Chapter 134 I think I saw Uncle Lu
Xiao Qian Yue's words nearly scared Zhuang Qingxiang out of her wits. She instinctively asked, "What did you say?"
Xiao Qianyue tilted her head, looking extremely troubled.
"I think I saw Uncle Lu sleeping on the kang (a heated brick bed) last night, right next to my mother."
Zhuang Qingxiang's heart pounded, and she quickly said, "How could that be? No way! Is Yueyue dreaming?"
"Is it a dream?" Xiao Qianyue was unsure.
Zhuang Qingxiang said firmly, "It's a dream! How could Uncle Lu possibly sleep on the kang (heated brick bed)? Don't think such nonsense."
Xiao Qianyue nodded as if she understood but not quite.
She was probably just imagining things. She always thought Uncle Lu could sleep on the kang (heated brick bed), but her mother said only the whole family could sleep together on the kang. What a pity…
Zhuang Qingxiang calmed the child down, but glared angrily at Lu Congyue.
Lu Congyue was confused, but he was wise enough not to provoke her. He didn't even dare to say anything more than that.
It wasn't until after breakfast, when he took Xiaoqian Yue to kindergarten, that he asked, "Yueyue, what's wrong with your mother? She's been acting like she's on fire all morning."
"No, Mother didn't take any gunpowder," Xiao Qianyue said earnestly.
Lu Congyue sighed and patted her little head: "Then why is your mother angry?"
A guilty look appeared on Xiao Qianyue's face.
Looking around and seeing no one, she gestured for Lu Congyue to bend down and whispered in his ear, "It's Yueyue having a bad dream, and Mother is upset."
"Daydreaming?"
"Um... I said I saw Uncle Lu sleeping on the kang last night, right next to Mom. Mom said I was imagining things and having wild dreams, and told me not to tell anyone." Little Qian Yue pouted, feeling wronged. "But I can't control my dreams..."
Lu Congyue: "..."
Did the child get up in the middle of the night last night?
He slept so soundly last night, holding Zhuang Qingxiang in his arms, that he wasn't even disturbed. This... this...
"Yueyue." He picked up the little girl and said seriously, "You were just dreaming, it's okay, but you absolutely mustn't tell anyone, understand?"
"Can't Teacher Sun tell us either?" Xiao Qianyue asked.
Lu Congyue broke out in a cold sweat: "No, this kind of thing can only be told to your mother and Uncle Lu. If others find out, they'll misunderstand your mother, and you don't want people to gossip about her, right?"
Xiao Qianyue immediately nodded and covered her mouth, indicating that she would not tell anyone.
After sending Xiao Qianyue to kindergarten, Lu Congyue breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to go back and explain to Zhuang Qingxiang so that she wouldn't be angry, but how could he explain it?
No wonder I've been getting glared at all this morning, sigh.
That's it, Zhuang Qingxiang will definitely not allow him to sleep on the kang anymore.
Lu Congyue went to his office with a heavy heart.
He had barely arrived at his office when the office director rushed over, asking with a serious expression, "Director Lu, are you being transferred?"
Lu Congyue was taken aback: "What did you say?"
"I just received news that you are being transferred to the capital."
Lu Congyue stood up abruptly, his face icy cold: "What nonsense are you spouting? How come I didn't know I was being transferred to the capital?"
The office director was immediately bewildered: "You didn't know? How is that possible? They said your transfer order has already been issued in the provincial capital... Could there be a mistake? But how could there be a mistake in something like this?"
"Don't worry about this, I'll go ask about it." Lu Congyue waved his hand with a furrowed brow.
The office director did not leave immediately. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Director Lu, you founded this factory. It has only been in formal production and operation for a short time. You can't just abandon us and leave now."
"I know, I won't leave!" Lu Congyue said firmly.
Despite saying that, the office director was still feeling uneasy.
There's absolutely no way this could be wrong; Director Lu is really going to be promoted.
This is good for Director Lu, but it may not be so for their factory. Who knows what kind of temperament and ability the new director will have?
These people are used to working with Director Lu, and if someone else comes in, they'll have to readjust, which will disrupt their work too much.
Although Lu Congyue instructed that this matter not be spread, several people in the office knew about it, and they were all somewhat dazed.
Lu Congyue sat in his office for a while before picking up the phone and dialing a number.
Lin Wei's father, Lin Yi, is his direct superior, so we need to ask him about this matter first.
When the call connected and he introduced himself, Lin Yi's voice was cold: "Director Lu actually wants to see me? That's strange. I thought you'd never need my help in this lifetime."
Lu Congyue frowned and patiently said, "Director Lin, I called today to ask you if I have a transfer order? To transfer me to Beijing?"
"What?" Lin Yi was taken aback. "Who said that? When did it happen?"
Judging from the tone, he didn't know? Lu Congyue breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking that the office director had really made a mistake.
"Director Lin doesn't know about this? It seems to be a rumor. Then it's alright." Lu Congyue said politely and hung up the phone.
Lin Yi was about to ask for clarification when the call was hung up, which made him so angry that he almost cursed.
These days, because his daughter was arrested and investigated, he is too ashamed to face anyone and has taken half a month of sick leave to stay at home.
Fortunately, everything is alright now, so he returned to work after his leave. Who would have thought that the first phone call he received upon returning to work would be from Lu Congyue?
"A transfer order?" Lin Yi muttered to himself, and immediately went out to find someone to inquire about the situation.
As it turned out, there really was such a transfer order.
Lin Yi felt a headache coming on.
If he had known Lu Congyue was going to be transferred to the capital, his tone would have been better.
Although he's very popular in the provincial capital, he'll be nothing in Beijing. But Lu Congyue will be backed by the Lu family in Beijing, and he'll definitely thrive there. He might even surpass him by a large margin.
"Director Lin, should we give the transfer order to Lu Congyue now?" someone asked.
Lin Yi gripped the transfer order, wanting nothing more than to tear it up.
Unfortunately, he still had his senses and couldn't do that.
"Give it to him...!" Lin Yi said through gritted teeth. "Don't ruin his future! Oh, and give him a call to let him know first."
So, just as Lu Congyue received the news from Lin Yi that there was no transfer order, he soon received another message: the transfer order was real, and he was told to hurry up and hand over his work, and try to report to the capital within a month.
After receiving the call, Lu Congyue's face turned extremely gloomy. He immediately dialed the number of the Lu family in Beijing and wanted to speak with Lu Sheng.
The person who answered the phone was not Lu Sheng, but Guan Jing.
"Congyue, do you need to speak with your father? I can pass on the message." Guan Jing's voice remained gentle, as if they truly had a harmonious relationship.
"There's no need to relay the message; asking you directly will make no difference," Lu Congyue said coldly. "What's the deal with the transfer order?"
"Oh, is that all?" Guan Jing chuckled. "Cong Yue, your father really went to great lengths for you this time, so you must remember this kindness! Come back quickly. Your father is getting old and just wants the family to be reunited and to see you and Guoqiang often. This time, he didn't even care about Guoqiang and arranged a very good position for you. Don't delay him."
