Chapter 714, here to make another appearance?
So the two old factory directors traveled all the way to Beijing, clinging to their last hope, and went to the State Administration of Foreign Trade.
The State Administration of Foreign Trade already knew about this matter and even sent several comrades there to conduct an investigation.
Being scammed and cheated, and then having the misfortune of an accident, is simply unsolvable.
Even if a god came, you couldn't expect the other party to pay for the goods under such circumstances.
To put it bluntly, just accept your bad luck. Why bother looking for it?
But the two old factory directors were so pitiful, they cried with snot and tears streaming down their faces at the gate.
They say there are capable people in the capital. Let's see if they can find a way to turn this contract around.
The State Administration of Foreign Trade is staffed with highly skilled personnel in this area.
At first glance, it's obvious that this contract is a deception based on the other party's rhetoric.
But is this the first time?
Actually not.
It's just that there are very few of them.
The two old factory directors refused to leave, but no one was willing to take over the matter because there was no way to turn things around.
Everyone kindly advised: "Old factory manager, go back, learn from your experience, and start everything from scratch. The workers will understand the difficulties the factory is facing."
The initial intention was good, but who could have imagined such an accident would happen?
But the old factory director still wouldn't leave, clinging to his last glimmer of hope.
Let the higher-ups take another look and think of a solution...
The pleas of the two former factory directors were truly heartbreaking.
Then the matter was handed over to the Fifth Division.
Director Lü had no choice but to take on the task, knowing in his heart that they were being given this responsibility because they were relatively free lately.
Director Lü had only been transferred to the Fifth Division for a short time.
What to say?
It's not far-fetched to say that he was implicated by Lu Qiaoge and thus exiled to the Fifth Division; there was indeed such a reason.
Director Lü valued talent and had been strongly advocating for Lu Qiaoge to be transferred to the State Administration of Foreign Trade ahead of schedule.
They said there was no need to take things step by step; Lu Qiaoge could have simply parachuted in.
Unexpectedly, Lu Qiaoge got into university.
Then, two months ago, Lao Lü was transferred to the Fifth Division.
The work in the Fifth Division is quite tedious, but because many things are being quietly reformed, the Fifth Division is now relatively relaxed.
Seeing how busy other departments are, I can't help but feel envious.
I asked my superiors for a task, but to my surprise, they assigned the task of the two former factory directors to the Fifth Division.
Even though Director Lü knew the meeting was pointless, he still asked Section Chief Wei to convene a meeting to discuss it.
Then Section Chief Wei handed the reins over to Deputy Section Chief Zhou.
To be honest, this is just going through the motions.
The research is complete, but there's no solution.
There's nothing wrong with their contract.
So the atmosphere at the meeting is a bit somber, but not tense.
At this moment, Section Chief Wei noticed that Lu Qiaoge was still holding documents in his hand, so he asked Lu Qiaoge, "Comrade Lu, do you have any thoughts?"
Lu Qiao didn't answer immediately, but asked, "This is my first day reporting for duty. Do I have any requests or thoughts?"
Section Chief Wei and Deputy Section Chief Zhou exchanged a glance.
What is Lu Qiaoge trying to do?
Section Chief Wei quickly said, "The purpose of this meeting is to gather ideas from all sides, so naturally, anyone who attends can say whatever they want. Comrade Xiao Lu, you can speak up."
Lu Qiaoge then said, "I want detailed weather information for the location of the incident. Is that difficult?" Communication is not advanced now, and contact is inconvenient. Detailed weather information for that sea area should not be easy to obtain.
Section Chief Wei frowned; this was indeed the first time someone had raised this point.
"I really don't know, you should contact the meteorological department."
Old Zhao said, "Our unit will issue a letter of introduction, and then we'll go to the Meteorological Bureau to check the data."
Section Chief Wei said, "Then issue a letter of introduction and have Xiao Ma accompany Lu Qiaoge on this trip."
Sitting in the corner, Xiao Ma's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded: "Okay, Section Chief Wei."
He had just returned and happened to be in a meeting.
This is a round-faced, smiling young man in his early twenties. He is very smart and hardworking.
Section Chief Wei then said, "Let's adjourn the meeting."
Everyone grabbed their things and headed out. Lu Qiaoge, Gu Jiayan, and Xiao Ma brought up the rear.
Neither Section Chief Wei nor Deputy Section Chief Zhou gave Lu Qiaoge any explanation.
Clearly, they didn't take Lu Qiaoge's suggestion to heart.
Perhaps she was thinking that Lu Qiaoge was trying to show off again?
Of course, this is a good thing.
Young people, how can they do their jobs well if they don't express themselves?
They weren't actually that averse to it.
Those who volunteer for work are all good comrades.
But there's absolutely no chance of turning things around; whatever we do will be in vain.
Lu Qiaoge naturally didn't care what they were thinking.
The great white shark hasn't returned yet, but Lu Qiaoge also wants to confirm whether the ship has really sunk, or if there's some kind of conspiracy involved.
After all, she's cunning and loves conspiracy theories!
Before Lu Qiaoge could even get the paperwork done, Xiao Ma had already obtained a letter of introduction from Section Chief Wei and said to Lu Qiaoge with a smile, "Shall we set off now?"
Lu Qiaoge was satisfied with Xiao Ma's speed, so she nodded: "Okay, let's go now."
After the two people left, there was a moment of silence in the office. Then Old Zhao said with a smile, "Young people are great. They have drive and energy. Don't worry about whether the idea is naive or not. After all, they've thought about it and used their brains."
Gu Jiayan twitched the corners of his mouth, unsure of what to say.
She also wanted to tell these people: Please don't treat Lu Qiaoge like a newcomer, okay?
She's really amazing in Jiangcheng.
An older woman over there said, "Section Chief Wei, I suggest that we talk to Lu Qiaoge when she comes back."
She is now a university student. Our country invests so much in educating these university students so that we can better build our motherland.
I think she should focus her energy on her studies. She can take her time getting used to the job here; there's no rush.
Some people sighed and said, "Yes, it's pointless to try to find out the weather conditions that day. The massive storm was not only mentioned in the investigation report, but it was also reported in foreign newspapers."
Section Chief Wei said, "Since Comrade Xiao Lu wants to go and take a look, then let her go. But I will talk to her when she comes back."
Deputy Section Chief Zhou remained silent.
She called Gu Jiayan over: "Write a summary of today's meeting. It's about time to report this matter as well."
Gu Jiayan really wanted to ask Deputy Section Chief Zhou, "Shouldn't we wait until Lu Qiaoge returns from the meteorological department before discussing this?"
But he swallowed those words back immediately.
So he picked up a pen and started making a draft while flipping through the documents.
They quickly forgot about Lu Qiaoge's trip to the meteorological department.
After thinking about it, Section Chief Wei decided that he should talk to Director Lü about it.
So I took the meeting minutes and went to the director's office...
