Name: My father Yuan Mu

During the Chinese New Year, Tian Hongyi returned to Kyoto to discuss with his family. They finally reached a consensus that the best way was to leave Luzhou. With the power of the Tian family, there was no need to stay in Luzhou. They could achieve success anywhere.

One day after the New Year, Tian Hongyi came to Yuan Mu's office.

"Oh, Comrade Hongyi is here. Come and sit down. Xiao Luo, make some tea!" Yuan Mu saw Tian Hongyi standing up with a smile.

"Secretary Yuan, you don't have to be polite. I'll just sit for a while and then leave." Tian Hongyi waved his hand.

Luo Hongzhe quickly made the tea and left the office.

"Hongyi, do you have something to talk to me about?" Yuan Mu asked as he handed Tian Hongyi a cigarette.

Tian Hongyi lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then looked out the window.

"Old Yuan, is it okay for me to call you that?"

"Of course, we are not just a superior-subordinate relationship, we are also friends in private. After all, we have lived in the same house for so long." Yuan Mu nodded with a smile.

"Old Yuan, there is actually no hatred between us."

"Of course. Hongyi, why are you acting so weird today?" Yuan Mu looked at Tian Hongyi suspiciously, not knowing what he was up to.

"I'm leaving." Tian Hongyi turned and looked at Yuan Mu.

Yuan Mu was shocked, but at the same time, a feeling of joy surged in his heart. This kid finally couldn't bear it anymore and was leaving. He should have left a long time ago!

Although he thought so, Yuan Mu still showed a hint of concern on the surface.

"Hongyi, what's going on? You're doing so well, why are you leaving so suddenly?"

Tian Hongyi cursed Yuan Mu in his heart when he saw his hypocritical look. I am leaving because you forced me to!

If he hadn't been thinking about leaving soon and trying to smooth things over with Yuan Mu, he would have wanted to scold Yuan Mu. "What a bully!" he asked. "How could anyone be so bullying?" "Hadn't he just screwed Yuan Mu a little bit back then? Was it really necessary to hold such a grudge?"

In fact, it was not that Yuan Mu was holding a grudge, because he had discovered Tian Hongyi's intention a long time ago. He wanted to use Luzhou as a springboard, gain some political achievements, and then squeeze out Yuan Mu and reap the benefits directly. How could Yuan Mu let him take advantage of it?

"Hey! It's nothing. I've been the mayor for a few years now. It's time to move things around. Among the people in the Party School back then, you've been the most successful. Don't forget your old classmates in the future." Tian Hongyi smiled on the surface but was actually cursing in his heart.

"Look at what you said. We were all classmates, how could I forget about you? But then again, Hongyi, aren't you leaving too hastily? Our Luzhou is getting better and better. If you wait a little longer, maybe next year or the year after, you'll be promoted directly to the vice-provincial level. How great would that be?"

Tian Hongyi cursed Yuan Mu in his heart. Stay for another two years? If he stayed for another two years, he would probably be ruined. If he was an ordinary person, it would be fine. If he encountered such a thing, he might even enjoy it. But he had a family behind him and would not allow him to do so.

"Old Yuan, I appreciate your kindness, but it will never be complete without the position of Municipal Party Secretary."

"Oh! What a pity. Well, since you insist on leaving and I can't affect your future, I wish you a bright future!" Yuan Mu said with a smile.

"Thank you very much. I also wish you success in the future!" Tian Hongyi stood up and said.

Yuan Mu originally thought that Tian Hongyi's departure would take at least one or two months, but he did not expect that Tian Hongyi's transfer order would come just a week later, and he would go to Hezhou City, Haixi Province to serve as the secretary of the municipal party committee.

To be honest, this location is really good. It's in the coastal area, which is good for economic development. It seems that the Tian family has made a lot of efforts. I wonder when the two will meet again.

. . . . . . .

Ever since Tian Hongyi left, Luzhou has been in an uproar. The position of Luzhou mayor is so tempting that everyone wants to sit on the throne. The most active one is Kang Gaoyi, because he is a full-time deputy secretary and the one closest to the mayor.

Others were also vying for it. These people had to report their work to Yuan Mu at least twice a day, which made Yuan Mu very annoyed because Yuan Mu's opinion was very important. He was a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and had both the right to make suggestions and the right to vote on the final decision.

Since Yuan Mu was airdropped and Tian Hongyi was transferred from outside, the position of division commander this time will most likely be a local, but it is not ruled out that he will be transferred from other places.

Not only these people in Luzhou, but also the provincial standing committee members often chat with Yuan Mu. Their fundamental purpose is only one: to be the mayor of Luzhou!

In fact, Yuan Mu already had a candidate in mind, and that person was Kang Gaoyi. He was one of the early ones who joined him. There were some people who joined him earlier than him, but their current positions were still some distance away from the position of mayor. Promoting Kang Gaoyi was the most appropriate person.

He has sufficient qualifications and is not young anymore. He has been working in the deputy director position for six or seven years. It is reasonable for him to move up.

As long as he can take this step, the future will be bright for him, because Luzhou will be reformed sooner or later, and the overall level will be raised by half a level. All members of the Standing Committee will become full-time officials, and the top two leaders will be vice-provincial level officials. This is the benefit brought by economic development.

In Yuan Mu's office.

"Ronaldo."

"Leader!" Hearing Yuan Mu calling him, Luo Hongzhe hurriedly walked in from outside.

"How is the person I asked you to pay attention to doing now?" Yuan Mu took out a cigarette and looked at Luo Hongzhe.

"I heard from the comrades of the Yantai City Bureau's Narcotics Squad that his mental state hasn't been very good recently, and he's asked for leave to go to Jingzhou."

"Well, let's do this. You go to Jingzhou in person and wait for him at the gate of the School of Political Science and Law. If you see him entering the campus with flowers in his hands, stop him and bring him to see me." Yuan Mu thought for a while and said.

Luo Hongzhe didn't understand what Yuan Mu meant by doing this, but he had to do it because his leader said so. Yuan Mu was really good to him. After following Yuan Mu for more than three years, he was now a deputy division-level cadre and could be a member of the county party committee standing committee right away. If he followed Yuan Mu for another two years, he might be able to directly become a county magistrate, and even the county party secretary was not a dream.

"Okay, leader. I'll do it right away."

Luo Hongzhe did not dare to delay regarding Yuan Mu's matter. After explaining it to the people in the office, he went to the driver's class to pick up a car. Instead of letting the driver drive, he drove to Jingzhou himself.

On the other side, Yantai City.

Qi Tongwei had already bought a ticket at the train station and was ready to go to Jingzhou City. Just two days ago, he broke up with Chen Yang on the phone. He had decided to bow to power. Just like the old director said, you must have power first, and then you can rely on power to regain the dignity you lost today bit by bit.

But what Qi Tongwei didn't know was that Chen Yang had already flown back. Qi Tongwei only told her that he wanted to break up and then hung up the phone. But Chen Yang didn't believe that Qi Tongwei would break up with her, so she wanted to ask him in person.
