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

Chapter 247 Unless You Invite the Grand Commander

After Zhang Tingdong left, Li Yan returned to his seat and thought about the matter carefully. He also felt that this matter was done better and more appropriately than previously expected.

At this moment, Li Yan's turbid mind seemed to be cleansed, becoming clearer, cleaner and more vibrant.

An inexplicable joy filled my chest
Not only is there no moral shackles in one's conscience, but from a practical point of view, subduing Zhang Tingdong is far better than simply kicking him out.

Not only did we gain a capable person, but we also won the hearts of a large number of people in Group B.

To be honest, if it comes to solving the case based on one's own abilities, Li Yan may not be able to beat Zhang Tingdong.

With him around, he could save himself a lot of worries and focus on being a good undercover agent, then on scheming, and finally on making money.

Should we use the little remaining energy to solve the case?

wrong,
To be used on Li Xiner and the Li family.

There is no budget left for the work, so should we hand it all over to Zhang Tingdong?
Not long after Zhang Tingdong left, Huang Zhicheng came over and was about to ask Li Yan what happened today.

When you have any ideas and plans.
After learning that Li Yan had subdued Zhang Tingdong, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. It was simply unbelievable!

Everything that happened today happened right under Huang Zhicheng's nose. Huang Zhicheng didn't think that Li Yan's plea or a few nice words would be enough to convince this stubborn guy.

Huang Zhicheng has known Zhang Tingdong very well about his toughness and bad temper after spending several years with him.

It’s not that I haven’t thought about conquering him, but several attempts have ended in failure.

And what virtue and ability does Li Yan have? Just by being a bad guy, pretending to be a good guy, pleading a few words, having a heart-to-heart talk afterwards, and pretending to be open-hearted to win over this stubborn donkey, can he convince this stubborn donkey?
impossible
It was such an obvious good cop and bad cop job to win people's hearts. Zhang Tingdong was already old and a veteran in the police force, how could he not see it?

I've been with him for a few years and we've had some fun together.

The trick of having a heart-to-heart talk is not new. I have tried it myself, both hard and soft, more than once.

Can he be fooled by you?

But Zhang Tingdong just gave in and was willing to serve a young boy like Li Yan. Why?

Huang Zhicheng was filled with resentment. How was he inferior to this kid? They had been fighting openly and secretly for five or six years, but this stubborn donkey had never bowed to him.

Now, in less than two months, he has already surrendered to Li Yan.

Huang Zhicheng felt that the world was too unfriendly to him, full of malice, and too partial to Li Yan.

Looking at Li Yan's smug look, Huang Zhicheng really wanted to pull Zhang Tingdong in to take a good look at this boy's ugly face.

Tell him that he is blind and has chosen the wrong person.

This boy is not a good person!
After the two bickered for a while, Li Yan straightened his face and said, "Mr. Huang, I'm getting married next month. I'll invite you to the wedding. You must come and show up!"

Huang Zhicheng looked at Li Yan in surprise: "Alright, boy, you covered it up pretty well."

"It's only revealed when we're about to get married."

"I haven't heard you talk about this before. Who is this girl from? Is she pretty?"

Li Yan smiled and said, "Come to think of it, I have to thank you. You are the matchmaker, right?"

"Matchmaker?"

Huang Zhicheng was startled, his mind started working rapidly, thinking quickly about girls of the same age who could have connections with both him and Li Yan?
"Could it be?"

In recent years, the two had very few opportunities to meet, and it was even more impossible for a third person to be present.

Huang Zhicheng thought of a girl he had never met. Li Yan had been hanging around with her for a while, staying there for a long time in the name of medical treatment, and even didn't want to leave.

At that time, I was thinking that the psychologist's voice sounded very sweet, and she was not very old. She must be very beautiful, otherwise how could Li Yan stay so obediently.

Now that I think about it, this is the most likely possibility.

Didn’t you introduce it yourself?
Li Yan smiled and said, "Yes, it is Dr. Li from Chengxin Mental Disease Treatment Center."

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you, Mr. Huang. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to meet Xin'er again."

"again?"

"So, you knew each other before?" Huang Zhicheng asked puzzledly.

Li Yan then told Huang Zhicheng his story about an experience in the police academy when he had to save a beautiful girl.

Huang Zhicheng then remembered that five years ago, it was because of this case that he forced Li Yan to go undercover in the Ni family.

Thinking of this, Huang Zhicheng couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

Smiled awkwardly
Looking at Li Yan's happy face immersed in memories, as if he didn't care too much about what happened in the past, he felt relieved.

With a smile on his face, he said tactfully, "This is truly a fate that brings people together. This shows that you and Dr. Li are destined to be together. Congratulations."

"You are not young anymore, it is time to start a family. Only when you get married can you be considered a real man, and only then can you go higher and further in the police force in the future."

Li Yan naturally understood this truth. People with families give people a more stable impression!
I thought of one thing and felt quite hesitant and undecided.

So he asked tentatively: "Mr. Huang, you are knowledgeable and have rich life experience. There is something I have been hesitating about, so I would like to ask for your help and advice." Huang Zhicheng looked at Li Yan in astonishment. This kid has always been opinionated and his ideas are so firm that he couldn't handle them. He couldn't help but feel curious.

I felt very comfortable hearing Li Yan's compliment at this time!
It's really strange. There are countless people flattering me in the police force, but I don't feel much. Only when I am flattered by Li Yan does Huang Zhicheng feel particularly happy.

After thinking about it, maybe it was because Li Yan and I had always been equal, even though I was in a higher position. But a senior superintendent who was nearly fifty years old didn't seem to have any sense of superiority in front of a 28-year-old chief inspector, right?
Even in terms of IQ, EQ, and the ability to deal with complex situations, Huang Zhicheng had to admit that Li Yan was better than him.

Therefore, Li Yan does not need to rely on flattery to please himself. Only in this way can Li Yan's recognition and praise be sincere and make Huang Zhicheng happier.

"What's the matter? Tell me about it."

Huang Zhicheng looked at Li Yan, who was hesitant and conflicted, with great interest and asked curiously.

"Mr. Huang, there are only two or three people in the police station that I am most familiar with. The first one, the one I have the best relationship with, is of course you. You have always been very caring towards me, and I have always regarded you as my elder in my heart."

"Even if I don't invite anyone else to my wedding, I must ask you to condescend to be my guest. Otherwise, I would rather not hold it."

Li Yan's words made Huang Zhicheng very happy. He smiled brightly and couldn't hold back the smile on his face.

The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were wrinkled and his eyes were narrowed into a line.

He nodded with satisfaction, and the look he gave Li Yan was more friendly.

"The second one is Director Liang. Because of your relationship, he knows a lot about me, and he is grateful for my promotion this time. What do you think? Should I send him an invitation for my wedding?" After Li Yan finished speaking, he looked at the other party inquiringly.

Huang Zhicheng frowned after listening to this, thought for a while, and said hesitantly: "In theory, we should invite him, but Director Liang is now the Assistant Commissioner of Police, he is in a high position and has great power, and his eyes are also on the upper level."

"Based on your relationship, it seems..."

Huang Zhicheng's words were hesitant, and Li Yan naturally understood what Huang Zhicheng meant. In front of Director Liang, he was just a small soldier, not even a superintendent.

When I sent the note to Director Liang, I felt like I didn't know the seriousness of the matter and how immature I was.

Li Yan understood this logic very well. If he were alone, he would not even have to think about it and would definitely not bring humiliation upon himself.

But the situation is different now. Although he is of low status and has little influence, his father-in-law's family is powerful. He is the youngest son of Mr. Li Cunwang, and this family has such a precious daughter.

It will definitely be a grand event, and by then, perhaps people from the Huo family, Li Chaoren family, gambling king He family, as well as the Bao family, the Zheng family, the Guo family and other famous families in Hong Kong will all be present.

These big families emerged in the 1950s and 1960s. They have complex relationships with each other and are connected by blood after decades of intermarriage.

A huge force has long been formed in which you are in me and I am in you.

For example, Li Xiner's younger sister married into the Huo family, and the Li family also married the daughter of the Guo family; the Huo family had a daughter who married into the Bao family, and also married the daughter of the Zheng family.

There are countless such things!

Even though Li Yaozong is of no use in the Li family, he is still the legitimate son of the Li family. If not for him, then for the family's face and status, a grand ceremony must be held to celebrate his death.

Otherwise, the outside world would not think that Li Yaozong is a waste, but would only think that the Li family is in trouble, so they are so low-key.

This is also a way to consolidate one's own power and demonstrate strength. Li Yan is very clear about this.

Of course, there will be conflicts among the aristocratic families, but in matters like this, even if there is hatred, they will give face and support each other.

Hong Kong Island is not big, but there are many international forces. These local families also have to be sentimental about their hometown. Even if there are many conflicts among themselves, they must unite in the face of external pressure.

Besides, one's own children also need to start a family. If one is too fussy about this, one will be violating the established unspoken rules and will be looked down upon.

When my children get married, I will not have the face to ask others for help.

So, they will definitely be there, but if the relationship is not good, they will make some small changes to the details.

For example, the Li family!
If the other party has a wedding, and the one with the best relationship, the most important relationship, and the highest status, Mr. Li Cunwang will be there in person;

The eldest son, Li Yaoguang, who is important but not so close, will represent the Li family;

The second son, Li Yaozong, who is of average relationship and importance, will be present;

The one who has bad relations and grudges is the most useless playboy. Li Yaozu is here.
The relationship is average and not important, but if it can be involved, let the third generation of grandchildren take action, just show some intention.
There is a lot of knowledge involved, and the silk man cannot mess it up, so the smarter and more experienced ones only need to look at the status of the guests in their respective families when a family holds a wedding, and you can know whether the relationship between these families has deepened, become more distant, or even become hostile.
Only outsiders who don't know much about the business would evaluate the reputation and strength of a family based on whether or not members of that family come.

Therefore, Li Yan thought that since so many aristocratic families had arrived, there must be senior officials from the Police Department present as well.

Just based on a few simple conversations with Uncle Li that day, Li Yan knew that Brother Xu from the Police Department would definitely appear at the ceremony that day.

Firstly, it can dampen Li Yan's enthusiasm; secondly, doesn't Li Yaoguang, the deputy director of the Economic Policy Research Office of the Financial Secretary, have any face?
If you don’t know, you might think you can’t invite Brother Xu?

If I hadn't invited Director Liang, after the incident, Director Liang would have found out through other channels and would have inevitably felt that I was ignorant and didn't even give face to my superior.

Li Yan was sure that if Director Liang knew the whole story, he would definitely go, and he might even take Gao Erge with him.

By then, he would have some face in front of Li Yaoguang.

According to the proportion of age, background and status, you, a deputy director, invited Brother Xu.

I am a chief inspector in my twenties from a grassroots background, and I moved in with my second brother Gao.

Is there any need to say who has more face?
I believe that Li Yaoguang would not have the nerve to think that he won. Does he have the nerve to do so?
You invited someone of the same rank, what's so great about that? According to Li Yan's approach, you have to invite the Grand Commander to show your respect.
Thinking of this, Li Yan gave Huang Zhicheng a detailed introduction to Li Xiner's family, the subtleties involved, and the possible scenarios that might happen that day.
