Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 365 Feeling confident
Naturally, Lu Qiaoge also knew that the two of them were taking the train to Jiangcheng at noon today to visit her second aunt, Lu Yun.

They really have nothing to fear.

Lu Qiaoge smiled coldly, confident that no one could do anything to them.

Is it because they think their second aunt can't remember anything?
Haha, Aunt Lu Yu and Aunt Cao Jing, perhaps you will regret this trip to Jiangcheng.

Lu Qiaoge hung up the phone. According to the train's arrival time, she would arrive in Jiangcheng by tomorrow evening.

However, trains are rarely on time these days, but I should arrive before 9 p.m. tomorrow.

Lu Qiaoge tidied up the work summary and report materials on the table and went to the conference room. Deputy Director Hu Huang followed her in.

Before the big meeting, the two planned to have a small meeting with Lu Qiaoge first, since Lu Qiaoge was leading the team from Xiangyang Food Factory this time.

The two of them were actually most concerned about the current production issue.

Lu Qiaoge told the two leaders about her plans.

"We're applying to transfer the old department store next door to our food factory, and to break down the wall in the middle. If we can concentrate our efforts and complete the new factory before the snowfall, we'll also need to start recruiting. Although the contract stipulated phased delivery, I anticipate that they will keep urging us, so we need to try our best not to delay things."

That's for sure.

"That's what you call leadership—their vision is truly different," Old Hu slapped the table and said with a smile, "Qiao Ge, you and we are on the same page. A couple of days ago, we set our sights on the old department store next door. It has front and back yards and warehouses. If we give it all to our food factory, it would be more than enough."

The most favorable condition at present is that as long as the food factory makes a request, and it is not too outrageous, the higher-ups can agree to it.

Besides, as I said, Lu Qiaoge wouldn't make any excessive demands.

It's all for work, for orders, and for generating more foreign exchange.

As for the recruitment problem, that's even easier to solve; there are plenty of unemployed young people now.

Site workers are not a problem.

The three of them briefly discussed the recruitment conditions. Lu Qiaoge suggested that Lu Qiaoling be in charge of the recruitment work, and Lao Hu and Deputy Director Huang agreed without hesitation.

Lu Qiaoling now works in an office, and her responsibilities cover a wide range of tasks.

She has many things to worry about, both inside and outside the company, but despite her young age, she is very organized and efficient.

Moreover, because she is Lu Qiaoge's sister, she was not allowed to attend this trade fair.

It's important to know that there are differences between going this year and going next year.

The two directors felt very guilty.

Lu Qiaoge added, "However, we still need the two leaders to take the lead, since this recruitment is very important, and the quality of the workers will determine when we can complete the order."

Old Hu told Lu Qiaoge to rest assured that there wouldn't be any major problems with the workers. He suggested setting up a recruitment team first, and that everything should be done in accordance with the rules and regulations.

At this point, although Lao Hu had full confidence in Lu Qiaoge, he still asked with some concern: "When you go to Guangcheng this time, you should be able to experience the differences between the food in the north and south. What we think is delicious, the other side thinks is unpalatable. Southerners think it is incredibly fragrant, but we northerners will not touch it. Qiaoge, if that's the case, don't worry. Actually, you can sell it domestically. The Jiangbei market is just as good."

Lu Qiaoge didn't make any grand promises about everything. Instead, she nodded in agreement with Lao Hu and said sincerely, "Director Hu, you're right. The reason I didn't have these plans before going to the trade fair was because I had this concern as well."

Deputy Director Huang: "Even if there are no further orders, these will be enough to keep our food factory busy for a year."

Old Hu didn't dwell on it any longer.

He dares to say that this new product is 99.9% popular in the north.

So even if we can no longer sell to external customers, it's the same internally. The Jiangbei area also represents a huge sales group.

As for the workers recruited, since Qiao Ge wants this number, there will be arrangements later, so he doesn't need to get involved and worry about everything.

When the small meeting ended, Lu Yun came up in conversation.

Deputy Director Huang: "Qiao Ge, you need to personally handle the temporary residence permit for your second aunt."

Old Hu wanted to say something, but felt that he had nothing to say about the suspect.

After all, Lu Yun has amnesia, and the exact events of that year are still under investigation.

But she still said, "Qiao Ge, don't worry. After all these years, it's definitely not easy to find out the truth, but as long as we investigate, the truth will eventually come out."

Lu Qiaoge nodded. Yes, the truth will definitely come out one day.

Old Hu then said to Lu Qiaoge, "If it is confirmed that your second aunt is Lu Yun, then she will receive the benefits and subsidies she is entitled to over the years. As for arranging a job, it will depend on her own opinion."

Old Huang nodded: "That's right. As long as the truth is found out and you regain your identity, you will naturally receive other compensation."

After exchanging a few more words, Lao Hu and Lao Huang went to run errands for the old department store next door and to secure recruitment quotas, while Lu Qiaoge went to the main office to organize the work she had been neglecting recently.

At lunchtime, Lu Qiaoge handed the completed temporary residence permit to her second aunt.

Then they started talking about Cao Jing and Lu Yu.

“They’ve already boarded the train and will arrive tomorrow evening. Second Aunt, let me ask what you think first. If you want to see them, we can arrange a time and place to meet. If you don’t want to see them, I won’t let them leave.”

Lu Yun put down her nephew's elementary school textbook, took the residence permit, glanced at it, and placed it on the kang table. She said gently, "Let's meet him."

Lu Qiaoge said, "Okay, I'll go with you, Auntie."

Grandma Lu smiled and said, "I feel relieved to have Qiao Ge with me."

Cao Jing, Lu Yu...

Lu Yun carefully pondered the names of the two people, then frowned, her mind blank, unable to recall anything at all.
-
In the afternoon, Lu Qiaoge went to a meeting in the city. At the trade fair, she also helped several local companies secure several orders and received a reward of more than 3,000 yuan.

There were also orders for straw-woven handicrafts, some of which were distributed to Jiangcheng Handicraft Factory.

Straw weaving handicrafts have now increased farmers' income.

It can be said to serve multiple purposes.

Lu Qiaoge didn't expect the reward to be given out so quickly.

Without a doubt, it was Director Zhou who strongly advocated for it.

So Lu Qiaoge privately told Director Zhou, "If our Xiangyang brand instant noodles can capture the market in the future, I am prepared to cooperate with Director Zhou and you to set up a branch factory."

Director Zhou's eyes widened in surprise.

"That's wonderful! Don't worry, Qiao Ge. As long as you plan to build a branch factory, you don't need to worry about the site, funding, or personnel. Of course, we don't have the machinery and equipment. What should we do about that?"

Make bricks without straw.

Equipment and technology are indispensable; factors such as workers and site are secondary.
