South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Chapter 363 Daoli District is developing rapidly

As Daoli District develops more and more rapidly, various entertainment facilities have also emerged. Just last year, karaoke spread from Hong Kong Island to Harbin, and the first karaoke bar in Harbin was established near Zhaolin in Daoli District.

This is the most economically developed and populous place in Daoli District. The population of Daoli District is increasing now, and many people have come here to settle down. Some people have already booked the pre-sale houses before the residential area is completed, and the sales are quite good.

The land price in Daoli District has been soaring rapidly. It now ranks first in Harbin. It is not only first in the economy, but also first in real estate prices. This is an inevitable trend of economic development.

The original residents of Daoli District are very happy. The higher the land price, the more valuable their houses are. They can get a lot of money whether they sell them or have their houses demolished in the future.

However, economic development also means that it will breed fertile ground for crime. Recently, Yuan Mu has noticed something amiss. It seems that the security environment in Daoli District is getting worse and worse. Although he usually focuses on economic development most of the time, it does not mean that he does not care about other issues.

When the first karaoke bar was established in Daoli District, Yuan Mu became alert. This place has both good and bad sides. It can entertain the public, but it is more likely to breed crime. Most of the people who come here are drunk. Some of them have drunk two taels of cat urine and don’t know who they are, and they show off their power.

Sitting in the office, Yuan Mu picked up the phone on the table and dialed the call, which was quickly connected.

"Hello, who is it?"

"I'm District Committee member Yuan Mu, where's your director Liu Jun?"

The voice on the phone paused for a moment, then rang again soon.

"Secretary Yuan, Director Liu just went out."

"Ask him where he went, find him, and ask him to come to my office as soon as possible. That's it." After saying that, Yuan Mu hung up the phone.

Liu Jun is now a deputy-division-level cadre, but Yuan Mu did not keep him in the special police system. That was not his place. In April this year, Yuan Mu transferred him out and came to Daoli District to serve as the director of the Public Security Bureau.

The former Public Security Bureau Chief Cao Baosheng was promoted half a level by him and joined the district standing committee as the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. In the past two years, Cao Baosheng has been working hard and never complaining. If Yuan Mu told him to go east, he would not hit west; if he was asked to chase a dog, he would definitely not scold a chicken.

Moreover, he had outstanding working ability and had made some achievements, so Yuan Mu promoted him to the district standing committee. The former secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Li Zhao, was also promoted by him and now serves as the executive deputy district mayor.

The former executive deputy district mayor Xin Maoxue was appointed as the deputy secretary of the district committee. The previous deputy secretary Hu Tian was transferred away by him. This guy was too conservative and sometimes he did not follow his words, which made him very unhappy.

Although the promotion from the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission to the Executive Deputy District Mayor did not seem to be much of a promotion and could be said to be a horizontal transfer, but transferring from the political and legal department to the government department was a very big leap. Yuan Mu observed him for a long time and found that he had unique insights into economic construction, so he made the effort to transfer him out.

After all, there is limited development and room for advancement in the political and legal departments, but it is different in government departments. After completing this term, he can smoothly move up to the next level and reach the deputy department level.

There is also Xin Maoxue, who is a very good person. Yuan Mu admires him very much and he is very capable. Yuan Mu plans to train him to take over Ning Hong's position. After Yuan Mu is transferred, Ning Hong will most likely take over his position as secretary, and then Xin Maoxue will naturally take over the position of district chief.

Of course, Daoli District is a hot spot now. Whether Ning Hong can keep the position of district party secretary depends on how much support Song Hongkuo gives him.

Especially this year, many people in the Municipal Party Committee have talked to me openly or secretly. Municipal Party Committee Secretary Xu Guang has also talked to me many times. On the surface, he was concerned about the economic development of Daoli District, but in fact he was trying to find out his opinion indirectly.

Yuan Mu is no longer as happy now as he was before. He is a member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee. He has a crucial vote in the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee meeting, and his say is very important. Except for the secretary, the mayor and the deputy secretary who can suppress him, everyone else is inferior to him.

In this day and age, economy comes first, and officials who can engage in economic development are very popular. If Yuan Mu is promoted normally, it is very likely that he will be promoted to the position of deputy secretary of the municipal party committee in one step. If he is not qualified enough, he may even jump to the mayor and directly reach the vice-ministerial level.

However, Yuan Mu himself knew that it was impossible. He had been in office for too short a time. Although he had made great achievements, it was impossible for him to be promoted to deputy minister in one step. He needed to at least train at the grassroots level for a few more years and experience several cities before he could be considered for promotion.

. . . . . . . . . .

About an hour later, there was a knock on Yuan Mu's office door.

"Come in!" Yuan Mu shouted without raising his head.

The door was pushed open, and a man in his thirties wearing a Type 89 police uniform walked in. He had a serious look on his face, but when he saw Yuan Mu, he immediately turned into a playful smile.

"Master!" The person who came was Liu Jun.

Yuan Mu and Liu Jun have known each other for many years. Over the years, he has witnessed the ignorant young man grow into a mature people's policeman, and he feels very gratified.

Liu Jun is almost thirty years old, but he is still like a child in front of him and often smiles at him.

However, Yuan Mu was very dissatisfied with his work recently. The security environment in the district had changed so much all of a sudden, and he, as the police chief, had an unshirkable responsibility!

Yuan Mu deliberately frowned and said in a low voice.

"Master, how many times have I told you to use your job title when you are working?"

Liu Jun's smile froze and he quickly stood at attention.

"Yes, Secretary Yuan!"

"Tell me, why is the security in the district so bad recently, especially in Zhaolin, Shangzhi and Tongjiang?"

"Master..." Liu Jun was about to speak, but when he met Yuan Mu's eyes he immediately changed his words.

"Secretary Yuan, this is what happened. Recently, many karaoke bars have opened in the district. Many young people like to go there. After drinking a little, they don't know who is who. Often, two gangs will fight if they say something wrong. We have tried to stop it many times, but it just keeps happening!" Liu Jun looked aggrieved.

Yuan Mu was also aware of this. It is said that people in Northeast China have hot tempers. In fact, this is also related to the geographical location. The winters in Northeast China are very cold, and most people are unwilling to stay outside for long. When two people meet, if there is something, you should say it quickly, because everyone is anxious to go home.
