Chapter 214 Invitation to Beijing
For a moment, regret filled Liu Mei's heart. She really shouldn't have accepted the gift from her aunt just for the sake of gaining a small advantage. Now she is in a difficult situation.
Liu Mei looked at Gu Qingyu and asked tentatively, "Comrade Gu, do you think there's any room for easing this situation?"
"Director Liu, who would live in a nice house like yours instead of letting outsiders in?"
"It would be fine if they just lived in it and at least took care of the house, but they made a mess of it. It seems that no one would accept this, right?" Gu Qingyu said in a bad tone.
Seeing that Gu Qingyu said this, Liu Mei didn't say anything else. Now her headache was how to convince those people in the yard to move out.
Gu Qingyu came here today to listen to Professor Ouyang's information, and how to deal with it later depends on Professor Ouyang's opinion.
But before leaving, Gu Qingyu pretended to be casual and said, "Director Liu, if these people don't move out, I will report them to the relevant departments for illegally occupying more housing."
"If this incident affects their evaluations in their respective units, they won't be able to blame anyone else."
After saying that, Gu Qingyu left without caring about Liu Mei's reaction.
After leaving Shuijing Subdistrict Office, Gu Qingyu went directly to the nearby post and telecommunications bureau to call Professor Ouyang and others back.
At the Red Star Food Factory, Director Wang received a call from Gu Qingyu and was overjoyed. "Director Gu, you finally called!"
Gu Qingyu listened to Director Wang's overly excited tone on the other end of the phone and began to wonder, "Even though we haven't been in touch for four or five of us, there's no need to be so exaggerated!"
"Besides, I'm not the factory manager anymore, so you can just call me Qingyu!"
"Director Gu, oh no, Qingyu! You don't know, the leaders of the Economic and Trade Bureau are too much. Since I sent you the letter, they actually sent three more people here!"
"If they continue to do this, it won't be long before we are squeezed out of the Red Star Food Factory." Director Wang sighed and complained to Gu Qingyu.
Originally, Gu Qingyu was at a loss about this situation, but this morning when he was browsing the newspaper, he saw a piece of news in the Business Daily, and then he had some clues.
Thinking of this, Gu Qingyu said to Director Wang on the other end of the phone, "Today's Commercial News supplement published a news item about the country encouraging state-owned enterprises to separate government from business in order to boost corporate vitality!"
"Briefly explain the conflict between the Red Star Food Factory and the Economic and Trade Bureau, then take this newspaper to the city government and report the problem to the leaders!"
"The main point is that Red Star Food Factory is willing to cooperate with national policies and carry out a pilot program for the separation of government and enterprise. Please approve it, leaders!"
As soon as Gu Qingyu finished speaking, Director Wang on the other end of the phone stood up in surprise, "Is this... is this... true?"
Gu Qingyu listened to Wang Ziqiang's excited voice on the other end of the phone and said with a smile, "Whether it's true or not, you can tell by taking a look at the newspaper."
"Yes, yes, yes! I'm going to read the newspaper. When there is good news, I will tell you!" After saying that, he hung up the phone impatiently and went to find the newspaper Qingyu mentioned.
After finishing the call with Director Wang, Gu Qingyu called Professor Ouyang again.
After briefly describing the old house's condition to Professor Ouyang over the phone, Gu Qingyu suggested to Professor Ouyang, "Professor, even if the tenants of the old house vacate the house, I'm afraid your house will need to be properly renovated before you can live in it!"
"I have a yard at the back gate of Beijing University. I need to live in the dormitory for school, and my yard is empty anyway. Why don't you and Xiao Yifei return to Beijing City and stay with me for a while?"
"Also, the cram school my brother and sister-in-law attend recently opened a branch near Peking University. It just so happens that Xiao Yifei is here, so he can go to school nearby."
Professor Ouyang originally planned to reject Gu Qingyu's proposal, but when he heard Gu Qingyu say that there was a cram school near the house, he inevitably wavered.
"Is this... too much trouble for you?" Professor Ouyang asked apologetically.
Gu Qingyu heard the relaxation in the other party's tone and continued, "What's the trouble? Isn't there a vacant room?"
"It's settled now. You can't go back on your word!" Gu Qingyu hung up the phone without giving Professor Ouyang a chance to refuse.
After resolving Professor Ouyang's issue, the only call left was to Gu Lei.
However, when Gu Qingyu clearly affirmed Gu Lei's idea, Gu Lei's voice on the other end of the phone did not sound very excited.
This is not like my friend's personality!
Gu Qingyu asked Gu Lei on the other end of the phone worriedly, "Leizi, is there something wrong over there?"
When Gu Lei heard Gu Qingyu ask this, he answered reflexively, "No, why do you ask?"
"I knew something was wrong the moment I heard your tone. Hurry up and stop wasting time. What happened?"
As soon as Gu Lei heard what Gu Qingyu said, he knew he could no longer hide it. He slapped his forehead in frustration on the other end of the phone, blaming himself for being so stupid.
"Before you called, I had already proposed expanding the factory to the factory leaders."
"Not only did I not receive recognition from the leadership, they also thought I was vainglorious and sent me to the production workshop to carry heavy loads."
Gu Qingyu frowned when he heard this, thinking that this matter might not be that simple. You know, the fact that Gu Lei and others were able to work in the factory was more or less due to Gu Qingyu's relationship.
Even if the leader thinks Gu Lei's proposal is too unrealistic, he will not send him to the workshop to carry heavy responsibilities.
"What positions are Shi Tou and the others in now?" Gu Qingyu suddenly asked.
After these words were spoken, there was a silence on the other end of the phone. After a long while, Gu Lei said in a low voice with difficulty, "Shi Tou and the others have all been transferred to the workshop to work now!"
As expected, people leave and the tea gets cold!
Seeing that he could no longer hide the truth, Gu Lei simply told Gu Qingyu everything that had happened during this period.
The leading cadres in the town who had a good relationship with Gu Qingyu were all promoted because of the good development of the mushroom industry in Hongqi Commune, and they all left Hongqi Commune.
The newly appointed leaders would naturally arrange their own confidants to come in, and Gu Lei and others were gradually squeezed out!
This time, Gu Lei was assigned to the workshop to carry heavy responsibilities because the new factory leader wanted to arrange his brother-in-law to be a middle-level leader in the factory.
He also heard that Gu Qingyu had left Xinhu, and felt that Gu Lei had no one to rely on, so he found an excuse to send him to the workshop and leave the position vacant.
Gu Qingyu pondered for a long time on the phone, and suddenly asked Gu Lei on the other end, "Leizi, do you want to go out and try your luck?"
Give it a try?
Gu Lei didn't understand the meaning of Gu Qingyu's words for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "Qingyu, I understand what you want to say."
Now they were outside, and there were some things Gu Qingyu couldn't say on the phone, so she said to Gu Lei, "I think you've been in a bad mood recently. Why don't you take a leave and come to Beijing?"
"There are some things I need to discuss with you in person, and I'd also like to take you somewhere to broaden your horizons!"
"Going to Beijing?" Gu Lei said in surprise.
Hearing the hesitation in the other person's tone, Gu Qingyu jokingly said, "Why, are you scared?"
How could Gu Lei not know that Gu Qingyu was using provocation? "What are you afraid of? Wait, I'm going to ask for leave right now. You just wait for me in Beijing!"
As expected, he was still the same as when he was little, unable to stand any provocation at all. Hearing this, Gu Qingyu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come over!"
Having previously paid a large sum of alimony to Gu An, Gu Qingyu's wallet was once again empty. Sun Lei's situation was already on the right track, so it was not a good time for Gu Qingyu to interfere.
It just so happened that Gu Lei was unhappy working at the mushroom processing factory, so Gu Qingyu simply pulled him over to help him.
Gu Lei acted quickly. As soon as he hung up the phone with Gu Qingyu, he turned around and went to the personnel department of the factory office to ask for leave.
Xiao Huang from the Personnel Department looked at Gu Lei's leave application and asked in confusion, "Xiao Gu, why are you taking half a month's leave? How much salary will be deducted?"
Gu Lei didn't want to waste time with Xiao Huang. He said to him impatiently, "Just deduct my salary. Please approve my leave application first!"
Xiao Huang, who had originally planned to persuade Gu Lei to take two days off, became unhappy when he heard Gu Lei's impatient tone. "Since you don't have any objections, what else can I say?"
"However, if your leave exceeds seven days, you'll need the factory manager's signature. Please leave the note with me first and come back to get it after get off work."
Gu Lei nodded when he heard this, and then left the office quickly and efficiently.
Before long, several people close to Gu Lei knew that he was going to ask for leave.
Most people thought that Gu Lei took leave on purpose because he felt unbalanced because he was assigned to the workshop by the factory leaders to carry heavy responsibilities.
Gu Lei had also heard of such rumors, but he was not prepared to come forward to explain.
At this time, the friends in Gujia Village also heard the rumor. They were afraid that Gu Lei would do something bad in a fit of impulse, so they came over together to comfort him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered Gu Lei's dormitory, I saw him packing his luggage. "Leizi, why are you packing?"
Seeing this, the others stepped forward and held down the luggage on the bed, and advised Gu Lei, "Leizi, don't be impulsive! This is a good job, you can't just quit it."
"That's right. Even though we're carrying heavy bags in the workshop, our factory produces mushrooms. Although they're large, they're very light. You can just bear with it and it will pass."
Several people were talking at the same time to persuade him, leaving Gu Lei confused. What the hell were they talking about?
Gu Lei quickly interrupted their chatter, "Stop, stop, stop! Stop talking! Who said I'm quitting? You're making such a fuss! I'm just taking some time off!"
"You can take a leave if you want, but why did you ask for half a month's leave?"
Hearing his friends ask this, Gu Lei couldn't help but chuckle. He waved at everyone, and when everyone gathered around, he whispered, "Qingyu knows about my situation. She asked me to take some time off and go to Beijing to see her. She said she would take me to see the world."
As he spoke, Gu Lei couldn't help but laugh secretly, which made the others very envious.
Someone couldn't help but ask curiously, "What kind of worldly experience is Qingyu talking about?"
Gu Lei shook his head upon hearing this. "That's not what I said, but don't worry. When I come back, you'll know what's going on!"
"What are you waiting for? Pack your luggage quickly and go early!" As they said that, the others simply pulled Gu Lei aside and helped him pack his luggage.
Judging from the postures of these people, they can't wait to pack up the people and send them to Beijing!
After resting for two days, Gu Qingyu returned to the dormitory and found that the dormitory was quiet and the atmosphere was not right.
She looked around in confusion, and seeing no one spoke, she couldn't help but look at Yang Shengnan beside her, asking her with her eyes what had happened?
Yang Shengnan received Gu Qingyu's inquiring gaze. She nodded towards Dong Wenjun's bed, motioning Gu Qingyu to look over.
Gu Qingyu followed Yang Shengnan's gaze and saw Dong Wenjun wrapped in the quilt like a silkworm cocoon, twitching.
Is she crying? This is not like Dong Wenjun's personality!
This girl is like an indestructible cockroach. She jumps out and acts up from time to time. Gu Qingyu has never seen Dong Wenjun cry.
Seeing that Gu Qingyu still hadn't figured out what was going on, Yang Shengnan simply pulled him out of the dormitory and walked towards the end of the corridor.
After no one was around, Yang Shengnan whispered, "You haven't been in the dormitory these two days, so you don't know. Our midterm exam results are out!"
Gu Qingyu was surprised when she heard this, "The results are out so soon?"
Then Gu Qingyu thought about why Dong Wenjun was crying. Since Yang Shengnan specifically pulled her out to say this, it meant that Dong Wenjun did not test her better!
Gu Qingyu asked Yang Shengnan for confirmation, "So, she lost?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Shengnan nodded at Gu Qingyu and said helplessly, "The test results came out yesterday. The class monitor helped the counselor compile the results and posted them in the classroom."
"Good boy, this guy has been crying in his bed since yesterday when he found out he didn't pass your test! He's been crying all day and all night, and no one can persuade him!"
Gu Qingyu was shocked when he heard this and looked at Yang Shengnan and said, "How can you cry so hard? How about I go and try to comfort her!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Shengnan quickly waved her hands and hurriedly stopped Gu Qingyu, saying, "Please don't go up and try to persuade her!"
"You two don't get along well to begin with. If you go up to her and try to persuade her, she might think you're mocking her. Wouldn't that just add fuel to the fire?"
"Let's be quiet these two days and leave her alone. Maybe it will get better!"
Gu Qingyu thought about it and it made sense. Given the clash between her and Dong Wenjun some time ago, it would be better for her not to get involved!
