Fortunately, the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were generally of high quality. Although they gave Jiang Ci a respectful look, they did not lose their temper and rush up to ask her what had happened.
However, after three broadcasts, Jiang Ci's actions could no longer be kept secret. People from the Public Security Bureau personally came to express their gratitude, and naturally, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs could not fail to reward the comrade who did good deeds.
But upon closer reflection, it seems that Jiang Ci's tenure at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was too short, making a raise inappropriate.
The minister and several leaders ate in the canteen and discussed the matter for a long time.
Director Chai, of course, wanted to secure benefits for his subordinates. He thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and said, "I remember we're all being assigned housing in a few days, right?"
The logistics director nodded. "We're talking about rewards. Why are you bringing up housing? Comrade Xiao Jiang's housing allocation has already been submitted."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the minister.
Director Chai said, "She's a new employee. Although she's been allocated a house, it should only be a small room of about 30 square meters, right?"
The logistics director paused, then nodded. "Yes."
That's right. Although Jiang Ci was entitled to housing, she could only get one room, a room of about 30 square meters.
Director Chai hissed and said, "How can this be enough? There are four people in her family! I heard she also brought a friend's child to stay with her, which means there are five people in her family. In just over 30 square meters, there's no way they can all fit!"
During the Chinese New Year, Jiang Ci also visited the Minister, the Vice Minister, and her superior, Director Chai. The Minister and the Vice Minister were aware of Jiang Ci's family background.
The deputy minister glanced at the minister and said, "I heard that when the police came, they said that Comrade Xiao Jiang and her husband provided important clues together. Comrade Xiao Jiang's husband is a kitchen helper in a municipal government department, and they should also give him a reward."
"Comrade Xiao Jiang has only been working for a short time, and we've already made an exception by allocating her a house. It wouldn't be appropriate to raise her salary further. Since her family is currently facing housing difficulties, let's communicate with the municipal government and jointly give this family a reward, allocating them two rooms to make up a total of 60 square meters. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, the other leaders nodded in agreement, agreeing that this was a good approach.
The minister looked at the logistics director and asked, "Are the houses we approved this time enough?"
The logistics director thought for a moment and said, "That's enough. There are still three rooms that haven't been allocated."
"Okay, Lao Song, you go and communicate with the municipal government."
Logistics Director Lao Song nodded, "Okay!"
Not to mention the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was worried about how to reward Jiang Ci, Zhou Mingli's superiors were also worried when they saw the Public Security Bureau coming to reward Zhou Mingli!
After all, the leadership had already given Zhou Mingli a raise once.
Otherwise, Zhou Mingli's current salary would only be nineteen yuan.
"Look at the mess this has made." The leader was both happy and worried. "We've already given Zhou Mingli a raise once, what other reward can we give him?"
If someone does a good deed, they might get a five-yuan reward, along with a notebook or a ballpoint pen – that would be considered the best reward.
However, Zhou Mingli had helped the Public Security Bureau crack a major case of human trafficking, so the reward from above seemed rather meager.
Just as the leader was worrying, the logistics director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs arrived, saying he wanted to see him.
The leader was somewhat suspicious, and soon met with the logistics director.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the logistics director got down to business, "I'm here today to discuss the awards for Comrade Xiao Jiang and Comrade Zhou."
"Comrade Xiao Jiang..." The leader thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, and slapped his forehead, "How could I forget? Xiao Zhou's wife works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!"
The leader quickly said, "Last time, Xiao Zhou and his wife caught a young educated youth who was stabbing someone. To reward him, our unit gave him a raise. Now we're really at a loss. Do you have any good suggestions?"
The logistics director said, "Our colleague Xiao Jiang is the same. She has a low seniority, so it's difficult for her to get a raise. But because of her contributions, our department also allocated a house to her."
The two leaders exchanged a glance, both feeling a mixture of joy and helplessness at the fact that their subordinates were too capable.
The logistics director continued, "We allocated a room to Comrade Xiao Jiang, but it's only 30 square meters. There are five people in his family, so it's really not enough room. That's why the leader asked me to come and talk to you about combining the couple's bonuses and allocating another room to Comrade Xiao Jiang, making it a total of two rooms."
This method is good!
The leader's eyes lit up. "How can we let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs allocate another room? How about this: you provide one room first, and when it's time to allocate rooms next time, the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can choose a room from us, how about that?"
Even though they are sister units, they can't take too much advantage of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, can they?
After much back and forth between the logistics director and the municipal government leaders, a plan was finally finalized.
Jiangci's apartment was changed from one room to two rooms, and now it's two big rooms!
Of course, Eci doesn't yet know the specific details of the rewards.
Having just resumed work, Jiangci has a lot of work to do. The minister called her over and told her about the documents that had been approved from above.
'Tea diplomacy.'
These are the annotations made by her superiors to her project proposal.
This document is mainly aimed at European countries, so Director Chai will be the main person in charge of this work, and Jiang Ci, who has been in charge of this matter, is the first person under Director Chai.
She was mainly responsible for liaising with Country Y, which had already placed orders, as well as controlling the quality of goods, and for negotiating with ambassadors from various countries together with Director Chai and other personnel from the Ministry of Foreign Trade.
