The high-ranking leader's time was precious, and it was already quite difficult for him to squeeze out more than ten minutes to meet with Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou. After they had finished their conversation, Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou said goodbye to the high-ranking leader.
Before leaving, the leader gestured with his chin toward the bodyguard beside him. The bodyguard jogged out and quickly returned with a wooden box about twenty centimeters long.
The leader took it and then handed it to Fu Wan. Fu Wan was extremely surprised; hadn't she said before that she didn't want a reward?
"Boss, we can't accept the reward; doing these things is what we should do..."
"Aren't you going to open it and take a look? I remember you really liked this."
The top leader smiled, his eyes unusually tinged with a hint of mockery.
Fu Wan wasn't stupid; a thought flashed through her mind—what she liked...could this box contain...?
The senior leader nodded encouragingly, then handed the wooden box to Fu Wan.
"Open it and take a look, I think you'll like it."
Fu Wan did as she was told, her hands trembling slightly as she opened the clasp of the wooden box.
There was a scroll inside the wooden box. As soon as she picked up the scroll, Bai Qianzhou considerately took the wooden box from her.
The scroll unfolds, revealing eight large characters written in bold, flowing calligraphy: "Pillars of the Nation, Boundless Courage."
Below it is the seal of a high-ranking leader and the date of signature; the date is today.
It seems the senior leader had already written this calligraphy before Fu Wan arrived, and the ink had dried while they were chatting, which is why it was sent over now.
As expected of a high-ranking leader, he manages the timing perfectly!
The senior leader, seeing the upturned corners of Fu Wan's mouth, immediately chuckled as well.
"So, do you like it?"
"I like it, thank you, boss."
The senior leader waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me, you deserve this. You are role models for today's young people. I don't know what you like, so I'll just use this to encourage you!"
Fu Wan carefully rolled up the scroll again and put it back into the wooden box, her heart filled with emotion that surged like a tidal wave.
She and Bai Qianzhou exchanged a glance, and then the two of them bowed deeply to the leader.
"Thank you for your encouragement. We will continue to work hard and strive to contribute to China. In the future, whenever the organization needs us, just ask, and we will be ready!"
"good!"
The senior leader nodded in satisfaction. Seeing that it was almost time, the guards escorted Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou out of the courtyard.
The car they took back was the same one they had used to come in, and Sun Shao-ping, who had finished his business, was also in the car.
Seeing Fu Wan carrying the wooden box onto the car, Sun Shaoping was filled with envy. If he remembered correctly, Fu Wan already had two pieces of calligraphy by high-ranking officials.
This time, it wasn't just the letter paper he saw; the leader had even prepared a scroll and a storage box. He had rarely seen anyone receive such an honor.
Not to mention that Fu Wan is just an ordinary person outside the system.
However, after feeling envious, Sun Shao-ping felt mostly proud.
No matter what, Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou are both on his side. Thanks to Fu Wan, this old man has made several trips to Beijing in the past few months and met with high-ranking officials more times than he has in most of his previous life.
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, are you going to stay in Beijing for a couple more days, or buy tickets back to Longhai City as soon as possible?"
Sun Shaoping turned to ask Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou. Bai Qianzhou looked at Fu Wan. He didn't have any relatives in the capital anymore. Apart from Qin Fu, the others were practically nonexistent.
Whether or not she goes back is entirely up to Fu Wan.
Upon hearing Sun Shao-ping's question, Fu Wan immediately replied without hesitation, "Go home!"
What a joke! There's less than a week left until Chinese New Year. The reason she's in such a hurry to come back is, of course, to celebrate the New Year with her family.
Moreover, she has been gone for more than a week. If she doesn't go back soon, Fu Ling and Ye Xiaocui will be waiting anxiously for her.
Sun Shao-ping nodded upon hearing this, having already anticipated this outcome. "Alright, I'll have someone buy you plane tickets; consider it one of the organization's rewards for you."
At this point, Bai Qianzhou suddenly remembered something and hurriedly rummaged through his bag.
"Sir, we haven't used up all the money we spent on the trip..."
"Don't give it to me. You can negotiate with the logistics department later."
He's an old man, how can he meddle in everything? These young people are really abusing the elderly!
However, he was also a little curious. The United States is a developed country, and even though he had never been there, he knew that the cost of living there was not low.
How come these two kids still have money left over?
Now that this was the topic, Fu Wan had something to say. She immediately told Sun Shao-ping about catching several large tuna in the United States, which made Sun Shao-ping extremely envious. Even the guards sitting in front of her kept turning around to listen.
Wow, that's amazing! They didn't just go abroad to spend money, they went abroad to make money!
However, not everyone has such good luck and strength. Sun Shao-ping felt a surge of excitement when he thought of the gold coins that were about to arrive in the waters of China.
Because of Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou's relationship, the higher-ups put him in charge of the whole thing. When buying Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou's return tickets, they also had to buy tickets for him and the guards to Fujian Province.
Hehe, Sun Shao-ping was so excited at the thought of dozens of kilograms of gold waiting for him.
Unfortunately, this is a confidential matter, and apart from Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou, no one else on the car knows about it.
Looking at the calligraphy in Fu Wan's arms, Sun Shao Ping offered Bai Qianzhou some rare words of comfort.
"After everything is settled, I will apply to the higher-ups for other rewards for you. Xiaobai, there's only one piece of calligraphy, so don't worry about it too much."
"How could that be? Awan can take it. I didn't put in much effort myself."
Bai Qianzhou hurriedly waved his hand, saying that even if the big leader had given him two pieces of calligraphy, he would have been too embarrassed to accept them.
Upon hearing this, Sun Shao-ping burst into laughter and patted Bai Qian-zhou's shoulder several times.
"Don't worry, the rewards the camp gives you will satisfy you. And isn't it time to replace your scalpels? I'll take this opportunity to have a good talk with the higher-ups!"
He had a few more things to say. Because Bai Qianzhou had gone abroad to study, his position in the organization had not been able to rise. Now that he was on the list of senior leaders, his status would be more prestigious.
Those who want to suppress him based on his background and status should think twice.
As for Fu Wan, although she wasn't a regular soldier in the camp, Sun Shao-ping had long considered her as one of his own soldiers.
Hmm... This child doesn't accept money from the organization. How about we follow the camp's rules and give her a plaque for first-class or second-class merit, and have someone deliver it to her?
Fu Wan was unaware of what Sun Shao-ping was planning. As she watched the ginkgo trees receding into the distance outside the car, her desire to go home began to grow stronger.
It takes a day and a night to travel from Beijing to Longhai City by train. If I were to fly, would it only take a few hours?
When we go back on a tractor, my parents, brothers, and daughters will be overjoyed!
