Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire-Chapter 26: Don’t You Dare Give Me a Bonus

"Isn’t that right, Principal Wang?"

Principal Wang reacted quickly.

In an era where honor is above all, how could he refuse a letter of thanks, but he still had to say what needed to be said.

"It’s just what we should do. Compared to the police comrades, what we’ve done is nothing."

"Principal Wang, if it weren’t for your courage and attention to detail, actively seeking solutions, there would have been many tragedies tonight."

"As long as the students are well, we are well; everyone serves the people."

"You’re right."

Principal Wang and Leader Tang were being modest with each other, while Jiang Cheng observed and learned from the side.

They are real masters!

After a round of procedural refusals, Principal Wang accepted the commendation letter from the Public Security Bureau, acting all calm.

"This student Jiang Cheng is very brave, calm and decisive with a good mind, indeed a great comrade."

Leader Tang turned to praise Jiang Cheng, and Principal Wang immediately perked up.

"Student Jiang Cheng is excellent, not only brave and decisive, but also intelligent and eager to learn, a very gifted student."

After a few compliments, they both looked at Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng smiled lightly and said, "Thank you, Principal Wang and Leader Tang for your recognition. Please don’t give me any bonus."

Principal Wang: Underestimated her nerve.

Leader Tang: Did he say anything about giving a bonus?

But indeed the girl did a good deed and deserved some reward.

In the end, Jiang Cheng came out of the Public Security Bureau carrying an enamel basin.

The big red enamel basin contained a towel, a bar of soap, and a tube of toothpaste.

Principal Wang looked at the letter of thanks in his hand, feeling it seemed a bit less fragrant now?

"Principal, I was scared inside! Later, when I mentioned your name, their attitude improved a lot. Principal, you have face. If it weren’t for you, no one could have taken this letter away. This honor should belong to our night school."

Principal Wang suddenly felt fragrant again.

"Jiang Cheng, tell me first next time. I’m the principal, I’ll handle any problems!"

Principal Wang wasn’t stupid and understood Jiang Cheng didn’t inform him earlier because she was afraid things hadn’t happened yet, which might affect him.

But once things really did happen, Jiang Cheng didn’t seek credit, instead, she directly gave the credit and honor to the night school.

"Principal, you are noble."

Jiang Cheng praised once more, making Principal Wang laugh heartily, "You sure know how to talk!"

"Right? I should talk more then."

The way Jiang Cheng readily agreed made Principal Wang unable to suppress his smile.

Principal Wang and several parents waiting outside personally escorted Jiang Cheng back to the courtyard.

After going back to comfort Grandma Shen and the others, Jiang Cheng returned to her room to continue studying, going to bed on time, completely untroubled.

Other families were not so tranquil; the Public Security Bureau was brightly lit throughout the night.

Early the next morning, Jiang Cheng got up for exercise, study, and went to work.

She went straight to work at the recycling station, as usual.

Sister Wang often looked at Jiang Cheng with an aunt-like smile, making Jiang Cheng wonder: maybe her personal charm has been releasing a lot lately?

During lunch, Sister Wang finally couldn’t resist calling out to Jiang Cheng, saying softly, "Xiao Jiang, you’re impressive."

"Sister Wang, you need to elaborate."

"Hahaha! You—my Lao Tang saw you yesterday and said you acted heroically, don’t worry, I won’t say anything."

Sister Wang winked, and Jiang Cheng instantly understood.

Last night, Lao Tang, the well-connected Sister Wang.

It made sense.

Leader Tang and Sister Wang are a married couple.

Jiang Cheng immediately pretended to be slightly embarrassed and said, "Anyone who saw it would do the same."

Jiang Cheng guessed that Leader Tang didn’t mention the human trafficker, just vaguely referred to Jiang Cheng’s bravery.

Sister Wang nodded with a smile, and they went to the cafeteria for lunch together.

All the way, Sister Wang and Jiang Cheng chatted.

As they lifted the curtain to enter the cafeteria, a man rushed out from inside and bumped into Sister Wang.

"Sister Wang!"

Jiang Cheng immediately dropped her lunch box and held onto Sister Wang.

There is a small slope at the cafeteria entrance, and with the momentum, they slid down together, Sister Wang landing on Jiang Cheng.

"Ah—my stomach hurts."

Sister Wang clutched her stomach, starting to cry out, Jiang Cheng reacted the fastest.

"Sister Wang, don’t move, don’t worry!"

A married woman, no child yet, stomach pain. Jiang Cheng would rather overthink than miss anything.

People in the cafeteria heard the commotion and rushed out.

"Director, Sister Wang has a stomachache. This could be a big deal. Let’s find a broad board to carry her to the hospital."

Upon hearing this, the director immediately called for people to find a board and blankets.

He also thought about Sister Wang being married for years, and heard the couple has been trying for a baby.

Just hope nothing goes wrong!

Thinking of this, the director glared.

The culprit, Sister Kong’s son, Dong Zi.

Stunned by the glare, Dong Zi was now staring at Jiang Cheng, eyeing her openly.

This made the director even angrier.

"Comrade Hua, watch your son. If anything happens to Mr. Wang, he has to take responsibility!"

Sister Kong hurriedly ran over and tugged Dong Zi hard.

Dong Zi finally regained his senses, stubbornly saying, "What does it have to do with me! She didn’t know how to walk properly."

Jiang Cheng, comforting Sister Wang, lifted her head. Her pretty face made Dong Zi’s eyes shine even brighter.

"This comrade doesn’t know how to speak, give his tongue to Da Huang, at least it can guard the house."

"You—a little bitch!"

Dong Zi uttered foul words, and Jiang Cheng calmly retorted.

"I say casually, yet you’re eager to jump in and confirm your own identity."

"Putting on a show of the difference between humans and dogs, after all, you speak no human words but bark cheerfully."

"Blindly bumped into someone, still accusing the victim, others learn to be despicable, you were born that way!"

"Sister Kong, don’t worry, Sister Wang’s treatment of you is clear to you. He’s your son; protecting him is your business. But now he bumped into Sister Wang, and is shouting without apology at our recycling station. I would like to ask, who gave him the face? Who gave him the courage?"

The questioning was strikingly powerful.

The recycling station director got fired up as well.

"Well said! This is our recycling station, not your family’s kang, doing whatever you want!"

The people at the recycling station undoubtedly stood on Sister Wang’s side, Sister Kong was filled with guilt, not knowing what to say.

At this moment, the board was brought in.

A lid from a box, with palm-length edges around it.

Several people set up the blankets and carried Sister Wang towards the hospital.

Jiang Cheng naturally followed along.

All the way, Jiang Cheng kept talking to distract Sister Wang, although it was of little effect, couldn’t do nothing.

They arrived at the hospital.

Sister Wang was pushed in for examination.

The nurse came out and handed Jiang Cheng a fee slip.

"Go pay, please."

"Comrade, inside, is the comrade Wang?"

"Pregnant, fortunately, you brought her in quickly without much jostling, saved the situation, but needs to be hospitalized for a few days, the pregnancy is unstable."

"Thank you."

Jiang Cheng thanked, feeling slightly more at ease, indeed pregnant.

Luckily, no serious problems.
