Chapter 286: How did you persuade?

~8 min read 1,593 words

Wu Zhi was scolded until he couldn't lift his head. He actually just wanted to make Meng Qingshan uncomfortable, but he also harbored the intention of using Che Wei to find trouble with Meng Qingshan. Whether it succeeded or not, Meng Qingshan would definitely fight with Che Wei.

At that time, he could watch the excitement.

Otherwise, this breath in his heart couldn't be vented.

Meng Qingshan, what kind of thing is he, actually occupying the position of deputy factory director and not letting go.

His uncle told him that the future of Xiang Yang Neighborhood Food Factory is limitless.

Even if instant noodles produced cannot exchange for foreign exchange, sales in the country will definitely be in short supply.

If one could become the deputy director of the food factory, it would mean a great deal of opportunity and room for advancement.

But right now, that factory belongs to the neighborhood office.

They don't let anyone in.

Looking for connections doesn't work either; the people his uncle approached couldn't get a word in.

Wu Zhi, furious, pointed at Che Wei and cursed: "Are you f***ing stupid? I was just saying that casually, and you took it seriously? If I said eating dog shit could make you immortal and live for ten thousand years, would you go eat it?"

Che Wei, humiliated and enraged by the scolding, retorted: "Wu Zhi, a person should have a conscience. If you hadn't named names, would I have taken it seriously? Knowing full well that Meng Qingshan and Cui Zhi used to be a couple, and then saying that to me, how could I not overthink it?"

"I think it's just that you wanted to be the director of the food factory, but the leadership didn't let you, so you're jealous of Meng Qingshan and are using me as a pawn!"

Wu Zhi spat: "Look at your pathetic self, only able to throw your weight around in front of Wang Wang Cuizhi. You told me yourself after you got drunk that one time about how you tormented and bullied her—I've never seen a disgusting man like you."

"Since you're bothered by the fact that she used to date someone, just f***ing divorce her and find someone else. You won't divorce her, yet you trouble the woman every day. You idiot, why are you yelling at me? You pathetic loser, if you've got the guts, go find Meng Qingshan!"

Huang Juan didn't look shocked in the slightest.

Sister Lu Qiao was the same.

Having done grassroots work at the neighborhood office for so many years, men fighting sometimes involves not just hands, but mouths too.

But Section Chief Peng hadn't seen much of this.

They were all from the heating department, usually very busy at work, and there were times when they argued and fought. But it was rarely content like the above.

Section Chief Peng only felt that his old face had been completely lost.

The final result was that Section Chief Peng gave Wu Zhi and Che Wei another thorough scolding, then suspended both of their jobs.

Considering this matter wasn't very glorious, there was no public criticism.

But the heating department gave both of them disciplinary sanctions.

At the same time, Meng Qingshan also produced proof of his whereabouts from three years ago.

At that time, he and his wife were still sent-down youth in a small mountain village three thousand miles away.

He only brought his wife and daughter back to the city at the end of May this year.

Meng Qingshan's wife was a sent-down youth from a neighboring city; since their second child was just born, she wasn't in a hurry to find work and was currently at home taking care of the children.

And during these four years, the investigation results proved that Meng Qingshan and Wang Wang Cuizhi had never met.

The leaders of several units came forward together, and the Women's Federation and the neighborhood office jointly processed the divorce for Wang Wang Cuizhi and Che Wei.

When the bright red official seal was stamped down, Che Wei remembered the bold words Lu Lu Qiaoge had spoken the day before yesterday, and with bloodshot eyes, he roared: "Lu Lu Qiaoge, didn't you guarantee to me that you would persuade us to reconcile this time? How did you persuade us? Huh, how did you persuade us? Did you succeed?"

Lu Lu Qiaoge blinked her eyes, her voice full of apology: "I'm sorry, I didn't succeed, but I promise to try harder next time."

Che Wei was full of resentment, but he didn't dare to keep blaming her.

The matter that happened the day before yesterday was resolved cleanly today.

Lu Lu Qiaoge's presence was in every single detail.

Including making phone calls to contact the village where Meng Qingshan was sent down.

The leaders of his unit warned him not to look for trouble where there was none, lest he end up losing his job too.

And for some reason, Wu Zhi also urged him to divorce quickly.

Wu Zhi said to him: "You have a good job, no burdens, and a house; you should find a young woman who hasn't dated anyone before. Otherwise, with your narrow-mindedness, you won't be able to live well with anyone."

In fact, Wu Zhi had received a subtle hint from the leadership to let Che Wei divorce quietly. If he did well, they would consider his performance and revoke his disciplinary sanction.

Because of this, Wu Zhi had to make up with Che Wei and then strongly urge him.

Added to that, Che Wei's parents were unhappy that their only son's child was a daughter, so they also encouraged their son to divorce.

Therefore, the divorce procedures were handled very quickly.

The Wang family sighed as they took their daughter back; fortunately, their daughter had her own house, otherwise how would she live?

Wang Wang Cuizhi knew that life after divorce wouldn't be easy, but she still felt happy, feeling that even the sky was bluer than before.

After getting settled, she went specifically to the neighborhood office to thank Lu Lu Qiaoge for saving her life.

Lu Lu Qiaoge was concerned about her future plans.

Mainly the issue of housing.

Upon learning she was temporarily living at her parents' house, Lu Lu Qiaoge said to her: "Work hard and perform well. The overall trend in our unit is very good; as long as you work hard, there will be rewards. When you have the ability, you can truly repay your parents..."

Then she added: "Don't be so pessimistic. If you meet someone good and decent, you can try to organize a new family."

Wang Wang Cuizhi nodded and said: "I understand."

Huang Juan, who was on the side, expressed her satisfaction and then said to Lu Qiaoge: "The comrades from the survey team are all returning to North Capital tomorrow. The higher-ups' idea is that our food factory's shortbread is quite good, and we can process a batch to be used as dry rations for the road."

That could be done.

Lu Lu Qiaoge called Meng Qingshan and told him to get ready.

Meng Qingshan on the other end agreed immediately, hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Lu Qiaoge, thank you!"

Lu Lu Qiaoge: "You working hard is the greatest thanks."

Meng Qingshan: "That's a must!"

Both of them started laughing.

The freshly baked shortbread was packed in kraft paper bags and placed in storage boxes. Shao Le drove again, taking a thousand catties of shortbread to the factory headquarters.

Factory Director Hao didn't look at the shortbread, but instead looked at the storage boxes woven from corn husks, unable to put them down.

Square, exquisite, and delicate.

Not only for holding food, but actually, they could hold anything.

Lu Lu Qiaoge glanced at them and knew what Factory Director Hao was thinking, so she said: "These are storage boxes; they can hold books or documents. Factory Director Hao, you can keep one. Anyway, these are a gift from us to the survey team, also to thank them for their contributions."

Factory Director Hao waved his hand: "No, don't gift them. Just leave two for them, and our factory headquarters will buy the rest."

As for the shortbread, it was meant to be distributed directly anyway.

Lu Lu Qiaoge looked at the storage boxes; these were newly woven by Lin Lin Junan and the others, using corn husks.

Of course, the style was provided by herself.

Actually, the style was very simple; one could learn to weave it after one glance.

Of course, this also tested one's skill.

Lu Lu Qiaoge felt it was time to contact Zhen Xi.

The delivery was due at the end of next month, and the deposit had been wired, but Zhen Xi hadn't had any news during this time.

To call Zhen Xi, she still had to go to the Foreign Trade Section to find Section Chief Zhou.

He had a dedicated line set up there.

Before Lu Lu Qiaoge could act, Qin Qin Hengzhi called Lu Lu Qiaoge, asking her to wait for him a while after work at noon; he had something to tell her.

Lu Lu Qiaoge thought it was about Red Star Lake, but she didn't expect it to be that Sun Sun Ziliang mentioned by the old turtle.

He had been transferred over and was temporarily in the mailroom of the staff hospital.

The two decided to go to the staff hospital to take a look.
