Chapter 53

Deputy Team Leader Da Shuang, who was specifically sent to cooperate with Shen Yun's work, had eyes that flickered.

He was from the Security Section, and two people in his family worked in the Logistics Department of the military factory.

He actually didn't want to be the deputy team leader of this repatriation team.

He hadn't been to the countryside, but among the people he knew, there were those who had.

Just ask, which educated youth would be willing to go back?

Of course, he didn't dare to say or ask this.

But this was clearly an offensive thing to do.

So, he immediately agreed neatly. Anyway, there were many officials in the Shen family, and it was said that there were relatives of hers in the provincial courtyard.

If something happened, she would bear it.

And since the New Year, although there had been no major events in the military courtyard, there had been more and more petty theft and fighting.

Some educated youth who couldn't be settled in the city should indeed return to the places where they were sent to join production teams.

Consequently, the group of people marched to the neighborhood office in a grand manner.

Seeing these people, Sister Qiao was stunned for a moment. When she found out what it was about, she looked at Shen Yun with strange eyes.

Then she pointed to the direction of the conference room: "Go ahead, they are having a meeting."

Just as Old Hu was speaking passionately, a bunch of people entered the conference room.

Everyone was startled by these people wearing red armbands.

Shen Yun locked onto Lu Qiao at first sight.

Lu Qiao just glanced at her indifferently and then shifted her gaze away without caring.

516 was a key military enterprise of the Long Kingdom, directly under the leadership of the higher-ups.

Even the local government couldn't interfere with the management of the military factory.

But with this posture today, it made people feel a bit heart-pounding.

Old Hu didn't move, waiting for the leader to speak.

Lu Qiao even had a smile on the corners of her mouth, sitting quietly in the chair, her beautiful eyebrows and eyes set off by a ray of sunlight like a poem or a painting.

Shen Yun felt this scene was very dazzling.

She and Lu Qiao were elementary school classmates and left school together in the first year of junior high.

A few years later, she was recommended to study at a secondary specialized school in the province, majoring in finance and accounting. After graduation, she entered the First Labor and Personnel Section of the factory.

516 had a high level, and above the First Labor and Personnel Section was the Labor and Personnel Department, which was a division-level unit.

Even so, Shen Yun's job was the best among her peers.

In principle, she and Liang Aishu lived upstairs and downstairs and could be considered childhood sweethearts, but the Liang family and the Lu family had a marriage contract, which was set by the late Old Master Liang.

The old master had taken a fancy to the Lu family's background and family style.

But as they grew older, Liang Aishu, who was also recommended to university, began to be annoyed by Lu Qiao, who was good for nothing.

Shen Yun liked Liang Aishu, and Liang Aishu also liked her.

With Lu Qiao, who was good for nothing, in the middle, it always made Shen Yun feel like a fishbone in her throat.

She had good family conditions since she was a child, and her family pampered and loved her; basically, everything she wanted, she could get.

There was only one Liang Aishu, just like Old Lady Lu said, "loving but not getting."

Now, she had gotten her wish.

But like Liang Aishu, there was no joy or happiness. The reason for everything was that Lu Qiao did things too absolutely and didn't leave any face for her and Brother Aishu.

Lu Qiao was too vicious, vicious to the point of being outrageous.

If she had cared even a little about the childhood friendship and broken off the engagement quietly, it wouldn't be the current situation.

Shen Yun stared coldly at Lu Qiao and then maliciously sized up Lu Qiaoling, who was glaring at her. Her face changed to a smile, and she came to Director Hu, introduced herself, and then took out the document issued by the First Labor and Personnel Section and handed it to Director Hu.

The neighborhood office was a section-level unit, the same level as the First Labor and Personnel Section where Shen Yun was.

She wasn't overly respectful, but she did it decently. After saying the words she had said to Old Lady Lu to Director Hu, she said softly: "Director Hu, Lu Qiaoling belongs to the educated youth who have returned to the countryside and are staying without cause. We hope Lu Qiaoling can cooperate with our work; otherwise, the repatriation team will have to use tough measures. If it makes a scene, it won't look good for anyone."

These words were meant for Lu Qiao and Lu Qiaoling to hear.

But Hu Ze almost jumped up.

Then he remembered that he had returned according to regulations. Except for the grain relationship not being returned, everything else was normal procedure.

He looked at Lu Qiaoling with worry in his eyes.

This girl seemed to have returned by faking illness.

Lu Qiaoling had been warned in advance, but hearing this, she couldn't help but feel guilty and angry.

She glared at Shen Yun with eyes that wished they could eat her.

Shen Yun's mouth curled triumphantly. That's right, she looked at Lu Qiao, her eyes provocative, just to see if Lu Qiao would hand Lu Qiaoling over to her righteously, or if she would shamelessly refuse to let Lu Qiaoling go with her.

No matter which one, it was what she wanted to see.

Director Hu frowned, glanced cryptically at Shen Yun, and then at Lu Qiao.

Was this two girls fighting, and the educated youth suffering?

He said: "First of all, I express my support and gratitude for this decision of the First Labor and Personnel Section. The number of unemployed youth and staying educated youth is indeed increasing, which has brought certain difficulties to the work of the neighborhood office. However..."

"However" was a very interesting noun. Generally, when it appeared, it meant there would be a reversal.

Director Hu glanced at the so-called repatriation team that was eyeing them covetously: "The Xiang Yang Neighborhood Office has established a voluntary convenience service station. It is a coincidence that Comrade Lu Qiaoling is a volunteer of the service station, so she cannot leave with you at the moment."

Shen Yun suddenly widened her eyes, looking at Director Hu in disbelief, and then raised her voice: "How could you establish this? Even our First Labor and Personnel Section doesn't know about it."

Lu Qiao stood up and said to Director Hu: "Director Hu, we are at the same level as the First Labor and Personnel Section. Even if it is reported, it should be reported to the factory's Labor and Personnel Department. You drink some water and rest for a while; I will talk to her about this."

Director Hu didn't want to bother with Shen Yun in the first place. Although equality is emphasized now, a small staff member using public office for private revenge is not worthy of questioning him.

Consequently, Director Hu picked up the enamel mug that had accompanied him for decades and drank water slowly.

Lu Qiao said: "First of all, let me declare that the service station established by our neighborhood office has no salary, no establishment, and no benefits. It is a spontaneous activity group supervised by the neighborhood office. The purpose is to serve the people. There is no limit to the number of people, as long as you have a heart to shine and heat for the military factory."

Director Hu was a bit puzzled. Yesterday she said to control the number of people, but today there was no limit?

What medicine was this girl selling in her gourd?

Shen Yun stared at Lu Qiao and gritted her teeth: "You mean as long as they sign up, even the staying educated youth can stay justifiably?"

Lu Qiao walked slowly to Shen Yun, shook her head, and corrected her seriously: "Comrade Shen, you are wrong to say that. How can it be called 'staying justifiably'? They are joining selflessly and sacrificing themselves for others, without salary, without benefits, and without establishment. What harsh conditions! Take a good look, we have only recruited five people, and they were mobilized by the cadres of our neighborhood office who carried forward the style."

Shen Yun knew Lu Qiao had changed and had been on guard in her heart for a long time: "That is your secret operation. If it were made public, I'm afraid the conference room wouldn't be able to hold the people who signed up."
