Chapter 710 A New Beginning After Having Too Much to Do?
Someone like Lu Qiaoge, you might be considered a big shot in Jiangcheng, even with the Qin family's background, but actually... there are plenty of people with backgrounds.
Upon arriving in Beidu, it truly felt like nothing.
Especially at the State Administration of Foreign Trade.
This isn't just talk; it's a real start-up.
This fresh start should be like Xiao Ma serving tea and water and cleaning, not like going to the coordination department to apply for a meeting room.
Even though you're just applying to deliver a message, it wouldn't be good if things didn't work out.
So what kind of definite answer did you give Sister Zhou?
Tell her there's no space in the meeting room, not even today?
So you would say this was handled with absolutely no skill?
It's likely that even Lu Qiaoge herself doesn't know the secret behind this.
In fact, people like Lu Qiaoge are in a dilemma.
If you're a complete novice, like Xiao Ma or Xiao Xia, it's normal for you to do whatever you want.
But before Lu Qiaoge came here, she was the factory manager of a large factory with nearly 10,000 employees, which is no ordinary level.
So I guess the higher-ups don't know how to deal with her either.
Honestly, Lu Qiaoge didn't need to come here.
Is starting over just because you're full and have nothing better to do?
Old Zhao sat there and shook his head regretfully.
Section Chief Wei originally intended to report to Director Lü, but then changed his mind.
Past achievements are past achievements.
The people here don't buy it.
Since she was already there, Lu Qiaoge had to learn to adapt.
Doesn't Lu Qiaoge know the secret behind this?
Of course she knew.
You don't even need to ask around to know how such a department operates.
But she didn't think too much about it; it was just like exploring a map.
The conference rooms are on the seventh floor, and there are more than a dozen halls of varying sizes.
The coordination department is also on this floor.
Currently, the volume of both export and import business is quite substantial.
The meeting room is always busy.
There are always departments using it.
Because there are specialized meeting facilities here, and most importantly, there is strong confidentiality and soundproof walls.
All departmental meetings are held here.
The building is eight stories high and has no elevator; you have to walk the whole way.
When Lu Qiaoge reached the fourth floor, she encountered a woman with gray hair carrying a stack of books as she climbed up.
Lu Qiaoge quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Comrade, which floor are you going to? I'm going to the seventh floor. If it's convenient, can I help you?"
I don't know who this person is, so calling him "comrade" is the best approach.
Director Chen squinted at the pretty young comrade. His face was unfamiliar, and he didn't know which department he was from, but he felt a sense of familiarity with him.
He didn't try to be brave.
The main problem is that she has arthritis in her legs, and it's rained twice in the past few days in Beijing. The temperature is a bit low, so her legs are a little sore.
So he handed all the books to Lu Qiaoge, took a breath and said, "Then I'll trouble you, young comrade. I'll go to the seventh floor too."
As Lu Qiaoge walked uphill, she smiled and said, "It's no trouble at all, just a quick thing, we happen to be going the same way."
Director Chen smiled and followed Lu Qiaoge slowly upstairs.
The two didn't continue chatting because there were many people coming and going at that time.
It must be that a meeting in some department has ended.
Director Chen said, "Just bring the book to the entrance of Hall 2, thank you."
Lu Qiaoge quickly said there was no need to be polite, then placed the book at the entrance of Hall Two, said goodbye to Director Chen, and turned to find her colleagues in the Coordination Department. In one office in the Coordination Department, people were arguing; it was an older woman and several young people.
Obviously, they all need to use meeting rooms.
Lu Qiaoge walked forward confidently, without filling out the application form, and simply put the note in her pocket.
Lu Qiaoge already had a good temperament, and as she walked around as if no one else was around, no one stopped her from leaving.
Of course, she couldn't possibly go into the meeting room.
After walking around, she found that three of them were empty.
Lu Qiaoge stood at the door of an office, using her exceptional eyesight to look at the schedule on the table.
The three meeting rooms are indeed vacant today.
Lu Qiaoge knocked on the door and entered the third group of the coordination department. A middle-aged man looked up and asked, "Which department are you from?"
"I'm Jin, the team leader from the Fifth Foreign Trade Division. This is a note from our Deputy Section Chief Zhou. We're requesting to use a small meeting room. Please approve it."
Unexpectedly, Team Leader Jin didn't even glance at the note and said directly, "There are no available meeting rooms today."
Lu Qiaoge didn't even flinch before saying, "I've already checked. There are three meeting rooms that don't have any meetings scheduled today. We don't need the large meeting room, so the smallest one will suffice. Please approve, Team Leader Jin."
Team Leader Jin stared wide-eyed at Lu Qiaoge.
Is this young woman unable to understand human speech or something? She looks quite pretty, is she an idiot?
"Didn't you understand what I meant? I said there are no meeting rooms available today. If you want to use one, bring a note and come find me tomorrow."
Lu Qiaoge remained calm and polite, still smiling as before: "Team Leader Jin, Meeting Room 9 is currently empty, and we have no meetings scheduled for today. We would like to request to use Meeting Room 9. We hope Team Leader Jin will approve our request."
Team Leader Jin frowned as he looked at Lu Qiaoge.
Something felt off.
Just as he was about to speak, Lu Qiaoge smiled and repeated what she had just said.
It can be said that it is exactly the same word for word.
Lu Qiaoge was just that straightforward, but Team Leader Jin overthought things.
Why is this young woman so certain?
Also, why is she so assertive, as if she has a powerful figure backing her up?
Lu Qiaoge had no idea that Team Leader Jin was thinking so much. If she had known, she could only have told him: You're really overthinking things.
It's a very simple matter. The meeting room is a public space, not your coordination department's personal property. It's not needed. As long as the request is reasonable, just open the door quickly. What are you dawdling about?
"Team Leader Jin, I know you wouldn't make up something out of thin air, like the meeting room is going to be used by someone or it's too confidential for me to ask."
You must understand, the truth cannot be hidden, and falsehood cannot be made true. Fabricating something out of thin air is a violation of our work regulations.
Team Leader Jin's heart skipped a beat.
It was really unexpected.
The main reason was that it was the first time he had ever met a female comrade who spoke so rudely.
Her pronunciation is clear and her Mandarin is excellent. She has a pleasant voice and is very beautiful. Who is this?
However, he didn't dare to meet Lu Qiaoge's eyes.
Because he felt guilty.
So I had to say, "Bring me your slip of paper. Here, this is the application form. Please fill it out."
Lu Qiaoge handed him the note and then quickly filled out the application form.
There were two other female colleagues in the office, and they looked at each other in bewilderment.
Did the team leader just approve the meeting room allocation so easily?
Who is this young woman?
The face is very unfamiliar.
Holding the application form, Team Leader Jin narrowed his eyes: "Lu Qiaoge?"
Lu Qiaoge smiled and nodded: "That's right, it's me, my name is Lu Qiaoge."
Team Leader Jin felt that the name seemed somewhat familiar.
But I can't remember where I heard it.
