"Well, you're pretty good. Just wait and see, little girl, you're in luck. I heard this foreign guest is someone important. Seeing how well you've performed, you're probably going to get a reward." Zhang Guisheng looked at her with a smile, holding his teacup.

Jiang Ruyu's eyes widened immediately: "Really? What is it?"

"I don't know about that, but it must be something good. Let me tell you, if you get any reward, don't tell anyone. Just keep it to yourself." Zhang Guisheng wasn't after her little thing. He only had a son and a daughter, both of whom were employed and married. How could he say something like that without any ulterior motives? Others might not have thought so.

Jiang Ruyu exchanged a knowing look with Uncle Zhang, and sure enough, just before the end of the workday in the afternoon, the department store manager came to find her with a smile.

"Comrade Xiao Jiang, come to the office on the second floor. I need to talk to you about something."

Jiang Ruyu glanced at Uncle Zhang, and Zhang Guisheng smiled and nodded, so she followed him.

When they arrived at the manager's office on the second floor, Manager Wang Chengsheng greeted her with a smile, "Don't be nervous, Comrade Xiao Jiang, have a seat."

Jiang Ruyu gave a dry laugh and sat down halfway in the chair. Seeing the young comrade's restrained manner, Wang Chengsheng didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Comrade Jiang, you've brought honor to our sales building this time. Not only did you maintain excellent communication with the foreign guests, but you also highlighted the versatility of our unit. In recognition of your outstanding performance, our leadership has decided to reward you with a radio voucher, an enamel basin, an enamel mug, and a towel as a reward for your contribution to the unit."

Jiang Ruyu's eyes widened, and she covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming. She pinched herself hard and said, "Leaders, I... I am very grateful for the leaders' recognition of me, but isn't this too much?"

Wang Chengsheng laughed heartily: "Comrade Xiao Jiang, this is what you deserve. It's just that the organization hopes you and Ms. Annie can maintain a friendly relationship. The organization will do its best to help you mail letters and packages, but, as you know, letters and packages will be inspected."

Jiang Ruyu nodded knowingly: "I understand, don't worry, leader, I will."

Then she received a brand new radio ticket, an enamelware set, and new towels. Jiang Ruyu noticed a hint of envy in the manager's eyes when he handed over the radio ticket. Her eyes lit up, and she instantly came up with a plan.

"Comrade Xiao Jiang, keep this safe. This radio ticket is very rare. This one was even squeezed out by the municipal government."

Jiang Ruyu took out the receipt stamped with the official seal and looked at her supervisor with some difficulty: "Manager Wang, my family may not need this radio voucher. Could you please help me see who needs it and give me the money? You know my family's situation; we can't afford this kind of thing."

Wang Chengsheng's eyes lit up immediately, and then he said a little embarrassedly, "Ahem, how about this, Comrade Xiao Jiang, I really need this receipt. I won't rip you off, how about you give me this receipt for a hundred yuan?"

Jiang Ruyu immediately nodded: "No problem, thank you for solving the current living problems of us ordinary employees. You are really a good leader who cares about us employees."

"Not at all." In the end, the leader got the radio ticket he had been longing for, and Jiang Ruyu not only made a small fortune, but also had a reason to take out the bicycle.

On the way back to the counter, Jiang Ruyu was carrying a brand new enamel basin, enamel cup, and a new pink towel. Many people looked at her with envy and jealousy. Zhao Sufang even ran over with a bit of envy: "That's great, Ruyu. You're really capable. I didn't even know you could speak a foreign language."

"Isn't this just a coincidence? I learned it out of curiosity when I was in school. Who would have thought that I would run into this again after I had almost forgotten it?"

"Oh, that's great. You have no idea. I've been asking about you all day. I want to know who you are that you can receive foreign guests."

"Hey, we just got incredibly lucky."

The chatter and laughter lasted for a short while before it was time to leave work. Jiang Ruyu noticed that more people greeted her today, but their gazes towards her were more complicated. With a forced smile, she hurriedly walked out the door. Instead of rushing home, she went around to the back alley from the front street. Finally, after confirming that no one was around, she rode out on her Phoenix brand 26-inch bicycle, which had been stamped with a steel stamp since it left the factory.

She rode her bicycle past the police station in a flash. She had been worried that she wouldn't be able to get the official stamp without a receipt, but the system was surprisingly reliable. The bicycle they delivered already had the official stamp, and the system said that it was all done through proper procedures and that nothing was wrong.

However, she didn't know how to follow the proper procedures; all she needed to know was that she was safe riding the bicycle.

When Jiang Ruyu rode her brand-new Phoenix bicycle back into the alley, with enamel basins and cups hanging in a net on the handlebars, the neighbors in the alley were shocked and excited!

"Oh my goodness, Ruyu, where did you get such a brand new Phoenix bicycle?"

"Yes, this car is really nice and looks brand new."

"Come on, let me see. Oh my god, it's stamped! Did Ruyu really buy this herself?"

Jiang Ruyu was so overwhelmed by the cacophony of voices that she couldn't hear a word anyone was saying. In the end, she was rescued by her grandmother, Old Lady Jiang, who was holding a rolling pin.

"What are you doing? Why are you surrounding my granddaughter?"

The old lady was rolling out noodles inside when she heard the commotion outside. She thought she'd come out to join in the fun, but little did she know she'd stumbled upon her own home. When she went inside and saw the brand-new bicycle her granddaughter was pushing, her droopy eyelids widened in surprise, and the expression stretched out all the wrinkles on her face.

"Ru, Ruyu, whose car is this?"

Jiang Ruyu pushed the bike to her grandmother for support: "This is our family's bike. It was a bicycle voucher that my workplace gave me as a reward. I bought it. Today I hosted foreign guests."

Grandma Jiang still had flour on her hands and was afraid of getting the cart dirty, so she refused to hold it. But when she heard her granddaughter's words, her face lit up with a big smile: "Really? This is ours now? Really? Ruyu?"

“Really, Grandma, it’s from our family. Look, there’s even the official stamp I got from the police station on it.”

"Hahaha, good, good, our Ruyu has made something of herself and has become capable."

Jiang Hui and Jiang Lin excitedly squeezed in: "Sis, is this really our bicycle? Can we ride it?"

"Go ahead and ride, but be careful, don't fall." Jiang Ruyu waved her hand, fulfilling her two younger brothers' wishes.

"Wow, it's true, sis, you're the best sis."
