Obviously he was such a good detective that his bosses didn't want to lose him if they weren't pleased. If he doesn't find fame and fortune I'm sure his job will be left open for him and they will be delighted to have him back. He's proved how smart he is - but then it seems they know that already.
The other HM's don't want fame and fortune of course - the very thought!
