That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1155: Middle-aged people know the value of opportunities
On the first day of work in the new year, Lu Zhizhang and Li Ye called together all the backbone members of a branch factory and held a work meeting.

"Our tasks this year are still very heavy. We need to increase the production capacity of engines, commercial vehicles, mini cars, and light trucks. So comrades, your promotion is not far away."

"Hahahaha~"

Everyone laughed happily.

The management of the first branch factory has always been relatively "streamlined", unlike some old factories with redundant cadres, where there are five or six deputy section chiefs in a section, and five or six people do one thing.
The management cadres of the first branch are all very capable. If you are not capable, you will not be able to finish your work after get off work, and you will not have any hard-working subordinates to work overtime for you.

However, as the unit expands and production increases, even the most capable iron man can no longer handle the workload, so adding more management personnel and cadre positions must be put on the agenda.
The former deputy director of a workshop will become the director of the new workshop, and the former clerk will become the chief of the new department. People say that after many years of being a daughter-in-law, it takes time for her to become a mother-in-law, but in a branch factory, you may be able to succeed in two or three years.

This gives Lu Zhizhang and Li Ye the basis and support for their "pie in the sky". I make a wish for you today, and someone will be able to make it come true tomorrow. With double rewards of promotion and salary increase, will the employees not work hard?

On the other hand, if I make a wish today, and a wish tomorrow, and keep making wishes until my beard turns white, but still don’t get a salary increase or a promotion, then what the hell is that possible! Even a fool wouldn’t believe it, okay?

Others work 996 and earn a million dollars a year, which can be considered a blessing. But your annual salary is only 996, so isn't working self-harm?
Li Ye mentioned a few things, and then suddenly said lightly: "We may have some overseas assignments this year, and we need a group of technical and management backbones to work in other places for a period of time. I hope everyone will sign up actively according to their family situation."

According to the movement during the Spring Festival, the merger of the motor vehicle manufacturing plant in the city into a branch has been supported by the higher-ups, so now we need to prepare to form a "support team".

"I'll go, I'm willing to go"

"I want to go too. I can sign up now."

"."

As soon as Li Ye finished speaking, many people at the scene began to express their opinions.

In a branch factory, if you work harder than others, you will have more opportunities for promotion, so these people know very well that Li Ye will not treat them unfairly after this assignment.

However, Li Ye carefully observed the people who registered on the spot and found that the young people who were usually very motivated were not active, while the middle-aged people who had elderly parents and young children were very enthusiastic.

Logically speaking, it is most appropriate to send young people who have no worries at home. After all, they will be away for at least one or two years, and the middle-aged and elderly people with elderly parents and young children will not be able to take care of both, which can easily lead to family conflicts.

But from the scene, the situation was just the opposite.

So Li Ye said with a smile: "Don't rush to express your opinions. Go home and discuss it with your family first. I'm going to make it clear that I sent you out to work. Don't keep complaining to me about being homesick. I won't show mercy if you delay your work."

"Hey, Director Li, what are you talking about? When we go out to work, we will never let things at home hold us back."

"Me too, my parents haven't retired yet, and my kids are already in middle school, so there's nothing for me to worry about."

"Okay then! Everyone sign up first, and then we will make the list public after comprehensive consideration."

"I regestrated"

“I’m signing up too.”

"."

"Ah~"

Li Ye couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Those newlyweds without children or those who are not dating yet were almost all hesitant. Some said they would go back and discuss it with their families, while those in their thirties or forties, almost all signed up without hesitation.

Li Ye had actually guessed the reason.

Because young people feel that they will have plenty of opportunities in the future, but only middle-aged people who have become the backbone of their families know how valuable every opportunity is.

Don't miss this opportunity, it won't come back again!

This is just like a college student who has just graduated from school, always saying, “What’s one million? I can earn it quickly.”

But when I was in my thirties or forties, I realized how damn hard it is to save up a million!
As the meeting was drawing to a close, Huang Mengjia from the Life Management Section suddenly said, "I have something to say. During the Spring Festival this year, some of our factory employees drank alcohol while riding motorcycles. Several of them fell off their motorcycles, two of which were quite serious.

We have conducted relevant warning education before, but it seems that the efforts are still not enough, so I think we should take some measures, as the number of motorcycles in our factory is increasing day by day."

“Something must be done,”

Li Ye immediately said seriously: "Whether they fell and were hospitalized, or were lucky enough to be fine, they will all be required to write a self-criticism of no less than 2,000 words at the factory meeting.
They will be put on the honor roll for at least three months. If they do it again, their family members will be dragged in to read a confession letter to everyone, and they will have to clean toilets for three months."

"."

Everyone in the conference room looked at each other.

Although everyone knew Li Ye's attitude towards drunk driving, and he had repeatedly required motorcycle riders to wear helmets, no one expected that he would be so harsh this time.

Why didn't you kill him after he read a 2,000-word self-criticism at the factory meeting?
Bring the family members up on stage. Can the family members kill him?

Not to mention cleaning the toilet for three months, I might as well jump in and die.

In the afternoon, Li Ye suddenly received a call from the security guard.

"Hello, Director Li, a few people are looking for you, saying they are your fellow villagers from Dongshan. I checked their household registration books and work permits, and they are indeed from Qingshui County, Dongshan Province."

"Really? Then I'll come out to meet you right away."

Li Ye put down the phone and walked out, still wondering why the other party came so quickly.

The day before yesterday, Jin Peng agreed with Li Ye that he would send two reliable people to serve as Li Ye's "bodyguards", but he didn't expect that they would arrive today.

But when Li Ye arrived at the reception room, he found that the person who came was not a bodyguard, but his classmate from the No. 2 Middle School in the county.

After eight years, Li Ye's impression of them was a little vague. He only remembered that when he had just traveled through time, he invited them to smoke cigarettes outside the classroom.

At that time, Li Ye had a lot of Daqianmen cigarettes in his pocket, and he would often spend a round of cigarettes lavishly, so they became friends over a few cigarettes.

"Hey, Li Ye is here, I finally see him."

"Hey Li Ye, you made it so hard for us to find you! We asked all our classmates, but no one knew where your home was. We only knew that you were at the auto repair shop in Haidian, and we kept asking along the way."

"Li Ye, have you eaten ginseng fruit in the past few years? Why don't I see Lao Wa, hahahaha~"

Several classmates were very happy to see Li Ye. They hadn't seen each other for eight years and felt a little emotional.

"How do I look old? I'm almost 30."

Li Ye started the biological hard drive while greeting the other party, and it took him a few seconds to remember the other party's name.

Hong Zhiyuan, Yang Shugao, and Zhuang Hongxing.

Among them, Zhuang Hongxing was a good student. He scored more than 370 points in the college entrance examination and went to the provincial capital to attend a junior college. The other two failed and it is not known whether they repeated their studies.

Hong Zhiyuan was a bit familiar with Li Ye. He said to him, "Li Ye, we've been looking for you for a long time and we haven't eaten yet! Can you, the factory director, arrange a meal for us first? We are almost starving to death."

"Of course you can! Our company's canteen is pretty good, and the chefs are all hired from big restaurants. Come on, let me take you to eat."

Li Ye signed the reception form, took three classmates into a branch factory, and went straight to the third canteen for dinner.

Because the technical staff of the first branch often worked overtime, the chef of the third canteen was on duty all year round. When he saw Li Ye coming, he immediately cooked half a table of food.

The three men were indeed hungry, and they ate voraciously, complaining as they ate.

"Li Ye, you are so generous. We went to look for Jiang Xiaoyan, but she wasn't at home. Her mother runs a restaurant, but she didn't even invite us to dinner. And when we asked her where you lived, she said she didn't know. But I clearly heard her say last time that Jiang Xiaoyan often visited your house."

"Haha, I moved! Jiang Xiaoyan knew where I lived before, but now she doesn't know."

Li Ye said perfunctorily with a smile.

Jiang Xiaoyan and her mother must know where he lives, but they evaded the question by saying they didn't know because they were not related.
After all, not everyone can step into Li Ye's house.

However, the three students in front of him obviously did not realize this and thought that Jiang Xiaoyan was being unkind.

In other words, they attach great importance to the "classmate friendship" between themselves and Li Ye.

Li Ye had encountered this situation in his previous life.

At that time, he rented a house in a big city. A classmate came to find a job and lived in his house for several months, eating and sleeping with him. In the end, they had a quarrel over a trivial matter and posted many words in the classmate group that made Li Ye grit his teeth.

I ate, drank and lived for free for three months, but in the end I received comments like "not a good friend" and "cold-hearted". Do you think I should be angry?

The problem was that some people in the class group started to make a fuss and criticized Li Ye, saying things like "looking down on others" and "snob". In the end, Li Ye was so angry that he just quit the group.

【Why did they come? 】

After the three of them finished eating, Li Ye asked tentatively, "Are you here in Beijing for tourism? Or for business?"

Hong Zhiyuan said frankly: "We came here specifically to see you."

Li Ye asked in surprise: "You came all the way to see me? What do you want from me?"

Hong Zhiyuan wiped his mouth and said, "One of my cousins ​​has offended you. I hope you can show mercy and let him live."

"."

Li Ye's face slowly calmed down, neither happy nor angry, without a single expression.
