Chapter 1246: Rewards from the Guangzhou Public Security Bureau and the Ministry of Railways

Deputy Factory Director Gu quickly recounted the matter: "These two are comrades from the Guangzhou Public Security Bureau, and these two are comrades from the Ministry of Railways. Comrade Chuxue, you truly prove that women are no match for men; even though you have left our factory, we are proud of you."

Chuxue quickly ushered them into the courtyard, as by now people were already craning their necks to pry into the gossip.

After a brief exchange of polite deference between the hosts, the comrade from the Guangzhou Public Security Bureau who had traveled from afar spoke first: "Comrade Xiao Chuxue, the road-blocking robbers you helped capture were not an ordinary criminal gang. During the interrogation, pulling up a radish brought out mud; you also helped us solve a kidnapping case where the clues had gone cold, from which we uncovered a major human trafficking ring. Moreover, among those you previously captured were two nationally wanted fugitives. We have come specially on behalf of the Guangzhou Public Security Bureau to express our gratitude and present your reward."

As they spoke, the two saluted in unison.

After the salute, they took a thick document envelope from their carried bags: "Inside here are the certificate of merit and the bonus jointly issued by our provincial and municipal bureaus, in gratitude for your fearless spirit in the face of danger."

Chuxue was not one to take credit: "That night, it wasn't just me; there were two comrades on the train as well, and later some passengers also joined in, so this commendation..."

One of the public security officers hearing this directly laughed: "Comrade Xiao, rest assured, everyone who participated that night will receive a reward."

Hearing this, Chuxue smiled slightly: "That is good, that is good."

Taking the document envelope, Chuxue did not open it in front of everyone, but seeing its thickness, she knew the reward was certainly substantial.

Once they finished, the two comrades from the Ministry of Railways stepped forward; before speaking, they saluted: "Comrade Chuxue, we are here on behalf of the Ministry of Railways to deliver the reward. Had you not discovered the anomaly in time, the state would have suffered losses numbering in the tens of thousands, and the lives and safety of the passengers and staff on the train could not have been guaranteed. Thank you."

Having finished speaking, they saluted again.

After the salute, they handed over a document envelope even thicker than the one from the Guangzhou Public Security Bureau.

Chuxue glanced at the two document envelopes in her hands and said solemnly: "Reporting suspicious situations promptly and maintaining social order is everyone's responsibility; this is what I should do."

Hearing her say this, both groups praised her highly once more, and then expressed their apologies, explaining that because the case involved too many people, they feared that any escaped suspects might threaten her personal safety, so they could not publicly commend her.

Chuxue naturally understood; besides, she was a very pragmatic person and did not wish to be too high-profile herself; this was fine.

With these rewards, once the Reform and Opening-up began, she would have the source of funds for her investments.

Deputy Factory Director Gu spoke up then: "Comrade Chuxue, although you will be leaving the factory in the future, all these things happened during your business trip; you brought honor to the factory. Shortly, we will also present you with a reward to encourage you."

Deputy Factory Director Gu actually had many more questions he wanted to ask, but with so many people present, it was naturally inappropriate to ask: "That child, Gu Qianshan, is always talking about you. Come back to the house to play when you have time; let your sister Jiang Xiaoya cook something delicious for you."

Chuxue naturally understood his meaning: "Alright, I will go visit them when I have time."

With the matter concluded and everyone sent off, Xiao Fu and Fu's mother then followed back into the courtyard: "Chuxue, what exactly is going on?"

Chuxue told them what she could; regarding those things that could not be spoken, she did not say a single word.

After the two listened, their expressions were very complex, and they spoke in unison: "What should we say about you?"
