Chapter 719: Did we run into a brick wall?
Lu Qiaoge tidied up the documents on the table and glanced around discreetly.
Yes, no wonder Qi Qi mocked Gu Jiayan and also took the opportunity to satirize the fact that the Fifth Division was indeed quite idle.
Even Sister Zhou had finished her work and was packing up to leave.
Currently, the exported products are singular and fixed, making it difficult to generate new trade.
The Fifth Bureau was established in the early 1970s, when foreign trade was at its busiest. At that time, almost everyone with a modicum of awareness was thinking about how to earn foreign exchange for the country. The most famous area was the reproduction of cultural relics, which really earned the country a lot of foreign exchange. Especially in Beijing and the surrounding areas, there were many more workshops that fired various kinds of porcelain, and there were even special antique shops and places that specialize in purchasing them.
Thus, the fourth and fifth places came into being.
However, since these two departments cannot develop new trade, the other three departments of the old business are not getting any business at all.
So, it can be said that it is very leisurely.
Lu Qiaoge glanced at Xiao Ma, who had just returned from retrieving documents for Section Chief Wei, but didn't try to take his job.
He was only on temporary assignment, so if he had too much free time, it would be difficult for him to stay.
Being busy is good; the busier the better.
Xiao Ma breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Qiaoge sitting there without moving. He was really worried that this particularly diligent and capable newcomer would steal his work.
In that case, he, who was already dispensable, would really be sent back to his original unit.
Unexpectedly, just as I was leaving get off work, Qi Qi and an older woman arrived at the Fifth Division carrying two stacks of papers.
Qi Qi felt uncomfortable seeing the employees of the Fifth Division preparing to leave work, but when she thought about how the Fifth Division would soon be dissolved and the internal information about the personnel being arranged accordingly, she felt extremely comfortable.
Hmph, let's see how you can stay idle now?
Before the woman next to her could speak, she excitedly raised her voice: "These are documents that need to be organized immediately. Our department is very busy. We have three to five important meetings every day, as well as receiving foreign guests and negotiating with foreign parties. We have been working overtime, and everyone is spinning like a top. We really can't find the time. So our director had to discuss with Director Lü to ask you to help organize them. We need them in an hour. Oh, I'm so sorry to have kept you from leaving get off work."
The large office of the Fifth Division was quiet.
Just then, the phone rang. Xiao Ma rushed to answer it. It was Director Lü on the other end. He asked Section Chief Wei to answer the phone. Section Chief Wei knew without guessing what Director Lü was talking about. No matter how arrogant Qi Qi was, he wouldn't dare to lie.
So what Director Lü instructed was pretty much what Qi Qi said.
It's just that Qi Qi's tone and the content of her speech made people feel uncomfortable.
So everyone's eyes turned to Section Chief Wei and Deputy Section Chief Zhou.
This is something that can be done; we should help each other out. Especially given how busy they've been lately, it only makes it seem like they have nothing better to do.
Always having so much free time is not a good sign.
This big guy knows it too.
But it was really uncomfortable to have Qi Qi press so hard on my head.
The woman who came with Qi Qi was older and looked very composed. She glanced helplessly at Qi Qi standing beside her; this girl had said everything that should and shouldn't have been said.
But for some reason, I also felt a sense of relief.
The Fifth Division has had a really quiet month.
This phenomenon is not an isolated case, and there's nothing strange about it.
Many factories are like this: busy positions require overtime work, while less busy positions are leisurely places where workers can knit sweaters, read newspapers, or even play cards.
Not every department in the General Administration is as busy as they are.
But there's nothing we can do; some tasks are beyond the capabilities of the Fifth Division.
However, the Fifth Division also frequently handles some tasks that they cannot handle on their own, such as documents like today's, which is quite good.
"Thank you for your hard work. On behalf of all my colleagues in this department, I thank you all."
The two then placed the items on Lu Qiaoge's desk, the closest spot to the door. Qi Qi saw Lu Qiaoge and wondered why the Fifth Division, with its current state, was still letting new people in.
I really don't know what the leaders are thinking.
She didn't even glance at Gu Jiayan, but casually said to Lu Qiaoge, "You're new here, right? You don't know how to organize these things, so we don't need your help. Don't make a mistake and we'll have to redo it."
They thought that once those words were spoken, the matter would be over, and they could go back to their offices.
Qi Qi spoke casually.
They didn't take a newcomer seriously at all.
Moreover, on the surface, what Qi Qi said didn't seem to be wrong.
Lu Qiaoge was a newcomer, and no matter how capable she was, she couldn't figure out the things going on at work.
Moreover, Qi Qi's character is that of a straightforward girl with strong work ability and a powerful background.
It seems these people have gotten used to her speaking style.
Even Deputy Section Chief Zhou smiled helplessly.
Just as they were about to start working, Lu Qiaoge unexpectedly stood up, looked at Qi Qi very seriously, and said, "Comrade Qi Qi, I am indeed a newcomer, and what you said is fine, but how can you be so sure that I can't organize these materials? Also, you don't need my help, but how can you be so sure that I will make mistakes?"
As soon as he said that, the entire office fell silent.
Everyone looked at Lu Qiaoge.
Some people didn't even realize what was happening, like Qi Qi standing right in front of them.
She truly didn't expect Lu Qiaoge to refute her.
Gu Jiayan wanted to burst out laughing.
See? See? I told you not to treat Lu Qiaoge like a newcomer. Now you've kicked a hornet's nest, haven't you?
Does someone who can command respect in Jiangcheng really think he's nothing in Beidu?
Just as Deputy Section Chief Zhou was about to speak, he was stopped by a look from Section Chief Wei.
Treat this as a quarrel between young girls and don't get involved.
Besides, it's fine to help each other, since we're all from the same company, even if we're not in the same department. Helping each other is something we should do.
However, every time, Qi Qi was sent to their place.
The young girl spoke without restraint, and most people wouldn't hold it against Qi Qi.
It is said that one should show respect to the Buddha even if one does not respect the monk.
It is said that the Qi family patriarch is most proud of this granddaughter.
What is the Qi family's status?
You can tell just by looking at how Qi Qi is picked up and dropped off by a bodyguard in a private car every day after get off work.
That is, Gu Jiayan and Qi Qi, who are about the same age as her, are at odds.
However, the two families have a good relationship and often visit each other.
But who is Lu Qiaoge?
Oh, by the way, she's not an ordinary person either; she's now the Qin family's granddaughter-in-law.
However, Mr. Qin has already retired in the past six months.
Although they still live in the compound, they are still somewhat inferior to the Qi family.
Lu Qiaoge is too ignorant. How could she make enemies of the Qin family so soon after arriving at the General Administration?
Offending Qi Qi for no reason will not end well.
