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

Chapter 241 Killing someone with a borrowed knife

Today at the bar, Zhang Tingye relied on his seniority to ignore Huang Sir and Li Sir, and Lin Guoping saw it all. At that time, Lin Guoping felt that the opportunity had come, and he could use Zhang Tingye's dirty tricks to surrender to Li Sir and relieve Li Sir's worries.

Good to catch this line.

Lin Guoping saw it very clearly. Behind Li Sir was Huang Sir, and behind him was Commissioner Liang, and behind them there must be more people in the senior positions of the Police Force. This was definitely an extremely solid, indestructible ship with a bright future.

As long as you can accept yourself, there will be a bright future ahead of you.

They had just talked about all the people in Group B, and both of them had intentionally avoided Li Yan, the most capable group leader.

Lin Guoping is a subordinate, so he can't talk about his superiors casually, for fear that Li Yan will have a bad impression.

Li Yan also avoided it because he had not yet fully understood the background of this troublemaker.

In official circles, whether or not to deal with a person is not as important as whether or not there is a grudge against him. The key is whether the other person has a background and backing.

If there is someone you cannot afford to offend, it is best to bow your head or make peace with them. Even if there is a grudge, you must turn hostility into friendship.

No matter how much the other party doesn't give you face.
If there is nothing behind them, as long as they are blocking your way and are beneficial to you, you can take action.

But it also depends on whether this person is popular among the people.

Winning people’s hearts is one way, and losing people’s hearts is another way?

As for whether he was wrong or not, whether he was greedy or took advantage of others, none of that matters.
Lin Guoping said in detail, "Zhang Tingye is quite capable of handling cases, otherwise he wouldn't have been promoted to Chief Inspector and secured his position as the leader of the second subgroup of Group B."

"He was promoted to senior inspector earlier than Huang Sir. They were both team leaders. Later, Huang Sir made many contributions."

"Of course, this is not the most important thing."

"The most important thing is that Wong Sir knew how to look up and see the road ahead. He was appreciated by Chief Superintendent Leung, and with his merits, he rose steadily from then on. In just a few years, he was promoted to the position of the actual leader of the West Kowloon O-Ji."

When Lin Guoping said this, he looked at Li Yan with envy. They are all people who know how to be officials!

Li Yan frowned, obviously blaming Lin Guoping for digressing. Lin Guoping quickly said, "Zhang Tingye is impulsive and has a bad temper. He easily offends people."

"He often borrows money from everyone and never pays it back. He is not very popular in the group. Everyone obeys him because he is the superior."

"Although he still has the ability to handle cases, he is very effective in cracking down on gangsters. He solves several cases every year, and last year he even caught an internal police officer who was in collusion with a gang."

"But he doesn't have any strong backers. He has fought hard to get to where he is today. He was promoted to Chief Inspector only last year, while Mr. Huang, who was promoted at the same time, is now a Senior Superintendent. So he is not convinced."

"He often complained to his subordinates about Huang Sir's flattery and fawning, which is why he got promoted so quickly."

Li Yan was very clear about Lin Guoping's subtext: if Huang Sir is not convinced, he will definitely not be convinced by you. It is basically impossible to conquer him.

Li Yan asked: "Does he have other income?"

"Probably not, otherwise he wouldn't have asked his colleagues in the group to borrow money." Lin Guoping understood what Li Yan meant very well. He wanted to ask whether Zhang Tingye was greedy for money, so he explained.

After Lin Guoping's detailed introduction, Li Yan roughly understood what kind of person the other party was, a person who only knew how to solve cases and did not understand the rules of officialdom.

Such people can only get by in the middle and lower levels and cannot adapt to the high-level positions of power.

Because what the top leaders play is power politics, or political wisdom, which is completely different from what the lower levels do and they are not the same concept.

In the words of the teacher, it is a game of 'making more friends and fewer enemies'.

In Li Yan's understanding, there is no such thing as making more good guys better and fewer bad guys better, which once again shows that in the eyes of the upper class.

Good guys and bad guys are just the product of the simple and straightforward worldview of lower-level people.

The top management is not divided like this
Therefore, if one still hasn’t figured it out by the time he reaches the inspector level, then being promoted to chief inspector is the top, and it will be impossible to go any higher.

On the contrary, this level is also a kind of experience, with big waves and sand.

It is an evolution from a simple worldview of good guys and bad guys at a low level to a complex worldview of our own people and enemies at a high level.

All will be completed at this level, and it is obvious that Huang Sir has completed his transformation.

Li Yan himself has also transformed!

However, Zhang Tingye showed signs of being unable to adapt and was unable to acclimate to the local climate. Even after becoming the Chief Inspector, he had not yet completely transformed and it could even be said that he was still not smart.

So it is basically certain that his political career has come to an end.

No matter how many cases you solve, it's impossible to go up any further.

Because your superiors have discovered that you not only do not know how to keep in harmony with others, but also hate evil and cannot tolerate any injustice, and they have promoted you. Isn't that asking for trouble?

Either you have offended someone or you just can't stand your superior's behavior?
Sooner or later, it will come to naught!

Your superiors spend resources to promote you because they want you to be a helper, not a trouble.

Since you are only good at solving cases, it's just right for you to stay down there. There are no cases for you to solve up there anyway.

Zhang Tingye’s usefulness at this level is only at this level.

Huang Zhicheng probably tolerated him to stay in his current position for this reason. Li Yan knew that with Huang's ability and skills, there was actually a way to get rid of him.

But he didn't. Instead, he treated Zhang Tingye as a workhorse who pulled the mill for him for a while.

Now that Lao Huang has been promoted, he is of no use to Lao Huang because Lao Huang already has Li Yan.

Zhang Tingye had limited potential and was not only not worth keeping, but there were already substitutes, so he was abandoned by Huang Zhicheng.

Now it's thrown to Li Yan, it depends on what Li Yan thinks.

If Li Yan thinks it is useful, he will continue to work for him. If he thinks it is useless, he will kick it out.

Anyway, he is not young anymore, he is over 40 years old, so he can go to a less busy department like the General Affairs Department to spend a few years to retire.
Li Yan shook his head secretly. After learning the details, he felt quite sympathetic towards the other party.

"By the way, you just said he borrowed money. Why did he borrow money?" Lin Guoping said disdainfully: "He has two children, one is married, and the other is studying abroad. The family expenses are relatively high."

"In addition, I watched Mr. Huang get promoted over the years, while I couldn't get promoted despite my hard work in solving cases. I guess I was under a lot of pressure and got into the gambling habit. At first, I just sold lottery tickets and bet on horses."

"Later I heard that he often hangs out in some underground casinos."

"It is said that he owes a lot of money outside, so he is looking for colleagues to borrow money."

"But ordinary police officers only get so little money a month, how can they lend him money? Besides, the money from the gambling dens is all usury, a bottomless pit that can never be repaid."

When Li Yan heard this, a thought flashed through his mind and he frowned and thought for a while.

He looked up at Lin Guoping and asked casually, "Xiao Lin, do you think that Lao Zhang's loan debt will cause a stir in the police station?"

Lin Guoping was stunned, then looked at Li Yan. He saw Li Yan picked up the tea, blew away the foam, and didn't even look at him.

After a little thought, Lin Guoping seemed to understand something. After hesitating for a while, he made up his mind.

Find wealth in danger!
He gritted his teeth and whispered, "Don't worry, Li Sir, I will report him tomorrow and expose all his crimes. I guarantee that he will be punished."

Upon hearing this, Li Yan looked at the other party with satisfaction. As expected, he did have a ruthless spirit.

You have to know that reports made under pseudonyms generally won't be checked by the higher authorities, only real names. It will be difficult for Lin Guoping to survive in the police force in the future.

But he still did what he wanted without hesitation, which showed that he was determined to follow him and was betting his future on him.

He is a ruthless person, but his vision is too narrow.

We are following Qi Ting's path. It may be effective in the short term, but it also has huge hidden dangers and the future is unpredictable!

Li Yan patted the other person's shoulder to show his approval.

This move immediately touched Lin Guoping. He straightened his chest, stood up straight, and looked at Li Yan eagerly.

But Li Yan slowly shook his head and said, "You don't have to do it yourself. It will be difficult for you to get along in the police force in the future."

"Don't we have creditors? Just let them come forward and make some noise."

"Don't worry about the rest."

Hearing this, Lin Guoping couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, put down the burden in his heart, and looked at Li Yan with gratitude.

I felt even more awe towards Li Yan in my heart!
Sure enough, these young people in high positions are not easy to deal with. It is unwise for Zhang Sir to offend them!
He was secretly glad that he had chosen a good backer. This Li Sir was definitely not a simple person.

Kill someone with a borrowed knife.
Those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters and will use any means to achieve their goals. Their future will not be limited to being a deputy team leader!
With a full sense of happiness, Lin Guoping left Li Yan's home in Repulse Bay with Li Yan's encouragement.

When he walked out of the door, he saw a few familiar colleagues hanging around outside Li Yan's villa. He sighed, didn't say hello, and left.

On the weekend, Li Yan, wearing a formal suit, followed Li Xiner to the old house of Li Cunwang, the ancestor of the Li family, halfway up the mountain.

Originally, Li Xin'er wanted Li Yan to wear the chief inspector's uniform so that he would look more majestic.

Li Yan couldn't help but sneer and laughed at Li Xin'er for having a poor mentality and having never seen the world, which made Li Xin'er angry.

As Chief Inspector, I can only be considered an insignificant middle-level manager in the West Kowloon Police Station.

Above them are Assistant Commissioner of Police Liang Feihu, Chief Superintendent of Police Deputy Commissioner CIB Yin Jianqiang, and Senior Superintendent of Police Deputy Commissioner Wong Chi-kin.

There is also the newly appointed Senior Superintendent of Police, Deputy Commissioner Wong Chi-shing, as well as a large number of superintendents, heads of departments, and senior chief inspectors.

I am a newly appointed Chief Inspector, a lowly official. What a shit!

I have no right to speak. I am at the core decision-making level, and I need to share the pressure with the upper level. When an expanded meeting is held, I have the right to attend and know the details.

It's really not presentable!

Only in front of those gangsters, he was considered to be majestic and had some face. But in front of Hong Kong's wealthy families like the Li family, he was no different from an ordinary police officer.

If he really wore a police uniform, he would be laughed at. By lowering his status, he would become a security guard of the Li family.

Li Yan would never forget that during the great changes in the past, the former vice president of the Republic of China who was temporarily elected was fooled by the bald man and was humiliated.

They clearly discussed with you in advance that everyone will wear the same clothing on the day of the ceremony.

What do you keep saying? We are all military men. In this dangerous time, we naturally have to wear military uniforms to boost the morale of the people and show our determination to defend. It is best for everyone to wear uniforms.

As a result, you changed your mind the next day and dressed in plain clothes, turning the vice president into a bodyguard.

With the lessons learned from the past, how could I make the same mistake again?

If the Li family was an ordinary family, it goes without saying that Li Yan would wear the chief inspector's uniform to show off;
But for the wealthy Hong Kong family with a net worth of tens of billions, the uniform of the Chief Inspector can only make them look guilty and be looked down upon.

Just like that, amid Li Xiner's dissatisfaction, the two came to the Li family's old house located halfway up the mountain.

When Li Yan appeared at Gu's house in a slim-fitting suit, the ancestor of the Li family, old man Li Cunwang, nodded knowingly, obviously satisfied with Li Yan's vision and wisdom.

He is a knowledgeable person.
Li Yan originally thought that everyone in the Li family would come to the old house to see the new son-in-law today.

Who knew that he still underestimated the other party.

Only the three sons of the Li family showed up at home. Not to mention the third generation, even the second generation wives did not show up.

Li Cunwang's other two daughters and Li Xiner's two aunts were not present.

Li Yan knew that this was Mr. Li's way of expressing his respect for him, but he was afraid that the younger generations would be present, chattering and making a lot of noise, and speaking without restraint.

Li Yan also felt that there were too many strangers and he was uncomfortable.

Just this one action shows off one's skills!
Li Yan appreciated this feeling.
