That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1042: When the gods fight, the mortals suffer (Please take a leave for one more update)
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Niu Hongzhang also came to work.

There are many people like Niu Hongzhang. When everyone in the factory is resting, they diligently patrol the entire factory, just like lions and tigers patrolling their territory.

However, Niu Hongzhang did not go down for inspection today, but sat in the office waiting for a call.

"Ling ring ring~"

"Li Ye has come to work and will be at the first branch soon."

"Well."

"Ling ring ring~"

"Li Ye started fighting with Wang Dazhen's family. Li Ye was very powerful and knocked down two of them at once. The Wang family members didn't dare to make trouble anymore."

"Are you injured?"

"It seems not. He crawled on the ground for a while and then got up. Now Li Ye has entered a branch factory. The Wang family wanted to follow him in, but the guard wouldn't let them in, so they blocked him outside."

"Oh~"

Niu Hongzhang put down the phone, his face looking terribly gloomy.

He has been transferred here for a few months. He has heard some rumors about Li Ye and knows that Li Ye is very good at fighting. Today is the real verification.

It was because of this that he hated Li Ye even more.

At that time, Niu Hongzhang was blocked by Guan Liang on the way to work, and was tossed around like chickens for most of the day. Li Ye could obviously help him out with just a hand, but he just stood there and watched with gloating.

[No matter how good your skills are, what good is it if you don't use them properly? ]

Niu Hongzhang was sulking on his own, thinking about how to use Wang Dazhen's matter to cause trouble for Li Ye.

After several fights, Niu Hongzhang already knew that Li Ye's foundation was extraordinary and it was impossible to bring him down in one go, so he could only do it step by step.

Based on Niu Hongzhang's experience of fighting over the years, it can be seen that what the higher-ups value most is not only ability, but more importantly stability. No one is willing to reuse a person who may cause a major incident at any time, which is the so-called "immaturity."

Therefore, only by shaping Li Ye into an "unstable factor" step by step can Li Ye's foundation be loosened and only then will he have the opportunity to deal with Li Ye.

Niu Hongzhang thought about it for a long time and had an idea in his mind, so he decided to call Lai Jiayi.

He has been fighting for so many years that he certainly knows that he cannot get his hands dirty. Letting his subordinates come out to compete with Li Ye is the correct way to isolate risks.

But before Niu Hongzhang could make the call, a call came in from outside.

"Ling ring ring~"

"Oh no! The police have detained all the members of the Wang family and have taken them to a branch factory. From what I heard, they want to interrogate the members of the Wang family separately."

"What? That's nonsense."

Niu Hongzhang was shocked and said angrily, "How can you trouble the police for such a small matter? Go over and stop it immediately, and say we will handle it internally."

This is not the era of "When in trouble, find your uncle" decades later, where you would have the nerve to call your uncle for help when you ran out of toilet paper. These days, every appearance of the police is a major event, which will attract onlookers and rumors, and it may even be distorted as it is passed on.

And more importantly, under the professional interrogation of the police, the Wang family members, who are numerous and talkative, cannot agree on a single statement, and the result will definitely backfire.

That's why Niu Hongzhang asked people to stop it quickly. These days, the security department in the factory is related to the public security department, and internal handling is a normal practice.

But the other party said in embarrassment: "No! The Wang family said the same thing just now, but they even showed the handcuffs, and I can't control Li Ye, so you have to stop it now."

"I"

Niu Hongzhang almost burst out cursing, "You useless thing", but then he thought that he had been here for half a year and had finally won over two or three kittens. If he cursed them away again, all his efforts would be wasted.

So Niu Hongzhang had to take action himself and call a branch factory.

"Hello, I'm Niu Hongzhang, I'm looking for Li Ye."

"Oh, Secretary Niu! I'm Lu Zhizhang, and Li Ye is taking a statement with the police!"

Niu Hongzhang pretended to be surprised and asked, "Record a statement? What statement do you want to record?"

Lu Zhizhang replied: "It is like this. We visited Wang Dazhen's neighbors last night and determined the reason why he jumped off the building.
But today the Wang family changed their story, so Li Ye was worried that the Wang family was trying to cover up the truth, so he reported it to the police. This is not a small problem."

"Cover up the truth? Cover up what truth?"

Niu Hongzhang was surprised, because wasn't the truth obvious? The Wang family was just cheating to gain some benefits, so why did they need to cover it up?
But Lu Zhizhang said: "Li Ye believes that Wang Dazhen might have been pushed down the stairs by Li Weihua. This is a criminal case, it is intentional homicide."

Niu Hongzhang was furious: "He's talking nonsense! How could the police believe such a joke?"

Lu Zhizhang said helplessly: "I don't know about that, and this is Li Ye who reported it to the police personally, so the unit can't stop it even if they want to!"

"."

Niu Hongzhang felt like he was about to explode with anger. Lu Zhizhang actually stopped him from talking in advance. Li Ye reported the case to the police himself, and the unit couldn't do anything about it?
You don't want to care, right?

But Niu Hongzhang also knew that even if he ordered Li Ye now, Li Ye would not give up.

[He really does listen to the tune but not the announcement! No, he doesn’t even listen to the tune. ]

Niu Hongzhang was filled with hatred, but there was nothing he could do.

Because the relationship between the main factory and the first branch is actually harmonious. Li Ye absolutely obeys Ma Zhaoxian's leadership. It's just that Li Ye and Niu Hongzhang are not harmonious, so Niu Hongzhang has no evidence to make a fuss about the first branch being "out of control".

Although Niu Hongzhang hated the situation, he was decisive and he immediately called Lai Jiayi.

Lai Jiayi on the other end of the phone was obviously not awake yet, and it took her a long time to answer the call.

That’s right. Yesterday the Wang family had a huge fight in the hospital, and in the end it was Lai Jiayi who tried her best to mediate the situation. She was so tired from all the hard work, and of course she hasn’t gotten enough sleep yet!

"Hey, you talked to Wang Dazhen's family last night. Did they catch you?"

"what?"

Lai Jiayi, who had just woken up, was a little confused, and then subconsciously said: "No, I just said a few words indirectly, and they agreed on their own."

Niu Hongzhang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. Li Ye has called the police. The Wang family has been isolated for questioning. Go to the hospital immediately and talk to Wang Dazhen about it. Let him take all the responsibility. I will transfer him to the main factory and arrange a leisurely job for him later."

Lai Jiayi was stunned for a long time before she said, "Wang Dazhen probably doesn't want to be transferred to the main factory. The salary difference is huge!"

The salary at the branch factory was so high that Lai Jiayi didn't even ask Niu Hongzhang to transfer her back to the main factory, so how could Wang Dazhen be willing to do that?

Niu Hongzhang said bluntly, "Isn't this the job you're asked to do? Explain the situation to Wang Dazhen. It's his parents who caused this kind of thing. Will Wang Dazhen have a good life after he is discharged from the hospital? Also, be careful. Clean yourself up."

"Oh oh oh, I'll go right away."

Lai Jiayi quickly put on her clothes and went out to Haidian Hospital. Niu Hongzhang's intention was very clear. He wanted to exaggerate to scare Wang Dazhen first, so that he would think of Li Ye as a big bully who would settle the score later.
At this moment, he has been targeted by the big bully. There are endless small shoes waiting for him in the future. He must embrace Lai Jiayi and Niu Hongzhang and obey their arrangements 100%.

In the past, Wang Dazhen was Lai Jiayi's henchman, so she thought that the simple-minded Wang Dazhen would be easy to fool with just a few words.

But when Lai Jiayi rushed to the hospital, she found that Wang Dazhen had been fooled by someone.

Li Ye sat in front of Wang Dazhen's bed and asked in a deep voice, "Are you feeling aggrieved? Aggrieved that you work hard and make money, but in the end you are always abandoned. You are the most hardworking person, but you never get a good result?"

"I won't talk about the work, let's talk about your family. Didn't you hand in your salary? Is your salary less than others? How come you don't get respect from your family? Even your children look down on you?"

"You earn less than 300 yuan a month, and you hand in 260 yuan, which leaves you 40 yuan for pocket money. At the end of the month, you'll have a few yuan left, and you have to hand it back again?"

"Think about it now, who allowed you to earn 300 yuan a month? It was me, right?

Who took your pocket money? It wasn't me, was it?
Then who do you think you should hate the most? Should it be me? "

"."

Lai Jiayi was listening to Li Ye's words outside the door and was confused for a moment.

[What are you talking about? It's so confusing that I can't understand it.]

But Wang Dazheng in the ward suddenly started sobbing and then burst into tears.

Why did he jump off the building on New Year's Eve?

Because the children don’t go back to their parents’ home with me to celebrate the New Year.

What if the child doesn’t go back with him to celebrate the New Year?

Because his parents would scold him for being "not a man".

Wang Dazhen clearly did everything a man should do. He lived frugally and invested his salary, which was twice as high as others, into his family. But in the end, he was labeled as "not a man". Do you think he felt wronged?
As a woman, Lai Jiayi could not understand this kind of thinking. Until now, she felt that Li Weihua was not completely unreasonable. Why should Wang Dazhen give his year-end bonus to his brother for marriage? Why didn't Wang Dazhen listen to his wife?

She never thought about why Wang Dazhen was willing to make such sacrifices. Wasn't it because he wanted to get a compliment like "You are really capable"?
A simple compliment from his family could put an invisible rein on Wang Dazhen, a beast of burden, and make him work tirelessly to pull the cart and plow the fields.

But even though it was such a profitable deal, Li Weihua and her three children, who were holding the reins, felt that they had lost out in the end. They refused to praise and continued to whip the children.

Wang Dazhen worked hard for a whole year, but in the end his wife and children despised him.

If my wife doesn’t want to see her mother-in-law, it’s okay for her to let the child go back with Wang Dazhen!

No, it just won’t work.

Do you think he wouldn't feel wronged?
But Lai Jiayi felt that Wang Dazheng should not feel aggrieved. When she was mediating in the hospital last night, she mainly scolded Wang Dazheng.

"How can a grown man be so petty? How can he commit suicide like a woman just because of a quarrel?"

Listen, even "committing suicide" is a privilege for women.

"A grown man should be more generous. What's wrong with being scolded by your wife? Can it cost you a piece of flesh? Can't you just pretend you didn't hear it?"

But Lai Jiayi didn't think about it. When she quarreled with her husband, would she allow him to pretend not to hear her? Are you freaking deaf?
Therefore, when the family conflict between a couple is very serious, the female mediator cannot find the crux of the problem. Simply asking the man to make concessions is just drinking poison to quench thirst.

But Li Ye is different. He has seen many different cases decades later.

Li Ye waited until Wang Dazhen had almost finished crying, and then continued, "Although it is not convenient for us to interfere in your family affairs, I would like to give you a personal suggestion.
When you get your salary next month, don’t give it to your family first. Buy whatever your family needs and spend whatever you need. Then wait until the end of the month to see how much money you have left. Compare it with your previous situation and make your own decision.

"Woo woo woo, I get it, Director Li, I misunderstood you before"

"You didn't misunderstand me, you were used."

"."

Wang Dazheng couldn't cry anymore. His eyes were confused at first, but gradually became brighter and brighter.

Lai Jiayi left quietly.

Because she knew that she could no longer do work for Wang Dazheng, Li Ye took over before her.

As for Wang Dazhen now, he won't listen to anything you say. He is now thinking about what it feels like to earn money and spend it by himself!

You can’t spend it all, you can’t spend it all.

Lai Jiayi hurried back to the first branch and found Niu Hongzhang to report what she had just seen.

Niu Hongzhang listened in silence and then uttered a sentence.

"Go and comfort Li Weihua! In a few days, the factory will decide to fire her. You must not let her do anything extreme."

"."

Lai Jiayi was shocked and asked, "Why? Is it because of Li Ye or because of the police?"

Niu Hongzhang waved his hands without explaining anything.

Who will Li Weihua hate after being fired?

When gods fight, mortals suffer. The life and death of ordinary people have always been just chips in the hands of gods, which they throw away casually without any pain or regret.

Lai Jiayi looked at Niu Hongzhang's stern face and suddenly shuddered in her heart.

Then she said awkwardly: "I can go and appease Li Weihua, but Li Weihua is an employee of the main factory, and I am now mainly responsible for the mass work of the first branch factory, so... it's always a bit unreasonable!"

Niu Hongzhang looked at Lai Jiayi and said in a deep voice, "I have considered the issue you mentioned. After a few days of work, I will transfer you from the first branch factory to the main factory so that you can be legitimate."

"No, no, no, there's no need to be so anxious. Wang Dazhen and Li Weihua are actually husband and wife. I can persuade them to do some work for them. I'll go tonight."

Lai Jiayi hurriedly rejected Niu Hongzhang's "good intentions".

Although she and Li Ye are now incompatible, she is unwilling to be transferred out of the branch factory.

Firstly, the treatment at the branch was good, and secondly, she was not sure how long Niu Hongzhang could stay at the Light Automobile Company.

If Niu Hongzhang is like the big factory director, who is afraid of fighting and leaves, then Lai Jiayi will really become a poor child who is not loved by her grandmother and uncle.

On the contrary, she now occupies a branch factory, and no matter who comes, they will try to win her over as a chess piece.

After all, the struggle for power and profit is always a fixed drama within an enterprise. As long as you are in an important position, you have value and will be won over by others. Although being a fence-sitter does not sound good, it is also a safe way to deal with the world.

Look at how ruthless Niu Hongzhang is. If he returns to the main factory, one day he might become a small shrimp like Li Weihua who can be sacrificed at any time.
