Chapter 635 But actually I learned a lot
This batch of orders was being processed very quickly, so Lu Qiaoge asked Meng Qingshan to arrange for the workers to take turns resting, and then staff from the office came down to the workshop to cover for them.
The number of office staff at Xiangyang Food Factory is not large, which is within the normal range.
Although they are also very busy, overall, those who sit in the office have a much easier time than the workers who go down to the factory.
Therefore, when the factory arranges for workers to take turns resting, the vacant positions are filled by office staff.
It can be said that the staff in the office of Xiangyang Food Factory did not have much of a sense of superiority or leisure.
There is virtually no phenomenon of people knitting, reading newspapers, drinking tea, or chatting while at work.
After finishing her overtime work, Lu Qiaoge also had time to keep an eye on Liang Min.
Since Lu Qiaoge went to the Tian family that day, Liang Min's eyes were a little red and swollen when she came to work the next day, but her mental state was obviously very good. It can be seen that in this family upheaval, Liang Min still had the upper hand.
Liang Min looked at Lu Qiaoge with gratitude in her eyes.
Lu Qiaoge winked at her playfully.
The two of them smiled knowingly.
These days, Liang Min continues to work overtime, while Old Tian's wife cooks dinner. But she doesn't do everything herself like before; she feels sorry for her husband who can't cook, for her son who is clumsy, and even for her youngest son who still has to go to school.
She seemed to have suddenly figured things out, and she was able to completely control these three people.
Regardless, Liang Min no longer has any worries.
She can work overtime with everyone without worry.
You can eat delicious meals at work instead of rushing to catch the bus.
Instead, they calmly lined up with everyone else.
And this time the overtime pay was very generous.
Those who performed exceptionally well were given prizes.
The prizes are very substantial.
The rice, soybean oil, and wheat flour were each given ten jin (5 kg). Since it was summer, each person was given three jin (1.5 kg) of pork, five jin (2.5 kg) of eggs, and a preserved duck.
These are all truly good things.
You can imagine how happy his family would be to take it back.
Liang Min is hardworking, skilled, and quick. She is always the first to finish production tasks, and when working with other workers, she does the most work.
She was also among those who received natural rewards.
After taking these things back, Old Lady Tian secretly patted her chest.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly that day, and fortunately, she didn't argue with Lu Qiaoge.
Otherwise, her daughter-in-law would not only lose her job and income, but also all these things.
Although I also feel that it's not necessarily okay to fire workers and prevent them from working now.
But at the time, Lu Qiaoge spoke with great righteousness and conviction, and even acted as if she was the one in charge.
Moreover, Old Lady Tian knew that even if this matter escalated, no one would side with her. On the contrary, they would criticize her for being selfish and disregarding the bigger picture.
So thankfully, we didn't fall out.
——
Lu Qiaoge drove to the Foreign Trade Bureau.
It's already mid-July.
The subdistrict office just received a document from above, saying that there may be earthquakes of varying degrees in northern China this month, and that all provinces and cities should prepare for earthquake resistance.
However, no one can be sure which day it will be.
Lu Qiaoge had already planned ahead, so she didn't panic when she received the notification. Instead, she calmly arranged the work at the food factory and the handicraft factory.
Lao Hu and the others praised Lu Qiaoge for having the demeanor of a great general.
This document finally gave Gu Jiayan an excuse and reason to return to Beidu.
A few days ago, after a series of interrogations by the security department, it turned out to be pretty much what Lu Qiaoge had guessed: Deputy Section Chief Fang and Sister Kang had no suspicious points. Then, Sister Kang insisted that she had figured it out herself.
She also said that she saw Gu Jiayan's red and swollen eyes and that he went to the post office to call home.
So, after her analysis, the above-mentioned events occurred.
So she also made a mistake, and no matter how the organization dealt with her, Lao Kang had no objection.
This person was originally in the office, but has now been temporarily placed in the logistics department.
It was much simpler with Deputy Section Chief Fang. He took the initiative to go to Director Lu to apologize, saying that he had handled the matter inappropriately and that he shouldn't have gone to Lao Zhou for an explanation. He said that all of Lao Zhou's arrangements were reasonable and based on evidence.
Besides, they're not from the same department, so he has no right to interfere.
Then Director Lu gave him a severe scolding and, for some reason, also transferred Deputy Section Chief Fang to the logistics department.
Although I didn't work with Lao Kang, we were in the same department.
He was still the deputy section chief, but he was in charge of health-related work. He was indeed very relaxed, but he also had no real power.
After all, he used to be able to stamp some approval documents.
When Lu Qiaoge arrived at the Foreign Trade Hall, Gu Jiayan had already packed her things. When she saw Lu Qiaoge, she pursed her lips, suppressed the jealousy and unspeakable grievances in her heart, and apologized to Lu Qiaoge.
Lu Qiaoge was a little speechless and asked directly, "What did you do wrong that you need to apologize to me for?"
Gu Jiayan stared blankly at Lu Qiaoge, whose eyes were clear. Her lips moved, and she wanted to say that this was her mother's request, but she couldn't say it.
Two days ago, her mother called her and patiently talked to her for a long time.
But her words implied that the problem lay with her.
It was her own flawed thinking that led her to be misled by that older woman surnamed Kang, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
But it's too late to say all this now.
Gu Jiayan took several deep breaths to calm himself down and said, "My mistake was thinking I hadn't learned anything, but actually I've learned a lot."
Lu Qiaoge gave Gu Jiayan a serious look.
Learning from one's mistakes, one becomes wiser; it doesn't mean one is completely stupid.
Lu Qiaoge tidied up the documents on the table; she was going to Guangcheng in a few days.
A preliminary agreement has been reached with Miss Ruth, but a face-to-face meeting is still required.
This time, Lu Qiaoge must go in person.
Due to time constraints, this time we won't take the train, but will take the military's plane to Guangcheng, so we can arrive on the same day.
There was no time to worry about Comrade Gu Jiayan's little schemes.
Unexpectedly, Gu Jiayan took the initiative to ask, "Um... Xiao Lu, is there anything I can do for you?"
Lu Qiaoge didn't refuse, and said with a smile, "Then you help me organize the documents. Once you're done, we'll call Chairman Luo..."
Gu Jiayan has a smart mother who truly teaches her daughter step by step.
Gu Jiayan always felt that she hadn't learned anything, which was because she was used to being taught by her mother step by step.
In fact, given her current state, she would be more than capable of handling any job.
Look at him now, Gu Jiayan's speed in organizing these tedious and complicated documents is much better than that of ordinary office workers.
Just as I was busy, Old Zhou arrived.
Old Zhou thought for a moment and then said to everyone, "Little Gu has been here for a while now, and he'll be returning to Beidu in a few days. I originally wanted to give Comrade Little Gu a farewell party, but as you all saw the document issued today, the situation is very serious. Right now, we're focusing all our efforts on this matter, and everything else has to take a backseat..."
