Spokesperson of the Hong Kong Comprehensive Police Force

Chapter 636: Cai Sir, Zeng Sir, Guan Dabangchui
If the police force's traditional management system was followed, Zeng Yuming would have basically secured his position as the top cop in the next police force after he was transferred to the position of DCP of operations.

Because within the police force, the operations DCP has always been the second most important person after the top cop.

Of course, this has a prerequisite, that is, when Wong Bing-yiu steps down, Zeng Yuming still has sufficient years of service in the police force.

But today, the dust has settled.

The position that symbolizes the second-in-command of the police force has changed.

Sir Quan, who serves as the DCP for national security, is the boss in the police force, second only to the first officer.

As long as nothing unexpected happens in the next few years, Zhou Quan will definitely take over the position of the top police officer in the police force.

Under such circumstances, Huang Bingyao transferred Zeng Yuming to the position of operations DCP for two main reasons.

The first point is to give Zeng Yuming the dignity he deserves.

He can forget about getting the next No. 1 spot, he basically has no hope.

As for another reason, it is that Wong Bing-yao is preparing to make some adjustments to the core management of the police force.

Now that Commissioner Wong has taken office, he will of course try his best to expand his influence in the core management of the police force.

After all, he is not the former number one, and does not have the final say of the first director since the return.

Zeng Yuming's transfer to the position of Operations DCP will allow him to increase his voice in the management of the police force.

"The former Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police and Director of the Supervision Department, Cai Yuanqi, was promoted to Deputy Commissioner of Police, in charge of management work."

The new No. 1, Mr. Huang, spoke in a calm and composed voice as he read out his next personnel adjustment without haste.

There are a total of six senior assistant commissioner positions within the core management of the current police force.

Operations Department, Personnel Department, Criminal Department, Supervision Department, National Security Department, and Financial Planning Department.

Director of the Operations Department, Li Wenbin, and Director of the Criminal Department, He Lingyun, these two senior assistant directors are Huang Bingyao's confidants.

The Personnel Department and the Finance Department belong to Zeng Yuming's direct line.

After all, these two departments not only focus on management, but Zeng Yuming was promoted from the Finance Department.

As for the remaining regulatory department, and the National Security Department.

The latter is self-evident, as this is where Zhou Quan's power base is located.

The former is commanded by Cai Yuanqi, a senior assistant commissioner who is close to the Li faction of the police force.

Huang Bingyao needs to ensure the reliability of the Operations Department and the Criminal Division, so the commanders of these two departments cannot be moved lightly.

Of course, the main reason is that Huang Bingyao needs to avoid suspicion.

The relationship between him, Li Wenbin, and Zhou Quan is too close.

It's impossible that he would be so impatient to promote Li Wenbin to deputy commissioner of police right after taking office.

Otherwise, Huang Bingyao is the top police officer, and Zhou Quan and Li Wenbin occupy two of the three deputy commissioners' seats in the police force.

In this case, does the entire police force belong to them or is it under the jurisdiction of the Hong Kong government?
Most importantly, compared with several other senior assistant directors, Li Wenbin does not have the advantage of promotion.

The situation of He Lingyun from the Criminal Department is not much different from that of Li Wenbin.

Under such circumstances where he needed to avoid suspicion, Huang Bingyao certainly could not directly promote his own family members.

Among the other senior assistant directors, Zhou Xingxing was promoted exceptionally by the former number one director just half a month ago, and the Personnel Department and the Finance Department are Zeng Yuming's direct subordinates.

After all, Wong Bing-yao was preparing to strengthen his power in the management of the police force, rather than giving benefits to Tsang Yu-ming for no reason.

In this case, the only person Huang Bingyao could choose was Cai Yuanqi, the commander of the Supervisory Department.

What's more, Cai Yuanqi is also half a member of the Li faction in the police force.

Mr. Li Shutang was his former boss, Huang Bingyao himself was his current boss, and Li Wenbin had a very good relationship with him. Huang Bingyao had no choice at first, and with the friendship between them, he would of course help Cai Yuanqi to the top.

In fact, almost all the core management personnel of the police force had foreseen this newly appointed DCP for police management.

This includes Zhou Quan himself.

Even within the future developments that Zhou Quan knew, Cai Yuanqi's position was very questionable.

However, there is a saying that goes, A gentleman judges by deeds, not by heart.

Regardless of Cai Yuanqi's future, he has not taken any action that would endanger the stability of Hong Kong Island or national security interests.

During the period of Hong Kong's return to China, Cai Yuanqi was also an aspiring person who strongly supported the sovereignty of Hong Kong.

Otherwise, Cai Yuanqi would have been persuaded to resign from the police force long ago.

The National Security Act and the establishment of the National Security Department have built an iron wall to safeguard Hong Kong's stability and national interests.

Knowing that Cai Yuanqi would have problems in the future, how could Zhou Quan remain indifferent and not make any advance preparations?

Whether it is the original Internal Investigation Department or the current Political Investigation Department.

The National Security Bureau’s annual review and evaluation of Cai Yuanqi is the most rigorous among the entire core management team.

If Cai Yuanqi had any problem at all, Zhou Quan would have taken direct action against him.

Today, Cai Yuanqi is able to stay safe in the core management of the police force, and was even chosen by Huang Bingyao to be promoted to management DCP.

This means that he is still a trustworthy and reliable person for the time being.

Most importantly, current events create heroes.

Sir Quan is now standing at the forefront of the times. How could he lack the confidence to suppress Cai Yuanqi?
Regardless of status or authority, Cai Yuanqi could not compete with Zhou Quan.

As long as Zhou Quan himself does not make serious mistakes, Cai Yuanqi will always be suppressed by him.

After Zhou Quan took over the entire police force, it was no longer possible for Cai Yuanqi to cause any waves.

Therefore, Zhou Quan was very calm about Cai Yuanqi's ascension to power, without any ripples at all.

"The former Assistant Commissioner of Police and Commander of the Hong Kong Island Region, Tsang Heung-wing, has been promoted to Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police and appointed Director of the Supervision Division."

"Former Chief Superintendent Kwan Chi-pong has been promoted to Assistant Commissioner of Police and appointed Regional Commander of Hong Kong Island."

Commissioner Huang did not make any detailed adjustments to the core management of the police force. He merely filled the vacant seat after the replacement of the top boss.

Of course, three of these four personnel adjustments are measures that will help him strengthen the entire police force.

The situations of Zeng Xiangrong and Cai Yuanqi are almost the same, both of them are half members of the Li faction in the police force.

As Tsai Sir’s voice in the core management of the police force increases, it is obviously impossible for Zeng Sir to continue standing still.

After all, he is a veteran in the police force. Huang Bingyao and Li Wenbin were even inferior to him in the past.

Even though the Hong Kong Island Region encountered many minor problems in the past two years, Zeng Xiangrong's abilities are not for show after all.

Ever since he cooperated tacitly with Zhou Quan's internal investigation procedures for the Hong Kong Island Region, he has also made many excellent responses.

With sufficient ability and achievements, his promotion is completely reasonable and in line with procedures.

This can be seen from the fact that Huang Bingyao used the word "promotion" in his personnel appointment.

As for General Guan Zhibang, he was also promoted because of his merits.

Guan Dabangchui, as the current top cop calls him, has been working as a district commander for many years and has now finally entered the core management of the police force.

It’s just a pity for Quan Sir’s eldest disciple. The handsome A-Zu wants his father to salute him, but he has a long way to go.
