Is Chapter 626 a trap or a compliment?
Sister Ji did not speak.
Because she saw that Lu Qiaoge was no longer the sweet and beautiful girl she had been before, but had a serious expression, as if she had suddenly become a different person.
Seeing that Sister Ji didn't speak, Lu Qiaoge also remained silent, staring straight at her with her bright eyes full of questions.
Sister Ji felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
She had to break the silence first, asking Lu Qiaoge, "Is it... not like that?"
Lu Qiaoge said, "Yesterday, Gu Jiayan and I went to Director Zhou's office because I needed to call Mr. Zhen, a Hong Kong businessman, and ask him to help me get some business."
"They said there was an argument in the house, and Lao Zhou ran out, but you called him back later."
Lu Qiaoge patiently explained, "The neighborhood office is planning to open a women's hygiene products factory. Gu Jiayan and I were discussing this, and Director Zhou felt it was inconvenient for him to listen, so he left. Isn't that normal?"
Then Lu Qiaoge's expression became even more serious: "Sister Ji, I believe that what you heard is exactly what you heard. You would never embellish it, right?"
Sister Ji choked.
He immediately stood still and carefully recalled whether she had embellished the story.
After all, it seems the truth isn't what those people are saying.
Then Sister Ji was also unsure whether she had embellished the story when she was gossiping with those people.
She felt a little guilty. If it really wasn't true, she was quite embarrassed to be asked about it face-to-face by a young girl at her age.
Lu Qiaoge continued to flatter her: "I know you'll definitely be truthful, so Sister Ji, can you tell me who you heard these things from?"
Looking at Lu Qiaoge's serious yet earnest expression, Sister Ji really wanted to turn around and go back to her office.
But for some reason, she couldn't even take a step, and could only say, "...I forgot who said that."
Lu Qiaoge: "Sister Ji, I've heard that you have a very good memory, and it was just this morning, how could you possibly forget who said it?"
Moreover, I will definitely report this to my superiors, as it is clearly aimed at Director Zhou and our colleagues in the Foreign Trade Office.
Of course, it can't be said that it was specifically targeted at me.
After all, the rumors were actually praising me.
But why use praising me to slander Director Zhou?
Isn't this clearly going to cause conflict between me and Director Zhou?
If we two have a conflict, how can the Foreign Trade Office continue its work?
The higher-ups have placed great hopes on us in setting up this office. They've given us the green light no matter what we do. We work diligently and with trepidation, afraid of letting them down.
Lu Qiaoge didn't give Sister Ji a chance to speak. After saying all that, she immediately emphasized another sentence, but her voice was extremely sincere: "It's fortunate that Sister Ji came to talk to me about this, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do. Thank you so much. How about this, if you really can't remember, let's go to Director Lu's office and think about it carefully, okay?"
Sister Ji's face flushed red.
Looking at Lu Qiaoge's sincere eyes with some suspicion, she secretly analyzed whether the girl was trying to trick her or praising her.
Moreover, she finally experienced Lu Qiaoge's abilities firsthand.
She truly deserves to be called the best mediator in Xiangyang Street; she's incredibly eloquent.
Sister Ji just wanted to watch the excitement, and she stopped Lu Qiaoge to chat about gossip.
Who would have thought that things would get so serious as we talked?
How could this happen?
She's spent her whole life gossiping and watching the drama unfold, but this is the first time she's encountered a situation like this.
Lu Qiaoge didn't give Sister Ji a chance to overthink things.
Now that you've stepped forward, come with me to Director Lu's office.
This is currently the best solution.
And at that moment, Lao Zhou happened to be in Lu Ting's office.
Lu Qiaoge grabbed Sister Ji's hand and said righteously, "Sister Ji, you were right about something. I like to step forward when something happens to me. And I found that you are the same kind of person. Otherwise, you wouldn't have pulled me here to say this in private. Let's go to Director Lu's office now. This matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible, or something serious will definitely happen."
Lu Qiaoge spoke as she walked. Sister Ji didn't react at first, but by the time she did, Lu Qiaoge had already pulled her to stand in front of Lu Ting's office.
Lu Qiaoge began knocking on the door.
Standing in front of the leader's office, Sister Ji wanted to turn around and leave, but for some reason, the little girl's hand was particularly strong, yet it didn't hurt her.
And how did she end up here with Lu Qiaoge in such a muddled way?
Sister Ji is now filled with regret.
Why should I get involved in this? What does it have to do with her? She's about to retire. Even if Old Zhou gets ousted, she can't go there to be the director.
But then Lu Ting's voice rang out from inside: "Please come in!"
So Lu Ting and Zhou Director, who were in the office, saw Lu Qiaoge walk in holding Lao Ji's hand.
What's going on?
Even Lao Zhou, who was familiar with Lu Qiaoge's style of doing things, was stunned for a moment.
But he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and even though he didn't know the outcome, he felt completely relaxed.
Since Lu Qiaoge dared to bring Lao Ji here, this so-called rumor will probably be resolved soon.
Sure enough, Sister Ji braced herself and, under Lu Qiaoge's patient guidance, began to recall little by little who she had heard it from.
Because it's impossible for everyone to say the same thing at the same time.
And since she wasn't the one spreading rumors, there must have been someone who told her about it.
Even if three or four people are talking together, who starts the conversation?
What does it mean to follow the clues to find the melon?
This is like following the clues to find the melon!
So this gossip ended up falling on Sister Kang's head.
Just now, Director Lu received a call from Beidu. The caller was Gu Jiayan's mother. Although he didn't know her, Gu Jiayan's mother also worked in the ministry, so Director Lu was naturally very polite to her.
Gu's mother was quite straightforward. She said that her daughter might have been led astray by someone and hoped that Director Lu could pay attention to her and help Gu Jiayan pull back from the brink of making a mistake she shouldn't have made.
Meanwhile, several people had come and gone from Lu's office.
The last person to stand here was Sister Kang, whose face looked grim.
Then there was Gu Jiayan, whose face was equally grim.
She only took a morning off, but she never expected that her workplace would spread so many rumors about her.
Those words shouldn't be thought about too deeply.
Upon reflection, she felt deeply ashamed and indignant.
What do you mean by saying Lao Zhou bullied her?
How can these people spread such baseless rumors?
Her voice trembled as she asked Old Kang, "Sister Kang, I have always respected you, but how could you speak so carelessly without investigating the matter thoroughly?"
Knowing that this matter could not be resolved peacefully, Sister Kang suddenly sneered, "Am I talking nonsense? Didn't you tell me before that Director Zhou and Lu Qiaoge bullied you?"
