That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1020 My parents are supporting you!
The news that Niu Hongzhang broke the cup spread throughout the entire management of the Light Automobile Company within half a day. All the employees who had some connections knew that Li Ye and Niu Hongzhang had a falling out.

Lu Zhizhang entered Li Ye's office, closed the door and asked quietly: "What should we do now? Do we need to make any arrangements?"

Li Ye smiled and asked, "How do you want to arrange it? We are not going to rebel, do we really need to sharpen our weapons?"

Lu Zhizhang looked at Li Ye for a few seconds, then sighed and said, "You are just too careless. Lao Niu is a very ambitious person and will not suffer any loss willingly. General Manager Ma has only been in office for a few months, so we still need some time."

Lu Zhizhang's words were rather blunt, and really had a hint of treason.

Ma Zhaoxian still has the word "Agency" above his head, and Niu Hongzhang is the person sent by the higher-ups to restore order. What will the higher-ups think if he starts to shake internally at this moment?
This is not conducive to the established policy of the first branch factory of "storing grain and slowly becoming king"!
No matter how powerful Li Ye is, he is only 25 years old this year. It is impossible to promote him to the position of the top, second or third in command. He will not get much benefit after all the efforts.

Even if another half a year passed, the situation Li Ye would face would be very different.

Half a year later, the two new production lines must have been put into operation. If the benefits are good, the label of "代" on Ma Zhaoxian's head should be gone.

By that time, Ma Zhaoxian will have established a firm foothold, and he will pamper Li Ye for a few more years before he can be considered "fully fledged".

By that time, Li Ye will be old enough, have the necessary qualifications, and have achieved the necessary results. It will be a natural outcome and no one will object.

But now that Li Ye and Niu Hongzhang are banging the table and smashing cups in the office, Niu Hongzhang will definitely report this to his higher-ups and charge Li Ye with the crime of "being young and reckless, and disobeying management." He already holds that power in his hands.

However, since Lu Zhizhang is tied to Li Ye, of course he has to respond actively, so he said "how to arrange it". This seems like he is really going to start a fight!

Li Ye waved his hands and said, "It's not as serious as you say. I just had a few words with him. How can he fire me? Old Lu, don't worry. The sky won't fall."

Lu Zhizhang said seriously, "We still need to do some work. I will sort out some information now. If the higher-ups really want to ask about this, we can't lose our composure."

"."

Li Ye couldn't help but laugh when he saw Lu Zhizhang's nervous expression, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood his worries.

The main factory got into such a big mess last year, and sending Niu Hongzhang down now has sparked internal conflicts again. So it is not impossible that for the sake of the overall situation, the higher-ups will send other people in.

By that time, the situation will become even more complicated.

"We can't be afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind."

Li Ye sighed and said, "Let me tell you, Lao Lu, I used to be concerned about this and that, fearing that things would get out of hand and escalate the conflict. But after I went crazy today, I'm not afraid anymore. What else can he do? What else can he do to me?"

"."

Seeing that Li Ye was being a bit reckless, Lu Zhizhang felt a little bitter in his mouth.

[You are the boss, I can't do anything to you. What about me? If I take the blame, I am not a human being? It's not easy for me to get to where I am today~]

"Didi-di-di-di-di~"

Li Ye's mobile phone suddenly rang. After answering the call, he heard the voice of his mother-in-law, Teacher Ke.

"Li Ye, come to my house for dinner tonight!"

"what?"

"What? Get off work early and come here at 4:30 sharp. I'm waiting for you to cook!"

"Hey, okay, okay."

Li Ye didn't even have time to react before Teacher Ke said just a few words to him.

Lu Zhizhang came over and whispered, "What's wrong, Li Ye? Look at your expression."

"You heard it, so you heard it! Why are you looking at my expression? Can you see my expression?"

Li Ye cursed at Lu Zhizhang with a smile, and then said jokingly: "Huh, maybe things got a little out of hand today."

Today is not Sunday, why did Teacher Ke ask me to come over for dinner? And he was asked to arrive at 4:30?

Is he really being punished to go over early and cook?
Alas, Li Ye has few people he is afraid of in his life, except for Wen Leyu, Teacher Ke, and half of Fu Guiru.
It's all because of the woman.

. . . . . . . . .

Li Ye left work early and went to pick up his young wife first.

There is no other way. My wife is also a golden shaded cat, so I can give myself courage by pulling her along.

After Wen Leyu got in the car, Li Ye first told her what happened today, and then said miserably: "I'm telling you! If your mother scolds me too harshly today, you'd better hold back a little and save some face for me. I'm a father now, I have to have some dignity~"

Wen Leyu rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "How do you know my mother is going to scold you? Maybe she wants to praise you?"

"praise me?"

Li Ye thought about it doubtfully, then shook his head vigorously.

Your parents have paved the way for you, allowing you to transform into the new generation of successor steadily and step by step. But at an important juncture, you couldn't control your temper and threw a tantrum. Can your family still praise you?
"You think too much."

Wen Leyu smiled and comforted Li Ye, "I must have guests at my house today, otherwise why would I ask you to come over at 4:30 to cook? Just sit still when the time comes, okay?"

Li Ye blinked, as if he had guessed something.

But he still asked in a low voice: "Wife, what do you mean?"

Wen Leyu rolled his eyes and said, "Don't you understand this? I'll support you!"

"."

. . . . . . . . . .

The young wife's judgment was very accurate. After Li Ye arrived at the Wen family, he was thrown into the kitchen by the smiling Teacher Ke to cook. At around five o'clock, Secretary Xue came to the door.

He came with his wife and children. As soon as he entered the door, he greeted Wen Qingsheng and Teacher Ke’s brother and sister-in-law, as familiarly and naturally as if he was visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year.

Wen Qingsheng sat on the sofa like a grown man and said, "My son-in-law is cooking today. You can all try it. It's the cooking of a real chef."

Xue Bu smiled and said, "Are you showing off to me? You are the only one who found a good son-in-law, right?"

Wen Qingsheng laughed and said, "When it comes to raising a son, I dare not say that I am better than you, but when it comes to choosing a son-in-law, you will never be able to catch up with me in your lifetime."

Xue Bu laughed and scolded, "Isn't that nonsense? I don't have a daughter, otherwise I would find a son-in-law to show off to you. Besides, this is the son-in-law chosen by my sister-in-law, what does it have to do with you?"

"." Wen Qingsheng was not angry after being scolded, and shouted to the kitchen: "Li Ye, are the dishes ready? I've boasted today, if the taste is not right..."

"No, no, the taste is especially good today."

Li Ye skillfully took the stir-fried dishes out of the pot and turned off the fire for the stew, and everything was ready.

Then Li Ye and Wen Leyu began to serve the dishes. When they saw Mr. Xue, they smiled and greeted him, "Hello, Mr. Xue."

"What are you shouting about?"

Wen Qingsheng interrupted Li Ye unhappily, pointed at the Xue family and said, "In the future, when there are no outsiders around, call him uncle, this one call Aunt Luo, and that one call Brother Xiaowei, he is a few years older than you."

"Hey, hello uncle, hello Aunt Luo, hello Brother Xiaowei."

Li Ye greeted them continuously, secretly sighing in his heart, "Age is really a disadvantage", and he had to call everyone brother when he met them.

However, Li Ye did not realize that children of his age were no longer qualified to play with him.

At some banquets, you cannot just sit at the table casually. Even if you sit at the end, you are still qualified to start eating.

Brother Xiaowei was very easy-going. He stood up and served the dishes from the kitchen with Wen Leyu and Li Ye. He also quickly distributed bowls and chopsticks to everyone. At least on the surface, he seemed to be a very easy-going person.

After the food and wine were served, there was no more formality. The men picked up their glasses and drank, while the women chatted and laughed.

Li Ye was a little nervous. Teacher Ke specially called him over today. Could it be that he just wanted to chat and build up the relationship?

Thinking of Wen Leyu's words, it is not impossible.

When everyone sits down to have a meal, it means "you have to take care of my little kid", which is also a disguised form of support.

But Li Ye soon realized that he was superficial.

The two families were chatting about family matters, and the topic turned to Brother Xiao Wei.

Teacher Ke smiled and said, "Your Xiaowei just came back from the grassroots last year, right? He suffered for three years down there, and he looks different now."

Xiao Wei smiled and said, "Aunt Ke, I didn't suffer that much. I just felt a little uncomfortable in the first year, but the next two years were very easy."

Wen Qingsheng said: "You are being too modest. If most people were in your situation, they would have felt very aggrieved. But you have worked so hard for three years, so you know the benefits of suffering first and then sweetness."

Li Ye couldn't get a word in and could only listen with his ears pricked up. As he listened, he began to understand what was going on.

This Xiao Weige works in a large state-owned enterprise that ranks high. He started out in the head office, and then took the initiative to apply for a grassroots position where no one else wanted to go.

After arriving at the grassroots level, Xiao Wei did not put on airs. He ate, lived and worked with the workers. Everyone gave him a thumbs up. Then the grassroots unit gave him the title of model worker and a lot of advanced honors.

Three years later, when this guy returned to the headquarters, his delicate face was tanned. The leaders praised him for being simple and honest like a cadre. With such praise, he was promoted continuously and became the youngest department-level cadre.
He achieved a goal that others would never reach in their lifetime in just a few years.

The problem is that no one can find fault with the promotion speed, and most people approve of it.

Because Xiao Weige is a practical man who has worked his way up from the grassroots level. He is not a delicate flower that has been forced to grow in a greenhouse. He is a practical man who has truly experienced hardships.

Within large enterprises, the department level is a huge threshold. Once you cross it, you'll have a firm foothold, and becoming a senior official is just around the corner. It's already a tangible possibility that you'll be able to enter the bureau before the age of 40.

Everyone sat together and talked about it as if it were a few jokes, but Li Ye figured out the key based on some details everyone said.

Why is no one willing to take that grassroots position that no one wants to take?
When other people go down there to suffer, they experience sweetness later on, but when you go down there to suffer, your mouth is full of dirt. Your stomach may be full as spring goes by and the east comes, but it has no nutrition and cannot satisfy your hunger.

Xiao Weige's story seems to be a case of a young man's counterattack and rise to the top, but in fact, he knew when to endure hardships, when to be humble, and what honors to receive, and each step was carried out on time.

When someone has a perfect plan for you even when you have to endure hardships, think about what chances ordinary people have?
Why are ordinary people unwilling to endure hardships and unwilling to start from the front line? Because they are afraid of not being able to get out of the front line and afraid of suffering all their lives.

This is just like the son of a billionaire starting out in a workshop. If you can do it, you will be able to do it without complaint and remain calm.

So why are we talking about this now?

Li Ye watched Wen Qingsheng cross his legs and drink noisily with Xue Bu, and he seemed to be able to hear the hidden meaning of his father-in-law's words.

[What's wrong, brother Xue? I sent my son-in-law to your place, and this is how you take care of him? Look at how the child has been bullied? Are you still brothers? ]

"."

When Li Ye got married, Xue Bu's father arrived earlier than him, because Wen Qingsheng's father was an old brother of his. After Wen Qingsheng's father passed away, the elders took the initiative to come forward to help calm the situation. This is an attitude.

Wen Leyu told Li Ye that the two families were old friends, and that Uncle Xue and Wen Qingsheng grew up together as brothers when they were young, and they had a good personal relationship.

A few years ago, the Light Automobile Company had difficulties in transformation, and COFCO, where Wen Qingsheng worked, invested money and provided real help.

After Li Ye arrived at the Light Automobile Company, he raised funds and found foreign exchange, introduced technology to expand production, and created a branch factory as a model of reform. He made both contributions and hard work.

So whether for public or private reasons, Wen Qingsheng felt that Li Ye should not be treated unfairly by Xue's troops.

But Old Xue also has something to say!
Friendship is friendship, work is work. This is not a private company. Do you think one person has the final say?

So doesn't this just bring up Brother Xiao Wei?

[Big brother, look at this, look at this, this is my own son, and he had to go to the grassroots level to endure hardships and grievances before he could be promoted. Your son-in-law is really not at a disadvantage, which makes it very difficult for me now! ]

So Teacher Ke and Wen Qingsheng invited Uncle Xue and his family to dinner to support Li Ye, and they said so much to wake Li Ye up.

[The suffering you are going through now is not in vain, and the injustice you have suffered is not in vain. When you rise to the top, there will be plenty of opportunities for revenge and venting your anger. Why are you in such a hurry now? ]

To be honest, Li Ye was quite touched.

It's not easy for a junior like you to have others explain things to you.

If you are in Lao Xue’s position, what would it matter if he doesn’t explain to you?
But although he was touched, Li Ye felt that he was misunderstood.

So he picked up the wine glass and toasted Xue Bu: "Uncle Xue, today, because the Japanese fool had bad intentions, I made a fool of myself regardless of the occasion. Fortunately, you helped me on the spot, otherwise it would be a mess. I'll drink first."

"."

"Does the stupid Japanese have bad intentions?"
