Spokesperson of the Hong Kong Comprehensive Police Force

Chapter 873: A Closed-Door Meeting
Under Zhou Quan's influence, the Cold War incident has long become a mirage.

Perhaps the future of the police force may involve an operation codenamed Cold War.

But there is absolutely no way that the two are of the same nature.

However, no matter how deeply Zhou Quan is involved in the police force, the passage of time will not be affected in any way.

Assuming that Cai Yuanqi successfully becomes the second top manager after the police force's return, he will definitely have to step down from his position as the top boss in the near future.

After all, the Hong Kong government has clearly stipulated the retirement age!

Not to mention the top boss of the police force, even the big boss of the Hong Kong government does not have the ability to violate it.

According to the development of the Cold War incident, after Cai Yuanqi retired, Zeng Xiangrong took over.

Li Wenbin and Liu Jiehui are in charge of the police force's operations team and management team respectively.

However, not long after Zeng Xiangrong became the top police officer, and when he was at least two years away from his retirement age, he applied for early retirement.

At that time, the Cold War incident had not yet reached its climax.

The failure of the police force's Operation Cold War alone is not enough to make a top police officer resign.

Even if he retires early, it is impossible that it is the idea of ​​the Hong Kong government or even the senior officials in his hometown.

Even though Zeng Xiangrong's say in the police force during the Cold War incident could not be as great as Zhou Quan's current one.

But in the final analysis, the police chief is the highest manager in the police force.

And judging from his supportive attitude towards Liu Jiehui, he and Cai Yuanqi in the Cold War incident are people on completely different paths.

Zeng Xiangrong would basically never take the initiative to abdicate in order to facilitate the conspiracy of the remaining foreign forces.

As long as conditions permit, with Zeng Xiangrong's means and abilities, he is fully qualified to settle the so-called Cold War incident.

Unless it is due to personal health reasons that Zeng Xiangrong is unable to take on the heavy responsibility of the police force.

This situation just happens to fit the reason why Zeng Xiangrong has submitted an early retirement application to Zhou Quan.

Even if he continued to stay in the police force, he had no hope of becoming the top police officer.

The position of deputy commissioner of police alone was not enough to make him risk ruining his body.

After he understood the situation, Zhou Quan did not continue to persuade him and directly signed and approved Zeng Xiangrong's early retirement application.

As a result, four seats became vacant within the core management of the police force.

Among them are even two deputy commissioners, which is undoubtedly a major reshuffle of the core management of the police force.

Zhou Quan's original personnel adjustment plan would obviously have to change accordingly.

However, this time Zhou Quan did not act arbitrarily, but was prepared to listen to the opinions of his subordinates and colleagues.

In the conference room on the top floor of the police building, Zhou Quan summoned the only remaining deputy director Li Wenbin and five senior assistant directors.

He Lingyun, Cai Yuanqi and Zeng Xiangrong are now waiting to hand over their work, so naturally they will not continue to attend this meeting.

With his fingers crossed on the table, Zhou Quan leaned forward slightly and sat in the main seat without hesitation.

The only deputy director who is currently in charge of the core management of the police force and is in charge of his work normally, National Security DCP Li Wenbin, sits on his right.

Sitting opposite Li Wenbin was Zhou Xingxing, Zhou Quan’s top general.

Then, from right to left, there are Luo Danian, Liu Jiehui, Yin Xiaofeng and Han Xiaozhong.

This type of attending position basically represents their seats within the core management of the police force.

"Everyone, I'm sure you've all heard about what happened between Mr. He and Mr. Cai!"

Looking around at his colleagues on both sides, Zhou Quan went straight into the main topic of today's core meeting.

"I can clearly inform you that Mr. He and Mr. Cai have formally submitted their early retirement applications to me."

Before his colleagues on both sides could react, Zhou Quan continued, "In addition to the two of them, there is also Mr. Zeng from the Criminal Division and Mr. Deng from New Territories South."

As he spoke, he paused for a moment, his expression becoming more serious. "This means that four seats in the core management of our police force will be vacant soon."

"There is no doubt that two of the five senior assistant commissioners here will be promoted to deputy commissioners of police."

"Two people from the assistant commissioners and chief superintendents are also needed to fill the vacant seats in our core management."

“I would like to hear everyone’s opinions on this situation.”

At this moment, the six core senior members of the police force on both sides also had solemn expressions in their eyes.

Beneath this outwardly solemn appearance, there is also a barely perceptible but extremely intense excitement hidden.

Five to two, the senior assistant commissioners of police force present here have a great chance to move up to the next level.

Of course, Li Wenbin is not included.

He retired as Deputy Commissioner of Police, which was basically the limit of his police career.

Unless Zhou Quan's position changes and he is directly appointed by higher-ups of the Hong Kong government to serve as the principal person in charge of one of the three secretariats or the Security Bureau.

Given the respect and trust that the top brass in his hometown have for Zhou Quan, it would be impossible for him to be transferred to the position of deputy director of the Security Bureau like Huang Bingyao.

Even the deputy director of the Third Bureau did not match his status.

After all, the fundamental reason why Huang Bingyao was transferred to the Security Bureau was to make way for Zhou Quan.

His career in the Security Bureau was actually just drinking tea, reading newspapers, listening to music, and then waiting for retirement.

On the other hand, Zhou Quan is now in his prime.

Even if he continues to sit on the top of the police force for another ten years, he still has a great chance of becoming the big boss of the Hong Kong government.

Either he will be promoted normally to the Secretary for Security, or he will be promoted to the head of three departments.

The most likely position is the Secretary for Justice.

You know, Sir Quan graduated from the law department of one of the world's top universities.

What's more, he is also the main drafter and issuer of the Hong Kong National Security Bill.

The position of the Department of Justice is undoubtedly more suitable than that of the Financial Secretary and the Secretary for Administration.

As for the position of the big boss of the Hong Kong government, one needs to resign from all positions and participate in the election.

Even now, Zhou Quan is qualified to run for election, but his success rate is not high.

Therefore, before Zhou Quan received special appointment from the top management in his hometown, Li Wenbin had no hope of becoming the top police officer.

Even if the top management in his hometown promoted Zhou Quan, it would not happen in a short period of time.

For Li Wenbin, no matter how the core management of the police force is adjusted, the most he can do is change the content of his work.

Sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai is a true reflection of his current state of mind.

In comparison, the hearts of the other five senior assistant commissioners of police were obviously not so calm.

However, none of the five of them spoke first.

The position of deputy commissioner of police was vacant, which made the five of them feel very excited.

But if they want to sit in this position, they need to consider many factors, which is definitely not something they can achieve just by thinking about it.

"Everyone present here is one of us. Today's meeting is just a closed-door communication between us."

Seeing that his colleagues below remained silent, Zhou Quan couldn't help but smile.

"If you have any ideas, please feel free to speak up."

"You can recommend each other, and you can also recommend yourself."
