Chapter 1396 Riding a Tiger in a Dire Situation (Bonus Chapter to Pay Off Debts)
“This is my office.”

After hearing the question from the front, Li Ye had no choice but to answer and then squeezed forward from the back.

That's right, it's crowded.

Li Ye really didn't understand why so many people had to guard every position behind the big boss like fierce beasts protecting their territory, not allowing anyone else to get close. Was there really such a big difference between being ranked eighth and being ranked ninth?
When Li Ye arrived at the front, he saw Deputy Manager Wang's amused look and Director Xue's cold expression.

Li Ye explained with a smile, "I just moved these materials from the No. 1 factory the day before yesterday. Some of them are original copies brought back from Su E, which I handled personally. Since it wasn't convenient for others to handle them, I kept them in my office for easy reference."

"Oh, I understand now,"

Deputy Manager Wang nodded, then suddenly said, "But you should also be careful. I know you personally handled Kamas's technical documents, but others don't know that. If they see your office like this, they'll think you've been wronged!"

Suddenly, silence fell over the surroundings.

Whether Li Ye was wronged or not, no one knows, but it's definitely not normal for a deputy general manager's office to be like a warehouse.

At this moment, Xue Bu jokingly said, "Old Wang, don't worry about things like this. We can't let Li Ye suffer any injustice. He's our precious son. You wouldn't happen to have your eye on him, would you?"

"Hehehehe, plenty of people have their eyes on him, one more won't make a difference."

Deputy Manager Wang and Director Xue clearly knew each other, and the two were joking around, but those around them didn't think they were joking.

Would someone like that joke in this kind of situation?
So, is it true that many people have their eyes on Li Ye?

Sweat was pouring down Jia Zhongyue's face uncontrollably.

Although Li Ye took the blame himself, that was just a normal act to maintain unity within the unit in front of outsiders, and he will definitely be criticized later.

Now, Jia Zhongyue only hopes that the criticism he receives will be lenient and mild, so that he can just smile at Li Ye and give him a way out.

However, while joking around, Deputy Manager Wang and Director Xue continued their tour, and unfortunately, they also visited the offices of several other deputy general managers.

Well, now that's a problem. Although everyone else's office has a "Deputy General Manager" sign on the door, Li Ye's office is half the size of everyone else's.

Everyone here is shrewd, and they immediately saw the problem.

Shang Bin's smile was no longer natural, and Jia Zhongyue's face had begun to twitch.

Jia Zhongyue is now 100% certain that he is going to be in trouble, but he doesn't know just how bad it will be.

I have to get Shang Bin involved, otherwise I won't be able to get Li Ye's forgiveness on my own.

Jia Zhongyue gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

Shang Bin was initially unwilling, because he felt that giving Li Ye a way out would lower his own status.

However, during the banquet later, when he wanted to toast Director Xue, Director Xue refused Shang Bin's toast, citing "not feeling well today." But then he turned around and drank heartily with Deputy Manager Wang.

Isn't this attitude obvious enough?

The ministry finally managed to facilitate the merger of the two units, and you immediately start instigating internal strife. What, are you going to make my people suffer under your command, Shang Bin?
A few minutes later, Shang Bin brought Jia Zhongyue to Li Ye, smiling as he raised his wine glass, clearly intending to drown his sorrows in a drink.

"Brother Li Ye, I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't had time to check on things in the office."
"If I had even glanced at it, regardless of rank or rules, I would have given you my office rather than let you suffer. This was my oversight; please forgive me. I'll drink this, you can do as you please." Li Ye first smiled as he watched Shang Bin drink the wine, then said with a grin, "No, no, no, Secretary Shang, please don't say that. This matter has nothing to do with you; it's Director Jia who's been incompetent in his work."

【Fuck you.】

Shang Bin was stunned, while Jia Zhongyue almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Incompetent at work?
What do you mean by that? You want to fire him? Do you think this is a private company? You fire people just because they annoy you?

Shang Bin put down his wine glass and asked in a sinister tone, "Deputy General Manager Li, aren't you exaggerating a bit? It's just an office matter, and you're bringing it up as incompetence?"

Li Ye said calmly, "I'm not exaggerating at all. Our two companies have merged into one, so we're all one family. But this kind of favoritism and differential treatment seems like a small matter, but it affects the unity of the group. This is a very serious problem."

"Hey~"

Shang Bin laughed in exasperation.

“Since Deputy General Manager Li thinks it’s a very serious issue, then we’ll have a meeting tomorrow to discuss it. But you can’t just spout nonsense before we reach a conclusion.”

"Okay, let's have a meeting to discuss it."

Li Ye smiled and agreed.

He knew that Shang Bin was taking the opportunity to assert his power. After all, in government agencies, any matter involving "major issues" had to be reported to the Party Secretary first before a meeting was held to make a decision.

For example, major decisions, appointments and removals of key personnel, arrangements for major projects, and use of large sums of funds within an organization must all be discussed collectively by the leadership team.

Although the company is currently in the "factory director responsibility system" stage, Shang Bin's power has been greatly weakened. However, the majority of people who are qualified to vote in the meeting are from Southwest Heavy Truck.

The principle of majority rule is an unchanging rule in mainland China, and no matter how much Li Ye is favored by everyone, it cannot be an exception.

After Shang Bin and Jia Zhongyue left, Shang Bin finally lost his temper when they reached a secluded spot.

"What a shameless brat! He's barely grown up, trying to outsmart me? He probably doesn't even know how he's going to die."

Looking at Shang Bin, who was cursing and swearing, Jia Zhongyue knew that the other party was now in a difficult situation.

Li Ye was right about one thing: this matter may seem like a small thing, but it is definitely not a small thing.

If Li Ye had accepted Shang Bin's toast, the people around him might have thought that Li Ye was taking advantage of the situation and subduing Shang Bin in a small way.

However, if Shang Bin publicly punishes Jia Zhongyue, it would be equivalent to Li Ye slapping Shang Bin across the face, and Shang Bin shouting "Good job!"

In an organization, none of the key leaders can afford to lose face. If you suffer a setback today, your subordinates might think you've lost power, and they might then drag their feet or even feign compliance when you assign tasks.

Half of the people in Jingnan Group are from Light Vehicle Company. If Shang Bin is useless in Light Vehicle Company, then what's the point of his hard work in merging them?

Just so that Li Ye and Ma Zhaoxian could be promoted one level together?

Furthermore, although it seems that Shang Bin is fighting with Li Ye, everyone actually believes that it is Ma Zhaoxian who is fighting with Shang Bin. The two are equals, and if one of them loses in terms of momentum, then the Jingnan Group will be controlled by the other person.
