Chapter 232 Commendation Conference

After the funeral, Aunt Zhao left with a gloomy face, leaving Zhao Rao alone in the old house with only two black and white photos.

It was time for Jiang Ningyue to leave. She had to go to a meeting in the province. In order to commend her performance over the past year and her outstanding contributions in responding to mountain torrents and mudslides, the Taozhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government recommended her and approved her by the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government. The Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government awarded Jiang Ningyue the title of "Civil Servant Who Satisfies the People".

A commendation meeting was also held to commend the "civil servants who are satisfied with the people" and "civil servant groups who are satisfied with the people" in the province over the past three years, as well as a commendation and award ceremony for first-class merit.

Before leaving, Jiang Ningyue came to Zhao Rao's house and said, "Xiao Rao, sister is leaving."

"Goodbye, sister." Zhao Rao smiled and waved at Jiang Ningyue.

Jiang Ningyue thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to go to Zhaoyang County with me for a few days?"

"Okay." Zhao Rao's eyes brightened instantly.

"Then take your things and let's get in the car."

"I...I don't know what to bring."

Jiang Ningyue looked at Zhao Rao's bare house. Most of the clothes were donated to the school by others and then given to her by the school. She simply said, "Take your admission letter, student ID, ID card, household registration booklet... Don't take anything else."

"oh."

Zhao Rao nodded, quickly packed up her things, and followed Jiang Ningyue into the car.

The two arrived in Chuanquan City. Zhao Rao kept looking around along the way, feeling very curious.

When we arrived at the hotel next to the provincial government, the provincial government had already booked hotels for all the people who were to be honored.

After leaving the things at the hotel, Jiang Ningyue took Zhao Rao shopping in the mall. They bought a lot of clothes, shoes, and even underwear.

Zhao Rao refused at first, but later became numb.

Zhao Rao returned to the hotel with a pile of clothes. After all, she was a child, and she was extremely happy to see so many new clothes. She ran to the bathroom and washed them inside and out for nearly an hour, rubbing off two layers of skin on her body before coming out to try on the clothes one by one.

Jiang Ningyue wanted to laugh just by looking at it.

The next day, after giving Zhao Rao some instructions and transferring one thousand yuan to her via WeChat, Jiang Ningyue drove to the provincial government to attend the commendation meeting.

At the conference, the awards were presented in order.

The provincial party secretary attended the meeting and delivered a speech, and the provincial party deputy secretary and governor presided over the meeting.

There were only five spots for the "civil servants who satisfy the people" position in the province, and Jiang Ningyue, an "outsider," was actually surprised to have been able to take one. She believed that many people were speaking well of her.

Secretary Zhang Yan also presented Jiang Ningyue with her medal and certificate. Secretary Zhang shook hands with Jiang Ningyue and said, "Xiaoyue! Your achievements this year have brought honor to our entire province. I hope you'll continue to work hard next year."

"Thank you, Secretary."

Jiang Ningyue accepted the award certificate and medal with a smile on her face.

The title medal is made of pure silver, pure silver plated with gold, or copper plated with gold. The upper part of the core area is a five-star pattern, the middle part has the five big characters "Serve the People", the lower part has the Tiananmen pattern, and the medal and ribbon also have the words "Civil Servants Satisfied by the People".

The certificate is much simpler. When you open the certificate, you will see the national emblem on the left. On the right is——

To: Comrade Jiang Ningyue, a public servant who satisfies the people.

Below is the official seal of the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government.

In addition to the certificate and medal, there is also a bonus of 20,000 yuan as a reward.

Holding the certificate and medal, Jiang Ningyue asked the reporters on the scene to take a photo of her and posted it on her Moments.

Reporters at the scene sighed, "Director Jiang, you've won so many awards! As a reporter, you won the 'Changjiang Taofen Award', and as a civil servant, you won the 'Civil Servant Satisfied by the People' award."

Jiang Ningyue smiled and teased, "It's not nationwide."

Several reporters looked at each other in silence.

A reporter asked curiously, "Director Jiang, are you going to stay in Shannan Province?"

"Why do you ask?" Jiang Ningyue asked in confusion.

"Those who are recognized as 'civil servants who satisfy the people' can theoretically be promoted as exceptions."

Of course, this is just theory; even if most civil servants receive national recognition, only a few receive exceptional promotions. However, it is true that future promotions will be much smoother.

However, Jiang Ningyue had always risen through the ranks by "breaking the rules", so she was not bothered by this.

Jiang Ningyue scolded with a smile, "Hurry up and find someone to interview, otherwise everyone will be gone soon."

"Leader, let's interview you."

"Go away, I'm leaving."

“Ah, no!”

In the end, Jiang Ningyue still accepted an interview with a reporter from Shannan Provincial TV Station. For such current affairs news, she only needed to say a few words and express her opinion.

However, as a family member, the news headline of Shannan Provincial TV station clearly stated that "Jiang Ningyue and five other comrades were awarded the title of civil servants who satisfied the people of the province."

Afterwards, Jiang Ningyue refused the "recuperation" quota given by the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, and specifically asked Gao Yi and Ma Qiang for half a month's leave, and took Zhao Rao to Haizhou.

As soon as she got off the plane, Jiang Ningyue felt relaxed. Although her body was from Shannan, her soul still considered Haizhou her home.

Get in the car and head straight to the large flat that Gu Meng bought.

Gu Meng went out to film, so there was no one in the flat.

Seeing this luxurious room, Zhao Rao couldn't believe her eyes. "Sister, is this your home in Haizhou?"

"Your sister isn't that corrupt."

Jiang Ningyue smiled and said, "This is the home of a celebrity friend of mine."

"Sister Gu Meng?"

"Yes."

Jiang Ningyue nodded, "Except for the master bedroom, you can treat the rest of the place as your own."

"Okay~"

Zhao Rao came to the living room window, looked at the busy traffic outside, and couldn't help but sigh, "Haining is so prosperous, even more prosperous than Sichuan and Quanzhou."

"Of course." Jiang Ningyue smiled. "Haining is the capital of Haizhou after all! On Friday nights, the sidewalks are packed with people."

"Wow……"

Zhao Rao didn't dare to imagine it, and it was difficult to imagine it.

"I'll take you to Haizhou University tomorrow. You can stay home at night while I go to my old boss's house to chat. If I don't come back, you can sleep alone."

"Um."

Zhao Rao is very well-behaved and doesn't ask any questions.

The next day, Jiang Ningyue took Zhao Rao to Haizhou University, which is where Zhao Rao will stay for the next four years.

While strolling around the school, many people recognized Jiang Ningyue, greeted her with smiles on their faces, and took photos with her excitedly.

Although Zhao Rao changed into new clothes and new shoes, she still felt a little inferior when she saw these glamorous college students.

However, none of them looked like Jiang Ningyue, which made Zhao Rao feel a little more balanced.

In the evening, Zhao Rao ordered takeout, while Jiang Ningyue carried the food to Li Chunyan's house. Li Chunyan had also prepared wine and food early, waiting for Jiang Ningyue's arrival.

The older sister hadn't seen Jiang Ningyue for a long time. As soon as she saw Jiang Ningyue, she held her tightly and refused to let go. "Time flies so fast. You should be back in another year, right?"
