That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1247 We Are on the Same Path (Two in One)

After Director Song finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Li Ye was embarrassed, Uncle Yue was also embarrassed, and Wen Qingsheng's expression was also unnatural.

Because Li Ye just asked the other person "Are you selling noodles?", he was suspected of "exposing someone's shortcomings".

Director Song's words, "I don't sell noodles anymore, I sell ducks," are even more thought-provoking. It feels like an honest man who can no longer bear it and picks up a soft knife to stab back fiercely.

Wen Qingsheng frowned and scolded Li Ye, "Who told you this nonsense? Are you asking about buying noodles from thousands of miles away?"

Li Ye hurriedly said, "Dad, please don't misunderstand me. This is what happened. There is an engineer named Jie in our unit. Some of his classmates seem to have been assigned to Director Song's system.

He told me that the conditions there were quite difficult, and several leading leaders tried to raise funds for normal research, and it seemed that some people even distributed the foreign exchange they saved from going abroad to the researchers.

"Yes, that's true."

Director Song took over the conversation and said in a low voice: "It was a leader in our system who was punished for this matter, because the foreign exchange must be returned according to regulations.
But now everything is about money, if you don’t raise the wages of young people, they will run away in a blink of an eye.”

"I was too embarrassed to set up a stall to sell noodles at first, as I felt it was embarrassing. In the end, my family members stepped up to support the stall.
Now I don’t care anymore, otherwise I wouldn’t have switched from selling noodles to selling chickens and ducks. Selling chickens and ducks is better than selling noodles, and you can make more money!”

"."

Director Song spoke slowly and leisurely, just like a good old man talking about trivial things from the past.

But those who listened to the story were all moved.

No matter how difficult the life of a research institute is, it will not be difficult for people at the level of the director. Even if the research funds approved by the higher-ups every year are small, as long as they get a handful, they can make a fortune.

But a director of an institute actually sells chicken and duck noodles, and the money he earns is more than just for himself. How many people like him are there?
Uncle Yue lowered his head in shame, and Wen Qingsheng couldn't help but look at Li Ye.

Since he called Li Ye to come over, he actually hoped that Li Ye would be generous.

But no one knows a daughter better than her father. Wen Qingsheng knew that Tian Wen Leyu was unhappy about this, so he felt a little conflicted.

And the fact that Wen Leyu brought a plate of watermelon just now abruptly proved that his daughter was not happy about this.

Wen Qingsheng also knew that Li Ye "favored" Wen Leyu. If his own daughter was unhappy, Li Ye would basically be unhappy too.

But this time, Wen Qingsheng guessed wrong.

Li Ye had heard about "noodles" in his previous life, and in this life he heard the old commentator talk about "foreign exchange", so he had sincere admiration and respect for this group of aviation people who moved from Fengtian to Sichuan Province.

However, Li Ye cannot get involved in military-industrial enterprises at will. Even if he wants to sponsor them, he has to wait for an opportunity, otherwise people will think that he has ulterior motives!

So even though Wen Leyu warned Li Ye that he must not spend a penny before entering the door, Li Ye felt that the opportunity had come after confirming the other party's identity.

"I think this is how I see the sponsorship issue."

"Li Ye, come here and help me kill this fish. My mother and I can't kill it."

"."

Li Ye was interrupted by Wen Leyu in the kitchen before he could finish his sentence.

Li Ye smiled awkwardly at Director Song, got up quickly and went into the kitchen, and said to Teacher Ke: "What's wrong, Mom? Which fish is tired of living and asked me to clean it up?"

Teacher Ke pointed at a live fish with a smile, then pouted at Wen Leyu and said, "These two fish are unwilling to give in. You take care of them!"

"Why am I dissatisfied? I feel wronged."

Wen Leyu rolled his eyes at his mother, then asked Li Ye in a low voice: "Are you ready to pay?"

Li Ye pursed his lips and whispered: "If they are telling the truth, then it doesn't matter if they give a little."

"I knew you were easily deceived. There are many companies in need. If you set an example, there will be many more people coming to your door to beg for alms. Can you give them all?"

"This"

Li Ye was silent. There were many units that were short of money these days. If Li Ye showed off too much, he would probably be envied.

"Ah~"

Wen Leyu sighed and said helplessly: "Even if you want to donate to them, you can't be so happy. You suffered so much injustice a while ago, you have to complain and cry out for your injustice!"

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "Will it be useful to appeal to them?"

Wen Leyu said confidently: "It works. If you don't believe me, ask our mother."

Li Ye looked at Teacher Ke in surprise.

Teacher Ke didn't answer, but nodded seriously.

"Okay, I understand then,"

Li Ye thought about it, then said to Wen Leyu: "Then you should prepare and solve it for them as soon as possible. How about 100 million?"

Wen Leyu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll prepare it for you as soon as possible."

Although the young wife was somewhat unwilling, she would support Li Ye's decision even if she felt bad.

However, Mr. Ke said, "Li Ye, there is no return for this money, why don't you discuss it with your mother?"

"My mother would definitely agree. She is also a member of the D team."

"."

Li Ye, Wen Leyu and Teacher Ke agreed on the sponsorship amount and were about to kill the fish, but suddenly they heard footsteps from the living room and the faint voice of Wen Qingsheng trying to keep them.

"Don't leave in such a hurry! Lao Yue, what are you doing? We need to have a drink today."

"No, no, it's not convenient today."

"It's broken~"

Li Ye ran out with a knife in his left hand and a fish in his right hand, and stopped Director Song and others before they could leave.

"I'm just killing a fish, why are you in such a hurry to leave, Uncle Yue? Don't you want the sponsorship?"

"."

Uncle Yue looked at the knife in Li Ye's hand, then at the lively fish, and suddenly felt embarrassed.

“We think today is not very convenient.”

"It's convenient, of course," Li Ye said quickly, "I just thought of some ideas for sponsorship and was just about to discuss it with you! Can you sit for a while and I'll come out and talk to you after I kill the fish?"

Director Song and Uncle Yue looked at each other and said awkwardly, "Okay then!"

Wen Qingsheng got angry when he saw Li Ye's expression: "Old Yue, I told you guys that you were thinking wrong, didn't you? Really, how could you not believe me? You will drink three cups of wine as punishment later."

"Yes, yes, I wronged you."

Li Ye returned to the kitchen, slaughtered the fish in no time, and then returned to the living room.

Then he pointed at Wen Qingsheng and explained, "Actually, I am to blame for what happened today, because I suffered a little injustice a few days ago, and then I complained a lot to my dad, and said that I would never waste money again.

So my dad misunderstood me, otherwise he would have just made a phone call and arranged everything without even asking me to come over."

Uncle Yue was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Have you been wronged? What kind of grievance?"

Li Ye said awkwardly: "It's not really a grievance."

"Isn't this considered unfair?"

Wen Qingsheng reprimanded Li Ye, then explained: "Isn't my son-in-law in charge of technical work at the Haidian Automobile Factory? He has been insisting on the research of domestic technology for many years.
But you also know the current situation in our mainland. Some people who have listened to Western ideas think that my son-in-law is a hindrance. They say that their technology is backward and that they are wasting the country's money. But it is clear that their factory has only received 200,000 yuan in support from the country from the beginning to the end."

"."

Wen Qingsheng's words left Director Song and Uncle Yue stunned.

At the end, Uncle Yue almost slammed the table and said, "Fuck, this is not considered unfair? Lao Wen, why didn't you tell me about this? I must punish them."

Wen Qingsheng said, "Now do you understand why I can't give you a definite answer? My son-in-law and my in-laws are not stingy people. They can get tens of millions with just a flick of their fingers. But after spending so much money, they got into such a mess. I am really embarrassed to make the decision for him."

"."

"I understand, I understand. Don't worry. No matter what happened today, I will take the blame for the child."

Wen Qingsheng raised his head and said to Li Ye, "Your uncle Yue wants to vent his anger for you, how do you respond?"

Li Ye said embarrassedly: "The money has been spent too quickly in the past few years, and there is not much left. What I mean is to sponsor 100 million, and then cooperate on some civilian projects, so that we can make a steady income and be self-sufficient."

"Bang~"

Wen Qingsheng slapped the table, raised his chin and said, "Look, what did I say? Is this kid a stingy person? He just felt wronged, but he just said it. When the country really needs him, he will not hesitate at all."

"This is a good child. Don't let him suffer any loss. Don't worry."

“.”.

The wine that Li Ye brought today was good, and the dishes that went with it were also good, especially the fish that Li Ye killed, which was delicious.

So when Wen Qingsheng, Director Song and others started drinking, the atmosphere quickly became harmonious and they started talking completely.

Director Song took Li Ye and said, "To be honest with you, Director Li, we have been in Beijing for four or five days. We have been asking for help everywhere and hitting a wall everywhere. We have no clue at all. In the end, we found Lao Yue to try our luck. I didn't expect that we would have another drink, another drink."

Uncle Yue said quickly, "Hey, Old Song, you can't be resentful! I understand your feelings, but now our focus is on economic development, and we pursue economic benefits in everything we do. Your life is a bit hard, but you can't complain."

Director Song may have realized that what he said was a bit too much, so he lowered his head and said, "Yes, yes, I just complained a few words, I don't blame anyone in my heart."

Seeing Director Song's expression, Li Ye smiled and tried to smooth things over, "I understand Director Song's feelings, because sometimes I feel the same way as him, we are all anxious!

Uncle Yue, you may not know that the engines we are currently researching are at the forefront of domestic technology in the mainland, but internationally, they are only at the level of seven or eight years ago.

"I think Director Song is also worried, afraid that he will not be able to catch up with the world's top level. He is also afraid that if we encounter a war like the one in the Middle East in the future, our people will suffer a great loss in technology."

"."

Wen Qingsheng, Director Song, and Uncle Yue were all silent.

Just at this moment, the TV started broadcasting news about the Gulf War, showing the wreckage of fighter planes shot down by multinational forces, which made Wen Qingsheng and others even more depressed.

The current Saddam in the Middle East is no rookie at all. In the past ten years, he has received dual support from the Soviet Union and the Lighthouse. He is known as the fourth most powerful military country in the world, and his fighter jets are even more advanced than those in the mainland.

At least they have third-generation aircraft, while the mainland does not.

The current main air combat forces in the mainland are Qiye and PL-2, which are a whole generation behind others.

But now look at how Saddam is being beaten up by multinational forces. How can Director Song not be anxious?

Wen Qingsheng is also anxious!

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Ye changed the subject and said, "Well, should we talk about how to pay for the sponsorship?"

Director Song immediately raised his head and asked in a trembling voice, "Can this money be given directly to our company? We promise to spend all the money where it counts, and not waste a penny."

"Give it directly to your unit?"

Li Ye thought about it carefully.

In theory, this type of donation sponsorship is handled by special departments in the mainland, such as the Aviation Foundation.

But like Wen Leyu said, now there are difficulties everywhere. Director Song's unit is not loved by anyone. If the money is really handed over and then arranged in a coordinated manner, I don't know how much money will end up in their hands.

"Director Song, your unit should have the ability to produce civilian industrial products, right?"

"Have."

Director Song immediately said: "We have developed an industrial washing machine, which has reached the production stage. It has reliable performance, good quality and low price."

Li Ye nodded and said, "Then let's first inject some R&D funds into you in the name of joint research and production of washing machines, and then discuss the establishment of a joint venture washing machine factory.

Don't worry, we are not after your controlling stake, and I have some connections with Fenghua Clothing. They need industrial washing machines, and I can provide a batch of product orders."

"."

"Hey, Lao Wen, where did you find such a good son-in-law? He is both loyal and smart."

"Hey, this is not my credit~"

Wen Qingsheng said proudly, "This is the guy your brother and sister-in-law spotted when they were in Dongshan. He is a top student in the Economics Department of Peking University. I wouldn't brag about anything else, but when it comes to making money and doing business, he is definitely an expert."

"So it was my sister-in-law who chose me! I thought so!"

"What did you say? Are you saying I have bad eyesight?"

Wen Qingsheng rolled his eyes and said, "I was in the north at the time. If I were in Qingshui County, he would not be able to escape from my grasp."

"Hehehe, hehehe~"

"What are you laughing at? If you keep laughing I'll get mad!"

“Hehehe~hahaha~”

"."

Director Song was a little drunk, but when he said goodbye, he still held Li Ye's hand and shook it vigorously for a long time. Everything was said without words.

This is not only because Li Ye is "generous and righteous", but more importantly, Li Ye's idea of ​​"insisting on domestic research and development" coincides with his idea. The two can be said to be on the same path.

After seeing off all the guests, Wen Leyu smiled and said, "You two seem to be close friends regardless of age difference? Have you met a bosom friend?"

Li Ye said softly: "There are always some people who are worthy of respect. I am still far from them."

. . . . . . . . . . .

February 11th, Monday, the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month.

At this time, many units in Beijing no longer have much to do, and many people who want to return to their hometowns have already asked for leave and boarded the train back home.

The newspaper where Lu Xiuyue worked was no longer as busy as usual. The layout during the Spring Festival had basically been finalized. Except for a few unlucky guys who were chosen to stay, everyone was doing what they were supposed to do, and no one would care if they left early.

Lu Xiu Yue is one of the people who stayed behind during the Spring Festival, but she was not selected but asked to do so herself.

This is not because she is so dedicated, but because she is seeking to publish an important article recently, so she is actively showing her willingness and hopes that the editor-in-chief will arrange a space for her as soon as possible.

"Xiao Lu, the editor-in-chief wants you to come over."

"Hey, here we come."

Lu Xiu Yue was delighted and hurried to the editor-in-chief's office.

Her article had been submitted a long time ago, but the editor-in-chief had been "studying" it and now suddenly called her over. Was he going to publish it during the Spring Festival?
“That’s even better. If more people pay attention to this matter, Yuli can be saved sooner.”

Ever since Yuli was suddenly detained again a few days ago, Lu Xiu Yue has been actively running around and crying out for justice everywhere, hoping to help clear Yuli of her grievances.

But the situation this time was very complicated, and outsiders could not find out any information at all, so Lu Xiu Yue wanted to "expand the influence" again in order to achieve the goal of rescuing Yuli.

After all, they are not only "best friends", but also both returned from studying abroad, and they have a deep relationship because they appreciate each other.

“Tuk-tuk-tuk~”

Lu Xiuyue knocked on the door and entered the office: "Editor-in-chief, are you looking for me?"

The editor-in-chief nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "Xiao Lu, you don't have to be on duty at the newspaper this year, go home and reunite with your family!"

"How many days of rest?"

Lu Xiuyue was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "Editor-in-chief, I don't need to rest. I have already told my family, and they all support my work."

"Hu~~"

The editor-in-chief let out a long breath, then looked up at Lu Xiuyue and said, "The company is going to adjust your job. Go home and have a good rest for a few days. After the New Year, you will be far away from home when you go to your new post. It will not be convenient for you to go home."

"Far from home? How far?"

Lu Xiuyue was stunned for a moment, then suddenly asked in a hurry: "Editor-in-chief, why do you want to transfer my job?"

The editor-in-chief said calmly: "Daliang Mountain really needs motivated young people like you, so the publishing house decided to send you there to gain experience for a few years."

"How many years of experience?"

Lu Xiu Yue almost cursed.

She is already 27 or 28 years old and has a family. If she goes down to gain experience for a few years, will she be able to come back?

Moreover, going to Daliang Mountain to gain experience and think about the women's issues there is indeed room for gaining experience!

"Editor-in-Chief, can you tell me why?"

"."

The editor-in-chief threw a manuscript to Lu Xiu Yue.

"Don't get angry first. I'm telling you that it's better for you to go to Daliang Mountain than to stay in the capital."

When Lu Xiu Yue saw the manuscript, it was the one she had written to rescue Yuli.

[It’s over. I was killed by Yuri.]

But what Lu Xiu Yue didn’t know was that she was just an insignificant little shrimp. This ending was already a good one, and there were many people who were even more miserable!
