Chapter 719

~8 min read 1,528 words

Lu Lu Qiao tidied up the materials on the desktop and scanned the surroundings calmly.

Hmm, no wonder Wang Wang Qiqi mocked Gu Gu Jiayan and incidentally ridiculed the Fifth Division for being idle; it was indeed quite idle.

Even the work on Eldest Sister Zhou's hands was gone, and she was tidying up her things, preparing to get off work.

Currently, export products were singular and fixed, making it very difficult to generate new trade.

The birth of the Fifth Division was in the early 1970s, when foreign trade was at its busiest. At that time, almost everyone with any awareness was thinking about how to earn foreign exchange for the country. The most famous was the imitation of cultural relics, which really did earn the country quite a bit of foreign exchange, especially in Beidu and its surrounding areas, where there were even more workshops firing various porcelains, and there were even specialized cultural relic stores and places for specialized acquisitions.

Therefore, the Fourth Division and the Fifth Division were born.

But now, these two departments couldn't develop new trade, and the old assets of the other three divisions couldn't be touched at all.

Therefore, saying it was idle was indeed very idle.

Lu Lu Qiao looked at Xiao Ma, who had just returned from fetching documents for Section Chief Wei, and didn't go to snatch his work.

He was originally in a state of being seconded; if it were too idle, it would really be hard to stay on.

Being busy was good; the busier, the better.

Xiao Ma saw Lu Lu Qiao sitting there without moving and let out a sigh of relief, truly worried that this newcomer, who was particularly diligent and capable, would come to snatch his work.

In that case, he, who was already dispensable, would really be sent back to his original unit.

Unexpectedly, just as they were getting off work, Wang Wang Qiqi and an older sister came to the Fifth Division holding two stacks of paper.

Wang Wang Qiqi saw that the staff of the Fifth Division all looked like they were preparing to get off work and felt very uncomfortable inside. But once she thought about the internal news that the Fifth Division was soon to be disbanded and its personnel arranged at discretion, she felt incredibly comfortable inside.

Hmph, let's see how you can be idle now?

Not waiting for the female comrade beside her to speak, she excitedly raised her voice: "These are materials that need to be organized immediately. Our First Division's work is busy; every day, just important meetings alone have to be held three to five times, and we also have to receive foreign guests and conduct external negotiations. We have always been working overtime, and everyone is spinning around like a top. We really can't spare the time, so our director had to discuss with Director Lu to let you help organize them. We need to use them in an hour. Sigh, I'm really sorry, it delayed your normal off-work time."

The large office of the Fifth Division was silent.

Just at this moment, the telephone rang. Xiao Ma ran to answer the phone; on the other end was Director Lu. He let Section Chief Wei answer the phone. Section Chief Wei didn't need to guess to know what Director Lu was talking about; no matter how arrogant Wang Wang Qiqi was, she wouldn't dare to lie or deceive people.

Therefore, what Director Lu instructed was about the same as what Wang Wang Qiqi said.

It was just that the tone and content of Wang Wang Qiqi's speech made people feel uncomfortable.

Consequently, everyone's gaze turned toward Section Chief Wei and Deputy Section Chief Zhou.

This matter could be done; originally, they should help each other. Especially in the situation where the First Division was busy with work recently, it made their own division look even more like they had nothing to do.

Being this idle all the time was not a good sign.

Everyone was clear about this in their hearts.

But being forced onto their heads like this by Wang Wang Qiqi was indeed very uncomfortable.

The female comrade who came with Wang Wang Qiqi was older and looked very steady. She scanned Wang Wang Qiqi, who was standing beside her, with some helplessness; everything that should and shouldn't have been said had been said by this girl.

But for some reason, she also felt very satisfied inside.

The Fifth Division had really been very idle this month.

This phenomenon was not an isolated case, and there was nothing strange about it.

Many factories were like this; busy positions worked overtime, while idle positions were so idle that people knitted sweaters, read newspapers, or even played poker.

Not every department at the General Bureau was as busy as their First Division.

But there was no help for it; some businesses were not things the Fifth Division could do.

However, the Fifth Division also often followed along to handle some things they couldn't handle, like the materials today; this was very good.

"Thank you for your hard work. On behalf of all the comrades in the First Division, I thank everyone."

Then the two placed the things on Lu Lu Qiao's desk; this was the place closest to the door.

Wang Wang Qiqi saw Lu Lu Qiao and felt puzzled; with the state of the Fifth Division, they were still bringing in newcomers?

Really didn't know what the leaders were thinking.

She didn't even look at Gu Gu Jiayan on the side, just said casually to Lu Lu Qiao: "You're the new one, right? You won't know how to organize these things. You don't need to help; don't mess it up and end up having us rework it."

She originally thought that after saying this, it would be over, and then they could return to their own office.

Wang Wang Qiqi spoke nonchalantly.

She didn't put a newcomer in her eyes at all.

And from the surface, there was no problem with what Wang Wang Qiqi said.

Lu Lu Qiao was indeed a newcomer, and no matter how capable she was, she wouldn't be able to sort out the affairs of the unit.

And Wang Wang Qiqi's persona was that of a girl who was outspoken but very capable at work and also had a very strong background.

It seemed these people were already accustomed to her speaking like this.

Even Deputy Section Chief Zhou smiled helplessly.

Just as they were about to start working, Lu Lu Qiao unexpectedly stood up, looked at Wang Wang Qiqi, and said very earnestly: "Comrade Wang Wang Qiqi, I am indeed a newcomer, and there is no problem with your words, but how did you conclude that I wouldn't know how to organize these materials? Also, you don't have to let me help, but how did you conclude that I would mess it up?"

Once these words were spoken, the entire office suddenly became quiet.

Everyone looked at Lu Lu Qiao.

Some people didn't even react, such as Wang Wang Qiqi before them.

She really didn't expect Lu Lu Qiao to refute her.

Gu Gu Jiayan wanted to laugh out loud.

Look, look, I said you shouldn't really treat Lu Lu Qiao as a newcomer; you've kicked an iron plate, haven't you?

A figure who could stir up wind and rain in Jiangcheng, did you think she was really nothing after arriving in Beidu?

Deputy Section Chief Zhou was just about to speak but was stopped by a look from Section Chief Wei.

Treat this as a squabble between young girls; don't get involved.

Besides, helping was fine; after all, they were all in the same unit. Although not in the same department, helping each other was originally what should be done.

But the First Division let Wang Wang Qiqi come to them every time.

The young girl spoke without restraint, and most people wouldn't hold it against Wang Wang Qiqi.

Everyone said, if you don't look at the monk, look at the Buddha.

It was said that the old man of the Qi family was most proud of this granddaughter.

What was the status of the Qi family?

Just looking at Wang Wang Qiqi having a special car and a guard to pick her up every day after work was enough to know.

It was only Gu Gu Jiayan, who was of similar age to her, who would lock horns with Wang Wang Qiqi.

But the two families had a relatively good relationship and often visited each other.

But who was Lu Lu Qiao?

Oh, right, she wasn't an ordinary person either; she was now the granddaughter-in-law of the Qin family.

But Old Man Qin had already retired in the past six months.

Although they still lived in the compound, compared to the Qi family, they were still a bit behind.

Lu Lu Qiao was also too ignorant of the depth of things; how could she make an enemy of the Qin family just after arriving at the General Bureau?

Offending Wang Wang Qiqi for no reason wouldn't lead to any good fruit.
