Chapter 626: Was she setting her up or praising her?

~7 min read 1,379 words

Sister Ji didn't speak.

Because she saw that Lu Qiaoge was no longer the sweet and beautiful person from just now, but had a serious expression, as if she had changed into a different person all of a sudden.

Lu Qiaoge saw that Sister Ji didn't speak, so she also remained silent, just looking straight at the other party, her bright eyes full of questions.

Sister Ji felt like something was wrong, but she couldn't say where the problem was.

She had to be the first to break the silence and ask Lu Qiaoge: "Could it be... that's not how it happened?"

Lu Qiaoge said: "Yesterday, Gu Jiayan and I went to Director Zhou's office together because I wanted to call Director Zhen, the Hong Kong businessman, to ask him to help contact a business."

"Then they said there was a quarrel in the room, Old Zhou ran out, and later you called him back."

Lu Qiaoge explained patiently: "The neighborhood office is preparing to open a female hygiene products factory. Gu Jiayan and I were discussing this, and Director Zhou felt it wasn't convenient to listen, so he went out. Isn't that normal?"

Subsequently, Lu Qiaoge's expression became even more serious: "Sister Ji, I believe what you heard is just these words. You absolutely wouldn't add oil and vinegar to it, right?"

Sister Ji choked.

She immediately stood on the spot and carefully recalled whether she had added oil and vinegar.

After all, it seemed the facts were not as those people had said.

Then Sister Ji was also unsure. When she was gossiping with that group of people, had she added oil and vinegar?

She felt a bit guilty. If this really wasn't how it happened, for someone of her age to be asked face-to-face by a young girl, it was quite embarrassing.

Lu Qiaoge continued to flatter her: "I know you will definitely seek truth from facts, so Sister Ji, can you tell me who you heard these words from?"

Sister Ji looked at the serious yet earnest Lu Qiaoge and really wanted to turn around and go back to her office.

But for some reason, she couldn't even take a step and could only say: "... That, I also forgot who said it."

Lu Qiaoge: "Sister Ji, I've heard that your memory is very good, and it was just this morning's matter, how could you forget who said it?

Moreover, I definitely have to report this matter to the leadership. This is clearly targeting Director Zhou and us comrades in the Foreign Trade Office.

Of course, I certainly can't say it's specifically targeting me.

After all, the rumors are praising me.

But why use the method of praising me to slander Director Zhou?

Isn't this clearly trying to create a conflict between me and Director Zhou?

If the two of us have a conflict, then can the work of the Foreign Trade Office continue?

When we established this office, the leaders above had great expectations, and everything was given a green light. We have been working diligently and cautiously, fearing that we would fail the leaders' trust."

Lu Qiaoge didn't give Sister Ji a chance to speak. After finishing these words, she immediately emphasized another sentence, but her voice was incomparably sincere: "Fortunately, Sister Ji came to tell me about this, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do. Thank you, thank you so much. How about this, if you really can't remember, let's go to Director Lu's office and recall it carefully, okay?"

Sister Ji's face flushed red.

Looking suspiciously at the sincere-eyed Lu Qiaoge, she secretly analyzed whether this girl's words were setting her up or praising her.

And she finally learned of Lu Qiaoge's ability.

She is worthy of being the best mediator in the Xiang Yang Neighborhood Office; this little mouth is just too good at talking.

Sister Ji actually just wanted to watch the excitement, and blocking Lu Qiaoge was also just to gossip.

Who would have thought that as they talked, this matter would become so serious.

How could this happen?

She had gossiped her whole life and watched the excitement her whole life, and this was the first time she had encountered such a situation.

Lu Qiaoge didn't give Sister Ji a chance to ponder blindly either.

Since you jumped out, then come with me to Director Lu's office.

This is the best solution at the moment.

And at this time, Old Zhou happened to be in Director Lu's office.

Lu Qiaoge grabbed Sister Ji's hand and said righteously: "Sister Ji, you weren't wrong about one thing just now; I am someone who likes to step forward when encountering matters. Then I discovered that you, Sister Ji, are also such a person; otherwise, you wouldn't have pulled me here to talk about this quietly. Let's go to Director Lu's office now; this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise, something big will definitely happen."

Lu Qiaoge was talking while walking. Sister Ji didn't react at first, and by the time she did, she was already pulled by Lu Qiaoge to stand in front of Director Lu's office door.

Lu Qiaoge started knocking on the door.

Sister Ji, standing in front of the leader's office door, wanted to turn around and leave, but for some reason, the young girl's hand was particularly powerful, yet it didn't pinch her painfully.

And how did she end up confusedly walking here with Lu Qiaoge?

Sister Ji was now full of regret.

Why did she have to join in this excitement? What did it have to do with her? She was about to retire; even if Old Zhou was purged, she couldn't go there to be the director.

But Director Lu's voice sounded from inside: "Please come in!"

So Director Lu and Director Zhou in the office saw Lu Qiaoge walking in while pulling Old Ji's hand.

What was going on?

Even Old Zhou, who was familiar with Lu Qiaoge's style of doing things, was stunned for a moment.

But he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Even though he didn't know the result yet, he felt relaxed all over.

Since Lu Qiaoge dared to pull Old Ji here, then this so-called rumor would probably be resolved very soon.

Sure enough, Sister Ji bit the bullet and, under Lu Qiaoge's patient guidance, began to recall bit by bit who she had heard it from.

Because it was impossible for everyone to say this in unison.

And since she wasn't the one spreading rumors, then the person who told her about this definitely existed.

Even if three or four people said it together, then who started the conversation?

What is called following the vine to find the melon?

This is following the vine to find the melon!

Thus, this melon fell on the head of that Sister Kang.

And just now, Director Lu had also received a call from Beidu. The caller was Gu Jiayan's mother. Although they didn't know each other, Gu Jiayan's mother also worked in the ministry, so Director Lu was naturally very polite.

Gu's mother was straightforward; she said her daughter might have been led astray by someone, and she hoped Director Lu could pay attention to it and let Gu Jiayan pull back from the brink and not commit mistakes that shouldn't be committed.

And at this time, several people had already come and gone from Director Lu's office.

Finally standing here was Sister Kang with an ugly face.

And there was also Gu Jiayan with an equally ugly face.

She had only taken a morning off, and she didn't expect that the unit would have created such a big pile of rumors around her.

Those words couldn't be thought about in detail.

If she thought about them in detail, she would feel ashamed and angry.

What was called Old Zhou bullying her?

How could these people fabricate rumors so recklessly?

She asked Old Kang with a trembling voice: "Sister Kang, I have always respected you, but how could you speak recklessly without investigating clearly?"

Sister Kang knew that this matter couldn't end well, so she suddenly sneered: "Is it me speaking recklessly? Didn't you also tell me before that Director Zhou and Lu Qiaoge were both bullying you?"
