Chapter 802: Blocked outside the door by Little Ma?
Upon hearing this, Grandma Qin's eyes immediately lit up.
She liked listening to Lu Qiao speak the most; every time she finished chatting with her, she felt like she had a backbone, and even felt there was no need to go and discuss it with her son and daughter-in-law.
The haze in the old lady's heart was swept away; as long as this granddaughter-in-law had spoken, she thought, others would surely not object.
Unknowingly, this granddaughter-in-law of hers could already manage half the household.
The heavy stone that had been pressing on her heart finally landed, and her whole person felt much more relaxed.
So Grandma Qin said: "My meaning is also to bring her back, don't add a burden to Little Luo... Your grandfather isn't as busy as before now, can't we two old folks watch one person?"
Just at this time, Aunt Guo smiled and brought out two glass cans filled with spicy beef sauce she had made herself. She handed them to Lu Qiao and said gently: "Little Lu, I've been simmering this sauce for a long time; it's very fragrant when eaten with hot steamed buns. I just steamed a cage of buns, you take them to eat on the road. It's not even two days by train, the buns won't go bad on the train."
Lu Qiao took the beef sauce and thanked her repeatedly. She turned her head to let Grandma Qin go back to the room for a nap, while she urged Qin Hengzhi to drive her to the Foreign Trade Bureau quickly.
Arriving at the General Bureau, Lu Qiao went straight to the Development Department and submitted her written "Feasibility Plan for Rebuilding a Woolen Sweater Factory at a Certain Textile Factory in Jiangcheng" to Director Lu.
The office environment of the Development Department was obviously much more spacious and bright than the previous Fifth Division.
Although Gu Jiayan could not be transferred back, Little Ma was doing quite well here.
Lu Qiao had long noticed that no matter when she came over, the set of tables and chairs on her desk was always wiped spotless. Every time the bureau distributed supplies, Little Ma would always be the first to collect them for her.
Some were placed on the table, and some were carefully packed and placed to the side.
This time was no exception.
Seeing Lu Qiao enter the door, Little Ma nimbly picked up her special tea mug from the side of the table, poured a full cup of hot water, and handed it over, then turned and went back to his own work.
Lu Qiao only had time to thank him softly.
One had to admit, Comrade Little Ma walked as fast as the wind and did things with great vigor.
Director Lu had his own independent office. When Lu Qiao came in, he was sitting at a large table in the open office area.
For every plan Lu Qiao submitted, he looked at it with extra seriousness. This time was no exception.
However, the plan was quite long and couldn't be finished in a short while, so he signaled Lu Qiao to sit down first and report the core content to him briefly.
Director Lu had wanted to take her to his office for a detailed talk, but he didn't expect movement at the door at this time; it turned out to be Wang Wang Qiqi standing at the door holding a thick stack of materials.
She wanted to be transferred to the Development Department, but Bureau Chief Bai and Director Lu never let go; with personnel not nodding over there, she couldn't be transferred in here.
Little Ma, standing at the door, glanced at Wang Wang Qiqi and greeted her politely: "Comrade Qi, are you here to deliver materials? Give them to me, I'll help you pass them on."
Wang Wang Qiqi glared at Little Ma.
She was indeed here to deliver materials, otherwise why would she be holding such a big stack of things?
But this was an opportunity she had found with great effort; how could she be easily blocked outside the door?
She straightened her back and replied stiffly: "I want to hand this material to Director Lu personally."
Director Lu heard the movement at the door and turned his head. Lu Qiao also looked in the direction of his gaze; oh, it turned out to be Wang Wang Qiqi.
Director Lu smiled and waved: "Little Qi, you've worked hard."
Wang Wang Qiqi held the materials, and while walking toward the desk, she said with a fawning smile: "It's not hard, this is what I should do."
Before the words fell, she had already walked quickly to Director Lu.
Director Lu was sitting on a chair next to Lu Qiao's desk flipping through documents. Wang Wang Qiqi put down the materials, and with a sweep of her peripheral vision, she happened to see that what Director Lu was holding was Lu Qiao's plan.
She shouldn't have asked more, but driven by strong curiosity, she thickened her skin and leaned over to ask: "Director Lu, do you have new projects again? What big move are you going to make this time?"
The smile on Director Lu's face faded a bit.
This Little Qi relied on having some background at home, plus her own business was okay, so she was inevitably a bit ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.
But he remained warm on the surface and asked back: "Comrade Little Qi, is your work on hand not busy anymore?"
Wang Wang Qiqi's face flushed red, and she cursed Director Lu in her heart for not giving her face.
She had specifically borrowed the name of delivering materials to run this trip after learning that Lu Qiao was coming.
Seeing this, Wang Wang Qiqi's eyes rolled, her gaze turned to Lu Qiao, and she changed the subject: "Comrade Lu, I want to say a few words to you, I wonder if it's convenient for you?"
Lu Qiao looked up at her, her tone businesslike: "Official business or private business?"
Wang Wang Qiqi was stunned, but quickly adapted to Lu Qiao's straightforward style and said with a stiff scalp: "It's a bit of private business, I want to ask you for advice... about Sang Juan."
Mentioning this name, Director Lu's brows furrowed imperceptibly.
But Lu Qiao was very straightforward and nodded: "Okay, I'll report the official business to Director Lu and then you come over. It will take about an hour, come to the office to find me then."
Wang Wang Qiqi pouted, not liking Lu Qiao's condescending tone, as if she were the leader.
But she had to listen, so she could only turn and leave with a belly full of anger.
After Wang Wang Qiqi left, Lu Qiao began to report the plan for rebuilding the woolen sweater factory to Director Lu in detail.
This was good; even Section Chief Wei and several other colleagues put down their work and gathered around.
Seeing this, Little Ma decisively closed the door of the Development Department, and no matter who came for business, he would block them with a smile: "There is an important meeting temporarily, it's not very convenient, just wait a moment."
People who came for business were not surprised, nor were they in a hurry...
If they were really in a hurry, they would have called to urge them long ago.
Besides, when was there ever no movement in the Development Department?
Lu Qiao finished the plan concisely, and Director Lu nodded frequently while listening. He actually recognized it in his heart; if Bureau Chief Bai were present at this moment, he would definitely write the word "Agree" on the plan with a big stroke.
It was a pity he was not Bureau Chief Bai and couldn't be sure of the Bureau Chief's specific considerations.
"If Lu Lu Qiaoge, you can tell Bureau Chief Bai yourself, that would be best," Director Lu closed the plan: "However, Bureau Chief Bai is not in Beidu these two days, and you are returning to Jiangcheng tonight. What do you plan to do? Act first and report later, or wait until the approval document comes down before taking action?"
"I will stay in Jiangcheng for half a month, and during this time I will conduct an on-site investigation of the market situation," Lu Qiao replied.
"Then why not choose Beidu?" Director Lu asked, "Although Jiangcheng is close, at our latitude, it is not far from Mobei, and the geographical conditions are similar. Why not consider building the factory under our own noses?"
Lu Qiao smiled: "I intend to use Jiangcheng as a pilot. If it works, this factory can be merged into the Jiangcheng Down Jacket Factory in the future. Uncle Xu also mentioned this idea when he called me last time." *** **CHAPTER 803**
