That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1176 Li Ye wants to take the opportunity to cause trouble
The captain of the Matou Township construction team had a Jialing 70 motorcycle, so after receiving Wang Jinyu's call, he arrived in less than half an hour, which shows how eager he was for the balance of more than yuan.

When he arrived at the door, he saw Chief Ou from the Infrastructure Department of the City Motor Vehicle Factory waiting at the door.

Without even waiting for the motorcycle to stop, Chief Ou shouted in disgust: "Old Ma, you only got here in half an hour on this 20-mile mountain road. Did you drive here at high speed? If you fall and die on the road, will you blame us?"

Lao Ma was stunned by Chief Ou's scolding, but he quickly took out his cigarette case and said with a smile on his face: "Chief Ou, what are you so angry about so early in the morning? Have a cigarette to calm down first."

Lao Ma had worked on projects at the Zhucheng Motor Vehicle Factory for several months and had had a lot of dealings with Chief Ou. He knew that he could not afford to offend the other party, so even though he was unhappy about being scolded, he had to force a smile.

But Section Chief Ou pushed Lao Ma's hand away and said disdainfully: "I want one of your cigarettes!"

"."

Lao Ma was really upset. You shouldn't hit someone who smiles at you. Everyone has a temper. If he hadn't heard that Section Chief Ou was holding onto his project payment, he would have jumped up and beaten him up long ago.

But Lao Ma had no idea of ​​the grievances Chief Ou felt.

As soon as he got to work this morning, Wang Jinyu called him over and scolded him, asking him what kind of construction company he found. He actually framed the company, which made Director Li who came from Beijing very unhappy.

Although he thinks he is innocent in this matter, such a thing happened just after the leader from Beijing arrived in the city. Isn't this an eye drop for me?

So how could he still be nice to Lao Ma at this moment?

"Let me ask you, who told you that our factory owed you money for the project? You picked a good day and asked the two children to come to us to collect the debt? When did I ever owe you money?"

Old Ma was stunned, then suddenly said: "You are talking about Xiaoxia and Xiaohao, right? This is what happened. They were cooking in our team at that time.
A few days ago, Xiaoxia's mother fell ill. She had no money to go to the hospital, so she had to stay in the township clinic. I have already paid for their wages, but I really can't afford the food."

After listening to Lao Ma's explanation, Section Chief Ou's expression improved a little, but he still said angrily: "Then you can't spread rumors, right? Those who know will think that the construction company and the construction team are arguing, and those who don't know will think that I embezzled the money!"

Lao Ma immediately said aggrievedly: "How dare I spread rumors? I went to the construction company to calculate my wages, but they said that your factory did not give them the project payment, and the project payment was paid by them."

"They fart and you believe it!"

Chief Ou glared at Lao Ma, then turned and walked back to the factory: "Come with me! The people from the construction company will be here later, and you must have a three-way confrontation in front of our factory leaders, and you are not allowed to tell a single lie."

"Hey, I won't tell lies"

Lao Ma hurriedly followed Chief Ou and asked worriedly as he walked, "Chief Ou, have the factory leaders informed the construction company? After the confrontation, can we get our wages back?"

"Old Ma, do you think Teng Hongmiao will give you the money?"

"I, how would I know?"

Section Chief Ou snorted and laughed, "You work for Teng Hongmiao, do you expect to get all the money?"

"."

Lao Ma knew that Chief Ou was gloating, but at this point, he could only grit his teeth and move forward.

When he arrived at the office, Lao Ma saw Li Ye and his heart began to beat fast.

[This person is so young, could he be the same type as Teng Hongmiao? ]

Li Ye also looked at Lao Ma carefully.

Lao Ma was wearing a poorly fitting suit that looked like the work of a second-rate tailor. He was wearing a pair of slip-on leather shoes, and there was a little mud on his rolled-up trouser legs.

This is a standard foreman image.

He wants to actively change his fate, but is always in a weak position. He is cunning but also smart and aggressive, just like a fox in the jungle, who has to avoid tigers and bully rabbits.

So Li Ye asked directly: "Who gave you this brilliant idea to let the two children come to me? You can't afford to offend the people at the construction company, so you planned to make me offend them?"

"."

After Li Ye finished speaking, not only Lao Ma was shocked, but also Wang Jinyu and Chief Ou were shocked.

Li Ye actually suspected that Lao Ma was plotting against him, and judging by Li Ye's voice, he even suspected that someone else was plotting against him.

Old Ma was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained: "No, no, I don't have any tricks. How dare I plot against you?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "You didn't? We just arrived last night, and two kids came to ask for money early this morning. And you still say you didn't scheme against us?"

"I really didn't"

Lao Ma still wanted to argue, but after seeing Li Ye's eyes, he could only smile bitterly and was speechless.

At this moment, he felt that the gaze of the young man opposite him was as sharp as a knife, piercing straight into his heart and seeing clearly his hidden little thoughts.

There are many smart people in this world, and the ideas he can come up with may not be unguessable by others. Lao Ma knew that Teng Hongmiao had a bad character, so when he said that the car factory owed him no money for the project, Lao Ma did not believe it at all.

At least not completely.

But the total project fee was only 40,000 yuan, and Teng Hongmiao paid more than 10,000 yuan less. He was asked to pay the debt by a group of relatives and friends every day. The feeling was really unbearable!

It just so happened that Xiaoxia's mother was really sick, so Lao Ma took advantage of the situation and came up with this trick, hoping that the leaders from Beijing would take the child's pity into consideration and take care of the matter.

Whether it's the car factory that owes money or the construction company that's too unscrupulous, as long as someone is in charge, it's better than dragging it on and on and eventually losing everything.

But now it seems that I have done more harm than good, and I may not be able to get the ten thousand dollars back.

But just when Lao Ma was feeling ashamed, the girl named Xiaoxia stepped forward to help him out.

Xiaoxia said to Li Ye in a panic, "Director Li, it's not like that. Captain Ma is not a treacherous person. In order to pay us wages, he sold all the food and dried sweet potatoes at home at a low price.

Captain Ma originally wanted to pay off the money my mother owed for food, but his own relatives had not received their wages, so they had several arguments.
If my mother hadn't been ill, I wouldn't have caused him any trouble. I know that debt collectors are annoying nowadays."

"."

Li Ye looked at Xiaoxia's anxious expression and was sure that she was not acting in cooperation with Captain Ma.

If a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child could deceive Li Ye, then she must be a natural-born movie queen.

Moreover, Xiaoxia's words "debt collectors are all annoying" made Li Ye feel deeply touched.

I remember that for ten thousand dollars, I lost a good brother, and in the end I became the "annoying" person.

Although it is the 1990s, there are still many people like Xiaoxia and Lao Ma who, in order to abide by the moral principles passed down by their ancestors, would rather suffer losses themselves and pay back the money they owe for food and labor first.

But what about another ten or eight years?
When everyone sees those deadbeats building Western-style houses and driving luxury cars, how much morality is left in everyone's hearts?
Li Ye gently asked Lao Ma: "The people from the construction company told you in person that we owed them money for the project, right?"

Old Ma was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, otherwise I would never have come to the car factory to cause trouble even if I had the guts to do so!"

Li Ye waved his hand and said, "Then go wait next door for a while. When the people from the construction company come, we can discuss this matter together."

"Okay, okay."

After Lao Ma and the brother and sister went to the next door, Wang Jinyu frowned and looked at Li Ye, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Li Ye smiled and said, "Old Wang, are you trying to accuse me of meddling in other people's business?"

Wang Jinyu said awkwardly, "That's not the case, but Teng Hongmiao is not a very polite person, so we'd better mediate this matter, otherwise there might be a dispute."

Li Ye looked at Wang Jinyu and said calmly: "Do you think this matter has nothing to do with us?
But what if Xiaoxia’s mother got sick and had an accident, and everyone ended up saying that it was because we didn’t pay for the project that her treatment was delayed?”

"How can that be possible?" Wang Jinyu said immediately, "We have accounts of all the money transactions with the construction company, which are clear and clean. If anyone dares to spread rumors about us, we will see you in court."

"Ah~"

Li Ye sighed.

How can anything in this world be clear and clean? When Li Ye saw the two children wolfing down their food, could he be at peace even if he was sober and rational?
"Old Wang! You've been studying in the first branch for a while. What do you think will happen if this happens to the first branch?"

"It's just a branch factory? I'm not sure."

Wang Jinyu couldn't answer the question because he had only been an "intern" in the first branch for less than ten days and didn't really understand the branch's processing procedures.

Li Ye smiled and said, "Of course you can't say it, because this kind of thing will never happen to the first branch. If someone shouts everywhere that the first branch owes money and doesn't pay it back, everyone will think he is a liar."

"This is where the reputation of the first branch lies, so today we will use this small matter to start building our reputation in the city."

"We don't care how others owe us money. We start with ourselves. We want to make sure that when people mention our automobile factory, they don't associate it with debt. This is part of our corporate culture."

"Oh, I see."

Wang Jinyu seemed to understand that Li Ye was trying to "take the opportunity to cause trouble"!

During the days he visited and studied at the first branch, he was deeply impressed by the corporate culture of the branch.

The young people in the first branch are very proud to be employees of the first branch. No matter what happens, as long as it involves the first branch, they will absolutely and spontaneously safeguard the image and interests of the first branch.

Compared with other units, the cohesion of the first branch is simply too strong.

If we can make the city-based side have the same cohesion as a branch factory in Beijing, then it is not impossible to offend Teng Hongmiao.
