Chapter 622: Waiting for You to Go Back and Cook

Lu Qiao pointed to the work procedures and rules and regulations posted on the wall: "Open your eyes and look carefully, which article and which clause on this stipulates that only I, Lu Qiao, can contact them?"

"Gu Jiayan, as long as you have needs and the leaders agree, you can call Brother Zhendong and Chairman Luo at any time."

And at this time, Little Cangcang also came back.

Simply and concisely told Lu Qiao what happened just now.

Lu Qiao only then knew that several things had happened during her absence.

It's just that why did that Deputy Section Chief Fang suddenly speak for Gu Jiayan?

It's a pity that Little Cangcang didn't find out what Deputy Section Chief Fang and Gu Jiayan said in the corridor at that time...

Lu Qiao asked seriously: "Gu Jiayan, why haven't you answered my question yet?"

Gu Jiayan: "..."

A layer of cold sweat also broke out on her back.

Didn't expect Lu Qiao to be so eloquent, actually retorting her to the point of being speechless from this angle.

And she had never thought about these things from this angle.

These people are not Lu Qiao's exclusive connections; Director Zhou and Old Jiang have also contacted Brother Zhendong and the others.

So Lu Qiao said there was no problem.

Old Zhou felt a headache; a very simple matter was artificially made so complicated.

Lu Qiao said: "Director Zhou, I'm going back to 516. If there's anything, call me."

Then she said helplessly to Gu Jiayan: "You didn't answer my question either, what are you doing in silence?

Alright, go out with me, don't affect Director Zhou's work."

If Gu Jiayan came out of Director Zhou's office like this, if it was distorted by someone with ulterior motives, who knows what would be spread.

So Lu Qiao brought Gu Jiayan here, and naturally she had to take this person out.

Old Zhou also waved his hand, simply and decisively but with a pointed meaning: "Put your mind on work, don't put your mind on crooked places, alright... go about your business."

Gu Jiayan felt her footsteps were a bit heavy, as if filled with lead.

Her expression was full of shame and annoyance.

Really regretful and hateful.

What I regret is that I shouldn't have gone to Old Zhou to ask for an explanation today.

Such a simple matter, why didn't I figure it out myself?

This connection, she could also completely hold in her own hands.

Why go through Lu Qiao?

This is not Lu Qiao's exclusive connection.

What I hate is Lu Qiao.

Why didn't she talk to me like this when she came and went in a hurry on weekdays?

If she had taken me to make a call earlier, would I have been enlightened, and wouldn't have gone to Old Zhou to ask for an explanation today?

If she didn't go to Old Zhou to ask for an explanation, would Brother Fang have had a conflict with Old Zhou?

Gu Jiayan felt a splitting headache.

She left Director Zhou's office with an ugly face, didn't even look at Lu Qiao, and walked towards the large office.

After thinking about

She needs to go to the post office to call her family; she is actually quite at a loss as to what to do in this situation.

Lu Qiao returned to the main office.

Xiao Jiang over there hurriedly looked at Lu Qiao and asked with concern, "How did it go? You two..."

Lu Qiao smiled and said, "We didn't argue, don't worry."

Before leaving, she said to Xiao Jiang, "I just called Proprietor Zhen, and he promised to go over there and check on the situation... If Director Zhou isn't there, he might call our office. If you receive the call, Brother Jiang, just call me back."

Xiao Jiang naturally agreed readily.

The two of them also tacitly avoided mentioning Gu Jiayan again.

Lu Qiao thanked Xiao Jiang and walked quickly out of the Foreign Trade Hall.

It was already late at night when Lu Qiao and Qin Heng finished dinner.

Passing by the food factory, Lu Qiao saw several large buses waiting at the entrance, specifically there to pick up the employees working overtime these past few days.

Then Lu Qiao also saw over a dozen bicycles parked on the side of the road; clearly, these were for picking up wives or partners after work.

Nanyang Chu He has placed additional orders.

And in a few days, Proprietor Chu is also planning to come here for a visit.

But the surge in orders is to be credited to Chao Haiguang.

To say that when the clam and the snipe fight, the fisherman wins might seem a bit unkind, but in reality, it seems to be about the same.

But regardless, wanting to bring down the Xiang Yang Instant Noodle Factory or annex it is not that easy.

After all, while certain policies now might not be beneficial for economic development, they actually serve as a protection for the Xiang Yang Food Factory.

And Lu Qiao won't give the other party that opportunity either.

Her information network is spread very wide.

She has a group of little cuties who can go anywhere in the world at any time.

Qin Heng drove the car past the entrance of the food factory; Lu Qiao didn't let Qin Heng stop, but she turned her head to look toward the main gate.

Her brows furrowed slightly.

It is now nine o'clock in the evening.

Overtime pay must be provided for working overtime, and the cafeteria will also provide extra meals.

However, among the crowd, one female employee looked full of anxiety, her hands tightly gripping the strap of her bag.

When the bus door opened, she was actually the first to rush on.

The people beside her had no objections.

An older sister said, "Liang Min, don't be anxious. Our situation is special these few days, and everyone needs to work overtime. You can't go back to cook on time. Your mother-in-law will surely understand. Besides, she's in good health and can cook; it's impossible that she's still waiting for you to go back and cook at this hour."

Lu Qiao's brows furrowed slightly.

Most of the female workers at the Xiang Yang Food Factory are in a state of having elderly parents above and young children below.

Most of them bear the dual pressure of work and family.

Every day when the bell rings for the end of the workday, many married female employees drag their exhausted bodies into the tide of people leaving work, hurrying home to plunge into the battlefield of the stove, firewood, rice, oil, and salt.

Liang Min is one of these female workers.

Lu Qiao has heard the name Liang Min before.

She is quiet and reserved but quick and nimble.

She used to be a temporary worker for the infrastructure team, but later, when the food factory held a recruitment exam, she successfully passed and became a regular worker.

As for her family situation, Lu Qiao is not very clear.

She thought to herself that she would talk to Meng Qingshan and Zhao Dajie tomorrow.

For those with special family circumstances, they shouldn't be scheduled for overtime.

Many times, reality is helpless and cruel.

For various reasons, even she has to bow to this kind of reality.

Qin Heng asked Lu Qiao in a low voice, "Do you want to get out of the car?"

Lu Qiao shook her head: "No need, let's go straight home."

And at this moment, the first large bus filled with overtime workers had already started slowly.

Lu Qiao even heard a man say gently, "Wife, you must be exhausted. I made wontons, pork and scallion filling. I'll boil a bowl for you when we get home."

Someone nearby said with a smile, "Engineer Wu, boil a bowl for me too while you're at it..."

Engineer Wu continued in a gentle voice, "I'm really sorry, I only made one bowl."

Lu Qiao couldn't hear what was said afterward, but her furrowed brows had already smoothed out.

Perhaps this is life.
