Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 252 Gold Recycling Counter
After everyone left, Liu Min started arguing with the clerk. She said the old woman was getting on in years and was trying to buy a red coat for her granddaughter's wedding. "Her intentions are so good! You know, many grandmothers these days still prefer sons to daughters. What right does she have to criticize her? If everyone were to make such a big deal out of nothing, then this gold recycling counter might as well be removed."

The two of them were arguing quite fiercely, and the director and team leader both came to break it up. Before I left, I learned that the clerk had been transferred, and Liu Min was now mainly in charge of gold recycling.

I must say, the information Grey Pigeon provided was actually quite useful.

It must be said that Lu Qiaoge is quite lucky.

From the description of the gray pigeon, it's clear that Liu Min knows how to be flexible.

Lu Qiaoge felt that Liu Min's approach was correct.

Gold that can be exchanged for money at a bank has a legitimate source.

Otherwise, if you're caught red-handed, you won't get anything.

If you treat people like criminals, who would want to come here?
So, Lu Qiaoge had a new idea.

She rode her bicycle towards the bank and soon arrived at the main entrance. She parked her bicycle next to a big tree and told Grey Pigeon to wait for her at the window of the gold recycling counter so that she could notify her immediately if anything happened.

Lu Qiaoge knew in advance where the gold recycling counter was, so she went straight to the third floor.

Just like the finance office, this place is surrounded by iron railings.

The door was also a very sturdy iron door.

There were two counters, and behind the counters was a woman in her thirties with a round face and short, ear-length hair.

Seeing Lu Qiaoge, he was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and asked, "Young comrade, what brings you here?"

Most of the people who come here to sell gold are elderly.

Lu Qiaoge did not produce a letter of introduction, but politely said, "Comrade, I would like to inquire about the specific details of gold jewelry recycling."

Liu Min glanced at Lu Qiaoge and asked with a smile, "Do you have proof of ownership for your gold jewelry?"

The proof was in Lu Qiaoge's hands. After thinking for a moment, she didn't take it out to show Liu Min, and naturally, she didn't give Liu Min the letter of introduction either.

Instead, she spoke softly to Liu Min, saying, "My grandmother's bracelet was passed down from her great-great-great-grandmother. To preserve it, she smashed it flat. It was originally meant for me and my sisters. Really, no matter how hard life was, we never thought of using it to make money. But a few days ago, my grandmother got a radio, listened to it for a few days, and changed her mind. She plans to donate it to the country to support national development."

Lu Qiaoge gave a shy smile at the right moment.

But her eyes were sparkling, as if she was very proud of her grandmother's behavior.

There was no one else at the gold recycling counter at that time.

It was quiet here, and Liu Min listened attentively, nodding repeatedly in agreement: "Your grandma is a remarkable old lady."

Lu Qiaoge looked at Liu Min with some difficulty, clenched her hands, and said embarrassedly, "But the problem now is that my family had some difficulties a few years ago for various reasons. However, my parents both had jobs, so even if they borrowed money, they could pay it back the following month. My family often went out to borrow money and incurred debts, but after we all started working, we paid off all the debts. Now, my grandmother only has one concern: she's worried that if her old friends find out, they will definitely complain and blame her, saying things like, 'Since you have gold that can be recycled, why didn't you exchange it for money sooner instead of going to her house to borrow money,' and so on..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Min understood.

Seeing Lu Qiaoge's somewhat embarrassed expression, Liu Min's voice softened even more: "As long as you have proof of possessing gold jewelry, our recycling counter will absolutely not disclose any of the depositor's privacy."

After a pause, Liu Min continued with a smile, "Young comrade, think about it. This is a bank. Most people in Jiangcheng deposit their money here. We also have relatives, friends, and classmates. If they all gossiped about it everywhere, wouldn't that cause chaos? Besides, we also have confidentiality agreements."

Lu Qiaoge naturally knew this.

She was just setting the stage.

Lu Qiaoge looked relieved and smiled at Liu Min, saying, "Comrade, I understand now. There must be proof. I'll go back and tell my grandma this. But I want to ask, will you still be working here tomorrow?"

Liu Min nodded: "Yes, Xiao Li and I are in charge of this counter now. He went to the restroom and should be back soon."

Lu Qiaoge knew that the efficiency here was quite high, and the appraiser was a senior master craftsman. Xiaohui recognized him, saying that he used to be the manager of a gold shop and could tell the purity of gold just by holding it in his hand.

He was treated very well.

Now he's in the next office, leisurely reading the newspaper while holding a large teacup.

After leaving the bank, Lu Qiaoge did not go to the neighborhood office, but instead went to the food factory.

Qin Hengzhi didn't come in the afternoon; he went to the factory's production workshop because a batch of parts was leaving the factory that day and he needed to inspect them.

This involves new project number 01. So he'll probably be very busy these next few days.

However, Qin Hengzhi told Lu Qiaoge to call him if she needed anything.

Lu Qiaoge took a tour of the factory; everything was in good order, and the workers were full of energy.

It will only truly resemble a food factory once the new workers arrive in a few days.

When Zhou Li saw Lu Qiaoge approaching, she thought for a moment and then walked out of the workshop. She lowered her voice and said to Lu Qiaoge, "I didn't want to talk about this, but I only found out this morning that Lin Junfeng believed the rumors and sent people to your house to investigate your grandmother, and was even forced to apologize. So I wanted to tell you that he came to my house yesterday and told Chang An and me: 'You should remember to thank Lu Qiaoge. She is your great benefactor.' Qiaoge, I know what kind of girl you are. So I could tell that his words were a bit sarcastic."

Lu Qiaoge seemed to have expected this. She smiled and said, "Sister Zhou Li, I know. It's okay. I have nothing to do with him, so it's none of his business."

Zhou Li thought about it and realized that made sense.

He then returned to the workshop with peace of mind.

Lu Qiaoge took Meng Qingshan and Hu Ze to the grocery store again.

She took the two of them directly to the manager.

She wrote down the required ingredients on a piece of paper.

Manager Lin took a look and told Lu Qiaoge that some items were in stock while others were out of stock.

But these are not major problems; we can request assistance from the city government.

But it can only be done tomorrow.

Lu Qiaoge told Manager Lin that Meng Qingshan and Hu Ze should handle this matter tomorrow.

She's not coming.

Lu Qiaoge hoped that these people could take over the responsibility as soon as possible.

Now that Chang An and Fan Xiaoyu are in charge of the arts and crafts factory, she doesn't have to worry about it much.

Especially since Chang An decided not to go to Beidu, she was even more at ease.

The food factory is where the new instant noodles are produced, and she has to be in charge of that.

But buying a house to collect treasures is also important.

After finishing dinner, Lu Qiaoge went back to her bedroom and said to her younger brother, "Little Si, if you have any math problems you don't understand, go ask your third sister. I need to write a work summary, so don't bother me."

Lu Xiaosi readily agreed.

Lu Qiaoge's job is now the most important thing in the Lu family, so who would dare to disturb her!
Lu Qiaoge closed the door and took out the bag containing the gold bracelet...
