Spokesperson of the Hong Kong Comprehensive Police Force

Chapter 567: A New Century at the Age of Thirty

The passage of time is like the breeze on your fingertips, invisible and incapable of being grasped, but it can leave very obvious traces of its existence.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and another year has passed in the blink of an eye. Sir Quan, the youngest core management member of the police force, has also reached his thirties.

As the saying goes, a man should be independent at the age of thirty, but Zhou Quan has achieved more than just something.

The achievements he has made now are already heights that many police officers cannot reach in their entire lives.

However, this is still not the limit of Sir Quan.

Sir Quan entered his thirties, and the times also entered the new century.

At the beginning of the millennium, the first full management meeting of the police force was held as scheduled.

The highlight of this meeting, of course, is the improvement of the National Security Bureau's organization.

On August 1, 1998, the Security Wing of the Police Force was upgraded to the National Security Department of the Police Force in accordance with the legislative basis of the National Security Act.

Zhou Quan took advantage of the opportunity to enter the core management of the police force and became one of the youngest core leaders of the police force. He served as the first director of the National Security Department of the police force with the rank of Assistant Commissioner.

For the vast majority of police officers, Assistant Commissioner is a position they will never be able to achieve in their lifetime.

For Zhou Quan, this position was also an extraordinary promotion.

But for the entire police force, the National Security Department is definitely a low-level position with high qualifications.

Looking at all the branches of the police force, which commander is not at the level of Senior Assistant Commissioner?
Positions correspond to levels, which has been the traditional system in the police force.

However, when Zhou Quan took office as the commander of the Security Department, he only had two stars and one bauhinia flower on his shoulders.

Even though he was the first director of the National Security Department chosen by Mr. Dong and the top police officer, he still needed time to make the transition.

Even if he is valued by higher-ups in the Hong Kong government, it is impossible for him to ascend to the position of senior assistant director in one step.

It has been one year and four months since the National Security Department was established. It is time for the Department to thoroughly improve its main organization.

During this year and more, the International Security Department successfully completed all tasks assigned by the police force.

In addition, the commanders of various departments led their teams to solve many major cases.

Although it cannot be said that he has made great contributions to the police force, this work report has been recognized by the core management of the police force and senior officials of the Hong Kong government.

Therefore, the National Security Department was fully and soundly organized and naturally entered into discussions among the core management of the police force.

In fact, there is nothing to discuss, as the biggest boss has put it on the agenda.

With the National Security Bureau performing so well, how could anyone go against the wishes of the boss?

What's more, Zhou Quan also has many supporters among the core management of the police force.

In the auditorium of the Police Force's Tai Kwun, the top leader, who was sitting in a formal attire at the very center of the core management team, read out the detailed adjustments to the National Security Department of the Police Force.

"My dear colleagues, I think you have all witnessed the performance of the National Security Department since its establishment."

Through the crystal lenses, Sir Xu's gentle gaze swept across all the chief superintendents of the police force below.

"According to the normal establishment of the police force, the position of Director of the National Security Department corresponds to the level of Senior Assistant Director of the Police Force."

"The core management of the police force and even the Hong Kong government authorities highly recognize the work ability of Commissioner Zhou Quan."

"Therefore, I would like to take advantage of this first full management meeting of the year to announce some changes to the National Security Department of the Police Force."

"After discussion among the core management of the police force and approval by the Chief Executive, Assistant Commissioner Chow Kuen is now officially promoted to Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police and will continue to have full authority to command the work of the National Security Department."

The eldest brother clarified Zhou Quan's rank and position, and raised Zhou Quan's seat in the core management of the police force to a higher level.

Since this was an internal meeting of the police force, everything was based on the identity of the police force, so the first brother did not specifically indicate the honor of Zhou Quan's Gold Bauhinia Star. Of course, in the subsequent publication of the Hong Kong Government Gazette, Zhou Quan's name must be followed by the honorary title of GBS.

"Now, let us welcome Senior Assistant Director Zhou Quan to his new post!"

As he was speaking, the eldest brother started to applaud first, which deeply reflected his love and attention to his number one confidant.

"Crash!"

Welcomed by the entire management of the police force, Zhou Quan stood up in high spirits.

He first faced all the chief superintendents below him, and then turned one by one to the core management led by his own boss.

After the salute, Zhou Quan did not express any personal remarks, but simply sat down again.

SACP Zhou's promotion is just one part of this meeting.

The detailed adjustments to the National Security Department are the subject of normal meetings.

"After discussion by the core management of the police force, it was reported to the Chief Executive for approval."

After the applause died down, Mr. Xu continued with a smile and announced: "He is now officially promoted to Assistant Commissioner of Police and Deputy Commissioner of National Security."

After all, Zhou Xingxing was only at the level of Chief Superintendent of Police before, so it was obviously inappropriate to call him the Deputy Director of the National Security Department.

Therefore, his position in the police force is deputy director of the National Security Department of the Police Force.

But starting today, everything is back to normal.

Deputy Director of the National Security Department, Assistant Commissioner of Police, ACP Zhou Xingxing, officially entered the core management of the police force.

Amid the applause and welcome from all the management officers of the police force, Zhou Xingxing stood up and saluted just like his boss Sir Quan.

"ACP Zhou Xingxing, come up here!"

The eldest brother nodded with a smile and called Zhou Xingxing to come to the podium.

"A place has been prepared for you in advance."

Because he loves his beloved general, Yi Ge also has a good impression of the subordinates of his trusted and beloved general.

Most importantly, Zhou Xingxing’s abilities are outstanding enough.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the boss to promote him to the core management of the police force.

It would be somewhat inappropriate for the newly-appointed Assistant Commissioner of Police to continue sitting in the position of Chief Superintendent.

After all, this time, the only change in the core management seat of the police force was Zhou Xingxing.

"Yes, sir!"

Zhou Xingxing, who was extremely excited, greeted them loudly, strode to the podium with his head held high, and sat at the very end.

This is the highest-level decision-making seat in the police force. He, the former number one killer of the Flying Tigers, has completely made it.

At this moment, Zhou Xingxing is filled with endless gratitude to his boss who has supported him all the way.

Without the presence of his own boss, there would be no ACP Week today.

Maybe he had been transferred to the traffic team or guarding the pond a few years ago.

Of course, Zhou Xingxing is also grateful to his boss’s boss from the bottom of his heart.

After all, his promotion was entirely the decision made by the eldest brother.
