Chapter 1136: Addicted to Being an Official
It wasn't early at this time, and there were a few people doing business in the hall.
Lu Miao and Wang Yuehua stood in line at the back of the crowd.
Before it was their turn, Lu Miao took the information brought by Wang Yuehua and looked through it carefully.
After confirming that their documents and credentials were complete and there were no problems, Lu Miao placed the information bag on the counter when it was their turn, and openly explained his purpose:
"Hello, we are from Jingbei Garment Factory. We are here to apply for export approval."
Wang Yuehua stood beside Lu Miao, leaning forward cautiously, always paying attention to the reaction of the comrades at the counter.
But unfortunately, apart from their words, the attitude of the people inside had not changed much from when she came here before.
The busy female employee lifted her sleeve to look at her watch and said lazily and nonchalantly:
"Unfortunately, comrade, it's already lunchtime and we have to get off work. The afternoon shift starts at 2:00. You can wait if you can. If you can't, come earlier next time."
Lu Miao felt the other person's voice was familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
But when it came to getting off work, Lu Miao also lifted his sleeves to look at his watch.
Just one glance and Lu Miao frowned.
If you tell this to others, they might believe it.
But the embarrassing thing is that she is also in the system.
Lu Miao pointed at the counter and said:
"The Ministry of Foreign Trade's winter morning hours are 8:30 to 12:00, and the afternoon hours are 2:00 to 6:00. It's only 11:20 now, and there are still 40 minutes until the end of the working day. Are you telling me to stop handling business now?"
It is not time to get off work yet, but if we continue to handle business at this time, it will cause trouble and will definitely delay the end of get off work.
It seemed as if he realized how "difficult" Lu Miao was.
The woman at the counter made a "tsk" sound and looked up impatiently.
He was about to speak, but was stunned when his eyes met Lu Miao's.
Lu Miao was also stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and understood a little bit.
No wonder.
No wonder Wang Yuehua failed to complete the procedures despite running so many times.
She had guessed it right. Wang Yuehua had indeed encountered some obstruction.
Why is it power that is blocking the way, rather than snobbery?
Because they are different from the general group of snobs who divide people into different classes and treat them differently.
This guy can be snobbish sometimes, but most of the time he works based on his mood.
Thinking about these things, Lu Miao didn't express his opinion for a moment. The other party chuckled first, and Zhang Yang laughed out loud:
"Am I seeing things right, Director Lu? Have you found a new job?"
Yes.
If the person at the counter is not Min Qiaoqiao, then who else could it be?
Min Qiaoqiao stood on tiptoe, put her hands on the counter, and looked at Lu Miao in surprise.
Seeing that Lu Miao was dressed appropriately this time, compared to his shabby appearance last time, it seemed as if he had dressed up deliberately to hide his poverty before going out.
Min Qiaoqiao's eyes flashed with disdain, and she said jokingly:
"I wasn't mistaken, it really was Director Lu! Director Lu looked so different this time, I couldn't recognize him for a long time!"
Lu Miao looked at Min Qiaoqiao calmly, almost indifferently.
When Lu Miao was taking a walk near his home, he once saw Min Qiaoqiao getting off a car in front of the Ministry of Foreign Trade.
At that time, she thought that Min Qiaoqiao had started to get involved in the capital and business circles after leaving the Guoying Society, and came here to handle some business.
But I never thought that Min Qiaoqiao had switched jobs here.
Come to think of it.
If she didn't come here often for work, how could it be such a coincidence that Min Qiaoqiao would run into her on the only two times she went out for a walk during breaks?
But the last time I sold vegetables in the alleys, I had several children with me.
Facing an emotionally unstable person, Lu Miao didn't want to have a direct confrontation.
But this time it's different.
This is official business.
Lu Miao pointed at the counter firmly:
"It's normal working hours now. You can refuse to provide docking services, but in that case, call your leader."
Min Qiaoqiao couldn't help laughing, looked at another female employee beside her and said:
"Look at her, she's so bold."
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Lu Miao with disdain:
"All you keep saying is invite the leaders over, Lu Miao. I'm still calling you Director Lu. You don't really think you're still the director of the British Society, do you? Are you addicted to being an official?"
There was an incident of flattery of the powerful and bullying of the weak at the counters of the Ministry of Foreign Trade.
It was a big fuss at the time, and several leaders from higher up were dispatched to the house to apologize to the man.
Afterwards, most of the low-level employees in the unit were taken away for compulsory training.
Min Qiaoqiao came later, and since she has a backer, she might not take it to heart if others reminded her.
But it's different for others.
After finally getting a stable job, who wouldn’t worry about being inexplicably implicated and blamed?
Another female employee at the counter pulled Min Qiaoqiao and gently reminded her not to do that:
"Comrade Min, why don't you go and rest first? I'll take care of this..."
From their timid and cautious appearance, it is not difficult to see who is stronger and who is weaker between the two of them, and how they get along in daily life.
It’s a pity that Min Qiaoqiao is arrogant and strong and doesn’t buy it.
"Hmph." Pulling her hand back, Min Qiaoqiao's eyes swirled around Lu Miao, and she smiled meaningfully.
"What are you afraid of? I'm an old acquaintance of her! Director Lu, the business is definitely not going to be handled right now. Do you want to go home first? Or should I invite you to sit down and have a cup of tea? Just wait and see?"
The atmosphere was tense, Wang Yuehua was in a dilemma, and she said to Lu Miao:
"Director Lu, how about we just sit down and wait?"
Wang Yuehua felt that since she was not sent back directly this time like before, it meant there was a chance.
But Min Qiaoqiao didn't really mean to let them wait?
He was just abusing his power and deliberately making fun of them.
Even if you really wait, there will be no follow-up.
Lu Miao frowned and looked serious.
Seeing that Min Qiaoqiao refused to listen to advice, another female employee was really afraid that something might happen, so she took advantage of the other colleagues gradually gathering around her in the hall and quietly went to get help.
Director Feng, who was sitting in the office, was shocked when he heard the news.
He quickly put down the newspaper he was reading and rushed to the reception counter in the lobby.
When Director Feng squeezed through the crowd and saw that beautiful yet cold face, the hairs on his back stood up.
What's the matter?
Nothing has happened for hundreds of years, but when something happens it falls on the face of this giant Buddha?
Director Feng glared at Min Qiaoqiao, then stepped forward and said with a smile:
"Minister Lu, why are you here? If you have anything to say, just give me a call..."
Lu Miao's eyes were sharp as he glanced sideways.
Director Feng was complaining in his heart, but he didn't dare show it.
Director Feng waved to the crowd and made a "please" gesture to Lu Miao:
"Please come this way. Let's find a place to sit first. We can talk about anything after we sit down!"
