Zhao Jianguo thought of many possibilities, but never considered that the anti-drug leadership from the Provincial Department would come to ask about Li Xiang.
After a brief pause, he quickly said, "Li Xiang joined as an auxiliary police officer through public recruitment three years ago. He's been consistently performing well in our unit, hardworking and dedicated. During the harsh winter months, when others were reluctant to go on duty, he volunteered to go. He has received two fourth-level commendations, and earlier this year, he single-handedly captured an 'A' level wanted criminal. Since he wasn't part of our official police staff and his family's financial situation isn't great, we proactively applied for a 300,000 reward for him, which he donated entirely to the victims' families. For this reason, Director Song specifically applied for a second-class merit for him, which is now under review."
