From the Independent Commission Against Corruption began to dominate Hong Kong films

Chapter 67 Because This Is a Colony
Sometimes, time can actually fly by.

In a blink of an eye, it was already the middle of 1979.

A lot of major events happened this year, such as the counterattack war, the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, reform and opening up, the armistice between Israel and Egypt, the complete withdrawal of British troops from Malta, and the South Korean coup.

All this seems to have nothing to do with the small Hong Kong Island, but it has a far-reaching impact.

On Hong Kong Island, the economy is developing rapidly and prospering. Accompanied by high inflation, the middle class is rapidly forming. This era is somewhat similar to the late 90s in mainland China. The wealth of a small number of courageous and capable people is increasing every day. The incredible growth rate, when the vast majority of ordinary people are getting more and more out of breath in the face of rising housing prices, a small number of people feel that there is gold everywhere.For example, Xiaoling's tea restaurant business is booming now, and she is planning to open a branch recently.

What's more annoying is that Hao Ren's current salary is still only a little over 1000 yuan, but his monthly expenses are more than 5000 yuan, all of which are paid by Xiaoling, although no one in Hong Kong dares to doubt Director Renda eats soft food, but Hao Ren himself always feels uncomfortable, and always feels that big men don't have face for spending women's money.

In fact, from the perspective of a time traveler, he should be well-off by now if he does whatever he wants, but due to the status restrictions of ICAC, he still dare not start a second side job for himself, and he is still paid a dead salary.

In the past few years, Luo Xiaoling has bought another three-bedroom and one-living room with the money earned from the tea restaurant, which is more than 160 square meters. It is definitely a luxury house in Hong Kong Island. Hao Ren also moved here with his family, and it was just Sleeping in the same room with Xiao Ling, there is not much difference from ordinary people except that the child is a little older.

But Luo Xiaoling is a deadhead, she is like this, but she still refuses to marry Hao Ren, and insists on waiting until Fang Min is full, which makes Fang Min feel depressed, as if she delayed Sister Ling's happiness, Hao Ren didn't think it mattered, after all...he is only 27 this year, and he is still so young and promising. To be honest, he doesn't want to get married early than Luo Xiaoling.

Fang Ting, a little girl, has developed a bit fast in the past two years, and she is still not used to wearing underwear at home, which makes Hao Ren feel very embarrassed when she sees her several times, but the little girl doesn't treat him as an outsider at all, and doesn't want to think about it. Avoid it a little.

This morning, as usual, Luo Xiaoling will prepare breakfast for the whole family except Fang Zhanbo, and after Hao Ren and Fang Ting finish their meals, go to work, go to school, go to school, she will go back to the bedroom and go back to sleep After returning home, Fang Zhanbo got up at ten o'clock to open the door of the tea restaurant, and Fang Zhanbo helped her with shopping and lunch before going to the university for evening classes.

Hao Ren ate Luo Xiaoling's congee with meat floss and love, and drove to work at the ICAC in a sleepy state. As soon as he sat down in the office, the secretary told him that Yan Guoliang had something to ask him, and told him to go there when he came.

"Morning, sir, what are you looking for this early in the morning? I'm so greedy. Which department?"

Unexpectedly, Yan Guoliang looked embarrassed. This guy who doesn't smoke is actually still lighting a cigarette, and the ashtray is full of cigarette butts.

"What's the matter? There's something difficult."

Yan Guoliang gave Hao Ren an ugly smile and said, "I... have something to tell you."

"Say it." Hao Ren had a premonition that what Yan Guoliang was going to say must be something bad, so he sat down and said calmly.

"I'm leaving."

"En?" Hao Ren was taken aback.

"Go? You are going on a business trip."

"No, I'm going to be transferred from the ICAC."

"Isn't it? Let's go again?! Come on again, why this time!"

"Phew, Yan Guoliang took a puff of cigarette."

"You know, the current organizational structure of the Independent Commission Against Corruption has matured, and our influence has grown. Some people say that our department is the most powerful department in Hong Kong after the Third Division and Thirteenth Bureau. "

"So what? Our influence is achieved by you leading the brethren step by step. It was captured by greedy one after another. Could it be... Damn! The ghost wants to pick peaches."

Yan Guoliang nodded: "That's right, the new Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption is a ghost."

"Fuck the street! We arrested Lei Luo, we broke up the four major families, we broke up the corruption network in Hong Kong Island society, how many times have I suffered from gunshot wounds just to do business, Mr. Yan The balcony of your house was shoveled by those gangsters, now the world is peaceful, they are going to change people? Why?!!"

Yan Guoliang gave Hao Ren a meaningful look: "Just because this is a colony."

"Whoo~"

Hao Ren had nothing to say, and sat opposite Yan Guoliang, silently lighting a cigarette.

"As for me, the director, am I going to get out of here too?"

"This is exactly what the higher-ups asked me to talk to you about. To be honest, in the hearts of the citizens, you, the director of operations, have a better reputation than me. Who doesn't know that you, Director Hao, are clean and capable. If you are replaced directly, Not only will the brethren below be chilled, but even the public opinion may even ferment. Although the British make signs, they still like to set up memorial archways for themselves, so the higher-ups hope that you can take the initiative to apply for a transfer."

"What about Jia Kui and Ah Ying, they are also senior investigators now."

Yan Guoliang continued to smoke a cigarette silently: "To be honest, ghosts don't mind the Chinese for the position of senior investigation director, but if you and I leave, I don't think it is suitable for them because of their temperament. Stay here, you can talk to them, if transferred, the two of them will get fairer treatment than us."

"Where do you want to transfer us?"

Yan Guoliang's smile was even more bitter: "In my case, there are no more seats for Chinese in Hong Kong's public service departments. I will abandon my official position and start a business. It can be regarded as an exchange of interests. The residential building renovation project was handed over to me. Even if I subcontracted the project, I would earn at least a few million. You say it’s ridiculous. I’ve been greedy for so long. , but gave me an insider transaction as compensation, hahaha, funny funny, hahahaha, this is really funny."

Hao Ren had also finished his cigarette at this time. After he extinguished it, he couldn't help it. He picked up another cigarette and lit it. He wanted to open his mouth to comfort Yan Guoliang, but he was really not in the mood and didn't know what to say. He didn't know yet. Who can I turn to for comfort?

Hao Ren put down the lighter and listened to Yan Guoliang: "You are younger than me, and being younger means more possibilities. I believe that Hong Kong Island is still Hong Kong Island for Hong Kong people. I also believe that Chinese rule Hong Kong. The day will eventually come, and we also need talented Chinese like you to stay in the civil service to accumulate strength for us Chinese, so I hope you will not leave the civil service, accept the arrangement of the ghost, and accept the transfer."

Hao Ren asked calmly, "Where does the ghost want me to be transferred?"

"I suggest to the higher-ups that you should be transferred to the police force. They really can't hold down positions in the police force at least below the middle and high levels. At present, the police officers above the middle level have been fully released to the Chinese. To be honest, you are actually a civil servant with real power in the Chinese community. Among them, you are already considered a top figure, and you are not a law student, so there are not many suitable positions for you."

"Hehe", Hao Ren is happy, but this is exactly what he wants, not only because he has a cheat that is more suitable for being a policeman, but also because the power of the police position does not come from ghosts. Power flows from the bottom up.Back then, Lei Luo wasn't even a supervisor, didn't he still call the shots?
Yan Guoliang originally thought that Hao Ren would be angry, but he actually smiled and said, "Even Huang Bingyao is now a supervisor. If you don't give me the rank of senior inspector, I won't do it. At worst, I will open a tea restaurant with my horse."

"Yes, the police force is just expanding its recruitment from society. Based on your achievements and position in the ICAC, it is not a big problem to directly become a senior inspector. As for the position, which position do you want to take, leave it to me. I will talk to the above. The above In order to worry about public opinion, as long as it is a senior inspector, I can help you operate, and Chen Jiaju and Li Ying can also be transferred with you, starting as a trainee inspector."

"Okay, then...well, let me discuss it with the two of them first."
