That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1198: Flattery
Shi Jichao's shout startled everyone who came to the hotel to celebrate the full moon.

Li Ye saw that Zhou Ziqing's father had stood up in anger, but was held down by his wife and several other relatives.

No father could tolerate the abuse of someone like Shi Jichao under such circumstances.

And the purpose of Shi Jichao's coming today was obviously to achieve such a result.

In particular, there were not only relatives of Zhou Ziqing and Lao Jie at the scene, but also many colleagues from the branch factory. They embarrassed Zhou Ziqing in front of outsiders, which could be said to be malicious.

Zhou Ziqing comforted her father, then explained something to her husband and walked towards the door of the hall.

When she came closer, she said calmly, "There's no need to stop him, Director Li. Everyone who comes today is a guest, even a bad guest. People in our Xie family are not as impolite as some people."

Li Ye sighed, let go of Shi Jichao, and said sincerely: "Sister Zhou, I admire your generosity. Old Jie was able to marry you, which really showed his wisdom."

Li Ye not only admired Zhou Ziqing's magnanimity, but also her decisiveness and wisdom.

When Zhou Ziqing came up, she said "We are from the old Xie family", which shows that she is now Xie Xinsheng's wife. If you, Shi Jichao, say today that a husband and wife are bound by a hundred days of grace, don't blame her for speaking to you in a manly way.

When Li Ye said that Lao Jie had a keen eye for identifying talent, he was also satirizing Shi Jichao for being blind.

Zhou Ziqing said ashamedly: "Director Li, you are too kind. It's just a little family matter. I made a fool of myself."

Li Ye raised his eyebrows and said sternly, "No, in front of so many people today, no one dares to laugh at you."

"嘁~"

Shi Jichao smiled disdainfully, walked into the banquet hall, and went straight to the table where Zhou Ziqing's parents were sitting.

Li Ye immediately winked at Lu Zhizhang who was comforting Zhou Ziqing's father.

Lu Zhizhang walked over decisively and held Shi Jichao's hand with a smile on his face: "Deputy Director Shi, right? I am Lu Zhizhang, the director of the first branch factory. I can barely be considered Zhou Ziqing's leader. Today, I am glad to see you in person.
When I met Director Liang of your factory a few days ago, we talked about you together! I didn’t expect to meet you today. Come on, let’s go to our table. There are many friends from brother companies who can meet you.”

When Shi Jichao heard Lu Zhizhang mention Director Liang, his eyes suddenly changed.

After all, the First Branch is now a large factory with nearly 10,000 employees, and Lu Zhizhang's status is not low. If he "publicly interferes" with his own unit through Director Liang, it will be very disadvantageous to him.

Dirty things can only make others dirty, but never make yourself dirty.

So now that Lu Zhizhang was trying to pull Shi Jichao in, he didn't dare to go. Besides, it was not convenient for him to go to Zhou Ziqing's father's table. Finally, he smiled strangely and suddenly walked up to the concierge desk in the banquet hall.

"Actually, I came here today mainly to talk to Ziqing's husband. I will leave right after I'm done. I don't think a grown man would shrink back and not dare to come out at this time, right?"

"."

Zhou Ziqing clenched her teeth tightly, trying her best to suppress the anger in her heart, fearing that she would lose control and scratch Shi Jichao's face.

She knew Shi Jichao too well. This guy coming here to cause trouble today not only embarrassed herself, but also embarrassed her husband Lao Jie. Otherwise, how could she have persuaded Lao Jie not to let her come with her?

Moreover, she had invited Li Ye to "calm the situation" because of this concern.

Shi Jichao has been the deputy factory director of the unit for many years. He has status and style, and he is very reasonable. However, he can also lower himself to use some despicable means, and he will not let anyone catch him. It is really hateful.

In Zhou Ziqing's opinion, perhaps only someone like Li Ye, who is "notorious" in the first branch, can control a "high-end" tough guy like Shi Jichao.

Sure enough, after Shi Jichao shouted, Li Ye immediately said, "What are you talking about? The men in our first branch are all upright and responsible. They are not coming out to save face for you! Don't worry, I will go and call someone for you now, don't leave! Don't leave!"

In fact, Lao Jie was right below and had already stood up, but Li Ye quickly went up to him and gave him a few words of advice.

"Do you know why this guy came today? He is so jealous of you. You are now a beautiful woman with two children, and he just can't stand seeing you doing well."

Lao Jie nodded and said, "I know, Director Li. Don't worry, I know what I am doing."

When Li Ye saw the gloomy face of Lao Jie, he felt that he was no match for Shi Jichao.

So someone reminded him, "When the guy in front of you came to the company to make trouble, Zhou Ziqing was the one who handled it beautifully. You have a straightforward temper, so we don't ask you to be smooth-talking, as long as you can resist beating him up."

Lao Jie was stunned: "Why should I beat him?"

Li Ye patted Lao Jie's shoulder and said helplessly: "It's hard to explain for the time being. Anyway, no matter how disgusting he is to you today, you should keep your composure. We promise to get you back this place later."

"Okay, I remember it."

Old Jie took a deep breath, walked up to Shi Jichao, and extended his hand in a friendly manner: "Hello, I heard Ziqing talk about you. She said yesterday that you might come today. I didn't expect you to really come." "Really?"

Shi Jichao said in surprise: "Then Ziqing and I really have a tacit understanding! But since you expected me to come, why couldn't you give me an invitation?"

Hearing the word "telepathy", Lao Jie's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.
However, he still said calmly: "Because neither of us likes you, and the elderly in the family don't welcome you either, but she knows that you are shameless and the more others hate you, the happier you are, so she guessed that you would come."

Shi Jichao was stunned for a moment, and pretended to be very sad and said: "Ziqing really misunderstood me. We broke up because of this misunderstanding. If we hadn't..."

Li Ye interrupted Shi Jichao and said with a smile: "Deputy Director Shi, can you stop talking so much nonsense? We are all very busy. If you want to hold a meeting, go back to your factory and don't waste our time."

Shi Jichao looked at Li Ye and asked in a deep voice: "I don't think I'm talking nonsense. Also, comrade, who are you?"

"I'm the deputy director of the first branch. I was the one who arranged Zhou Ziqing's job transfer. Do you have any objection?"

"."

Shi Jichao looked at Li Ye with a sharp look, but then he smiled and said, "So you are the Deputy Director Li. You are really as famous as the tree. Your reputation is well-deserved."

Li Ye also said with a fake smile: "Thank you very much. Although I know you are mocking me for my bad temper and my resentment, you are right to mock me. I am a bad-tempered person. If anyone makes me unhappy today, I will make him even more unhappy tomorrow."

"."

Shi Jichao looked at Li Ye, who seemed to be smiling, and suddenly he seemed to feel a chill coming towards him, wrapping his whole body tightly, making him shiver uncontrollably.

Before coming here, he had analyzed various possible situations and felt that in front of so many people, Zhou Ziqing would have to hold her anger in her heart, and if Zhou Ziqing's family members used violence, it would be even more lively.

However, Shi Jichao did not expect that Zhou Ziqing’s unit leader was so "nosy" that he constantly interfered with his speech and thinking, which made him extremely annoying, but helpless.

[It is difficult for an honest judge to settle family affairs. What are you worried about? ]

But Shi Jichao did not realize that Li Ye was actually the same person as him in some aspects.

I can be reasonable, and I can also be dishonest.

"Since Deputy Director Li thinks I'm talking nonsense, I'll make it short!"

Shi Jichao looked at Lao Jie and said seriously, "Ziqing is a good girl. I have taken care of her for seven years. Although we have to separate, I miss her very much.
Now that she is married to you, the task of taking care of her is now yours. I hope you can treat her well. If you don’t treat her well, I will never let you go.”

"Also, I need to remind you of some of Ziqing's living habits. For example, she cannot sleep alone at night, otherwise she will feel..."

Lao Jie's brows began to twitch. What on earth did it mean for a man to talk to him like this?
Li Ye had seen many such disgusting tactics decades later, so he immediately stood up and interrupted again.

"Wait a minute! You just said that you took care of Zhou Ziqing for seven years. Are you kidding? Does Zhou Ziqing need your care? This is such a joke."

"This is not a joke, this is the truth. Many people here know me and know about my past with Ziqing."

"That was before!"

Li Ye could no longer hold back his anger, he quickly stepped onto the stage and pushed Shi Jichao aside.

Then Li Ye said loudly: "I don't know what Zhou Ziqing was like before, but when she came to the first branch factory to discuss job transfer with me two years ago, I thought she was a capable, moral, and very independent woman."

"Two years have passed, and Zhou Ziqing has become the head of the personnel department of our first branch. We have nearly 8,000 people in Beijing and more than 3,000 people stationed in Dongshan.

But there are only six personnel officers to manage the personnel of these more than 10,000 employees, and except for Zhou Ziqing and another deputy section chief, the rest are all rookies who have just started working."

Li Ye pointed to the colleagues in the first branch of the factory and said, "But ask our colleagues whether the personnel management of the entire first branch is in good order? Is there any colleague who is dissatisfied with Section Chief Zhou?"

"It's clear that six people are managing more than 10,000 people. Do you think such people need to be taken care of? Are you just flattering yourself?"

"Hahahaha~"

The colleagues below were all very supportive. Even though Li Ye's jokes were not funny, they all looked at Shi Jichao and laughed.

But Li Ye then said: "But to flatter yourself, you must at least have a face! Otherwise, even if you are given gold, you won't be able to flatter yourself, right?"

"Hahahahahaha~"

This time, everyone laughed sincerely, including Zhou Ziqing's relatives and friends.
