Chapter 130

This mat was woven for Huahua by Xiaosi. Although it wasn't very tight, it was very regular.

Xiaosi has been pasting paper boxes for the past few years, which has actually trained her patience quite well.

At this moment, Huahua stood on the mat, its claws opening the cloth bag to let Lu Qiaoge see what was inside.

Lu Qiaoge had to wake up whether she wanted to or not.

Mainly because the gift was too much.

It wasn't a gold bracelet, a gold necklace, or a gold ring, but a glistening, true-to-life goldfish.

It was heavy, weighing down the cat's neck so much that it hadn't been able to lift it up until now.

Lu Qiaoge couldn't turn on the light, so she could only open the curtains and carefully examine this goldfish by the moonlight outside.

The eyes were made of rubies.

It was shaped just like a goldfish, slightly smaller than her hand, with lifelike scales, as if it had been carved from a single piece of gold.

It should have had a base underneath, but it was gone now.

"Did the dogfish give this?"

【No, it was brought by the old turtle. It felt it shouldn't have lied to you, but it also felt it wasn't wrong, so it gave this to you.】

Huahua was just saying what it knew.

It could only express opinions on simple matters now, such as things related to itself.

So it didn't quite understand the old turtle's behavior; it just stared at the goldfish with glowing eyes.

Lu Qiaoge felt the old turtle really had a lot on its mind; she had only been asking casually.

As for the herbs, since they cured Xiaosi, it was impossible for her not to pay attention to such a simple treatment method.

But the old turtle knew the most about the situation at the bottom of the lake. It said it had lived for over a hundred years, but in Lu Qiaoge's view, it was much longer.

As for it not telling the truth about the herbs, Lu Qiaoge didn't care much, and at the time, she didn't even ask another question. Whatever the old turtle said was fine; originally, these things might have all belonged to it.

Otherwise, why would it be so reluctant to leave Red Star Lake?

Lu Qiaoge put away the true-to-life goldfish and asked Huahua with a smile: "Did the old turtle say anything else?"

Huahua shook its cat head: 【Let me think, ah, it said wait and see, nothing else.】

The old turtle still had treasures in its possession, but it would rather compensate her with a goldfish than give her the herbs, so it must have had its own considerations.

These creatures, they really have become spirits.

Lu Qiaoge stroked the cat's head a few times, sleepiness washing over her: "Sleep."

The next day.

Director Hu and Lu Qiaoge were reporting their work in the factory director's office.

They had waited until the factory director and the others finished their Monday morning meeting before she and Director Hu went in.

It was around ten o'clock in the morning.

Old Hu talked about the process of Zhen Xi going to the food factory, and Lu Qiaoge talked about how she, Sister Su, and the foreign trade section went to the hotel to meet Zhen Xi, and how the provincial foreign trade bureau was very pleasantly surprised afterward, not expecting that sunflower seeds could be exchanged for foreign currency. So what was there to hesitate about? Exchange them quickly.

Consequently, the foreign trade bureau sent three cars to follow, totaling five cars, including a bodyguard and accompanying personnel from the inspection team.

When Factory Director Hao heard this, good heavens, didn't this lineup scare Factory Director Gong?

Lu Qiaoge: "Mr. Zhen didn't taste the sunflower seeds to see how they were; he let his bodyguard taste them. The bodyguard said they were delicious and very fragrant, so he said, 'Then let's order 100,000 worth of goods first.'"

Factory Director Hao smiled: "Good, it went smoothly."

There was definitely no problem; there was no private contact, just the foreign trade bureau and the accompanying personnel from the inspection team. With this lineup, there was no way to have private contact.

So this order was obtained normally.

Lu Qiaoge getting a reward was only right and proper.

Him listening to the report was also a normal work procedure.

Factory Director Hao also said: "Qiao Ge, don't worry, if they dare to default on the payment, I'll go to their leaders to ask for the money."

Old Hu laughed heartily and said to Lu Qiaoge: "Why don't you thank Factory Director Hao?"

Lu Qiaoge naturally thanked the highly approachable Factory Director Hao with a smile.

Originally, Director Hu and Lu Qiaoge should have returned to the neighborhood office, but just at this moment, the phone on the factory director's desk rang.

Director Hu and Lu Qiaoge stood up together; the factory director's phone calls were definitely not to be listened to casually.

Old Hu made a gesture to Factory Director Hao and prepared to take Lu Qiaoge away.

Factory Director Hao also waved his hand and picked up the phone.

Unexpectedly, just as Lu Qiaoge closed the office door, Factory Director Hao suddenly called out to stop her: "Qiao Ge, wait a moment."

Lu Qiaoge and Old Hu exchanged a look, and she walked back into the office.

Old Hu naturally followed her in.

Factory Director Hao put down the phone, hesitated for a moment, and still said: "It was the foreign trade bureau. They said they were supposed to sign the contract today, but Zhen Xi said he lost a very important item, and it also involves the head of the song and dance troupe and An Leilei. Those people are all at the hotel. The people from the foreign trade bureau asked me if Lu Qiaoge could go over and see if there's still hope for the order."

Old Hu's eyes widened: "That's simply ridiculous. What kind of place is the Swan Hotel? Everyone from top to bottom has been vetted. How could there be a thief stealing his things, and very important things at that? I think it's just a fake show of generosity and bragging. It must be that his father didn't agree, and he's deliberately finding an excuse to break the contract. I've always said capitalists are vampires; they won't do anything that isn't profitable."

Factory Director Hao glared at him: "What are you getting so excited about? Even if the Zhen family is at its worst, they are still the richest people in Hong Kong; they wouldn't resort to such underhanded little tricks. Qiao Ge, I'll have Secretary Zhou and Deputy Director Huang go with you. After all, you were the one who bridged the connection for the order. We don't look for trouble, but we aren't afraid of it either. Find out clearly what it's about. Of course, if the other party is being unreasonable, come back immediately; don't pay any attention to him."

Factory Director Hao and Old Hu both looked at Lu Qiaoge with concern.

Lu Qiaoge said calmly: "Alright."

Factory Director Hao and Director Hu both expressed their appreciation for this attitude.

While Lu Qiaoge was waiting for Huang Juan at the neighborhood office, she called Huahua over through Little Cangcang, who was wandering nearby, and had Huahua take Mouse Da, Mouse Er, and the swallows to the Swan Hotel.

Quietly, don't let humans notice.

Lu Qiaoge and Huang Juan rode in the factory director's jeep.

When they got out of the car, they saw Sister Su standing at the entrance.

Seeing Lu Qiaoge arrive, her eyes lit up. She pulled Lu Qiaoge aside and said in a low voice: "I'll go with you. Don't worry, the people from the inspection team are all there. We're just trying to understand if there's a direct connection between the lost item and the order. The public security bureau is investigating right now."

Lu Qiaoge said: "What was lost?"

"It's a gold watch, the kind worn around the neck."

Lu Qiaoge nodded and followed Sister Su into the reception room with Huang Juan and Secretary Zhou.

Lu Qiaoge saw Zhen Xi, who was trying his best to restrain himself; he was some distance away from the crowd.

But Lu Qiaoge had good eyesight, and she saw the muscles on Zhen Xi's face twitching slightly at a glance.

His two hands were also clenched tightly.

On the other side were two beautiful women; one was older, and the other young girl Lu Qiaoge recognized, named An Leilei.

When the curtain fell, she heard Qin Hengzhi say that her family lived in the same compound as his maternal grandfather's family.

And at this moment, An Leilei's eyes were red, and the woman beside her also had a bad expression.

Su Hongmei lowered her voice: "That's Troupe Leader Yan and An Leilei. They came to invite Zhen Xi to attend the friendship dance party organized by the city tonight. Unexpectedly, after they left, Zhen Xi discovered the item was missing. Having no other choice, the public security bureau had to call the two of them back."
