Chapter 543
In mid-May, Lu Lu Qiaoge learned from Little Little Cangcang that the North Capital had already established an expert group, mainly targeting the abnormal animal phenomena appearing near Tangcheng.
After Lu Lu Qiaoge found out, she felt relieved.
And it was also at this time that Lu Lu Qiaoge was officially promoted.
Because 516 had been upgraded by one level and was now directly under the leadership of the higher-ups, the Xiang Yang Neighborhood Office was a deputy-division-level unit. Lu Lu Qiaoge was promoted to deputy-section-level and simultaneously joined the Workers and Peasants Party.
This also meant that Lu Lu Qiaoge could move up step by step.
The Lu family was very happy; Meng Xia specially made the wild vegetable dumplings that Lu Lu Qiaoge loved to eat.
For eighteen generations of the Lu family ancestors, this was the only section-level cadre to emerge; shouldn't they celebrate?
And Deputy Director Zhou of the city's Foreign Trade Bureau asked Lu Lu Qiaoge to hold the title of consultant at his unit.
It was mainly aimed at foreign trade business, which in fact was all being handled by Lu Lu Qiaoge anyway.
Lu Lu Qiaoge had no objections.
With the title of consultant, it was more convenient for her to contact Zhen Xi and Chu He.
By the way, there was also Luo Luo Ziwen now.
He had actually also established a foreign trade company, specializing in operating products from the opposite side. Since instant noodles were now in short supply, Zhen Xi and Chu He had completely occupied the markets in Hong Kong and Nanyang, so Luo Luo Ziwen decided to divert to Country R.
At this time, Luo Luo Ziwen hadn't thought that one of the people preparing to take down the Xiang Yang brand instant noodles was a wealthy businessman from Country R.
And he was even the second-ranked tycoon. However, Luo Luo Ziwen didn't know these things, but he used his previous connections to get in touch with the richest man. The richest man had a personal feud with the second-ranked tycoon, and on top of that, Lu Lu Qiaoge had contacted this wealthy businessman through the General Administration of Foreign Trade.
The largest enterprise under this wealthy businessman's name was the Dongfa Firm. This person's name was Chao Chao Haiguang, fifty years old this year. Don't look at the fact that it's three characters; he was a pure Country R person.
And this person could barely be considered someone who held a friendly attitude toward us.
At the time, the other party was very vague. Lu Lu Qiaoge felt that this person's state was in the waiting stage—the kind that wanted to enter the market but felt the venue was too small and too shabby to be worth the effort.
In the end, he didn't look up to the General Administration of Foreign Trade and the Xiang Yang Food Factory.
But his attitude toward Hong Kong businessmen was different.
Also, to annoy the second-ranked tycoon, he not only agreed to distribute Xiang Yang brand instant noodles but also placed a large order for handicrafts.
The cadres at the General Administration of Foreign Trade were naturally overjoyed.
One had to know that this person was exceptionally wealthy.
It was no exaggeration to say he made a fortune every day, and both sides were going to sign a contract. Once the contract was signed, we wouldn't be afraid of the other party going back on their word.
Luo Luo Ziwen called Lu Lu Qiaoge: "I'm in Country R. The contract has already been signed, and we can contact each other at any time regarding subsequent situations..." He hesitated for a moment, and Luo Luo Ziwen asked Lu Lu Qiaoge: "How are Chu Sulan and Xiaojun?"
Everything he did was for Chu Chu Sulan and his son; it was just like bartering, he didn't intend to make money, and he was even prepared to lose money.
But after the contract was signed, he discovered that, not to mention instant noodles, he was even making money on the handicrafts.
Now the disadvantage of the opposite side was that they hadn't opened up. If they had opened up, people would contact them directly, and there would be no role for him.
Of course, his concern for Chu Chu Sulan and Xiaojun was also genuine.
Lu Lu Qiaoge told the truth: "... Not many people know about the relationship between Xiaojun and you yet, but for the sake of safety, Chu Chu Sulan was transferred to the Xiang Yang Food Factory last week, and Xiaojun has also transferred schools. We also assigned them a one-bedroom apartment. As for the conditions, they certainly can't compare to your luxury mansion in Hong Kong, but in terms of safety, I dare say it is definitely very safe. You can rest assured about this point."
Luo Luo Ziwen thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you so much, it's great that they were transferred to your unit. I'm really relieved, very relieved!"
Not to mention now, even in the future, these military-industrial enterprises wouldn't be comparable to ordinary enterprises.
What's more, he also grew up on this land, and naturally held reverence and trust for soldiers and military industry.
Lu Lu Qiaoge said with a smile: "Don't be polite, these are also things we should do."
Luo Luo Ziwen asked again: "Did Chu Chu Sulan say anything about her coming to Hong Kong? What about Xiaojun?"
Lu Lu Qiaoge said bluntly: "We also received some inside information. Your current wife, Zhen Zhen Meili, originally wanted to play tricks here, but we have strict management here and contact isn't convenient. Zhen Zhen Meili and another person named Ailin had to abandon the plan here. But come to think of it, as long as the mother and son land, it should be very dangerous. Of course, I respect the wishes of Comrade Chu Chu Sulan and little Luo Aijun. If they agree, we will find a way to safely send them to the designated place. If they don't agree, we won't force them to be persuaded. In short, everything is based on their wishes."
Luo Luo Ziwen on the other end couldn't help but grip the telephone receiver tightly.
He knew it would be like this.
Although he was prepared, one still had to worry about the unexpected.
A single slip can cause great trouble; no preparation is foolproof and perfect.
He said: "I know, thank you, Factory Manager Little Lu, for telling me this news. I know how to handle it."
Lu Lu Qiaoge actually really wanted to ask, do you really know how to handle it?
However, Lu Lu Qiaoge didn't meddle and ask about this.
Lu Lu Qiaoge thought for a moment, changed her wording, and reminded him tactfully: "Regardless of whether Luo Aijun develops here or in Hong Kong, I hope the child can walk on a bright and open road."
Luo Luo Ziwen on the other end felt a jolt in his heart. Yes, Xiaojun needs to develop; he cannot experience those shady things like he did...
Luo Luo Ziwen immediately promised: "I will consider these things."
That would be fine.
There was no need to worry about Chu Chu Sulan's safety; there was no need to give special instructions, Little Little Cangcang and the others would all look after them.
Not to mention that this was a military-industrial family compound, with patrolling guards every night.
When Lu Lu Qiaoge came out, it was just time for elementary school to let out. Luo Aijun had transferred to the same school as Little Si.
Both of these children belonged to those who had been delayed by not attending school normally.
So, they happened to be in the same class.
Luo Aijun saw Lu Lu Qiaoge and greeted her even faster than Lu Xiaosi: "Sister Lu, Sister Lu."
Lu Xiaosi also shouted afterward: "Second Sister, Second Sister, Second Sister!"
Lu Lu Qiaoge got off her bicycle and looked at the two young boys with a smile. After a year of careful recuperation, Lu Xiaosi was like an ordinary teenager; he had grown taller, and his complexion was rosy. As for Luo Aijun, his mother's illness was cured, and he no longer had to take care of the family, and his mother had a job to support him. Now, he had even entered the military-industrial compound.
Sometimes standing at the gate, watching the people coming and going outside, he felt a sense of pride.
As for his father in Hong Kong?
Luo Aijun matured early and knew that his father had a new wife, so he was no longer his father alone.
In the future, he might be the father of many people.
But he only had one mother.
Therefore, Luo Aijun never mentioned his so-called father in front of Chu Chu Sulan. He listened to his mother; as long as his mother was happy, anything was fine.
And the hardest days had passed; now life was happy and there was no need to worry or be afraid. Luo Aijun felt that one should be content.
