Spokesperson of the Hong Kong Comprehensive Police Force

Chapter 416: The united police force

The four commanders of the action team acted quickly and rushed to Zhou Quan's office immediately after receiving the news.

"head!"

The four of them raised their hands and saluted, and the purple and gold flower police ranks on their shoulders were particularly eye-catching.

Since they were not sure why their boss had summoned them, the expressions on their faces appeared very serious.

"Sit down and talk!"

Nodding and chuckling, Zhou Quan called upon his four trusted generals to walk towards the reception sofa.

Zhou Quan's relaxed expression made the four commanders under him not so serious anymore.

The four of them naturally understood their boss's decisive character very well.

Since the boss hasn't given any direct orders at the moment, this summons should not be for any case operation.

After his inner emotions relaxed, Zhou Xingxing immediately returned to his usual self.

Guan Wenzhan, Luo Danian and Lu Qichang followed Zhou Quan and walked towards the reception sofa.

Zhou Xingxing ran to Zhou Quan's desk and directly found Zhou Quan's tea can.

He picked up the tea can without any hesitation, then went to the water dispenser and started making tea for everyone.

The whole process was very natural, like an instinctive habit.

Zhou Quan was no longer surprised by this.

When there is no mission operation, he has always been very tolerant of his brothers.

What's more, Zhou Xingxing is, after all, a police superintendent.

His willingness to make tea for Zhou Quan not only represented that he was not distant with his boss, but also showed his respect for his boss.

"Just now, at the full management meeting of the police force, it was decided that Lu Sir and Liu Sir would be transferred out of the Security Department."

After Zhou Xingxing had brewed the tea and sat down, Zhou Quan slowly started talking.

"I will be responsible for taking over the position of head of the security department."

Hearing this, Zhou Xingxing, Guan Wenzhan, Luo Danian, and Lu Qichang all showed excitement in their eyes.

If their boss takes a step forward, their brothers will naturally follow suit.

As for whether their police ranks could be promoted, the four of them did not have too many extravagant expectations.

After all, the four of them were promoted after Zhou Quan took office as the Security Department, and they have only been police superintendents for three and a half years.

According to the promotion mechanism of the police force, the four of them wanted to go one step further and carry another four-pointed star on their shoulders.

To be honest, the hope of success is not zero, but it is definitely not high.

Looking at the entire police force, there are definitely quite a few superintendents who have higher qualifications and better resumes than these four people.

What really makes Zhou Xingxing, Guan Wenzhan, Luo Danian, Lu Qichang and others excited is that their boss is fully responsible for the work of the entire security department.

This will increase the authority they hold.

Even if their police ranks remain unchanged for the time being, sooner or later there will be opportunities for promotion and salary increase for the four of them.

The kindness of their boss towards his brothers is a fact recognized by the entire police force.

What's more, the four of them are the trusted generals under their own boss.

At this moment, the four police superintendents sat very upright, just like students waiting for instruction from their teacher, listening quietly to what their boss had to say.

"I have discussed with Sir Lu and Sir Liu and plan to keep the two vacant deputy director positions within our security department."

As he spoke, Zhou Quan set his eyes on Zhou Xingxing and Guan Wenzhan.

"Ah Xing, Ah Guan, I recommended both of you."

"Ah Xing will be in charge of operations, Ah Guan you will take over the administrative team."

Zhou Xingxing and Guan Wenzhan, who were directly named, both had a dazed look on their faces.

Then, it turned into disbelief and excitement that was difficult to conceal.

Both of them are now in their youth, and when they were transferred to the Security Department, they were only in their early thirties.

At this age and at this level, he is definitely a senior officer with a promising future within the police force.

If he is promoted to senior superintendent, before the age of 35, he will have a great chance of reaching the core management level of the police force in the future.

Although compared with the big boss, he still can't compare with him.

But this kind of achievement is simply beyond the reach of ordinary police officers.

Even though Zhou Xingxing and Guan Wenzhan were both fully qualified to be considered as having experienced many storms, at the moment they were still unable to remain calm and composed.

However, because Luo Danian and Lu Qichang were there, they were able to suppress their emotions.

Over the years, Zhou Xingxing, Guan Wenzhan, Luo Danian, and Lu Qichang have all served as team commanders under Zhou Quan.

They work very well together and have a very deep friendship in private.

There are only two vacancies for the position of deputy director of the security department. If Zhou Xingxing and Guan Wenzhan take the positions, there will definitely be no room for Luo Danian and Lu Qichang.

No matter how excited they were, Zhou Xingxing and Guan Wenzhan also needed to consider the emotions of their two partners and friends beside them.

Zhou Xingxing remained silent, while a look of struggle gradually emerged on Guan Wenzhan's face.

"Boss, Mr. Luo is more suitable for the position of administrative director than me."

Then, Guan Wenzhan said solemnly: "In the three years since the establishment of the Security Department, the work of Luo Sir and his intelligence team is obvious to all."

"Whenever there is a major operation, Mr. Luo's support is very comprehensive."

"When it comes to the candidate to take over the administrative team, Sir Luo is more suitable than me." Guan Wenzhan suppressed the regret in his heart and emphasized it again with a sincere look.

That's the position of senior superintendent, how could Guan Wenzhan really not take it seriously?

However, everything he said now was what he really thought.

Looking at the four police commanders under Zhou Quan, Zhou Xingxing is almost like Zhou Quan's deputy.

If one of the four of them were to be chosen to replace Zhou Quan, Zhou Xingxing would naturally be the first choice.

But among the remaining three people, Guan Wenzhan, Luo Danian and Lu Qichang, Luo Danian's role is undoubtedly more prominent.

Guan Wenzhan and Lu Qichang are only responsible for the specific responsibilities of their respective teams.

But although Luo Danian is called the commander of the intelligence team, he is actually the chief steward of the entire security department's operations team.

All the operations that Zhou Quan was responsible for were supported by Luo Danian.

In Guan Wenzhan's opinion, Luo Danian is obviously more suitable to be the head of the administrative team than him.

"Boss, please don't listen to what Guan Sir says."

Guan Wenzhan spoke up for Luo Danian regardless of his own future, but Luo Danian certainly couldn't just sit there on the sofa.

"In the past few years, the G4 commanded by Guan Sir has perfectly completed the security tasks assigned by the police force."

"Mr. Guan's ability is obvious to all. I fully support his promotion to head of the administrative team."

He rarely showed his usual gentleness and quickly refuted Guan Wenzhan's statement, expressing his support and agreement with Guan Wenzhan.

At this moment, Luo Danian's expression was also very sincere.

An executive who specializes in administration may not be able to become an independent operator.

But these officers who have been promoted from the front line are able to sit in their current positions.

Even in the administrative field, one will have his own insights and opinions.

Guan Wenzhan is able to command the VIP protection team in an orderly manner, so his administrative abilities will definitely not be much inferior.

Even though Luo Danian felt a little disappointed about his promotion to the administrative director of the security department, he definitely had no objection.

As for Lu Qichang, he remained silent just like Zhou Xingxing.

No matter which partner or friend gets promoted, he will always support and bless them in his heart.

Although Lu Qichang was very envious, he knew that he was still some distance away from the two deputy supervisor positions.

Looking at the humility between Guan Wenzhan and Luo Danian, a look of relief flashed in Zhou Quan's eyes.

The four people in front of him were all his trusted generals, so he naturally didn't want any grudges to arise between them.

Unfortunately, there are only two vacancies for senior superintendents in the Security Department.

Otherwise, he would sacrifice his reputation and try his best to help his brothers go one step further.

"Well, this is all just a plan now."

He tapped the armrest of the sofa with his finger and Zhou Quan returned the core to himself.

“Whether it will be successful or not is something that only the core management of the police force can decide.”

Then he turned his attention to Luo Danian and Lu Qichang.

"Anian, Achang, I have some arrangements for you two."

He continued solemnly, "After I officially take over the Security Department, I will propose a very critical and important bill to the higher authorities in Hong Kong Island."

"The Security Department cannot promote all four of you right now, but that is only temporary."

"If everything goes well, it may be possible to add two more senior superintendent positions."

"If you two are willing to wait, I will fully support you both when the time is right."

"But this major reshuffle within the police force is indeed a rare opportunity."

"So I have another option here, which is to send the two of you to the police precinct below."

"I will help you two run the selection committee for the senior superintendent."

Although Zhou Quan did not say it explicitly, he also revealed some of the inside story to his brothers.

For Zhou Quan, the security department is just the beginning.

His main goal in the short term is to ensure the smooth implementation of the National Security Bill.

By then, even the entire Security Department will be upgraded and become a core department within the police force like the Operations Department and the Personnel Department.

Zhou Quan's real intention is to use the Security Department as a stepping stone to be promoted to the core management of the police force.

"Boss, I am willing to continue to follow you and do things."

Luo Danian chose the first path without any hesitation.

"Boss, I am willing too."

At the same time, Lu Qichang also expressed his attitude simply and clearly.

Delegating to a lower-level police district is indeed a good choice, but there is also a lot of uncertainty in this.

Even if the boss himself pushes the selection committee, there are still many superintendent-level officers waiting for promotion within the police force.

In terms of qualifications, both of them knew that they were far inferior to their senior brothers and sisters.

There is hope for promotion, but it cannot be absolute.

However, if I continue to stay in the security department, given the character of my boss, how could he possibly treat me unfairly?
