Chapter 213 Letter from Jiang Province
After two days of midterm exams, Gu Qingyu, Yang Shengnan and others walked towards the dormitory together.
Just as I passed by the dormitory manager's window, she called out to me, "Student Gu Qingyu, here are some letters for you. Please come over and sign for them."
"I'm here, Auntie!" Gu Qingyu said and walked towards the dormitory manager.
The dorm aunt pointed to the registration book on the table and said to Gu Qingyu, "There are seven letters in total. Please check them and sign here if there are no problems."
Gu Qingyu lowered her head and carefully checked everything. Seeing that there was no problem, she signed the registration book. "Thank you, Auntie. I'll take the letter back!"
Gu Qingyu took the letter, caught up with Yang Shengnan and the others in front, and then continued to walk upstairs.
Su Yue looked at Gu Qingyu holding several letters in her hand and felt curious. Most people would only receive one or two letters from home after school started.
But it was rare for someone like Gu Qingyu to receive seven or eight letters at once. Su Yue couldn't help but ask curiously, "Qingyu, why do you have so many letters?"
The others looked over curiously. Seeing this, Gu Qingyu smiled and explained, "These are all my colleagues from my previous workplace. They sent me so many letters because they wanted to consult me about something!"
After more than two months, the classmates still didn't know about Gu Qingyu's previous work experience. Now, after hearing Gu Qingyu say this, they couldn't help but become even more curious, "Then why did they all write to ask you?"
"Ahem, well, I used to be the factory director and secretary. Whenever they were unsure about something regarding the factory's development, they would write to me and ask for my opinion!"
After saying this, Gu Qingyu cleared her cough twice uncomfortably. She always felt that her words sounded a bit self-boasting, which made her quite embarrassed!
"What! The factory director and secretary?" Su Yue shouted in surprise.
"Qingyu, you're really keeping this a secret! You never told us that you were both the factory director and the secretary!"
"Wow, I didn't realize our Qingyu is such a strong woman!"
"Let's go, let's go back to the dormitory quickly and let Qingyu talk to us!" As they said that, several people surrounded Gu Qingyu and walked towards the dormitory.
When Gu Qingyu returned to the dormitory, she was surrounded by curious roommates and had to briefly talk about her experience in Xinhu.
"Qingyu, you are so awesome!" Xin Shuang said to Gu Qingyu with emotion after hearing this.
"Compared to you, I realized I really didn't contribute anything when I went to the countryside. No wonder the villagers don't like us educated youth!"
Su Yue, who was listening at the side, nodded in agreement and said, "I didn't think I was that bad before, but now that I compare myself to Qingyu, I find myself like a loser after going to the countryside!"
Gu Qingyu felt embarrassed by what they said and quickly said, "Well, I'm going to go home and rest for two days after the exam. I'm leaving now!"
As he spoke, Gu Qingyu packed a few clothes and stuffed them into his bag, picked up the letter on the table and slipped away.
Looking at Gu Qingyu who was walking so fast as if there was a wolf chasing her, Yang Shengnan couldn't help but tease her, "We are just speaking the truth, why is Qingyu still shy?"
When the others heard what Yang Shengnan said, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
When Gu Qingyu went downstairs, he seemed to hear the laughter of his roommates, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace again!
Oh my god…it’s so embarrassing to be praised by my roommates, run away!
Hu Qiang was talking to the person in front of him when he noticed someone else coming behind him. He looked back curiously and found that it was a girl with short hair.
So, he asked Gu Qingyu, who was still behind him, in a familiar manner, "Classmate, are you also here to run for the Student Union President?"
Gu Qingyu was stunned by this question. She was not running for the student union president, so why was she queuing here?
As if realizing that he had just asked a nonsense question, Hu Qiang smiled embarrassedly at Gu Qingyu.
Then he continued, "I was just curious to see you, a girl, queuing up!"
Gu Qingyu didn't understand what was so curious about this, so she asked calmly, "Are you discriminating against girls?"
When Hu Qiang heard Gu Qingyu's question, he quickly shook his head and said, "I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
Although Hu Qiang was a little disapproving of the fact that a girl like Gu Qingyu was running for the position of student union president together with these boys.
But he couldn't just admit it on the surface, otherwise wouldn't that bring bad luck upon himself?
As if realizing that Gu Qingyu was not someone to be trifled with, Hu Qiang did not dare to continue talking to her.
He was afraid that Gu Qingyu would say something shocking, which would embarrass her.
There were not many people in their line, and Gu Qingyu soon reached the end of the line. After carefully filling in the registration information, Gu Qingyu handed in the registration form.
"We're still in the recruitment phase. The official Student Union President election will be held after the midterm exams. We'll notify you a week in advance. You'll need to prepare a speech!"
Gu Qingyu nodded after hearing this and said to the staff, "Okay, I understand!"
In the following days, Gu Qingyu resumed her original routine and began to study hard. She did not forget that she had a bet with Dong Wenjun!
Time flies, and it is late November in the blink of an eye.
That morning, Gu Qingyu got up and prepared to go to the playground for a run as usual, but was stopped by Dong Wenjun who deliberately blocked her way.
"Is there something wrong?" Gu Qingyu looked at Dong Wenjun in confusion and asked.
"Nothing, just wanted to remind you that the midterm exam is tomorrow!"
"That's it? Then I know. Nothing else, I'm going to exercise!" After saying that, Gu Qingyu pushed away Dong Wenjun's hand and prepared to go out.
Dong Wenjun didn't expect Gu Qingyu to be so calm when she heard that the midterm exam was tomorrow. She couldn't help but say angrily, "Then you better do well in the exam. Don't cry if you lose!"
"Oh, why do I feel so good when I think about some people moving out of this dormitory in the future!" Dong Wenjun covered her mouth and laughed.
Gu Qingyu looked at Dong Wenjun, who was laughing wildly, and asked before leaving, "Are you so sure that you can do better than me in the exam?"
Dong Wenjun raised her head and said confidently, "Of course!"
Gu Qingyu looked at the other person's confident look and shook his head helplessly, "Okay, as long as you have confidence!"
After saying this, Gu Qingyu left the dormitory without waiting for the other party to reply.
Seeing this, the others didn't know what to say, so they simply picked up their books and went to the library to study.
As the saying goes, it is better to sharpen your sword before the battle, even if it is not quick. They should go and review.
Dong Wenjun looked at her roommates who had scattered like birds and beasts, and snorted with disdain, "They are all in cahoots with Gu Qingyu!"
After returning home, Gu Qingyu finally had time to carefully examine the letters in her hand. In addition to the letters from the leaders of the Red Star Food Factory, there was also a letter from Professor Ouyang!
Gu Qingyu was puzzled as to why Professor Ouyang suddenly wrote to her, so she put the letter from Red Star Food Factory aside and opened the letter from Professor Ouyang first.
In the letter, Professor Ouyang first briefly talked about the equipment transformation of the Red Star Food Factory, and then talked about the purpose of his letter to Gu Qingyu.
It turned out that not long after Gu Qingyu left the Red Star Food Factory, Professor Ouyang fell seriously ill due to the change of seasons. Feeling that his health was getting worse day by day, Professor Ouyang decided to return to Beijing to return to his roots.
Only when Gu Qingyu saw this did he realize that Professor Ouyang was actually from Beijing!
In the letter, Professor Ouyang asked Gu Qingyu to help check the current condition of their old house, and also to find a school for Ouyang Jing to attend.
Gu Qingyu wrote down the address of Ouyang's old house and planned to take advantage of the two days of rest to go over and check out the situation. As for the school, it was easy to handle. She could just attend the cram school where Jiang Mingyue and the others were.
Gu Qingyu planned to call Professor Ouyang back after visiting the old house tomorrow.
Putting Professor Ouyang's letter aside, Gu Qingyu opened several letters from the Red Star Food Factory.
The letter mainly said that after Gu Qingyu left, the leaders of the Economic and Trade Bureau were jealous of the development momentum of the Red Star Food Factory and repeatedly wanted to interfere with the operation of the Red Star Food Factory.
Although Gu Qingyu had filled the leadership team of the Red Star Food Factory before leaving, the power to appoint personnel has always been in the hands of the Economic and Trade Bureau.
Just three or four months later, the Economic and Trade Bureau had already placed three or four new people among the middle and senior management of the Red Star Food Factory.
Judging from the description in the letter, the other party's attitude is getting more and more intense. Gu Qingyu frowned when he saw this. This situation is really difficult to deal with!
This matter cannot be resolved in a short time, and Gu Qingyu has no good solution now, so he has to put it aside for now. But in general, the development momentum of Red Star Food Factory is getting better and better!
The remaining two or three letters were from Ping'an County, mainly in which Gu Lei and others asked Gu Qingyu about the mushroom food processing factory.
Due to the relaxation of policies during this period, Gu Lei and others noticed the changes in the market. They wanted to expand the current production scale, but were a little undecided for a while, so they wrote to Gu Qingyu for help.
Gu Qingyu didn't expect that his friends had such a high level of market sensitivity and could detect the changes in the outside world so quickly.
Gu Qingyu didn't plan to reply to the letter. She would call Gu Lei and the others tomorrow to encourage them to expand the production scale as soon as possible.
The next day, Gu Qingyu took the address of the Ouyang family's old house and came to Shuijing Hutong in the west of the city to look for the sect.
No. 128, Shuijing Hutong. After Gu Qingyu carefully checked the information on the note, he came to the gate of No. 128.
This is a small courtyard with two entrances, but the residents have built illegally in the courtyard, making it a mess.
According to the introduction in Professor Ouyang's letter, this house was taken away when he was sent down to the countryside, and was later rented out as public housing to homeless residents.
Later, after he was rehabilitated and returned to the city, the organization returned the property rights of the house to him. Due to health reasons, he recuperated at Jiang University and never went back to check on the condition of the house.
Gu Qingyu originally planned to go in and take a look, but looking at the traffic violation software in the yard, he could imagine what the situation was like inside.
After thinking about it, Gu Qingyu turned around and walked out, planning to go to the street office to ask what the current situation was.
At the Shuijing Hutong Street Sub-district Office, Gu Qingyu knocked on the door of the Housing Management Office. Beep, beep!
"Please come in!"
Gu Qingyu pushed the door open and walked in. There was only one middle-aged woman sitting in the office, so she smiled and walked over to him and asked, "Hello, I'm here on behalf of Professor Ouyang, the owner of Unit 128, to take care of the house issue!"
When Liu Mei heard Gu Qingyu's self-introduction, her heart skipped a beat. She said, why wouldn't someone come and live in such a nice house? Why did they come to her door?
Liu Mei warmly invited Gu Qingyu to sit down and asked, "Do you have the other party's power of attorney?"
Fortunately, Professor Ouyang was well prepared and left a letter of authorization for Gu Qingyu in the letter.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyu took out Professor Ouyang's letter and power of attorney from her bag and handed them to Liu Mei.
Liu Mei took the letter and power of attorney handed over by Gu Qingyu, checked them carefully, and then returned them to Gu Qingyu.
"From what the letter says, Professor Ouyang is planning to come back and retire?"
Gu Qingyu smiled and explained, "The professor is old now, so it's inevitable that he would like to return home. Besides, the educational environment in Beijing is much better than in other places, which is conducive to the children's learning!"
The two exchanged a few pleasantries about education before Gu Qingyu turned the conversation to the main topic, asking, "From what Professor Ouyang said, after he was rehabilitated, the state will take back the property rights of this old house."
"But when I passed by the old house just now, I found that it was still full of tenants. What's going on?"
When Liu Mei heard Gu Qingyu ask this, she quickly complained, "The people living in the yard now are all old tenants. They've lived here for so long, they've gotten used to it and don't want to vacate the house!"
"These people have elderly parents and young children to support. Our subdistrict office can't go too far, right? Otherwise, it will cause public outrage and that will be bad!"
"I read the letter and it seems Professor Ouyang only has two people, a grandfather and a grandson. How about I vacate the two rooms in the main house for them to live in, and rent the rest of the house to those people. From now on, the house will be handed over to Professor Ouyang. What do you think?"
So what?
Gu Qingyu was almost mad after hearing this. Why did Director Liu Mei always speak for those residents?
It was obvious that he wanted to continue occupying the house and not return it. Since the other party had sat on the wrong side of the wall, Gu Qingyu didn't plan to talk to him in a friendly manner anymore.
"Director Liu, is this how your subdistrict office does things?"
"As far as I know, for public rental housing like this where the property rights have been reclaimed, the government will arrange alternative accommodation for the residents!"
"Now they continue to occupy Professor Ouyang's house. Are they trying to get the best of both worlds?"
"Also, it's been over two years since the property rights were returned to Professor Ouyang. This means these people have been taking advantage of me for two years. Do I have the right to demand that they pay the rent for those two years?"
Liu Mei had initially thought that Gu Qingyu was young and could just let it go. Unexpectedly, Gu Qingyu opened her mouth and went straight to the point. What should she do?
