Chapter 797 Before and After Falling into the Water
However, this is both a test and an excellent opportunity.

If things go smoothly this time, the State Administration of Foreign Trade will definitely receive a notification. Then, I can take this proposal to Director Bai, and the matter of the wool sweater factory will basically be settled.

However, when Lu Qiaoge noticed a slight change in the other person's expression, she immediately adjusted her own demeanor as well.

Her gaze shifted to Sister Lu, revealing a subtle hint of unease, which then slowly dissipated, replaced by confusion and bewilderment.

This change in expression was something Lu Qiaoge herself had crafted.

As long as she temporarily sets aside her identity as a time traveler and fully immerses herself in her current role, there will be no flaws.

This scene was witnessed by a young man standing nearby.

Although there was no special equipment on site, Lu Qiaoge judged that they must have some advanced recording tools, such as a pen or other inconspicuous objects.

Each person had a notebook in front of them and a pen in their hand.

Sister Lu, sitting in the middle, said, "Little Lu, may I call you that now?"

Lu Qiaoge nodded: "Sure, you are in the conference room of Beidu University right now, and I am a student, so you can certainly address me that way."

Sister Lu smiled and said, "No need for such formalities, you're too kind."

She spoke in a gentle tone, but her eyes were fixed on Lu Qiaoge, as if trying to see through her expression to understand her innermost thoughts.

Lu Qiaoge met her gaze without flinching or avoiding it, just like an ordinary girl in her early twenties, with a touch of frankness, and couldn't help but ask, "I don't know what the three of you want to know from me?"

Sister Lu said, "You don't need to be nervous or worried. Principal Ge also said that we're just having a small discussion, or even a heart-to-heart talk, just chatting casually."

Lu Qiaoge nodded, a hint of doubt on her face, but still said, "Alright then."

As her anxiety gradually subsided, she regained her previous composure and open-mindedness.

She knew in her heart that she would inevitably have to go through a psychological turning point, but in any case, she was not an ordinary student.

She now holds multiple identities and is considered worldly-wise among her peers; her pettiness only makes people more suspicious.

Lu Qiaoge didn't feel embarrassed; she just thought... well, it was quite fun. She just wondered what these people would think if they knew what she was thinking.

Sister Lu nodded secretly and continued, "We have reviewed your file. It can be said that your resume is completely transparent to us. We have a certain understanding of you, but there are still many things that make the organization suspicious."

We discovered that the turning point in your life occurred after you fell into the water. Before that, you were actually a very ordinary girl who liked a boy named Liang Aishu, and between you and Shen Yun, who was more outstanding than you at the time. The three of you had a good relationship and often went out together.

Lu Qiaoge's expression was slightly wistful, as if she were recalling those simple yet joyful days. The male comrade next to her had been observing her expression.

They had already secretly investigated Liang Aishu and Shen Yun, but had not touched the Lu family's internal affairs... because that involved Qin Hengzhi.

The discovery of enemy agents at the secret base necessitates a comprehensive investigation of all personnel, which is the responsibility of another task force.

At this point, Sister Lu paused slightly.

Lu Qiaoge continued, "Although time has passed, it's still not a pleasant thing to bring it up every time. But since it's been mentioned, you must have a question for me. What is it?"

Sister Lu looked at her and thought to herself: So far, all the reactions are normal and there is nothing abnormal.

She said directly, "Then let's not beat around the bush. Xiao Lu, before this, your performance could be described as mediocre, but after falling into the water, you suddenly stood out, passed the exam for the street office, and became a mediator. When we sorted out the data, we found that you were exceptionally good at information. Some information seemed to be readily available, as if you held a huge intelligence network in your hands. No matter what information you needed, you could get it at your fingertips."

Lu Qiaoge's expression remained unchanged, but she secretly sighed: There are indeed quite a few smart people.

Of course, this is also because she is so outstanding. If she had remained ordinary and quietly lived her life, probably no one would have noticed her.

Who could have imagined it would come to this?
She looked at Sister Lu with a puzzled expression: "Since I became a mediator, I have participated in or directly handled quite a few disputes, some big and some small. Which one do you want to know about?"

Sister Lu said, "I want to ask, when you resolved Duan Xiaoxiang's matter, you mentioned that a friend saw a telegram sent by Duan Xiaoxiang in Sun Qin's name at the post office, asking Uncle Sun to find a partner for Sun Qin. At the time, Duan Xiaoxiang was being unreasonable, and this message completely reversed the stalemate. We checked the records at the time, and it only said 'a friend.' Now I want to ask, Xiao Lu, who exactly is this friend?"

Lu Qiaoge blinked, as if trying hard to recall, but this "recollection" only lasted for a dozen seconds before she answered frankly, "Actually, I didn't have any friends. I only knew it myself. At that time, I hadn't officially become a staff member of the street office yet, and I wasn't even sure if I could pass the exam. I really needed a job."

To solve Duan Xiaoxiang's problem, I need to understand them better. Once Sun Qin's difficulties are resolved, she'll have no reason to cause trouble. But Duan Xiaoxiang is similar to Shen Yun in some ways… how to put it? It's that kind of mentality: the person you like actually likes me, she always feels superior and accomplished in front of me, thinking I'm definitely inferior to her in every way. If she's better than me in every way, how could the person she likes choose me? I really can't figure out what she'll do, so I'm paying extra attention to her.”

As Lu Qiaoge spoke, the three people opposite her listened attentively, their pens scratching across their notebooks as they quickly took notes.

She continued, "The post office of the 516 military factory was not far from the department store. It was usually very busy, with people sending telegrams, making remittances, withdrawing money, and mailing things. That day was no different. When I went in, I joined the queue. There were about a dozen people ahead of Duan Xiaoxiang. That woman was getting impatient and was thinking about cutting in line, but she was stopped by a retired worker in his sixties."

At this point, Lu Qiaoge paused, then smiled somewhat embarrassedly: "Now that I've said this, you might be starting to have doubts again, right? So much time has passed, how can you, Lu Qiaoge, remember it so clearly?"

Looking at Lu Qiaoge, based on her years of work experience, Sister Lu noticed something: this girl could easily control the pace of the conversation.

But this was not included in their investigation.

This is a matter of individual ability.
