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

Chapter 380: Interests First in the Power Field
Feeling the seriousness of the elder brother, even though they were separated by the phone, Li Yan immediately sat up straight and said in a decisive and clear voice: "Yes, Director."

"Don't worry, Director. Your words give me more confidence. If I can't solve the case, I will take off my clothes without you telling me to do so. I will give an explanation to the millions of Hong Kong Island citizens."

Xu Dingan raised his eyebrows, a light flashed in his eyes, and then he squinted his eyelids slightly and nodded in appreciation: "Well, since you already have a solution, just do it according to your ideas. I'm waiting for the good news of your victory."

After hesitating for a while, Xu Dingan said, "If you encounter any difficulties, you can call me directly."

"Okay, Chief, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Li Yan fell silent for a long time and began to think about the call.

His position as the number one boss meant that no matter what he did, nothing would be redundant. Even if it was nonsense, it was worth the people below to think about it.

Just now on the phone, Li Yan almost told everyone about Liang Feihu's trouble and sued him, but he stopped abruptly when he was about to say it.

The eldest brother has been through many battles and has seen and experienced everything in the power field. Gao Jianbin's plan did not escape the eldest brother's eyes.

Why did Li Yan and Shen Cheng conceal their true intentions and sneak into Chencang? Wasn't it because someone in the police force was causing trouble? Were they on guard against their own people?

Can't I understand...

You don't have to think about what little tricks will be done next. You can tell that Liang Feihu will touch the edge but will not get too deep. This is also within a reasonable range.

It's war!
It's always a fight between you and me. What's the point of a war if you don't take action? Just sit and wait for the thunder to kill the two Yuans? But there was no victory.

If I took the opportunity to complain, it would only make Brother Yi feel that I was too narrow-minded and not neutral enough. If that happened, I would lose the opportunity to speak.

At present, his relationship with the Gao faction, the Shen faction, and even the Big Brother is ambiguous, neither too close nor too far. This is in line with his own interests, and the Big Brother is also satisfied.

Although the eldest brother appointed me to the position of Internal Affairs Department, he did not try to win me over too much, which means he wanted me to maintain a neutral position.

Because the Internal Affairs Section is an internal disciplinary department, if its stance is biased and it personally participates in the game, it will definitely lose objectivity and cause a greater disaster.

If that happens, I will definitely take back the position.

This is also the reason why Li Yan kept dragging his feet at the beginning, without solving the case or getting to the end.

Let Dilu hang in there and wait for the situation to develop. Only when he has a clear understanding of the overall situation can he make his move.

This is the only way to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
There must be a limit to helping Shen Cheng. In the field of power, interests are always the top priority and one cannot be too personal. The only time Shen Cheng could really help Li Yan was after he became the director.

As for the case at hand, as long as he solved it, no matter who it was, he would get the title of Chief Superintendent.

What Li Yan needs to do is to maximize his benefits as much as possible, rather than completely side with Shen Cheng, as that would make him become his pawn, which would be very disadvantageous.

Even if he offended Gao Jianbin and Liang Feihu, it didn't mean he had to lean towards Shen Cheng.

At present, he does not have enough benefits to give to Li Yan. Even if Li Yan wants to join him, he has to wait for a critical moment, such as when there is an important promotion in his position.

The current head of the Police Department is still Xu Dingan, and he is the one who can make the decision.

It is safest to rely on the number one brother, rather than betting on who will win between Gao Jianbin and Shen Cheng?
The attitude of the eldest brother in this case is actually very important. If he doesn't speak, the people below will keep watching and waiting for the eldest brother's statement.

Li Yan waited for a call from his brother and made his attitude clear, hoping to solve the case. Now Li Yan felt relieved and could move forward boldly. In his answer just now, Li Yan also implicitly expressed this point.

It was obvious that Brother Yi understood what Li Yan meant and expressed his appreciation.

The last sentence, "If you encounter any difficulties, you can call me directly!", is the greatest affirmation and praise for Li Yan.

Everyone in the entire police department, including mid-level and above police officers, knows the phone number of the Big Brother, including his personal phone number.

But apart from the two deputy directors and the senior assistant directors, no one would dare to attack them easily unless they were the boss's confidants.

Not to mention the low-level police officers below!

Unless you encounter something as drastic as the sky falling down, basically you have nothing to report to Big Brother.

In the power field, one level controls another level, and no one dares to easily cross the rules. The strict system of superiors and subordinates is fully reflected in the officialdom, and this is the terrible power. Therefore, the recognition of the eldest brother did not involve superficial promises of official titles, such as what Liang Feihu did to Zhu Hongxuan, promising that if he could solve the case, Li Yan would get a certain position or title.

Even Shen Cheng was so unpretentious that when he saw Li Yan at the West Kowloon Police Station, he hinted vaguely that he would help Li Yan get a promotion.

The boss has long since escaped from the realm of low-level power operation techniques and reached the level of momentum. He can express his attitude with just a few words.

Before saying that, Yige hesitated for a moment, and it was obvious that he had considered it seriously and did not just speak casually on impulse.

Li Yan felt that this was a recognition by Yi Ge of his true attitude and position on this case. Facing Yi Ge's order, Li Yan issued a military order without hesitation, which explained a lot of problems.

First, Li Yan was confident that he could solve the case, otherwise he would not have promised in front of the boss. If he could not do it, he would be ruining his future by talking nonsense.
Second, Li Yan's position remained neutral. He did not side with Shen Cheng, otherwise he would have helped him solve the case long ago. He also did not side with Gao Jianbin, otherwise Shen Cheng would have been played to death.
Third, Li Yan cares more about the attitude of the eldest brother. If you let me solve the case, I will solve it beautifully. If you don’t give the order, I will continue to drag it out and make a mess.

What the result will be depends on your words.

Brother Yi understood what Li Yan meant and was very satisfied with Li Yan's cleverness and wisdom. Therefore, he gave Li Yan the privilege of calling Brother Yi directly.

In ancient times, this would be like a golden order, which allowed one to enter and exit the palace at any time to meet the emperor and report secrets. This was the supreme honor!
This means that Li Yan is one of the few people who can call the eldest brother directly, and from now on, it can be said that Jian is in the emperor's heart.

This is more important than being promoted three levels in a row. The trust and appreciation of the boss are not so easy to give, but there are countless people holding high-level positions.

The ability to gain the respect of the top leader is often the most important ability in the power field, no doubt about it.

Li Yan figured it all out, looked at Huo Qiqiang who was drowsy beside him, frowned and said: "What are you doing? Why don't you drive?"

"Brother-in-law, you have been thinking for an hour. I almost fell asleep. Seeing that you were lost in thought, I didn't dare to disturb you, so I had to watch over you. And you still blame me." Seeing that Li Yan had come to his senses, Huo Qiqiang calmly started the engine and started the car.

Li Yan looked at his watch: "Has it been so long? Don't you think so?"

Huo Qiqiang was also amazed in his heart. How did Li Yan manage to call his brother-in-law personally?
Moreover, Yi Ge fought for less than five minutes, while Li Yan sat motionless and thinking for an hour. This was a scene that Huo Qiqiang had never seen before.

It can be seen how much information Li Yan processed in his mind within just one hour. No matter how troublesome the matter was, Li Yan could think it through while talking and laughing.

This time it took so long, and it was obvious that Li Yan did not notice the passage of time in the outside world. After hanging up the phone, he kept the same posture for a whole hour without moving.

Huo Qiqiang saw this with his own eyes; it happened right under his nose.

When will I be able to reach this level?
Huo Qiqiang sighed. Using your brain is so damn tiring.
"Where are you going, brother-in-law?"

"Where else can we go? We are both retired and have free time. Deputy Director Shen will be in charge of the next scene. It has nothing to do with us."

Li Yan stretched lazily, rubbed his sore waist, and said, "Let's play golf in the afternoon and go out to sea tomorrow?"

“Waiting for the situation to change”

Speaking of playing, Huo Qiqiang perked up and said with a smile, "Okay! Call my cousin and my wife, and let's go and have fun for a few days!"

Two years ago, not long after the return to China, under the auspices of Mr. Ho, Ho married the granddaughter of the Guo family, a prominent Hong Kong family, who had returned from studying abroad.

The other party is five or six years younger than Huo Qiqiang. They have been getting along well after two years of marriage. I heard that she is pregnant recently. She stays at home all day and rarely shows up.

However, the weather has been good in recent days, with bright sunshine and gentle breezes. Mrs. Guo also complained about being stuck at home all day, so taking this opportunity, Huo Qiqiang suggested that they take their wives to relax and unwind.

After all, this time is different from last time. Last time I was so nervous that I couldn’t concentrate. This time, I feel at ease and can have fun with peace of mind.

Li Yan and Huo Qiqiang were at their wits' end again. Shen Cheng seemed a little frustrated in this situation. He said to the task force: "I don't believe that without Li Yan and Huo Qiqiang, I, Shen Cheng, a deputy commissioner of the police department, can't solve the case?"

Then he took Zhu Hongxuan and several other middle-level managers of the task force to Dongying Digital Technology, where Li Kai was located.

Shen Cheng went there personally and naturally met Li Kaize.

Li Kaize personally led the company's senior management to greet Shen Cheng and expressed a warm welcome, but acted in a businesslike manner, then took Shen Cheng to visit his company and finally treated him to a banquet. But every time Shen Cheng brought up the case, Li Kaize avoided the topic and showed his unwillingness to bring up the case.

In the end, Shen Cheng had no choice but to leave Li Kaize's company with a cold face, accompanied by a group of members of the special task force.
