Chapter 381

Fang Jiexia's home, villa.

"Mr. Brown, please do your best regarding my daughter's matter. She is young and impulsive, lacking experience, and I hope you will consider our past friendship..."

"I apologize, she has already realized her mistake..."

"Thank you very much, thank you very much."

Fang Jiexia's father is calling a senior official in the Chief Secretary's office, a superior of the police department.

He is a senior police official, but he retired a few years ago and has a certain network of connections in both the police force and the Chief Secretary's office. This is also the reason why she was able to be promoted to Superintendent at such a young age. (PS: After '97, the Chief Secretary's office was renamed the Administration Secretary's office; the Secretary is the Prime Minister, the person second only to the Governor/Chief Executive.) This time, Fang Jiexia caused a huge mess, so he naturally has to clean up after his daughter.

Subsequently, he made several more calls.

She gritted her teeth, knowing full well that if she made a scene now, it would only make her situation worse if it got out, especially since she had already been at the center of public opinion for the past two days.

At a glance, take a look

"Uncle, a small police officer actually dared to issue me a parking ticket, could you help me out... Okay, thank you Uncle... Her badge number is..."

Wei Yingzi: "I'm sorry, I'm just following police regulations!"

Fang Jiexia: "Ah? What happened?"

Soon, Fang Jiexia finished her shower, changed her clothes, and walked out.

"You just wait!"

And this road happens to be a no-parking zone.

As for the casualties of the frontline officers, she didn't feel very deeply about it; otherwise, she wouldn't have said something like "big show."

As she spoke, she pointed to the conspicuous no-parking sign not far away.

Fang Jiexia's face turned pale and then red. She didn't expect this small police officer to be so disrespectful, and the crowd gathering around her was growing, with people pointing at her and whispering.

A heavy accusation was placed directly on Fang Jiexia's head.

Fang Jiexia pushed open the door, forcing a reluctant smile: "Deputy Commissioner, are you looking for me?"

Many people bought newspapers today because there was so much exciting content, and they all turned into onlookers.

That was at the Legislative Council meeting! Chen Chen Jiaju enviously hooked his arm around Zhang Zhiheng's shoulder: "If I could get on the newspaper, that would be great."

On the way, she parked her car in an empty spot 20 meters away from a newsstand and got out to buy a newspaper.

At this moment, the Deputy Commissioner's assistant called.

"At the same time, Councilor Director Guan also proposed amending the Police Force Ordinance... experienced frontline action officers, commanders..."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Fang Jiexia drove her red Mercedes away from the villa and headed to the Police Headquarters building.

"Councilor Director Guan angrily scolds TVB for being stupid, feeding on human blood!"

Not far away, Wei Yingzi was riding her motorcycle, stopped nearby.

The Deputy Commissioner said angrily and coldly: "Do you know what a huge mess you caused with that 'big show' yesterday? Now public opinion is in an uproar, the Legislative Council is applying pressure, and even the Governor has personally inquired about it. Commissioner Johns is furious and insists on holding the responsible person accountable."

And starting the day before yesterday, she suddenly realized: there are two types of Legislative Councilors:

"Justice: Councilor Director Guan angrily scolds the police force at the Legislative Council!"

"What 'ah'? Hurry up and go, it's a good thing~"

I dare not provoke a Legislative Councilor! If I get scolded, wouldn't I become a clown? It would be incredibly confusing!

"Why didn't you refute her at the time?"

Mrs. Fang paced back and forth in the office angrily, her high heels making sharp sounds on the floor, "We at TVB have always upheld freedom of the press and reported the facts, but he, on the other hand, slapped such a huge label on us. That officer kneeling was a fact, the public has a right to know, why can't we report it?"

"Haha... good news... you are now a Chief Inspector... you performed well this time, and the Commissioner even mentioned you."

Fang Jiexia was surprised: Punished so quickly? Uncle is powerful?!

However, at this moment, on the television screen in the living room, ATV news anchor Wen Huixin was reporting on Councilor Director Guan Zu's proposal at the Legislative Council meeting.

At this time, the Commissioner's secretary knocked on the office door.

Easy to say, you have no idea how powerful Director Guan Zu's aura was at the Legislative Council meeting at that time.

"... Councilor Director Guan expressed strong dissatisfaction with the police force's command team yesterday. Why was someone with no operational experience commanding a battle?"

Uncle had the urge to vomit blood.

Zhang Zhiheng stood up abruptly and saluted: "Yes! Commissioner! Thank you, Commissioner!"

Fang Jiexia's heart skipped a beat.

She had been a Legislative Councilor since the draft in 1981.

"......"

Wei Yingzi: "Do you know, Superintendent Fang... but so what if you are a Superintendent? These are traffic rules, and everyone must obey them. Let alone buying a newspaper, even if the sky falls, you cannot park illegally here. As a Superintendent, you should set an example, or do you think you are above the law?"

In the CEO's office, Mrs. Fang sat in that large leather chair, her face pale, clutching a newspaper tightly, the report about Director Guan Zu criticizing TVB particularly glaring.

Lei Meng: "You also know how difficult it was to be promoted to Superintendent before, especially for people like you who rarely run cases in the office, it's especially difficult..."

"Zhang Sir, congratulations on being in the newspaper!"

"Zhiheng... come, come, sit!"

His daughter caused such a huge mess, would those people let him off easily?

Fang Jiexia didn't notice this and arrived at the newsstand.

Zhang Zhiheng was also a bit dizzy.

They all supported him.

In fact, the Deputy Commissioner's punishment was even greater! He was directly demoted to Senior Assistant Commissioner!

Fang Jiexia said angrily and coldly: "I'm just parking for a moment, just to buy a newspaper, do you have to be so serious?"

The entire Major Crimes Unit warmly congratulated Zhang Zhiheng, feeling incredibly envious.

She was incredibly angry.

Looking at it... his father is a hoodlum, with no background whatsoever.

Early in the morning,

Looking at his daughter with surprise.

He even wanted to use his background to strike at that small police officer, but it turned out the other party's background was stronger than his own.

"I've been dismissed..."

Because he had just called the Commissioner of the Wan Chai Police Station, and then was directly scolded by that Commissioner for a minute.

Zhang Zhiheng had only been transferred to West Kowloon for a few months, and integrating was still a bit difficult, but after this case, he clearly felt that the entire Major Crimes Unit admired him and recognized him as "one of their own."

He is British, and there are only 6 years left until the handover.

Lei Meng smiled: "You still need to thank Councilor Director Guan."

The Deputy Commissioner said coldly: "Don't blame me, go back and pack your things."

Fortunately, the money sent out before still worked, and everyone was willing to give him face.

Wei Yingzi sneered, rode her bike to the side of the red Mercedes, and started writing a ticket...

Zhang Zhiheng, amidst the envious gazes of his colleagues, left the Major Crimes Unit office and came to the Commissioner's office.

Fang's father looked gloomy: "This time it's a bit troublesome, you might need to be mentally prepared."

Soon,

West Kowloon Regional Police Headquarters.

"If you do something wrong, you must admit it!"

"A loser? Others got up there through connections, if you don't have connections, you can only blame your poor background!"

A new day, today is December 5th, the weather is cold, and the average outdoor temperature in Hong Kong is 14 degrees.

The Public Relations Branch began to spread the news.

She slammed the newspaper onto the table, and the documents on the table were shaken and scattered all over the floor, "This Director Guan Zu, how can he publicly accuse our TVB like this!"

Mrs. Fang glanced at Liang Liang Shuyi standing on the side, feeling very dissatisfied.

"With such heavy casualties in this operation, who should be held responsible?"

And that's not all, once Director Guan Zu's proposal is passed, those senior police officials, especially those who are about to lose their frontline command authority, might not be able to guarantee that they won't settle this score with him.

She felt that yesterday's incident was no big deal; she had people covering for her, and the matter would pass soon, and she would just find another opportunity to get promoted and a raise. "Ah?"

Fang Jiexia was suddenly angry: "How can that Director Guan Zu be like this? Yes, I made a mistake, but I already know I was wrong, what else does he want!"

Fang Jiexia walked out of the office in a daze, her heart full of unwillingness, but she was powerless to change anything.

Hung up the phone.

Along the way, Fang Jiexia's hands gripping the steering wheel were bulging with veins due to anger, and she was full of regret.

"Dad, how is it?"

"I can't handle Director Guan Zu, and I can't handle you, a small police officer?"

She used to think that all Legislative Councilors were the same, and apart from the Chairman, there wouldn't be much difference.

"Oh oh oh!"

Zhang Zhiheng's face was excited: "Commissioner, what do you mean?"

"Because that female police officer's boyfriend is Legislative Councilor Gao Jin, from the Five Star Group. Let's just let this go!"

The expression was still relatively relaxed.

Lei Meng patted Zhang Zhiheng on the shoulder: "Prepare yourself, go to the headquarters building next Monday for the Superintendent promotion interview!"

At 8 o'clock, the golden sunlight fell on Hong Kong, bringing some warmth to the citizens.

Fang Jiexia quickly called an uncle at the Traffic Headquarters, not a relative, but a good friend of her father's.

They all watched the news.

Fang Jiexia bought 2 newspapers, paid, and just as she turned around, she saw Wei Yingzi standing next to her red Mercedes, holding a ticket book, her pen writing on it.

When the surrounding citizens heard this, they all looked over, onlookers +1+1+1+1.

Commissioner Lei Meng happily invited Zhang Zhiheng to sit on the sofa.

Fang's father explained the situation.

Connected! "Xia, I'm sorry, let's just let this matter go..."

"Madam, that ticket was written beautifully!"

"Zhang Zhiheng! The Commissioner is calling you!"

He didn't expect his daughter to be targeted by the Legislative Council. The words spoken on such an occasion were as heavy as Mount Tai. This time, let alone keeping her position and rank, even a demotion would be considered light, and it's even possible she'll be dismissed directly!

"Abusing power for personal gain!"

5 minutes passed in a flash.

The car soon drove to the front of the Police Headquarters building. She walked into the building with a gloomy face, every step seemingly filled with anger, the sound of her high heels colliding with the floor echoing in the corridor.

Fang Jiexia: "Do you know who I am?"

But he was still very grateful to Director Guan Zu for being able to remember his name.

"Is she that commander?"

In this case, West Kowloon can be said to have held its head high! He, Lei Meng, also had face! "Commissioner, are you looking for me?"

"Superintendent Fang Jiexia, the Deputy Commissioner wants you to come over."

"Wow~~~ that's the loser Superintendent!"

Liang Liang Shuyi: "............"

Lei Meng: "Hahaha, that's right, it's a promotion to Superintendent!"

Chen Chen Jiaju and others were sharing the newspaper.

Wei Yingzi looked up: "You parked illegally, this is a no-parking zone, didn't you see the sign?"

At this moment, Zhang Zhiheng's breathing became rapid.

Uncle called back.

Fang's father: "???"

"Yes, Mr. Director Guan praised you directly at the Legislative Council meeting!"

At this time, the ATV news had finished broadcasting.

At this moment, he was full of regret. If he had known, he should have taught her more about the depths of officialdom and shouldn't have let her rely on connections to be promoted smoothly all the way.

Almost vomited a mouthful of old blood.

This time, Zhang Zhiheng was just too lucky; at the right time, he did the right thing and gained the appreciation of the right person.

"He thinks he's amazing just because he's a Legislative Councilor!"

Her heart tightened, she walked over quickly, her tone cold, with a bit of superiority: "What are you doing?"

Relieved.

One type is Director Guan Zu, the other type is other Legislative Councilors.

"You also saw last night's news and today's newspaper, Mr. Director Guan Zu suggested that the police force carry out reforms, and prioritize frontline officers for promotions..."

Fang Jiexia: "............"

Fang Jiexia's father's face changed directly!

"Not very clear, Deputy Commissioner, please enlighten me."

The Deputy Commissioner's face was also gloomy, glaring at Fang Jiexia: "Fang Jiexia, do you know why I called you here?"

"Insane: Police Commissioner had his mouth blown in public!"

"Aren't you a Legislative Councilor?"

Heh, you little punk! Watch me fix you!

He slammed the table and scolded: "I approved you to do the job, I didn't tell you to make it like that!"

"Fine, you win!"

Fang Jiexia, upon hearing this, eagerly defended herself: "Deputy Commissioner, I was just following orders..."

The Deputy Commissioner sat down again and said decisively: "Fang Jiexia, after a unanimous decision by the senior leadership: because you made a major mistake during the operation, leading to heavy casualties in the police force, and at the same time, the negative public opinion is very unfavorable to the police force, therefore, it has been decided to dismiss you."

Fang Jiexia walked to the door of the Deputy Commissioner's office with her heart in her throat, raised her hand, and knocked on the door.

The police officers passing by, seeing her like this, all tactfully avoided her, fearing bad luck. Of course, disgust was inevitable.

"What?!" Fang Jiexia's eyes widened, "I'm dismissed? Just because of this one mistake? I've given so much to the police force..."

Director Guan Zu was pointing at their TVB and scolding them, TVB was in the wrong.

His eyes happened to see Fang Jiexia parking the red Mercedes on the side of the road, and he immediately recognized the famous Superintendent Fang Jiexia who "doesn't treat frontline lives as lives."

Fang Jiexia returned to her office, quickly logged into the police system, entered the officer number, and soon Wei Yingzi's detailed information appeared in front of her.

He was just doing his duty, he didn't expect to be praised by Director Guan Zu and reported in the newspaper; this is what he felt was "funny."

The Deputy Commissioner's face turned black upon hearing this. Do you mean I approved it, so I'm the scapegoat?

"It really is her, she's the same as on the news!"

On the TVB side,

Fang Jiexia squeezed these words through her teeth, snatched the ticket handed over by Wei Yingzi, firmly memorized Wei Yingzi's officer number, sat in the car, "slammed" the car door shut, started the car, and sped away.

"Come in."

Demoted by one rank! And, this rank might never be recovered in the future.

Sure enough, Uncle agreed very readily, saying he would properly rectify the atmosphere of the Traffic Department.

Staring fixedly at the TV, muttering to himself: "It's over, it's all over now."

"Ah? Why?"

TVB building, every TVB employee felt the oppressive atmosphere of the entire building early in the morning.

Major Crimes Unit.

"Bang!"

And Fang Jiexia began to pack her things, and amidst the strange gazes of her colleagues, she left the Public Relations Branch and left the Police Headquarters building!

Zhang Zhiheng nodded.

He was indeed very grateful to Director Guan Zu.

Especially the proposal to prioritize frontline officers for police promotions was a great kindness to them, the frontline officers.

Usually, when it comes to promotions, those in the office get promoted quickly.

Now, it's our turn, the frontline action teams, to get promoted quickly!
