Su He was very excited after receiving the award, because the last time she received a certificate of merit was when she was in elementary school.

In those days, receiving an award was a very high honor for a cadre, and it was also an affirmation of her abilities. If nothing unexpected happened, her career would be smooth sailing from now on.

Having this is like having a protective umbrella; some shady characters probably won't dare to get close to her.

So, even though it's just a small certificate, it's very important to Su He.

Originally, the higher-ups planned to have the leader personally award her the certificate, but because everyone has been busy dealing with the discovered items and investigating potential spies, the director had to issue it to her instead.

Su He didn't care about any of that. After receiving the certificate, a bright smile appeared on her face. Everyone else was even more excited, and enthusiastic applause rang out in the office. Everyone was happy for her.

I could still hear my colleagues praising me.

At that moment, Su He suddenly felt as if she had found the value of her life. Perhaps, she was indeed suited to be a police officer.

...

After receiving the reward, the director spoke to her privately and told her that based on her performance, the higher-ups had originally intended to promote her to another rank, but they had considered other options and decided against it. This meant that she might receive an even better reward in the future.

However, the director didn't mention what the reward would be, only telling her to be prepared.

Su He was completely confused.

But I still have some expectations.

Is she going to get a promotion?

But thinking about it, it seems unlikely. The current team leaders are Captain Yu and Captain Sun. One is experienced and the other is capable. It's impossible for her to be promoted, and it's also impossible for her to skip them. So it's probably not her.

She couldn't guess what it was; she'd just have to wait and see.

After get off work, Su He took the certificate and prize home.

Grandma Su and Grandpa Su were extremely excited when they saw it, and they held onto the certificate tightly.

“Oh my, my granddaughter, how amazing you are! This is a certificate of merit awarded by the country. No, we can’t just leave it here. I have to find a picture frame to put it in and hang it in the living room so that everyone can see it as soon as they come in.”

Upon hearing this, Su He felt a chill run down her spine, recalling the situation she had described. This was far too high-profile and too shameful!

She wanted to refuse immediately, but by then Grandma Su had already taken the certificate out to the yard to show it off, and Grandpa Su followed with the child in his arms.

She had no choice but to give up.

Looking at Lin Jingyan, he also seemed proud and did not object.

I sighed. Oh well, we don't get many visitors anyway, so whatever.

So Su He handed the pen she had received to Lin Jingyan, saying, "Here, you can use this."

Lin Jingyan accepted it with delight, "For me? Isn't this your reward? You can use it yourself."

Su He waved her hand, "No, I don't use a pen much usually. It would be a waste for me to use such a good pen. You can have it."

"real?"

Seeing Su He nod in confirmation, Lin Jingyan carefully accepted the pen. He hadn't expected Su He to give him the pen she had received.

Although Hero brand fountain pens are not cheap, and he could afford them, this was Su He's honor. He felt a warm current welling up in his heart. It was clear that Su He really loved him and wanted to give him all the good things!

She secretly resolved to treat Su He well in the future and not to let her down.
