Seeing this, Reinhardt stood up immediately, obviously not wanting to stay here any longer. If Fang Lang hadn't proposed to experience the food stall culture of Hong Kong City here, Reinhardt obviously wouldn't have come here today.
When Yao Mu and Nottingham Jones saw the two men getting up and leaving, they hurriedly followed them.
Fang Lang glanced at the gang members being dealt with by the police not far away, and the bodies that had been covered with white cloth by the police, and said to Reinhardt with a smile:
"It seems like they handled it very efficiently!"
After hearing Fang Lang's words, Reinhardt's expression became a little better. At least now it seemed that the police in Hong Kong City were not completely useless.
“Hopefully they can stay this efficient.”
Nottingham Jones, who followed behind, quickly said:
"Please rest assured, Lieutenant Colonel Henderson, I will work hard in the future and ensure that the police will arrive as soon as possible whenever something happens."
Hearing this, Reinhardt shrugged indifferently, took two steps forward, and saw Zeng John standing beside him with Cai Jiabing. He seemed to have thought of something, stretched out his arm to Zeng John, and waved:
...
...
"Hey! John Zeng, come on!"
Seeing Reinhardt's actions, Fang Lang couldn't help but be stunned. For a moment he couldn't figure out what he was up to.
Zeng John, who heard the call, naturally did not dare to delay. After handing Cai Jiabing to another policeman, he ran over quickly.
"Sir, how can I help you?"
"John, how's your shooting?"
This question stunned everyone present, and some of them didn't quite understand what Reinhardt was trying to do!
"Sir, my shooting scores in the police academy have always been among the best!"
"Very good, you are very brave! I have a job to recommend to you, are you interested?"
After hearing what Reinhardt said, Fang Lang couldn't help but become even more confused.
Upon hearing this, Zeng John was even more confused, and looked at Reinhardt, who had a serious face, with some bewilderment.
"I don't understand, sir!"
Reinhardt patted his arm and said with a smile:
“Don’t be nervous, my friend. I think this is an opportunity for you. A few days ago, I heard that Mr. Grantham wanted to add two security guards.
I think you are suitable. If you are willing, I can recommend you to him. What do you think? "
When these words were spoken, not only Nottingham Jones and Yao Mu behind him were shocked, but they all stared at this British lieutenant colonel who seemed very arrogant with their eyes wide open.
The two men really couldn't understand why this guy treated young Zeng John differently. Was it because he had just bravely come out to negotiate on behalf of the police?
Fang Lang also looked at Reinhardt with some sidelong glances, not understanding why he suddenly wanted to introduce this job to Zeng John.
Zeng Yuehan, the person involved, was even more stunned. He really didn't expect such a pie in the sky to fall from the sky.
You have to know who Grantham is. He is the Governor of Hong Kong, the highest leader who rules Hong Kong on behalf of the British royal family. His power is so great that he can decide all matters in Hong Kong without having to seek the opinions of others.
Don’t listen to people saying that Britain is a constitutional monarchy and a democratic country and think that democracy can be practiced in Britain. If you really think that is the case, then I can only say that you are stupid!
The port city during this period was a British colony. There was no democracy in a colony. It was nothing more than a place for Britain to plunder resources and dump goods.
The Governor of Hong Kong was the local emperor of the colony. He was not responsible for the local residents but only for the British royal family. The police force was just a weapon in the hands of the Governor.
With Zeng John's current status as a police officer, if he could serve as a guard for the Governor of Hong Kong for a few months, it would be an unparalleled political resource, and even the Commissioner of Police would have to give him some face when he saw him.
If they could return to the police force, they would definitely be the first to be given priority for promotion and salary increase. Therefore, this was not a job at all, but a qualification and a political resource.
"But, sir, I'm just an ordinary policeman!"
Seeing that Zeng John seemed a little unconfident, Reinhardt waved his hand nonchalantly and said:
"It doesn't matter. It's precisely because you are a policeman that I recommended you to him."
Just as Zeng John was still thinking about whether to accept the job, Nottingham Jones, who had been following behind him, spoke directly:
"John, what are you hesitating about? This is a rare opportunity. Don't worry about the police station. I will communicate with the director personally and will definitely not put any obstacles in your way."
In fact, when Nottingham Jones heard that Reinhardt was going to recommend John Zeng to serve as security for the Governor of Hong Kong, he was a little worried, because he knew why Reinhardt chose John Zeng, it must be because of the boy's performance today.
But it was precisely because this kid's performance today was so good that he seemed too timid and incompetent. Now it was not easy to get Reinhardt and Fang Lang to agree to keep this matter secret. If Reinhardt now recommends Zeng John to the Governor of Hong Kong, would it remind him of what happened here today?
However, if John Zeng could really become the Governor's guard, it would be a rare opportunity for both him and the Central Police Station, an opportunity to show up in front of the Governor.
So, for a moment, Nottingham Jones was very conflicted, not knowing whether he should support John Zeng in agreeing to Reinhardt's recommendation.
Fortunately, he quickly realized that the decision made by someone like Reinhardt was obviously not something he could stop. If he stood up and expressed his opposition at this time, the results he had just achieved with great difficulty might be lost.
Instead of standing up to stop it, it is better to take the lead in expressing support. This will allow the other party to see your attitude. At the same time, it will also show the other party that you believe in the other party's promise and are confident that the other party will not complain to the Governor of Hong Kong.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Reinhardt looked at him, and his eyes were obviously much softer than before. He knew that he had made the right bet this time, and he met the other party's gaze and nodded to express his gratitude.
Reinhardt was also surprised when he saw this, thinking that this guy was a leader who cared about his subordinates, and his impression of him became much better.
After hearing what Nottingham Jones said, Zeng John lowered his head and thought for a moment, then nodded directly to Reinhardt and said:
"Thank you, sir! If I had the honor to do so, I would try it."
Reinhardt laughed when he heard this, and patted his arm again and said:
"Very good, I have high hopes for you! Take advantage of the time to train your combat skills and don't embarrass me!"
Directly recommending him to be the Governor's guard like Reinhardt did was actually risky. After all, he didn't know John Zeng well, and if anything happened to John Zeng, he would also have to bear certain joint responsibilities.
Therefore, although Zeng John didn't know why the other party was so optimistic about him, he was still very grateful in his heart to this British man who gave him such a big surprise when they first met.
"Yes sir, I won't let you down!"
Seeing Zeng John saluting Reinhardt with a serious look on his face, Nottingham Jones and Yao Mu were full of envy. Especially for Yao Mu, the step Zeng John took today might be the first step taken by a Chinese.
Perhaps, after John Zeng comes out of the Governor's House, he will soon become the first Chinese to break through the rank of detective chief of the police station. This will be a significant step for the entire Chinese police in Hong Kong.
As long as there is a first one, there will definitely be a second, a third, or even countless more. If you can break through to the trainee inspector, you can break through to the inspector, superintendent, and even dream of the position of police commissioner. It is not impossible.
After all, the number of Chinese police officers in Hong Kong exceeds that of British and Indian police officers. If that day really comes, Hong Kong will be ruled by the Chinese.
Thinking of this, Yao Mu's gaze towards Zeng John slowly changed from envy to eagerness. He was already old and would not have much time left in the police force.
After he retires, there must be a successor from the Chinese within the police station. Now it seems that this young man is very good!
Not only is his courage commendable, but his luck is incredible. Today's opportunity has allowed him to meet two noble people. His future prospects must be limitless.
It seems that I have to help him if I have the chance!
After receiving Zeng John's affirmative answer, Reinhardt didn't say anything more. He gestured to Fang Lang and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Fang Lang smiled slightly, stepped forward and shook hands with Zeng John, saying:
"Congratulations, John!"
This made Nottingham Jones and Yao Mu on the side so jealous that their eyes began to turn red. How lucky did this kid have to have such favor from the two big guys? Why wasn't I the one being favored?
Zeng John also shook hands with Fang Lang in a daze, and only reacted after Fang Lang let go of his hand.
"Thank you, sir!"
Fang Lang didn't say anything, but smiled and patted his arm, then gestured to Reinhardt and said:
"Wait a minute, Reinhardt. I'm going to go say hello to the stall owner. I've caused them a lot of trouble today."
After saying that, he walked directly towards the stall owner and his wife who were squatting on the ground not far away with nervous faces, looking around. Although the boss was a lame man, his mind was very clear. When he saw Fang Lang coming towards them, he hurriedly pulled his wife beside him, nodded to Fang Lang, and had a flattering smile on his face.
Fang Lang had a good impression of the boss, so not only did he give him ten dollars for the meal, he also came over to say hello before leaving.
"Boss, I'm sorry to trouble you this time!"
As he said this, he stretched out his right hand towards the boss from a distance.
The boss of Pojiao was clear-headed and knew that the person in front of him was a big shot who frightened both the black and white worlds. He had never shaken hands with such a big shot before.
She nervously turned her apron over and wiped her hands again and again with the clean side, for fear of getting any grease on them.
Fang Lang didn't mind at all and directly grabbed his right hand, patted his greasy arm, and signaled him not to be nervous.
"Sir, you are too kind! You are too kind! It is our fault for not treating you well enough. You were not able to eat and drink well!"
The lame boss looked so nervous that his palms were sweating.
Fang Lang knew that his behavior might make the other party feel uncomfortable, but he had to do it. Such a big thing happened here today, and he and Reinhardt promised to help the police conceal it.
Who knows what the police will do to cover up the crime. If he accidentally implicates this innocent couple, he will feel guilty.
In his previous life, he was just an ordinary citizen. He knew very well the hardships of the lower class. The current Hong Kong City is a cannibalistic society. Now that he has the chance to meet, he doesn't want to see this ordinary couple implicated.
Noticing that the people behind him had also followed, Fang Lang smiled and said to the boss:
"No, no, I think your craftsmanship is very good. If I have the chance next time, I will definitely come back to take care of your business."
The stall owner couldn't help but thank him again and again!
Nottingham Jones and Yao Mu, who were following behind, looked at each other, then looked deeply at the boss couple, and memorized their appearance deeply in their minds.
These two people have been recognized by the big boss.
Zeng John, who had just been praised, was also delighted when he saw Fang Lang's actions. Especially when he noticed that Fang Lang didn't care about his boss's greasy hands and body at all, and took the other's greasy hands and held them, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.
However, this brilliance was quickly hidden by him.
