Chapter 1089 The Arrival of Winter
Chapter 1089 The Arrival of Winter
In the blink of an eye, Hong Kong Island entered the winter of 94, and pedestrians on the street began to wear thick clothes and scarves.
Qiu Di also hand-knitted a scarf for Watson, but Watson refused to wear it no matter what, as it really didn't suit his aesthetic taste.
In addition to his current physical condition, he has no problem wearing short sleeves, let alone a scarf.
And today is the day Watson takes up his post as Deputy Director of Operations.
At this moment, he was standing in front of the floor-length mirror at home, looking at the white police uniform he was wearing. He couldn't help but ask with satisfaction, "Qiu Di, what do you think?"
Qiu Di looked tenderly at his beloved standing before him and said, "Very good! The police uniform looks very handsome on you!"
As he spoke, Qiu Di took the police hat, helped Watson put it on, and made some minor adjustments so that the police badge on the hat was aligned with his face.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Watson couldn't help but feel deeply moved. After going through so much, it was finally his turn to take the lead today.
From now on, he is considered a big boss in the police force, and all the operational departments of the police force are under his command and dispatch.
I remember when I first traveled to Hong Kong Island, I was still struggling to save my life. It was really difficult for me to face a sinister, cunning and very smart gangster like Tony!
Immediately afterwards, he encountered a group of enemies including Eight-Faced Buddha, Wang Bao, and Liansheng, but the difficulties these people posed were not as great as the pressure Tony gave Watson at the beginning.
When I first came here, I was just an ordinary person the day before, but the next day I had to face a ruthless person like Tony. Even with the system, it was still very difficult!
But now, I have overcome all these difficulties.
People will become stronger step by step as they experience and grow.
Thinking carefully about the difficulties at the time, it seems now to be just a small matter.
Thousands of boats have passed through thousands of mountains, this is probably the idea!
Watson let out a long sigh: "Let's go. Today is my inauguration ceremony. I don't want to be late at this time."
"Well, I'll wait for you to come back home!" Qiu Di said gently, his eyes never leaving Watson.
When I walked out of the house, Xigui was already waiting for me at the door in his car.
After getting in the car, Xigui slowly started the car and drove towards the police station.
Along the way, there were traffic police on duty at every intersection, and you could also see plainclothes men wearing headsets walking on the streets.
These people are all protecting Watson.
Information about Watson's appointment was made public a week ago.
Therefore, the news of Watson's appointment as Deputy Director of Operations has been known to the entire police force.
Throughout the history of the police force, the Deputy Commissioner of Operations is very likely to be the next Commissioner of Police.
The current Commissioner of Police, Wong Ping-yiu, is already old and is less than two years away from retirement. By then, Watson will be a strong contender for the next Commissioner of Police.
And the best part is that Watson is still very young and can stay in the position for many years.
This is worth a lot of people's investment and flattery, as no one wants to have a conflict with the highest commander of the largest disciplined force in Hong Kong Island.
When Watson arrived at the auditorium, he found it was already full of people.
Financial Secretary John Fan, Secretary for Justice Raymond Lai, Secretary for Security Peter Parker, and Deputy Secretary for Security Luk Ming-wah...
Except for the Director of the Administrative Affairs Bureau, most of the other leaders of the three departments and thirteen bureaus were present.
Although their positions are much higher than Watson's, and they are not even on the same level, but in terms of power, Watson is second only to Watson in the police force!
In addition, Watson's fame is now known throughout Asia. People like him, unless they have too deep conflicts, will come to support him.
Watson walked towards Fan Weili and others. Although he was a little surprised that Li Yonglian would come, there was no emotion on his face. Since the other party had come, he would not target him at this time.
"Director Fan, Director Li, Director Parker, Deputy Director Lu... Thank you all for coming. I'm truly flattered!"
Fan Weili smiled, stood up, patted Watson's arm, and said, "Boy, you're still saying these things after getting promoted. Don't you welcome us old guys?"
Lai Wing-lam also smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Hua is in a high position at such a young age. He is simply a role model for countless police officers in Hong Kong Island!"
"Thank you, thank you!" Watson replied modestly.
Parker also smiled and came forward and said, "Hua Sir, after your promotion, you will have many opportunities to interact with our Security Bureau. Let's keep in touch in the future!"
"Of course, of course!" Watson remained very modest.
Lu Minghua looked at the handsome man in front of him with admiration, without moving forward. However, when it comes to the strength of his support for Watson, he was definitely not inferior to anyone present.
Although he didn't come forward, after Watson and Fan Weili greeted each other, they still didn't forget him. They walked over and said, "Director Lu, we meet again!"
Lu Minghua smiled and said, "Hua Sir, I am always surprised every time I see you. To be honest, I have never seen such a speed of promotion in my life."
He noticed Watson when he was just starting to make his mark, and personally watched him rise step by step to one of the highest levels of the police force.
Watson looked at Lu Minghua in front of him, and a strange flash passed through his eyes. He had some guesses about Lu Minghua's identity in his mind, but since the other party didn't say it, he couldn't reveal it.
"Director Lu, I've prepared a few banquets at the hotel tonight to celebrate. You must come!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely be there!"
The Independent Commission Against Corruption in Hong Kong only investigates money of unknown origin and does not prohibit officials' families from doing business. For example, A-Zu's mother ran a company, which ensured that he had no shortage of money since he was a child.
Even the money earned through gambling in Macau can be considered as money obtained through formal channels.
Therefore, as Watson’s girlfriend, Qiu Di can run the company normally and can get married in the future.
However, there is no such thing as concubines in Hong Kong Island at present, which gives Watson a headache. He can only get along with her as his girlfriend.
If it were a few decades ago, polygamy would have been practiced.
After Watson exchanged greetings with everyone for a while, Huang Bingyao came out from the backstage. He had gone backstage to arrange today's promotion ceremony.
It’s not just Watson who is going to be promoted today, but also Zeng Xiangrong from the management department.
In addition to the two people, a group of senior police officers were also promoted, making the promotion ceremony more grand.
