Chapter 620 Something's Going Wrong
Gu Jiayan already had a lot of opinions about Lu Qiaoge.
After failing to find a effective solution, everything bottled up inside, and now it's all suddenly erupting.
However, she still retained a shred of rationality, at least she managed to hold back from making a big fuss.
Gu Jiayan stared intently at Lu Qiaoge, lowering his voice: "Don't pretend to be a good person here. Do you know that I was scolded by Director Zhou? Do you also know that Brother Fang had a conflict with Director Zhou because of me? So now you think I'm a pitiful wretch, like a beggar for a learning opportunity, so you come to pity me and give me a learning opportunity, right?"
At this moment, only Xiao Jiang was in the large office organizing documents.
He already knew what had happened when he went out.
Then Gu Jiayan was in a bad mood.
He had some thoughts he wanted to share with Gu Jiayan, but after thinking about it, he swallowed his words.
Although Gu Jiayan was very humble and polite to them.
But you can still sense her sense of superiority from this attitude.
Then Lu Qiaoge returned again. He saw Lu Qiaoge talking to the Gu family with a smile and breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, they were both girls, and a few words and laughter were enough to ease the tension.
Then Lu Qiaoge went to make a phone call and actually planned to have Gu Jiayan go with her.
This is a good thing.
You should know that Lu Qiaoge is really busy; she only comes and goes quickly when she visits the Foreign Trade Department.
From his perspective, Gu Jiayan could learn anything from anyone if he really wanted to.
Even if Lu Qiaoge comes and goes in a hurry, why not just follow her after Lu Qiaoge arrives?
You do everything for Lu Qiaoge.
Run errands and do odd jobs; put down that arrogant air.
It's not like Lu Qiaoge has to explain and report to her every time he does something.
To everyone's surprise, Gu Jiayan, who shouldn't have gotten angry, actually did, and said such awful things.
Xiao Jiang quickly stood up to smooth things over: "Xiao Gu, why are you making such a big deal out of it? You must have misunderstood something. Don't get agitated or angry. Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, everything will be fine... Come on, I have some fruit candies here, let's each have one to sweeten our mouths."
As he said this, Xiao Jiang had already taken out a handful of fruit candies.
Xiao Jiang is a kind-looking man in his thirties with a round face.
His family is from Haicheng. He came here to work in the countryside in the early 1960s and stayed. His wife is also a local from Jiangcheng.
He was seconded to the Foreign Trade Department because of his outstanding performance, especially at the clothing exhibition jointly organized by Lu Qiaoge and Zhen Xi.
He chuckled and placed the fruit candy next to Gu Jiayan's desk, about to give it to Lu Qiaoge, when Gu Jiayan, in a fit of anger, swept the fruit candy off the desk.
Although they are all state cadres who receive salaries.
But fruit candies are still a good thing.
As Gu Jiayan swept him to the ground, Xiao Jiang's face turned cold.
Little Cangcang, who had flown over with Lu Qiaoge, immediately became excited: [I remembered what the old tortoise said: "When things are out of the ordinary, there's always something fishy going on." This Gu Jiayan is acting very strangely. Little Master, wait here, I'll go out and investigate for you.]
After speaking with Lu Qiaoge, Xiao Cangcang had already flown away and disappeared from sight.
Lu Qiaoge walked over and picked up the fruit candies one by one, then placed them on the desk.
Lu Qiaoge wasn't annoyed or angry, but looked at Gu Jiayan with some surprise: "It seems you have a lot of opinions about me, and you're full of resentment. Is it because I didn't teach you anything?"
Gu Jiayan glared angrily at the innocent-looking Lu Qiaoge, gritting her teeth as she said, "I dare not learn from you, and I don't want to learn from you anymore. I know you're worried that if I learn from you, I'll steal your thunder, right?"
Lu Qiaoge put away her smile and didn't intend to use grand principles to argue with Gu Jiayan.
Instead, he grabbed her hand and said in an unyielding tone, "Since you put it that way, you should come with me to Director Zhou's office. I'll call President Zhen, and you can listen carefully and see what you can learn..."
Gu Jiayan tried to break free, but there was no way she could escape Lu Qiaoge's grasp.
Then Lu Qiaoge pulled him to knock on the door of Director Zhou's office.
Director Zhou now appeared calm.
While engaging in foreign trade, we have never forgotten to remain vigilant and prevent a recurrence of the shoe factory smuggling incident.
After all, Xiangyang Food Factory is attracting too much attention right now.
Therefore, Gu Jiayan and Deputy Section Chief Fang's unusual behavior today aroused Lao Zhou's vigilance. So he needed to report to the higher-ups in advance to prevent any problems from arising. Of course, it would be best if there were no problems, but if there were, they could be resolved in a timely manner.
In the face of such struggles, these veteran comrades never showed any mercy.
Unexpectedly, less than five minutes after sitting down, Lu Qiaoge dragged Gu Jiayan, whose eyes were wide and face was ashen, into his office.
Lu Qiao closed the office door, then said gently to Lao Zhou, "Director Zhou, I need to call President Zhen. I'd like to ask him to help me procure a set of machinery for producing hygiene products..."
At this moment, Lu Qiaoge also let go of her hand.
Director Zhou pretended not to have seen what had just happened, picked up the phone and made a call, which was transferred to Zhen Xi's office through the switchboard.
This line is dedicated, and the telephones are also custom-made.
Unlike the common phone calls nowadays where the volume fluctuates, the signal is intermittent, and the call can drop mid-conversation.
These problems do not exist here.
The call quality was excellent, and the switchboard transfer was fast.
When you place the phone receiver on your desk, others can hear the person on the other end.
Gu Jiayan, whose face was pale, knew about this phone call.
But she was dragged in by Lu Qiaoge and really wanted to turn around and leave.
However, she was somewhat frightened because she had never seen Lu Qiaoge like this before. She was so strong that she couldn't break free at all.
Although she looked all smiles, it gave her a creepy feeling.
While lost in thought, the call connected. Lu Qiaoge and Zhen Xi greeted each other, and then Lu Qiaoge said, "President Zhen, the Xiangyang Subdistrict Office is preparing to open a women's hygiene products factory. I have some information: there's a factory in your Gangcheng Houtian Avenue area that produces similar products and wants to replace their old equipment. They're planning to sell their old machines. Could you please help me find out the price?"
Zhen Xi agreed readily, saying, "I'll let you know tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Zhen."
Then the two of them hung up the phone.
Lu Qiaoge didn't avoid Director Zhou and asked Gu Jiayan directly, "Comrade Gu, what did you glean from the conversation just now?"
Gu Jiayan gritted his teeth and glared at Lu Qiaoge: "I don't know the whole story, what can I possibly glean from just a few words?"
