South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

The car drove all the way to a three-story building in Heping District, Ningyang.

This building looks very grand, with the words Ningyang Railway Public Security Bureau written on the door.

I followed Director Lin up the stairs and arrived at the door of a room on the left side of the third floor. I saw a sign on the door that read "Director's Office".

Looking at Director Lin in front of him, Yuan Mu was still confused. Does he need the director of public security to accompany him when meeting the director?

"Xiao Yuan, wait for me here." Director Lin gave instructions and then knocked on the door and entered.

Now Yuan Mu understood that Director Lin might have something to report to Director Zhang, so he waited patiently.

About twenty minutes later, Director Lin walked out of the office.

"Xiao Yuan, I'll leave first. The director is waiting for you. Go in." Director Lin smiled and patted Yuan Mu's shoulder.

"Okay, then take care." Yuan Mu nodded and watched Director Lin leave.

Taking a deep breath, Yuan Mu came to the director's office and knocked on the door.

"Dong dong."

"Click!" The door was opened from the inside, and a man about thirty years old appeared in front of him.

"Comrade Yuan Mu?" the man asked with a smile.

"Ah, I'm Yuan Mu, you..." Yuan Mu looked at the other person and guessed that he should be Director Zhang's secretary.

"Hello, Comrade Yuan Mu, I am Director Zhang's secretary, my name is Qin Jun." The man smiled and extended his hand to Yuan Mu.

"Hey, hello, Secretary Qin." Yuan Mu quickly shook hands with him.

This is a big deal. Although he is a secretary, he is the secretary of the director. The Ningyang Railway Public Security Bureau is a full-time department-level unit, and it has a secretariat department under it. This Qin Jun is most likely the chief of the secretariat department, a full-time department-level cadre.

"Comrade Yuan Mu, please go in quickly. The leader is waiting for you." Qin Jun said with a smile.

"Okay." Yuan Mu smiled and nodded to him, then followed Qin Jun.

Director Zhang’s office has two doors. The outside is where the secretary works, and the inside is the director’s office.

In addition to assisting him with his work, the secretary also needs to help him deal with daily visits from people. If the director does not want to see them, the secretary will step in to stop these people.

Qin Jun walked into Director Zhang's office.

"Leader, Comrade Yuan Mu is here."

"Oh? Let him in." A majestic voice sounded.

"Yes." Qin Jun nodded, then turned around and looked at Yuan Mu.

Yuan Mu nodded and walked into the office. He saw that the area of ​​the office was not small but not too big, probably around 50 to 60 square meters. There was a large desk against the wall, and a middle-aged man in a police uniform was sitting there.

"Report! Yuan Mu is here to report!" Yuan Mu stepped forward, stood at attention and saluted.

When Director Zhang saw Yuan Mu, he immediately laughed and stood up.

"Comrade Xiao Yuan, we meet again. Please sit down. Xiao Qin, go and pour some tea!" Director Zhang walked to the sofa with a smile and waved to Yuan Mu.

"Yes!" Yuan Mu saluted again, then walked to sit next to Director Zhang, but his back was straight and he did not dare to relax.

"Comrade Xiao Yuan, don't be so nervous. Relax a little. I'm not calling you here to give you orders." Director Zhang said with a smile.

"Yes! Thank you, leader!" Yuan Mu then relaxed a little, but did not dare to relax completely.

"You handled this drug smuggling case very well. Police from all over the country have sent me congratulatory messages. If it weren't for you, this case would not have gone so smoothly." Director Zhang said with a smile.

"It's all thanks to our comrades. I'm just one person, but the comrades still cooperated well." Yuan Mu waved his hands quickly.

Director Zhang smiled and said nothing, but waved to Qin Jun. The other party understood and quickly brought over a box of cigarettes.

"Xiao Yuan, would you like a cigarette?"

Yuan Mu saw Director Zhang took out two cigarettes, obviously wanting to give them to him. He didn't hesitate and took the cigarettes with both hands. He flipped his right hand and a lighter appeared in his hand and lit them for Director Zhang.

However, this move left Director Zhang stunned.

"How did you make this lighter?"

"Oh, I was just a little quick and took it out of my pocket." Yuan Mu secretly thought that he was impatient because he took the lighter out of the space.

"Oh." Director Zhang was a little skeptical but didn't say much.

"By the way, Director Song from the Municipal Bureau called me and said that he would like to invite you to assist the anti-drug brigade in its work. What do you think?" Director Zhang then changed the subject.

Yuan Mu was stunned, then he looked at Director Zhang carefully. Seeing that he was looking at him, his heart skipped a beat. This was a life-threatening question. Was he testing him or something?

"Leader, is it a secondment or something else?" Yuan Mu asked carefully.

"It's called a secondment, but there's no time limit." Director Zhang said calmly.

"Then I'll listen to you. If you tell me to go, then I'll go." Yuan Mu said without hesitation.

He could hear that this matter obviously made Director Zhang unhappy. From what he said, the Municipal Bureau might want to transfer him directly there, but Director Zhang disagreed, so they sent him a secondment. But as time goes on, this secondment might become a transfer order.

Sure enough, when Director Zhang heard Yuan Mu’s words, he immediately laughed.

"Okay, there's no rush for this matter. The New Year is coming soon, and there's still time to discuss this issue after the New Year. Don't feel any psychological burden, just handle the case in your hands well. I have high hopes for you."

"Yes, I will not let you down."

"Oh, by the way, the bureau has places for outstanding cadres to go out for further studies every year. You are young and outstanding enough. Do you want to go out for further studies?" Director Zhang asked with a smile, flicking the ash off his cigarette.

Yuan Mu was delighted, but police training usually involves going to the Police Academy, which was not what Yuan Mu wanted. He hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

"Boss, of course I want to go for further studies, but I want to go to university next year."

"Take the college entrance examination? Is that a good thing? Are you sure?" Upon hearing this, Director Zhang was stunned at first, then asked.

"I still have some confidence. I have been taking time to read books. But now I am worried that if I go to university, then my work here..." Yuan Mu looked embarrassed.

"You don't have to worry about this matter. As long as you can get into university, you can go. Now DZY encourages cadres to go to university. If you have the ability, you can go. As for your job at that time, you don't have to worry about it. Just see which university you will go to. If possible, the bureau will help you apply for a place and let you work locally, studying and working at the same time." Director Zhang spoke directly.

Yuan Mu was delighted, this was great. He was afraid that he would waste these years in college. Although academic qualifications are important, time is also precious.
