Chapter 248: The Big Secret In The North Of The City
So, the experiment will definitely succeed.
As for the packaging, Lu Qiaoge thought about it and said to Qin Hengzhi: “Help me with something, contact the Chemical Research Institute in the city. I remember they were supported by Soviet Union experts the earliest.”
Qin Hengzhi agreed.
The afternoon passed quickly. Meng Qingshan and Hu Ze kept following Qin Hengzhi to familiarize themselves with the machines.
Lu Qiaoge suddenly heard Xiao Cangcang calling her and found an excuse to go out.
Before she could talk to Xiao Cangcang, she saw Chang An talking with Lin Junfeng.
Chang An gestured emphatically, making single-syllable sounds like “ah ah ah” from his mouth.
Lin Junfeng frowned, his tone carrying sadness: “Little brother, your second sister-in-law and I have no other ideas. We just want you and Zhou Li to bring the child to my home to get familiar and have a meal. We didn’t know before, so we couldn’t contact each other. Now that we know our relationship, how could I pretend not to know?”
Chang An also frowned. In his anxiety, he couldn’t speak.
He gestured with his hands, meaning: I’m busy now, rushing to fulfill orders. I’m still the deputy director, and I have to take on my responsibility. It has nothing to do with others; this is my job. I like it very much, love it and cherish it very much. But I’m not familiar with you, and even less with your second sister-in-law. Meeting for a meal would be awkward. I’m actually a mute and can’t speak. This is my fate, and it has nothing to do with you. You don’t need to feel guilty or compensate me. I don’t need compensation from any of you!”
Lu Qiaoge naturally understood.
It seemed Chang An had decided to stay, and this choice was not wrong. He was now entrusted with heavy responsibilities. Even in Beidu, not even Old Lin’s influence could achieve this.
As for the future, if he really achieved results, where couldn’t he go?
Also, this Deputy Director Lin wanted to invite him for a meal, but Chang An wouldn’t go.
Lu Qiaoge frowned slightly. Lin Junfeng was remarried, and it was said his wife was ten years younger than him, a little wife, very beautiful, now the second-in-command at the Cultural Palace.
But she didn’t know anything else.
However, obviously, Lin Junfeng hadn’t understood a single word.
But seeing his dark-faced younger brother gesturing, he originally thought it was comical, but suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable inside, and tears streamed down his face.
His voice choked as he said: “Okay, alright, if you don’t come, then don’t come. I won’t force you, but remember, I am your second brother, your blood second brother.”
Then he reached out and patted his shoulder: “Go back and work hard. Actually, your choice is also good. Going back to Beidu definitely won’t have the current work environment. Director Hu and Lu Qiaoge… can barely be considered people who are wholeheartedly dedicated to work. Follow them and work hard. Once you’re familiar, you can slowly transfer back later.”
Chang An frowned.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself.
He said word by word: “Director Hu, Lu Qiaoge, work, it’s this!”
He raised his right thumb, the other four fingers in a fist, shook it slightly, then continued gesturing with sign language: He was full of gratitude toward these two.
Regardless of whether Lin Junfeng understood, he left without looking back.
Lu Qiaoge was standing in a place where neither of them could see her.
So there was no need to greet Deputy Director Lin.
His words weren’t very pleasant.
How could she, Lu Qiaoge, and Old Hu barely be considered people who were wholeheartedly dedicated to work?
Barely considered?
This evaluation of four words was too presumptuous.
Lu Qiaoge felt that she was completely wholeheartedly dedicated to work.
Not to mention selfless devotion, almost.
She even worked hard to change certain processes, to make the country take fewer detours and get better and better.
Lu Qiaoge felt very unconvinced.
She glared at Lin Junfeng; she didn’t have a good impression of him to begin with.
Actually, a technical deputy director who reached this point today definitely had a sharp enough mind.
He was also outstanding and excellent in a certain domain.
But from the matter with Shen Yun, it was clear this person had soft ears and was stubborn and self-willed.
He might be serious and responsible about big matters, but on small matters, or in dealing with small people, he didn’t take them to heart and was dismissive in attitude.
How to put it, he had a sense of superiority of someone from the upper class.
Lu Qiaoge ignored him and asked the obediently waiting Xiao Cangcang what was up, standing in the corner of the wall.
Xiao Cangcang: 【Little Master, these days Rat Big and Rat Two and I have been wandering around this city, and we’ve kept your exhortation in mind. For important confidential places, we’ve stayed far away.
Then Rat Big, Rat Two, and I discovered a big secret in the family courtyard near the North City Gate.】
Lu Qiaoge’s pupils shrank.
A big secret?
What big secret could there be over there? Could someone be planning sabotage?
Xiao Cangcang held back his excitement and continued: 【In one of the empty houses there, we found they had a basement, and the basement was full of wooden boxes with iron edges. The three of us didn’t count how many there were, but I know there was gold and silver inside. I smelled it from outside the boxes.】
Lu Qiaoge was immediately alert; another big boxes, this was big news.
【The male owner of that household was transferred away. Neighbors say he was transferred to Haicheng. The key is at the Housing Management Office. His house is private and is now being sold. Asking price is three thousand eight hundred. Little Fairy, that house is very big, you have to hurry. If someone else buys it, we won’t get any of the boxes in the basement.】
Lu Qiaoge excitedly rubbed her hands. Wasn’t this just right? No need to ask, it must be the house Elder Sister Su mentioned.
But three thousand eight hundred, the asking price was really too high.
She now had over one thousand six hundred yuan.
Actually, at the end of the exhibition fair, that’s what she had.
But she’d spent quite a bit during this time, and luckily got paid and replenished it.
One thousand six hundred, and here there was part of Qin Hengzhi’s.
Of course, if you really calculate, the amber she gave Qin Hengzhi would be priceless in the future.
But this matter couldn’t be calculated that way.
Of course, mainly Lu Qiaoge felt she was very capable too.
You know, the previous her was penniless, and the most she’d ever had in her pocket was ten yuan.
And that wasn’t even her own; it was for buying things for home.
But now this money completely belonged to her.
It was earned with her skill.
And she’d even given Meng Xia one thousand yuan to repay debt.
With the current salary level and the regulation against doing business, her ability to make money was not small.
Even so, she was still two thousand two hundred short of three thousand eight hundred.
Lu Qiaoge instructed Xiao Cangcang in her mind: “You’ve worked hard these days with Rat Big and Rat Two. Stay in a safe spot guarding that house… I’ll try to buy the house as soon as possible.”
Xiao Cangcang was simply too excited; what it liked most was the little master assigning it tasks.
Otherwise, idle every day, it wouldn’t know what it was alive for.
Xiao Cangcang happily flew away.
Lu Qiaoge returned to the factory building. Soon it was time to get off work, then several people worked overtime another hour before leaving the Food Factory.
Meng Qingshan and Hu Ze rode bicycles in another direction. Qin Hengzhi had come by the factory’s car today. He pushed Lu Qiaoge’s bicycle and said he’d take her to a restaurant for dinner.
This worked fine; she could just ask Qin Hengzhi about Lin Junfeng.
