Chapter 822: Call from the British Society
She grows fruit trees in her hometown, so she took the time to visit several bookstores and bought some related agricultural books.
I don’t know if it will be useful, I’ll just send it back first, just in case?
After finishing school work, Lu Miao took her children and Lu Yuanzheng to attend several happy events and dinners with relatives and friends.
After that, I became free again.
Lu Miao carried more than 30 kilograms of coal to the factory yard in batches.
When the weather is cold, I usually light a stove in a corner of the room, turn on the smallest damper, and put a pot of water on it. Not only can I have hot water to drink while working, but it also keeps the room warmer.
When the door is closed, there is only one light bulb in the room and the light is a little dim.
The child’s father was too busy to come over, so Lu Miao was thinking of asking Chen Xiangdong to take some time off to come over and take care of it.
Wiring up a few more bulbs.
During this period, she went to the factory yard to discuss the new hair ties with Mei Zi and others.
Having made so many hair ties, Meizi also had some ideas and gave some suggestions on the spot:
"Sister-in-law, the New Year is coming soon. I think these red hair ties and hair bands are good."
"But we gave feedback to Brother Dong about the colorful and brightly colored ones, the white and pure black ones, and the ones that are not as popular as the others."
"A lot of them are sitting on our hands and can't be sold. Do we still need to make large quantities of this color?"
"Yes."
Lu Miao nodded firmly, thought for a while and said:
"When you come back to Xiangdong, tell him that it's hard to sell over there. As long as it's not damaged, he can exchange it for another item of equal value if you bring it back."
“…Yeah, okay.”
Mei Zi made reasonable suggestions, but it was Lu Miao who finally made the decision.
Lu Miao decided to do it, and Mei Zi didn't say anything more.
After nodding in response, Mei Zi took the several color-matched samples that Lu Miao brought and looked at them over and over again.
If you don’t understand something, ask Lu Miao. Once you have figured it out, go outside to negotiate with the older sisters.
Lu Miao walked around the office with a notebook in his hand, rummaging through a few storage baskets from time to time.
She carefully wrote down every stroke and wrote down all the missing materials.
I have written down some of the things that I thought of but don’t have at hand at the moment, thinking of contacting Matou when I get back.
If I can find it in Guangzhou, I will buy it and send it to her.
Calculating the time, I can definitely receive a batch of goods before the New Year...
While I was busy here, there was a knock on the door.
Mei Zi went out to open the door and quickly brought Shi An in.
Shi An's nose was red from the cold, and he took Lu Miao's hand as soon as he entered the house:
"Auntie, there's a call from home, asking you to go back and answer the phone."
"Um?"
Lu Miao closed the cap on the pen and put it and the notebook in his coat pocket.
She tightened the collar of Shi An's cotton jacket, asked Mei Zi to watch over her, and then took Shi An's hand and walked back.
"Who called? Did they say anything?"
"I asked, but grandma couldn't tell me who it was, but she did say they were asking you to go to work."
"Um."
Lu Miao rubbed Shi An's head.
If you can’t say the person’s name, then you don’t know them.
Speaking of work... Kokueisha?
Lu Miao thought it was unlikely, but he still quickened his pace and hurried home holding Shi An's hand.
After asking a few questions at home, Tang Mei told her that they asked her to call back.
She did as she was told, and when the call was connected, it turned out to be from the British News Agency.
After understanding the situation over there, Lu Miao hung up the phone, went back to the house without saying anything, got his handbag and scarf, and prepared to go out:
"Aunt, I'm going out for a while."
"What's the rush? Lunch will be ready soon. Can you eat before you go out?"
"No, there's a cafeteria over there. If I'm hungry, I'll eat there."
The weather is cold and it will take a while to wait for the bus.
Lu Miao was afraid that he would be delayed for too long, so he patted Shi An's head and asked him to help grandma look after his younger brothers and sisters, then he walked out without stopping.
Tang Mei couldn't persuade her. When she saw her leave the yard, she seemed to remember something and hurried back to the kitchen to check.
Seeing this, Tang Mei stamped her feet anxiously:
"You said you'd eat over there! How are you supposed to eat when you don't even have your lunchbox?"
Tang Mei hurriedly rinsed out the lunch box, put it in her arms and went to chase Lu Miao.
Unfortunately, it was cold and the buses were slow to leave, so it usually took a while to wait for the bus.
This time, Lu Miao caught the oncoming bus as soon as he went out. He ran for a while and got on the bus directly.
How could Tang Mei catch up with her?
After looking around and not seeing Lu Miao, Tang Mei went home and called the electromechanical factory.
I originally wanted to ask Fu Jingyou if he was free to send the child to his mother or something.
No one answered the phone.
Tang Mei put down the phone and sighed, then started to complain about Lu Miao's forgetfulness at home, saying he had a "pig brain and a dog memory".
Back at the Kuo Ying She Society, Lu Miao walked to the door, taking off his scarf as he walked in.
As soon as she entered the hall, a young female comrade came to greet her and walked with her while saying:
"The HR director said that an office for you hasn't been arranged yet. So, like before, you should ask Director Tan to use one first."
"OK."
Lu Miao nodded and walked as fast as the wind.
The young lesbian trotted after her:
"My name is Yu Hong. I'm your assistant. If you have any chores, you can leave them to me."
"Okay, I'll trouble you later."
“…It’s not a big deal.”
When he came, he only heard the general situation. Lu Miao was not very clear about the specific details, so he did not put his mind on making such a relationship.
Lu Miao nodded without saying anything else, and his attitude might have seemed a little cold.
But he didn't bother to explain anything.
Just as she reached the third floor, she knocked on Teacher Tan’s office door, and after receiving a response, she pushed the door open and went in.
Yu Hong understood and stopped outside the door in time.
After looking around outside the door, Yu Hong followed the example of other assistant comrades and did some chores nearby to keep herself busy.
Always be ready to obey the orders of the director in the office.
"Coming?"
"Um."
In the office, Teacher Tan looked up at Lu Miao, then lowered his head, wrote a few words quickly, and then looked up again.
"You've only been on vacation for a few days. It's really inappropriate to call you over at this time."
"It's okay, I just hope I can help."
As Lu Miao spoke, he had already put down his handbag, taken off his black woolen coat and draped it behind the back of the chair.
The entire building of Guoyingshe has unified heating, and the building sealing conditions are much better than those of ordinary tube buildings.
She felt a little hot as soon as she came in.
"I know your abilities. Once you come, it won't be just a small favor."
Teacher Tan made a few jokes.
When Lu Miao sat down at the desk, she had already stood up and brought in a thick stack of wax-sealed brown paper file bags:
"The entire third floor is busy with this."
"What are these?"
"Some of the technical documents were obtained through exchanges with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and some were obtained through agreements signed between the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation and its departments and bureaus."
Teacher Tan explained:
"Some are sent here directly, and some are sent here because they are too busy. The general translation department team can't touch these things, so they can only come here after signing confidentiality documents."
