Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 199 Going through the back door

In less than twenty minutes, the cultural palace venue, which had been lent to the trade fair, was ready.

It also passed the cultural palace's inspection smoothly, but in fact, even if it hadn't passed, it would still have been a contribution to the country.

There was naturally a victory celebration banquet in the evening.

The city provided the accommodations, which were at the Swan Hotel.

Zhen Xi and the others also happen to live here.

All members of the trade team were present.

Although everyone was physically exhausted, they were mentally invigorated.

Finally, we lived up to the organization's high expectations and successfully completed the mission.

Team Leader Xu said, "Qiao Ge, you should come to the Foreign Trade Department."

Lu Qiaoge smiled, knowing that Team Leader Xu would understand without her saying anything else.

With a beaming smile, Director Zhou remembered the matter that Lu Qiaoge had asked him to inquire about, so he walked over to Lu Qiaoge and said, "I've already inquired about it for you. Now the military industry and the local industry are not in the same system. You also have your own schools, so the only thing that needs to be coordinated by the city is the textbooks and the joint examination. As for the teachers, as long as they have teaching experience or relevant educational level, they are fine."

Lu Qiaoge then remembered that there is no such thing as a teacher's qualification certificate.

They were all recommended or directly appointed by their superiors.

For example, if the higher-ups say that you, Lu Qiaoge, can teach first-grade Chinese, then you can take up the post immediately.

Teachers are now divided into privately-run teachers and publicly-run teachers.

The military factory can do whatever it wants with its own night school; the local education bureau won't interfere, and of course, it won't assign teachers or pay their salaries.

So there shouldn't be any major problems in setting up Xiangyang Night School.

The task was completed without a single mistake, especially regarding the money.

So she, as a team member, didn't have to worry about anything. She just sat with Sister Su, waiting for the leader to speak and then they would have lunch.

After dinner, Sister Su whispered to her, "Qiao Ge, we all get bonuses. I'll call you when we get them."

Lu Qiaoge and Sister Su were already familiar with each other, so she didn't stand on ceremony and got into the city's jeep together.

It was already nine o'clock at night, so naturally we had to send Sister Su, who lived far away, and Lu Qiaoge, who lived even further away, back home.

Lu Qiaoge didn't ride her bicycle today; Qin Hengzhi came with her this morning.

However, Qin Hengzhi went back after noon and hasn't come back yet. He must have gone to the military research institute.

When Lu Qiaoge arrived at the gate of the military factory, she told the gatekeeper, and only then were the city's jeeps allowed to drive in.

The jeep stopped at the entrance of the Lu family's alley, and Lu Qiaoge got out carrying a canvas bag.

After thanking the driver and watching him drive away, Lu Qiaoge realized that she was still very tired today.

At this time, only Meng Xia and the old lady were still awake. Lu Qiaoge said a few words to them, washed up, lay down on the bed, petted the cat a few times, and then fell asleep.

Meng Xia stood in the yard for a while, and Grandma Lu said in a low voice, "Alright, there's nothing to feel sorry about. This is also a kind of training. Besides, you all suffered much more than she did when you were young."

Meng Xia thought about it and realized it made sense, so she tiptoed back into the house.

The next day.

A good night's sleep.

Because she had to attend a meeting in the trade group, Lu Qiaoge got up early.

Grandma Lu got up the earliest, heated up some steamed buns and porridge, and then made a pot of braised eggplant with the eggplant that Captain Lin had given her.

Mengxia made the soybean paste herself; in northern China, people don't actually call it pickling, they call it making soybean paste.

The flavor is incredibly rich.

Using this sauce to make small fish results in a fresh and fragrant flavor.

Seeing Lu Qiaoge get up, Grandma Lu said to her second granddaughter, "Why are you up so early? Are you going to the city today?"

Lu Qiaoge said she had to go to a meeting in a while, then went into her bedroom and took out the clothes she had bought for her family, giving them to Old Mrs. Lu first.

Grandma Lu accepted it with a smile. Nowadays, the old lady's clothes are either black or dark blue, with almost no other colors.

The dress Lu Qiaoge bought for Zhen Xi was similar in style to the one Grandma Lu was wearing, but it was made of silk and was apricot in color. Wearing it would not only make an older person look dignified but also youthful. This was Lu Qiaoge's suggestion to Zhen Xi.

She kept emphasizing the importance of respecting local customs, which everyone understands. It's like trying to sell pork to a Hui family; you'd get beaten up.

Therefore, all of Lu Qiaoge's suggestions were adopted.

As it turned out, Lu Qiaoge's suggestions were all correct.

After all, only our own people truly understand us.

Lu Qiaoge bought a shirt for Lao Lu.

I didn't buy him an overcoat because Comrade Lu's work clothes are very stylish.

As for Meng Xia, Lu Qiaoge knew she definitely wouldn't be willing to buy a trench coat, and even if she did, she wouldn't wear it. Lu Qiaoge bought her a women's coat that was still very popular at the moment, double-breasted with a three-open collar, no belt, slanted pockets, made of polyester fabric, and available in blue, gray and beige.

In fact, as long as the design is good, such women's clothing is not only practical but also beautiful.

That's why fashion is a cycle.

Lu Qiaoge said she wouldn't buy it for others, but she actually did buy it anyway.

Including Xiao Si, each person received a set of thermal underwear.

This was obtained through connections; someone reserved it in advance.

A versatile style that can be worn both as an inner and outer layer.

Lu Qiaoling hugged Lu Qiaoge and said coquettishly, "Second sister, you are so good."

Then he gave Lu Qiaoge 100 yuan: "I only bought scarves for a few of us, nothing else. Here's the money back."

Su Hui said, "I didn't even try to squeeze in. I didn't dare to squeeze with them. There were just too many people. I really didn't expect it."

Lu Qiaoge smiled and said, "No rush, there will be more in the future."

Lu Qiaoling asked in surprise, "Really?"

"real."

That would be great.

She wants to save money, to save as much money as possible.

When there's another trade fair, I can give back to my second sister and family.

The business group meeting was very lively, and everyone received a reward. Lu Qiaoge received the most, a full five hundred yuan.

It is said that it was specifically mentioned by the higher-ups.

Everyone else paid 200 yuan.

Sister Su sincerely thanked Lu Qiaoge. Without the opportunities Lu Qiaoge had arranged, her work wouldn't have gone so smoothly, and her workplace valued her highly.

Not to mention the 200 yuan bonus.

Although Team Leader Xu happily distributed the bonuses and was confident that there wouldn't be any major problems, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

After all, he received a call last night asking him to give a thorough report on the trade fair over the phone.

He gives a report every day, and this time the report is even more detailed.

However, he didn't tell Lu Qiaoge, but just smiled and told her, "Go back and rest. You don't need to go to the office. I called your Director Hu this morning, and he gave you three days off. You can go back to work next Monday."

Oh dear, a three-day holiday!

Lu Qiaoge happily thanked Team Leader Xu, said goodbye to the others, and rode her bicycle to the road near the Swan Hotel to listen to Xiao Cangcang and Shu Da report on the situation of the people monitoring her.

There are no new developments; everything is the same as usual.

Lu Qiaoge told them to stop monitoring them and wait until she and Zhen Xi made contact.

Another matter is monitoring the deputy manager of the fishing company.

Before Lu Qiaoge could even go over there, Yanzi Taotao flew over and reported first: "[Young Master, Deputy Manager Yan hasn't returned from his business trip yet...]"
