That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1300 When You're Famous, You're Surrounded by Kind People
The news that He Dazhuang was "stirring things up" at the main factory quickly reached Li Ye's ears. This time, the person who gave him the news was not Li Ye's loyal partner Lu Zhizhang, but Huang Mengjia, whom Li Ye had personally promoted.

"Factory Manager, Factory Manager, your classmate just went to the main factory, saying he wanted to report a problem related to you, but it seems he didn't go to see Lao Niu afterwards, and ran off in a hurry."

"."

Huang Mengjia was articulate and had high emotional intelligence. She not only quickly explained He Dazhuang's specific movements to Li Ye, but also avoided touching on the "style" issues that Li Ye disliked.
Everyone had been speculating about why Li Ye had suddenly become enraged and hit someone, but now, after hearing the news from the main factory, they finally understood why He Dazhuang had been beaten.

Li Ye has a very clear attitude towards good and evil. He will never bully those who are weaker than him, but if the other party is narrow-minded and slanderous, he will never tolerate it, no matter how weak he is.

Seeing that Huang Mengjia had found out so much information in such a short time, Li Ye couldn't help but ask, "My classmate just left not long ago, right? How did you know?"

Huang Mengjia blinked and said with a grin, "Factory Director, many people at the head office admire and respect you, so we don't need to ask around; people have already told us."

Li Ye chuckled and said, "What are you saying? Admiration, reverence—are these words I should be using? Don't spread such incorrect statements in the future! You're just stirring up trouble for me!"

"Attracting hatred?"

Huang Mengjia was stunned for a moment before she understood the meaning of the new word.

Then she chuckled and said, "I understand, factory manager. I'll tell them to be more careful from now on."

"Right, there are plenty of leaders in our unit, who am I? Don't flatter me too much, or I'll fall flat on my face."

"Okay, I understand, factory manager. If there's nothing else, I'll head out now."

"."

As Li Ye watched Huang Mengjia leave, it was as if he were seeing a scene from his past life at the workplace.

When someone is at the peak of their career at work, they will be the first to know about any slight movement or event in the workplace, and there will be plenty of people trying to curry favor with them and pass on information.

When someone is having a run of bad luck at work, they are likely to be the last to know any news, and even colleagues in the same department will avoid exchanging information with them.

This echoes what a certain celebrity once said: "When you're famous, everyone around you is a good person."

When the first branch factory was first established, if you wanted to get some information from the main factory, you had to rely on the connections that Lu Zhizhang had built up over the past twenty years. Now, even Huang Mengjia, a new generation, can get information in no time.

"I watched him build a magnificent mansion, I watched him host lavish banquets, and I watched his mansion collapse. Bah, bah, bah, what nonsense are you spouting?"

. . . . . . . . .

Li Ye made a slip of the tongue, using the wrong expression of emotion. The real reason was that he had received news from Su'e in the north that day.
The collapse of Sugo's vast empire perfectly aligns with the above statement.

That evening, Li Ye received a phone call from Jin Peng and Huo Renqiang from Su'e.

"Ono, everything you predicted has come true. Er Mao also declared himself an independent sovereign state yesterday. We've been waiting for five years. What should we do next?"

Jin Peng tried his best to appear calm on the phone, but his trembling voice made Li Ye clearly feel his intense excitement.

Five years have passed; Jin Peng has been in Beijing for five years. When he left, Fenghua Clothing in the mainland had already become a force to be reckoned with, and he was a core member trusted by Li Ye even more than Hao Jian.
However, after Li Ye mentioned it only a few times, he resolutely handed over most of his team to Li Yue and took the rest of his loyal followers to the north.

Although Li Ye had received plenty of dividends from Jin Peng over the years, he couldn't be 100% sure that Jin Peng wouldn't harbor resentment at the sudden opportunity to be sent to a foreign country to "pioneering" things at the height of his success.

But now, Jin Peng has absolutely no lingering resentment.

After all, Li Ye's "divine prediction" five years ago that Suzhou University would collapse had a huge psychological impact on Jin Peng.

"Hello, Ono, are you still listening? Can't you hear me clearly? The phone line here has been bad these past few days."

Li Ye quickly replied, "I can hear you clearly. I just thought about it and I think we shouldn't make any big moves for now. We should just continue to increase trade in daily necessities."
After all, they've only just separated, and even though the ship is wrecked, they still have three thousand nails left. It's not time to sell their fields, land, or children yet.

"Hahaha~, I got it. Let's wait until they're half-starved before we talk."

Jin Peng responded to Li Ye with a humorous remark, saying that he had been doing business in the north for five years and of course knew how to maximize profits.

"."

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li, this is Huo Renqiang. I need to say a few words to you."

The person on the other end of the phone was different; it was Ah-Qiang, a former Hong Kong gangster, who excitedly spoke with Li Ye.

Li Ye smiled and said, "Qiang, are you settling in well over there? Remember to call home more often; your wife must be very worried about you."

Ah Qiang said, "It's alright, Mr. Li. My wife just told me that I should put the country first, that heroes emerge in times of chaos, and that this is the time to make a name for myself."
I've already informed Lao Pei and told him to quickly raise funds. As soon as they loosen their grip, we can go all out.

Li Ye was taken aback, surprised by A-Qiang's wife's behavior.

Do all wives in the world have a desire to encourage their husbands to strive for success?

Li Ye thought for a moment and then instructed A-Qiang: "A-Qiang, don't be impatient. You must wait for my news and follow Brother Peng's advice. Don't act rashly, because there are some things that are not for us to handle on our own. We can do a great service just by playing a supporting role."

Ah Qiang quickly replied, "I understand, Mr. Li. Over the years, I've seen things clearly: no matter how strong an individual is, they are just an ant that can be crushed at any time in the face of a nation's strength."

"Okay, Qiang, as long as you understand."

The reason Li Ye emphasized this issue to Jin Peng was because he was worried that Jin Peng might act rashly on his own initiative.

If he's in the business of selling clothing, shoes, hats, and daily necessities, there's nothing wrong with what he does. But if he wants to get involved in certain special items or industries, he needs strong backing.

Otherwise, think about how a certain big shot was doing very well at the beginning, but then he wanted to buy a satellite and suffered a huge loss.

Do you think you can just play with satellites whenever you want?

Could it be that the large ship belonging to the Er Mao family was transported all the way to the mainland by just one person surnamed Xu in Hong Kong?
Come on! There are plenty of unsung heroes behind the scenes.
