Spokesperson of the Hong Kong Comprehensive Police Force

Chapter 228 It is the foundation at the bottom that determines the height of the upper level
After having lunch at Mr. Zhou's house, Zhou Quan drove west and returned to No. 7 Courtyard on the Peak of Taiping.

In the study of Mr. Li Shutang, three generations of core members of the Li family, old, middle and young, were sitting around.

"Quan Zai, Xiang Rong is looking for someone from me."

Mr. Li Shutang took a sip of hot tea and looked at Zhou Quan with a smile.

"He is going to let you join the anti-drug team and then gradually take up the banner of NB."

Having said this, Mr. Li paused for a moment.

"Also, Sir Lu from the Security Department also likes you very much."

He changed the subject and mentioned Lu Minghua and the Security Department.

"Although Sir Lu has not entered the Constitutional Committee-level management, the significance of the Security Department is extraordinary."

"After the return of Hong Kong Island, the status of this department is likely to be equivalent to the recently abolished Political Department."

Yesterday at the meeting in Tai Kwun, both Zeng Xiangrong and Lu Minghua extended an olive branch to Zhou Quan.

As an emperor and a courtier, after the immediate boss changes, the other party will definitely promote his confidants.

Zeng Xiangrong promised to let Zhou Quan stir up the banner of the Narcotics Investigation Division, which is simply unrealistic.

However, in Zhou Quan's heart, among the three choices, the anti-drug team was the one that was least in line with his wishes.

But if Zeng Xiangrong no longer continues to be in charge of the Criminal Department, how can the newly appointed Assistant Director ask Zhou Quan to take over the Narcotics Investigation Division?

But this is also unrealistic. The 28-year-old Chief Superintendent is the top constitutional committee member of the police force.

Being promoted to Senior Superintendent was considered as Zhou Quan's rapid progress and exceptional promotion.

In the study at this moment, everyone present was Zhou Quan's elders, so Zhou Quan naturally had something to say.

He wants to take over the Narcotics Investigation Division with full authority, but there are still two levels missing from it: Senior Superintendent and Chief Superintendent.

Zhou Quan raised his eyebrows and said jokingly: "The cake drawn by Sir Zeng is too big, I'm afraid I can't eat it!"

Even after it is published in the Hong Kong Government Gazette, Zhou Quan will only be the superintendent.

Unless Zhou Quan can be promoted to the position of chief superintendent before returning.

Even Zhou Quan, the biological son of the first chief executive after the return of Hong Kong Island, would not be able to do it.

That was Zhou Quan's two elders who entered the Criminal Division of the police force.

"What do you think?"

"Grandpa, I'm not going to go to the anti-drug team."

Either his uncle Huang Bingyao was promoted to the director of the criminal department, or he was transferred to the head of the criminal department.

Now there are only three years left before Hong Kong Island returns to the motherland.

If he becomes the Commissioner of Crime, his promise may still be fulfilled.

When the police force is fully taken over by the motherland, Zeng Xiangrong will most likely be promoted.

In addition, there is another possibility.

Either his uncle Li Wenbin was promoted and took over Zeng Xiangrong's position.

However, all these are just the best plans. Who can say clearly the changes in reality.

Three years was too long, and Zeng Xiangrong's promise was undoubtedly a stretch.

In comparison, Zhou Quan would be more inclined to the Security Department if he was transferred to Tai Kwun.

Basically all the police officers in these departments are forces supported by the motherland.

Moreover, the Security Department has a brighter future. At the very least, it is equivalent to a direct train to DCP.

The only thing that worries Zhou Quan is that Lu Minghua now attaches great importance to his abilities and background.

But even if Zhou Quan enters the Security Department, he will not be Lu Minghua's first confidant to train and support.

Liu Jiehui, Lu Minghua's direct subordinate in the personnel department, is the real successor in his heart.

Zhou Quan has received the news that Liu Jiehui will be gazetted by the Hong Kong government next working day. After Hong Kong Island officially returns to the motherland, Liu Jiehui will definitely be promoted to chief superintendent.

When Lu Minghua gets promoted, Liu Jiehui will definitely follow him.

As a result, Zhou Quan can only rank behind Liu Jiehui.

It is precisely because of this concern that he is now a little entangled in his heart.

Observing the change in Zhou Quan's expression, Huang Bingyao considered it for a moment and turned his attention to Mr. Li Shutang.

"Dad, Sir Zeng and Sir Lu are still doing my work this morning."

Director Huang Da refilled a cup of tea for his father-in-law and said slowly: "I don't intend to let Quan Zai leave West Kowloon."

"Once his appointment is gazetted, I am ready to promote him as deputy director of operations in West Kowloon."

"By then, Quan Zai will be fully in charge of the anti-gang department in West Kowloon, and he will also be involved in major crime and military uniform departments."

"Quan Zai is still young now, it's time to lay a solid foundation."

"And Quan Zai is right, Sir Zeng is trying to spread the pie."

"As for Lu Minghua, although the security department has great prospects, Quan Zai's level is still too low."

"If Quan Zai is now the chief superintendent, even if he is a senior superintendent, I will support him to enter Tai Kwun without hesitation."

"It's a pity that Quan Zai's appointment as superintendent has not been officially announced yet."

It has to be said that Director Huang’s insights hit the nail on the head.

If Zhou Quan now carries two stars and one crown on his shoulders, then he will definitely support Zhou Quan in joining the security department.

The Ministry of Security has banned the original Political Department, and the top police officers within it are basically forces supported by the motherland.

The significance behind this department is self-evident. It is definitely the department with the brightest future in the police force today.

But the crux of the problem is that Zhou Quan's level is a bit low.

Even if he enters the security department, he cannot become an important role.

To put it behind closed doors, even if he queues up for the top position, Zhou Quan will not be the first choice.

Huang Bingyao had no children. He regarded his nephew as his own son. Of course, he had to make detailed and careful plans for Zhou Quan.

Deputy director of the operations department of the West Kowloon Police District and commander-in-chief of the anti-gang department. This is the new position Huang Bingyao prepared for Zhou Quan.

Taking the anti-gang department as Zhou Quan's base, he then gradually got involved in serious cases, military uniforms and other operational departments.

After all, no matter what time it is, only a solid and stable bottom foundation can determine the height of the top floor.

In this way, after Zhou Quan is promoted to chief superintendent.

Whether you are promoted to an important department in Tai Kwun or take charge of a division, it will be easier and smoother.

"Dad, I also agree with my brother-in-law's idea."

Huang Bingyao's statement was immediately recognized by Li Wenbin.

"Quan Zai is very ambitious. He has achieved the goal we originally envisioned three years ahead of schedule."

"For Quan Zai, entering Tai Kwun to take over my position is no longer the best choice."

"Focusing on Brother Yi's position, or even breaking out of the police force's framework, will become Quan Zai's new goal."

"The command experience of multiple departments at the grassroots level of the police force will obviously be more beneficial to Quan Zai's future."

"It's a little too early to let Quan Zai enter the police headquarters now."

Having said this, Li Wenbin glanced meaningfully outside the study window, which was the east of Li Garden.

"Besides, with that old man here, what difference does it make whether Quan Zai is a direct descendant of the Security Department or not?"

"When Mr. Quan reaches a high level, the system supported by the motherland within the police force will eventually have a place for Mr. Quan."
