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

Chapter 309: The Ministry of Internal Affairs is equivalent to the Royal Guard

In the officialdom, everyone knows how tiring it is for subordinates to be respectful, cautious, and careful when meeting their superiors.
I feel really uncomfortable.
Of course, as for when you meet your subordinates at the police passage, whether you feel comfortable or tired, that is your business. Anyway, I am the one being praised, so I naturally won't feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, no matter how loud the noise was among the ordinary police officers, the director's building was always quiet. An aura of power was everywhere, and even the cleaning lady who came here was very cautious and didn't dare to breathe.

In fact, it is true no matter where you are, as long as the sanitation is kept clean, the lawn is neatly trimmed, the parking spaces are never full and are mostly empty, the glass is so transparent that there are no fingerprints, and the hall and the corridors are spotless and quiet.

You should know that you have entered the high-pressure area of ​​power.
Li Yan lamented that even in a compact place like Hong Kong Island where every inch of land is valuable, senior executives can still enjoy a relaxed living and working environment.

The tension only exists for ordinary lower-class citizens. It does not exist for the rich and powerful.
Li Yan sighed comfortably. Huang Zhicheng, who was sitting opposite him on the sofa, understood Li Yan's current mood and joked, "How is it? Is this atmosphere still good?"

"Hahaha, don't tell me, I was almost suffocated in my previous small office. Now this kind of environment is called high-level!"

Huang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Come on, you are lucky. You have only been here for half a year and you are already here."

"You know I've been sitting in an office as small as yours for five years!"

Li Yan picked up the Kung Fu tea set on the table and poured it slowly. Both of them are successful now, and they feel a little sad when they think of the low-level charge a few years ago.

"You are now in charge of the serious crime team. I used to manage this area reluctantly on behalf of Liang Feihu. Now that it is assigned to you, I feel relieved. Don't say that I don't take care of you. You can pick anyone you like in Team B and find some helpers. Otherwise, with your personality, I'm afraid you will be busy."

Li Yan nodded. "Both Zhang Tingye and Huo Qiqiang have been transferred here. They are both superintendents, so they can help me manage the A and B departments of the Serious Crime Squad. I have also been in charge of Team C in Tsim Sha Tsui. When the time comes, I will find someone capable, and the team will be ready."

"It's just that there won't be any problems with you transferring so many people at once, right?"

Huang Zhicheng smiled and said, "I was already overwhelmed by the two departments before. Now that I have been assigned such a large part, I feel much more relaxed. I am very familiar with the affairs of the Organising Committee, so there is no problem."

"Before, the three of you helped me manage the Organized Crime and Triads. Now that you have become the serious crime squad, I can focus on the Organized Crime and Triads. There is not much difference."

'Jingle Bell'

When Li Yan was about to speak, the phone on the table rang.

After apologizing, Li Yan walked over to pick up the phone, answered it a few times, and then said to Huang Zhicheng, "Director Yin asked me to come over for something. Please sit down first, I'll go over and take a look."

"You go ahead and do your work. I'm going back across the street. We'll talk again when we have time." Huang Zhicheng picked up the coffee he brought with him and walked away leisurely.

Li Yan came to the fifth floor, Director Yin Zhiqiang's office, and knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

A steady, heavy and slightly majestic voice was heard.

Li Yan pushed the door open and walked in. When Yin Zhiqiang saw Li Yan, he quickly put down the documents in his hand, stood up, and greeted him warmly.

He led Li Yan to the guest sofa area on the side, personally made a cup of tea, handed it to Li Yan, and then placed a cup of coffee in front of himself.

Li Yan smiled slightly when he saw this. Now the senior executives in the office basically knew that he liked to drink tea but not coffee.

So, no matter where you go, what is placed in front of you is tea.

This can be considered a kind gesture. After all, people have gone out of their way to understand your preferences and take your taste into consideration.

Moreover, sitting down on the sofa indicated that today's matter was both public and private, at least not so formal. Li Yan also relaxed on the surface with a faint smile on his face, but he was nervous in his heart.

Anyone who understands office culture knows that when dealing with superiors, business is actually not that important. It is a public errand and whether it is done well or not, and what the outcome is, it will not be a big problem.

Private matters are the officer's own business and are very important, so they cannot be neglected at all.

Yin Zhiqiang had a great psychological advantage when facing Li Yan. Although the other party was also a deputy commissioner, he was not the deputy commissioner of chief superintendent of police, and Li Yan was so young, more than 20 years younger than himself.

When he was the deputy commissioner, the other party was a small inspector in a lower division, working undercover in Tsim Sha Tsui.

I didn't even know there was such a person. I didn't expect that in just half a year, this person would emerge out of nowhere and be appointed as the Chief Inspector of West Kowloon. However, he used to be in the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau of Liang Feihu and Huang Zhicheng. He was very low-key in his behavior and work, and I never had much dealings with him.

Before this official feast, by luck, the Ni San case was solved, which not only saved Liang Feihu's power and life, but also greatly expanded Liang Feihu's faction, and almost everyone gained huge benefits.

Relying on his strong background and achievements, this young man suddenly became the Deputy Director of West Kowloon, and was now on the same level as himself.

This made Yin Zhiqiang extremely curious about Li Yan, but what really attracted Yin Zhiqiang's attention was not Li Yan's rank of senior superintendent, nor the honorable position of deputy director, nor the real power of the serious crime team.

Instead, it is a position in the Ministry of Internal Affairs which is held by the head of the Police Department.

Yin Zhiqiang was able to take the position of Director General after Liang Feihu, so he was naturally no ordinary person. He knew very well that the various departments of the Hong Kong government were in chaos because a large number of foreigners had withdrawn, and everyone was scrambling for advantageous positions. In addition, the government was relaxed and indulged the subordinates, which made the situation chaotic. This situation would not last long. After a smooth handover, the bigwigs in the north would not allow the various departments of the Hong Kong government to continue to be in chaos.

The top leaders of the Hong Kong government will inevitably introduce effective measures to correct and change this chaos.

As the head of the West Kowloon Region, one of the core areas of the six major regions of the Police Force, Yin Zhiqiang is also a high-ranking official and can naturally see this.

So when Li Yan's position as the head of the internal affairs section appeared, Yin Zhiqiang's heart skipped a beat, knowing that the big brother had taken action, and this must be paving the way for action in the near future.

He is directly under the Ministry of Home Affairs. Although the Home Affairs Section of the West Kowloon Region is nominally under his jurisdiction, it actually has independent case-handling powers and is directly responsible to the Ministry of Home Affairs.

It feels a bit like the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei
Therefore, based on this point, Yin Zhiqiang cannot simply treat Li Yan as his subordinate. To some extent, Li Yan is more important than the other two deputy commissioners at the chief superintendent level.

Li Yan and Huang Zhicheng were obviously Liang Feihu's followers who stayed behind to hinder him. If Yin Zhiqiang's guess was correct, Huang Zhicheng would most likely be the next Director General of West Kowloon, who was strongly recommended by Gao Jianbin and Liang Feihu.

Therefore, generally speaking, his best course of action would be to join forces with another senior police chief, Huang Zhijian, to suppress Huang Zhicheng and Li Yan and maintain his authority as the top leader.

There is nothing much to say. This is not only a matter of face, but also involves the issue of maintaining one's own power.

This was not a difficult task in the eyes of Yin Zhiqiang, a veteran in officialdom. Li Yan was promoted too quickly and his foundation was unstable, which was the weak link of this alliance.

He used all the fighting skills he had accumulated in the officialdom over the past thirty years, and with the cooperation of Huang Zhijian, he wanted to make him make a mistake.

Then seize the opportunity and hit it hard twice to give it a huge setback.

Although he is the son-in-law of the wealthy Li family, but at this level, the Li family background is of no help. No matter how capable the Li family is, they cannot blatantly interfere in the game among the top police officers, right?
As long as he is not beaten to death with one blow, but given a disciplinary punishment, demoted by two levels, and sent to a sub-district police station to be trained slowly, and given a little leeway, the Li family should be thankful for showing mercy.

Anyway, he is still young and with the support of the Li family, he can make a comeback in the future.

By that time, maybe I would have retired long ago and wouldn't have to worry about anything?

However, Li Yan's identity as an internal affairs officer made Yin Zhiqiang feel fearful. He secretly speculated on the intentions of his superiors. What did Brother Yi mean by this?

Could it be that Li Yan is Gao Jianbin and Liang Feihu's man on the surface, but is actually Yi Ge's hidden man?

The boss has absolute authority in the police department and the resources at his disposal are beyond your imagination. It is not a problem for him to win over anyone he wants.

No matter who the person is online, as long as Brother Yi takes a fancy to him, he can immediately become his own!

If that were the case, if he rashly joined forces with Huang Zhijian to attack Li Yan, he would probably anger Big Brother and disrupt his plans.

Thinking of this, Yin Zhiqiang did not act rashly, but decided to talk to Li Yan first. It was not necessary to go that far.

If Li Yan could side with me, that would be the best; even if he couldn't, it would also be good if he could remain kind to me and get along peacefully with me; if he insisted on following Liang Feihu and the others with Huang Zhicheng to go against me, then I had no choice but to give it a try!

I have people in the upper echelons, and I am not necessarily afraid of them.
But considering the eldest brother, this is very tricky!

But if Li Yan is really the boss's man, he probably won't be so determined to lean on Liang Feihu.

So Yin Zhiqiang pretended to entertain a friend to test Li Yan.

"Li Yan, are you familiar with the work of the serious crime team? Is there any difficulty that you need my help with?"

Yin Zhiqiang's attitude was kind and friendly, which made Li Yan feel flattered.

Although he didn't know what Yin Zhiqiang wanted to do, Li Yan knew one thing: when your superiors wanted to do you a favor, you'd better go along with it and not refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit.

Immediately, Li Yan thought for a moment and began to complain: "Director, if you hadn't told me, I would have been embarrassed to speak up. I'm in a lot of trouble right now, aren't I?"

Yin Zhiqiang was stunned, and then a happy expression appeared on his face!

Alright
Being willing to make requests is a good thing, but I am afraid that you will keep people at a distance and act distant.

"Oh, tell me, what difficulties do you have? As long as I can help, I will do my best."

Afterwards, Li Yan expressed his idea of ​​transferring two people from the Organized Crime and Triad Society to help him. Yin Zhiqiang agreed without hesitation.

Anyway, they are not your own people, so you should be generous to others and do them a favor.
