Chapter 727: The Desk Was Removed

"This kid is really particular. He never comes back empty-handed."

After seeing Liu Wenpei off, Tang Meile closed the courtyard door and walked into the house muttering happily.

Lu Miao had just finished refilling the children's bowls and turned to ask her:

"Uncle Ling's family already knows the news, but we don't know anything?"

"We're far away now, unlike when we lived in the alleys before. We're not as well-informed... Your father should be in contact with your Uncle Xie. Ask him when he comes back later."

"Um……"

Lu Miao nodded slightly.

Suddenly, my knees felt heavy, and the fat girl who had just been feeling unwell today came over with a small bowl in her hand.

"Mom, it's delicious. I want more next time!"

"Okay, more."

Lu Miao smiled, his eyes as gentle as water as he touched her little head with dark hair.

It was evening, the sun had rested for most of its time, and there was a rare breeze outside.

Tang Mei cleaned the small pot and started to cook dinner for the adults.

Taking advantage of their free time, Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou took the children to a nearby park to help digest their food.

Several little mouths chirped like sparrows, calling "brothers and sisters" all the way.

Familiar neighbors and strangers turned to look at him, and all of them sighed in their hearts:

"What a lively family."

The children were playing on the seesaw and swinging in the park, while Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou were sitting on a bench in the afterglow of the sunset.

"Let's talk to Mei Zi tomorrow and give her an extra ten dollars a month so she can come over and help with some chores when she's free, leaving Auntie free to focus on taking care of the kids. What do you say?"

"It's all up to you. Just make up your mind."

"Okay... we don't need that little money anyway."

Lu Miao kept on rambling, holding one of his hands and pinching it playfully:

"By then, set aside some extra money for food, and have Meizi go there whenever she's free to catch some fresh shrimp, clams, beef, and whatever else she finds."

"Balanced nutrition, building a good foundation from a young age, will give you a strong body."

Fu Jingyou nodded gently: "Okay."

He has no objection.

We were poor in the past, so I thought it was okay to eat anything as long as it filled my stomach.

Now that I have the conditions, I am no longer so concerned about being stingy.

Children should not only eat enough, but also eat well.

Lu Miao was thinking about this, and went to look for Mei Zi after taking a walk back.

After settling the matter, she went home and met Lu Yuanzheng, who had returned. She took the opportunity to ask him about the Xie family.

Lu Yuanzheng said "hmm" and explained:

"I did call, but I was so busy that I forgot what I was doing and didn't tell you... You two should go about your business first, and I'll go over to their house to get engaged."

After he finished speaking, he said:

"You are friends with their future daughter-in-law. It won't be too late for you to go on their wedding day."

When you have nothing to do, you must go and have some fun.

Now that the young couple have serious things to do, Lu Yuanzheng lets them focus on himself first.

Lu Miao nodded after careful consideration and asked again:

"When are they going to get engaged and married? Have they said everything?"

"The engagement is on the 28th of this month, and the wedding is said to be on October 1st, during National Day."

Lu Miao said "Oh" and said nothing more.

Xie Fei and Gu Ying were engaged, and Lu Miao followed the arrangements of his elders and did not ask for leave to go.

But she and Gu Ying are friends after all, and they have known each other for many years. She can't wait to visit, so she must pass on the friendship.

Gifts are required for marriage, but giving a red envelope as a gift for engagement is a bit abrupt.

After thinking about it, Lu Miao took out some cloth left in the kang cabinet.

Looking back at Gu Ying's stature, I thought about giving her a set of clothes as a gift.

At first glance, their figures are pretty much the same, so it's easy to just adjust some details.

Lu Miao started working on it that night, but he only worked on making a layout.

It's not good to turn on the lights at night, and Fu Jingyou always disturbs her while holding the child, preventing her from doing more.

She glared at him a few times and then just went along with what he said.

There is still a week left before Xie Fei and Gu Ying's engagement, so there is no need to rush.

After that, I can do it every day after coming back from the British Publishing House.

The most difficult and troublesome part of making clothes is pattern making and cutting.

Lu Miao has already completed half of the big task, and as for the rest of the tasks like operating the sewing machine, she is very proficient.

It's no trouble at all.

But speaking of which, let’s talk about the British News Agency.

The next day, when Lu Miao stepped into the lobby of the Kuo Ying She Society with a canvas bag on his shoulder, inquiring eyes immediately gathered from all directions.

She noticed something was wrong and turned her eyes to look over.

The people around her turned sideways to avoid making eye contact with her.

Something is wrong.

Lu Miao was sensitive enough to sense that something was wrong, but he didn't want to pursue the matter further, so he calmed down and went upstairs holding the strap of the canvas bag on his shoulder.

But when I got to Translation Group 6, I was stunned again.

She arrived early and there was no one in Workshop Group 6 yet.

But originally there were six desks, but now there are only five left.

Looking around, she found that everyone's table was still the same, only hers was gone.

“…”

Lu Miao was confused and a little bewildered.

Standing blankly at the door of the workshop, she turned her head and looked back and forth, wondering whether she should step in now.

Just when I was at a loss, someone suddenly pushed me on the back with both hands.

She stumbled forward and just managed to stop herself when Chen Mei came over and excitedly grabbed her hand:

"Xiao Lu, you're really quite capable!"

"Um?"

"You don't know yet!"

Seeing her confused face, she stood at the door for a long time, neither moving forward nor backward.

Chen Mei understood something, winked at her, pulled her aside and whispered with a smile:

"Team Leader Chen... No, you can't call him Team Leader Chen anymore. It's Comrade Chen Qinghai. He's been removed from his position and transferred to another group!"

"…dismissal and transfer?"

Lu Miao was stunned for a moment. She really didn't know about this.

Chen Mei nodded repeatedly and continued:

"The one taking over now is the former deputy team leader Wang Liming!"

Lu Miao nodded thoughtfully.

Chen Qinghai's character was quite problematic, and she had determined from the beginning that he would not go far in his career.

Now that Chen Qinghai has fallen, Lu Miao is not surprised at all except for being stunned when he first heard the news.

The former deputy director, Wang Liming, was a pretty good person, so Lu Miao had no objection to him taking over.

That's right...

Lu Miao pulled Chen Mei and asked seriously:

"Sister Chen, where is my table?"

The table was gone when she arrived today.

What is the situation now?

Was it because she left early yesterday and something went wrong, so she was punished and not allowed to work anymore, or what?

She was really confused.

"Your table?"

Chen Mei looked at her in surprise, then immediately laughed out loud:

"Your table? Now I'm afraid I'll have to go to the third floor to find it!"

“…”

The incoherent sentence made Lu Miao even more confused.

As for the matter of receiving the foreign staff, even if we don't take into account her early departure, the translation work she did during those few days alone was not enough to warrant a reward or medal.

After all, which of the seniors didn't work harder than her?
