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

Chapter 294: First Confrontation at the Decision-Making Meeting

At a high-level meeting of the Police Force held this morning, Deputy Commissioner of Operations Ko Kin-pan suddenly proposed a series of personnel adjustments in the Kowloon West Region without informing him in advance. This is simply outrageous.

This was a complete surprise attack.
Although the personnel aspect was previously under your charge.

But after all, you have been transferred to manage operations, and now the organization and personnel are under your jurisdiction. You can't get rid of the intention of despising you no matter what.

Thinking that Gao Jianbin seemed to be polite, but the contempt and indifference in his eyes still made Shen Cheng furious: "Deputy Director Shen, please don't misunderstand."

"These personnel adjustments are not aimed at you?"

"It was already decided before you came, but it was not formally decided at the directors' meeting. Besides, you just came and you don't know anything about the situation. This is just a local personnel adjustment in a general district, and it's not a big deal."

"Besides, now that we're at the meeting, aren't we already asking for your opinion?"

Xu Dingan, the police officer who was sitting in the main position, nodded slightly. It was unclear whether he heard it or agreed. His true attitude could not be seen on his face.

Seeing that his brother didn't say anything, Shen Cheng flipped through the list and said indignantly: "Deputy Director Gao, today we were supposed to discuss the issue of Hong Kong Island's various units holding a return banquet, but you suddenly came up with such a series of promotion lists."

"A senior assistant commissioner, a chief superintendent, and a senior superintendent. Two superintendents, all of whom hold senior positions and work in the same headquarters in West Kowloon. As the deputy commissioner in charge of personnel, I don't know what these people are like, and I've never even heard of them. How can you expect me to express my opinion?"

There were a total of seven people at the meeting, including a commissioner, two deputy commissioners, and four senior assistant commissioners. Together, they formed the highest decision-making body of the Police Department.

One of the senior assistant commissioners used his connections and, through some manipulation, had himself transferred from the Police Department to the Home Affairs Department of the Chief Administrative Department, and Liang Feihu was to take over his position.

Therefore, he is no longer interested in the current personnel adjustments in the Police Force, and seems to be indifferent and indifferent to it, while others are very concerned about this personnel adjustment.

Although the senior assistant director does not have the decision-making power here, the department always has to discuss and reach a consensus before reporting it. Generally speaking, the higher-ups will approve it.

The decision-making power for the other three superintendent-level positions lies in the hands of these people!

Among these people, two senior assistant directors used to follow the foreigner Henry, but half a year ago, they had quietly defected to the Big Brother, and another one was transferred last month, and his position is unclear.

So the final candidate was basically Gao Jianbin, and Brother Xu Yi also agreed.

After all, Gao Jianbin fully supported himself in this change, which enabled him to successfully take over the real power of the Police Department from the foreigner Henry in advance and gain recognition from his superiors.

Whether for the sake of power balance or for the sake of merit, this candidate must be given to Gao Jianbin.

Otherwise, as the second-in-command of the Police Department, I would be too weak and would not be able to explain myself to my superiors.

As for Shen Cheng, there's nothing we can do. It's your fault for coming too late. The cake has all been divided.

I can only make up for it in other aspects. It is impossible for me to give the remaining spot to Shen Cheng instead of Gao Jianbin.

Whether from an emotional or seniority perspective, or in terms of power balance, we have to focus on Brother Gao first. You, Brother Shen, will have to endure the grievances.

This is also for your own good. Otherwise, Gao Jianbin will probably keep a close eye on you and fight you to the death.

This is not what Brother Xu wants to see, nor is it what the higher-ups want to see.

Although Shen Cheng was angry, he was still rational. He did not reject it impulsively, but just could not explain the situation clearly, which made Brother Xu Yi nodded secretly.

It seems that he is not a reckless person.
Don't judge by appearances, but by appearances. Shen Cheng had just arrived and had no foundation. Director Chen of the Hong Kong Rehabilitation Office even gave him a special greeting and asked him to take care of him.

Gao Jianbin had reported his proposal today to me in advance.

Lao Gao's meaning was very clear. He wanted to give the new deputy director a warning, to let him know whose territory this was and what to do in the future.

Brother Xu thought about it and nodded in agreement!
But he still has to grasp the degree himself. Gao Jianbin is his vanguard general who only knows how to charge and fight, but he still has to control the overall situation himself.

That is, we need to intimidate the new deputy director, but at the same time, we should not overdo it.

Otherwise, the superiors would accuse me of bullying the newcomer, especially since this person represents the North, and I would not be able to explain myself.

This is really too much. The higher-ups are interfering forcefully and even I am in trouble.

Gao Jianbin only knows how to fight for power in this small circle and fails to see the overall situation. As the head of the Police Department, he cannot be like this.

After all, these two people are his deputies, and he has to strike a good balance between them instead of helping one of them completely defeat the other.

Therefore, Brother Yi knew that he had to support Shen Cheng at this time, because he was too weak.
He turned to Gao Jianbin and said, "Old Gao, what Old Shen said makes sense. So, explain the details again so that Old Shen can understand."

When the eldest brother spoke, Gao Jianbin put away his aggressive attitude and nodded respectfully: "Yes, Director."

Gao Jianbin cheered up and recounted the West Kowloon case in detail from beginning to end, which took him a full twenty minutes. The others were all locals and knew something about it, but they also listened.

This courtesy was for the new Deputy Director Shen. Shen Cheng also knew it. His expression lightened up a little and he nodded in agreement to Yi Ge, indicating that he felt his kindness towards him.

But after Gao Jianbin explained the whole story, Shen Cheng became even more annoyed.

After all, this Ni San is the remnant of the Ni family in Tsim Sha Tsui. He should have been arrested and sent to prison during the last Ni Yongxiao case.

But because of your neglect, this official has escaped.

It is your duty to arrest him, but you are useless people. You allowed him to go unpunished and had the audacity to retaliate against the police. You have committed major crimes repeatedly and disturbed the peace of the two regions in Hong Kong Island.

Now that the Third Uncle has been killed, it is something that an undercover agent can do alone, but a series of people are rewarded for their meritorious service. Not to mention Liang Feihu's case, the decision-making power lies with the Grand Marshal's Office.

In addition, a senior inspector was promoted to superintendent and a chief inspector was promoted to senior superintendent, both of which were promotions of two levels in a row.

There was also a Senior Superintendent named Huang Zhicheng who was promoted to Chief Superintendent. Whether Shen Cheng was listening to Gao Jianbin's introduction or reading the report in his hand, he could not tell what the hell this fellow surnamed Huang had contributed to this case.
Just for being a bystander, he was promoted to a higher rank.

This is simply unreasonable?
Since when did the positions in the Police Department become so worthless that anyone can get a promotion just by going out for a walk?
Liang Feihu's report was obviously false at first glance. As an assistant director and director general, he personally led people to encircle and suppress a smuggler, and the fight lasted the entire night.

There was only one dead body in total, but he was so shameless as to hold a press conference and talk about how many contributions he had made. If you don’t know, you would think he saved the entire Hong Kong Island?

Such a big fuss was nothing more than a prelude to his promotion to Senior Assistant Director today.

Shen Cheng, who had been in officialdom for a long time, saw it at a glance!

These people regarded this return as a feast for the locals. This situation occurred frequently not only in the Police Department, but also in the Security Bureau above, and even in various departments.

Shen Cheng mentioned this matter vaguely during a meeting with Director Chen!

Director Chen smiled at Shen Cheng and said that the higher-ups knew about this situation. But the most important thing now was to drive those foreigners away and complete the mission left over from the past century.

Ensuring the smooth return of Hong Kong Island is the most important thing!
After all, Hong Kong locals are descendants of the Yellow Emperor and the mainland, connected by blood, and are all one family. These things are internal conflicts, which can be corrected slowly in the future.

In short, we must consider the overall situation!

Shen Cheng thought for a while and didn't quite understand what Director Chen meant, but as a soldier, he knew he had to obey orders resolutely.

Shen Cheng has been in Hong Kong for many years and is not a newcomer to the officialdom. He knows that these personnel adjustments involve the distribution of interests of some people. It is not for a newcomer like him who has just arrived and is completely clueless to comment. The best way is to agree, follow the crowd, make everyone happy, and don't offend people easily.

Even if you want to speak, you should wait until you are familiar with the situation.

However, I am still furious and disgusted by this blatant practice of falsely reporting achievements.

He did not argue with Gao Jianbin, but turned to look at Brother Xu who was sitting in the main seat, and said with a struggling expression: "Director, what Deputy Director Gao said makes sense, but the decision on Liang Feihu's promotion to Senior Assistant Director is up to him, and I will not comment on it."

"But should we be more cautious about the promotion of Senior Superintendent Wong Chi-shing of West Kowloon Police to Chief Superintendent? As for Li Yan and Huo Qiqiang, they did make great contributions in this case, but whether they can be promoted one level first is enough to reward their contributions."

"."

When Gao Jianbin heard this, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared and his expression became much colder.

This new guy is really ungrateful and stubborn. If you continue like this, then what's the point of holding the meeting?

What discussion to have?

He has made so many contributions, does he still need your approval?
The director is giving you face, so he went through this process. Otherwise, if you look at the scene, seven people, if they voted, six to one, you would be completely defeated.

Do you really think that these important personnel adjustments are completed at the conference table? If they are not discussed privately, all parties are involved, and the exchange of interests is not completed, they will not be brought to the table at all.

Things that can be discussed at the meeting are actually already set in stone. If you make trouble here, you will affect the interests of everyone.

Everyone has completed the exchange, why are you creating trouble?
I have to do it all over again, what a hassle!

Seeing that Xu Yige was in a difficult situation, Gao Jianbin lost his patience and decided to bring the matter to a vote and pass it forcefully to teach him a lesson and let the new deputy director know who has the final say in the Police Department.

"Director, if that's the case, then I suggest."

Before Gao Jianbin could finish his words, Brother Xu Yi interrupted him.
