Chapter 388 State Administration of Foreign Trade
Old Hu hurriedly asked, "What's the arrangement? Can you tell me about it?"

Factory Director Hao: "You can say it, but you can't tell Qiao Ge. We're still in the testing phase."

Old Hu nodded: "I won't say."

Factory Director Hao: "You know the State Administration of Foreign Trade, right? The former director of the administration specifically requested Qiao Ge. He said that since we're going to make an exception, we should make an exception for him. If he passes the evaluation, Qiao Ge will be transferred directly."

Old Hu's heart was pounding.

State Administration of Foreign Trade?

If Qiao Ge were to be transferred there, she would be promoted several ranks.

But what about here?
Old Hu wasn't selfish and didn't consider whether Lu Qiaoge, who was promoted exceptionally, would be ostracized by the people at the State Administration of Foreign Trade, such as being unable to carry out her work, being bullied and jealous by her colleagues, or having a better working environment than here.

After all, very few people were transferred there from other places; they were mostly locals from Beidu.

Lao Hu had almost no worries about this.

This is because Lu Qiaoge is not only highly capable, but also because Qin Heng's family is from Beidu.

We don't bully others by relying on our power, but others should think twice before trying to bully us.

What Lao Hu is worried about now is what to do about the food factory in Xiangyang Subdistrict that is about to become a large state-owned factory, and the arts and crafts factory that already has a medium-sized scale.
"Logically speaking, this is a good thing, a great thing. When Qin Tuan is transferred back, the two of them won't have the trouble of being separated."

But our food factory is about to expand. We really can't do without her right now.

Even though Qiao Ge was just an acting factory manager, both other factory managers listened to her, and the entire factory was very united.

Not to mention she's taken on so many orders now; if she's transferred, who do you think can take her place?

Factory Director Hao said with a smile, "Look how scared you are. Do you think that old bureau chief is an ordinary person? If you can think of something, do you think he can't?"

Old Hu glared at him: "Old Hao, do you have to talk like that? I've noticed that your glib and pretentious manner has become quite exaggerated over the years."

Factory Director Hao laughed heartily: "Don't worry, Qiao Ge won't leave Xiangyang Food Factory now, but the old director is right. People like Qiao Ge are generals who are good at expanding territory, it would be a pity to keep him in one place."

Old Hu laughed too. Yes, he was a little anxious. Even if he were to be transferred, it wouldn't be now. Not to mention others, Lu Qiaoge herself wouldn't agree.

But he still emphasized: "It's not easy to be stationed in one place, and it's remarkable if you can do it well."

Factory Director Hao nodded: "What you said is not wrong, but if Qiao Ge really gets transferred to the State Administration of Foreign Trade, we should all feel honored."
-
Lu Qiaoge was completely unaware of the conversation between Factory Director Hao and Old Hu.

At this moment, the hardworking Xiao Cangcang is telling her about what happened in Daguxi Village.

Yesterday morning, Lao Hu made a phone call to the commune. After the call, the deputy commune leader arranged for a clerk to go to Daguxi Village.

The clerk wasn't too happy, mainly because the mountain roads had been muddy and difficult to travel these past few days, but he had no choice but to go.

If the important matter of succession is delayed, Fan Tianbao will hate him to death.

It took the clerk more than four hours to reach Daguxi Village.

I also saw Fan Tianbao.

Xiao Cangcang: [Fan Tianbao was not happy at all. He immediately accused the clerk of lying, saying that such a thing was impossible and that the clerk had nothing better to do than be bored.]

The clerk initially didn't want to see Zhang Huixin, but Fan Tianbao's suggestion displeased him. He immediately told the village chief that the caller was a leader from the military factory, and whether it was true or not, Zhang Huixin could simply call and ask. He then asked where Zhang Huixin was, saying he wanted to see her and discuss the matter with her in person.

Before Fan Tianbao could speak, that gossipy old woman said that Zhang Huixin had been locked up. Lu Qiaoge frowned and asked, "Has the clerk seen Zhang Huixin?"

No, the village chief intervened and said it was a good thing, but the Fan family needed to discuss it. The clerk probably sensed something was wrong and said, "The message has already been delivered, what does it have to do with me whether I go or not?"

After the clerk left, Fan Tianbao went home and secretly told his mother about it. The old lady said, "Don't worry. Anyway, we've already brought the wife in. Whether she lives or dies is up to us. Let Zhang Huixin give birth to our son first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

[By the way, Fan Tianbao also told the clerk that if they called again, they should say that they weren't home and had gone to visit relatives in the mountains.]

It seems that Zhang Huixin won't be able to leave the mountains alive without giving birth to a son.

Meanwhile, the clerk, full of resentment, reported yesterday's events to the deputy head of the commune. He didn't get home until after 8 p.m., covered in mud and water. The brigade headquarters had provided him with lunch, but no one was taking care of dinner, so he was still hungry when he got home.

It's a thankless task.

If this happened in someone else's home, they would be overjoyed to invite him over as an honored guest!

The vice president asked, "Didn't you see Zhang Huixin?"

The clerk hesitated for a moment and said, "I didn't see it, but an old woman said she was locked up by Fan Tianbao."

The vice president's eyes widened: "Really?"

Clerk: "Fan Tianbao's family lives on a hillside. There is only one path down the mountain, and you have to pass through a notorious snake den. It's no different from being locked up."

Vice President: "How can this be the same? What if 516 calls again? What are we supposed to say? We asked you to handle this..."

The clerk was unhappy about being complained about, but didn't dare to refute the vice president's words.

I thought to myself, maybe the other person was just asking.

The deputy director didn't really take it seriously. Over the years, quite a few educated youth had been sent to the countryside, and now they've all returned to the city one after another.

They focused on Haicheng and Beidu, places that should generally not be offended. As for Jiangcheng, they considered it to be on the frontier and incomparable to Beidu and Haicheng, so they didn't pay it much attention.

But Jiangcheng also has 516.

It's too much trouble to go to Daguxi Village. The deputy head glared at the clerk and said, "You should talk to Zhang Huixin herself about whether she's going back or not. If she calls again, we'll have something to say."

The clerk rolled her eyes and said, "Then say Zhang Huixin disagrees."

"You can say it's useful, but what if they insist on calling Zhang Huixin?"

The clerk thought of Fan Tianbao and muttered under his breath, "Fan Tianbao is a useless idiot. His son is important, and his job is important too. Why doesn't he get the job and become a formal employee? That's a secure job for life."

Just then, Lao Hu called.

Old Hu asked with a smile, "I'm sorry to bother you again. I wanted to ask if you've inquired with Zhang Huixin yet. If she agrees, please expedite the procedures."

The vice president hurriedly smiled and said, "We haven't... gone yet. There's been heavy rain these past few days, and the mountain roads are difficult to travel. We'll go when the weather clears up."

Old Hu said directly, "Then I'll trouble you. When you come to Jiangcheng again, I'll treat you to drinks."

After exchanging pleasantries, they both hung up the phone.

Lu Qiaoge, who was standing nearby, said directly, "I think the clerk actually went there, but Fan Tianbao disagreed. Let's not speculate. I'll go to Guangcheng and take care of some personal business while I'm at it."
