Chapter 622 Waiting for you to come back and cook
Lu Qiaoge then pointed to the work procedures and regulations posted on the wall: "Open your eyes and take a good look. Which of these regulations stipulates that only I, Lu Qiaoge, can contact them?"
"Gu Jiayan, you can call Chairman Zhen and Chairman Luo anytime you need them, as long as the leaders agree."
At this moment, Xiao Cangcang also returned.
Tell Lu Qiaoge what just happened in a simple and concise way.
Lu Qiao then realized that several things had happened during the time she was away.
Why did Deputy Section Chief Fang suddenly speak up for Gu Jiayan?
Unfortunately, Xiao Cangcang couldn't find out what Deputy Section Chief Fang and Gu Jiayan said in the corridor at the time...
Lu Qiaoge asked with a serious expression, "Gu Jiayan, why aren't you answering me?"
Gu Jiayan: "..."
A layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.
Unexpectedly, Lu Qiaoge was so quick-witted that she managed to leave Lu Qiaoge speechless from this angle.
Moreover, she has never thought about these things from this perspective.
These people are not exclusive to Lu Qiaoge; Director Zhou and Lao Jiang have also contacted Chairman Zhen and his group.
So what Lu Qiaoge said is correct.
Old Zhou felt a headache coming on; a very simple matter had been made so complicated by human intervention.
Lu Qiaoge said, "Director Zhou, I'm going back to 516 now. Call me if you need anything."
Then, helplessly, she said to Gu Jiayan, "Why are you just keeping silent and not answering my questions?"
"Alright, come out with me. Let's not disturb Director Zhou's work."
If Gu Jiayan were to leave Director Zhou's office like this, and if someone with ulterior motives were to misinterpret the situation, who knows what kind of rumors might spread.
Therefore, Lu Qiaoge brought Gu Jiayan along, so naturally she also had to take this person out with her.
Old Zhou waved his hand, saying crisply yet meaningfully, "Focus your energy on your work, don't waste it on other things. Alright... go on with your work."
Gu Jiayan felt his steps were heavy, as if they were filled with lead.
His expression was full of shame and anger.
I feel both regret and hatred.
I regret that I shouldn't have gone to Lao Zhou today to ask for an explanation.
How could I not have figured out something so simple?
She can completely control this network of connections herself.
Why go through Lu Qiaoge?
This isn't Lu Qiaoge's exclusive network of connections.
He hated Lu Qiaoge.
Why don't you talk to her like this when you're always in such a hurry?
If I had taken her to make the call earlier, would she have realized the truth and wouldn't have gone to Lao Zhou for an explanation today?
If she doesn't seek an explanation from Lao Zhou, will Brother Fang also avoid conflict with Lao Zhou?
Gu Jiayan felt extremely headache-inducing.
He left Lao Zhou's office with a grim expression, heading towards the main office without even glancing at Lu Qiaoge.
After thinking for a moment, he turned and walked outside.
She needs to go to the post office to make a phone call to her family. What should she do in this situation? She's actually feeling quite lost right now.
Lu Qiaoge returned to the main office.
Xiao Jiang over there quickly looked at Lu Qiaoge and asked with concern, "How are you two doing...?"
Lu Qiaoge smiled and said, "There's no need to worry if we didn't argue."
Before leaving, I told Xiao Jiang, "I just called President Zhen, and he promised to go over there and check on the situation... If Director Zhou isn't here, he might call our office. If you answer, Brother Jiang, just call me back."
Xiao Jiang readily agreed.
The two of them tacitly refrained from mentioning Gu Jiayan again.
Lu Qiaoge thanked Xiao Jiang and quickly left the Foreign Trade Hall.
——
By the time Lu Qiaoge and Qin Hengzhi finished dinner, the moon was high in the sky.
As Lu Qiaoge passed by the food factory, she saw several large buses waiting at the gate, which were there specifically to pick up the employees who had been working overtime these past few days.
Then Lu Qiaoge also saw more than a dozen bicycles parked on the side of the road, obviously used to pick up their wives or partners from get off work.
Another order has been placed from Chuhe, Nanyang.
Then, in a few days, President Chu will also be coming here.
But the surge in orders is thanks to Chao Hai Guang.
It might seem a bit unfair to say that Bengbu was fighting over something and that the fisherman would benefit, but in reality, it's pretty much true.
But no matter what, it won't be so easy to bring down or take over Xiangyang Instant Noodle Factory.
After all, some policies may not be beneficial to economic development, but they are actually a form of protection for Xiangyang Food Factory.
Moreover, Lu Qiaoge didn't give the other party that chance.
Her information network is very extensive.
She has a group of adorable friends who can travel to all parts of the world anytime, anywhere.
Qin Hengzhi drove the car past the entrance of the food factory. Lu Qiaoge didn't let Qin Hengzhi stop the car, but she turned her head to look at the entrance.
His brows furrowed slightly.
It's 9 p.m. now.
Overtime pay is mandatory, and the cafeteria will also provide extra meals.
However, one female employee in the crowd looked anxious and was tightly clutching the bag in her handbag.
When the car door opened, she was the first to rush in.
No one around them had any objections.
An older woman said, "Liang Min, don't worry. These past few days have been special; we all need to work overtime. You can't go home on time to cook. Your mother-in-law will definitely understand. Besides, she's healthy and can cook; she can't possibly be waiting for you to come home and cook right now."
Lu Qiaoge's brows furrowed slightly.
Most of the female workers at Xiangyang Food Factory are in a situation where they have elderly parents to care for and young children to raise.
Most of them are under the dual pressure of work and family.
Every day when the get off work bell rings, many married female employees drag their tired bodies into the crowd leaving get off work, rushing home to dive headfirst into the battlefield of cooking and cleaning.
Liang Min was one of these female workers.
Lu Qiaoge had heard of the name Liang Min.
She was a woman of few words but quick and efficient.
She used to be a temporary worker on a construction team, but later she passed the recruitment exam for a food factory and became a full-time worker.
As for her family situation, Lu Qiaoge didn't know much about it.
I thought to myself that I should talk to Meng Qingshan and Sister Zhao about it tomorrow.
For families with special circumstances, please do not schedule them to work overtime.
Reality is often helpless and cruel.
For various reasons, even she had to bow to this reality.
Qin Hengzhi asked Lu Qiaoge in a low voice, "Do you want to get out of the car?"
Lu Qiaoge shook her head: "No need, let's go straight home."
Meanwhile, the first bus, filled with workers working overtime, had already started moving slowly.
Lu Qiaoge also heard a man say gently, "Wife, you must be exhausted. I made some wontons with pork and scallion filling. I'll cook you a bowl when we get home."
Someone nearby said with a smile, "Engineer Wu, could you cook me a bowl too?"
Engineer Wu continued in a gentle voice, "I'm so sorry, I only ordered one bowl."
Lu Qiaoge couldn't hear what was said after that, but her furrowed brows had relaxed.
Perhaps this is life.
