Chapter 721 Is it going to disband?
Halfway there, Gu Jiayan said to Xiao Ma, "When we meet Qi Qi later, what will you say if he asks you who Lu Qiaoge is?"
Xiao Ma greatly admires Lu Qiaoge.
If he had half of Lu Qiaoge's abilities, he wouldn't be living in constant fear.
He honestly said, "Although Xiao Lu is a newcomer, she has officially joined our Fifth Department. There's nothing wrong with that. Just tell the truth when asked."
"What if Qi Qi goes and causes trouble for Lu Qiaoge?"
"Why would she go looking for trouble with Lu Qiaoge?" Xiao Ma asked, puzzled.
"Because Lu Qiaoge embarrassed her today and even criticized her."
Xiao Ma thought for a moment and said, "But I think Lu Qiaoge is right. And if she were wrong, given Qi Qi's personality, she would have already lost her temper on the spot. How could she have held back until now?"
Then Xiao Ma countered, "So why can't we just say Lu Qiaoge is Lu Qiaoge?"
Lu Qiaoge isn't someone to be ashamed of, so why is she hiding it?
Besides, we're all from the same unit. A new person joined the Fifth Division today, and we can find out who it is just by asking around.
As far as he knew, quite a few people now knew that a new person had come to their Fifth Division.
Gu Jiayan glanced at Xiao Ma.
For some reason, it seems that anyone who has interacted with Lu Qiaoge and has no ill intentions towards her has a particularly good impression of her.
Gu Jiayan then sneered and said, "Then I don't care anymore, say whatever you want."
At this moment, everyone in the Fifth Division was preparing to leave work, but Director Lü, who had been running around all day, called Section Chief Wei and Deputy Section Chief Zhou into his office.
He first told the two people, "Lu Qiaoge's application has been approved, and we have now contacted the relevant parties to retrieve the information that Lu Qiaoge needs."
Section Chief Wei and Deputy Section Chief Zhou exchanged a glance; this was all unexpected.
It seems that there are people in higher positions supporting Lu Qiaoge.
Director Lü frowned, sighed, and said to the two men, "I called you two here today not for this application report."
Section Chief Wei's heart sank; he had also heard the rumor.
However, he felt that the group wouldn't just disband like that.
The Fifth Division has been established for several years and has had its glorious moments. However, in the past two years, due to the reduction in foreign trade business, they have had less work.
This is the general direction; it's not entirely the fault of the Fifth Division.
Section Chief Wei hurriedly asked, "Director Lü, what's the matter?"
Director Lü did not answer immediately; he had only confirmed the accuracy of the information today.
Barring any major unforeseen circumstances, the Fifth Division will be disbanded in a month, and its cadres will be reassigned to the First, Second, and Third Divisions.
The four offices will also be cancelled, and the staff there will be reassigned to other positions.
If the seconded personnel do not make significant contributions or perform exceptionally well, they will have to return to their original units.
Section Chief Wei and Deputy Section Chief Zhou were assigned to Division One and Division Two, respectively.
If you want to stay at your current level, you can only go to the logistics department.
If you go to the general office, you will be demoted by half a level.
The document will be distributed soon.
Therefore, he needs to do some ideological work with these two people beforehand.
After all, both of them are impeccable at work, always conscientious and dedicated. People often say that plans can't keep up with changes, and it seems that's certainly true.
He transferred Lu Qiaoge to the General Administration because he hoped that Lu Qiaoge's addition would elevate the work of the Fifth Division to a higher level.
I just didn't expect this department to be dissolved so suddenly.
But he wasn't too worried about Lu Qiaoge.
As for Lu Qiaoge, you don't need to worry about where you put her.
Director Lü stated bluntly, "The leadership has already spoken with me, and the document will be issued in a couple of days. Departments Four and Five will be abolished."
Upon hearing this, Section Chief Wei and Deputy Section Chief Zhou both stared in shock.
Thinking is one thing, doing is another.
I thought we'd have to wait until next year, but I didn't expect to make a decision now.
"It's really going to be disbanded," Deputy Section Chief Zhou thought, feeling tears welling up in his eyes.
Section Chief Wei's eyes also reddened.
Director Lü understood their feelings.
He hasn't been at the Fifth Division for very long, but these two people have been working here for eight years now.
There must be emotions involved in creating something from nothing.
Director Lü waved his hand and said, "I'll explain the arrangements for the two of you, and then you should adjust your mindset as soon as possible, while also doing a good job of serving the staff below..."
Section Chief Wei thought for a moment, then asked Director Lü, "What should we do about Lu Qiaoge?"
Director Lü said, "She is now a formal employee of the General Administration, and she has to obey arrangements no matter where she is. And what you said is right, her main task now is to study hard."
Unexpectedly, Deputy Section Chief Zhou said, "I'm not worried about Xiao Lu. With her personality, she can do any job very well."
She then added, "I won't be bullied anywhere."
Director Lü laughed, which lightened the slightly somber atmosphere.
So the three of them put aside their disappointment and began to discuss the arrangements for the employees below.
Meanwhile, Qi Qi was delivering documents to the leader's office when she inadvertently learned that the Fourth and Fifth Divisions had been disbanded, so she felt a pang of sympathy when she saw Gu Jiayan arrive.
However, she actually stopped Gu Jiayan and asked, "Who is that new female colleague? Is she a newcomer? She seems like a long-time employee to me."
Gu Jiayan glared at her, not wanting to answer her question. He took the compiled report and prepared to go to a leader's office.
Unexpectedly, Qi Qi stopped him and then held out her hand: "Our leaders are all very busy, give me this report."
Gu Jiayan suppressed his anger and handed the report written by Lu Qiaoge to Qi Qi.
Qi Qi looked the report up and down with a scrutinizing gaze, but in the end she had to admit that there was nothing wrong with it.
But she still said to Gu Jiayan with schadenfreude, "Your new female colleague is really beautiful. The two of you sitting together look like a white swan and a black duck."
"Gu Jiayan, how dare you sit next to her? You have absolutely no self-awareness. If I were you, I would never sit next to her and be compared to her."
Before the enraged Gu Jiayan could retort, she immediately added, "I'm saying this to prepare you mentally. It's alright if I say it to you, but you, Gu Jiayan, would also find it unbearable to be talked about like this by others."
Gu Jiayan roared angrily, "Qi Qi, don't go too far!"
Sister Mu hurried over and pulled the two of them aside: "Are you two like fighting roosters? You start bickering the moment you meet. This is the workplace. If the boss sees you, you'll both be criticized, you know?"
Gu Jiayan glared angrily at Qi Qi, trying to calm himself down. After a few breaths, he sneered, "You're just as good as me at bullying the weak. When you run into trouble, you're nothing either!"
