Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 154 Going through the back door

Lu Qiaoge checked the time and said to Director Hu, "Director Hu, I would like to ask for leave to leave work early."

Old Hu didn't even ask Lu Qiaoge where she was going, and immediately agreed with a wave of his hand.

Qiao Ge is so capable at work; sometimes she does in one day what others do in several days. Honestly, it wouldn't be a problem to let her work one day and rest the next.

Then Lao Hu saw a Jeep driving up to the entrance of the street office. Oh my, isn't that Representative Qin's car?
So he smiled and said to Lu Qiaoge, "Don't worry, Shao Le and I will go to the food factory together."

Lu Qiaoge felt more at ease knowing that Director Hu was going to inspect the food factory.

Besides, her arrangements were very reasonable. As long as we followed her instructions, completing a thousand baskets of melon seeds within the allotted time would not be a problem, and we might even exceed the target.

Lu Qiaoge went to the finance office again, and there were hardly any people queuing in the corridor anymore.

She decided to withdraw her salary.

The bookkeeper, Xiao Liu, wasn't in the office; only the accountant and cashier were there.

However, the desk was still blocking the doorway.

Sister Chu was very efficient, and it wasn't long before it was Lu Qiaoge's turn.

Lu Qiaoge was very curious about how much she could earn this month.

Since she has two jobs, how should this payslip be prepared?

Lu Qiaoge, with her good eyesight, saw her salary as the acting director of the food factory in the other column.

There is no subsidy for the basic salary.

But the monthly allowance was set at thirty-six yuan.

Although it wasn't a full month, Lu Qiaoge still paid 58.18 yuan.

Wow, that's a really good number.

Along with her salary, she also received food coupons, meat coupons, and sugar coupons. Although the meat coupons only covered one pound, they were enough to make Lu Qiaoge happy.

Sister Chu glanced at Lu Qiaoge; when she was given this salary, many people had strong opinions about it.

These people gossip behind people's backs, but to everyone's surprise, they couldn't give a reason for not giving it to their faces.

Moreover, there was no objection from above.

Their finance office is under the jurisdiction of the subdistrict office, but it is also managed by the first finance section.

After she finishes processing the payroll, she needs to go to the Finance Department for approval.

A payroll sheet requires the signatures of several managers.

She thought she would have to use her words.

Unexpectedly, the head of the finance department approved it after just one glance, clearly indicating that prior arrangements had been made.

She naturally wouldn't say anything unpleasant or gossip.

Lu Qiaoge happily put her salary into her handbag.

Why does it feel more substantial than 1,500 yuan?

Maybe it's because this is hard-earned money?

Qin Hengzhi waited patiently outside for Lu Qiaoge.

The neighborhood office is a single-story building, and you can see outside from the window.

Because the walls here are not high.

Then he saw Lu Qiaoge walking briskly.

Even his face was smiling.

Is she so happy because she's on a date with him?

Lu Qiaoge only realized that the girl was so happy because she was getting paid after she got into the car.

Qin Hengzhi couldn't help but chuckle.

Then they started the car and drove Lu Qiaoge towards the north gate of the military factory.

Halfway there, Qin Hengzhi stopped the car on the side of the road.

Lu Qiaoge looked out the window.

There are two primary schools nearby, but they are already on summer vacation.

The streets here are very quiet.

Lu Qiaoge didn't know why Qin Hengzhi had parked the car here.

She turned to look at Qin Hengzhi.

Qin Hengzhi gripped the steering wheel tightly for a moment, then released it, opened his briefcase, and took out a stack of receipts—the same kind of documents Lu Qiaoge was familiar with. He gave them all to Lu Qiaoge, saying casually, "I don't need these receipts, you can have them."

Lu Qiaoge took the receipts.

It's quite comprehensive.

It has to be said that Qin Hengzhi really has something going for him.

Even setting aside 100 jin of grain coupons and 30 feet of cloth coupons, just two bicycle coupons and one watch coupon would be enough to get a wife in this era.

Lu Qiaoge asked with a smile, "Is this all your wealth?"

Looking at Lu Qiaoge, who had a smile on her face, Qin Hengzhi's tense heart relaxed.

This was also the first time he had ever done something like this.

It's inevitable to feel a little uneasy.

He thought for a moment and said, "Most of them are in Jiangcheng. There are some left at home in Beidu, but I gave them all to my grandmother for safekeeping."

In those days, some tickets had expiration dates.

It cannot be used indefinitely, not to mention that it cannot be used across provinces in some cases.

Lu Qiaoge also thought this was a good idea.

She had no intention of accepting the other party's salary.

But there's no need to be so cautious about these tickets.

Besides Lu Da, Lu Zhiguo is the only one in the Lu family who owns a bicycle. He walks to the commuter station every day to wait for the shuttle bus.

Otherwise, Xiao Si wouldn't like her bicycle so much.

Modern bicycles are not much different from modern cars.

Lu Qiaoge thought that Qin Hengzhi must have had someone exchange the two bicycle tickets.

Lu Qiaoge neatly put the tickets into her handbag.

This action brought a look of pleasure to Qin Hengzhi's face.

Qin Hengzhi took Lu Qiaoge to a small building with whitewashed exterior.

A clerk at the door saw Qin Hengzhi and immediately smiled.

He put down what he was holding and embraced Qin Hengzhi warmly.

He patted him on the shoulder and said, "If I didn't make this call, you still wouldn't have time, right?"

Qin Hengzhi curled the corners of his mouth and introduced Lu Qiaoge: "This is my comrade-in-arms and former squad leader, Brother Chen Gang."

Lu Qiaoge greeted him with a smile, "Hello, Brother Chen."

This was a man in his thirties with a crew cut and an upright posture; he looked like a former soldier.

His face was full of smiles: "You must be Lu Qiaoge. Oh my, if you were to say it according to my wife, you two would be a match made in heaven. You are such a perfect couple. Come to my house sometime and let your sister-in-law cook you something delicious."

Lu Qiaoge smiled, her eyes crinkling, clearly indicating that she had a good relationship with Qin Hengzhi.

Qin Hengzhi thought for a moment and said, "Let's get together with our comrades in Jiangcheng when we have time."

Chen Gang said excitedly, "That's great! Let me know when you have time, and I'll make the arrangements."

Qin Hengzhi: "I'll call you."

Chen Gang picked up the items and said to Qin Hengzhi, "The upstairs door isn't locked. You and your partner can go up and pick whatever you like. Come down and find me when you're done, and I'll give you the receipt."

So Lu Qiaoge followed Qin Hengzhi up to the second floor.

When Lu Qiaoge pushed open the door, she was surprised for a moment.

This place actually looks like a clothing store.

The things were a bit messy, some hanging on the wall and others piled on the table.

Qin Hengzhi said, "This place mainly sells women's clothing and shoes. It's basically export-oriented and then sold domestically. It's not sold to outsiders. Right now, none of the people inside know about it. Brother Chen knows I'm dating someone, so he notified me first."

Lu Qiaoge said, "Yes, yes, I'm your boyfriend!"

Qin Hengzhi: ...

For some reason, he felt his face getting hot. He coughed lightly and said, "Take a look and see if there are any you like. Pick them all out."

Lu Qiaoge glanced at it but didn't delay, after all, this was a genuine case of using connections.

If someone has prior knowledge of the inside information and breaks in, it will put Brother Chen in a very difficult position.

That's how it is in times of scarcity.
