A week later.

Wan Chai, the entrance of the Yiqun fruit bar.

Jiang Tiansheng set up an incense case, wore a suit, held a glass of liquor in his hand, and said loudly: "Five years ago, the Yiqun fruit bar was opened, and the founder Brother Hao took a group of brothers with great ambitions, and in order to set up the flag, they had to fight every day. ”

"We have to fight in the South Seas, we have to fight on ships, and we have to fight on Hong Kong Island."

"On average, one person is killed every week."

Ten nominal group brothers, dressed in white shirts, holding three incense sticks in their hands, knelt shirtless in front of the incense table.

Citizens who came and went looked at them.

Many people have envy in their eyes.

"Second Master Guan is on top."

Jiang Tiansheng continued: "Five years after the establishment of the Yiqun Society, it has been passed to me, the business is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more brothers, but I am not satisfied! The fortune teller said that I had Tai Chi in eight characters, and the ghosts were frightened, but I was even more shocked. ”

"For?"

"The poor man has a gun!"

He paced in front of the red cloth incense table.

The ten brothers looked wide-eyed at the shrine on the table, which contained an image of Guan Sheng in straw sandals.

"Today, there are my brothers from the Yiqun Society who can take off their straw sandals and wear official boots, I Jiang is naturally very pleased, and in the future, the Yiqun Society will rely on your brothers to support me, and I wish you all smooth sailing in the fire department." Jiang Tiansheng raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp, and then raised it high, looking excited.

Ten brothers stepped forward to insert incense into the copper furnace, bowed to the shrine three times, lined up again, picked up the wine glasses on the table, and drank them all with their heads held high. Among the ten, there are young people in their early twenties, and there are also young children in their sixteen or seventeenth years, and everyone is full of energy and hope.

Since the police force established the order of the rivers and lakes, fewer and fewer sirs will join the club for money.

In the past, it was normal for sirs to go into the club to find someone to support, but now it is the club that asks for sir support.

The Yiqun Society was able to send ten brothers to the fire department, although it was not a police department, but it was still out of the limelight, and the envy of these ten places was naturally snatched by the community, most of them were big boys, and only two were young people who had studied and made contributions to the community.

The remaining one is Ni Zhi, the relationship between Tuotang and Nikun, who first joined the Yiqun Society, and then joined the Fire Department, which can be said to have taken advantage of a wave of east wind, and may become Ni Kun's right-hand man in the future.

"Thank you, Master Ding!"

When the brothers finished drinking, they struggled to smash their cups and shouted in unison.

Jiang Tiansheng replied with a smile: "Just call me Mr. Jiang."

Tai Kwun.

Auditorium.

Inspectors, superintendents, and ballots in their hands entered the gate, found their seats, and waited for the election vote for the new union president. The deputy commissioner of police management and former trade union president Yi Fu voluntarily withdrew from the election, and the two most popular candidates are currently running, one is the senior assistant commissioner of Hong Kong Island, Skeming, and the other is the second-in-command assistant commissioner of Kowloon, Ge Bai.

These two men represent the pro-Chinese and colonial factions, and they are extremely popular in the police union, and normally everything is going well in the police force, and the candidates recommended by the former union president must be popular, but Scamming rarely organizes election campaigns.

Ge Bai often went to the front-line police station to canvass for votes, and the momentum was huge, winning the support of more people.

"John sir."

"Who are you going to vote for?"

In the seat, a senior inspector took the ballot paper and asked in a low voice to his colleague next to him.

The colleague smiled, covered his mouth with his ballot, and stepped forward and said, "Ge Bai sir." ”

"Me too."

The Senior Inspector smiled.

The Force representatives are rotated at random, and each vote is changed by drawing lots, but one vote for every 10 people in each department must be guaranteed. People on Hong Kong Island support Skeming, and people in Kowloon support Ge Bai, which is actually the norm.

As long as the governor is just too bad, the area in charge of the jurisdiction is all iron ticket warehouse.

The number of votes in Tai Kwun is the focus of contention.

However, before the election, Scamming was exposed to be suspected of falsifying accounts, and was almost investigated by the corruption room, although it was later proved that the accounts were wrong ten years ago, but also lost a lot of votes.

Ge Bai and Skeming also attended the voting process, and after all the trade union representatives who participated in the voting arrived, they lined up to walk to the ballot box to put in the real-name votes of one of the two, and cast for half an hour.

Operations Department.

Office of the Chief Superintendent.

He Dingxian sat at the coffee table, raised the teapot, and patrolled the city, poured a row of four teacups, put down the pot and said, "The voting results have come out." ”

"Congratulations."

"Ge Sir."

He Dingxian raised the teacup in front of him.

"Thank you Sir He for your support."

"Thank you."

Ge Bai sat opposite, picked up a cup of tea and nodded and said.

Jian Baoning, Kunxian, and Gordon sat on the side, with smiles on their faces, and raised their glasses of tea to congratulate: "Ge Sir, as the president of the trade union, I will have to worry more about the management of the police force in the future." ”

"Congratulations to Sir Ge on his successful election, the next step is to be promoted to deputy director."

Ge Bai held a cup in both hands, drank the tea carefully, and said modestly: "There is still a lot to learn at work, and I can't be qualified for a higher position, so the commanders give me more advice." ”

He Dingxian saw that the four pro-China chiefs gathered together, and the spring breeze looked proud, and he also smiled in his heart, in fact, the spring breeze was not only them, Yan Xiong was promoted to the superintendent of the Operations Department after the award, becoming the second Chinese police officer to enter the constitutional committee level.

Lei Luo, Jiang Zuhui, Qian Weishan and others were also promoted to Chief Inspector, and Inspector Choi Siu-kwong of Sham Shui Po Wah was not only promoted, but also transferred to the Wan Chai Police Station as an operational commander under Ge Bai.

At present, there are more than 100 Chinese inspectors in the police force, including 30 senior inspectors and two superintendents.

It is obvious that through the continuous efforts of Ho Ting-hsien, the Chinese police officers will become the main force at the constitutional committee level around the 70s, and there will be two extremes in history by hanging a "windmill" and any superintendent can speak loudly to Inspector Zonghua.

And the support of the Xinhua faction ghosts has also paid off, not only continuing to sit in the position of police commissioner, but also getting the power of the chairman of the trade union fund and the president of the trade union. Completely throw the neo-colonials aside and let the colonials become a wage earner.

Ge Bai's promotion to senior assistant director is a sure thing, but the position of director is a turnip and a pit, and it will have to wait for someone to give way in two or three years, and the next political goal is indeed to march towards the deputy director. The pro-China bureaucrats obviously wanted Ge Bai to replace Yifu's position, after all, Ge Bai had served in the management department for a long time and was very suitable to serve as the deputy director of management, but Ge Bai was not sure of He Sir's intentions. Is it in line with Ho Sir's wish for the pro-China faction to manage the Force in an all-round way?

Evening.

Ni Kun drove the big boss to Liyuan East Street, opened the car door and asked the big guy to get out of the car, suddenly took out a handbag in the trunk, handed it to him and said: "Big boss, my third brother has already entered the fire station to work, and he is in the East Tsim Sha Sha Tsui District, he asked me to bring a wife cake to the big boss, a little heart." ”

He Dingxian was about to enter the house for dinner, and when he saw the driver's movements, he was a little surprised, and couldn't help frowning: "Ah Kun, you have been with me for so long, and you still don't know my character?" I'll be unhappy if my own people do this. ”

Ni Kun bent over and said embarrassedly: "It's really just a wife's cake, if the big boss doesn't accept it, I won't dare to ask you for help in the future." ”

"Is it really a wife's cake?"

He Dingxian said suspiciously.

Ni Kun nodded: "Really." ”

"That's fine."

He Dingxian took the handbag, and found that it was light and fluttering, not like carrying any private goods, so he was a lot more relieved, and nodded and said, "I have time to call the third brother to come to the house for dinner, and I will go in first." ”

"Okay."

"Thank you, big boss."

Ni Kun's face was full of joy, bowed again, and watched He Dingxian walk into the villa. He Dingxian changed his slippers as soon as he entered the door, took out the box as he walked, and put it on the table, Chu Weinan was wearing home clothes, walked out of the study and said with a smile: "Ah Xian, the cake you brought me on purpose?" ”

He Dingxian was not greedy for merit, but said with a smile: "The people under my hand gave it, and the old beans will eat it if they like it." ”

"You won't bite out the gold, will you?"

Chu Wei South Road.

He Dingxian didn't dare to agree, took out a piece of ice, took a bite of it, and confirmed that there was no problem before he smiled and said: "It's just a cake, let's take a piece first." ”

"Okay."

Chu Weinan picked up a piece of cake by himself, looked at the gift box packaging, and knew that the other party had a heart. In these years, ordinary people who buy wife cakes are wrapped in oil paper, which is easy to break, and it takes effort to seal them in a carton.

"By the way, what I told you last week, how did you think about it?" Chu Weinan tasted the biscuits and asked out loud. He Dingxian thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay." ”

"Yes, young people just have to be responsible." Chu Weinan showed a satisfied expression: "And the current members of the Chamber of Commerce, you are the only one who has the honor of knighthood, and the members below all hope that you will take over the position of president as soon as possible, and let me sit with an old bone, the brothers will not be satisfied." ”

He Dingxian shook his head: "I didn't rely on the Chamber of Commerce to help before, so I should return it to the Chamber of Commerce." ”

Luo Wenjin is a knight in the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, but Luo Dazhuang will not serve in the Chamber of Commerce, he belongs to the type of bigwigs who are backers, and he usually does not show up, such as Chu Weinan, Xu Aizhou, Ma Yingbiao, Wang Laoji and others either have a good relationship with the north, or lack political influence, and they can't get the knight medal at all.

He Dingxian used the police force as a springboard, jumped out of the level of the Chamber of Commerce in one jump, and became a person like a backer in a faction of township party forces, but he was only a vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, which was really a bit unreasonable in the scene.

Chu Weinan also said helplessly: "You are already the vice president, at least sit in the position of the president. If you really can't sit for three or five years, and then hand over the position to your subordinates, there are many young juniors in the Chamber of Commerce, and they need a big guy to support. ”

"I don't have much time to use in the Chamber of Commerce, I need more help from my uncles, if Lao Dou can stay as the honorary president to deal with some daily affairs, I may have enough time to help the Chamber of Commerce." He Dingxian spread his hands and said loudly: "You know, since I became the vice president, in addition to giving loans to members, I can only help my fellow villagers fight, come out, and adjust the relationship between government affairs, and there are really few things I can do." ”
