Name: My father Yuan Mu

"Hello, Uncle Kang." Yuan Zhihao greeted the other party with a smile.

"No one's coming to pick you up?"

"Uncle Kang, you know I've always gone to and from school by myself."

"Oh, yes, look at my memory, I forgot everything." Kang Gaoyi smiled awkwardly.

"Well, how about we go together? I'll take you home."

"Uncle Kang, no need. Home is not far away and I can go back by myself." Yuan Zhihao looked at Kang Gaoyi and felt that he was a little strange today.

"Oh, it's okay. I'm on my way. I'll give you a ride." Kang Gaoyi said with a smile as he stepped forward and held Yuan Zhihao's shoulders. Yuan Zhihao was pushed into the car by him half-heartedly.

In the car.

"Uncle Kang, do you have something to ask my dad?"

Seeing that his thoughts were exposed by Yuan Zhihao, Kang Gaoyi felt even more embarrassed. Could it be that his intentions were so obvious that an eleven-year-old child could see through them?

But who could have imagined that a soul of more than thirty years old lived in the body of this eleven-year-old child?

"Oh, no, no."

"Oh." Yuan Zhihao nodded thoughtfully.

Soon the car drove into the city party committee staff compound. Kang Gaoyi's home was very close to Yuan Mu's home. Of course, since Yuan Mu was also a member of the provincial party committee standing committee, he also had his own house in the Jingzhou provincial party committee staff compound. However, he still lived in Luzhou most of the time. After all, his work focus was still in Luzhou.

Kang Gaoyi's car stopped in front of Yuan Mu's house. He got out of the car, but he was too embarrassed to go directly to the door, so he could only look at Yuan Zhihao eagerly.

Yuan Zhihao naturally knew why the other party was like this. It was simply because of the incident with the mayor of Luzhou. Although such an incident had not happened in his previous life, he knew that the position of mayor of Luzhou would eventually fall on his head.

Because his father Yuan Mu had already manipulated everything behind the scenes. Although he couldn't guarantee that he would become the mayor of Luzhou, he would definitely not let Secretary Wen Huarong's people take this position.

"Uncle Kang, would you like to come in and sit down?"

"Is this appropriate?" Kang Gaoyi's eyes lit up.

Without waiting for Yuan Mu to say anything more politely, Kang Gaoyi turned around, took out two gift boxes from the trunk, and walked straight to Yuan Mu's door, as if he was afraid that Yuan Zhihao would go back on his word.

"Xiao Hao, please report to the leader. I want to pay you a visit."

Yuan Zhihao shook his head helplessly. He knew Uncle Kang quite well, both as a person and as an official. He was essentially the same kind of person as Gao Yuliang, both of whom liked unlimited power but not money.

"Uncle Kang, why are you being so polite? Let's go straight into the house." As he said that, Yuan Zhihao took out the key and opened the door.

"Mom and Dad! I'm back!"

"Xiaohao is back, hurry up and wash your hands and get ready for dinner." Zhou Xiaobai said with a smile while standing at the kitchen door wearing an apron.

"You're back." Yuan Mu, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book, smiled and nodded when he saw Yuan Zhihao coming back. It was rare for him to come home early today. Kang Gaoyi probably knew that Yuan Mu was at home today and had wanted to visit him. He didn't expect to meet Yuan Zhihao. It was just an extra reason, which was good.

"Dad! My uncle Kang is here."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Yuan Mu looked towards the door, and then saw Kang Gaoyi standing at the door with two gift boxes in his hands and a smile on his face.

"Gao Yi, what are you doing standing there? Come in quickly." Zhou Xiaobai saw the person coming and walked over with a smile.

"Madam." Kang Gaoyi nodded and greeted her with a smile.

"Gao Yi, come in." Yuan Mu said at this time.

"Oh!" Kang Gaoyi was delighted and quickly changed into slippers and walked into the house.

"Madam, this is what my family from back home brought me. You, the secretary, and Xiaohao can try it." Kang Gaoyi handed the gift box in his hand to Zhou Xiaobai.

"Gao Yi, look at what you are doing? Just come, why bring anything with you? It's so unconventional." Zhou Xiaobai pretended to be dissatisfied.

"Okay, Xiaobai, just accept it. I guess if I don't accept his gift today, he won't be able to sleep at night." Yuan Mu said with a smile.

When Kang Gaoyi heard this, he knew that Yuan Mu must have known why he was there, and he smiled awkwardly.

"Well, I happened to see Xiaohao while driving, so I sent him back. Now that I'm here, I'm leaving." His little thoughts had been made public, and he was indeed a little embarrassed to stay any longer, so he planned to leave.

"Okay! It's time for dinner soon, stay and join us." Yuan Mu waved his hand.

"this..."

"That's right, dinner is about to start, stay for dinner." Zhou Xiaobai also said.

Kang Gaoyi felt really uncomfortable during this meal and was very anxious, but Yuan Mu never mentioned the mayor's matter at the dinner table. He also knew that this was not an appropriate occasion to bring up this matter, but he just couldn't let it go.

Finally, the meal was over, and Yuan Mu pulled him to the coffee table to drink tea. He was not in the mood to drink tea now, but since Yuan Mu didn't mention it, he didn't dare to say or ask, and could only wait patiently.

Yuan Mu on the side looked at his expression and secretly laughed. Although Kang Gaoyi was much older than him, he could not be patient when faced with such things. In fact, Yuan Mu just wanted to tease him deliberately. Seeing that he was really unable to hold it back, Yuan Mu didn't plan to tease him anymore.

"Gao Yi, come with me to the study." Yuan Mu stood up and walked towards the study.

Kang Gaoyi was overjoyed. It would be a good idea to go to the study. The study was a good place to discuss things. He loved going to the study the most. He quickly got up and followed Yuan Mu to the study, closing the door behind him.

Sitting on the sofa in the study, Yuan Mu took out a cigarette from the box on the table. Kang Gaoyi was quick to light the cigarette for him before Yuan Mu, took a deep breath, and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Gao Yi, you've been working as a deputy director for a while, right?"

"Leader, it's been six years, four months, and seven days."

"Remember it so clearly?" Yuan Mu was a little surprised.

Kang Gaoyi smiled embarrassedly.

"Leader, I dare not forget. I am already 49 years old this year. If I don't make progress in a few years, I might be forced to retire."

"Gao Yi, I'm well aware of your abilities. Wouldn't it be a loss to the country if you were to step aside? Ever since Mayor Tian left, I've been serving concurrently as mayor of Luzhou. Honestly, I'm juggling three roles, and to be honest, I'm really struggling."

"Leader! I'm willing to share your worries!" Before Yuan Mu finished speaking, Kang Gaoyi stood up from the sofa and said excitedly.

"Look, he's anxious again!" Yuan Mu smiled helplessly.

"Leader, I have to be anxious. I really want to make progress!"

"Okay, sit down. What a mess." Yuan Mu waved his hand to signal the other party to sit down.
