That settled the matter.
The next day, Lu Miao went to the gold jewelry store in the department store.
Originally, as Fu Jingyou suggested, she was also thinking about buying bracelets and anklets.
There are indeed some with good meanings, such as the kind with a ring of bells or a small gourd with a ring meaning "Fu Lu".
Looks delicate and playful.
But after touching it, Lu Miao felt that it was not ideal.
The weight is wrong.
Except for the main body, everything else is hollow.
Gold is no different from other metals. It is hollow and does not even need to be crushed hard.
Pinch it a little and it will flatten.
After looking at several pairs of bracelets, Lu Miao didn't like any of them, and finally chose a 16g small Pixiu with a string on the back.
Gold maintains its value, and Pixiu means attracting wealth and warding off evil spirits.
Whether it is economic or moral, Lu Miao thinks it is very suitable.
But she only bought Pixiu and didn’t care about anything else.
The elders in the family will watch over the rest of the preparations.
Besides, I rested at home for several days and sorted out a bunch of trivial matters.
Lu Miao tidied up and resumed her daily work routine.
Privately, Lu Miao also asked Yu Hong about Xi Lufeng’s follow-up.
But he didn’t ask anything.
Because the company had clearly issued a notice while she was on sick leave.
Talking about certain things, and certain people, is not allowed.
With various restrictions and Minister Zhan’s instructions in front of him, Lu Miao could not continue to inquire further.
It seems inevitable that Xi Lufeng will fade away from everyone's vision and memory.
But life never stops here.
Just as one wave subsided, another wave immediately followed.
In mid-November, Guoyingshe just provided heating.
The gardenias collected in June and July have been kept in hydroponics and soaked indoors.
Although the leaves have almost fallen off now, the dense roots in the bottle are full of vitality.
Lu Miao saw that it was growing well when he went to work, so he brought a small flowerpot from home the next day.
When he was free after lunch, Lu Miao carried the flowerpot downstairs, thinking about shoveling some soil in the inner courtyard and planting gardenias in hydroponics instead of soil.
As soon as she found a handy tree stick and was digging the soil, Yu Hong ran over anxiously and said:
"Senior!"
"What's wrong? You're so anxious. "
Lu Miao asked and put the tree stick aside.
I looked around and couldn't find anything suitable, so I simply pulled up my sleeve, held the soil in my two white hands and put it into the basin.
"Minister Zhan came to see you for something. He doesn't look good, as if something is wrong. Senior, you'd better go quickly!"
Yu Hong was very anxious and looked at the situation as quite difficult.
Lu Miao was also worried that something had really happened, so he clapped his hands and stood up and walked towards the building in front:
"I'll go and have a look. Did you remove all the soil I just dug?" Put it in a flower pot, I’ll use it later.”
“Okay.”
Ignoring washing her hands, Lu Miao crossed her arms, rubbed against each other, pushed her sleeves higher, and went straight to the fourth floor.
Arriving at the door of Minister Zhan’s office, Lu Miao knocked on the door and pushed the door open directly:
“Minister, you are looking for me.”
“Yes.”
Minister Zhan responded, opened the drawer, took a five-pointed star medal and placed it on the outside corner of the table:
"The Guangzhou branch and the foreign trade branch have reported your situation here, saying that you performed very well in all aspects during the Canton Fair. This is a medal given to you by the company."
Lu Miao nodded knowingly, Take two steps forward and subconsciously reach out for the medal.
Thinking of something, she withdrew her hand halfway, rubbed her dirty hands on her skirt, and then took the medal over.
Minister Zhan’s expression was still serious, and he obviously didn’t know what to say.
Lu Miao put away the medal and stood next to him, quietly waiting for his next words. A departure from the usual banter and favoritism.
Minister Zhan put on his glasses and concentrated on his work.
After letting the person dry for about ten minutes, he fastened the cap of the pen and inserted it back into the pen holder. He turned sideways and looked at Lu Miao seriously and said:
"The club received news that you had secretly followed People have conducted trade, is this true?”
“…”
Lu Miao was slightly stunned.
During the ten minutes of quiet waiting, she thought about many possibilities.
I also guessed that there might be something wrong with my work.
But I didn’t expect that it would be this.
Although I was surprised and felt that the discovery was earlier than expected, it is a fact after all.
Moreover, Minister Zhan will talk about this matter. Although he is asking now, there is a high probability that he has already figured out the situation.
Lu Miao was very sensible and did not argue, and nodded calmly:
"Yes."
Minister Zhan looked serious and slammed the table.
"Bang——", a very loud sound.
Although Lu Miao was not frightened, she still lowered her head.
It’s not a guilty conscience, it’s not fear.
Instead admit the mistake.
"What is your status? Do you need me to tell you whether your status allows you to do business?"
"No need..."
"Then what do you mean you are doing now? Huh? Knowing the law and breaking the law? I always praise you for your intelligence and your potential, and you make mistakes in such a low-level place!?"
In the past, Lu Miao was the only one who used all his firepower to criticize others.
This time she was honest and listened to Minister Zhan scolding her for more than half an hour.
But getting scolded won’t solve the problem.
Lu Miao quickly assessed and took the initiative to remove the work badge from his chest.
She put the work card on the corner of the table and pushed it to Minister Zhan's hand.
Minister Zhan looked at her series of operations and slapped the table again with a stern face:
"What are you doing? Is this an attitude of cooperation to solve the problem? Child's play!"< br>
“This incident is a fact. To set an example to others, I need to give everyone a reasonable explanation. I agree with this punishment.”
“What a good example to set an example to others!”
Minister Zhan leaned back in his chair and touched his chest with anger. He asked Lu Miao with sharp eyes:
"Do you think you are particularly magnanimous, capable, and calm? Let me tell you, you are. Nonsense! Childish!"
Lu Miao was silent.
In fact, I don’t know how to answer.
However, she did have some ideas about the alternative in this regard.
Minister Zhan was extremely angry. It could be seen that even though Lu Miao was cruel, he was not lenient in punishing him at all. He felt indescribably gratified.
Finally angry, Minister Zhan suppressed his emotions and sat up straight again:
"I already know about the shop in your home. In principle, this matter is not allowed. It is allowed, but it has not yet formed a large scale. It is only used to support the family. "It's okay."
"But if you didn't report it to the company, it will still be your fault."
Minister Zhan said "Director Lu of the Ministry of Information." The job badge with the character "X" was pushed back to Lu Miao, and her resignation application was rejected online.
At the same time, he stretched out his hand with his palm facing up and said:
"Give back the five-pointed star that I just awarded you."
"..."
A five-pointed star represents Two days off.
This time it was even more cruel than the first time, even the stars were not left for her.
Lu Miao hesitantly took out the medal and returned it, but did not pick up the work badge again.
Minister Zhan took a deep breath and looked at her.
As if he had passed the time of coercion and reprimanding her, his expression and attitude softened for the most part, and he said:
"What's wrong? Don't you really want to be this Director Lu?" (End of this chapter) )
