Chapter 923: Gossiping behind people

~7 min read 1,359 words

In this Foreign Trade General Bureau, the first person Lu Qiao admired was Director Lin.

This was a woman with an open mind.

For things that were crucial in the eyes of some other women, they seemed light in her heart.

She wasn't pretending to be generous; she was truly broad-minded.

Chatting with her, you felt that even if you were in a cramped little office, you seemed to be in a vast and boundless space.

That kind of mood was very refreshing.

Lu Qiao had never inquired about Director Lin's family and past. Unless she was provoked, or it was a last resort, she would never take the initiative to inquire about other people's privacy.

Although she didn't know the specific situation of Director Lin's family, she thought it hadn't reached the point of dragging her down.

But what was the situation now?

However, Lu Qiao didn't have the habit of listening to gossip behind people's backs.

She walked forward generously according to her original rhythm.

Old Peng, who was talking to another colleague, looked up and saw Lu Qiao walking in from the door.

She gave a wink to the female colleague opposite, and that woman immediately stopped talking.

Then everyone started working, and several people worked together to classify the newly arrived seasonings, register the time, and put them on special shelves.

People working here must be of high quality. Two people with a good relationship might discuss other people's affairs, but if three people were present, it would be hard to say such gossip.

They talked about work matters, and Lu Qiao just pretended she hadn't heard anything.

However, after Lu Qiao left, the two were still whispering there.

"Do you think Lu Qiao could hear what we were saying just now?"

"She shouldn't have heard it."

"Then let's test it."

After all, it wasn't very good to talk about Director Lin's family affairs in front of Lu Qiao.

That female comrade was about to walk over there: "When I stand at the door, you speak in the tone we just used."

Old Peng pulled that female colleague and said to her: "Just rest assured, Lu Qiao is not that kind of person. Even if she heard it, she wouldn't talk nonsense in front of Director Lin. I believe in her character."

That female colleague thought for a while and said somewhat disappointedly: "Oh, look at me, why did I talk about Director Lin's affairs for nothing? She is already worried enough."

Old Peng said in a low voice: "If you encounter such a thing, either you don't divorce and live like this, and don't give up your place to that disgusting woman until you die.

Or if you can't think it through, the two of you will make a big fuss.

But how to make a fuss?

They are both busy with work, and her mother-in-law is paralyzed in bed and needs someone to take care of her.

That old lady doesn't want anyone else, she only recognizes this relative.

I tell you, for someone who is paralyzed in bed, I don't know how long she can live. Sometimes family members may not be able to outlive her.

So, it's hard to say how long one will have to endure this.

But let's tell the truth here, taking care of a paralyzed patient all year round is truly not an easy thing.

Director Lin's husband doesn't dare to have substantial behavior, but for such a woman, you say he is grateful or not?

He must be grateful to her from the bottom of his heart for taking care of his mother.

Look, even his father abandoned his mother.

Actually, his parents divorcing at such an old age really hit him quite hard.

He must be more cautious now.

So if it really makes a fuss, I estimate Director Lin can't find his fault either.

Actually, I think it's quite good for someone like Director Lin. If you think it through, a person's life is not just about family matters, but also career."

Another female colleague sighed: "Even if the career is successful, if the family is like that, is it really not worrying? The children have all been won over by that woman. Thinking about it, it's boring, right?"

Walking to here, Lu Qiao couldn't hear them talking anymore.

She wasn't deliberately listening, who let her five senses be so good.

Lu Qiao went to report to Director Lin. By the end of next month, Lu Qiao's work here would be handed over.

Director Lin said to Lu Qiao with a smile: "Sigh, if it weren't for the fact that there is no such large development space here, I really wouldn't want you to leave. I wanted to transfer you to my side."

Really, she really thought so, and even paved the way for Lu Qiao.

But Lu Qiao's development in the Development Department was obviously better, so Director Lin naturally couldn't mention it at all.

She just smiled and said a few words to Lu Qiao, and then prepared to let Lu Qiao be busy with her own business.

Unexpectedly, Lu Qiao had only walked a few steps when she was called by Director Lin.

"Xiao Lu, wait a moment, I want to say a few words to you."

Then she asked again, "Are you busy now?"

Lu Qiao shook her head and said: "I have nothing to do now."

Then Lu Qiao walked over and sat opposite Director Lin, looking like she was listening to her quietly.

However, Lu Qiao scanned Director Lin without changing her expression, but didn't see any other emotions in her eyes.

Director Lin poured half a cup of tea for Lu Qiao, then placed it in front of her, and took two pieces of pastry for Lu Qiao, her voice carrying a smile: "Since you are not busy, stay here for a while and eat some pastry. This is emerald crisp, made from spinach juice and flour and baked. It has only been pushed out for a few days, and the response from top to bottom is quite good."

Lu Qiao didn't be polite.

She liked to come to the canteen, and another reason was that the level of the canteen chefs in the Foreign Trade General Bureau was quite high.

Lu Qiao had run to many places in this world openly and secretly. Although some places were just a glimpse or a flash, she had been there after all.

So Lu Qiao couldn't say she had eaten all over the world, but she had really eaten what she should have eaten.

She always felt that the canteen pastry chef was really amazing, always able to research the taste of "as long as you eat one piece, you want to eat the second piece", such as this emerald crisp. One bite down, it was fragrant and crispy, carrying a faint sweet taste.

Director Lin saw her eating happily, and her eyes couldn't help but bend.

Then she didn't delay and said to Lu Qiao: "I just heard about you and the Dong family. Dong Yuanyuan admitted in the general meeting of the compound that she lied to frame you, and also apologized to you. Is that so?"

Lu Qiao nodded: "Yes, she apologized to me."

"Xiao Lu, then you haven't thought that this apology is also a double-edged sword? No matter what, your cat broke into her house. Aren't you worried about people discussing you now?"

Thinking for a while, she said: "Actually, you can also have another solution for this matter."

Lu Qiao also said with a smile: "Is it 'the clear are clear and the muddy are muddy'?"

Director Lin said: "People in the world, many times you can simply divide them into two types.

The first type has their own ideas and judgments and will not be swayed by others at will.

The second type is to follow the wind. You say such words, he feels it makes sense, so he agrees with you; someone says other words, he feels it also makes sense, so he agrees with another person." ===== CHAPTER 924 =====
