Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 761 What kind of reaction does she want from me?

Lu Qiaoge glanced at her and then politely looked away.

For people like Xia Yinghe, ignoring them is the best approach.

If you pay attention to her, she'll look at you with that knowing look.

She'll tell you with her eyes that she knows everything and understands everything. Just like now, she probably knows that she's been ostracized and sent to the cafeteria, and she definitely knows where she came from.

After all, she's going to live in this dorm, and she'll definitely investigate her three roommates' backgrounds thoroughly, down to their ancestors.

She probably looked down on her background, but she wouldn't show it.

After all, she is a respectable person and wouldn't do anything petty or undignified.

But she was young and not as composed as her parents. She also harbored some resentment towards people like herself, so she observed and examined herself while calculating her possible reactions.

So, what kind of reaction does she want from herself?

Her eyes welled up with tears of grievance?
Did he return to his dorm feeling utterly dejected?
Or perhaps they were ostracized and relegated to the canteen, feeling their lives were bleak and regretting being transferred to the State Administration of Foreign Trade?

They even force a smile to hide all their unhappiness and pretend nothing happened?

Given my current behavior, she will definitely think it's the latter.

They must have so much free time!
Lu Qiaoge slowly put down her handbag and then took out a box of candy.

Xia Yinghe narrowed her eyes. Where did this candy come from?
It's definitely not from China.

Because she had never seen it before, let alone eaten it.

Lu Qiaoge called out to her enthusiastically, "Come and have some candy, there are chocolate milk candies and fruit gummies."

Xia Yinghe gave Lu Qiaoge a meaningful look. Was she forcing a smile?

Is this how you cover everything up?
Lu Qiaoge really didn't know what she was thinking at this moment, mainly because she wasn't in the mood to pay too much attention.

Lu Qiaoge picked up the notes that Sang Juan had taken for her.

Then he asked Tong Niannian, "Is Sang Juan in the dormitory?"

"Yes, yes."

Lu Qiaoge grabbed a handful of candy and went to room 305.

It was already dusk, and the classroom lights were on.

No one chatted, no one gossiped, and no one even read leisure books; everyone was engrossed in their studies.

This batch of college students really has too many exam-taking geniuses.

Laziness is now looked down upon.

Just like every morning, before dawn, a lot of people gather under the streetlights on campus, and those people are memorizing English words.

At that moment, Sang Juan was looking at an English dictionary.

Seeing Lu Qiaoge enter, Sang Juan put down the English dictionary in her hand and took the handful of milk candies from Lu Qiaoge's hand without any hesitation.

She kept saying, "Your hands are too small. I wish they were as big as palm-leaf fans."

Lu Qiaoge pinched her cheek: "Dream on!"

However, Lu Qiaoge's voice wasn't loud either, because the other three female classmates were all studying in silence, without even looking up. Lu Qiaoge winked at her, and Sang Juan understood and whispered to Lu Qiaoge, "Xia Yinghe in your room has some connections. Be careful and don't talk about sensitive people or things in front of her."

At this point, Sang Juan added, "Tell those two idiots to stop asking around and to keep their mouths shut. Just say it was me who said it."

Lu Qiaoge nodded seriously: "Okay, I'll say it was you who said it."

Sang Juan hesitated for a moment, then said to Lu Qiaoge, "Don't say anything more. I'll remind them separately when I have time."

Lu Qiaoge didn't object: "Okay."

This girl is really fun.

As soon as Lu Qiaoge walked out of room 305, she heard the three girls who had been pretending to be quails cheer from inside the room. They must have gone to snatch the candy from Sang Juan's hand.

Lu Qiaoge returned to her dormitory with a smile on her face. The three girls were all studying. She took her class notes and then did all the exercises after class.

In just over half an hour, all the homework was finished.

Just as Lu Qiaoge's consciousness was about to enter the space, Xia Yinghe couldn't hold back any longer. She put down her pen and looked directly at Lu Qiaoge.

This time, Lu Qiaoge acknowledged her: "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something you need?"

Xia Yinghe was surprised that Lu Qiaoge responded to her, but she reacted quickly and said in a carefully chosen tone, "I heard from my elders yesterday that the Fifth and Fourth Divisions of the State Administration of Foreign Trade have been dissolved. Didn't you work in the Fifth Division? Which division have you been assigned to now?"

Before Lu Qiaoge could speak, Tong Niannian and Tao Zhuting suddenly looked up.

These two people naturally knew that Lu Qiaoge was an employee of the State Administration of Foreign Trade, who had just been transferred there, and that she could go back to her unit when necessary, but spent most of her time studying at school.

Her workplace was the Fifth Division, but now that the Fifth Division has been dissolved, what will happen to Lu Qiaoge?
Oh dear, if Lu Qiaoge weren't an official of the State Administration of Foreign Trade, would she be so arrogant?

Tong Niannian glanced at Lu Qiaoge secretly, and then dismissed her foolish idea.

So he hurriedly asked with concern, "Where were you assigned?"

Lu Qiaoge didn't give them a chance to guess and said directly and frankly, "I was assigned to the large canteen under the administration department, and I'm currently the canteen manager's assistant."

Tong Niannian and Tao Zhuting exchanged a quick glance.

The main canteen... it sounds like a practical place, but it's still worlds apart from the five prestigious places that everyone envies and that represent a promising future and respectability.

Xia Yinghe's mind was quick to react. Her face immediately showed regret, but her words carried a special meaning: "Even if you're a cafeteria assistant, it's not related to what you studied. With your talent and status, you should be in a core position like the first, second, or third department..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qiaoge's smile gradually faded, and her clear eyes stared directly at Xia Yinghe. Her tone instantly shifted to one of lecture: "Yinghe, you can't have that kind of thinking. Our country is like a large machine. Gears come in different sizes, and screws come in different types, but if any one of them is missing, the machine won't turn. Wherever you work, it's all necessary for revolutionary work, all contributing to socialist construction. How can you distinguish between the core and the periphery?"

Xia Yinghe: "..."

Her expression stiffened slightly.

She thought that what she had just said would stir up Lu Qiaoge's resentment and grievances.

I never expected her to say such high-sounding words.

So either this person genuinely doesn't care, or they're just too good at pretending.

This time, Xia Yinghe didn't go to see Lu Qiaoge. She knew when to stop, otherwise it would be embarrassing if she were really embarrassed.

Tong Niannian and Tao Zhuting looked at Lu Qiaoge with admiration. Although Xia Yinghe always smiled at them, they just couldn't get close to her.

Despite Lu Qiaoge's frequent lecturing, they still consider him a trustworthy friend.
