South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Chapter 396 Transferred to Handong Province

There is another person he plans to transfer to Handong Province, and that person is Zhang Hongyi. On the one hand, he needs help, and on the other hand, he also wants to reunite him with his family.

That's right. Zhang Shaohuai also works in Handong Province. He was transferred here before. Although he is at the vice-provincial level, he is not a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. His qualifications and political achievements are not enough. He is currently serving as a vice governor in the provincial government in charge of justice, education, sports, prisons, and the Women's Federation. His power is lower than that of other vice governors, but no matter what, his rank has gone up.

In addition to Zhang Shaohuai, his third uncle also left him resources in the provincial party committee, including Liu Jianye, Minister of the United Front Work Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and Yu Maoxun, Political Commissar of the Provincial Military Region. Although these two people are ranked low in the provincial party committee, they are members of the provincial party committee standing committee after all. As for the other standing committee members, if Zhou Zhenjun was still there, they might still be useful, but now that he is gone, the tea has gone cold. After all, the current official is not as good as the current manager.

These two people must be visited during this trip to Handong Province. The other standing committee members have their own factions, and many people have joined Liang Qunfeng as soon as he took office. The provincial party secretary is too old to retire after another term, but the governor is old enough to serve one more term, which has created a strange balance in the political situation in Handong Province.

Yuan Mu's transfer this time was not across provinces. His organizational relationship was first transferred back to Kyoto, and then transferred to Handong Province. His appointment was directly made by the Z Organization Department, and he was still an airborne cadre from Kyoto.

Originally, he planned to use this time to go to Handong Province to visit Lao Gao, but the round trip was too troublesome, and he had to be accompanied by comrades from the Z Organization Department when he took office, so he decided to give up on it and wait until the time came.

However, Yuan Mu took this opportunity to go to the Porcelain Capital and visit his old classmate Wei Huatian. In fact, Yuan Mu had proposed to him before that he should transfer him and work beside him so that it would be easier to promote him. But Wei Huatian was not ambitious and just wanted to stay at home and didn't want to go out and fight. So Yuan Mu let him do what he wanted.

Wei Huatian is now the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau in Cidu, at the deputy division level. He has not made much progress after so many years since graduation, and Yuan Mu is unlikely to help him. Classmates are classmates, and if he is willing to come out, Yuan Mu will not be stingy in promoting him. But in this case, Yuan Mu will not help, as resources still need to be reserved for those in need.

Despite this, Yuan Mu's feelings for Wei Huatian have not changed. After all, they have been in the same dormitory for more than a year, and Yuan Mu is a nostalgic person. No matter what, he is still his friend and brother.

. . . . . . . . . . .

It was mid-September 1990. Accompanied by comrades from Organization Department Z, Yuan Mu went to Handong Province to take up his post. He met with a group of leading cadres of Handong Province.

The provincial party committee secretary and chairman of the People's Congress, and the first secretary of the provincial military region, Guo Wenbin; the provincial party committee deputy secretary and governor, Wen Huarong; the provincial party committee deputy secretary and secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Liang Qunfeng; the provincial party committee organization minister, Dong Hou; the provincial party committee propaganda minister, Lai Jianbai; the executive vice governor, Bi Qisui; the provincial party committee united front minister, Liu Jianye; the provincial military region political commissar, Yu Maoxun; the provincial discipline inspection committee secretary, Li Zijin; the provincial party committee secretary, Li Jianming; the provincial party committee standing committee member and Jingzhou party committee secretary, Teng Pengtian;

Currently, there are eleven members in the Standing Committee of the Handong Provincial Party Committee. On the one hand, this is because Liang Qunfeng holds two positions at the same time, and on the other hand, the economy has not yet developed and there are no economically developed cities serving as members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.

The provincial party committee naturally welcomed Yuan Mu's arrival. There was no other way. They had to welcome him even if they didn't want to. He was airdropped from Kyoto. There was no other way. At the meeting, comrades from the Z organization department also announced Yuan Mu's appointment, and proposed to appoint Comrade Yuan Mu as member of the Standing Committee and acting secretary of the Luzhou Municipal Party Committee of Handong Province.

Yuan Mu will only remove the word "acting" after the vote of the National People's Congress. As for serving concurrently as the director of the National People's Congress and the first secretary of the military sub-district, you will have to wait. It is impossible for you to hold both positions concurrently at the beginning.

After finishing the work, Yuan Mu temporarily stayed in the guesthouse of the Provincial Party Committee. In the next two days, the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee would take him to Luzhou to take up his post. As for Zhou Xiaobai and Yuan Zhihao, they had already arrived in Luzhou. Zhou Xiaobai's work had been arranged, and Yuan Zhihao's school had also been arranged. Once Yuan Mu arrived, his family could live in the staff quarters of the Municipal Party Committee.

In the evening, Yuan Mu invited Liu Jianye and Yu Maoxun to dinner, and the two readily agreed. When Zhou Zhenjun was here, they had always followed Zhou Zhenjun's footsteps. Although he is gone now, Yuan Mu is here. How could a 36-year-old municipal party committee secretary at the bureau level have no future?

The most important thing is that Yuan Mu has the support of the Zhou family. Perhaps some people are not aware of this, but the two direct descendants of Zhou Zhenjun are very clear about it. Yu Maoxun is a military man and he has had a long-standing friendship with the Zhou family. Liu Jianye was developed by Zhou Zhenjun later. Although the help these two people can give to him in the provincial party committee is limited, after all, they are members of the provincial party committee standing committee and have one vote, and the provincial party committee must also consider their opinions.

The next day, Yuan Mu went to meet Zhang Shaohuai. He hadn't seen this old leader for some time. Zhang Shaohuai was naturally very happy about Yuan Mu's arrival.

On the morning of the third day, Yuan Mu called Lao Gao.

On the other side, in Gao Yuliang’s office at Handong University of Political Science and Law.

At this time, Gao Yuliang was chatting with his favorite student Qi Tongwei.

"Teacher, Teacher Liang has been a little too enthusiastic towards me recently. What should I do?" Qi Tongwei is 22 years old this year and is currently a first-year graduate student.

"Tongwei, I think Teacher Liang Lu also appreciates your talent. Don't be too sensitive. After all, there is a ten-year age difference between you two. Don't think too much." Gao Yuliang comforted Qi Tongwei.

"But teacher..." Qi Tongwei was about to say something with a bitter look on his face when the phone on Gao Yuliang's desk rang.

"Oh, Tongwei, please wait a moment." Gao Yuliang waved his hand and then answered the phone.

"Hello, I'm Gao Yuliang."

"Old Gao, how have you been lately?" A very familiar voice came from the phone. Gao Yuliang was overjoyed when he heard the other party's voice.

"Lao Yuan!"

"Haha! Lao Gao!"

"Old Yuan! How do you have time to call me? You are a very busy man. I have heard about what happened in Harbin. You have built District 1 into the most economically developed area in the entire Heilongjiang Province!" Gao Yuliang said with a laugh.

"Hey! Those are just empty names. Are you busy lately?"

"It's okay. Did you come to see me?" Gao Yuliang joked with a smile on his face.

"Guess where I am now?" Yuan Mu said with a laugh.

Gao Yuliang was stunned for a moment, then spoke tentatively.

"You came to Handong Province?"

"Hey! You guessed it right! I'm in Handong Province!"

"Is this true? Where are you? I'm going to find you. We haven't seen each other for a long time!" Gao Yuliang stood up and asked in surprise.

"I'm at the Provincial Party Committee Guesthouse. Don't worry. I'll wait for you to get off work. We can have a drink together after get off work."
