Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 130 A True Goldfish

This mat was woven by Xiao Si for Hua Hua. Although it's not very tight, it's very regular.

Xiao Si has developed a lot of patience over the past few years of making cardboard boxes.

At this moment, Hua Hua stood on the mat and opened the cloth bag with her paws, letting Lu Qiaoge see what was inside.

Lu Qiaoge will have to wake up whether she wants to or not.

The main problem is that they gave too much.

It wasn't a gold bracelet, a gold necklace, or a gold ring, but a truly golden goldfish.

It was so heavy that it had pinned the cat on Hua Hua's neck down, and it hadn't been able to straighten up yet.

Lu Qiaoge didn't want to turn on the light, so she opened the curtains and carefully examined the goldfish by the moonlight.

The eyes are made of rubies.

It was shaped like a goldfish, slightly smaller than her hand, with lifelike scales, as if it were carved from a single piece of gold.

There should have been a base underneath, but it's gone now.

"Did the pike give this to you?"

No, it was the old tortoise who brought it. It felt it shouldn't have lied to you, but it also felt it hadn't done anything wrong, so it gave it to you.

Hua Hua was just saying what it knew.

It can only offer opinions on simple things now, such as things related to itself.

So the old turtle didn't quite understand the behavior; it was just staring at the goldfish with its eyes shining.

Lu Qiaoge thought the old tortoise was really scheming; she was just asking.

Since the herbs cured Xiao Si, she couldn't possibly be indifferent to such a simple treatment method.

However, the old turtle knew the most about the bottom of the lake. It said it had lived for over a hundred years, but Lu Qiaoge thought it had lived for much longer.

As for the old tortoise not telling the truth about the herbs, Lu Qiaoge didn't care much. She didn't even ask any more questions at the time. Whatever the old tortoise said was true. Originally, these might have belonged to it.

Otherwise, why would it be reluctant to leave Red Star Lake?
Lu Qiaoge carefully put away the goldfish, which was indeed a real goldfish, and asked Hua Hua with a smile, "Did the old turtle say anything else?"

Hua Hua shook her cat head: [Let me think... Ah, he said to wait and see, that's all.]

The old tortoise still had some treasures, but it preferred to compensate her with a goldfish rather than the herbs, presumably because it had its own reasons.

These ones are truly sentient.

Lu Qiaoge stroked the cat's head a few times, then drowsiness washed over her: "Go to sleep."
-
The next day.

Director Hu and Lu Qiaoge are reporting to the factory director in his office.

She and Director Hu went there after the factory manager and others finished their Monday meeting.

It was around 10 a.m.

Old Hu was talking about Zhen Xi's trip to the food factory. Lu Qiaoge was talking about how she, Sister Su, and the foreign trade department went to the hotel to see Zhen Xi. Later, the provincial foreign trade bureau was very surprised when they found out. They didn't expect that sunflower seeds could be exchanged for foreign exchange. So what were they hesitating for? They should exchange them quickly.

So the Foreign Trade Bureau sent three cars to follow, making a total of five cars, including a bodyguard and the inspection team's entourage.

Upon hearing this, Director Hao exclaimed, "Good heavens, didn't this show of force scare Director Gong?"

Lu Qiaoge: "Mr. Zhen didn't taste the melon seeds himself; he had his bodyguard try them. The bodyguard said they were delicious and very fragrant, so he said, 'Then let's order 100,000 worth first.'"

Factory Director Hao smiled: "Good, it went smoothly."

There's definitely no problem. There's no possibility of any private contact. With the Foreign Trade Bureau and the accompanying inspection team, it's impossible to have any contact with them privately.

Therefore, this order was obtained through legitimate means. Lu Qiaoge deserved the reward.

Listening to reports is a normal work procedure for him.

Factory Director Hao also said, "Qiao Ge, don't worry, if they dare to renege on their debts, I'll go to their leaders and ask for the money."

Old Hu laughed heartily and said to Lu Qiaoge, "Aren't you going to thank Director Hao?"

Lu Qiaoge naturally thanked the very approachable Factory Director Hao with a smile.

Director Hu and Lu Qiaoge were supposed to return to the subdistrict office, but just then, the phone on the factory director's desk rang.

Director Hu and Lu Qiaoge stood up together; they knew they couldn't just listen to the factory manager's phone calls.

Old Hu gave Factory Director Hao a hand signal and prepared to leave with Lu Qiaoge.

Factory Director Hao waved his hand and answered the phone.

Just as Lu Qiaoge closed the office door, Factory Director Hao suddenly called out to her, "Qiaoge, wait a moment."

Lu Qiaoge and Lao Hu exchanged a glance, and then she went back into the office.

Old Hu naturally followed him inside.

Factory Director Hao put down the phone, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's from the Foreign Trade Bureau. They said the contract was supposed to be signed today, but Zhen Xi said he lost something very important, and it involves the head of the cultural troupe and An Leilei. Those people are at the hotel. The people from the Foreign Trade Bureau asked me if Lu Qiaoge could go there to see if there's any hope for the order."

Old Hu glared: "This is utter nonsense! What kind of place is the Swan Hotel? Everyone from top to bottom is vetted. How could a thief possibly steal his things, especially important things? I think he's just pretending to be generous and bragging. His dad must have disagreed, and he's deliberately making excuses to break the contract. I always said capitalists are all bloodsuckers. They won't do anything that isn't profitable."

Factory Director Hao glared at him: "Why are you so agitated? Even if the Zhen family is not good, they are still the richest family in Hong Kong. They wouldn't resort to such underhanded tricks. Qiao Ge, I'll have Secretary Zhou and Deputy Director Huang go with you. After all, you're the one who brought in the order. We don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either. We'll find out what's going on. Of course, if the other party is being unreasonable, you'll come back immediately and ignore them."

Director Hao and Lao Hu both looked at Lu Qiaoge with concern.

Lu Qiaoge calmly replied, "Okay."

Both Director Hao and Director Hu expressed their appreciation for this attitude.

While Lu Qiaoge was waiting for Huang Juan at the street office, she called Hua Hua through Xiao Cangcang, who was wandering around nearby, and then asked Hua Hua to take Shu Da, Shu Er, and Yan Zi to the Swan Hotel.

Quietly, so as not to be noticed by humans.

Lu Qiaoge and Huang Juan rode in the factory manager's jeep.

When I got off the bus, I saw Sister Su standing at the door.

Seeing Lu Qiaoge arrive, his eyes lit up, and he pulled Lu Qiaoge aside and whispered, "I'll go with you. Don't worry, the inspection team is all here. We just want to find out if the lost items are directly related to the order. The police are investigating right now."

Lu Qiaoge asked, "What's lost?"

"It's a gold watch, the kind you wear around your neck."

Lu Qiaoge nodded and followed Sister Su into the reception room with Huang Juan and Secretary Zhou.

Lu Qiaoge spotted Zhen Xi, who was trying his best to hide his emotions, at a distance from the crowd.

However, Lu Qiaoge had good eyesight and immediately noticed that Zhen Xi's facial muscles were twitching slightly.

His hands were also clenched tightly.

On the other side were two pretty women, one older and the other a young girl whom Lu Qiaoge recognized as An Leilei.

During the curtain call, she heard Qin Hengzhi say that her family and his maternal grandfather's family lived in the same compound.

At this moment, An Leilei's eyes were red, and the woman next to her also looked unwell.

Su Hongmei lowered her voice: "That was Commander Yan and An Leilei. They came to invite Zhen Xi to the social dance party organized by the city tonight. Unexpectedly, after they left, Zhen Xi found that her things were missing. As a last resort, the police had to call them back."

I'm still asking for your continued support, my darlings! I love you all so much!
