Lu Guohua was entertaining guests over there, and after hearing that Lu Qichang and Li Wenbin were coming, he specially rushed to the table of the two to thank them.

"I didn't expect the two chiefs to come, it's really tormenting me." Lu Guohua picked up the wine glass and said with emotion.

Lu Qichang smiled and raised his glass, "Uncle Hua is a senior in the police force, and today is your fiftieth birthday, so we will be happy to come." ”

Several other people also raised their glasses and congratulated Lu Guohua on his promotion.

Lu Guohua knew in his heart what kind of predecessor of the police force.

There are so many seniors in the police force, why are there so many big SIRs to congratulate him on his birthday.

It's not for Qin Yi's sake yet.

The lively Manchu and Han buildings were full, people came and went, and everyone was full of spring breeze, greeting Lu Guohua enthusiastically.

Lu Guohua looked at this scene with some emotion, who would have thought that ten years ago he was just a senior police officer in uniform patrolling the streets, and with his qualifications, he would be promoted to sergeant retirement at most.

The gap between police officers and police officers is a chasm that is difficult to bridge, and ordinary police officers are basically unable to cross without academic qualifications and the appreciation of their superiors.

But Lu Guohua didn't expect that since a robbery ten years ago, his career has begun to be smooth.

He started as a Probationary Inspector and was promoted to Chief Inspector this year.

Being able to reach this police rank, Lu Guohua feels that he has no regrets in his career.

He has applied for transfer to the general affairs department, and the rest is to wait for five years to retire directly.

After sighing for a while, Lu Guohua once again devoted himself to tedious entertainment.

At the beginning of the banquet at noon, Qin Yicai breathed a sigh of relief and squeezed into the seat next to Li Wenbin.

"I'm starving, so many people came today, I almost didn't sit down."

"Why don't you hold a birthday banquet in Manhan Tower today, don't you go to the hotel?" Li Wenbin asked casually.

"It's too ostentatious over there, and there are a lot of reporters staring at it, and someone will sue Lian Ji when it is exposed." Qin Yi snorted, "Besides, my Qi Ye doesn't like to be so high-profile, compared to the royal kitchen over there, the dishes in Manhanlou are still delicious." ”

"What's the difference?" Li Wenbin was a little curious, "Aren't they all cooks from Manhan Building?" ”

"It's style, and it's not really here to eat." Qin Yi smiled, and didn't say much about the rest.

This thing is just like a luxury product, any piece of garbage labeled as a luxury can be sold for a sky-high price, and the rich are still flocking to it.

While eating vegetables, Lu Qichang said in a low voice: "Have you heard?" ”

Li Wenbin nodded, with a solemn expression, "I heard about it." ”

Qin Yi was a little confused, can the Riddler get out of Hong Kong Island.

What have you heard of?

What about the two of you putting aside this serious code?

"What are you two doing?" Qin Yi frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "Are you plotting to rebel behind my back?" ”

Li Wenbin smiled, "Sir Gao is going to retire next year, haven't you heard about this?" ”

"Didn't you say there were two more years? Why will you return next year? Qin Yi was a little surprised.

"Gao Sir said that he was not in good health and wanted to retire early." Lu Qichang spread his hands, "Brother Yi doesn't want to do it himself, and no one can stop him." ”

"Now it's up to Sir Zeng and Chief Ye to take the position." Li Wenbin smiled, "This is a hot topic in the police force right now. ”

"So who's more popular now?" Qin Yi asked.

"In terms of connections, the two sides are evenly matched, and it depends on who the top prefers." Li Wenbin suddenly looked at Qin Yi curiously, "Ah Yi, if it's you, who do you support?" ”

Lu Qichang didn't speak, and looked at Qin Yi with a playful look in his eyes.

"I'm not the chief executive, I support a fart." Qin Yi sneered, "But Sir Zeng is from a management background, you said that if he is in power, how will he manage the police force?" ”

Li Wenbin was stunned when he heard this, and frowned, "Then what do you think Sir Zeng will do?" ”

"He was appointed from above, and he only needs to be responsible for the above, what does the above want to see? Of course, it depends on the results? Qin Yi sneered, "Do those heads know how to solve cases?" Of course they don't understand, and they don't care how many cases the police force has solved, guess what they want to see? ”

"What do you want to see?" Li Wenbin asked curiously.

"Of course, you have to look at the report, as long as the data is good, that is their political performance, and they care about what to do underneath." Qin Yi smiled slightly, "This is what I do best in the office, and I will definitely do data after I go up." ”

"He can't intervene in the crime solving rate, and the crime rate is not his responsibility, do you think he will make a fuss about the budget?"

Li Wenbin's face changed, "He won't be cutting the budget of the police force, right?" ”

"There is a word in enterprise management called reducing costs and increasing laughter, that is, while reducing costs, we must also improve efficiency and do more with less money." Qin Yi glanced at Li Wenbin, "Streamlining reforms, KPI assessments, cutting unnecessary expenses, as long as the accounts are done beautifully, the above must like it." ”

"What kind of plane is this?" Li Wenbin frowned, "How can there be such a good thing to let the horses run and not give the horses grazing." ”

"Let these things give the top a headache, eat vegetables and eat vegetables, the vegetables of Manhanlou raise people, eat more." Qin Yi looked indifferent, picked up the wine glass and began to persuade him to drink.

……

Central, a restaurant.

At this time, there were no customers in the restaurant, Qin Yi walked through the boxes decorated with solid wood and came to the innermost door.

Through the glass, only one person sat at the dining table.

Qin Yi pushed open the door and walked in, greeting with a smile, "Sir Liu." ”

Liu Jiehui stood up with a smile, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Qin Yi, "Sir Qin, I'm glad that you can come to the appointment, please take a seat." ”

"I heard that Sir Liu rarely treats guests, I can't help but appreciate you if you invite me." Qin Yi sat directly opposite Liu Jiehui, "What to eat today, Chinese food or Western food." ”

"You decide." Liu Jiehui stretched out his hand and made an invitation, "There are steaks here, and there are also Teochew dishes." ”

"Wow, this restaurant is really good at doing business, a combination of East and West." Qin Yi flipped through the menu, "Then Chaozhou cuisine." ”

"Then the host is as he pleases, and Qin Sir will order."

"Sir Liu, you are so generous." Qin Yi closed the menu and looked at Liu Jiehui, "I don't dare to order this dish if I have nothing to do." ”

"Sir Qin misunderstood, I invited you to the appointment today, I don't mean anything else." Liu Jiehui said sincerely, "I just want to make friends with Qin sir." ”

"Oh?!" Qin Yi smiled, "Do I seem to be a very difficult person to get along with?" Why do you have to invite me to dinner alone when you make a friend? ”

"That's because it's not easy to make friends with Qin sir." Liu Jiehui looked at Qin Yi meaningfully.

"I don't look at anything else when I make friends, from uniformed police officers to a brother, as long as I can talk, I can be regarded as friends." Qin Yi laughed, "Sir Liu has no problem if he wants to make friends, as the saying goes, there are many friends and many roads, although I can't talk about making friends, I also like to make more friends." ”

"I really want to be friends with Qin sir." Liu Jiehui said with a serious face, "It's not the kind of nodding friend, a superficial friend." ”

"People are social animals, and making friends is a spiritual need and a mutual help." Qin Yi said lightly, "Sir Liu is purely spiritual, or does he want to help each other." ”

"Both." Liu Jiehui looked at Qin Yi with a smile, "If Qin sir needs my help, I will help on the premise of not violating the principles." ”

"On the other hand, if Sir Liu has any difficulties, you also want to ask me for help?" Qin Yi asked rhetorically, "Really?" ”

"Aren't friends supposed to help each other?" Liu Jiehui replied very cleverly.

Qin Yi laughed, "That's good." ”

Liu Jiehui suddenly changed the topic, "Qin sir is known as the rising star of the police force, and after graduating from the police academy, he has repeatedly solved strange cases, and many major cases that shook Hong Kong Island were solved by Qin sir. ”

"The media calls Qin sir a legend of the police force, and the senior management of the police force is also very optimistic about you, focusing on training."

"Mr. Qin Sir has been promoted from an ordinary uniformed police officer to Sergeant, Probationary Inspector, Chief Inspector, and finally to becoming the youngest superintendent of the Force, and the promotion speed is the fastest since the establishment of the Hong Kong Island Police Force."

"Of course, this is inseparable from Qin sir's outstanding ability, and I really admire Qin sir's ability to solve cases."

Qin Yi nodded, and said expressionlessly, "Don't dare to be it, it's all the achievements made by the commanders who command properly, the brothers who work hard, and everyone who is sincere and united." ”

"I have a question that I am very curious about, after 97, after Qin Sir was promoted to superintendent, he applied for transfer to the Security Division." Liu Jiehui stared at Qin Yi tightly, "Qin sir has not made a move since he was in the security department, and there has been no movement for so many years. ”

Qin Yi smiled faintly, "The Security Department is the most confidential department in the police force, our cases are special, many of them cannot be announced to the public, and it is normal for Sir Liu to have no news from me." ”

"Besides, to achieve the level of superintendent, it is already at the level of the constitutional committee, just do a good job of management, you don't need to do everything yourself, right, Sir Liu?"

Liu Jiehui also laughed, "Qin Sir has excellent ability, he is the best talent in the police force, it's a pity to be only a superintendent, your future is more than that." ”

"Whatever position I sit in is arranged from above, and besides, I am not yet thirty years old, as long as I work hard, I will rise sooner or later." Qin Yi showed a look of pampering and not being surprised.

"Of course, I believe that with your ability Sir Qin, promotion is a matter of time." Liu Jiehui smiled slightly, "But if this speed can be faster, it will be a perfect thing for the police force and individuals to let someone as good as Qin Sir get to the right position." ”

Qin Yi snorted and asked rhetorically, "What?" Sir Liu can help me get promoted? ”

"Sir Qin misunderstood, I mean that Sir Qin should go to a position that is more suitable for him and contribute to the police force." Liu Jiehui smiled meaningfully, "This is a little advice from me as a friend. ”

Qin Yi sneered a few times, and suddenly asked, "Then what about the price?" ”

"Making friends shouldn't be so utilitarian."

"Really?" Qin Yi replied expressionlessly, "I don't believe it. ”

"Ugh." Liu Jiehui sighed, "Help between friends is due, I'm not making a deal with you, I want to make friends with you." ”

What are you fooling you with?

What does it mean to repeatedly emphasize that friends should help each other?

Isn't it just you helping me and I'll help you?

You help me get promoted, and I'll help you get promoted.

But who do you think you are?

Do I need your help for my Qin Yi's promotion?

"I don't like to owe favors, it's hard to repay debts." Qin Yi stood up, "Thank you sir Liu for the invitation, I actually feel quite comfortable in the security department, everyone talks nicely, it's like going home, I like it there." ”

"Qin sir." Liu Jiehui suddenly stopped Qin Yi, "I heard that something went wrong with Qin Sir yesterday, and the arrest was not very smooth?" ”

Qin Yi stopped and glanced at Liu Jiehui coldly.

Liu Jiehui was a little creepy by Qin Yi's cold eyes, but he quickly calmed down.

"The affairs of the security department have always been the top secret of the police force." Qin Yi said coldly, "Sir Liu, you are not from the Security Section, these things are beyond your authority, you are violating the internal regulations of the police force." ”

"Sir Qin, you misunderstood." Liu Jiehui said with a smile, "I didn't deliberately spy on the secrets of the security department, I happened to know about it yesterday." ”

"Mr. Shen, whom Qin sir was going to arrest yesterday, has actually arrived, but he temporarily answered the phone and left, and there was an informant from the police force present at that time who witnessed the whole process."

"Oh, really?" Qin Yi said lightly, "How do you know that he is the person I want to arrest." ”

Liu Jiehui explained seriously: "I was checking a local community organization recently, and the boss of that community was supposed to go last night, but because Mr. Shen received that call, he didn't go for some reason. ”

Qin Yi glanced at Liu Jiehui, "Do you think our security department doesn't know?" That call was made by our security department, and there will be less inquiries about the security department in the future. ”

After speaking, Qin Yi pushed open the door of the box and walked out unhurriedly.

Liu Jiehui ripped off the napkin around his neck with some irritability, and threw it on the table casually, his face gloomy.

Qin Yi had expected that he would not be able to deal with him, but today's meeting was like this, which still made him depressed.

At this time, the door of the box was pushed open, and a handsome middle-aged man walked in and greeted him warmly: "Sir Liu, are you alone?" ”

"Director Lu." Liu Jiehui suddenly smiled when he saw the person coming, and got up to greet him, "I'm waiting for you here, congratulations to Director Lu." ”

"What a director, I'm still the deputy director." The other party waved his hand and sat down next to Liu Jiehui.

"Next year, you will officially succeed the director, congratulations in advance, Director Lu Minghua." Liu Jiehui enthusiastically poured a glass of wine for Lu Minghua.

Mr Luk was the future Director of Immigration on Hong Kong Island, and the Immigration Department, along with the Police, the Fire Service, the Customs and Excise Department, and the Correctional Services Department, were all disciplined forces under the Security Bureau.

However, the position of Director of Immigration is different from that of other disciplined services.

What's the difference?

From '97 onwards, the first Secretary for Security was promoted to the rank of Director of Immigration.

The next Secretary for Security next year will also be the incumbent Director of Immigration.

Luk Ming-wah took over the post of Commissioner and has a high chance of joining the Security Bureau in the future.

Liu Jiehui naturally likes to make friends with such potential people, and soon the two of them met with wine glasses.

……

Qin Yi stood on the rooftop of the opposite floor, watching every move in the box, looking at Liu Jiehui's spring breeze, he suddenly laughed.

I took out the phone from my pocket and found a phone number that I hadn't dialed in a long time.

"Brother Shapi, come back and do something!"
