That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1025: Thousand-year-old foxes are all demons
Li Ye would definitely not attend any Spring Festival Gala, and Li Ye also believed that this matter would most likely come to nothing, and Niu Hongzhang was purely wishful thinking.

Because Tao Xin had no ability to add the name of the Light Automobile Company to the program schedule of the Spring Festival Gala.

But a few days later, Lu Zhizhang brought the news that "everything went well".

"This morning, Lao Niu called and told Ge Qiang and the others not to go to work before the Spring Festival and to focus on preparing for the Spring Festival Gala. He also asked us to send a car to meet them."

Li Ye touched his chin and asked in confusion: "Old Lu, you said that Lao Niu was criticizing breakdancing one foot, and then strongly supported it the next foot. With this sharp turn of 180 degrees, doesn't he feel awkward?"

"I'm also quite puzzled. Although he keeps saying that for the benefit of the unit, personal preferences are insignificant, but such an abrupt turn of events doesn't fit his style!"

Lu Zhizhang was also very confused. Although many people who climbed to the top of the mountain were acting masters, with various masks in their pockets, they could show you their unique skill of "face changing" anytime and anywhere.

But is Niu Hongzhang, who rides a 28-inch bicycle to work, the type who can be flexible in everything? Isn't he afraid of being laughed at by the factory workers?
In just the past few days, there have been various versions of rumors circulating in the factory.

Even if the name of the Light Automobile Company was on the Spring Festival Gala, Niu Hongzhang could get some benefits, but Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang both felt it was not worth it.

First of all, this favor from the TV station is not a small one. Niu Hongzhang must have used his own connections. In addition, Niu Hongzhang has always presented himself as a serious and rigid person, but this time he changed like a fence-sitter. The loss of face is immeasurable.

“Tuk-tuk-tuk~”

Just when the two were wondering, Lao Wan, the head of the finance department of the head office, suddenly knocked on the door and came in.

Lao Wan said with a smile: "Oh, Lao Lu, you are here as expected. I went to your office just now and there was no one there. I guessed that you were with Director Li."

Li Ye glanced at Lao Wan and said calmly, "So, Chief Wan, are you going to look for Lao Lu? Or are you going to look for me?"

Lao Wan was stunned. He felt a little angry and ashamed at Li Ye's coldness.

Li Ye had just been in the factory for two years and was a complete newcomer. However, he spoke so arrogantly in front of a senior employee like me, which was really infuriating.

But there must be a cause for every effect. Why does Li Ye dislike me?
It’s because of the dividends from a branch factory.

As long as a branch factory is profitable, it will pay dividends to the main factory every month, and the dividends will be paid in advance three months later.
At the end of each year, this dividend becomes even more important. Last year, due to poor coordination at the head office, employees caused trouble, and in the end one of the branch factories made up a sum of money to deal with it.

And now there are still 20 days until the Spring Festival! When I, the chief financial officer, come here, people think I am here to collect dividends. Isn't that embarrassing?

Lao Wan is not here to ask for dividends today, but
He smiled helplessly and said, "I came here today to discuss something with you two. This matter cannot be discussed without you two."

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that Lao Wan was not here to ask for dividends.

Lu Zhizhang asked Lao Wan to sit down and asked, "Lao Wan, please sit down first. What's the matter so serious?"

Lao Wan said: "Ge Qiang and his friends are going to be on the Spring Festival Gala. You all know this, right? Logically speaking, with Ge Qiang and his friends' dancing skills, they should be on the Spring Festival Gala.
But different places have different rules. You can’t get on the Spring Festival Gala just by your ability. It also depends on opportunities and fate.

"We arrived late this time. Other people's programs were about to be finalized. It would be very difficult to add people at the last minute. Secretary Niu was lucky to have a great relationship, but relationships are relationships, and the sponsorship fee is indispensable."

"."

Li Ye finally understood Lao Wan's intention.

He and Lu Zhizhang exchanged a glance, then asked Lao Wan, "Director Wan, how much is the sponsorship fee?"

Lao Wan smiled awkwardly and said, "Because of our relationship, they didn't ask for much, just 400,000."

Good guy.

Li Ye exclaimed, "What a great guy!"

[I thought what kind of relationship was so powerful! Turns out it’s money power! ]

This is not the era of decades later when there will be many top names on the list, and 400,000 is a huge sum of money no matter where it is placed.

Now, Ge Qiang and others only need to jump around and show their faces in a group dance program, and they have to pay 400,000 yuan. Even decades later, those who bring their own money into the group will not be so generous.

Just now, Lao Wan said that he had something to do with Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang, which probably meant that the first branch factory would bleed a lot of money.

Li Ye remained silent.

Generally speaking, this kind of talking and Tai Chi is what Lu Zhizhang is good at, while Li Ye's style is fierce, crisp and fast. If he can't stop, he might hurt the other person.

Lu Zhizhang hissed and said, "The main factory's performance this year seems to be good! It's not impossible to buy an advertisement for 400,000 yuan."

Lao Wan grinned and thought to himself, "If the main factory paid for it, I would come all the way here to see you two give me the cold shoulder."

"Old Lu, what's the good of what you said? This incident was caused by the first branch factory. Ge Qiang who appeared on TV is also an employee of the first branch factory. How can we ask the main factory to pay?"

"Old Wan, do you want us to pay?"

Lu Zhizhang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "I understand. Will the name of our first branch be written on the TV cast list?"

[You wish! ]

Lao Wan is also an expert at quarreling, and he said with a smile: "Lao Lu, does the first branch have a proper name?
Besides, if we really put the name of a branch on it, it would be hard to bear. We are all a family, and on this day of family reunion, we can’t let people see our conflicts, right?”

"That's not possible, that's definitely not possible, but it's just like a family, whoever is the head of the family takes charge, a branch factory doesn't even have a proper name."

Lu Zhizhang was also good at quarreling and pulling each other around. He started arguing with Lao Wan, and it took a long time for the two of them to decide who was the winner.

But if he couldn't tell who was better, he couldn't come up with the money. Lao Wan was anxious to use the money, but he actually had no way out.

"Hey, my two factory directors, we are all for the benefit of the company. We are not taking money from your pockets. Besides, they said that they are willing to let Director Li be the lead dancer of a dance group. This is an opportunity to show off in front of the people of the whole country."

"I don't want this opportunity."

Li Ye interrupted Lao Wan and said disdainfully: "I advise you not to have any ideas about me. My family doesn't agree."

"Your family doesn't agree?"

Lao Wan said with a smile: "Director Li, didn't you tell your family that this is an important task for the factory?"

Li Ye rolled his eyes, pointed at the calligraphy on the wall, and said calmly: "My mission is there, and I have a clear conscience."

"."

Lao Wan pursed his lips and said nothing.

The calligraphy on Li Ye's office has now spread throughout the entire unit. Some people say that he is overestimating his abilities, and some people say that he has no idea, but no one dares to say that the assignment was wrong.

Who dares to say it is wrong to build China into a modern powerful country within 20 years?
"Lao Wan, come on, let me go with you to our finance department to ask how much surplus we have."

Lu Zhizhang took Lao Wan away. Li Ye said that his family members were unwilling, so he quickly told Lao Wan to shut up.

Lao Wan doesn’t know who Li Ye’s family members are, but Lu Zhizhang knows!
Even if you talk until your lips are sore, people won't even bat an eyelid at you.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Lu Zhizhang and Lao Wan argued for most of the day before he came over to find Li Ye with a smile.

"Li Ye, they are really relying on us. They are throwing a tantrum just to get on the Spring Festival Gala. I'm thinking that we should bear half of the cost, but use the next period's profit dividend to offset it. This way, it won't affect the workers' mood, and we won't lose anything."

Li Ye looked at Lu Zhizhang and felt that he actually also agreed to perform on the Spring Festival Gala, but because Li Ye did not show any interest, he discussed it with Li Ye in such a friendly manner.

It's not that Li Ye is overbearing, causing him, the "top leader" of the first branch, to be indecisive like a young wife, but that Li Ye has spent more than two years proving his "farsightedness". In terms of experience in fighting within the unit, Lu Zhizhang asked himself that Li Ye was just at the entry level, far behind an old hand like himself, but Li Ye's strength lies in that every major decision will bring unexpected benefits.

This made Lu Zhizhang have to admit his admiration. Marrying a powerful wife is one skill, and having a unique vision is another skill.

As for the former, Lu Zhizhang sometimes muttered to himself, "Why don't I have such a good life?"

But as for the latter, Lu Zhizhang had to console himself by saying that Li Ye was an “outstanding graduate in economics from Peking University”. This had nothing to do with fate; it was simply because he failed the exam.

However, Li Ye respected Lu Zhizhang very much. As long as Lu Zhizhang put forward his opinions, Li Ye rarely objected.

But this time, he shook his head and said, "When Lao Wan mentioned this just now, I was in a hurry and didn't react. Now think about it, don't you think it's weird?"

"Weird?"

Lu Zhizhang was stunned for a moment, then immediately sat opposite Li Ye and whispered, "What do you think is wrong?"

Li Ye said: "It's hard for me to say, but think about it, Tao Xin suddenly came to our branch factory, does it seem like someone deliberately lured him here?"

Lu Zhizhang was stunned and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he said doubtfully, "You mean, Tao Xin came to our factory just for the 400,000 yuan?"

"It may not be Tao Xin! I will ask around when I get back. Don't ask the finance department to give you the money yet. We can check again tomorrow."

"Oh, okay. I'll listen to you."

Li Ye's mind is not very clear now. He feels that there is something hidden in the fog and he can't catch it even if he wants to.

So after returning home, Li Ye found Wen Leyu and said, "Wife, I remember you have a sister at the TV station, right? Help me find out how the 400,000 yuan was handled and whether the person who handled it had planned it."

Wen Leyu glared at her, then smiled and said, "For this kind of thing, you can ask my brothers! They know the inside story best."

Li Ye looked at Wen Leyu and said helplessly, "Why? I know my brother has many acquaintances in the TV station, but what if he gets involved with his former lover in order to help me find out things?"

"Alright, alright, you have so many lovers!"

Wen Leyu spat at Li Ye, then said, "It's not that I don't want to ask you, but men's mouths are tighter than women's. My brother has a good friend at the TV station, you should ask him!"

"Oh oh oh, I know."

Li Ye finally understood that Wen Leyu was also very concerned about women's loose lips!
"Hey, brother, you have a good brother at the TV station, right? I want to ask you something."

"Oh, is that all?"

When Li Ye called Wen Guohua, he thought he wanted to tell him about Ning Pingping, but he never expected it to be such a trivial matter of inquiring for information.

Li Ye asked in surprise: "What do you think it is?"

"Hehehe~"

Wen Guohua gave Li Ye a smile that all men understand, and then said, "Wait a moment, I'll get back to you later."

Soon, Wen Guohua found out the truth: "This matter is indeed a bit strange. My brother has never heard of the 400,000 yuan thing."

Li Ye said in a deep voice: "Is it possible that he is not from the same department, so he didn't hear the news?"

Wen Guohua smiled and said, "That's hard to say. If it's in a slush fund, it can be big or small. We can turn a blind eye, or we can check every penny for a year."

"."

Li Ye was silent for several seconds before he said in a deep voice: "Thank you, brother. I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Li Ye felt a chill all over his body.

Originally, he thought that Lao Niu was a "man who dies for money". He appeared to be clean and honest, but secretly colluded with others to gain some benefits for himself, or did favors for the TV station to build up a network of contacts for himself.

But after hearing what Wen Guohua said, Li Ye thought that Niu Hongzhang was very likely trying to kill him.

No wonder Niu Hongzhang wanted Li Ye to appear on TV again and again!

Spend money on gifts to get yourself to dance on the Spring Festival Gala.

If this crime is proven true, it would be much more serious than misconduct.

As long as the woman is not caught in the act and does not stab him in the back, no matter how loud the rumors are, they are useless without evidence.

But financial issues are different. If even a penny goes in the wrong direction, it will be irrefutable evidence.

. . . . . . . .

The next day, when Li Ye saw Lu Zhizhang, he asked, "Old Lu, did Old Wan tell you yesterday how to transfer the 400,000 yuan? Is it an invoice? Or a receipt with the official seal?"

Lu Zhizhang was stunned, and there was something wrong with his eyes.

"Li Ye, what do you mean?"

Li Ye nodded and said, "This is the only way to explain why Lao Niu is so abnormal."

Lu Zhizhang was silent for a while, then stood up and walked out.

"I'll go talk to them and see what they're up to."

Li Ye sighed and waited quietly for Lu Zhizhang to ask some questions.

He actually hoped that his guess was wrong. After all, if a precedent of such a vicious fight was set, then no one would have any credibility in the future.

Every decision and every word of the other party is no longer trustworthy.

Therefore, the terrible incidents of "opposition for the sake of opposition" in history were not necessarily attacks on each other, but for self-protection.

You proposed a good idea with good intentions, but others believed it was a scheme to harm others. How could you not object?
Lu Zhizhang spent the entire day and only came back to look for Li Ye when it was almost time to get off work in the afternoon.

"Ah~"

He sighed first, then said quietly, "I went to Lao Wan, but he was hesitant and couldn't explain clearly, always emphasizing that the 400,000 was not a loss. Then I went to Lao Niu, and guess what happened?"

"Hehe, Lao Niu said he didn't know anything about it and asked us to discuss it with Lao Wan."

"Hahahaha~"

Lu Zhizhang suddenly laughed: "An old guy is an old guy, he is really cruel and ruthless! If you didn't have the idea of ​​becoming a big star, you might have really fallen for him."

"Haha~"

Li Ye also laughed.

A thousand-year-old fox must be a demon.

But a monster is a monster. If it can’t follow the right path, it will most likely end up being struck to death by thunder!
