Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 153 will still be updated with an extra chapter.
In fact, Meng Qingshan and Hu Ze were both puzzled. Hadn't they just given it away for free?
Before they could even react, the other party had already spent money to buy it!
This... is a bit hard to keep up with.

But I did learn something.

Using any excuse, Zhen Xi and Lu Qiaoge stood by the window.

This ensures that no one can hear their conversation.

Lu Qiaoge then said to Zhen Xi with a serious expression, "Mr. Zhen must be very curious as to why I wrote you that note, right?"

Zhen Xi nodded and asked in a low voice, "How did you know?"

Lu Qiaoge said, "Besides being the factory manager of the food factory, I also have another position: a mediator at our Xiangyang Subdistrict Office. Although I haven't been working here for long, I've seen far too much. Every day I'm either mediating or on my way to mediate. Whether they're from Gangcheng or Jiangcheng, they're all pretty much the same in terms of human nature."

"Mr. Zhen may not fully understand how warmly the people of Jiangcheng welcome you and Chairman Zhen. Not to mention, Chairman Zhen has helped us so much over the years; not only the people of Jiangcheng, but the people of China will remember that."

"We are taught to always put the honor of the country first. We are willing to sacrifice personal interests for the sake of national honor. So before your arrival, the Swan Hotel had already conducted countless checks. The character of the service staff from top to bottom is trustworthy. Of course, even the best-laid plans can have oversights, I admit, but it is only a one in ten million possibility."

"You may also know the procedure for cleaning a room; it's not done by one person, but by the assistant manager in charge, followed by the two best service staff."

"So, after eliminating that one in ten million, besides your assistant and bodyguard, the only remaining person is Secretary Xue."

"Based on my womanly intuition, I can boldly say that Secretary Xue has a close relationship with your father. She may also know the significance of the gold watch to you."

"Perhaps Mr. Zhen offended her unintentionally, and she must have been unhappy. So she took the thing you care about most. I have no reason to speculate whether she wanted to destroy it or just scare you, but I can confirm that the time she took the gold watch and the time Commander Yan visited you were around the same time."

"Secretary Xue wouldn't carry a gold watch on her person; she'd be worried it might accidentally show. Besides, she's wearing a silk suit that doesn't have pockets."

"Secretary Xue can only temporarily place the items in the chairman's room."

“I know the layout of this room; there’s a vase on the table by the door.”

"So I took a risk and wrote this note. I didn't expect it to be exactly as I predicted. Mr. Zhen, please rest assured, this is something only I know and I won't tell anyone else."

Looking at Lu Qiaoge, who was speaking eloquently, Zhen Xi wanted to say that this Miss Lu was too talkative.

She should all become a TV host.

But everything Lu Qiaoge said was true.

After a long pause, Zhen Xi finally said, "Your analysis is correct. My gold watch is in the vase by the door. I did offend her, and she is taking revenge on me."

Turning her head to glance at the crowd talking over there, Zhen Xi said calmly, "My father pushed me out to protect her reputation."

Lu Qiaoge remained silent.

Zhen Xi sneered, "In my father's eyes, the so-called heir is nothing but a facade. His secretary, Xue, is more important than me."

Lu Qiaoge smiled but remained silent.

Zhen Xi didn't ask her to comment on household chores; she should just listen.

However, it must be said that Zhen Xi has weaknesses: she is impulsive, arrogant, and prone to acting on emotions, making her unsuitable as an heir.

She also unethically took advantage of his weakness to close the deal.

Zhen Xi looked gloomy: "Unfortunately, I am too weak and have no weight in my father's eyes and heart."

At this moment, Zhen Xi was completely unaware that she had talked so much with Lu Qiaoge.

Perhaps it's because we share a secret?
Lu Qiaoge couldn't stand it anymore, so she decided to kindly comfort him: "Don't worry about what you or others think. You are the heir. If your father had an accident now, you could rightfully inherit the Zhen Group. You are a beneficiary. This identity will allow you to accomplish many things, so why are you so resentful, as if you have suffered some great injustice?"

Zhen Xi: ……

You really dare to say that.

But it must be said that Director Lu's words made sense.
-
On the way back to the military factory, Meng Qingshan and Hu Ze were filled with admiration, excitement, and exhilaration.

Then Lu Qiaoge patiently explained Zhen Xi's personality to them, saying that she was just opportunistic and knew how to treat people differently. Meng Qingshan scratched his head and said with a silly grin, "Factory manager, I understand. This is what they mean by saying one thing to one person and another to another."

Hu Ze laughed heartily.

Lu Qiaoge laughed and said, "Your understanding is not wrong either."

When they reached the intersection, she told the two people to go back to the food factory first, as she needed to go to the street office to report to Director Hu and Deputy Director Huang.

Director Hu and Deputy Director Huang happened to be there.

Lu Qiaoge took out the contract, which was to be given to Director Hu.

Old Hu and Huang Juan read the contract word by word.

Nowadays, contracts are all handwritten, but they still have an official seal, a signature, and a fingerprint.

Old Hu looked at the official seal in traditional Chinese characters, in particular, again and again.

This contract is made in triplicate.

Xiao Zhu from the Foreign Trade Department took one copy, the Subdistrict Office took one copy, and the other copy naturally ended up in Zhen Xi's hands.

So as long as a thousand melon seed baskets are woven and transported to the port city along with the melon seeds from the roasted nut factory, the food factory can receive 500 yuan in payment.
Of course, this is the translation in our local currency.

When the recipient mails the item, it is always a foreign exchange settlement.

Lu Qiaoge nodded: "That's right, the first batch is a thousand units, payment will be made upon delivery. Meng Qingshan and Hu Ze have already made the arrangements, there will be no problem with delivery on schedule."

Old Hu was excited.

Ten thousand is five thousand yuan!
He slammed his hand on the desk: "Even if we have to work overtime, we have to finish this. Our subdistrict office's top priority right now is to complete the order with high quality and quantity. Everything else has to give way to it. Tell me, what do you need us to do now?"

Huang Juan also strongly supported this.

Although they are military factories, which are different from local factories, not all military factory workers are frontline workers. They belong to the rear area. Now they can make money for the country, reduce the country's burden, and earn foreign exchange. They must be very happy.

I thought Lu Qiaoge was just making a fuss over nothing.

Who would have thought that she would accomplish such a huge thing?

I'm extremely satisfied with this successor.

Suddenly, Lao Hu became uncertain again.

The neighborhood committee office is too small.

This completely limits Qiao Ge's abilities!

Of course, there's no rush.

Qiao Ge is still very young.

Since both directors were so supportive, Lu Qiaoge was happy to see it happen.

She gave them a detailed report on her work arrangements.

Mr. Hu said the arrangements were excellent, making the best use of resources and personnel, and without affecting the normal operation of the food factory.

However, he will send a few people over to help.

The first person he called out to was Shao Le, who immediately agreed to go to the food factory.

Lu Qiaoge had the same idea, because Shao Le represented the street office, which meant that there was another backbone.
