South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Chapter 384: Visitors from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection

Yuan Mu naturally didn't know that Lu Yuejin broke a cup after he left. At this time, he came to the door of the office of Yang Jiaze, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!" The door of the outer office was not closed. This was the office of Yang Jiaze's secretary Zheng Tianmin, and the door was usually not closed.

"Please come in." Zheng Tianmin was writing something at his desk at this time. When he heard someone knocking on the door, he answered and stood up. When he saw the person coming, he immediately smiled.

"Secretary Yuan, looking for a leader?"

"Long time no see, Director Zheng. Is Secretary Yang here?" Yuan Mu nodded with a smile.

"Yes, I'll go and inform them for you." Zheng Tianmin stood up and knocked on the door.

Yuan Mu also quickly entered Yang Jiaze's office.

"Xiao Yuan, how come you have time to come here today? You are a very busy man." Yang Jiaze was very happy to see Yuan Mu and started joking with him.

"Oh, I've been really busy lately and haven't had time to come see you. Please don't blame me." Yuan Mu also laughed.

"How come you have time to come to the provincial party committee today? Is there something?" Yang Jiaze asked as he handed Yuan Mu a cigarette.

"Yes, Governor Lu is looking for me."

"Huh? What does Lu Yuejin want to see you for?" Yang Jiaze raised his eyebrows.

"Hey! It's nothing serious. I'm just trying to intercede for the newly transferred executive vice mayor of Harbin."

"Oh? This is interesting. Tell me what's going on." Yang Jiaze said with interest.

Then Yuan Mu briefly recounted the whole story. After listening to Yuan Mu's narration, Yang Jiaze frowned.

"Xiao Yuan, you really offended Lu Yuejin. Aren't you afraid that he will make things difficult for you?"

"I'm upright and honest, why should I be afraid of him? Can he just dismiss me directly?" Yuan Mu smiled and shook his head.

"That's not possible. He doesn't have the final say in dismissing you. We have to hold a standing committee meeting. Your achievements are just a passing mention in the eyes of Secretary Zeng and Governor Lu. Who can dismiss you if they don't agree? But it's really unwise for you to do this."

"In fact, I know that I really don't want to offend Governor Lu, but there is no other way. If I agree to him, what will happen if other leaders do the same thing to me in the future? If this goes on, I won't have to do my job anymore. What will other investors think?"

"Well, what you said makes sense, but it's not a big deal. He won't take direct action against you. You don't have to worry about the provincial party committee. I'll help you and it won't be a big problem."

"Uncle Yang, then I would like to thank you first." Yuan Mu said with a smile.

Yang Jiaze is now very high-spirited. He had a talk with Yuan Mu and Zhou Xiaobai when Yuan Mu just took office. Since then, he found a time to visit Zhou Zhennan in Kyoto in person, and the relationship between the two has been reconciled. It is said that his position is also going to move, and it is estimated that he will take a small step up in the next term. It is not clear where exactly he will go.

. . . . . . . . . . .

It was November now. The temperature in Northeast China in November was much colder than that in other regions. After getting off work early that day, Yuan Mu and Zhou Xiaobai went to the affiliated primary school together to pick up their son from school.

At present, his second son Zhou Zhiming is in Kyoto, being taken care of by Tang Zhenghua, but Zhou Xiaobai was worried about Yuan Mu and Yuan Zhihao, so he returned to Harbin first.

It has been two years since the second child was born. As a father, he has seen the second child only a handful of times. He is not a qualified father. But there is no other way. When you become an official, you must give up some things. He can only wait for the second child to grow up a little bit and keep him by his side.

We don’t know where he will go next, but he will probably leave Heilongjiang Province. I’ll ask my father-in-law about where he will go when I return to Kyoto this year.

Soon, Yuan Zhihao walked out of the school carrying a small schoolbag. When he saw Yuan Mu standing next to Zhou Xiaobai, his eyes lit up, because Yuan Mu rarely picked him up from school.

"Dad, Mom!"

"Xiaohao! Are you tired from going to school?" Yuan Mu picked up his son and asked with a smile.

"I'm not tired. The knowledge I learned is too simple." Who would have thought that Yuan Zhihao would just shake his head.

"Hey! Boy, why are you so arrogant?"

"Xiao Mu, this is true. Their teacher has already talked to me. With Xiaohao's grades now, it's meaningless for him to continue staying in the first grade. The teacher has already planned to let him skip a grade. He can now solve third-grade or even fourth-grade problems." Zhou Xiaobai said beside him.

Yuan Mu was stunned. He really didn't know about this.

"Why shouldn't I know?"

"What can you know? Apart from what happened in Daoli District, you don't care about other things." Zhou Xiao rolled his eyes at him.

"Oh, this is my fault. I'm too busy and neglected your feelings. So, I will take one day every week to spend time with you." Yuan Mu also realized at this time that he had neglected his family.

Many senior executives have neglected their families due to being busy with work and ended up in trouble. He doesn't want his son to become a playboy and betray his father like Zhao Ruilong did.

The family of three talked and laughed as they walked towards home. They did not drive but rode bicycles. After all, it was time to get off work, so it was not impossible to take the bus. The main reason was that Yuan Mu did not want Yuan Zhihao's identity to be exposed. When his No. 1 district committee car was driven out, many people would know him, which would be detrimental to Yuan Zhihao's future growth.

He didn't want Yuan Zhihao to write him an essay in the future, "My Father, the District Party Secretary". If he really did write it, he would be so embarrassed.

When Yuan Mu's family of three just walked to the gate of the municipal party committee's staff quarters, a car stopped them and two men in Zhongshan suits got out.

Yuan Mu raised his eyebrows. He saw the license plate of the car clearly. It was the car of the Provincial Party Committee.

"Who are you?" Yuan Mu stepped forward and asked.

"Comrade Yuan Mu, we are from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. We need your cooperation in the investigation of some matters." One of the men took out his ID and placed it in front of Yuan Mu.

Yuan Mu knew at a quick glance that the certificate was authentic. If the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection came to him, it must be that someone had reported him. Before he could say anything, Zhou Xiaobai became unhappy and walked to Yuan Mu's side.

"What are you going to do!"

"We have an investigation that requires Comrade Yuan Mu's cooperation. Comrade Yuan Mu, please cooperate and come with us."

"What right do you have to arrest people? Do you have evidence?" Over the years, Zhou Xiaobai's temper has diminished a lot since she has been with Yuan Mu, but this does not mean that she has no temper. They want to arrest her husband in front of her today, which is simply outrageous. If the tiger doesn't show its power, people really think she is Hello Kitty!
