Chapter 54

Lu Qiao clapped her hands, her face full of smiles: "You really hit the nail on the head."

Shen Yun was stunned for a moment, staring at Lu Qiao without knowing why. For some reason, facing Lu Qiao, who was smiling and talking like this, was even more disgusting than facing Lu Qiao, who was scolding her.

Shen Yun: "What... what do you mean?"

Lu Qiao: "We were originally prepared to start absorbing volunteers after the establishment. It just so happens that you came, and you are the team leader of the repatriation team and the organizer of this activity. You must have a list of staying educated youth in your hands. Then it will trouble Comrade Shen to notify them to return to the countryside, and by the way, inform them of the purpose of our voluntary convenience service station. Isn't building the countryside and building the hometown both building the motherland? This doesn't conflict. However, our requirements are strict. After joining, you must strictly abide by the rules and regulations of the service station. Once violated, you will be expelled from the service station. I also implore Comrade Shen and the comrades of the team to help promote it. We will be very grateful to you."

Shen Yun:...

Are you dreaming? You still want me to help you promote it?

Keep dreaming!

But she couldn't say the words of refusal.

Shen Yun, who had been holding the winning ticket, finally turned pale.

Lu Qiao frowned slightly: "Why don't you speak?"

Old Hu looked at Lu Qiao thoughtfully; there should be a follow-up move.

He continued to drink water slowly.

Ren Xiaocui held back her laughter. How could she speak? If she agreed, she would be aggrieved; if she didn't agree, she wouldn't be supporting the work of the service station.

Now, everyone is encouraged to learn from Lei Feng and do good deeds.

Shen Yun glared at Lu Qiao, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Deputy Team Leader Da Shuang immediately asked: "Then can you tell us what your voluntary service station is going to do?"

Shen Yun finally reacted and said in a sharp voice: "Yes, you speak so beautifully, and it's all 'voluntary, voluntary.' What can you actually do? Don't let it be that some people are hanging a sheep's head and selling dog meat for their own selfish interests."

Lu Qiao was just waiting for them to ask.

If they didn't ask, she wouldn't know how to promote her plan.

Lu Qiao coughed lightly and said in a clear voice: "Although the service station was just established today, we have already formulated a one-month action plan in the past few days. Originally, the first thing was to go to the staying educated youth and unemployed youth to promote the service station. It just so happens that you came, and it just so happens that our work content has overlapped, so it will trouble the comrades of the repatriation team to help notify them. Our director will call your leaders to praise you."

Before Shen Yun could speak, Lu Qiao continued: "There is a part of the military factory courtyard that has suffered from rainstorm disasters. Our neighborhood office has an investigation list. The first thing is that our service station will use a few days to help difficult households voluntarily repair roofs and courtyards. The second thing is that because of the rainstorm, many of our courtyard's drainage ditches have appeared to be blocked, but because the service station has few hands, we can only focus on cleaning up the three areas near the neighborhood office. The third thing is that the Xiang Yang Night School has collapsed due to the rainstorm. Because there are residents nearby and many children, in order to eliminate safety hazards, the service station plans to use the following time to repair it."

After Lu Qiao finished speaking, except for Director Hu, Ren Xiaocui, and a few main cadres, everyone else was shocked and stunned.

Including the five newly appointed volunteers.

But they didn't show expressions of fear, but were all excited. Great, this month, they actually had so many things to do.

Old Hu suddenly straightened his back and slowly covered the tea mug with the lid.

At this moment, the significance represented by the service station suddenly became lofty.

That trace of guilt for calling his second son back was gone at this moment.

The people of the repatriation team looked at each other. So much work? And nothing at all? They were really doing good deeds.

What could they say?

Shen Yun stared at Lu Qiao in a daze. She really wanted to expose this as Lu Qiao's conspiracy. Going to such great lengths, wasn't it just to use public office for private gain to keep Lu Qiaoling?

But did she have evidence?

Lu Qiao kept talking about dedication, service, and doing good deeds. What she just said were all real difficulties. Did she still want to forcibly take Lu Qiaoling away?

By what right did she not let Lu Qiaoling shine, heat, and contribute voluntarily?

And no one from the brigade where Lu Qiaoling was located called the military factory, nor did anyone urge her to return to the countryside to work.

Not only could she not take Lu Qiaoling away, but she also had to help Lu Qiao promote it for free.

Then what was the point of her going to such great lengths to get this repatriation team?

Shen Yun was so angry that her complexion turned blue and purple; she really wanted to vomit a mouthful of blood for Lu Qiao to see.

Old Hu put down his large tea mug neither lightly nor heavily and said with a smile: "We still have to continue the meeting. It will trouble the comrades of the repatriation team. Thank you."

He looked at Lu Qiao with appreciation. The things Lu Qiao just said were all actual difficulties, but there weren't enough hands.

It wasn't that easy to organize a "Learn from Lei Feng" activity. Everyone was busy, leaving early and returning late; who had time to work? And for those who were idle, who would be willing to work for you for nothing without benefits?

Da Shuang sighed silently and glanced cryptically at Shen Yun. Compared to Lu Qiao, Shen Yun seemed petty.

Shouldn't she learn from Lu Qiao, pretend not to have those grudges, and maintain superficial enthusiasm to respond to Lu Qiao?

He was a bit confused. Lu Qiao was clearly very excellent; why did everyone say she was as stupid as a pig?

Shen Yun's complexion was stiff. Even if her brain was in a mess, she knew that Director Hu was driving people away.

She could only say dryly: "You continue the meeting; we won't disturb you."

After finishing, she turned and left the neighborhood office's conference room with unsteady steps.

Lu Qiaoling breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her second sister with worshipful eyes.

She knew that her second sister went to such great lengths actually for her.

She must work hard and not drag her second sister down.

And at this time, in the factory director's office, Old Lu came to find Factory Director Hao.

Factory Director Hao was very enthusiastic toward him, but he didn't sit down or drink water, but said to Factory Director Hao: "Factory Director Hao, I have never made any requests to the factory, right?"

Factory Director Hao immediately nodded: "Master Lu, you are the most excellent old worker in our factory. For so many years, you have never reached out to us for any benefits, nor have you made any requests."

Old Lu didn't know if Factory Director Hao knew about that incident, but he still gave a brief and concise account of it.

"I only have one request today, which is that I hope the factory leaders will ferret out the rumor-monger."

Factory Director Hao's complexion didn't look good, but it wasn't toward Old Lu.

It was toward Deputy Factory Director Lin.

Representative Qin and Master Lu had a very good relationship. How could Old Lady Lu, a martyr's family member who was so sensible, be unreasonable and ask Representative Qin to take responsibility for Lu Qiao's innocence?

He also knew that Representative Qin went to the Lu family that day, which was using action to prove it was baseless.

And one after another, they ran to do work for Old Lady Lu?

In that era, Old Lady Lu had been a women's team leader and led villagers to rescue many wounded soldiers.

Old Lu continued: "They say there is no smoke without fire. Deputy Factory Director Lin couldn't have imagined it out of thin air, right?"

Factory Director Hao immediately guaranteed: "Master Lu, rest assured, I will definitely ferret this person out."
