That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1087: Am I missing a leading female role?
When Li Ye graduated in his previous life, he also knew that asking acquaintances to find a job was a shortcut in life. The difference between working in a good unit for a lifetime and wandering around in society for a lifetime is enormous.

Let’s not talk about the obvious differences in salary, benefits, and housing. Just look at the speed at which the appearance of both parties changes, and you will know how both parties have survived all these years.

Although everyone is a "horse", and the hard-working and diligent building maintenance god even earns 20,000 yuan a month, but when he reaches 60 years old, the wrinkles on his face can kill a fly, his back aches on rainy and cloudy days, and his calves tremble when he goes upstairs.

What about the cows and horses in the tea and newspaper offices? They are dressed up like they are in their forties, and they can even jump around on the grassland for a while!
So when Li Juan said to Li Ye, "They may want you to give them a gift," Li Ye didn't feel disgusted.

After all, the opportunities to stay in Beijing these years are much less than in previous years. This year, this kind of thing happened again. I don’t know how many graduates are racking their brains just to stay in Beijing and find a good unit to settle down.

Then the opportunity to work in Beijing has become a super scarce resource. It is understandable that people with some connections would exchange it.
Moreover, people may think that this exchange is "well-intentioned" and that Li Juan is the lucky one who gets this opportunity!

Besides, Li Ye thought that the other party probably didn’t want to “accept gifts”.

This is Peking University, not some fake university. How could such a blatant thing happen?
So the other party probably wants to express his gratitude and make some connections.

Li Ye is the deputy factory director who drives his sister to school. Who knows, maybe he will be able to use his skills someday in the future, right?
Whether it was in the 1980s or decades later, this kind of exchange of favors was perfectly normal.

Not to mention others, even Li Ye has helped so many people along the way. If the other party thinks it is "natural" and is unwilling to even show gratitude to Li Ye, then Li Ye would have to curse himself for being blind.

So Li Ye decided to go and communicate with Li Juan's teacher, politely decline the other party's kindness, and not delay them from finding the next lucky person.

Because Li Ye had been drinking and it was inconvenient for him to drive, he called a driver from the factory to drive him to Peking University in his own car.

After arriving at Peking University, Li Ye found Li Juan and went with her to find the kind "Teacher Jiang".

While walking on the road, Li Juan whispered: "Teacher Jiang is actually a very nice person. When our classmates need to do research projects or write papers, he will always help enthusiastically, and he never asks for his name to be signed when publishing papers.

It is very troublesome to queue up for some of the experimental equipment in our school. Sometimes we cannot get a number when we want to do a project. Teacher Jiang can also find relevant orders outside the school for us to observe and increase our practical experience."

Li Juan said a lot of good things about Teacher Jiang, then smiled and said, "So, brother, don't be anxious later, and save some face for Teacher Jiang, okay?"

"Save face?"

Li Ye said strangely: "I didn't plan to do anything! Why do you think I won't give them face?"

Li Juan was stunned for a moment, then said awkwardly: "I thought you hated people who meddle in other people's business!"

"What are you saying? I am your brother, a factory manager after all. How can I be so ignorant? Don't worry, I promise to flatter your teacher Jiang to the point of ecstasy later."

Li Ye actually knew what Li Juan wanted to say. She thought Li Ye hated people who "accepted gifts". However, this teacher Jiang was obviously respected by Li Juan and others.

So Li Juan was very conflicted. Not only could she not refuse the other party's invitation to Li Ye to come over for a "talk", but she was also afraid that Li Ye would speak impolitely and embarrass the other party.

But Li Ye is not the fool he used to be. He has been busy in a branch factory in recent years and has learned how to carry people in fancy sedan chairs. It is absolutely no problem for him to politely reject teacher Jiang's "kindness", and he can do it easily and without leaving any trace.

However, when Li Juan and Li Ye just arrived outside the office building, they suddenly stopped.

Li Ye asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Juan hesitated for a moment, pointed at the people in front and said, "That's Teacher Jiang, the others are my classmates, shall we go over now?"

Li Ye looked in the direction Li Juan pointed and found two middle-aged men talking and laughing, and three other students. One of them was following one of the middle-aged men, and the other two were standing beside them at a distance.

It would be inappropriate to rush over when others were talking, so Li Ye also stopped.

Then he asked, "Which one is Teacher Jiang? The one in the white shirt or the one in the gray suit? Are those three students all your classmates in the same major?"

Li Juan introduced: "The one wearing a white shirt is Mr. Jiang. I don't know the one wearing a gray suit, but the boy next to him is Lu Linsheng.
The other two students are Xia Qinghe and Chen Kangjian, both from our Microelectronics Department. Last month, we went to the Electronics Research Institute to observe for a few days."

Li Ye asked in surprise: "Have all four of you been to that electronics research institute?"

Li Juan nodded and said, "Yes, I just observed for a few days and helped others. But after we came back, we both wrote a paper. Mine was published, but theirs was not."

[Sister, is this a question of whether to publish the paper or not? It’s up to the highest bidder! ]

"Hi~, I'm busy! Let's go first!"

Li Ye took a look from a distance and prepared to turn around and leave.

My sister Li Juan is still too young and doesn’t judge people thoroughly enough. When others are nice to you on the surface, you feel embarrassed to refuse them, but you don’t know that they are just taking advantage of your embarrassment.

However, Li Ye thought about how when he was this age in his previous life, he also seemed to care so much about other people's face, but in the end he was the one who was wronged.

Li Juan also felt something was wrong, so she nodded and followed Li Ye to leave. But before she turned around, the two students standing on the side came over while waving at her. Now that she had been seen, it would be difficult for her to leave.

After the two students came over, the one named Xia Qinghe asked Li Juan: "Xiao Juan, why are you standing here like an idiot? Why don't you go over there?"

Li Juan explained: "I saw Teacher Jiang was talking to someone, and it might be impolite to move closer."

Xia Qinghe glanced at Li Ye quietly, then smiled and said, "Hey, what's so rude about this? Anyway, we are all about to graduate and are discussing graduation assignments.
I really envy you and Lu Linsheng, because you have parents here to help you and advise you, unlike Chen Kangjian and I, who are completely in the dark and don’t understand anything.”

Li Juan smiled and said, "No more. My brother has asked around, and the assignment is arranged by the school and the higher authorities. No matter how much we consult, we still have to wait for the assignment in the end, so we can't do much."

Xia Qinghe shook her head and said, "At least it can make me feel less anxious, right? I have not been able to sleep well these days. I feel bad when I think that we may go our separate ways in a few days. How nice it would be if we all stayed in the capital?"

"."

Li Ye watched Li Juan and Xia Qinghe chatting away, and felt that Li Juan was more "mature" than he had imagined. At least she had that "clear and stupid" look in her eyes.

This girl named Xia Qinghe was obviously one of the smartest among her peers. Her eyes were rolling around and her tongue was sharp and responsive. She kept probing Li Juan during the conversation.

But Li Juan did not let her lead her by the nose. Instead, she spoke the same words in a serious manner. Although she seemed honest and dull, she was basically able to do it without any mistakes.

[One mother gives birth to many things, each with his own luck. Not bad. 】

Li Ye felt relieved. Thinking back to when he first came here, Li Juan was still a country girl who wrestled with her sister for a few New Year's money. Now, she had the demeanor of a general.

The only person present was Chen Kangjian, who stood there in a daze, unable to get a word in, which was quite consistent with the style of college rookies of that era.

But just when Li Juan and Xia Qinghe were chatting enthusiastically, Chen Kangjian suddenly asked: "Li Juan, has Yin Wenke contacted you in the past few days?"

"Yin Wenke?"

Li Juan was stunned for several seconds before she said in surprise, "No! Why did he contact me?"

Xia Qinghe and Chen Kangjian looked at Li Juan strangely, then looked at Li Ye with very complicated expressions.

Li Ye immediately said, "I'm going to the lake to smoke a cigarette. If Teacher Jiang wants to see me later, please call me."

"Oh well."

Li Juan nodded blankly, obviously not knowing what was going on.

Li Ye walked away while touching his pocket.

Fortunately, I had a pack of cigarettes with me today because I had a service banquet.

But he didn't really come there to smoke. He came to give the three students some space to talk and then quietly eavesdrop on their conversation.

Li Ye was very familiar with this area. He circled around and finally reached the other side of the woods, twenty meters away from Li Juan and the others.

Others may not be able to hear clearly from 20 meters away, but Li Ye can roughly hear it.

"Li Juan, do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand? Yin Wenke is interested in you. Are you interested in him?"

"Why would he be interested in me? We've only met him a few times, and we're not familiar with each other at all."

"You feel unfamiliar with him, but Yin Wen Ke has asked us about you many times. Even a fool can see his intentions. You don't know that, do you? Yin Wen Ke's father is Deputy Director Yin Changshan. Tell me, are you interested in him?"

"No, absolutely not"

Li Ye's expression also became strange.

He originally thought that this teacher Jiang was waiting for a high price, but he didn't expect that it was "I have a play here, and I'm in need of a daughter-in-law for the leading actress."

[What is this special brew? ]

Li Ye frowned and finally felt annoyed.

Li Juan is very pretty and has good academic performance. She has also studied with Mr. Ni for several summers, so she stands out in all aspects. She is a beautiful lady and a desirable match for a gentleman, so it is not surprising that she is noticed by others.

But if you like her, you should either pursue her or find someone to act as a matchmaker. How can you use the opportunity to work in Beijing as an excuse?
【This family is not a righteous person. 】
