South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Chapter 231 Conversation, the road ahead

"Hey! Here I am!" Yuan Mu nodded with a smile. He had come to Zhou's house countless times. In fact, sometimes there was no need to be too polite. This person was definitely his mother-in-law.

"You guys sit down first, I'll cook!" Zhou's mother smiled and walked into the kitchen.

In the living room.

Yuan Mu, Zhou Zhennan, and Zhou Zhenjun sat around the coffee table. As for Zhou Xiaobai, she helped Zhou's mother cook.

"Xiao Mu! I heard that you killed two gangsters and subdued one gangster by yourself this time?" Zhou Zhenjun asked with a smile after taking a sip of tea.

"Oh, yes." Yuan Mu nodded with a smile.

"Please tell me and my brother what happened exactly. I was quite curious after hearing what you said. I heard that this group of bandits is not ordinary!" Zhou Zhenjun asked curiously.

"No problem." Yuan Mu nodded, put down the teacup and began to tell the story.

Yuan Mu now talked about the school training, then the gunshots during the night shift, and then he drove at full speed to chase the enemy, there was a fierce gun battle on the road, and finally he successfully closed the net.

"Humph! These people really bring shame to us soldiers! They actually do such things!" Zhou Zhenjun snorted coldly.

"They were certainly wrong, but the two secretaries of the commune also had problems. Fortunately, they are all dead, otherwise I would definitely not forgive them!" Zhou Zhennan also snorted coldly, and a murderous intent spread.

Both of them were military men and had fought in wars, so they would not tolerate such things. Replacing a soldier's recruitment quota was unforgivable in their view.

"In fact, I think there are still many such things. Our soldiers have faith. If there is a way, they will not do this. Of course, there are also extreme ones. I have heard that there are many soldiers from our country in Hong Kong Island."

"They're robbing and kidnapping over there. The John Bull government has no way to deal with them. They've all been to the battlefield, so it's easy for them to deal with those policemen who only have 38 rifles in their hands." In fact, Yuan Mu wanted to talk about the treatment of soldiers, but after thinking about it, he didn't say it out loud. This was not something he could say.

"Well, I actually know about this, but there's nothing we can do about it. Guangdong Province is right next to Hong Kong Island, very close. They all sneak over there, and we can't stop them effectively. Also, our relationship with the John Bull government is not good. But in the end, Hong Kong Island is still our Hong Kong Island!" Zhou Zhennan also sighed.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Xiao Mu, when can you graduate? When will you marry my niece?" Zhou Zhenjun changed the subject and looked at Yuan Mu and smiled.

"Uncle San, it's almost time. If nothing goes wrong, I will be able to graduate in the middle of next year." Yuan Mu replied with a smile.

"Ah? Didn't you skip a grade and become a senior?" Zhou Zhennan asked puzzledly.

"I have already taught myself all the courses for my senior year and published several papers, so it should be no problem for me to graduate early."

"Oh my! You're doing great! You finished four years of college in less than two years?" Zhou Zhenjun was even more shocked.

"But there is a problem now. My teacher wants me to study for a master's degree, and I'm still considering it." Yuan Mu shook his head.

"Tsk! What are you still hesitating about? Study! You must study! Xiao Mu, let me tell you, you still need to have an academic degree. It is very important for future promotion!" Zhou Zhenjun said hurriedly.

"Xiao Mu, you still have to pursue graduate studies. Your third uncle is right. With a higher degree and your ability, promotion will not be a problem." Zhou Zhennan also nodded.

"But I don't want to go to school anymore. I want to go back to work. To be honest, I'm a little uncomfortable after being away from my job for such a long time. Although I have a position in the Criminal Investigation Corps, there is almost nothing to do. It's too boring." Yuan Mu said with a wry smile.

"You are still a workaholic! Okay, you can be listed as an applicant. With your learning ability, it will be no problem for you to study for a master's degree. You can also be listed as an applicant to work in a local area. It will be fine as long as you pass the exams. When you graduate, do you want to come to work in East Province?" Zhou Zhenjun laughed.

"Go away! Why go to East Province? Xiao Mu has graduated and he has to marry Xiao Bai first. How can they live apart right after getting married?" Zhou Zhennan glared at Zhou Zhenjun fiercely.

Zhou Zhenjun smiled but didn't say anything. He just mentioned it and didn't really want to transfer Yuan Mu to the East Province. Just like Zhou Zhennan said, the couple separated just after getting married? That was a joke!

In fact, compared to Eastern Province, Yuan Mu wants to return to the Northeast more. It is his hometown, and he wants to contribute to his hometown more.

However, this is not up to him, and Yuan Mu estimates that Zhou Zhennan has already paved the way for him, and he will take office directly when the time comes. Of course, this is just speculation, but it is probably very likely.

"Xiao Mu, do you still want to work in the railway industry after you graduate?" Zhou Zhenjun changed the subject.

"To be honest, I personally don't really want to do it, but I do feel a little embarrassed in front of Director Zhang. They sent me out, and in the end I didn't go back. It's not good." Yuan Mu shook his head.

"Okay, you don't have to mention this matter anymore. I have already discussed this issue with Xiao Zhang. You don't have to go back to the railway when the time comes. The restrictions are too great." Zhou Zhennan said from the side.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Mu's eyes lit up. This was a good thing. It would be best if he didn't have to offend Zhang Shaohuai!

"Besides, your old leader may have to move to another place." Zhou Zhennan smiled mysteriously.

"Ah? Director Zhang is being transferred? Where?" Yuan Mu was stunned. Was it Mr. Zhou who helped Director Zhang get transferred this time? Or was it something else? Was it a promotion or a lateral transfer?

"Don't worry about this. You will understand it clearly when the time comes." Zhou Zhennan waved his hand.

Seeing this, Yuan Mu stopped hesitating. Since Zhou Zhennan didn't say anything, he would just wait. Or he could ask when he visited him during the Chinese New Year. He was not that curious, because curiosity killed the cat.

"What are your plans for the future? Are you always stuck in the police, procuratorate and courts?" Zhou Zhenjun picked up the cigarette box from the coffee table and gave one to Zhou Zhennan and then to Yuan Mu. Soon smoke filled the room.

"My ability is limited to politics and law. If I were asked to be in charge of government, I don't think I would be able to do it now." Yuan Mu exhaled a puff of smoke and smiled.

"But it's not good to stay in the political and legal field all the time. The restrictions will become greater as time goes by. But there's no need to rush. You are still young, less than 30 years old. Besides, you will probably be a deputy director after graduation this time, right?" Zhou Zhenjun said with a smile.

"If nothing unexpected happens, I should be the deputy director." Yuan Mu was quite happy when talking about this. Deputy director, this is a height that most people can never reach in their lifetime.

"There's no surprise at all. With your merits, your abilities, and your status as a college student, I would say it's not too much to give you a full-time position. But age is a problem, so you need to wait a while." Zhou Zhenjun waved his hand.

In the evening, the three of them drank and talked a lot together, and it was not until after ten o'clock that Yuan Mu said goodbye and left.
