South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Mr. Zhou didn't say anything, just looked at him with a smile.

"Oh! Then I really have to thank you very much." Yuan Mu immediately stood up and thanked you repeatedly.

"Sit! Sit!" Mr. Zhou waved his hand.

"I've already told you, don't be so polite. Compared to saving your life, what's the small favor I'm doing for you? Even without me, you can still come to Kyoto to take up a position. It's just a matter of where you'll be."

"With your ability, you can still have smooth sailing when you return to Ningyang after graduating from college. With your ability, you will be popular wherever you go."

"Uncle Zhou, please don't praise me like that. I take it seriously." Yuan Mu said jokingly.

"Haha!" Mr. Zhou and Zhou Xiaobai laughed immediately.

"It's okay, you can take it seriously, because I'm not lying."

"And this incident is not over yet. Some things need further investigation, but you will definitely get credit for your contribution. You will definitely be awarded a first-class merit."

"You were promoted too quickly, and it took you too short a time to reach the rank of section chief. Otherwise, with your achievements this time, it would not be impossible for you to be promoted to deputy director in one fell swoop." Old Zhou shook his head and smiled.

"Oh, first-class merit is enough. As for promotion to deputy director, let's talk about it later. I'm moving fast enough now. I'm afraid of falling." Yuan Mu said half-jokingly.

"Well, not bad. You have made such a great contribution, but you are neither arrogant nor impatient, neither greedy for credit nor reckless. Very good." Mr. Zhou nodded with satisfaction.

"I've thought about it. I'm still young anyway, so I should take this opportunity to improve myself. There will be opportunities in the future." Yuan Mu nodded with a smile.

"Yes, you still have many opportunities. You have already received many honors, including two first-class merits, one third-class merit, and a national public security system hero model. This is the highest honor in the public security system."

"Many people may not be able to win a first-class merit even after working as police officers for their entire lives. You are lucky enough to have achieved two at once, and also got an honorary title. These will be very beneficial for your future promotion." Old Zhou nodded with a smile.

"By the way, have you ever thought about working in Kyoto?" Zhou Xiaobai asked.

Yuan Mu was stunned, then slowly shook his head.

"Compared to Kyoto, I would rather work in the local area. After all, this is the capital. There are more crimes in the local area, and I am more needed there."

"But this place is also very dangerous. Many criminal cases occur across the country every day. You can often see them in newspapers. And then there are those drug dealers. They are all inhumane." Zhou Xiaobai frowned.

"It is dangerous for sure, but I want to say that since I put on this police uniform, I have forgotten how to write the word dangerous. Although our country has been reformed, the people in many places are still oppressed."

"The people there need me to save them. Although I cannot be a savior, I can do my best. As long as I find any violation of the law or crime, I will punish them severely!" Yuan Mu said firmly.

"Great!! Well said! If all the police in the country had the same belief as you, there wouldn't be so many crimes!" Mr. Zhou slammed the table and cheered loudly.

"Then don't you have any other ideas?" Zhou Xiaobai continued to ask, as if she was unwilling to give up. She didn't believe that there were such noble people.

"Of course I have. I am also a human being. As a human being, he will have selfish emotions. Danger is often accompanied by opportunities. Didn't I put my head on the belt for those two first-class merits?"

"But my gains are also huge. If it weren't for the last train hijacking case, I wouldn't have met Uncle Zhou, and I wouldn't have found such a good place to work." Yuan Mu said frankly.

In fact, Yuan Mu had already decided to cling to Zhou Zhennan. Now that he had decided to do so, there was no need to hide it. The difference in level between the two parties was too great. Only by opening his heart could the other party see your sincerity, and he might continue to help you in the future.

"Haha! Xiao Yuan! I admire your honesty! Everyone is selfish, no one is like this, it is unavoidable, but it depends on where the selfishness is used. Your selfishness is necessary, it's not shameful." Old Zhou laughed.

Now Zhou Zhennan is more and more satisfied with Yuan Mu. Of course, the most important factor is that he saved himself and Zhou Xiaobai. The second is because of Yuan Mu's ability, his way of dealing with people, and his character.

All these reasons combined made Zhou Zhennan admire him more and more.

Zhou Xiaobai looked at Yuan Mu who was chatting and laughing with her father. Her eyes were dazed for a moment and she couldn't help but recall the scene a few days ago.

She was present throughout the whole process and heard every move and every word of Yuan Mu clearly. Her playful smile at the beginning made her think that Yuan Mu was unreliable, but later she gradually discovered that he was the most reliable.

Until the last moment, when Yuan Mu fired that crucial shot, she felt that Yuan Mu was so handsome, especially when Yuan Mu dragged her away and pressed her under him just before the bomb exploded. At that moment, she felt extremely safe.

At the same time, the shadow of another person appeared in her mind. His name was Zhong Yuemin, a man she had always had a crush on. Now, she couldn't help but compare Zhong Yuemin and Yuan Mu.

In terms of appearance, Yuan Mu wins, and in terms of ability, Yuan Mu seems to be stronger as well, but when it comes to using sweet words to make girls happy, Yuan Mu is far inferior to Zhong Yuemin.

But soon, Zhou Xiaobai threw this idea out of his mind. What was he thinking about? He was really ill.

"Xiao Yuan, do you plan to stay in the Railway Police in the future?" asked Mr. Zhou.

"Who can tell what will happen in the future, but I guess it's like this for now." Yuan Mu shook his head.

"If you can get out of the railway, your development prospects will be more promising. After all, promotions on the railway are limited, and there are too few positions available," Mr. Zhou reminded.

"I understand this, but it's hard to let Director Zhang down. Let's do it first and we can talk about the future later." Yuan Mu said with a wry smile.

"Haha! I didn't expect you to be so loyal." Old Zhou said with a smile.

"I am just like this. If someone is nice to me, I must not let them down. This is how people should behave."

"Well, you are right. This is the basic requirement for being a human being." Mr. Zhou nodded in approval.

Just then, Zhou's mother, wearing an apron, came over and spoke with a smile.

"Okay, stop talking, let's eat!"

"Okay, Mom!" Zhou Xiaobai stood up and agreed.

"Let's go, Xiao Yuan, let's eat first. I have a bottle of good wine. Since you are here today, I will let you have a taste." Old Zhou also stood up and said with a smile.
