RPAGF Chapter 63 First Encounter with Big D
Chapter 63 First Encounter with Big D
As Li Jian was thinking, the phone rang again.
Since returning to the police force, his phone has been ringing almost nonstop.
Pick up the phone.
"Hello, Jian, it's me, Miao Zhongxin."
"Brother Miao, is there anything I can do for you?"
"Thanks to you, I got promoted and I'm now a senior inspector."
"congratulations!"
"I got promoted thanks to you, Jian. If it weren't for those dozens of kilograms of flour, I wouldn't have gotten promoted either. That's why I called you right away. How about we have dinner together tonight?" Miao Zhongxin's voice was relaxed, revealing his undisguised happiness.
Li Jian laughed and said, "Okay, I'll call Ah Zhan, let's get together."
Miao Zhongxin laughed heartily: "No problem, eight o'clock tonight, that's got guts!"
hang up the phone.
Li Jian shook his head.
Everyone seems to prefer dining at restaurants with integrity; it's practically become their go-to spot.
Li Jian called He Wenzhan: "Ah Zhan, it's eight o'clock tonight. You have to show some backbone. Inspector Miao is treating, you have to come!"
8 pm.
Li Jian brought Fei Sha to the Youguqi Restaurant.
He Wenzhan was at the hotel entrance when he saw Li Jian approaching and quickly greeted him, "Brother Jian!"
Li Jian looked at He Wenzhan, who was dressed in casual clothes: "Ah Zhan, how old are you? I almost didn't recognize you in your casual clothes."
He Wenzhan was a little shy, "Brother Jian, I'm already 33."
Li Jian laughed and said, "You're 33 years old, ten years older than me. I should call you Brother Zhan."
He Wenzhan said, "Brother Jian, don't flatter me. In our police force, we value ability. If you're capable, you're still a senior even if you're young. If you're incompetent, being old won't help you."
He Wenzhan was telling the truth.
Just like within the system, many cadres are very young, and even seasoned veterans have to respectfully address them as Director Wang or County Head Li.
Those older, senior staff members could only be addressed as Old Wang or Old Li.
Li Jian was already being very polite by not calling him Lao He.
He Wenzhan continued, "Miao Sir and the others have already gone up; they're just waiting for you, Brother Jian."
Li Jian patted his arm: "Come on, let's go together."
Private room on the second floor.
Li Jian received a warm welcome as soon as he entered.
Miao Zhongxin led the way in standing up and applauding, what a scene!
The scene was truly spectacular, with gongs and drums resounding, firecrackers exploding, Bauhinia flags waving, and a sea of people, almost squeezing Li Jian under the table.
"Welcome our good brother, Ah Jian!"
"Brother Jian!"
"Brother Jian!"
"Brother Jian!"
Miao Zhongxin's men naturally wouldn't follow their boss in calling Li Jian "Ah Jian"; they were genuinely welcoming Li Jian from the bottom of their hearts.
This is the situation.
Li Jian really wanted to say, "Hello, comrades!"
However, since Hong Kong Island has not yet been returned to China, making such a statement would likely get us invited for a chat.
Li Jian greeted everyone with a smile and then took his seat.
"Ah Jian, you're the star today, you deserve to sit in the main seat!"
Miao Zhongxin gave up a spot.
Li Jian politely replied, "Miao Tou, this is your home turf, there's no reason for me to sit in the host's seat."
Miao Zhongxin insisted on stepping down.
Li Jian had no choice but to sit down.
The main guest arrived, and the banquet began.
Miao Zhongxin really went all out today.
The table was covered with sea cucumber, abalone, lobster, and large crabs, and the red wine was all from 82.
Miao Zhongxin raised his glass and said, "Today, all members of our intelligence team want to thank Brother A-Jian. Without Brother A-Jian, we wouldn't have achieved this. Come on, everyone, let's toast Brother A-Jian."
There is no difference between those inside and outside the system.
People within the system are also human; they have emotions and desires, and they also have to be mindful of interpersonal relationships.
The intricacies of interpersonal relationships within the system are even deeper than those outside.
The happiest thing for those within the system is getting a promotion, a raise, or receiving an award (excluding those with flags).
Miao Zhongxin and his gang were promoted one rank and received commendations and awards for seizing dozens of kilograms of flour, with bonuses alone amounting to tens of thousands of yuan.
Li Jian was their benefactor!
Li Jian accepted all offers, holding a bottle in one hand and a glass in the other: "Wishing you all smooth sailing in your future careers, brothers! Cheers!"
"Cheers~!"
bah—
Before everyone could finish their drinks...
A group of people kicked open the door and rushed in.
"I booked a private room, why was it given to someone else? Tell them all to get out!"
A voice that was arrogant to the extreme followed.
The hotel staff rushed over and blocked the way for the man: "Brother D, I'm sorry, business is good today, we really don't have any rooms available."
I'll arrange for you to stay in the main hall; it's free of charge.
“I don’t care if you have a room or not. I reserve this private room. Every time I come here, I use this private room.” A thin man in a light blue suit walked in. “Besides, do you think I, Da D, am someone who doesn’t pay for meals? If you make me sit in the main hall, people will think I can’t afford to pay.”
The moment the door was kicked open.
Li Jian and the others all looked toward the doorway.
The enthusiastic atmosphere suddenly froze.
The man led a group of his henchmen in and rushed in, only to be dumbfounded when he saw what was inside.
As the person in charge of Wo Luen Shing Tsuen Wan, Big D is also a familiar face to the Hong Kong police.
same.
Many Hong Kong police officers are also old acquaintances of Big D.
"Big D, what's going on?"
The first to speak was Fei Sha, a former senior detective in the anti-triad unit who was well acquainted with many triad bosses.
Big D swallowed hard, then immediately put on a smile: "Officer Lu, long time no see! Having dinner with colleagues? It's like the flood washed away the Dragon King's temple; we're all family and don't even recognize each other."
"Alright, I'll treat you another day, boss. Put the cost of this room on my tab. Officers, please enjoy your meal. I'll be going now."
Big D cursed his bad luck and started to back away.
Miao Zhongxin suddenly spoke up: "Wait!"
Big D froze, too afraid to move.
Seeing their boss too scared to move, the henchmen behind him immediately shouted, "Who's inside? How dare they talk to my boss like that? Come out if you dare, or I'll kill you!"
"Come out if you have the guts!"
"Fine, I'm out now. Let's see how you're going to kill me?"
Miao Zhongxin has a very bad temper.
I finally managed to treat Li Jian to dinner today to express my gratitude and, incidentally, to get closer to him.
I never expected to run into this.
Don't let Big D's arrogant demeanor in the triad fool you; he's the head of a branch of the Wo Luen Shing triad.
A gangster is still a gangster, no matter how big he becomes.
Just like a mouse, even the biggest mouse will be afraid of a cat.
They may not be afraid of kittens, but when they encounter a tiger, they still have to tuck their tails between their legs.
Big D was surprised by his underlings' courage. Upon seeing Miao Zhongxin approach, he immediately pleaded, "Sir, my underlings are ignorant. Please be magnanimous and let them go."
"Your underling is ignorant? You, as the boss, are also ignorant? How do you discipline your underling?"
Miao Zhongxin reached out and patted Big D's face, then turned to his colleagues and shouted, "Search them! Check their identification!"
Ah Gui and Ah Bin immediately came over and shouted at Big D, "Turn around, lean against the wall, and put your hands behind your head!"
Big D's face turned extremely ugly: "Officer, is this really necessary? If you do this, how am I supposed to work here in the future?"
Miao Zhongxin said coldly, "I now suspect you of engaging in illegal organizational activities. You will be subject to inspection immediately, or I will take you back to the police station right now!"
Seeing that Miao Zhongxin was really angry, Da D turned around sullenly and put his hands behind his head.
"You two bastards really ruined my life!"
