Chapter 700: **Shamelessness is Invincible**

The current export structure was inherently very singular.

Food exports were instant noodles, and in terms of handicrafts, there were the straw weaving from Jiangcheng, imitation cultural relics, porcelain, and the electronics factory in cooperation with Hong Kong—these were all Lu Qiaoge's achievements.

As for others... Lu Lu Qiao couldn't get her hands on agricultural resources, minerals, textiles, and the like.

It could be said that everything that could be thought of had already been thought of, unless she could create something that no one else had.

But that was easier said than done.

"However, don't be discouraged. The children of 516 never retreat. You don't have a specific post yet, but those who opposed you suggested you be a 'brick'—to be moved wherever needed. They said you still have to attend school, but I think this is also good; you can integrate faster..."

Lu Lu Qiao listened very seriously.

She hadn't specifically inquired, and her grandfather hadn't called her either. No matter what kind of stage it was, she would just perform her role well.

Hmm, besides, she wasn't going for grassroots training; this was a parachute landing—the kind that made people envious and jealous.

If there were no difficulties at all, that wouldn't be realistic.

So what Old Hu told her still sounded fresh.

Old Hu had truly put his heart into it, struggling to find out this information. One had to know that this was the Foreign Trade General Bureau, not an ordinary department; one could imagine how much effort Old Hu had spent.

Lu Lu Qiao indicated that she would keep all of this in mind and thanked Old Hu and Huang Juan once more.

Lu Lu Qiao rode her bicycle, preparing to go to Red Star Lake for a spin, when she unexpectedly ran into Kong Kong Fanrong halfway.

Kong Kong Fanrong hadn't expected to run into Lu Lu Qiao either. When she saw her, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly waved to stop Lu Lu Qiao.

Lu Lu Qiao had no choice but to get off her bike and ask with a smile, "Do you have something to ask me?"

She then added, "First, let me state that I don't accept souvenirs; it's really not appropriate."

Kong Kong Fanrong's face changed. *This dead girl, * she thought, *I'm empty-handed, why would she mention souvenirs? * It made her quite embarrassed.

However, she didn't treat Lu Lu Qiao with the same contempt as before.

No matter what, Lu Lu Qiao was now going to Beidu.

It was better not to offend her if she could avoid it.

But Lu Lu Qiao was also curious about what Kong Kong Fanrong could possibly want from her.

They say that shamelessness is invincible.

This Kong Kong Fanrong had a bit of that flavor.

She had actually managed to pull off the house swap. Lu Lu Qiao had secretly investigated it; the person they swapped with was Old Shang from the Finance Department, and it was a willing exchange, not forced.

After all, the other party was only half a rank lower than Kang Kang Yuxing.

And strangely, even after doing that, Kang Kang Yuxing hadn't divorced Kong Kong Fanrong, though they had argued several times, and he had run off to live in the unit dormitory.

But so what?

In any case, Kong Kong Fanrong cooked good meals every day and sent them to him, and they argued so much that many people knew about it. To avoid causing a worse impact, he finally had no choice but to return home.

It had to be said that Kong Kong Fanrong, who could marry Kang Kang Yuxing and achieve a class leap while having nothing, was no ordinary woman.

So Lu Lu Qiao didn't understand—the house swap was already done. What else was there to talk about?

Lu Lu Qiao turned her little brain around, but she really couldn't figure it out.

Kong Kong Fanrong said with a full smile, "Lu Qiaoge, first, congratulations on getting into Beidu University, and then congratulations on being transferred to the Foreign Trade General Bureau. You really are a capable person!"

Kong Kong Fanrong didn't sound jealous saying this. Truth be told, she really admired Lu Lu Qiao.

Lu Lu Qiao's situation was similar to hers back then.

Also having nothing, no power or influence at home, and then being dumped by a snobbish fiancé.

But after she started dating Qin Qin Hengzhi, she had been on a smooth path to success.

So while many people were jealous of Lu Lu Qiao, Kong Kong Fanrong really couldn't bring herself to be.

It was just that the two of them had taken different paths.

If Lu Lu Qiao knew what she was thinking, she could only give her two words plus an exclamation mark: *Heh! *

"I wanted to ask you something a few days ago, but you were too busy, and I couldn't catch a glimpse of you. I just wanted to ask where you bought the floor tiles for your house? I want to buy some and pave the floors of my bathroom and kitchen."

Lu Lu Qiao wanted to roll her eyes. *She stopped me just to ask about this? *

"Qin Qin Hengzhi applied for those separately from the top. It was an additional business deal with Hong Kong foreign trade. The Hong Kong factory that produced them, however, had its boss run off to a foreign country with his mistress a few days ago, and the factory has now stopped production."

Kong Kong Fanrong looked at the expression on Lu Lu Qiao's face, seemingly trying to determine if she was telling the truth or lying.

"Don't doubt it; I have no reason to lie to you about this. And even if that factory were still in business, it wouldn't be easy for you to apply to buy them. Actually, you don't need to be in such a hurry; you can wait a bit. Maybe in a few years, our own country will be able to produce floor tiles."

Kong Kong Fanrong curled her lips, thinking: *Can what we produce compare to what foreign countries produce? *

The feeling is just different.

Just like how domestic clothes can't compare to foreign trade goods now.

Of course, she didn't dare say this out loud; she could only think it in her heart.

Tomorrow, Lu Lu Qiao was going to Beidu with Qin Qin Hengzhi. Qin Qin Hengzhi had come back to check that Lu Qiaoge was fine before running back to the workshop.

Lu Lu Qiao was indeed fine. She was in her space checking on the ginseng and lingzhi. She had learned from Sun Lao how to process these medicinal herbs. She had harvested a batch a few days ago and finished processing them, just waiting to send them to Sun Lao when she went to Beidu.

Of course, she had also prepared two buckets of spring water as a cover.

And she had left all the medicinal pills Sun Lao gave her for her grandmother and parents.

Lu Lu Qiao had just come out of her space when she heard Little Little Cangcang say to her: 【Little Master, something big has happened.】

Lu Lu Qiao glanced at Little Little Cangcang; this little guy had learned to be mysterious now.

So she asked, "Tell me quickly, what big thing happened?"

Little Little Cangcang immediately said: 【Wang Great Ming's wife from the Second District and her mother-in-law got into a fight. Auntie Tong and Duan Duan Jingmin went to handle it. That Duan Duan Jingmin might have been eager to show off and didn't take your words to heart. She saw Old Lady Wang crying pitifully and said to Wang Great Ming's wife: 'Regardless of anything else, this is your mother-in-law, an elder, how can you argue with an elder?'】

That was... not exactly wrong.

But you don't start by criticizing and lecturing, sister!

Lu Lu Qiao followed up: "And then?"

【Then Wang Great Ming's wife said to Duan Duan Jingmin: 'You young person who hasn't worked for many days, you criticize me without investigating anything. Don't think that just because you've become a mediator, you've become Lu Lu Qiao. I advise you to learn from Lu Lu Qiao properly, because you are far behind her...'】

Lu Lu Qiao blinked.

If said in front of everyone, that would indeed be very stimulating.

Especially to Duan Duan Jingmin, who was proud and wanted to achieve results completely different from her, Lu Lu Qiao.

Because she didn't want to learn her work style.

Duan Duan Jingmin wanted to stand out.

Being compared like that, she definitely wouldn't be happy.

Lu Lu Qiao asked: "So, Duan Duan Jingmin and Wang Great Ming's wife started arguing?"
