Chapter 459: Chapter 459

He Juanjuan actually knew about some entanglements of the previous generation.

But she had never met Wu Qianyun, so naturally all her impressions of her came sporadically from what Meng Siqi inadvertently let slip, though such occasions were extremely rare.

Meng Siqi wasn’t a fool, and she wouldn’t constantly talk about Wu Qianyun, who was once Han Xianglan.

So He Juanjuan approached cheerfully, calling out "Grandpa" along with Qiao Qingyu, and then calling out to her aunt.

This way of addressing them wasn’t problematic.

However, He Juanjuan was about to get on the vehicle and quickly exchanged a few words and waved as she squeezed into the crowd entering the station.

Then Qiao Qingyu first went with her grandparents to their residence in Xichuan.

It wasn’t an apartment building, but rather a common type of construction similar to a courtyard house, though it was not quite like the courtyard houses in Beijing—there was a main house with five rooms and wing rooms on both sides.

It’s a typical northwest courtyard, but this place was a sanatorium area, with an elegant environment, which counted as a nice spot in this sandy belt of the Northwest.

Of course, the environment had changed now, so it wasn’t that special anymore.

They hadn’t bought the house; it was a gift from the local government.

After settling both of them in, Qiao Qingyu wasn’t in a rush to go home. School had already started, and she headed back to the university.

Her school was a legitimate undergraduate institution, hence it was a four-year program.

Li Bo’s health had almost recovered, but he had chosen to take a break from school, so she would have to spend another year in university.

Currently, Li Bo was interning at a base farm and hadn’t returned yet.

Qiao Qingyu planned to sort things out here quickly and then go back to hurry up with the autumn harvest.

Therefore, she wasn’t handling any of the Student Union’s responsibilities anymore, but she hadn’t expected the vice president to come looking for her upon learning of her return.

He came to complain, "Qiao, you could have continued as president until graduation. Look at the current president, he only cares about himself and completely neglects whether our Student Union can develop in a healthy and orderly manner."

Qiao Qingyu frowned, "If you have concerns, you should speak with the teachers, not me. I really can’t say anything in my current position."

Qiao Qingyu didn’t even ask what the issue was.

Liang Aiguo was quite disappointed, then stood up and said, "I just don’t want to see the achievements of your hard work over the past few years result in the Student Union earning a bad reputation. But seeing as you are indifferent, never mind, I won’t bother you with this anymore."

And with that, he turned and left, visibly upset.

Qiao Qingyu glanced around; she really hadn’t heard about any issues, and since she was no longer involved, she didn’t have time to pay attention to the Student Union’s affairs.

But Liang Aiguo said that the new Student Union President was only looking after himself.

Well, in what way was he looking after himself?

Qiao Qingyu shook her head and decided to focus on preparing her graduation thesis and other course wrap-ups.

She also planned to apply to the school for a leave of two to three months.

Then it would be winter break, during which she likely wouldn’t spend much time at the school.

Qiao Qingyu, carrying her books, strolled leisurely through the campus. In Xichuan this September, the leaves of the poplar trees had turned golden yellow, falling to the ground with every gust of wind.

The grass on the campus was still a vibrant green.

Not just at school, other places were nice too.

Xichuan, under Lu Ye’s management, had done very well. Lu Ye had not only received recognition from the province but also commendations from higher up.

His position had been promoted by two levels now, and he was managing more matters. It had been a long time since she had seen him.

Just as Qiao Qingyu was thinking about him, she casually looked up, and who else could the person hurriedly approaching from the distance be but Lu Ye?

Qiao Qingyu smiled at Lu Ye, "Director Lu, congratulations, congratulations."

By now, Lu Ye had already risen to the level of a bureau director.

For someone his age, this was almost unimaginable. To reach this point required not only experience but also a robust work capability among many other aspects.

Without enough experience, one wouldn’t be promoted.

Moreover, thanks to the unique natural environment of Xichuan, Lu Ye had indeed climbed up the ranks because of it.

Lu Ye’s face turned red as he hastily said, "Alright, alright, we’re old friends now, don’t tease me here. Besides, if I could have made it this far, you would be the first person I need to thank."

"How would you thank me?"

Qiao Qingyu asked casually.

"Well, I’ll take you out for dinner."

"Sure."

Qiao Qingyu quickly agreed. She was now also interested in understanding Xichuan’s current situation regarding greenification management, and how was Xichuan interfacing with Gelle State now?

The interactions were all between officials now; even knowing Gelle State’s sand and dust control was more urgent than Xichuan’s, she still had to wait for news.

It was unknown when it started, but various noodle houses, restaurants, and even clothing and laundry shops had sprung up one after another around the school.

Everyone knew that students’ money was the easiest to earn, so there were the most people doing business around major campuses.

This time Lu Ye had come to the school primarily to review the files of some students assigned to him, students who had graduated in the same class as Qiao Qingyu and who majored in relevant areas.

Of course, they were all outstanding, but Lu Ye felt he still needed to personally select them. His unit sounded fancy, but to be honest, he seldom spent time in the office. In the past, people used to call him a "pretty boy," but now his face had tanned considerably from the sun.

So those who weren’t resilient couldn’t take up those spots.

While eating, he jokingly said so, and Qiao Qingyu glanced at him, "It’s not that dark, a wheatish complexion is pretty normal."

Qiao Qingyu then asked Lu Ye, "So, did you need me for anything else?"

"One reason was to see you and the other was, if you had time, to help me review these people. After all, you’ve worked at the Student Union for three years and have such good connections at the school that you might know more than the vice chancellor."

"Lu Ye, surely you didn’t say the same to the vice chancellor?"

"I’m not that foolish."

Lu Ye handed the file bag to Qiao Qingyu, knowing what she liked to eat, he ordered four dishes and two bowls of rice.

He glimpsed at the seriously reading Qiao Qingyu, pursed his lips slightly, and then picked up another file bag to start reading.

Qiao Qingyu read quickly; she told Lu Ye everything she knew, and Lu Ye then selectively eliminated a few candidates. Both of them worked efficiently; by the time the food arrived, they had already dealt with these tasks.

After eating, Lu Ye drove Qiao Qingyu back to school.

This time Qiao Qingyu had also obtained some information on sand control in Gelle State.

After sorting it out, Qiao Qingyu put everything into her handbag.

Liu Hong and Liu Min, who were best friends, were interning at the local Bureau of Agriculture. No one was left in their dormitory except for Li Bo, who was still at the base and hadn’t come back.

It seemed, he must be very busy.
