Su Tang's name spread like wildfire throughout the streets and alleys of Shanghai overnight.
She was not the daughter of a capitalist, but a heroine who cracked a major espionage case.
On the fifth day, Director Zhang of the Municipal Red Cross Committee personally brought gifts and, accompanied by Director Zhao and Uncle Lin Wenbo, visited my maternal grandmother's house.
The small living room was suddenly packed with people, yet the atmosphere was both solemn and warm.
Director Zhang personally handed Su Tang a gleaming first-class merit medal and certificate of honor, along with a thick bonus wrapped in red paper, which was quite heavy.
"Comrade Su Tang, you have made a great contribution to the country and the people this time!" Director Zhang's voice was loud and clear, full of praise.
Su Tang accepted the medal and prize money with both hands, her face showing no excitement like that of a typical young girl, but rather a calm demeanor.
She bowed slightly: "Director Zhang, Director Zhao, this is what I should do."
“My father taught me that national interests come first. This opportunity to contribute to the country is also a way of fulfilling my father’s last wish.”
"It was mainly due to my uncle's excellent guidance and the bravery and decisiveness of the police officers."
These words were spoken flawlessly, yet also appeared humble and appropriate.
The leaders present nodded in approval upon hearing this.
This young girl is not only brave and resourceful, but also has such a high level of awareness; it's truly rare.
Grandma Zhou stood to the side, her lips trembling with emotion, tears streaming down her face like a broken string of pearls.
She held Su Tang's hand tightly, choking back tears as she said, "Good child, good child... The ancestors of the Su family are watching over us, your father... your father can rest in peace now..."
Lin Wenbo stood behind his niece, his back ramrod straight, looking at Su Tang with eyes full of pride and satisfaction.
This girl has really grown up; she's even more outstanding than he imagined!
After exchanging pleasantries, Su Tang took the initiative to speak: "Secretary Zhang, leaders, I would like to donate a portion of this bonus to support the places in the country that need it most."
"For example, frontier development or scientific research projects. I personally don't need that much money."
Director Zhao added with a smile:
"Comrade Su Tang's contributions go beyond this. She also voluntarily handed over a batch of valuable house and land deeds belonging to the Su family. This level of awareness is something that not everyone can have!"
"Oh?" The director's eyes lit up, and his gaze towards Su Tang softened even more. "Comrade Su Tang, your level of thinking is very high!"
Su Tang smiled slightly.
She knew very well that the land deeds and house deeds she had "plundered" from Su Dongcheng and Jiang Sushuang were a hot potato.
Rather than waiting to be "rushed out" by the Little Red Guards in the future, it's better to take the initiative to "contribute" now. This will not only earn you a good reputation but also allow you to do something practical for the country and reap tangible benefits.
She only took out a portion of it, which consisted mainly of shops and properties in Shanghai. As for her overseas assets and truly valuable antiques and paintings, they naturally remained safely in her space.
“We will receive this money on behalf of the organization and will definitely use it wisely!” Director Zhang immediately made the decision.
Even Director Zhang was somewhat moved. This was no small sum! This young lady of the Su family truly understood the greater good!
He immediately stated, "Comrade Su Tang, the organization remembers your contributions! If you have any difficulties or requests, please feel free to raise them, and we will do our best to resolve them!"
This was exactly what Su Tang had been waiting for.
She politely declined her supervisor's offer to assign her work, saying that she was still young and wanted to learn more to enrich herself.
Then, she "casually" mentioned:
"Actually... my family had already arranged a marriage for me with an officer from the 52nd Division in Tibet. My father had always hoped that I could get married soon."
"However, the Tibetan region is far away, and it might be difficult for a young woman like me to complete the necessary procedures..."
