Chapter 616: Criticism

Because 516 is a military factory, the work style of the cadres here is straightforward and decisive, and they generally don't drag things out.

Lu Qiao quickly wrote the application, and Old Hu rode his bicycle towards the factory.

Originally, Lu Qiao wanted to send Old Hu to the factory director's office, but Old Hu waved his hand and said to her, "You go about your business; I'll be there soon by bicycle."

Lu Qiao didn't force it either. She drove the jeep to the Foreign Trade Department.

She held a meeting with other members. During the meeting, Old Zhou talked to everyone about the imitation cultural relics.

The first batch of imitation cultural relics was successfully fired and had already been shipped to Guangzhou.

After they were received there, if there were no problems, the payment would be transferred to the relevant departments.

Lu Qiao also had to go to the down jacket factory.

Although she didn't participate in the management and daily operations of the down jacket factory, Old Liu was a person with a flexible mind. Although he was much older than Lu Qiao, he had never acted like an elder in front of Lu Qiao.

He felt that in front of Lu Qiao, he was like a student, and there were too many things to learn.

Therefore, this old and young pair got along quite well.

Old Liu felt that he was a student of Lu Qiao, but in ordinary times, he treated Lu Qiao as a junior. In his office drawer, there were all kinds of candies, and every time she came, he would give Lu Qiao candy to eat.

So Lu Qiao also had a very good impression of Old Liu.

She also paid extra attention to the down jacket factory.

It just so happened that today was Monday. Since she had driven to the Foreign Trade Department, she just happened to go to the down jacket factory.

After Lu Qiao left, Little Gu went to find Director Zhou.

Director Zhou frowned when he saw Little Gu coming. The higher-ups sent this person down to learn things, and he was also sincerely wanting her to learn things and go back.

But this Little Gu's theoretical knowledge was quite rich.

But she really couldn't operate in practice.

So Old Zhou didn't let her be responsible for this batch of imitation cultural relics.

He just let her do some trivial things within her ability.

Little Gu looked at Director Zhou and said directly, "Director Zhou, I know what you mean. You don't trust me. Of course, I don't have any experience, and I'm not like Lu Qiao, who has actually come into contact with so many foreign trade exchanges, and even contacts with Hong Kong businessmen frequently. But I came here to learn. You can't let me go back without learning anything."

Old Zhou was stunned for a moment, not expecting this Little Gu to have emotions.

Old Zhou looked up at Little Gu, and after a few breaths, he said in a gentle voice, "Then tell me, what do you want to learn?"

"No matter what, you are Lu Qiao's leader, right? If you tell her to take me for a few days, can she disagree? Of course, she might disagree. After all, Lu Qiao likes to be alone. She seems to be the same in the study class. If Lu Qiao doesn't like to take me, then that's it."

Although Old Zhou was a male comrade, his heart was also very delicate.

He carefully savored it and felt that Little Gu had an opinion about Lu Qiao.

But he didn't understand.

For no reason, why do you have an opinion about Lu Qiao?

Speaking of which, Lu Qiao is not your teacher, nor is she your superior leader.

She has no obligation to teach or guide your work.

Of course, that's not how you can say it.

"Little Gu, you have emotions. Do you not understand your current situation?"

"But why do you single out Lu Qiao? Speaking of which, you are both seconded and interns; there is no distinction between primary and secondary."

"You also know that Lu Qiao holds several positions. She is really busy. She has meetings at the food factory early in the morning and then meetings at the Foreign Trade Department, following the progress of that batch of goods."

"Now she has gone to the down jacket factory."

"This is not being alone."

"It is because the burden on her shoulders is very heavy. Little Gu, you must understand this point."

"Some words cannot be said casually; you have to use your brain."

Little Gu's face turned red immediately.

But she didn't expect that Director Zhou, who was usually smiling and gentle, would criticize her so mercilessly.

Tears immediately filled her eyes.

Old Zhou suddenly felt that his head was big.

Fortunately, the office door was open, and people coming and going could see it. He was sitting behind the desk, a distance away from Little Gu.

Old Zhou frowned and continued, "You are already an adult now and have entered society. No matter where your work unit is in the future, you have to face many complex situations."

"No one is perfect; it's impossible for everything you do and every word you say to be right."

"No matter if it's leaders or colleagues who criticize you, you must accept it with an open mind."

"What is this crying and sniffling about? Is it because you think I'm wrong? Are you very aggrieved?"

Little Gu hurriedly wiped away her tears and said with a choked voice, "Director Zhou, you misunderstood me. I have no opinion about Lu Qiao. I just want to learn things from her. Why does everyone not let me follow her? I just don't understand, so I also feel very aggrieved."

Old Zhou sighed helplessly.

"I just said that Lu Qiao is very busy and holds several positions. She still serves as a mediator at the street office, and there are the food factory and the down jacket factory. Many jobs need her to arrange."

"Then you tell me, how can she take you in these units?"

"And she comes to the Foreign Trade Department, no matter what work she does, isn't it all laid out in the open? Has she ever avoided you?"

"Little Gu, the old saying goes that the master leads you to the door, and the practice depends on the individual. This learning is not a rigid arrangement. Many times, the flexibility of our work is also particularly strong."

"For example, these days everyone is busy with the export of imitation cultural relics. You have also learned things by following along, so you have to learn to draw inferences about other cases."

"Imitation cultural relics are now a path, so what about others?"

"This really no one teaches you, because many times even we don't know what to do to earn foreign exchange for the country?"

"We are also exploring while learning."

Little Gu's face turned red, and she lowered her head without saying a word.

However, she regretted it very much in her heart. She shouldn't have been impulsive and come to complain to Old Zhou.

It seems that after she leaves the office, Old Zhou will call Beijing to reflect on her performance here.

Then Beijing will let her go back early, right?

Director Zhou criticized Little Gu, and then softened his tone and said to her, "You go back to work first. Maybe some of my words are heavy, but I think if you can take them to heart, it will be good for you."

Little Gu left Old Zhou's office.

Old Zhou's office was his own, and the large office was temporarily tidied up, but they were all on the same floor.

When a man in his thirties saw Little Gu coming out of Director Zhou's office with her head lowered and wiping tears, his eyes flashed, and he walked quickly to stop Little Gu.

Little Gu looked up and saw it was Deputy Section Chief Fang of the Administration Section.

He was also from Beijing and was transferred here last year. He was a classmate of her eldest sister. ===== CHAPTER 617 =====

He is also from the capital; he was transferred here last year and is a classmate of Eldest Sister.
