Old Mr. Zhou knew Zhou Quan very well. He knew that this younger member of his family seemed somewhat too steady and mature on the surface.
In reality, however, he was definitely a perceptive young man with an exceptionally quick mind.
On a matter as momentous as Hong Kong Island's reunification, Zhou Quan's position and standing did not allow him to play any directly decisive role.
But no one could say when the young fellow might produce an unexpected surprise.
There had been the disbandment of the Hong Kong Island Police Force's Political Department a few years earlier, for instance, and now this leverage over the Foreigners' garrison.
Besides, although Old Mr. Zhou had never directly helped Zhou Quan's career, Zhou Quan was, after all, his own grandson.
Introducing his grandson to Old Mr. Wang, who would be taking over his work, would also give Zhou Quan another source of protection.
Even if work required him to leave Hong Kong Island temporarily and return to the capital.
As long as Zhou Quan made no mistakes in his own work, no one with ulterior motives would be allowed to bully his grandson.
Old Mr. Wang, for his part, was clearly very interested in the young man from his old comrade and brother-in-arms' family.
"Young fellow, whenever you have any good news, feel free to stop by my office!"
Old Mr. Wang nodded with a warm smile.
On his kindly face, his eyes, slightly clouded with age, narrowed into slits.
The Motherland had seen the outstanding performance of the young man before him in the Hong Kong Island Police Force.
Most importantly, this young man supported the Motherland with all his heart.
Some things could be considered Zhou Quan's duties and obligations at work.
