One week later.
The case of the human traffickers has been settled.
Most of the trafficked children and women have been rescued.
Why do I say "most"?
Because some children have died for various reasons, and as for the trafficked women, they are basically sold to poor mountain villages where it is difficult to find wives.
Some of the women who were trafficked there had already given birth to several children, and because they couldn't bear to leave their children, they settled down in the area.
There were also women who refused to be trafficked and, after being trafficked, chose to die rather than submit, and were beaten to death or met with accidents while trying to escape.
Because this case has caused a huge uproar.
The authorities also paid close attention to the case, so all those involved were dealt with severely.
The traffickers who left Beijing to contact buyers were also caught, along with the previous 25 traffickers, and all of them were executed.
Other individuals involved in the case, those with serious offenses, were forced to eat peanuts.
Even those whose offenses weren't considered serious were sentenced.
Gao Yan, along with Chen Manjun and Yang Haijun, helped find more than a dozen trafficked children, which can be considered a great achievement.
Therefore, the Public Security Bureau, the neighborhood committee, and the factory all gave Gao Yan a reward.
The bonus alone is 200 yuan.
The Public Security Bureau and the Subdistrict Office each received a reward of 50 yuan, while the garment factory received 100 yuan and a considerable amount of cloth coupons.
After all, garment factories make clothes, and the one thing they have in abundance is cloth ration coupons.
Chen Manjun and Yang Haijun did not receive as much bonus as Gao Yan, but the factory promoted Chen Manjun to a higher level, and Yang Haijun was promoted from apprentice to full-time employee.
Meanwhile, Gao Yan and the other two were all in the newspaper.
In the following days, the families of the abducted children came to Gao Yan and his two companions with gifts to express their gratitude.
Of course, not all parents came.
Only eleven families came.
After all, not everyone will be grateful.
Gao Yan didn't care about this. He only went to look for people because Old Tong's grandson had gone missing. The other children were rescued as an afterthought.
Even if none of the children's parents come, he won't say anything; he genuinely doesn't need the little things they bring.
After all, his daily life gift pack card would give out a lot of daily necessities every day.
Even with his wife, sister-in-law, and Zhao Jingchu and her daughter, he had more than enough to support. Usually, after a while, he would go to the black market to dispose of these extra items.
Chen Manjun gained many benefits from going with Gao Yan to find the child.
The Chen family is also grateful.
So, tonight I prepared a big feast and invited Gao Yan's family over for dinner, and I also called Yang Haijun over.
During the meal, the Chen family of four were very hospitable.
In particular, Chen Manjun kept offering toasts, which made him extremely happy.
Let's not talk about how I was lucky enough to get a permanent position before.
Not long after, because he followed Gao Yan to find the child, his work rank was promoted again.
The factory is now very strict about the job level. You can't just get promoted if you have the skills. Even though Chen Manjun only got promoted one level, there are so many people who envy him.
All of this was thanks to Gao Yan, so he was extremely grateful to Gao Yan.
The following evening, Yang Haijun also put a lot of effort into cooking a meal at home and invited Gao Yan's family and Chen Manjun's family to eat and drink!
But he was reprimanded by Gao Yan.
However, after the meal, Gao Yan gave Yang Haijun two jin of fine grain coupons and ten jin of coarse grain coupons.
This kid practices martial arts every day and has a huge appetite. His usual portion is never enough, and after this treat, it's even more difficult for him. That's why Gao Yan scolded him: don't try to put on a show!
Two more days have passed.
Gao Yan ran into Li Yuanjun after get off work.
The other party came specifically to wait for him.
"Director Li, is there something you need?"
Gao Yan asked.
"Section Chief Gao, I'd like to invite you to dinner!" Li Yuanjun said generously.
Why?
Gao Yan asked.
Li Yuanjun said, "Finding those children is all thanks to you. I got a raise from my superiors, and as the saying goes, 'Don't forget the well-digger when you drink the water,' so I thought I'd treat you to a meal to express my gratitude!"
"Director Li, you're too kind!"
"Alright, men, just say yes or no, shall we?" Li Yuanjun urged.
"That works too. When?"
Li Yuanjun said, "Let's do it today. I've already bought the groceries. We'll eat at my place. You don't mind, do you?"
"Okay, but I need to go home and tell my wife before I go!"
"Alright, now you know my house, right?"
"I know you. Didn't I take you home last time?"
"My home is in the backyard. I've arranged for my son, Xiaoxing, to wait for you far away!"
"Okay, it's settled then!"
Gao Yan returned home, put down the meat, told Li Mengyao that he wouldn't be eating at home, and then took two bottles of wine, a pound of sugar, and some pastries to Li Yuanjun's house!
When Gao Yan arrived at the courtyard house where Li Yuanjun lived, he indeed saw a little boy with a bowl cut standing in front of the gate.
"Uncle, my mom told me to wait for you here!"
The little boy was quite clever; as soon as he saw Gao Yan, he immediately greeted him.
"Are you Xiaoxing?"
"Yes, Uncle, my mom has already prepared the meal and is just waiting for you to eat!"
"Here, have some candy!"
Gao Yan took out two White Rabbit milk candies and handed them to Xiao Xing.
But Xiaoxing shook her head: "Thank you, Uncle, but my mom told me I can't accept things from strangers!"
"Your mother and I are friends, we're practically family!"
Gao Yan explained with a smile.
