Chapter 708: A great deal of discussion
Lu Qiaoge then sat down in the chair and handed her documents to Section Chief Wei: "This is my letter of introduction, transfer order, and my household registration book..."
Without a doubt, Section Chief Wei is the most powerful person in this large office.
It's normal to show him these things.
There's no need to wait for Director Lü to arrive before taking it out.
Section Chief Wei, having already reached the position of section chief, naturally knew that a new cadre named Lu Qiaoge had been transferred to the department. She was a freshman at Beidu University and also the daughter-in-law of the Qin family.
But none of that seems important. What is important is that she is the founder of Xiangyang brand instant noodles, and it is through Xiangyang brand instant noodles that she has obtained a large number of orders.
To be honest, in the initial stages, the State Administration of Foreign Trade contributed almost nothing.
The State Administration of Foreign Trade only got involved after others had already achieved results, but their work was also very important. Imported wheat flour and palm oil can be important raw materials for instant noodles.
However, Section Chief Wei thought that Lu Qiaoge wanted Director Lü to take her to report for duty.
I didn't expect Lu Qiaoge to be so straightforward and generous.
So Section Chief Wei said with a smile, "I've just finished what I was doing, I'll take you to report for duty."
Lu Qiaoge immediately said, "Thank you so much, Section Chief Wei."
"You're welcome, you're welcome, it's nothing."
After the two people left, the remaining people in the large office looked at each other and then began to whisper among themselves.
"So she's Lu Qiaoge. She's so young, but she's quite pretty too," said an older woman.
"Wasn't Lu Qiaoge supposed to be going to university? How come she's still working?"
Of course, some people also said sarcastically, "Who knows what the higher-ups are thinking? Maybe they brought in a capable person because they see we haven't achieved anything lately."
"You can't say that. Why not keep a talent like Lu Qiaoge as soon as possible? She got the top score in the whole province. That score is also the best in our Beidu. Which unit wouldn't be fighting to hire her after graduation? She could even become a diplomat."
"Does anyone think they can be a diplomat? You're being far too casual with your statement."
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. It wouldn't be good if people heard us when we got back. From now on, we'll be working together."
In any case, more people mean more strength, and many hands make light work. Besides, Comrade Lu is very experienced. Although she comes from the grassroots level, we should all humbly learn from her.
"So, will she be working in our department from now on?"
"You don't know this, do you? It seems they haven't assigned her a specific position yet. They said they'd give her a six-month trial period, and if she doesn't perform well, they'll send her back to her original unit."
"Then she'll have to work hard. It would be so embarrassing if she were sent back to her original unit. But these days, it's getting harder and harder to do foreign trade exports."
"Yes, all the provinces and cities are racing to achieve similar results, so it's going to be very difficult for us to make any progress."
"No matter what, we are the General Administration, and we will prioritize exports."
"Don't have this sense of superiority. Right now, the biggest foreign exchange earners are brands like Xiangyang instant noodles. What does that have to do with us?"
"To be honest, Comrade Xiao Lu is quite capable. I really look forward to seeing how she performs when she starts working."
"If she's not given a specific role, how can she perform?"
Xiao Cangcang relayed all these discussions and gossips to Lu Qiaoge without missing a single word.
These days, Xiao Cangcang is like a tape recorder.
Lu Qiaoge said to Xiao Cangcang in her heart, "I'm fine here, you don't need to keep an eye on things. It's just a regular report, to get familiar with the work environment. Go check on Xiaohui and the two rats, Dashu Er." Xiao Cangcang flew away happily.
Even in the northern capital, they still have a home.
Moreover, this home is very free; it's Qin Hengzhi's house, and it's empty because no one lives there.
They used to wander around there when they came to Beidu to play.
Because they felt that Qin Hengzhi's things belonged to their young master, they treated this place as their home in Beidu.
This time, they're coming to stay permanently. Of course, the Beidajie residential compound where the Qin family lives is also their home.
After Xiao Cangcang left, Lu Qiaoge continued to follow Section Chief Wei to complete the registration procedures.
Some departments, upon seeing that the person in the report was Lu Qiaoge, couldn't help but curiously scrutinize her from head to toe.
Lu Qiaoge wasn't shy at all, allowing people to look her over openly and chatting with them casually. She only exchanged a few words with one person who affectionately called her Sister Dong, and another who affectionately called her Qiaoge.
Section Chief Wei felt that Lu Qiaoge was indeed worthy of working as a mediator at the grassroots level; she was so approachable and easily became friends with people.
Originally, Lu Qiaoge wanted to handle the remaining procedures herself. After all, some departments had to go to the office building to the north to complete the procedures. Section Chief Wei was not young, and it would be tiring for him to run around. Besides, he had his own things to do, and Lu Qiaoge did not want to take up too much of his time.
But actually, Lao Wei didn't intend to take people all the way to the end. He originally wanted Gu Jiayan to take Lu Qiaoge to report.
However, Lu Qiaoge was very good at speaking, which surprised Section Chief Wei.
Furthermore, since he had taken on the task, he wanted to see it through to the end, so that if anything went wrong, he would also be blamed.
For various reasons, Section Chief Wei did not leave and stayed with Lu Qiaoge to handle these procedures.
I registered and arrived smoothly.
Lu Qiaoge said sincerely, "Thank you, Section Chief Wei. It's so good to have you leading the way. Otherwise, I don't know how many detours I would have had to take to get this done."
Section Chief Wei chuckled and said, "From now on, we'll be colleagues working together. No need for all this thanking and politeness. Let's go back to the Fifth Division."
Gu Jiayan, who had returned long ago, saw Section Chief Wei and Lu Qiaoge walking in together with smiles on their faces.
It seems unexpected, yet it also makes perfect sense.
At this moment, Director Lü returned. He knew that Lu Qiaoge had completed all the procedures under the guidance of Section Chief Wei. Director Lü was very happy, but there was still a trace of apology in his eyes.
Lu Qiaoge glanced at Director Lü. What happened?
Director Lü then explained to Lu Qiaoge, "It's like this. We haven't assigned you a specific position yet, since you're still in school. If we did, it might cause some inconvenience for the other colleagues in the team..."
At this point, Director Lü glanced at Lu Qiaoge.
Lu Qiaoge nodded: "I understand, and then what?"
Director Lü knew Lu Qiaoge's way of speaking and doing things, so he told her that there was a six-month probationary period, and if she did not meet the requirements, she would be returned to her original unit.
In other words, Lu Qiaoge came here without any resources, because she didn't have a specific position, so she naturally couldn't do targeted work in that position.
But she still needs to produce results within six months.
After thinking for a moment, Director Lü said in a low voice, "Qiao Ge, when this decision was made, I wanted to refuse it on your behalf, because it was a bit difficult."
But then I thought, it's not really about the job title; it's more about how you carry out the work. The higher-ups promised that as long as you get things going, they'll give you full support!
