Is Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli's family in trouble?
Cheng Wenyun immediately pressed for details, "What happened next? Was it the police who handled it?"
Upon hearing his words, the leader and the people around him exchanged glances and shook their heads with a chuckle.
A person close to the leader explained to Cheng Wenyun, "It's resolved, but the person who resolved this matter wasn't a police officer, but an employee of our unit! You definitely don't know who it is."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Wenyun hesitated for a long time before saying uncertainly, "Zhou...Zhou Mingli?"
"Do you know him?"
Cheng Wenyun gave a bitter smile, knowing in his heart that nothing his grandfather had done since returning could be kept secret. How he returned and who he had met in the cowshed were naturally impossible to hide.
Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli would naturally be brought to the forefront. After thinking for a moment, he didn't hide anything and said, "You know that before my grandfather was exonerated, he didn't have a good life in the cowshed. The red armband guarding the cowshed... sigh, later it was Zhou Mingli's wife, who was also an educated youth sent to the countryside, who took on the job of delivering meals to my grandfather, and that's how he was spared some suffering. My uncle told me about this. He said that Zhou Mingli and his wife provided key evidence in a case of trafficking in cultural relics when they were in their hometown."
"After my grandfather's case was overturned, didn't we bring him back? Coincidentally, we're short two kitchen helpers here. My uncle said Zhou Mingli is a good cook, so I recommended him to HR. But please rest assured, boss, I only made a recommendation. When HR was recruiting kitchen helpers, many people applied. The selection of kitchen helpers was done by Chef Mo himself. You know how demanding Chef Mo is!"
After hearing this, the leader smiled tolerantly and said, "I know that many people in our unit have recommended others for the kitchen helper position."
Cheng Wenyun's willingness to tell him proactively avoided any unnecessary misunderstandings that might have arisen if he had investigated on his own.
"According to you, it seems that Zhou Mingli and his wife are quite capable. How come they only became kitchen helpers?"
Cheng Wenyun said, "He's a country man. Besides his strong physique, he's also a good cook."
"To lend a helping hand in times of crisis, and to help the weak without fear of power, shows that this couple has good character." The leader nodded, looked up at Cheng Wenyun, and smiled, "You have a good eye for people; at least you've helped our unit gain such a chivalrous and courageous kitchen helper."
Cheng Wenyun broke out in a sweat, gave a smile, but dared not respond to his superior's words.
Although many employees recommended candidates for the kitchen helper positions, those two positions were open to external hires. Other people's recommendations were their own business, and as the chief secretary to the top leader, he should not have practiced nepotism.
It's one thing if the top leader didn't know who Zhou Mingli was, but now that Zhou Mingli has stepped into the limelight, his relationship with Zhou Mingli can no longer be kept secret.
He confessed that although the higher-ups had let him off the hook, their words still carried a warning.
Cheng Wenyun dared not be careless and would probably only become more cautious in the future.
As they were talking, they arrived at the cafeteria.
Other employees stood up to greet the leader, and some even greeted Cheng Wenyun.
Cheng Wenyun had just been warned by his superiors, so he had to pretend to remain calm and greet them as usual.
When the top leader ate in the canteen, he never mentioned Zhou Mingli, let alone the heroic deeds Zhou Mingli had done.
At least until the police arrive, the higher-ups can't directly give him a reward.
Cheng Wenyun found an opportunity to meet Zhou Mingli.
Seeing that he worked diligently and did his best in every aspect, I felt a little comforted.
At least the person he recommended is a genuinely good person, so it wasn't for nothing that he was warned by his boss.
"Secretary Cheng, what brings you here?" Zhou Mingli asked as he walked over to him.
"I heard you and Jiang Ci did another good deed," Cheng Wenyun said with a smile. "The big leader brought it up today."
Zhou Mingli was surprised, "He knew too?"
"Of course, the one who committed the crime was a returned educated youth. This kind of thing that endangers public order has happened more than once." Cheng Wenyun paused and said, "Although you did a good deed, don't get carried away. In this kind of unit, the worst thing is to be rash and impulsive."
"Just focus on your work."
Zhou Mingli understood what Cheng Wenyun meant.
You will definitely receive the reward you deserve, and it certainly won't be small!
In life, we should play dumb to outsmart others, and it's best to hide our true abilities.
