Name: My father Yuan Mu

In the evening, Yuan Zhihao had a meal at Bai's house, but did not drink any alcohol. In fact, Bai Erru wanted to have a drink with Yuan Zhihao, but was stopped by Bai's mother and Bai Xiaohe because Yuan Zhihao still had to drive.

After Yuan Zhihao left, the Bai family of three sat around on the sofa.

"Mom and Dad, what do you think of Xiaohao?" Bai Xiaohe asked her parents.

"Well, the boy is good, polite, good-looking, and has a good personality." Bai's mother nodded with a smile.

"Hmph! Superficial!" Bai Erru snorted after taking a sip of tea.

"You are not superficial, then tell me." Bai's mother glared at him and said.

"Good looks are just external. We should focus on the inner qualities. This young man is definitely not an ordinary person. His conversation and temperament are not something that ordinary people can cultivate. He was a little nervous when he first saw me, but he quickly recovered and his words and actions were very appropriate."

"The young man said his father works in Party building at the Handong Provincial Party Committee. Being able to work at the Provincial Party Committee is no ordinary person, especially one who's involved in Party building. I've also made inquiries. His father is 49 years old this year. I think he's at least a deputy director-level cadre."

"And the young man's mother said she is a doctor. I think she is at least a chief physician. This young man and our Xiaohe are a perfect match." Bai Erru's analysis was very logical.

In fact, he was already close to the truth, but certain aspects limited his imagination, and he would never think that Yuan Zhihao's parents would be higher-class people.

Bai Xiaohe was confused by what she heard, because she had never thought about this aspect. She was with Yuan Zhihao not because of anything else, but mainly because of this person, nothing more.

"Well, I think so. The child is indeed not an ordinary person. He must have had a good family education." Bai's mother agreed.

"By the way, Xiaohe, you have been with him for more than a year, but he never mentioned his family matters to you?" Bai Erru looked at Bai Xiaohe and asked.

"No, he only told me twice before, and I never asked again." Bai Xiaohe shook her head.

"You kid, you've been with me for more than a year and you don't even ask such basic questions." Bai's mother rolled her eyes.

"Mom, I'm not with Xiaohao because of his family."

"We didn't talk about your family. The main thing is to get to know you better. Aren't you two planning on getting married?"

"Of course, but I haven't thought about that."

Bai's mother and Bai Erru shook their heads helplessly when they heard their daughter's naive words.

Having said that, although Bai Erru is quite satisfied with Yuan Zhihao, his family situation must be investigated clearly, and the matter of meeting the in-laws must be put on the agenda. Meeting them earlier will help him learn more.

"Xiao He, please hurry up Zhihao. Your mom and I also want to meet his parents soon. You're not young anymore. If both sets of parents feel it's okay after they meet, you can get engaged first and get married directly after you both graduate from graduate school."

Bai Xiaohe was speechless. What was he doing? Was he afraid that she wouldn't be able to get married?

But what Bai Erru said made sense. She had been with Yuan Zhihao for more than a year, and she really didn't know much about his family situation. On the contrary, Yuan Zhihao knew her family situation very well.

"Okay, I'll mention this to Xiaohao."

"Well, you have to pay attention to it. This is a big event in your life." Bai Erru nodded.

. . . . . . . .

June 3rd, 9:00 AM.

An airplane slowly landed at Jingzhou International Airport.

Yuan Zhihao, dressed in casual clothes and wearing a pair of sunglasses, got off the plane and walked along the road to the exit.

"Xiaohao! Xiaohao!"

At this time, Yuan Zhihao heard someone calling him. He looked around and finally fixed his eyes on a man wearing an executive jacket. The man had a very distinctive appearance, a righteous face, and thick and dense eyebrows. Who else could it be but Qi Tongwei?

"Brother Qi!" Yuan Zhihao smiled, waved, and walked over.

"Haha! Xiaohao! I haven't seen you for a long time!" Qi Tongwei laughed and walked forward to give Yuan Zhihao a hug.

The Qi Tongwei of today is no longer the Qi Tongwei of the past. He worked as Yuan Mu's secretary for five years and left office four years ago to be transferred to a local position.

Yuan Zhihao valued him very much and directly appointed him as the county magistrate of a county in Luzhou. Two years later, he was promoted to the county party secretary. Now Qi Tongwei is a deputy-department-level cadre and is currently serving as the district mayor of Guangming District, Jingzhou.

"Why bother District Chief Qi to pick me up?" Yuan Zhihao joked with the other party with a smile.

"Look, your eldest son, Mr. Yuan, is here. I have to greet him personally. Let's go and have dinner first. Secretary Sun knew you were coming and insisted on treating you to a meal. He's waiting for you at the restaurant right now."

The Secretary Sun that Qi Tongwei mentioned is Sun Liancheng. Back then, he got connected with Yuan Mu and has been promoted since then. Now he works with Qi Tongwei and is the district party secretary who also serves as deputy mayor.

"Oh? Brother Sun is here too, okay, let's go."

Handong now is truly a place where Yuan Mu has the final say. From top to bottom, basically everyone in Handong is Yuan Mu's man. Wen Huarong was transferred three years ago. In fact, he has long lost his say in Handong, but there is no other way. If he wants to go somewhere else, he will have to use his family's political resources.

In fact, this would not be a big deal, but there just happens to be a Lu Zhou in Handong. Although he does not have much say in Handong, he is the top leader after all, and he can share half of the political achievements. This is why he has always tolerated Yuan Mu.

But his tolerance doesn't mean Yuan Mu can tolerate it. As he took office as governor, his ambition grew. He was no longer satisfied with the different voices coming out of Handong, so he kept making trouble and eventually made Wen Huarong leave Handong "willingly".

As for Yuan Mu, thanks to Zhou Zhennan's operation, he successfully became the top leader. Now there was no more resistance in Handong. Yuan Mu let go and carried out drastic reforms in Handong. Luzhou developed, and other cities could not be left behind.

He spent three years launching a massive "economic revolution" with Luzhou as the center and other cities as the radius!

In fact, Yuan Mu had long had the idea of separating Luzhou from Handong. After all, Luzhou's economic output value was too high. It was the number one city in the country, and even the municipalities could not compare with it.

Therefore, the separation of Luzhou is an inevitable trend and cannot be controlled by humans. However, if it is separated alone, it will be too monotonous. After all, its geographical location is not very good and it is still some distance away from the seaport. Luzhou still relies heavily on the seaport of Shanghai for sea transportation, so the combination of these two cities is the best result.
