That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1389 You'll listen to your father your whole life?

Upon hearing Lu Zhizhang mention "the driving force for common progress," Li Ye couldn't help but smile.

If you want a horse to run, feed it well. A manager who always makes empty promises to his subordinates will not gain their genuine loyalty.

So after the announcement of the upcoming establishment of Jingnan Group was issued, a group of people with ulterior motives began to think about how to secure a spot. After all, people like Li Ye, who like to "do things personally," would take several people with them when they were promoted, and people like Ma Zhaoxian and Lao Meng would take even more people with them.

In addition, there were rumors circulating that the unit would not only bring a group of key cadres, but also a group of ordinary cadres, and that it would have to fill half of the office building in order not to fall behind in the cooperation with Southwest Heavy Truck.

Just think about it! If you bring one person up, a position will be vacant in your original unit, and then a whole bunch of people will line up to get promoted one by one. This is definitely a large-scale personnel change that makes everyone happy.

However, those who had their eyes on Li Ye's job were not only the horses that had followed him for several years, but also the cattle and horses that had been wasting their lives at the main factory for countless years.

"Mr. Li, I'm bothering you again, hehe~"

Yue Lingshan entered Li Ye's office with a smile, knocked on the door, and placed a stack of documents on Li Ye's desk.

"Mr. Li, this is the main factory's parts procurement plan for this year and next year. Would you like to see if you have any suggestions?"

"Guidance?"

Li Ye smiled as he took the documents and casually asked, "Have you shown this plan to Lao Qiu?"

Yue Lingshan is the deputy head of the supply department of the main factory. The head of the department is Lao Qiu, so logically, this plan should have been given to Li Ye by Lao Qiu.

This Yue Lingshan, taking advantage of being Li Ye's first colleague, has been acting rather restless these past few days, and has come to see Li Ye several times under various pretexts.

But this time Yue Lingshan nodded and said, "I spoke with Lao Qiu, and he is very willing to hear your opinion, President Li. If you go to the group headquarters in the future, it won't be easy to get your opinion!"

"Oh~"

Li Ye didn't ask any more questions, but instead opened the procurement plan.

As expected, the first item in the procurement plan was automotive leaf springs, and the top item on the list was Fu Lianbing's Jinggang No. 2 Rolling Mill.

Li Ye almost laughed. Fu Lianbing's technical skills were undoubtedly excellent, but they had only just delivered a batch of leaf spring samples.

Making a procurement plan for them now would definitely not meet the "competitive procurement" standards set by Li Ye. It's all because Fu Lianbing is Li Ye's classmate that Yue Lingshan pulled this stunt.

No wonder Lao Qiu didn't come to deliver the documents. With such blatant flattery, he could easily get a severe scolding from Li Ye.

But Yue Lingshan wasn't afraid. First, she relied on her natural advantage as a woman, and second, she felt that her relationship with Li Ye was special.

When Li Ye first joined the company, he was in the same department as Yue Lingshan, but he had to call her "Sister Yue." She was a genuine old colleague and senior colleague.

Li Ye didn't actually curse anyone. Instead, he pretended to flip through the procurement plan and then said, "Don't change this year's plan. Don't announce next year's plan for now. Send a notice to all suppliers that the procurement bidding will be held next month, and all procurement plans will be based on the bidding results."

"Okay, Mr. Li, I'll go prepare for the procurement bidding right away. I've also written down some insights and opinions on group procurement, which are below."

Yue Lingshan chuckled and pointed to the documents in Li Ye's hand, a "self-recommendation" smile on her face.

"Group purchasing?"

Li Ye recalled Fu Lianbing's initial reason for contacting him: Fu Lianbing had also been "keeping an eye" on news about Kamaz heavy trucks and was seeking Li Ye to supply leaf springs for Kamaz.
But since it's a merger of two companies, the procurement of Kamaz must be decided by the group headquarters. Now that Yue Lingshan has her eye on it, does she want to follow Zhou Ziqing to the headquarters?
Haha, you really want to improve.

To be honest, God has been kind to Yue Lingshan, giving her many opportunities to rise to prominence.

The first time, when Li Ye had just started working, Wu Qingyi, who was then the deputy section chief, suggested that Yue Lingshan mentor Li Ye. However, Yue Lingshan declined, saying that she was "too busy." Then Lao Ding seized the opportunity to become Li Ye's "mentor."

The second time was when the branch factory had just been established. Li Ye said he could bring Yue Lingshan over to start a business, but Yue Lingshan refused. Then Li Ye brought Pan Dachuan over instead.

The third time, with the establishment of the branch factory in the city, many cadres from the first branch factory were sent out, leaving some vacant positions. Yue Lingshan took the initiative to approach Li Ye, wanting to claim one of those positions.

However, Li Ye suggested that she go to the city to provide support for two years, but Yue Lingshan, longing for her hometown, refused.

Now that Li Ye is going to the group headquarters, Yue Lingshan still wants to take over a ready-made position with minimal effort.

She always thought of herself as the kind of smart person described in inspirational articles, someone who only needed to use her brain and a little bit of cleverness to reap huge rewards. How could that be?

"Okay, I'll take a closer look and let you know if I need anything."

"Alright!"

Yue Lingshan left somewhat disappointed. She felt she had come well-prepared, but Li Ye seemed to be keeping his distance.

Sigh, those in power are always ruthless.

Li Ye is certainly not a heartless person; compared to most people in positions of power, he is extremely loyal.

Just when people like Yue Lingshan were constantly trying to build relationships, some people just wouldn't come, like Master Ding's son, Ding Jiuchang.

When Li Ye first started working, Lao Ding not only took care of him but also taught him some things. Later, he entrusted his son to Li Ye's care.

Then Li Ye really treated Ding Jiuchang like a donkey, making him travel all over the country, and eventually he became the sales manager of the first factory.

Now that Li Ye has been promoted to vice president of the group, everyone is trying to get close to him and get a position, but Ding Jiuchang just congratulates Li Ye and then remains silent.

[You want to improve, but you're not taking the initiative? Are you just sitting back and waiting to get ahead?]

Finally, Li Ye was so angry that he personally made a phone call to deal with the situation.

"Hey, senior brother, where are you?"

"Oh? Mr. Li, I'm holding a sales summary meeting at our branch factory!"

"What, Mr. Li? Come over here after your meeting."

"Oh? Okay, okay, I'll be right there."

Ten minutes later, Ding Jiuchang arrived.

Li Ye didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "I'll be taking a position at the group company in a while, and I need someone to take over my current work. I've chosen Wu Yan for the technical side, but don't you have any ideas for sales?"

Ding Jiuchang blinked, but didn't say a word.

Li Ye had been in charge of technical and sales work at the No. 1 factory, so the news that two deputy factory directors would be promoted after he left had already spread. As the head of the sales department, how could Ding Jiuchang not have any thoughts on this?

Looking at him, Li Ye chuckled and said, "I'm asking you a question! Why don't you say something?"

Ding Jiuchang then said sheepishly, "Of course I personally want to improve."

Li Ye laughed and scolded, "If you want to improve, shouldn't you have come and asked me first? Are you just waiting to reap the benefits?"

Ding Jiuchang chuckled awkwardly and said, "I wanted to come find you a while ago, but my dad told me not to cram at the last minute, and not to get involved in any messy things. I should focus on my work."

Li Ye's eyes widened in surprise. "Senior brother, so you've listened to your father your whole life?"

Ding Jiuchang chuckled, looking almost like an idiot.

But he was thinking to himself, "Who told my dad to be more capable than me? If I come to you and you have someone else in mind, it will be awkward for both of us. Wouldn't that weaken our teacher-student relationship?"
If you don't have anyone else in mind, you can't escape me, can you? We're on the same side!

Li Ye guessed what Lao Ding was thinking and sighed, "Alright, you should give Wang Siyu a heads-up first, and then let him take over your work."

"Okay, I understand, Mr. Li."

"Don't call me Mr. Li, Mr. Li."

"Okay, okay."

Ding Jiuchang readily agreed, but he could no longer bring himself to call him "Junior Brother" or "Li Ye".
