Chapter 711 is done?
Old Zhao was right. When Lu Qiaoge arrived at the Beidu Foreign Trade Bureau, it was like a drop of water falling on the surface of a body of water, without making a splash.
But does Lu Qiaoge care about these things?
No, she didn't care.
Lu Qiaoge went downstairs and quickly arrived at the large office of the Fifth Division.
It only takes about ten minutes to go back and forth.
When the people in the large office saw Lu Qiaoge return, they all looked at her face—mainly wanting to see if Lu Qiaoge had been made difficult, or if this woman had been unable to bear it and had secretly cried.
Huh?
With her beautiful face and sparkling eyes, she was a sight to behold.
This doesn't look like someone who's been put in a difficult position.
Some people had a dark thought: Could it be that Team Leader Jin let Lu Qiaoge off the hook because she was pretty?
Is that really the case?
Even Section Chief Wei was worried; if this were the case, it wouldn't be a good sign for Comrade Lu.
This is the most taboo thing to do here.
But I doubt Team Leader Kim would do that.
Aside from his tendency to abuse his power, that person's conduct was otherwise fine.
There are pretty girls, of course.
We can't just give Lu Qiaoge the green light all the way just because we see her.
Before anyone could speak, Section Chief Wei quickly asked, "Did you give the note to the coordination department? What did they say?"
Lu Qiaoge placed the stamped application form on Sister Zhou's desk and said with a smile, "She didn't say much, just approved. Meeting room number 9, deadline is today, you can go anytime before you leave work."
Everyone was stunned.
They actually said you can go anytime? Are you kidding me?!
Although these meeting rooms belong to the organization and are public property, anyone can use them as long as it's for a meeting.
But then again, without rules, nothing can be accomplished.
If anyone could use it whenever they wanted, things would be chaotic, which is why a coordination department was established.
The Coordination Department also has other tasks.
Many organizations have this or that problem. They make a simple thing complicated, and they drag things out for a week or even half a month when it could be done today.
Sometimes a certificate requires a stamp, and without someone to guide you, you might spend a whole day trying to get that stamp.
It's not just the Coordination Department that's like this.
So everyone's gotten used to it.
They were even whispering in the main office just now, what if Lu Qiaoge comes back and doesn't get things done, and she starts crying and sobbing?
Regardless of the circumstances, this is one of Director Lü's people.
Even if you don't respect the monk, you should respect the Buddha.
Sister Zhou had already decided to pin the blame on her, since it was she who had asked her to go in the first place.
Who would have thought that Lu Qiaoge would be like this after she returned?
Sister Zhou looked at Lu Qiaoge with a shocked expression and couldn't help but ask, "Who approved the note for you?"
"Team Leader Jin from the Coordination Department."
"He...he didn't make things difficult for you?"
Lu Qiaoge asked Sister Zhou in surprise, "Our requests are reasonable, so why is he making things difficult for me?"
Section Chief Wei and Sister Zhou exchanged a glance.
Because that's the norm.
They had raised this issue with their superiors, but the coordination department said they also had their own difficulties.
What if there's an unexpected or urgent meeting if we don't leave a few empty rooms in the meeting room?
Are they all having meetings sitting in the hallway?
Some meetings that aren't urgent can be postponed. They, however, prioritize urgent or unexpected meetings.
That makes perfect sense, so the matter was left unresolved.
Just like the head chef cooking in the cafeteria.
He has to keep some food supplies on hand every day for emergencies, so that he won't be left with nothing when he really needs them.
This time, Sister Zhou was genuinely curious: "Xiao Lu, can you tell us how you handled this?"
Lu Qiaoge smiled, of course she couldn't say that she had taken advantage of her good eyesight, so she said, "First I checked how many meeting rooms were empty, and then I confirmed that there were three. I took the slip of paper to Team Leader Jin, and I happened to see a waitress. I asked her about the meeting room availability, and she told me that there were indeed three meeting rooms available today. So I went to Team Leader Jin, but he didn't even look at the slip of paper and just said that there were no available meeting rooms today..."
Lu Qiaoge has excellent speaking skills, a pleasant voice, clear and articulate pronunciation, and speaks slowly and deliberately, making listeners feel like they are bathed in a spring breeze.
And it was about going to the coordination department and meeting with Team Leader Jin.
These people naturally became even more interested, and upon hearing this, they all exclaimed in unison, "Oh, that's right! This is Team Leader Jin's work style. Just now, they thought it was something else entirely..."
Generally, if Team Leader Jin says something like that, it means there's no room for negotiation. Either Director Lü has to call him personally to discuss it, or Section Chief Wei has to make a special trip to plead his case and emphasize how important their meeting is. Otherwise, they really won't let you use it.
Logically speaking, someone as annoying as Team Leader Jin should have been fired long ago.
No, he's doing a very stable job in the coordination department.
It might also be related to the fact that he wasn't a pushover, but he didn't cause any problems either.
Lu Qiaoge then recounted her conversation with Team Leader Jin in detail.
To my surprise, everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this.
The way he looked at Lu Qiaoge changed.
Wow, I didn't know you could do that.
That's right, you have to be straightforward. Being subtle is just a waste of time.
The crowd reacted in various ways; some were dismissive, while others were quite appreciative. But it must be said, the initial excitement of watching the spectacle had vanished.
Lu Qiaoge didn't give everyone time to comment on her.
Since the meeting was chaired by Deputy Section Chief Zhou, Lu Qiaoge said to Sister Zhou, "I'll go tidy up the meeting room now. Is there anything else you need?"
Lu Qiaoge naturally wouldn't presumptuously ask for documents or anything like that, even though she was now a member of the Fifth Division, she still needed to be mindful of her boundaries.
Sister Zhou was pleased with Lu Qiaoge's tact and pointed to a stack of documents on the table, saying with a smile, "Take this to the conference room. We'll be there in a bit."
Then he called to Gu Jiayan, "Gu, you and Lu go and tidy up the meeting room."
Gu Jiayan was not surprised at all.
Because this is Lu Qiaoge.
Despite his reluctance, he nodded to Lu Qiaoge on the surface.
She took the notebook and another document from Sister Zhou's desk and walked towards the Coordination Department with Lu Qiaoge.
There was absolutely no conversation along the way.
The two of them were holding the things and were both quite silent.
However, they encountered quite a few young men who frequently turned around to look at them.
Gu Jiayan is also very beautiful, but he looks at Lu Qiaoge more often.
Gu Jiayan finally found a topic to talk about, and said to Lu Qiaoge while climbing the stairs, "They're all watching you."
Lu Qiaoge smiled and didn't answer Gu Jiayan's question. Instead, she asked Gu Jiayan with a smile, "Do you think Team Leader Jin might be waiting for us at the door of Conference Room 9?"
Gu Jiayan was stunned for a moment, and immediately forgot what she was going to do. Right, Team Leader Jin, who had suffered a loss, might be right at the door of the conference room. Who knows how she was going to make things difficult for them?
