That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1228: Each one serves his own master, and has no choice

After discussing countermeasures with Wen Leyu, Li Ye put the affairs of the capital behind him and concentrated on riding horses, picking grapes and flying airplanes with the children in the manor, having a lot of fun.

But he pretended to know nothing, but some people didn't want him to be so comfortable.

On the third day after Wen Leyu arrived at Dengta, Wu Yan called anxiously: "Li Ye, when I reported to my family on time today, it was Niu Hongzhang who answered the phone.

I told him that you had gone out to discuss a contract with someone, and Lao Niu told me to bring you back immediately. He asked us to stop all business negotiations immediately and return to China today."

"."

Li Ye said with a relaxed smile: "End the negotiation immediately and return to China today? What is Lao Niu talking about? Are you going to use the twelve golden medals to recall Yue Fei?"

Wu Yan on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, then said in a deep voice: "I asked Lao Niu what happened, he didn't tell me directly, but just said that this was the opinion of the department, and our engine project might have to be suspended."

"Pause? Hehe~"

Li Ye laughed and said jokingly: "I have already paid the deposit to them, so he just suspends it?"

Wu Yan suddenly raised his voice and said impatiently: "Li Ye, you didn't hear clearly. It's not that we have to suspend the introduction of technology, but our entire engine research project. It's all the efforts of all of us over the years that have to be suspended."

"What are you in such a hurry for?"

Li Ye said with a smile: "Business matters are not Lao Niu's business, so why don't you just ignore it?"

Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, then he said worriedly: "But he said it was the opinion of the ministry. You should ask someone to find out if he is using this as a pretext to fool us.
In addition, can you find some connections and explain our situation to the higher-ups? We are just one step away from success. I promise that after you go back, the trial production will be successful within a year."

Only then did Li Ye understand that Wu Yan called him in such a hurry and asked him to "find a backer" as soon as possible.

Apparently, Wu Yan was frightened by Lao Niu's phone call.

Wu Yan is Professor Zhao's student and is well-informed about industry news. He knows that many projects have been forced to be cancelled in recent years, so he is really scared.

"Don't listen to Lao Niu."

Li Ye said comfortingly: "I don't need to ask to know that it is not an official notice, otherwise the person who called you would not be Niu Hongzhang, but General Manager Ma."

"Yeah too!"

Wu Yan suddenly understood something.

It is possible that someone in the ministry conveyed the verbal suggestion of "pause", but it is absolutely impossible for them to issue a formal written instruction.

Some people just like to torture others with this kind of ambiguous approach, such as "stop the project first and let's discuss it and decide later".
After much discussion, nothing came of it. There was no explanation and no responsibility, but the person involved has already lost half his life.

And now Ma Zhaoxian wants to suspend the efforts of hundreds of people for one or two years with just one phone call. His face is not big enough.

After Wu Yan figured it out, he felt much more relaxed: "I understand, Director Li, but how many days do we have to stay in the lighthouse?"

"Three to five days, seven days! Just have fun, don't take it personally."

"Hey, okay, I get it."

Wu Yan put down the phone, and Lao Jie beside him came over and asked, "How is it? What did Director Li say?"

Wu Yan said thoughtfully: "Director Li doesn't seem to be in a hurry. Do you think he got the news in advance?"

"Eighty percent of it is. Think about it, how did Director Li's family come here by chance? When has he ever put his work above his personal interests?"

Old Jie said confidently: "Your senior sister told me that Director Li is a capable and well-connected person. He is not seeking fame and is not corrupt. He has almost no weaknesses. Those who want to go against him will most likely end up in trouble."

"Okay! Tell these words to Lao Niu some other time, so that he won't find trouble all day long and then cry out in injustice when he gets into trouble."

"It's no use talking about it. We each serve our own masters and have no choice."

"."

Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, looked at Lao Jie strangely and asked, "Are we also serving different masters?"

Lao Jie sighed helplessly: "When did Li Ye ask us to charge into battle for him?"

. . . . . . . . . .

After Niu Hongzhang called on the first day, he called again on the second day, but Li Ye was still not there.

Wu Yan naturally just responded perfunctorily after receiving Li Ye's instructions and also made excuses by saying that he didn't know Li Ye's mobile phone number. It was useless for Niu Hongzhang to be anxious.

"Lao Jie, you said we don't have much to do, why doesn't Li Ye go back? What a big thing happened at home?"

"You think it's a big deal, but Li Ye may not think so. Besides, if we wait for a few days, the equipment and technical data will be delivered. Even if there is a commotion at home, they will not return the goods."

"Hiss, the rice has been cooked! There is something to it."

"."

Wu Yan thought that Li Ye was stepping up efforts to finalize the technical cooperation, but in fact, Li Ye was just taking the children on vacation.

"Little Dou'er, don't ride the horse into the water again. Horses are afraid of water!"

"No, Dad. I know the story of the pony crossing the river, but we are a big horse and the water in the river is only above our calves."

"I"

Xiao Dou'er is very talented in horse riding. After a few days, he has become accustomed to sitting in Li Ye's arms and riding the horse.

But today the little girl suddenly became obsessed with riding horses through water, which gave Li Ye a headache.

The previous owner of Li Ye's manor was not a man who lived a good life. The terrain of the whole manor was only repaired to highlight the "beautiful scenery", so there was a shallow river across the whole manor. After Xiao Dou'er was carried by Li Ye across the river once, she always tried to control the reins to let the horse wade across the river. Li Ye tried to stop her several times but she was unwilling to give up and also learned to be stubborn.

Li Ye was really helpless. This little thing was his own child, he couldn't just educate him with slaps, right?
So Li Ye could only patiently explain to his daughter: "Xiaodou'er, do you know why the horse is willing to be ridden by us? Because it trusts us, it believes that we will not let them fall into danger.
In fact, most horses don’t like to go into the water, but they just trust us. Also, the bottom of the stream is uneven, and if there are stones or other sharp objects, they will scratch the horse’s calves.”

"But, but"

Xiaodou grumbled a few times, then said unconvincedly: "But Dad, you took me across the river on horseback this morning!"

[Oh my god, you are quite good at talking! But don’t you know that adults are good at talking tough? ]

Li Ye immediately said, "Didn't I take you over there to see the sunrise? Isn't the sunrise beautiful this morning?"

"beautiful."

"Isn't that all for you?"

"Yes."

"Have you figured it out?"

"I've figured it out. Tomorrow I'm going to ride a horse and take my dad to see the sunrise."

【What the hell.】

Looking at Xiaodouer who was talking to him seriously, Li Ye really lost his temper.

"Okay, okay, now dad will teach you some skills on how to cross the river on horseback, but this skill can only be used once a day. If you use it too much, it won't work."

"Okay, okay."

Xiao Dou'er's evil plan succeeded, and he immediately howled with excitement.

Li Ye drove his horse to the riverside and then reined in the horse: "Girl, look down at the river water on the left and try to see if you feel dizzy. Then look to the right and try to see if you feel dizzy."

After looking at it for more than ten seconds, Xiaodou shook his head vigorously: "Dad, I feel dizzy when I look to the left, but not when I look to the right!"

How can you not feel dizzy? Anyone who sees it will feel dizzy.

"That's right! If you get dizzy, the horse will get dizzy too. Wouldn't it be dangerous if the horse gets dizzy while crossing the river?"

"So before crossing a river, you should first check whether the water is flowing fast. If it is, you should pay attention to the direction of the water flow, then pull the reins to keep the horse's head looking upstream. Don't look down at the water, look at the flowers and plants in the distance."

Li Ye taught Xiao Douer step by step, and finally made him understand something.

When you are in a rapids, you should either look into the distance or look upstream of the current, otherwise you will suffer from visual confusion and dizziness.

War horses are apt to become agitated if their heads are pointed the wrong way while wading through water.

"Oh oh, I remember Dad!"

Xiaodou pulled the reins excitedly and tapped the mare's body with his little feet, causing the docile mare to tilt her head and cross the stream with a clatter, then let out a happy "chuckle~"

Children, every time they learn a new skill, they will get a great sense of satisfaction, even if this skill is useless like climbing a tree or digging a bird's nest.

So now that you have learned it, how can you only use it once a day?
"Dad, Dad, let me ride again."

"No, that's the last time you said it."

"Dad, good dad, please, let's do it again."

"Tell me the truth, how many more times do you want to go on?"

"Once, just once."

"."

In just half an hour, Li Ye was exhausted both physically and mentally. Looking at his daughter, who looked sincere, well-behaved and cute, but did not keep her word, he felt endless sadness in his heart.

[How come I met another difficult woman! ]

Just when Li Ye hardened his heart for the eighth time and wanted to slap his daughter on the butt but couldn't let it go, his cell phone suddenly rang.

[Thank God, there is finally a reason. This must be a very important call.]

After Li Ye quickly answered the call, he heard Wu Yan's anxious voice.

"Director Li, something happened. Lao Jie and Chen Yazhi were detained."

"Withheld? Withheld what?"

Li Ye was shocked and asked quickly, "Tell me slowly, what's going on?"

Wu Yan said anxiously: "We have nothing to do today, so we went out for a walk. However, when we counted the number of people in the afternoon, Lao Jie and Chen Yazhi were missing.

We thought they were just having fun, but just now a call came from Chinatown saying that Lao Jie and Chen Yazhi were hooligans, and asked us to bring money to redeem them immediately, otherwise they would send Lao Jie and Chen Yazhi to the police station. But do you know who Lao Jie is? How could he be a hooligan? "

Li Ye was surprised and said, "Oh my god, this is not a trap, is it?"

But Wu Yan said, "Don't honey traps start with hooliganism? Old Jie would never be a hooligan."
