South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Chapter 230 Zhou Zhenjun

"Of course, we all benefit from your showing off. Yesterday, the director was even called by his superior to be praised in person. Do you think the director would not be happy?" Shen Nan laughed.

"Okay, then when do we leave?" Yuan Mu nodded.

"You can leave now."

"Let's go." Yuan Mu stood up.

Soon, the two drove all the way to the Kyoto Railway Public Security Bureau office building and met the director himself. This was not the first time Yuan Mu had met him.

As expected, the director's attitude towards him was quite good. Everyone in the department took the case very seriously. In the end, the case was led by their Railway Public Security Bureau, which brought him a lot of glory and he also had face.

At night, outside the Kyoto Military District compound.

Yuan Mu and Zhou Xiaobai pushed their bicycles and talked and laughed all the way towards the compound. Today he came to eat for free, although he often did so.

"Xiao Mu, can you graduate this year?" Zhou Xiaobai asked.

"If nothing unexpected happens, there should be no problem. I have almost completed my studies and I have finished studying for the senior year courses on my own. If nothing unexpected happens, I can skip to the senior year next year and should be able to graduate during the summer vacation." Yuan Mu said with a smile.

"That's great!" Zhou Xiaobai immediately became happy upon hearing this.

"Xiaobai, let's get married after I graduate!" Yuan Mu looked at Zhou Xiaobai seriously.

"Okay!" Zhou Xiaobai's face turned a little red, but he still nodded firmly.

It's time to get married. After this year, I will be 28 years old and Zhou Xiaobai will be 31 years old. Zhou's mother has urged me many times, and I will not be able to explain if I don't get married now.

Although Mr. Zhou didn't say anything, Yuan Mu knew that he was also anxious. He was also anxious to have a grandson.

Yuan Mu has already discussed the marriage with the Zhou family. Yuan Mu doesn't need to prepare anything. Kyoto has already prepared a house, a courtyard house with three entrances as their new home. No dowry or anything else is needed. Of course, it's Yuan Mu's business if he wants to buy something, and the Zhou family has no requirements in this regard.

Originally, what did the Zhou family lack? They lacked nothing and did not need those things. With Zhou Zhennan's status, what did he want?

However, this does not mean that Yuan Mu will marry into the Zhou family. Zhou Xiaobai will still marry Yuan Mu, but Mr. Zhou made a request. Because he only has one daughter, he wants Yuan Mu and Zhou Xiaobai to have two children. The first child will take Yuan Mu's surname, and the second child will take Zhou's surname.

Yuan Mu had no objection to this. No problem. He didn't take it too seriously. The Zhou family treated him so well, how could he not agree? After all, they were all his children, all the same.

But Yuan Mu underestimated the importance people of this era placed on inheritance. Upon learning that Yuan Mu agreed to this matter, not to mention Zhou's mother, Zhou Zhennan was very happy and even poured him wine personally during dinner, which made Yuan Mu a little flattered.

If it were someone else, there would be no chance of such treatment. The relationship between Yuan Mu and the Zhou family is more of an equal one, because Yuan Mu owes nothing to the Zhou family. Instead, it is the Zhou family that owes him two lives, which are priceless.

The two walked into the compound and came to Villa No. 1.

"Mom and Dad! We're back!" Zhou Xiaobai parked the car in the yard and shouted.

"Hey! Look who's back, isn't it my eldest niece!!" At this time, a hearty laugh rang out, and then a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a Zhongshan suit and with a square face, appeared at the door.

"Ah! Third Uncle!" Zhou Xiaobai was immediately surprised when he saw this man.

"Why are you here?"

"Why can't I come? I come to see you!" the man said with a smile.

"Your third uncle launched a surprise attack and I didn't even know about it!" Zhou Zhennan walked out with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.

Yuan Mu stood beside Zhou Xiaobai and looked at the man carefully, his third uncle. He knew this man, but he only knew about it from Zhou Xiaobai. He knew that she had such an uncle, who was Zhou Zhennan's younger brother.

Although Yuan Mu has been with Zhou Xiaobai for quite some time, he has basically never met Zhou's relatives. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Yuan Mu has never spent the New Year at Zhou's house.

"Xiao Mu, let me introduce you..." Zhou Xiaobai took Yuan Mu's arm and was about to introduce his third uncle to Yuan Mu, but was interrupted by him.

"No need, I know who he is!" The man walked to Yuan Mu with a smile and patted his shoulder.

"Yeah, it's good, it's pretty solid. I've heard about you in the East Province. I heard that you solved another big case this time?"

"Hello, Third Uncle, my name is Yuan Mu." Yuan Mu smiled modestly. He was stunned when he heard the name East Province. Isn't that Lao Gao's hometown?

"You have never seen me, but I am very familiar with your name! You are a great guy to receive praise from the highest level! Let me introduce myself, my name is Zhou Zhenjun! I am the Organization Minister of East Province!" Zhou Zhenjun said with a smile.

Hearing this, Yuan Mu's mind buzzed. What the hell? The Organization Minister of Dong Province? This is a deputy ministerial level official, holding great power. The promotion and transfer of the entire province are in his hands. Isn't there a saying that the Organization Department is one level higher than the official! I'm not kidding you!

Although he cannot manage the promotions at the ministerial level, he can manage the promotions of officials below the ministerial level. This position is quite important!

"Uncle San, you really praise me too much. I just did what I should do!" Yuan Mu said quickly.

"Haha! Big brother told me about your personality. I was a little confused at first, but now it seems to be true! Let's go inside and talk!" Zhou Zhenjun laughed and put his arm around Yuan Mu's shoulder and walked into the house.

Yuan Mu thought that his third uncle didn't look like an organization minister at all. Instead, he looked more like someone in the army. He was carefree and gave people an impression that he was simple-minded. However, he also knew that this might be Zhou Zhenjun's way of deceiving people. Anyone who underestimated him would probably suffer a great loss.

How could he sit on the vice-ministerial throne without any ability? Moreover, it was such an important position? Moreover, he was a member of the Zhou family, how could it be simple?

"Xiao Mu, my third uncle is like this. He used to be in the army, but later he was injured and retired. His personality has always been like this!" Zhou Xiaobai said on the side.

"What's wrong with my personality? Isn't it pretty good?" Zhou Zhenjun glared at Zhou Xiaobai, who rolled his eyes at him and shrugged.

"It's okay, it's fine, it's fine!" Yuan Mu said hurriedly.

In the living room.

"Xiao Mu is here!" Zhou's mother walked out of the kitchen wearing an apron and said with a smile.

In fact, the Zhou family has a chef, but when there are guests at home, Zhou's mother usually cooks for herself.
