South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

"This..." Wu Huifen frowned and hesitated. To be honest, she didn't want to be separated from Gao Yuliang, but seeing that Gao Yuliang had a bright future, she didn't want to hold him back.

"Lao Gao, how about I quit my job at the university and come to work in Luzhou with you?"

"No! Your job is so good. If you go to Luzhou, at most you can teach at the university there. Luzhou University is far worse than Handong University of Political Science and Law." Gao Yuliang waved his hand and refused immediately.

"But if I don't resign, I can't go to Luzhou with you. Although the distance is not far, I can't commute from Luzhou to Jingzhou every day."

"It's okay. When the holidays come, you can bring Fangfang to visit me in Luzhou. It's not easy for me to get this opportunity, so I have to let you and Fangfang down."

"We are not wronged. You have a bright future now and we can't hold you back. Just go ahead and do your job. I'm at home."

"Thank you Huifen."

"Why are you saying this? We are husband and wife, we should understand each other." Wu Huifen said with a smile.

"I don't know when I can come back after I leave Jingzhou this time." Gao Yuliang sighed while looking at the ceiling.

"By the way, where did Senior Brother assign you?"

"I don't know. I didn't ask. We can't ask about this matter. But I know that Lao Yuan will definitely not treat me unfairly. I think it is most likely the Municipal Party Committee Office."

"The Municipal Party Committee Office is not bad. If I work there for two years, I might even be able to go to the local level."

"Yeah, that's what I think. Work in the Municipal Party Committee Office for two years, then go to the locality to be a county magistrate or county party committee secretary, and take one step at a time." Gao Yuliang nodded with a smile.

Now, it doesn’t matter what Gao Yuliang does. As long as he has the opportunity, he will be able to govern a region sooner or later.

Three days later, in the office of the municipal party committee secretary of Luzhou City Government, Handong Province.

"Secretary Yuan, here is the personnel list." Municipal Party Committee Secretary General Han Qingcheng handed a document to Yuan Mu and said with a smile.

Yuan Mu has already taken office as the mayor of Luzhou City. He has attended the standing committee meetings and met with all the standing committee members. Generally speaking, he is quite satisfied with the mayor, Luan Xingxiu. He is not young anymore. He is 59 years old this year, which means that his retirement age is coming soon.

Yuan Mu is not interested in the next mayor. He doesn't care who it is. When he was the district mayor, he ignored the district party secretary. Now he is the municipal party secretary. There is no reason for him to be afraid of a mayor.

Mayor Luan obeyed his every word and was the first to nod in affirmation no matter what he said. Yes, what Secretary Yuan said made sense. Yuan Mu also knew that his time was almost up and there was no need to offend anyone anymore.

The deputy secretary of the municipal party committee is Kang Gaoyi, who is 51 years old this year. Yuan Mu's impression of him is that he is steady and composure, and his attitude towards him is okay.

Member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee and Minister of Propaganda, Xun Zhicheng, 54 years old.

Member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee and Minister of Organization, Dou Xuewen, 49 years old.

Member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee and Minister of United Front Work, Du Yuquan, 55 years old.

Municipal Party Committee Member Luzhou Military Sub-district Political Wei, Lu Gaoxuan, 53 years old.

Member of the Municipal Party Committee and Executive Vice Mayor, Shi Gaoye, 50 years old.

Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, Han Qingcheng, 48 years old.

Member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee and Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Cui Gaocen, 52 years old.

Member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Zong Yulong, 53 years old.

There are eleven standing committee members in total, but Yuan Mu has been here too shortly, so factions cannot be distinguished yet. However, all of them have reported their work to him, and Han Qingcheng, the secretary general of the municipal party committee, is the most active among them.

In fact, this is normal. If a secretary-general cannot maintain consistency with the municipal party secretary, then he basically cannot do his job, because one of his most important responsibilities is to assist the municipal party secretary in his work and to be the municipal party committee's chief steward.

The heads of various departments below also came. They did not dare not to come. The mayor would be leaving soon. Yuan Mu was the biggest man in the entire Luzhou city. They naturally knew who they should approach.

Yuan Mu took the document and began to read it. This time, Yuan Mu planned to choose a secretary carefully. He didn't have much experience in Daoli District, and Daoli District was small in size, so there were relatively fewer things to do.

But Luzhou is different. Luzhou’s area is much larger than Daoli District, its population is much larger, and its government affairs are relatively much more.

"Comrade Qingcheng, do you have any opinions?" Yuan Mu looked up at Han Qingcheng and said.

Han Qingcheng hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.

"Secretary Yuan, there are two candidates."

"Oh? Tell me about it." Yuan Mu smiled, crossed his legs, and took out a cigarette.

Han Qingcheng walked up to help Yuan Mu light his cigarette and then sat opposite him.

"One is Liu Ziyi and the other is Luo Hongzhe."

Yuan Mu nodded and then looked at the information on the table. Soon he saw the information of these two people.

Liu Ziyi, male, born in 1959, 31 years old this year, graduated from Handong University, his parents are both local workers.

Luo Hongzhe, male, was born in 1961, is 29 years old this year, graduated from Handong University with a master's degree in literature, and his parents are both employees of public institutions.

Originally Yuan Mu didn't pay much attention to it, but when he saw Luo Hongzhe's mother's surname, he paused, then raised his head and glanced at Han Qingcheng.

"Comrade Qingcheng, is this Luo Hongzhe related to you in some way?"

Upon hearing this, Han Qingcheng stood up immediately.

"I'm sorry Secretary Yuan, I didn't mean to hide it. Luo Hongzhe is my distant nephew, but I am also promoting the talented regardless of relatives. Luo Hongzhe is indeed quite capable..."

Yuan Mu smiled and waved his hand to stop him from continuing.

"Okay, Comrade Qingcheng, I don't mean to blame you." After all, he was the first one to come to me, so I should be more tolerant of him.

"Thank you, Secretary Yuan." Hearing this, Han Qingcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, he took some risks in recommending Luo Hongzhe this time. His nephew had just been in the municipal party committee for two years. Some people knew about their relationship, and some leaders wanted to use him as a secretary, but Han Qingcheng did not agree.

His nephew is indeed capable, so Han Qingcheng is willing to help him and took the risk to recommend him to Yuan Mu today.

"Don't be so quick to thank me. Judging from the documents alone, Luo Hongzhe is indeed good, but we need to further investigate his specifics. If your nephew is not good enough, don't blame me for not giving you face."

"Secretary Yuan, you are showing the greatest love to this child by giving him this opportunity. Whether he can serve as your secretary or not, it is a great honor for him. I am naturally honored that you can give me this face. Thank you Secretary Yuan."
