Whether it was needless worry or preparing for a rainy day.
The Senior Police Force Officers present clearly had no way of detecting Zhou Quan's deepest thoughts.
They knew only one thing: their boss was preparing to adjust the posts and responsibilities of the commanders of the Police Force's six core departments.
Thus, faced with their boss's question, they all sank into careful consideration.
But after only about a minute, the Senior Police Force Officers on either side of Zhou Quan began exchanging meaningful glances instead.
Compared with choosing two Senior Assistant Commissioners to become Police Force Deputy Commissioners, there were many more candidates for promotion from Assistant Commissioner to Senior Assistant Commissioner.
The reason was simple: Assistant Commissioners were the largest group within the Police Force core management.
Apart from the Assistant Commissioners promoted during the last personnel reshuffle led by Zhou Quan, virtually all the other veteran Assistant Commissioners possessed the qualifications and advantages needed for promotion.
If they were asked to nominate candidates for promotion to Police Force Senior Assistant Commissioner, they would not be able to reach a consensus quickly.
Besides that, there was another, most important reason: the Assistant Commissioners beneath them were virtually all leading officers under their boss.
Of course, they themselves also followed Zhou Quan's lead in everything.
But precisely because of this, Zhou Quan was the boss in the eyes of everyone in the entire Police Force core management except Lee Man-bun.
To the other members, a Police Force Deputy Commissioner or a Senior Assistant Commissioner was merely a superior.
They had no way of finding out or guessing which colleagues their boss actually favored.
Under these circumstances, they naturally could not casually put forward their own nominations.
For a moment, Luo Danian, Yin Xiaofeng, and Hon Hau-chung could not help
