Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 387 The higher-ups have other arrangements for Xiao Lu

Meanwhile, in the factory's conference room...

Qin Hengzhi glanced in the direction of Red Star Lake, where he could seemingly see the deep, soon-to-freeze lake water in the distance.

His deep gaze then fell upon the two managers of the fishing company sitting opposite him.

He investigated Deputy Manager Yan and found nothing unusual about him, whether in his family, work, words, or social relationships.

Either he really is after the fishing company, or he's just too good at disguising himself.

Qin Hengzhi's voice was not loud, and his pace was neither fast nor slow. "Manager Kong, Deputy Manager Yan, as you know, Hongxing Lake is not an ordinary fishing ground. Its geographical location is special, and there have been incidents of steel ingots being lost and hidden treasures being discovered. Also, you two know that a certain area once buried national treasures, right?"

Manager Kong smiled at Qin Hengzhi: "Commander Qin, I understand what you mean. Hongxing Lake is indeed very special, and I've heard a little about what you just said. But the problem now is that the workers need welfare, we need supplies for the end of the year, and the company needs revenue. The pressure on our fishing company... is not small either. We guarantee that we will strictly follow the areas and fishing specifications you have designated, and ensure compliance with the regulations."

Due to the steel ingot and national treasure incident, the security of Hongxing Lake is now the responsibility of the military representative office and the security department.

The big pike and the old turtle mainly roam the center of the lake. Last night, Lu Qiaoge and Qin Hengzhi suggested that they try designating a special area and see their reaction.

Factory Director Hao said, "In that case, let's discuss a set of rules and define the scope, and as Manager Kong promised, strictly follow the regulations."

The two managers nodded immediately, especially Deputy Manager Yan, who was beaming with joy.

Looking at it this way, it's clear that he's truly devoted himself to his work.

He always puts the interests of his unit and the people first.

Qin Hengzhi said, "Actually, there is a regulation from above that large-scale mass activities are not suitable within a certain radius. This is also for the safety of 516. Manager Kong, as long as you guarantee that no one with ulterior motives takes advantage of the situation and covets military enterprises, we will naturally have no problem."

That was a bit serious. Manager Kong and Deputy Manager Yan exchanged a glance, and Deputy Manager Yan even had beads of sweat on his forehead.

The weight of that label has been placed on me, and I really don't dare to have any other thoughts.

When Deputy Manager Yan recalled what his grandfather had said, he became uncertain. Two months ago, Hongxing Lake was sealed off, and a lot of things were pulled out. He had only found out about it indirectly, and he felt that the location was wrong. But the question was, was the information he received really the most accurate?
What was salvaged from here back then has never been made public. Perhaps the gold that Grandpa mentioned was also salvaged?

Deputy Manager Yan was unwilling to give up and decided to give it a try.

Now that the location is confirmed, he can come quietly by himself next summer.

Thinking about it this way, Deputy Manager Yan felt relieved. Anyway, the lake water was cold now, so even if he knew the location of the gold, no one could go into the water to retrieve it.

He nodded to Manager Kong, then said with a smile, "Our employees have all been vetted and will absolutely follow the regulations. In addition, I will personally lead the team to supervise the work."

Factory Director Hao sent Section Chief Jia and the head of the Resource Management Section to Hongxing Lake together.

Qin Hengzhi stood at the bow of the boat, estimating that he was some distance from the center of the lake—just within sight of it, but not close enough for the fishing company to approach.

He also wanted to see how anxious and restless Deputy Manager Yan would be in the face of this distance.

Qin Hengzhi stared silently at the distant lake, then calmly looked away.

He guessed that the big turtle was one of them, and there should be several other large fish at the bottom of the lake. What kind of fish could they be? They could be pike, right?
The big pike were all gathered at the bottom of the lake. In the past, I would have been worried, but now I don't care at all.

Last night, the little master sent Xiao Cangcang to inform them.

It's not summer now. Although it hasn't snowed yet, it's practically winter, and the lake water is icy cold. Humans wouldn't dare go in, so they're all safe for now. As for whether there's a third batch of treasures in Red Star Lake, only they know for sure.

Not at all!
This place is neither a major transportation hub like in ancient times, nor a bustling metropolis like those in the south.

However, because there are several gold mines here, including large gold mines that were developed in the early years, there is a lot of gold here, especially the kind of small, lump gold.

The old gold mine here has now been mined.

Although the output is low, it is much better than some small gold mines.

The little creatures understood Deputy Manager Yan's persistence; what they disliked, humans coveted.

But it's no use no matter how much you like it.

They all belong to the little master.

The big pike led the old turtle, grass carp, and common carp toward the deeper part of the lake.
-
Aunt Feng is at the neighborhood office. She knew about the phone call yesterday and came over early this morning to ask about the progress.

She felt uneasy, but didn't want to think about the bad things.

Old Hu told her that if he had any news, he should inform her immediately.

Aunt Feng was still a little uneasy and asked Lao Hu, "What if... I mean, what if they all come back and I haven't taken over the job yet? What will I do then?"

Remembering Lu Qiaoge's instructions, Lao Hu said, "You really should come back happy. Isn't Xiangyang Food Factory recruiting? We can give them two positions."

Old Feng was stunned.

She knew, of course, that the food factory was hiring, and quite a few people were being recruited, but even with so many people, there were just too many applicants.

But these were Old Hu's words, not someone else's. Old Feng was so moved that tears streamed down his face, and he kept saying thank you. Old Hu waved his hand and said, "This was Comrade Lu Qiaoge's idea. After you contacted her that day, she took it to heart. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made this call so rashly..."

Old Feng nodded repeatedly: "I went there specifically for her, but I never expected that this girl would always keep the affairs of people like us who are not in good situations in mind."

By the end, his voice was choked with emotion.

Old Hu nodded and said earnestly, "Our cadres must keep the suffering of the masses in mind."

After Lao Feng left, Director Hu originally intended to call Factory Director Hao to discuss arrangements for Lu Qiaoge. However, after thinking about it, he went directly to the factory headquarters instead.

Old Hao had just hung up the phone and said to him, "Old Hu, I was just about to come find you. Sit down and have some water."

Old Hu took a sip of water and said, "The work at the food factory is of utmost importance. If we follow the procedure, Xiao Lu won't be eligible to be transferred to the food factory as the factory director until next year. Old Hao, can't we make an exception for this?"

Factory Director Hao: "I just hung up the phone. To be honest, the higher-ups have other plans for Xiao Lu. Since that's the case, let's follow the normal procedures to avoid affecting Lu Qiaoge's future."

Old Hu's heart tightened. If he were really transferred, he would lose a key general.

Moreover, with such a large operation, although it's not to say that the world would still turn without Lu Qiaoge, Xiangyang Food Factory really can't function without her.
