South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Chapter 359 Yuan Zhihao's Changes

As the end of the year approaches, Yuan Mu is busier than before. As his status increases, more and more people come to visit him. He didn't feel anything when he was in Kyoto before. Although he was at the same level at that time, he didn't have as many things to do as he does now.

To put it bluntly, when he was the captain of the special police detachment, the power he held was not as great as it is now. He is now the top leader of a district. Although he is acting in that position, he is still the top leader.

He is in charge of the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the entire district, and the right or wrong of his policies directly affects the well-being of the people below.

Moreover, he holds the official titles of many people. He cannot directly appoint division-level cadres, he must go through the municipal party committee, but he can decide on section-level cadres with just one word. Whether they are promoted or not is a matter of his word. Just imagine, how much power does this mean?

Recently, Zhang Meng also came to visit his home. Yuan Mu visited him in person when he took office in Daoli District. At that time, Zhang Meng was already the deputy warden of Harbin No. 1 Prison and a deputy division-level cadre.

After consulting Zhang Meng's personal wishes, he transferred him out of the judicial system and appointed him as the executive deputy procurator of Daoli District Procuratorate, which was also at the deputy division level.

Zhang Meng has been in prison for too long. If he doesn't make outstanding achievements in the future, he will probably only be promoted to the deputy bureau level. However, he is already very satisfied with this. At least the conditions in the procuratorate are much better than those in prison.

Zhang Meng helped him a lot in the past, and now he has repaid the favor. If there is a chance in the future, he will give him another push. If not, then he can only gain experience on his own.

When Zhang Meng came, he brought two packs of cigarettes and two bottles of wine. Yuan Mu could clearly see that Zhang Meng had become estranged from him. Perhaps it was because of his current status, the gap between him and him was getting wider and wider. Back then, he was just a small prison guard, and the other was the warden.

And now, he is the executive deputy procurator of the district procuratorate, and Yuan Mu is the top leader of the district. It is not an exaggeration to describe the distance between the two as a world of difference.

Yuan Mu wanted to shorten the distance between them. After all, he was not an unkind person. He was indeed very nice to his old friends and cared about them. But it turned out to be difficult. Even though he was very kind, there was still some distance between him and the other party.

Helpless, Yuan Mu did not force it. He only accepted a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of wine from Zhang Meng. They were not good ones, so he did not refuse. This was just normal interaction between friends. Even if someone wanted to make a fuss, they couldn't do anything.

The reason why he accepted it was not because he was short of this little thing, but because he didn't want to give Zhang Meng a feeling of superiority.

Except for him, he confiscated all the things sent by other people, including his secretary Song Zian. Too many people came to see him during this period. There were so many standing committee members in the district alone, and leaders at all levels in the district had also come. Yuan Mu also selected who he would meet.

He has met with the top leaders, such as the street leaders and the district bureau leaders. As for those below him, sorry, I won’t meet them. There are so many of them. How can he meet them all?

Yuan Mu could actually understand why they came to visit him. He also had to see the leaders of the city and even the province.

Song Hongkuo, Xu Guang, Li Guoping, Ye Zhiyi and others in the city were all people he knew. As for other people, he did not visit them because there was no need and he didn't know them.

As for the province, he only visited Yang Jiaze and Organization Minister He Song. He Song was introduced to him by the Director of Organization Department Z who helped him take office. Since the New Year was approaching, he naturally had to pay a visit to improve his impression points.

In mid-January, Yuan Mu and Zhou Xiaobai boarded a plane and flew back to Kyoto to celebrate the New Year. They had been away for more than four months and were exhausted. It was time for them to take a break.

. . . . . . .

Kyoto, Zhou family.

"Son! Eldest son! " Yuan Mu shouted as soon as he entered the yard.

"Son, son?" Zhou Xiaobai was also looking for Yuan Zhihao everywhere.

"You're back." At this time, Zhou's mother Tang Zhenghua walked out of the house with a smile on her face.

"Mom!" The two greeted with a smile.

"Mom, where is Xiaohao?" Zhou Xiaobai asked.

"He's reading in the house." Tang Zhenghua pointed to the house and said with a smile.

"Oh! This kid has learned all the characters and is reading a book?" Yuan Mu asked in surprise.

"You, as parents, don't care about your child at all. Xiaohao has learned to read a long time ago. He learned it quickly when I taught him. Now he can read by himself without relying on pinyin." Tang Zhenghua glared at the two of them.

"Is it true?" After hearing this, Yuan Mu and the others were even more surprised.

You have to know that Yuan Zhihao is only four years old this year, and only three years old. When other children of this age are running around, his son has already started to study?

"Let me see what's going on." As they said that, Yuan Mu and Zhou Xiaobai walked into the house and came to the door of a study on the second floor. Yuan Mu was about to push the door open but was stopped by Zhou Xiaobai.

"What are you doing?"

"Knock on the door."

"No need." Yuan Mu didn't care much. After all, Yuan Zhihao was still too young.

"Tsk! How is it unnecessary? Educating children must start with oneself. Knocking on the door before entering a room is the most basic courtesy." Zhou Xiao rolled his eyes at him.

"Okay, what you said makes sense." Yuan Mu had no choice but to reach out and knock on the door.

Soon, the door was opened, and a small person appeared in front of the two. Yuan Zhihao looked up and was immediately delighted when he saw that it was Yuan Mu and Zhou Xiaobai.

"Dad, Mom!"

"My dear son! Do you miss your daddy?" Yuan Mu was immediately happy when he saw the other person and picked him up.

In fact, what neither Yuan Mu nor Zhou Xiaobai noticed was that the moment Yuan Zhihao was picked up, a look of helplessness appeared on his face, but he quickly concealed it.

"I thought about it!" Yuan Zhihao said in a baby voice.

"I heard from your grandma that you can read books now. Can you let daddy see what book you are reading?" Yuan Mu carried Yuan Zhihao into the study.

"Dad! Put me down!" When Yuan Zhihao heard this, he immediately struggled out of Yuan Mu's arms and ran to the desk.

"Slow down." Zhou Xiaobai said quickly.

"Oh, it's okay, he's just a boy, it's okay even if he gets bumped into something." Yuan Mu waved his hand.

The area of ​​this study is not small. It seems that the old couple specially made it for Yuan Zhihao. There are several bookcases in it, which contain many books.

"Xiaohao! Tell mom what book you are reading?" Zhou Xiaobai walked over with a smile.

"Mom, this is what I'm reading." Yuan Zhihao picked up a book from the desk and said with a smile.

Zhou Xiaobai stepped forward, took the book and read it. It was "Journey to the West".
