That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1091 That grandson brags

Li Ye knew in his previous life that even if everyone sat at a table, they would most likely split into several small circles.
Usually, people chat in groups of three or two, whispering about different topics. Even if you want to force your way into another circle, it won't be that congenial.

It can be said that a small wine table can make you understand the social reality and the various aspects of life, and let you know a truth - if it is not your circle, don't force your way into it.

For example, now, Mr. Jiang and Yin Changshan are chatting about interesting things that happened when they were in school, as well as the current situation of someone in the industry.

The college students were considered a group, but they didn't have much to talk about. They could only hang around Teacher Jiang and Yin Changshan, occasionally saying a word or two to forcibly show their presence.

Young kids still like to show off in front of their seniors in the industry. Having read so many books and learned so much knowledge, they are eager to get recognition and praise from their seniors.

The remaining Li Ye, Lu Linsheng's father and the driver Xiao Liu were barely grouped together.

The three of them didn't know each other before, so they were the type that would easily have a dull moment.

At this time, the value of driver Xiao Liu is revealed.

Why would someone bring a driver with them when they drink? Because the driver's identity is very mysterious, and he can talk to anyone.

Driver Xiao Liu rarely spoke to Li Ye since Li Ye asked him "Is it ok to drive after drinking?" However, he got along well with Lu Linsheng's father.

"Master Lu, are you here to see the child? Oh, we are forbidden to discuss what happened a few days ago. We can only say that parents all over the world have pity. Master Lu, where do you work?"

Lu Linsheng's father hesitated for a few seconds, then said, "I work in a furniture factory in our city. In the past few years, the company's performance was not good and it couldn't pay wages. The higher-ups encouraged everyone to find their own way out, and I took the initiative to take on the responsibility."

Xiao Liu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Wasn't it offensive when I called you Master Lu just now? I have to call you Director Lu!"

Director Lu: "Hey, what's the point of being a director? I just don't want to see hundreds of people lose their livelihoods, so I took everyone to look for food. In fact, I am just a little courageous. Please don't laugh at me."

Xiao Liu boasted: "The bolder the person, the more productive the land. Nowadays, only the bold ones can succeed. Several of my childhood friends went into business a few years ago, and now they are all doing well."

"No, no, no, you only see that they are doing well, but you don't see the pain in their hearts."

Director Lu waved his hands and said, "Just two years ago, my hair was all black. I went to work, played ball, and watched movies. My life was so comfortable. But since I took over our factory,
Look at my hair, most of it is white, right? I am worried every time I open my eyes. Worker production, product sales, bank loans. If any of these go wrong, I will never be able to get back on my feet.”

Director Lu complained bitterly for a long time, and then said: "So when my son talked to me about his ideal, I told him to go to work steadily and do his work steadily.

Forget about going to Shanghai for a living. If you have a good company that pays you every month, who would go there?"

"."

Director Lu’s words attracted everyone’s attention, especially Xia Qinghe.

Xia Qinghe was very surprised when she heard that Director Lu had contracted a furniture factory with several hundred employees.

She didn't expect that Lu Linsheng, who was usually quiet, actually had a father who was a boss.

Nowadays, the influence of Hong Kong and Taiwan romance novels on girls is comparable to that of Jin Guliang on boys, and more than 80% of the male protagonists in romance novels have a boss dad!

Even Chen Kangjian, who was against Xia Qinghe, had shining eyes.

Who among the kids born in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s doesn’t want to “make a lot of money”?
They have just graduated and have no idea what to do, no savings, and have to quickly find a job to earn a living. Otherwise, who wouldn't want to give up their fixed salary and try their luck in the sea of ​​business "in order not to regret their youth"?
Even Sun Shaoping in "The Ordinary World" believed that he should not go out and explore the world once in his lifetime. When he gets old, he will have nothing to brag about. He can only brag about how when he was young, he could eat eight steamed buns for a meal and carry over a hundred pounds and jog two miles without taking a breath.

Therefore, Xia Qinghe and Chen Kangjian both envied Director Lu, but they did not agree with his suggestion of "working steadily and steadily".

However, Teacher Jiang smiled and said, "Director Lu, the young people may not listen to your sincere words! They are all ambitious and want to become rich.
Even if you join a company, you want to join today, produce results tomorrow, and become a scientist the day after tomorrow."

"Oh, who says it isn't!"

Director Lu shook his head and said, "Young people nowadays are too impetuous. They don't know the difference between school and society. If young people want to gain a foothold in society, they must first learn to respect others and be a good person. If they endure patiently for a few years, they will understand everything."

Teacher Jiang smiled and said to Xia Qinghe and the others, "Did you hear that? What Director Lu said are all life experiences. Don't be displeased. If we are not close friends, we will not bother to teach you."

"Yes, yes, Director Lu is right. We still have a lot to learn, so we should study hard."

Xia Qinghe was very sweet-talking, and she took the opportunity to express her "humble and eager to learn" intention, as if she was making her feelings clear to Yin Changshan. If she joined the unit, she would be a member of the unit, and she didn't care about people who went to Shanghai to make money.

But Yin Changshan smiled and said, "Actually, everyone is a little arrogant when they are young. Even when Lao Jiang and I just graduated, we were ambitious and arrogant. These are nothing.
But you have to accept the consequences of your choice of path. Some people are willing to work hard in the workplace, while others are willing to go into business to fight for their dreams. But it’s hard to say who will be right in the future.”

Yin Changshan glanced at Li Ye as he spoke, and suddenly changed the subject: "I heard that you studied economics, right? So what do you think about the current situation in our mainland, is it more promising for young people to go into business, or is it more appropriate to join the workforce?"

Li Ye also glanced at the other person and observed the intention hidden behind Yin Changshan's smile.

Yin Changshan was testing Li Ye's outlook on life to see if it was in line with their family's interests.

Li Ye's observation ability is much sharper than that of ordinary people, but Yin Changshan is not dull either.

Yin Wenke, who was of average ability, was promoted to associate researcher at the age of 26. How could his father be an ordinary person? To be able to get to this level in the unit, one must have some skills.

Yin Changshan has been observing Li Juan for a long time and realized that she is very convinced of her brother Li Ye, so Li Ye's outlook on life is very important.

If the Li family was a family that "sold their daughters", Yin Changshan would never dare to marry into their family.

Li Ye smiled lightly and said calmly: "From an economic point of view, the higher the return, the higher the risk. Young people are fearless, so they don't care much about this risk.

But parents who have lived through all the ups and downs of life until they are 40 or 50 years old know the deadly threat of this risk.

"So no matter which path is more promising, parents' opinions on their children are basically like Director Lu's, safe and down-to-earth. As for whether the children listen or not, it is up to them to decide their own lives."

"Hegel said in his Philosophy of History that the only lesson mankind has learned from history is not to believe in any lesson from history. Therefore, educating children is always a thankless task for parents, and they are only angry for nothing."

"."

"Hahahaha~"

After a moment of silence at the table, the whole audience burst into laughter.

Teacher Jiang and others felt that Li Ye’s words were very humorous and touched the hearts of a group of middle-aged people.

But after Yin Changshan finished laughing, he still asked directly: "So Comrade Li Ye, what suggestions do you have for Li Juan's future? Do you want her to have a stable job and get married? Or should she live a more exciting life?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "Of course I hope she is stable and settled. It doesn't matter whether her life is exciting or not. The most important thing is that she is safe and happy. But whether she listens to me or not is not something I can control!" Yin Changshan frowned, obviously not satisfied with Li Ye's answer.

He was so busy at work, and he took time out to come and have a drink, which was already very considerate of the "woman's" face. However, after Teacher Jiang "pointed out" in advance that his son was interested in Li Juan, Li Ye still didn't understand what he was saying, which was really a bit "unreasonable".

[If your daughter is stable and down-to-earth, then we can talk about it. If she is ambiguous, don't delay my son's life. ]

Teacher Jiang took one look and had to force a joke and asked, "Brother Li Ye, if you were to choose a husband for your sister, which one would you choose?"

Li Ye laughed and said, "It all depends on fate, but my eldest sister chose a civil servant, which I think is not bad."

"Public servant?"

Teacher Jiang was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Which department does your brother-in-law work in?"

Li Ye: "The Propaganda Department, just over there on Chang'an Avenue."

Teacher Jiang was stunned for a moment, then said awkwardly, "The Propaganda Department does have a bright future."

Li Ye shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter whether there is a future or not. The main thing is to be humorous and rational, and to be able to resolve many small family conflicts before they arise."

"."

Teacher Jiang and Yin Changshan looked at each other, both thoughtful.

Li Juan never said that her brother-in-law was an outstanding reserve cadre of the Propaganda Department, so the two of them were underprepared.

Teacher Jiang felt that he was too hasty. Although Li Juan was from a small place, she would not necessarily be tied into marriage just for a job.

Yin Changshan had a gloomy expression on his face. He felt that Li Ye was making excuses and was disgusted with his Yin Wenke for being tongue-tied.

But Yin Changshan had no idea that what Li Ye said was all true.

The eldest brother is like a father. If Li Ye were asked to choose a husband for Li Juan, he would choose a "stable and down-to-earth" type.

For example, sister Li Juan chose Yang Yumin, which was a good choice.

Why, decades later, 80 percent of mothers-in-law in the country believe that civil servants are the first choice for husbands?

Because boys in the system have a strong sense of altruism.

Benefits such as buying a house, seeing a doctor, and retirement all come with a family binding mechanism, which transforms personal rights into family shared capital. It seems that they are only for the official himself, but in fact they also benefit the family.

The system emphasizes unity. No matter how unique your personality is or how angular you are, within this melting pot of framework, you will gradually learn to compromise and give in in small matters such as serving tea, signing and approving documents, and seating arrangements in meetings.

When a man has a calm, quiet and mellow personality, dealing with small misunderstandings and conflicts between husband and wife will be a piece of cake.

Moreover, the system has been monitoring and evaluating people's lifestyles. The costs of engaging in adultery, gambling, drunk driving, fighting, etc. are extremely high.

Therefore, mothers-in-law know clearly that the system does not bring economic benefits, but a complete set of risk hedging mechanisms. Using the rigidity of the system to fight against human weaknesses can also better maintain family peace.

Driver Xiao Liu noticed that his boss was in a bad mood, and immediately smiled and raised his glass to look for Li Ye.

"Brother, I didn't expect you to have strong connections in the Propaganda Department! I'm so sorry, I'll toast to you.
By the way, brother, you graduated from the Department of Economics at Peking University. Why didn't you work in a ministry like your brother-in-law, but chose a car factory instead?"

Li Ye took a sip and said with a smile: "Just obey the assignment! I think it's good too."

Xiao Liu nodded and said, "That's right, you can get promoted faster in a company. When did you graduate, you must have reached the rank of regular section chief, right?"

Li Ye glanced at him and knew that he was venting his anger on Yin Changshan!

Yin Changshan is a deputy director. Li Ye, don't even mention the Propaganda Department or the car factory. Can you ever become a deputy director in this lifetime?

Li Ye said shyly, "It's been almost three years since I graduated, and I'm barely a regular student."

"."

Xiao Liu blinked and said immediately, "Brother, you are going to have a successful career! Three years ago, graduates from Peking University were very popular.

Of course I'm not saying it's not popular now! It's just that the demand for college students in various units has decreased a lot in the past two years. Brother, you are lucky to have caught the last batch."

[Are you emphasizing the value of this quota in your institute? ]

Li Ye pretended to be surprised and said, "No way! This year our unit submitted an application report and asked for 100 college students. As long as they are professionally suitable, they are all wanted. How could there be no demand?"

"Pfft~"

Director Lu, who had not been able to get a word in, just spit out the tea.

After wiping his mouth, he couldn't help but ask Li Ye: "You applied for a hundred college students? How many people are there in your unit?"

Li Ye said: "More than 10,000 people! The main reason is that there are too few college students now. If we apply for 100, we may only get dozens. If the supply is really open, we may directly apply for 300 to 500."

"."

Director Lu swallowed his saliva and said in disbelief: "Three to five hundred? Do you have that many settlement quotas per year? How are you going to solve the settlement problem for the students?"

"Try to solve it!"

Can't solve it? Just destroy the relationship! Lu Zhizhang is the best at this. He knows how to get things done at a certain cost. He calculates it carefully and ensures that he doesn't waste too much money.

But Li Ye's indifferent answer made Yin Changshan completely lose interest.

He mouthed a word to Teacher Jiang in disdain.

"That grandson is bragging~"
