That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1395 Life is miserable~
Li Ye's act of letting the driver Qu Qingyou take the Mercedes-Benz car keys made Shang Bin very unhappy, but he had a strong ability to control his emotions. Although his eyes were unfriendly, his fake smile was still bright.

He grasped Pei Wencong's hand tightly again and said warmly, "Oh, Mr. Pei, you're too kind. And Xiao Li didn't even tell us you were coming today. We've been so negligent."

"Little Li" naturally refers to Li Ye. As Pei Wencong just mentioned, he is Li Ye's good friend. So, he came today to give Li Ye face. However, Li Ye did not notify him in advance to receive him. Shang Bin said that he was negligent, which is not unreasonable.

However, to outsiders, these words sound like "Li Ye is a nobody".

Li Ye is at least the deputy general manager, only one level below you in rank. Does it make sense for you to call him "Little Li"?
However, Shang Bin then noticed that Pei Wencong's expression had become somewhat strange.

“Mr. Shang, I used to own shares in the light vehicle company, so I’m practically a part-owner of the Jingnan Automobile Group. I’m not a guest today, so there’s no question of being neglected.”

"what?"

At this point, Shang Bin realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Hong Kong capital has a small share in the light vehicle company and has never competed for any say, so Shang Bin and others forgot that they mistakenly treated them as "outsiders" when in fact they were still the owners.

Of course, this is also the thinking of many people in the mainland: they treat foreign wealth like pigs to be slaughtered, and whether it is a dragon or a tiger, they will cut off a leg.

"Hahaha, I misspoke. We're on the same side. I'll definitely have a good drink with Mr. Pei later."

Shang Bin laughed heartily, but a different thought suddenly occurred to him.

If Li Ye can become good friends with Pei Wencong, why can't I?
The branch factory was developed because of the continuous investment from Hong Kong capital. So, if I have become friends with Pei Wencong, what do I need Li Ye for?
Just then, another guest arrived and greeted Pei Wencong, saying, "Old Pei, I've been looking for you for days. So you're here to join in the fun too!"

Pei Wencong turned around, quickly broke free from Shang Bin's hand, and shook hands with the other party to exchange pleasantries.

"I've been so busy these past few days. How about I host a dinner tomorrow to catch up with Mr. Wang?"

"Why wait until tomorrow? Today is enough! We've already had this opportunity, why wait until tomorrow?"

"Hahaha, there's no time like the present! Let's drink until we drop!"

"."

Shang Bin watched as the other person chatted happily with Pei Wencong, but he couldn't recognize which kind of immortal they were.

The other person was a middle-aged man with a buzz cut and dressed in simple clothes, but he had a lot of energy and spirit, so it was really hard to judge his character.

Just then, the middle-aged man's henchman approached and said politely, "We are from Zhongxin Company. This is our Deputy General Manager Wang, who has come today to congratulate your company on its establishment."

"Oh, oh, I'm so grateful, so grateful!"

Shang Bin then realized who the other person was.

Although he is also a "deputy general manager," which sounds the same as Li Ye's title, it's not the same thing at all.

Shang Bin thought his "family" was very powerful, but this one was better not to compare.

Why would he come to congratulate the establishment of Jingnan Group?

Shang Bin immediately knew the answer.

The assistant led Deputy General Manager Wang to Li Ye and introduced him with a smile: "This is Li Ye."

Deputy General Manager Wang shook hands with Li Ye, then said with a smile, "Do you often come to our company's entrance?"

Li Ye chuckled and said frankly, "Yes, I go often."

He definitely goes there often! To pick up his wife, of course!
Deputy General Manager Wang then added with a smile, "Don't always wait at the door in the future. Come up and sit with me. My tea and wine are quite good."

"."

Even with Shang Bin's strong emotional control, he couldn't hold back any longer.

He finally realized that Li Ye was not as easy to control as he had thought. Yesterday he was thinking about how to "take down" Li Ye, but now it seemed that the other party was actually a threat.

Jia Zhongyue, who was in charge of receiving guests, suddenly rushed over and reported to Shang Bin, "Secretary, the ministry's convoy is about to arrive." "Good, prepare to welcome them. Also, try to find out what the relationship is between Li Ye and that Deputy General Manager Wang."

"Okay, okay."

A moment later, the department's convoy finally arrived, and Xue and the others got out of the car, and there was another flurry of activity.

Li Ye saw Sun Xianjin, who winked at him and then pointed to Xue Bu and the others, meaning "we'll talk later."

Li Ye nodded and returned a kind smile.

After his trip to Suzhou, his junior colleague was clearly being given more important responsibilities and was now able to stay close to several big shots.

Then came the ribbon-cutting and firecracker-setting ceremony, officially announcing the establishment of Jingnan Automobile Group.

Jia Zhongyue also found out the news and explained to Shang Bin, "I found out that people in the ministry told me that Li Ye went to Suzhou with the ministry's inspection team around the Spring Festival, and then stayed at the same hotel as the inspection team from China-Singapore Company. That's probably when they made contact."

"Just staying in a hotel?"

Shang Bin didn't believe things were that simple, but he felt a little relieved.

"Heh, this kid's really good at scheming!"

If Li Ye heard this, he would definitely punch Shang Bin in the face.

Li Ye earns his living through his own abilities. When has he ever needed to scheme or plot? Like this time, it was clearly because someone owed him a favor that they came over on their own initiative, okay?

The young wife has worked at Zhongxin Company for so many years, and she has never led Li Ye there to curry favor, okay?
Li Ye has always passively received the goodwill and support of the big shots, so how can he be accused of scheming?
While Jia Zhongyue was helping Shang Bin inquire about Li Ye, Sun Xianjin was also bringing news to Li Ye.

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Ma Zhaoxian and Shang Bin led the department's bigwigs and important guests on a casual tour of the office building before moving on to the banquet hall.

At this moment, Sun Xianjin found an opportunity to fall behind and talk to Li Ye, who was following behind.

"Brother, that Shang Bin worked in the ministry for a few years before being transferred to Southwest Heavy Truck, but he hasn't achieved much in recent years."
He's very anxious now. Because if he doesn't achieve results soon, his life will probably be over.

"Oh, so you're treating me like a lifeline?"

Li Ye had a general understanding of Shang Bin's situation. Compared to Shang Bin, he and Ma Zhaoxian were pragmatic people who had climbed up from the bottom. They might be at a disadvantage in the early stages, but they would definitely be in a strong position later.

When you're at a low level, a single word from above can solve all your problems. Because you need fewer resources at that point, a little bit from above is enough to satisfy you.

Later on, you'll need to help your superiors solve problems. It's true that the squeaky wheel gets the grease, but you can't still be sucking milk when you're in your thirties or forties, can you? You have to take on the responsibility of supporting everyone in their old age, and you have to hand over your wages to the clan.

If you don't believe me, just look at those local officials who were sent to the provinces ninety years from now. Which one of them didn't lead a whole team to help the higher-ups solve problems and achieve results?

If everything depends on support from above, then what's the point of them having you? Anyone could just sit in that chair.

"Huh, whose office is this? It looks like a warehouse."

Li Ye and Sun Xianjin were whispering to each other at the back of the group when they suddenly heard someone shout from the front.

Li Ye heard it clearly; it was the voice of Deputy Manager Wang.

And looking at where everyone is visiting right now, it's definitely their own offices!

Then Li Ye saw that Jia Zhongyue in front of him had beads of sweat on his neck.

At this moment, Jia Zhongyue was filled with immense fear.

Just yesterday, he and Shang Bin tacitly decided to create a "persona" for Li Ye, making the higher-ups think that Li Ye was a hot-tempered young man who was dissatisfied because he hadn't been promoted twice this time and was deliberately causing trouble at the group headquarters.

But looking at today's situation, what if the higher-ups think we're the ones causing trouble?

It was clearly Shang Bin who wanted to fight Li Ye, but Shang Bin would never cause trouble; the one who would cause trouble was himself.

My life is so hard~
