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

Chapter 242 Li Yaoguang's Test
When Li Yan walked into the hall, he saw Li Cunwang sitting in the main seat, with the three sons of the Li family sitting on both sides, following the old-fashioned etiquette.

In today's era, there are not many people who understand this?
Li Yan had never seen the eldest and second sons of the Li family. Only the old Taishan Li Yaozu, with whom he had met once but parted on bad terms, was sitting in the lower seat, looking at him with an unhappy expression.

It's like watching a pig eating its own cabbage.
Old Mr. Li, his eldest son Li Yaoguang, and his second son Li Yaozong all looked at him with kindness on their faces.

Li Yan hurriedly took two steps forward, bowed slightly to Li Cunwang, and said, "Junior Li Yan greets Master Li."

"I wish Mr. Li good health and a long life!"

Li Cunwang was wearing a formal Tang suit, his silver hair was neatly combed behind his head, his snow-white eyebrows were long and straight, and his bright eyes revealed an invisible aura.

The majestic face now looked amiable and amiable. He looked at Li Yan kindly, sized him up, and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad young man, very energetic."

"I heard that Xin'er had a boyfriend, so I asked her to bring him home early in the morning, but she kept refusing."

"You hid it from me, but you're not a child anymore. Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. What's there to be shy about?"

Li Yan was secretly complaining in his heart when he saw that the old man had completely pushed him away, as if he was not the one who had strongly opposed him before.

However, at this time Li Yan naturally had to take the initiative to disclose this unpleasant experience.

"Don't blame me, Mr. Li. This is not Xin'er's fault. It's mainly because my previous job was special and I had some unspeakable problems. That's why Xin'er suffered so much."

“It all comes down to it.”

"The reason is still my fault. I was unable to come and see you earlier. Please forgive me, Mr. Li."

Seeing that Li Yan was neither humble nor arrogant, and was very polite, and took all the previous unpleasantness on himself with just one sentence, everyone in the Li family nodded in satisfaction.

Old Master Li was even more surprised at Li Yan's calmness and magnanimity. The other people sitting nearby could not see it, but the old man sitting in the middle facing Li Yan did not reveal a single detail from beginning to end.

Especially on Li Yan's face, there was no fear and flattery that most young people saw when they saw him, nor did Li Yan have the arrogance and conceit that most young people of this age group generally have.

His eyes have been as calm as water and without ripples since he entered the door.

He only maintained basic respect and politeness towards me, with a hint of admiration.

His expression was just right, and the words he chose were just right for his identity: neither a guest nor a family member.

The distance between their words and actions was just right.

In all his life experience, Li Cunwang could not find a more suitable state than Li Yan's performance at this moment.

What's more, Li Yan is now a chief inspector in the police force. It's rare for him to be so young and hold a high position without being arrogant or noisy!
Among the talented people of the younger generation, only a handful can reach this level.

However, those people either had the surname Li, Huo, or Bao. They had prominent family backgrounds, were full of confidence, and had received the best education and upbringing since childhood.

As for Li Yan, it was said that he came from an ordinary landlord family.

According to the information, he graduated from university in 91 and was admitted to the Police Academy. In just five years, he was promoted to the position of Chief Inspector of West Kowloon, all thanks to his own hard work.

How rare!
Mr. Huo has a grandson who seems to be working in the district police station in the Hong Kong Island Region. He is about the same age and has just become a senior inspector, one level lower than Li Yan.

The more Li Cunwang looked at him, the happier he became. In the eyes of Grandpa Li, Li Yan was now like his grandson-in-law and an outstanding descendant of his family.

Suddenly I felt uncomfortable listening to Li Yan calling him "Mr. Li" left and right.

So he pretended to be unhappy and said, "Look at you, you are going to marry Xin'er soon, but you still call me Mr. Li. How strange."

"It seems that you still blame grandpa for not letting you come home earlier?"

Li Yan looked at the old man opposite with eyes full of joy, and he knew that he had passed this level.

For Li Xiner's sake, he didn't care about his previous dislike.

With a smile on his face, he changed the address and said, "Grandpa, what are you talking about? Previously, because of work reasons, Li Yan wanted to get into the society and mingle with them. His behavior was quite indecent."

"Although these are all unavoidable and not Li Yan's own will."

"But what he did was indeed unkind. A grandfather is concerned about his granddaughter's lifelong happiness, so it's only natural for him to be unwilling to do something. There's nothing wrong with that."

"Grandpa obviously has the ability, but he never privately 'persuaded' Li Yan, nor did he find someone to 'pressure' Li Yan to make him give up."

"Li Yan knew that Grandpa acted uprightly, had an upright style, was honest and generous, and made Li Yan secretly admire him."

Li Cunwang saw that Li Yan had become respectful and sincere at the end of his speech, which showed that his words came from the bottom of his heart.

What is rare is this insight into the big picture from the small details.

At this point, Li Yaozu, who was sitting in the hall, blushed, feeling a little unnatural, and coughed twice in embarrassment.

If no one knew, I would have thought that this kid was mocking me.

Because Li Yaozu had suggested finding someone to deal with Li Yan, but was scolded by Li Cunwang and rejected!

Li Cunwang was also glad that he had not had time to take action.

Otherwise, not only would he ruin the reputation of the Li family, but he would also be in trouble both inside and outside.
Of course, my plan is to persuade him first, give him some money, and then put pressure on him if that doesn't work. The old man's approach is more cautious.

But while he was still preparing for the work, news came that Li Yan was an undercover police agent.

After learning about the situation, Li Cunwang thought that Li Xin'er and Li Yan had a deep relationship, especially that Li Yan gave the villa worth 100 million yuan to Li Xin'er.

This made Li Cunwang particularly satisfied, because according to the investigation, at that time, Li Yan did not know Li Xiner's family background.

It can be seen that the two are true love.

One hundred million is nothing to the Li family, but what Li Cunwang values ​​is Li Yan's ability to make money and his courage to make it back even if he spends all his money.

Being able to make money shows that Li Yan is not that kind of pedantic policeman;
The fact that Li Yan can spend huge amounts of money without frowning shows that he is not a slave to money, but the master of money.

Being an undercover agent can protect oneself, and it will not affect promotion. In the end, one can get out of this unscathed and enter the West Kowloon Regional Police Station with dignity. According to Mr. Li's investigation, Li Yan holds real power in the police station, and he has a backer above and a background behind him. It can be said that he has a bright future!

This all shows how outstanding Li Yan is. No wonder Xin'er is so devoted to him and is determined to marry him.

After meeting him today, he is indeed a rare talent, outstanding among the crowd. He has lived up to Mr. Li's expectations and is far better than I had imagined!

It was worth Li Cunwang’s deliberate and careful examination and testing today.

Li Cunwang was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Come, let me introduce it to you."

"This is your eldest uncle, and this is your second uncle. You haven't met them yet. It's a good opportunity for us to get together as a family and get to know each other."

Only then did Li Yan turn around and greet Li Yaoguang and Li Yaozong.

Li Yaoguang has big ears and a strong official air. Wherever he sits, he exudes an aura of majesty without even getting angry.

Li Yaoguang and Li Yaozong looked at each other, then saw the old man standing next to Li Yan, and shook their heads with a wry smile. They had originally agreed to give Li Yan a warning.

We will discuss whether to accept him later.

I didn't expect that the man was so satisfied. In his joy, he forgot the previous instructions and agreed to it on his own.

Now he was pulling Li Yan in front of them to pay his respects, and he was standing aside, looking at them hungrily, as if he was going to fight with them immediately if they said something strange.

Li Yaoguang has been in the officialdom since he was a child. Thanks to the support of the Li family, he has been smooth sailing in the officialdom. He is now the deputy director of the Economic Policy Research Office of the Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong government, and can be said to be in a high position of power.

Li Yan was a chief inspector, so naturally Li Yaoguang didn't take him seriously.

But Li Yaoguang also valued Li Yan's ability and magnanimity. Today's meeting took place entirely under Li Yaoguang's eyes.

With many years of experience in politics, Li Yaoguang has seen many things that others have not seen.

It can be said that this young man's performance made me look at him with new eyes.

It's much better than I expected.

If the third son's daughter had not gotten there first, even if he had come across such a good candidate, he would have pulled him to be his son-in-law.

Looking at the silly third brother, he sighed and said, "Fools have their own luck, everyone has their own destiny!"
Forget it
No matter what, as long as it ends up in my Li family, that's fine.

Li Yaoguang smiled and greeted him: "Li Yan is indeed good, Xin'er is a good girl, I am looking forward to drinking in your wedding wine."

"Well, you work at the West Kowloon Police Station, right?"

Li Yan quickly said, "Uncle, I work for the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau of West Kowloon."

Li Yaoguang smiled and said, "A few days ago, I went to the Grand Governor's Mansion for a meeting and met your Director Xu. We chatted for a while and he even said he wanted to treat me to a meal."

"Next time we meet, I'll call you over, get to know you, and ask him to look after you?"

The Director Xu that Li Yaoguang mentioned is none other than the boss of the boss of Li Yan, the top man in the Police Department, the Chinese Commissioner of Police Xu Dingan. This man took office two years ago and will serve until at least 2,000 years from now.

Li Yan's eyes flashed with a trace of solemnity. After thinking for a while, he said politely: "Thank you for your appreciation, uncle. Li Yanming is grateful."

"I'll be honest with you, uncle. My situation is a little special. You know, although I've been a police officer for five or six years, I've always been working undercover."

"I am not familiar with the actual situation within the police force. Now that I have just returned to the police force, I am learning about the operation and structure of the police force every day, and building good relationships with my colleagues in the police force."

"So Li Yan still wants to work hard for a while to make up for his shortcomings, and then think about other things."

Although Li Yaoguang was rejected, he did not feel embarrassed. Instead, his eyes lit up and he looked at Li Yan with admiration.

This guy is not simple, he is unfathomable!

However, was it because they were not familiar with each other and had self-awareness and wanted to leave a good impression on the Li family; or was it because they realized his intention in an instant?

He is only in his twenties and has only been in the police force for five years. He is still struggling in society. How could he have such a far-sighted vision? It is unlikely to be the latter, right?

Li Yaoguang was very interested and was about to continue testing.

Old Master Li Cunwang was a little impatient and glared at his eldest son: "Okay, today is Li Yan's first time back home, and we'll be family from now on. The second and third sons are waiting, so we can talk about your work later."

Li Yaoguang shut up after hearing that and sat back in his chair with a wry smile.

Li Yan knew clearly in his mind that Li Yaoguang seemed to appreciate him and wanted to create opportunities for him, but he was actually testing him.

Li Yan's current situation is very special, and it is not suitable for him to be promoted in the short term, otherwise it would be like forcing things to happen too fast and would ruin his foundation.

As Li Yan himself said, although he is now a chief inspector, he has almost never been in the police force. Li Yan is very lacking in the connections and experience that a chief inspector should have, as well as the understanding of the police force.

He has the title of Inspector General, but not the reality.

But he can be said to be the weakest Chief Inspector in the entire Hong Kong Police Force. Zhang Tingye is much better than himself in this respect.

What Li Yan needs to do most now is to proceed step by step, work hard to lay a solid foundation, and make up for this shortcoming.

If he is promoted again, it will ruin Li Yan.

This is one of them.

Secondly, Li Yan came from a grassroots background and had his own way of growth, and he took each step very steadily.

In order to buy himself some time, Li Yan established two big trees, Liang Feihu and Huang Zhicheng, for himself, which were enough to solve the problem of his backing.

If you want to get promoted, you don’t need to ask others for help.

At the same time, he was also on the same side as Liang Feihu, and above him was Deputy Director Gao of the Police Department.
