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

Chapter 291 Li Yan's way to turn the tide

The next day, the sun was shining and the wind was gentle. A medium-sized yacht was anchored on the sea about ten kilometers south of Repulse Bay.

This is shallow sea water, the azure blue water is clear and transparent.

Looking underwater from the yacht, you can see the corals and reefs on the seabed, large areas of seaweed swaying with the waves, and various brightly colored sea fish swimming around.

The slightly fishy and salty sea breeze blows towards you, making you feel relaxed and happy.

The boundless sea makes people feel the vastness and mystery of nature. Under the sunshine, the waves rise and fall slightly, and the waves are shining.

On the sampan near the water at the stern of the yacht, there were two people wearing sun hats and sitting on chairs fishing.

These two people are exactly the two senior police officers of West Kowloon. Today, Li Yan did not call the staff of the Club Department, but drove the boat himself and came here to play with Huang Zhicheng.

Huang Zhicheng completely relaxed when he saw that there was no one else on the scene. As usual, he expressed his envy and jealousy towards Li Yan's yacht and said a lot of weird things.

Take a deep sigh!

Although Li Yan was holding a fishing rod, he knew nothing about it. He was just trying to show off because of his pursuit of this artistic conception. But when it came to fishing, he might not be as professional as Huang Zhicheng, who was a novice.

Half an hour later, Huang Zhicheng caught a grouper that was more than a foot long, and two unknown colorful flatfish, but Li Yan still had nothing.

Just like what Mr. Zheng said, there is not even a hair
Hearing Old Huang's sigh, Li Yan knew that Huang Zhicheng was losing his temper. He smiled and said, "Mr. Huang, don't waste the beautiful scenery today."

"If you have something on your mind, you will waste the beautiful scenery!"

Hearing Li Yan's words, Huang Zhicheng immediately complained: "I don't have the leisure time to do this. Fatty Han played a trick on us this time. The situation will be hard to control in the future."

"Mr. Huang, although the current situation is a mess, we still have to prioritize. Fatty Han's matter is important, but there is no need to rush. At most, he will be another Ni Yongxiao, and at most, he will be on the scale of Ni Kun. It's not like we haven't seen it before, so why are you worried?"

"The most important thing right now is what's happening right before our eyes. This is related to our future. You're just trying to go far away instead of near!"

Li Yan acted like a superior and gave Huang Zhicheng some pointers. Given the relationship between them, it was very rude of Li Yan to say this.

After all, Huang Zhicheng is the immediate superior, two levels higher than Li Yan?
But at this time, neither of them raised any objections. On the contrary, Huang Zhicheng was relieved and started to complain: "Speaking of this case, since Ni San was shot, Director Liang seemed to have forgotten the conditions he mentioned when he asked for help before."

"There's usually no one in the director's building. I went there several times but never saw anyone. He runs to the police department all day long. He only cares about whether he can get a promotion. How can he care about us?"

"However, you and Qiangzi should have no problem getting promoted this time."

Huang Zhicheng said enviously: "You got the news, Qiangzi organized an ambush, plus the backgrounds of the two of you, Liang Feihu will not forget your contribution even if he is greedy."

"Since the press conference, he has not met me alone. It is conceivable that I will not be able to participate in this feast of reshuffle."

In this vast ocean, Huang Zhicheng had no scruples and expressed his anger without restraint.

He stopped calling him Director and just called him by his name, which showed that he was extremely dissatisfied with Liang Feihu for stealing his credit and breaking his promise.

But Li Yan knew that Huang Zhicheng had another meaning, which was to express his position and loyalty to him.

I am yours, not Liang Feihu's!

I understand, Master Li
Of course, Li Yan understood Huang Zhicheng's underlying message, and he also agreed with Huang Zhicheng's pessimistic view of the future.

There is no such thing as keeping one's word in the political arena. So what if I promised you?
Whether it can be fulfilled depends on the subsequent skills and actions.

At that time, Liang Feihu also promised me that he would hand over the West Kowloon Serious Crime Unit to me, which was the position of Senior Superintendent.

But Li Yan never expected Liang Feihu to fulfill his promise, he just wanted a chance to participate in the game.

Huang Zhicheng has it even harder!
Firstly, the head of Third Uncle had to be shared among Huang Zhicheng, Li Yan and Huo Qiqiang, which meant that the credit would be diluted, not to mention the other people who were involved in the specific actions.

Even if those people could be dealt with internally, Liang Feihu's statement to the outside world was clear that he wanted to take credit for this great achievement and help him get promoted to senior assistant director.

If that's the case, how can they still take care of their subordinates?
Li Yan and Huo Qiqiang are fine. They are mid-level police officers. With their strong background and some connections, it is not too difficult for them to be promoted to the next level.

But who is Huang Zhicheng?
He just went on a business trip with us and didn't even fire a gun, which clearly shows that he was the one who was given credit.

He has no background, or rather, his biggest backer is Liang Feihu, so he doesn't bother to pay attention to you.

What's more, Huang Zhicheng is already a senior superintendent, and the next rank he will reach is chief superintendent.

There are only forty chief superintendents in the whole of Hong Kong Island. In the Police Force, they are already considered high-ranking officials. How could it be possible that a mediocre person like you could steal it?

Old Huang is really bold
But Huang Zhicheng also had his own way, which was to surrender.

That’s right, Huang Zhicheng made it clear today that he was joining Li Yan with justification and abandoning his old master Liang Feihu.

Use his loyalty in exchange for Li Yan's help in getting to the top.

This was what Li Yan had hinted to Huang Zhicheng before, maybe they could go a step further. Huang Zhicheng pondered over this sentence for a long time before he figured it out.

It turned out that Li Yan had told him long ago that it was basically impossible to get a promotion by virtue of the merit of killing his third uncle.

But Li Yan found a way to overcome this hurdle and enter the senior ranks of the police force.

There is no such thing as a free lunch. Huang Zhicheng naturally understood that Li Yan was not threatening him, but telling him that it was difficult to get a position as a chief superintendent. It would cost a lot and he had to make choices and sacrifices. When you are at the top, you have to stand in line. Otherwise, why would others invest so much resources in you?

Li Yan was born in a grassroots family and although he had some connections in the Li family, he would have to pay a huge price to use other people's resources to contribute to his own future.

What's more, if I use it on an outsider like me, I will not be able to convince others without a solid reason.

But this opportunity is really rare. If you miss it, you may never come across it again in your life. A large number of positions are vacant this time. It can be said to be the easiest and simplest promotion.

If this doesn't work, it will be even more difficult with countless people competing for one position in the future. Perhaps even Li Yan won't be able to solve the problem.

Since Liang Feihu no longer cares about me, there is no need for me to rely on him. Besides, every time I got promoted, I relied on myself.

The last time Liang Feihu was promoted to assistant director and chief director was because he and Li Yan killed Ni Yongxiao and seized 100 kilograms of laundry detergent.

As the boss, Liang Feihu is really incompetent and has never really helped me.

what?
You said that Liang Feihu let you reinstate your position early because of incitement to murder two years ago.

Depend on.
The assassination of Ni Kun was carried out according to Liang Feihu's idea.

I was doing the dirty work for him, so what's wrong with him saying a few words for myself?
Come to think of it, the help I gave him was much greater than the care he gave me. I really don't know whether I found a supporter or a trouble.

In comparison, his relationship and friendship with Li Yan was much deeper, but there were some psychological barriers in going from a superior to a subordinate.

But Li Yan is not an ordinary person. He will rise to the ninth level sooner or later. It is not shameful to bow to him. If Li Yan had not been low-key, with his ability, he would have gathered a large number of supporters by now.

Besides, he has the background of Li family and Huo family, how can he rely on me?

That is to say, this guy was promoted too quickly, and he didn't have the energy and time to slowly cultivate his confidants, so the people he won over all had higher positions than himself. Otherwise, they would be useless in a short time.

Li Yan once told himself an interesting story. Heshen, the Grand Councilor of the Qing Dynasty, once worshipped the official Wu Shenglan as his teacher when he was young.

Later, after Heshen became successful, his teacher Wu Shenglan turned around and became Heshen's disciple.

This shows that there is no order of learning, and the one who is more accomplished is the teacher.

Huang Zhicheng comforted himself that Li Yan's future was far brighter than his own, and he was more capable than himself in officialdom. He, in turn, recognized Li Yan as his superior, and there was nothing wrong with that!

After all, the ancients did the same thing, so there are precedents to follow.

In official circles, it is not scary to have no ability, what is scary is to have no background and no backing, because sooner or later you will be pulled down by others.

After experiencing the power scene, Huang Zhicheng felt that he could no longer adapt to the life of an ordinary person.

Therefore, after figuring it all out, he made the desperate move today and completely surrendered to Li Yan and became his lackey.

Use your future usefulness to Li Yan in exchange for Li Yan's further advancement, greater power, and more respected glory.

Huang Zhicheng and Li Yan have known each other for six or seven years, and there has never been anything that can stump this guy. No matter how dangerous the situation is, Li Yan can always turn danger into safety, turn disadvantage into advantage, and finally get the greatest benefit.

I believe this time is the same, he will definitely find a way to turn the tide.
Li Yan was waiting for this moment, so he easily captured Huang Zhicheng's intention.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Huang, don't be discouraged!"

"It's not the last minute yet, there's still a chance for everything."

Huang Zhicheng looked helpless: "Anyway, I have no other choice. The rest depends on you. I will listen to you."

"What do you say? What do I do?"

Li Yan smiled meaningfully, took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Huang Zhicheng: "I have thought of a solution for you, it depends on whether you dare to take a chance?"

"what is this?"

Huang Zhicheng quickly threw the fishing rod aside, reached out to take the note, and asked subconsciously.

He lowered his head to take a closer look and exclaimed, "Ten million dollars?"

"hiss"

Huang Zhicheng took a deep breath, and after counting the zeros again and again, he confirmed that it was indeed ten million.

A light check now feels so heavy that I can't even lift it.

Huang Zhicheng had never seen so much money in his life, 10 million US dollars, nearly 80 million Hong Kong dollars, a huge sum of money!

He raised his head, his face full of doubts.

"How do you have so much money?"

Li Yan looked at the sea in the distance, without even frowning, and said lightly: "This is my wife's dowry."
