The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 240 Lin Guoping's surrender
Li Yan signaled Li Xin'er to go upstairs and wait for him, and then asked Wu Ma to invite the person in.
Although Li Xiner was not happy in her heart!

But it is also clear that Li Yan is now a senior member of the police force, so it is normal for him to have some social engagements, and there may be more in the future. It is already very good that he does not stay out all night.

If she showed that she was unhappy, he would probably go out for social events in the future, which was something Li Xiner didn't want to see.

So he kissed Li Yan and whispered seductively: "I'll go upstairs to take a shower and wait for you."

Under Li Yan's instantly jealous gaze, he left behind a string of laughter and ran upstairs.
"This little goblin!"

Li Yan didn't come back to his senses until Li Xin'er disappeared on the stairs.

It has been five or six years since I came to the world of Infernal Affairs, and I can’t remember many of the characters in the show.

Only those with more main roles left a deep impression on me. The ones that only flashed by are now very blurry.

Since the other party said so, he should be a member of Group B of O. Actually, I will officially take office tomorrow. Today, I met with more than 100 people from Group B, and I remembered several inspector-level figures who were sitting at the same table with me.

Like Zhang Tingye, the leader of the second group, and the two team leaders under him, the two team leaders of the first group directly under him.

This Lin Guoping is probably just a passerby, so I don’t have much impression of him.

But I feel familiar with them, because they are the characters that appeared in the original drama.
You have to be careful when dealing with people like this.

It was less than half an hour after Li Yan got home when Lin Guoping arrived.

I guess he just followed his car back and waited outside for half an hour, giving himself time to relax but not delaying too long so that he would have to rest.

The time is just right, and it is also a good idea.
Li Yan smiled slightly in his heart. The police force is also a career path, and there is definitely no shortage of smart people who are eager to climb up.

The reason why Li Yan stayed in the living room was to wait for these people with ulterior motives.

These people will also be the first group of people to join him in the Organized Crime and Triad Society, although those who come to flatter him overnight may not be truly loyal to him.

But for those who didn’t come, I’m sure they don’t have a strong desire in this regard.

Of course, those who didn’t come may not necessarily want to get closer to me. They may also be people who are proud of their status, think they have the ability, and want to sell at a good price.

Don’t underestimate these details; all superficial communication in official circles is included in these details.

There are certain rules for when, how and what attitude to express. Those who think a little slowly will not be able to figure it out when they retire.

When Lin Guoping appeared in front of Li Yan under the leadership of Wu Ma.

Li Yan's eyes lit up!
I remembered it when I saw you.

Isn’t this another undercover agent of Han Chen, the one who hid the deepest, came out to help Liu Jianming at the last moment, but was silenced by Liu Jianming?

It is true that this guy is cunning and ruthless, but he is unlucky. He is not as handsome as Liu Jianming, and he does not have the care of Han Chen and his wife, so he is promoted very slowly.

After 2000, when Liu Jianming was promoted to Senior Inspector, he was still only a Senior Police Officer, five levels lower than Liu Jianming. No wonder he was unhappy and had a gloomy face all day, as if he was cuckolded?
Lin Guoping was still very young at that time. He was a handsome guy, full of vigor and energy. As soon as he walked into the gate and saw Li Yan, a flattering smile appeared on his face.

For some reason, Li Yan used to hate people like this, but now he particularly likes this attitude.
Others describe such people with contempt, calling them bootlickers and flatterers, and then they criticize them.

Li Yan thought, maybe that's from the perspective of a bystander?
The person being photographed would definitely not have such an opinion.

When facing such an attitude and expression, it seems that I feel the world's kindness towards me.
You will only feel like you are bathed in spring breeze, and your life will be full of pride. Your vanity will be greatly satisfied, and you will feel a sense of superiority and be intoxicated by it.
Ugh!
It's really degenerate.
Seeing that Li Yan was about to stand up, Lin Guoping hurriedly took two steps forward, placed the gift next to the sofa, and saluted.

Seeing Li Yan extending his hand, he quickly stretched out his hands and shook hands with Li Yan.

With just this small action, Lin Guoping's heart brightened. Li Sir was in a good mood, so it seemed that he didn't need to leave in a hurry.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Li, I am Officer Lin Guoping from Group B, Unit 29144, police number PC. Sorry to bother you so late at night."

"The main reason is that your speech today was so wise, it was simply deafening and enlightening! Inspired by you, I have some insights, and I really can't help but want to listen to your teachings in person. I came here to report my daily work to you smoothly, but I didn't expect to delay your rest."

Li Yan once again experienced the feeling of being a superior person, as if he had returned to the previous world when he was a prince. It is still better to be an official!

I used to have a high status in the society, but those bad boys in society didn't know how to serve others!

Li Yan smiled and said, "It's okay. I just got back too. It's still early. I have to wait a while to rest."

"Auntie Wu, serve the tea."

Lin Guoping was secretly delighted, thinking that Sir Li was indeed his superior!

This cup of tea is a reminder to myself that I have time to listen to my nagging and accept my loyalty.

What a good sign!

"Guoping, sit down."

"Mr. Li, you can just call me Xiaolin."

Li Yan nodded, thinking about the scenes on TV where the big guys met their subordinates, and leaned back on the sofa, his attitude amiable but also full of pride: "Xiao Lin, how old are you this year? When did you join the police force? What's your current position?"

Seeing Li Yan's attitude of a superior meeting a subordinate, Lin Guoping straightened his waist and smiled, and said with a serious face: "Report to Sir Lin, I am 24 years old this year. I joined the police force in 1992 and am now a senior police officer in the second group."

"Oh, you've made progress every two years. This shows that you are quite capable."

Although he said so, Li Yan actually thought in his heart that in 1992, he was one year later than himself and was in the same era as Liu Jianming.

Liu Jianming will be promoted to inspector next year in 1997, while Lin Guoping is only a senior police officer. No wonder he feels unbalanced.
When Li Yan first joined the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, he was completely in the dark about many things. He took this opportunity to ask Lin Guo about the situation in the police force.

Especially the composition of Group B, the growth experience of important members, their relationships with each other, people with backgrounds who need special attention, etc. Although these things will go to the police force tomorrow, there are also files to check.

But no matter what, no one can understand it more intuitively than this acquaintance who has been in Group B for four years.

Lin Guoping felt his own value, cheered himself up, and introduced the information of some important figures in Group B that he knew in detail.

Including who is whose brother-in-law, who is related to whom, who have conflicts with each other, who is suspected to have a backer background, etc.

The two talked for more than an hour, and Li Yan also had some intuitive impressions of the situation in Group B.

He nodded affirmatively, speaking in an official tone, and said admiringly: "Xiao Lin, you know so much, which shows that you work hard and put in a lot of effort."

"That's something you did very well!"

"In general, I approve of your work."

Lin Guoping was very excited to receive Li Yan's affirmation. He felt that his visit tonight was not in vain. He immediately said, "Mr. Li, thank you for your recognition."

"I, Lin Guoping, have not received much education, but I also know a saying: A gentleman will die for his friend. As long as Li Sir does not abandon me, I, Lin Guoping, am willing to hold the whip and stirrup, and serve you like a dog or a horse!"

Lin Guoping finished reciting the words of loyalty that he had memorized several times after looking them up on the computer before coming here, and looked at Li Yan with shining eyes.

When Li Yan heard this, he felt that Lin Guoping was sincere and did not use the slogan of "going through fire and water" that gangsters often said.

Even Li Yan used this rustic version, but Lin Guoping upgraded it. Knowing that he was a college student and well-educated, he used the more refined intermediate version of flattery.

Of course, this sentence, translated into layman's terms, means: 'Brother, I want to be your dog.'

Just for this reason, he is a talented person that can be cultivated.

Li Yan's heart moved. Just when he was worrying about how to do this "black in white", Lin Guoping automatically came to him. Isn't this a firewall given by God?

Thinking of the boss Dakang in the People's Justice, he was caught in the vortex, and was afraid of being punished by his superiors in the future because he was involved in the corruption.

But if he refused his superior, he was afraid of retaliation and loss of his official position.

So he appointed a greedy and unscrupulous deputy like Ding Yizhen, turned a blind eye and pushed all the troubles onto his deputy.

That is, helping the higher-ups to get things done without getting involved in it.

When the plan fails, the deputy will naturally be in trouble and be liquidated.

At most, he would be held responsible for not knowing the right people and failing to supervise properly, and he had perfectly avoided the trap.

That’s so fucking brilliant!
With Li Yan's current thinking, he couldn't come up with such an idea even if he racked his brains.

In this way, even if the higher-ups find out and someone sees through it, they won't blame him. After all, in today's environment, most people are willing to take the initiative to make money and their greed is insatiable.

It is really rare for an official to be able to restrain himself to this extent in the face of so much pressure.

Even Li Yan, who has so much experience in official life, can't tell whether Boss Dakang is guilty or not?

When it comes to political wisdom, Hong Kong Island still cannot compare with the mainland's thousands of years of profound official culture. At least until now, Li Yan has not seen anyone who is comparable to Boss Dakang.

Thinking of this, Li Yan saw Lin Guoping in front of him and nodded with satisfaction as if he saw Ding Yizheng.

But Lin Guoping's position is too low, he is just an ordinary police officer and cannot handle too many things!

His position and police rank cannot be raised in a short time. Even if it can be raised, Li Yan does not want to waste time and resources on such a pawn that is destined to be discarded.

what can we do about it?

Have
Li Yan's heart brightened!
He said kindly: "Xiao Lin, you know, I just arrived and I don't know much about the group, so I need some studious and motivated people around me."

"And loyal."

"Ah! No, it's the young people who are dedicated to the public. Do you think there are any outstanding young talents in the group that you can recommend?"

Lin Guoping was shocked and became excited. Is Li Sir hinting at me?
How should I answer?

Is it self-recommendation, or pretending to be innocent and recommending a few people hypocritically?

If I talk about myself directly, will Li Sir think that I am not modest and too shameless? If I recommend others, will Li Sir think that I am too hypocritical and irresponsible?
It's really difficult. Dealing with these high-level officials is more tiring than dealing with Brother Chen, that living devil.

Lin Guoping felt a headache and couldn't think of any complicated problems, so he decided to take the simplest approach and go straight to the point.

He stood up, straightened his back, and said firmly: "I recommend myself."

After seeing that Li Yan's face was not too unhappy, he explained: "I can't guarantee that I am the most suitable, but I must be the most loyal to Li Sir in the entire B group."

After saying this, he looked at Li Yan for advice, waiting for Li Yan's decision.
Li Yan laughed and got to know Lin Guoping a little better.

He is bold and courageous, and has great ambitions, but he is not very cunning and his mind is not that complicated.

A bit like Old Fourteen, but without Old Fourteen's scheming
Li Yan neither confirmed nor denied it, but asked Lin Guoping to sit down again and asked a question that was unexpected but reasonable.

"What kind of person do you think Zhang Tingye, the leader of Group 2, is?"

Lin Guoping was shocked. He came here today to seek refuge, of course he would not just bring with him the bottle of 1982 Lafite that he bought with a year's salary.

But it’s Zhang Tingye’s black material!
