The next day, the county held another commendation meeting. At this commendation meeting, all the militia members who participated in the regional competition received an award, each given a printed bedspread, with a corner bearing a memorial of the Fucheng County regional martial arts competition. The militia members who won another prize received a bonus; one runner-up and two third-place winners, all eligible youths, had their enlistment procedures directly processed upon their agreement.
Ling Chengyan, slightly older and with two children to take care of, was given a job placement quota.
What left Deputy Director Qian and others in shock was that Ling Chengyan's placement was not discussed in the county, nor went through county procedures. Her materials were directly compiled and personally delivered to the military district by Zhang Hanchao.
