Chapter 625 Who told you that?
Lu Qiaoge was also quite surprised.
What happened just yesterday has already spread throughout the country today?
These people must be quite idle.
But actually, the foreign trade department in Jiangcheng is quite busy.
The sunflower seeds from the sunflower seed factory, the instant noodles from the branch factory, and the pickles from the pickle factory.
Wild vegetables are not to be outdone; some bracken has already been exported to Japan.
Many people there enjoy eating the local mountain delicacies and wild vegetables.
They just prefer to eat fresh food, but that's not very practical; everything is dried.
However, the export volume is actually not large because the other party has strict requirements.
Speaking of which, the Foreign Trade Department has quite a few people, and after so many years of development, it seems to have become even more overstaffed.
Therefore, many people would spend their days drinking tea from a large mug and reading newspapers.
Lu Qiaoge drove towards the Foreign Trade Hall. She didn't care about Gu Jiayan, but Lao Zhou was a good person, a hard-working person, and a good cadre with a quick mind.
From the start of their collaboration until now, she and Lao Zhou have had almost no conflicts.
First, she has not done anything out of line.
Secondly, Lao Zhou not only cooperated with her in the best possible way, but also gave her his full support.
She couldn't let unimportant people tarnish Lao Zhou's reputation.
When Lu Qiaoge arrived at the Foreign Trade Hall and walked down the corridor, the employees in the open offices all looked at her.
The composition of those gazes is very complex.
Some were mildly indignant, some were envious, some praised, and some were simply gloating.
Whenever someone's gaze met Lu Qiaoge's, Lu Qiaoge would smile back.
The person felt embarrassed and quickly turned away to get back to work.
No one talked about it when we were working in the office.
Little Cangcang had already made a preliminary inspection.
It told Lu Qiaoge that Lao Zhou was now in Lu Ting's office, talking about the gossip that had spread in the blink of an eye.
Old Zhou said he was upright and had nothing to fear, and it was impossible to bring him down over such a trivial matter.
However, what the two people were talking about was why such rumors were circulating.
Both of them believed that the rumor was highly targeted.
It's not that they don't care; on the contrary, they value it very much.
Lu also told his secretary to secretly investigate where the rumors came from.
Little Cangcang flew back and forth again to find the source of the rumor.
Lu Qiaoge looked at the third office, from which a woman walked out. She was Sister Ji, who loved to gossip and watch the excitement.
Actually, this matter is very simple and easy to solve.
Since Sister Ji seemed to enjoy the drama and even blocked her way, as if she wanted to find out something, let's start with Sister Ji.
If Lu Qiaoge had walked a little faster, she could have missed Sister Ji and gone to her own office.
Their office is newly established and is directly under the jurisdiction of Director Lu.
No one and nothing else concerns this office.
The Foreign Trade Office stands out from the crowd, receiving priority in supplying everything.
One time, these people were so busy making replicas of cultural relics that they didn't have time to eat lunch.
Then the cafeteria manager personally delivered the food to the office.
All office expenses are given priority for approval.
Not to mention, the Foreign Trade Office is not a place for idle chatter.
So almost no one comes here.
But Lu Qiaoge deliberately slowed down, which allowed Sister Ji to block her way.
Sister Ji is about to retire. Because her family has some connections in Jiangcheng, she has been given a sinecure position just before her retirement.
If she were of a high enough rank, her actions would be considered stepping down to the second line.
Based on current information, Sister Ji's background appears to be legitimate.
However, she and Lao Zhou had a conflict.
When this foreign trade office was established, Sister Ji wanted to be the deputy director, but Lao Zhou disagreed.
So far, there is no deputy director, only Lao Zhou.
The only person in this group is Lu Qiaoge, who has neither background nor education, but is the most important one.
Lu Qiaoge's smooth sailing from the moment she joined the subdistrict office was because she always went with the flow, doing what she could and refusing to touch what she couldn't.
There is never any such thing as rising to the challenge.
Moreover, she has many supporters.
Because of the large number of supporters, all the difficulties and troubles involving Lu Qiaoge will be resolved by these people.
Therefore, Lu Qiaoge will not have any conflicts or disputes with anyone outside the office.
These people also seemed to treat her with indifference.
As for Gu Jiayan... she wasn't taken seriously by these people at all, because she was here to study and would stay in Beidu after graduation, so there was no way she would work here.
In the blink of an eye, many thoughts were running through Lu Qiaoge's mind.
She smiled at Sister Ji standing in front of her, pretending not to know anything, and said very politely, "I know you are Sister Ji, a veteran of the Foreign Trade Department. Hello, hello!"
Sister Ji blinked her eyes.
She and Lu Qiaoge had barely exchanged a few words.
We bumped into each other twice, smiled and nodded, and then went about our own business.
But to everyone's surprise, Lu Qiaoge was not at all the arrogant and pretentious person these people described. The girl was pretty, spoke softly, and had a sweet smile.
Sister Ji also smiled broadly: "Oh, Director Lu, to be honest, this is the first time we've spoken since you were seconded to the Foreign Trade Department."
Lu Qiaoge's voice was soft and gentle: "Yes, I didn't expect to be able to talk to Sister Ji today. Please don't call me Director Lu anymore, you can call me Xiao Lu or Qiaoge."
The two stood in front of the corridor wall. The older sister was even more impressed with Lu Qiaoge because she thought she was so easy to talk to.
She pulled Lu Qiaoge a few steps forward. This was a corner, and there was no one around.
Here she comes, here she comes, Sister Ji is definitely going to talk about what happened yesterday.
Lu Qiaoge blinked, looking quite surprised, and asked, "Sister Ji, did you want to talk to me about something?"
She also lowered her voice when she said this.
Sister Ji lowered her voice and said with great admiration, "Little Lu, there are very few girls as righteous as you. I really didn't expect you to stand up for Director Zhou and help Gu Jiayan get justice. No wonder everyone says you are the best mediator in Xiangyang Subdistrict Office."
Lu Qiaoge's eyes widened suddenly: "Sister Ji, did I hear that right? You just said that I stepped forward to go to Director Zhou's office to seek justice for Gu Jiayan?"
Sister Ji countered, "Isn't that right?"
Lu Qiaoge thought to herself, "Luckily, this Sister Ji has a sinecure. If she were to do something useful, she would definitely be a mess."
People like this should retire early.
Lu Qiaoge's expression immediately turned serious: "Sister Ji, who told you that?"
Sister Ji said naturally, "Everyone in the office says that when I go to work in the morning."
Lu Qiaoge frowned: "Everyone in the office says so, so who are all the people in this office?"
