Spokesperson of the Hong Kong Comprehensive Police Force

Chapter 589: Joint Meeting of Two Places
The boss's words and actions are always full of meaning.

Although Mr. Dong did not say anything explicitly, Zhou Quan got a lot of useful information from the boss's implicit suggestions.

As the second chief of the police force after Hong Kong's return to China, Zhou Quan indeed had such ambitions and aspirations in his heart.

However, judging from the current situation, this hope seems very slim.

Mr. Dong has made it very clear that Zhou Quan’s current qualifications are ultimately somewhat shallow.

Given his current age, becoming Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police is already an exceptional promotion.

But this has become a reality after all, and he also has a sufficiently outstanding and impressive work experience as a foundation.

What's more, the National Security Bureau was a fast track to promotion that he had created.

But if you want to move up a level and become the deputy commissioner of police, this is obviously impossible to achieve in a short period of time.

However, Mr. Dong happened to mention the issue of the second-in-command of the police force during the conversation, which was by no means groundless.

As the current number one's most trusted confidant, Zhou Quan is of course very familiar with the situation of his boss, who is almost 60 years old this year.

According to Hong Kong's retirement system, the boss will only have two to three years left in his term at most.

If Zhou Quan was given two or three years, he would have achieved success with his own abilities and foresight.

Whenever a major case is solved, there may be hope of succeeding the boss.

But Mr. Dong's suggestion gave Zhou Quan a glimmer of enlightenment that his boss might be entering retirement.

But he is currently only a senior assistant commissioner of the police force and it is impossible for him to become the next top cop in the police force.

But even so, Zhou Quan did not feel any loss in his heart.

Becoming the second top cop in the Hong Kong police force after the return of Hong Kong to China is just the ultimate goal that Zhou Quan will strive for with all his might in the next few years.

Originally, this hope was not that great.

This situation is quite normal now.

If he can't become the second top leader in the police force, then he will strive to become the third top leader. This will just help Zhou Quan relax a little bit.

Of course, this does not mean that his work attitude will change.

Being loyal to one's duties, standing firm and taking a clear stand are his bottom line.

It's nothing more than that the pressure Zhou Quan puts on himself is not as heavy as before.

After bidding farewell to Mr. Dong, Zhou Quan returned to his home with his wife and children in a calm state of mind.

He should be busy working blindly, and he should enjoy life.

As for Mr. Dong's advice, Zhou Quan naturally kept it in mind.

The boss mentioned by the big boss is obviously his direct superior, Sir Xu.

In fact, Zhou Quan often went to his boss's office without Mr. Dong's reminder.

Even at the boss's home, Zhou Quan would often visit with his wife and children.

Zhou Quan knew more about the environment at the boss's home than Mr. Dong's Mansion No. 1.

After the rest day, Zhou Quan returned to work with peace of mind.

He did not mention the conversation between him and Mr. Dong to anyone else, including his uncle Huang Bingyao and his uncle Li Wenbin.

When having a private conversation with a big boss, no matter how big or small the matter is, the first thing to pay attention to is to be careful with your words.

If your mouth is like a sieve, once the secret is leaked, how can the boss continue to give you advice in private in the future? Of course, Huang Bingyao and Li Wenbin are Zhou Quan's direct relatives after all, and he can't hide everything from his family.

When returning to Li Garden for a reunion, Zhou Quan also vaguely mentioned the age of his boss.

In fact, there is no need for Zhou Quan to remind this. Huang Bingyao and Li Wenbin are both core management of the police force. How could they not understand the system in this regard?
Especially Wong Bing-yiu, as the current operations DCP, he is the most likely contender for the next top police officer.

As long as the current number one retires, his chances of taking over will undoubtedly be the greatest.

Therefore, from the day Huang Bingyao was promoted to Deputy Director of Operations, he has always been dedicated and responsible to ensure that there are no mistakes in his work.

As for other aspects, that is not something Huang Bingyao is capable of deciding.

The position of the top police officer is very special. Even the big boss of the Hong Kong government is not qualified to make the final decision and can only make recommendations.

The real power to appoint personnel needs to be approved by higher-level officials in Hong Kong.

All Huang Bingyao can do is to do his job well.

Apart from this, no networking operations would be possible.

Therefore, whether it is Zhou Quan or Huang Bingyao, both of them have a very peaceful mentality.

Performing one's duties steadily and prudently is more important than any other operation.

Huang Bingyao's work was going smoothly, and Zhou Quan's actions were also going smoothly.

He is in charge of the overall National Security Department, and Zhou Xingxing is responsible for his assistance.

Below them are Luo Danian, Guan Wenzhan and Lu Qichang, each of whom has his own responsibilities. In addition, the commanders of each group are elites carefully selected by Zhou Quan.

Ordinary cases would only reach the heads of three departments at most before they were concluded.

Zhou Quan and Zhou Xingxing's responsibilities are more inclined towards macro-control of the entire police force.

There is no doubt about its importance, but it is not like directly commanding an operation. Sometimes I am so busy that I don’t even have time to eat.

Relatively speaking, the workload is quite light.

However, this relaxation was soon broken by a phone call.

"Sir He, what can your Criminal Division do to help our National Security Division?"

Looking at the caller ID on the internal phone, Zhou Quan chuckled and chatted with his colleague on the other end of the line.

The head of the Criminal Division, Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police Ho Ling-wan, was also Zhou Quan's nominal superior in the past.

"Sir Quan, we have a big operation going on here, and we may need the help of your National Security Department."

SACP He's voice was a little solemn in the receiver, and he directly expressed his purpose.

"If it's convenient for you now, shall we have a joint meeting in the top floor conference room?"

The Criminal Division and the National Security Division held a joint meeting, and the events behind this should not be underestimated.

"No problem, I'll go upstairs right away."

The originally relaxed smile disappeared instantly, and Zhou Quan expressed his attitude immediately without any hesitation.

Afterwards, the two senior assistant directors ended the call without further greeting.

However, Zhou Quan did not hang up the internal phone, but dialed the number of the administrative office area outside the office.

"Notify Zhou Xingxing, Luo Danian, and Lu Qichang to come to my office."
