Chapter 673: How impressive!

As soon as Lu Qiao said this, the table suddenly went quiet.

Liu Dahui's expression turned somewhat ugly.

He had wanted to tell a few jokes to ease the atmosphere, but he found himself unable to find a reason to open his mouth.

Qin Hengzhi curled the corner of his lips; he never worried about Lu Qiao being bullied.

His wife was skilled in both civil and military affairs.

Even he was no match for her, let alone others.

But his impression of Zhou Shanshan grew even worse.

Qin Hengzhi never used harsh words to describe anyone...

But he felt this Zhou Shanshan was ugly in character and detestable.

In this setting, with everyone knowing who Zhang Qiaozhi was and who had organized the down jacket factory, what was the meaning of bringing up Zhang Qiaozhi to Lu Qiao so blatantly?

Did she want Lu Qiao to tell her that Zhang Qiaozhi was now just a manual laborer, down-and-out, and couldn't compare to her own current success?

So, in Zhou Shanshan's mind, after asking this, what did she want Lu Qiao to answer?

Qin Hengzhi glanced coldly at Liu Dahui; he felt Liu Dahui's parents were right—Liu Dahui was indeed blind.

He also doubted whether such a person could manage a district well.

If Zhou Shanshan didn't interfere, it would be one thing, but if she did... the results would be unimaginable.

Qin Hengzhi felt that when the organization conducted its evaluations, this point should be taken into account.

Wang Zhiguo and Li Xiuying exchanged a look; Li Xiuying's eyes held a gleam of satisfaction, though she masked it well.

Serves her right, it really serves her right.

You could have just stayed silent and played the mute, and that would have been better than being so oblivious to the situation.

Do you think Lu Qiao is me, Li Xiuying?

Now look at you.

Let's see what you have to say next.

Zhou Shanshan truly hadn't expected Lu Qiao to answer her this way.

She had thought Lu Qiao would say she didn't know the person.

In that case, she would have naturally introduced Zhang Qiaozhi's identity and taken the opportunity to tell Lu Qiao to look after Zhang Qiaozhi if she encountered her at the factory.

Even if you don't respect the monk, you respect the Buddha; regardless, she was once Liu Dahui's fiancée.

She didn't like Lu Qiao, but Zhou Shanshan knew she couldn't do anything to her.

So her conversation with Lu Qiao was basically over; she could talk later if she wanted, or ignore her if she didn't.

Everyone thought Lu Qiao was amazing, but she, Zhou Shanshan, didn't think so.

Everyone just lived their own lives.

No matter how capable Lu Qiao was, she couldn't borrow any of her light.

But who could have guessed that the bitch Zhang Qiaozhi didn't go to the workshop as a laborer, but was sitting in an office in the design department?

She knew Director Tian; she had been sidelined before, but later Lu Qiao promoted her, and now she was a very powerful figure at the down jacket factory.

So now Zhang Qiaozhi had become Director Tian's assistant?

Zhou Shanshan stared at Lu Qiao in disbelief, not knowing how to speak.

Lu Qiao smiled and asked her again: "So, which Zhang Qiaozhi are you asking about?"

Zhou Shanshan's expression changed.

Liu Dahui, over there, cooled his expression and said: "Shanshan!"

Qin Hengzhi chuckled.

This laugh made Liu Dahui's face flush red instantly; Wang Zhiguo didn't know what to say either, feeling it was quite indescribable.

A surge of anger rose in Zhou Shanshan's heart.

In front of these people, especially Lu Qiao and Li Xiuying, Liu Dahui was actually giving her a cold shoulder, leaving her unable to step down, so she angrily said: "Liu Dahui, what do you mean by that?"

She wanted to accuse Lu Qiao of working against them, but she didn't dare.

So she could only lash out at Liu Dahui.

Liu Dahui's expression was very ugly.

Wang Zhiguo, over there, frowned and said: "I am the oldest here, and you all call me Big Brother, so let me say a few words. Comrade Zhou Shanshan, just now when Xiao Lu asked you which Zhang Qiaozhi you were asking about, why didn't you answer? And what is your motive for asking about Zhang Qiaozhi? Are you happy if she's doing poorly, or jealous if she's doing well?"

Lu Qiao looked at Wang Zhiguo with a smile.

Not bad, that was well said; he could say a bit more.

Zhou Shanshan was so angry her face twisted: "What, can't I ask about Zhang Qiaozhi? Does asking about her require some kind of motive?"

Lu Qiao spoke up at the right moment, still wearing a smile, appearing truly happy: "Of course you can ask. Although you didn't tell me which Zhang Qiaozhi you meant, I assume it must be the youngest one.

Since you are all so concerned about her, let me introduce Zhang Qiaozhi's recent situation here.

I suggested Zhang Qiaozhi's promotion because the down jacket factory held a design competition half a month ago, and Zhang Qiaozhi's work took first place.

Although her educational background isn't high, that's not a big problem; she is currently studying at night school and can try to take this year's college entrance exam.

If she can't pass, it doesn't matter; such talent must be cultivated as a priority.

Old Liu and I discussed that if she can't pass, we will send Zhang Qiaozhi to the Textile Academy in Beidu for further studies in the name of the unit."

Having said this, Lu Qiao looked at everyone's expressions with satisfaction and said in a pleasant voice: "Zhang Qiaozhi's mental state is very good now, and I have seen from her that a girl's life is not just about love but also about a career. Girls who can walk out of adversity are the best!

So you all don't need to worry or dwell on her anymore; what's in the past is in the past, and you can completely strip this person from your lives.

From now on, no matter where you are, try not to mention her name.

So, I will also thank you all on behalf of Zhang Qiaozhi for your concern."

If these people had been eating in a private room, it could be said to be incredibly quiet at this moment, even to the point where you could hear a pin drop.

Wang Zhiguo looked at Lu Qiao with great admiration.

These words...

How impressive!

Although they were in the main hall with over a dozen tables of guests eating, it wasn't exactly clamorous, but it was still quite lively.

Yet even so, the aura of the smiling Lu Qiao made Zhou Shanshan's heart tighten, and she no longer dared to provoke Lu Qiao.

She wanted to act as if nothing had happened, but her skills weren't up to par; she finally couldn't hold it together, and with a flushed and ugly expression, she lowered her head.

At this moment, the waiter brought two plates of dishes and placed them on the table.

Qin Hengzhi, whose expression was also very pleasant, pointed to one of the dishes as if no one else was around: "I ordered this specifically for you."

Lu Qiao gave Qin Hengzhi a sweet smile and picked up her chopsticks, ready to eat.

At this moment, Li Xiuying knew she shouldn't be moved, but she couldn't help but reach out and hug Lu Qiao, saying in a hoarse voice: "Qiao, you are so good."

Lu Qiao smiled and patted her hand: "Sister-in-law, I am indeed quite good, but I am protective of my food."

Li Xiuying knew what Lu Qiao was expressing.

At this moment, she suddenly saw things clearly.

She had been truly stupid; why did she go to ask a woman of Zhou Shanshan's character about exam matters? ===== CHAPTER 674 =====
