That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1463 Should I hide for a while?
After Liang Xiaomin answered the phone, she immediately switched to Cantonese.

Li Ye could barely understand Cantonese, but Liang Xiaomin spoke very fast, so Li Ye only understood two or three sentences.

"I've come to the capital on some business."

"I'll handle this, you don't need to worry."

"He wronged us in this matter; we received too little in return."

Li Ye has exceptional hearing and recognized a man's voice on the other end of the phone. Combined with Liang Xiaomin's tone, it became clear who was on the other end.

Guo Donglun.

Before Li Ye came to see Liang Xiaomin, he called Guo Donglun and asked her current nanny to pass on a message to Guo Donglun.

It now appears that the nanny fulfilled her duty by relaying Li Ye's words, and Guo Donglun also responded.

After receiving Guo Donglun's call, Liang Xiaomin's tone immediately softened, unlike the sharp tone she had used when speaking to Li Ye.

However, her face was filled with anxiety, irritability, and resentment. She spoke the gentlest words but revealed the most agitated look in her eyes, which can be described as "inconsistent with her words and actions," creating a strong contrast.

The reason for this is that Liang Xiaomin felt that Guo Donglun had "lost a lot" in the Fenghua Clothing deal, but Guo Donglun didn't seem to care much.

When Hao Jian and Guo Donglun first collaborated, they did agree on a 50% equity stake. However, Li Ye later met with Guo Donglun in person and settled the equity stake in one go.

From a man's perspective, once you've made your decision, it's like selling off all your stocks; you won't regret it no matter how the price goes up or down.

But Liang Xiaomin clearly didn't think so.

After Li Ye and Guo Donglun settled their score, Fenghua Clothing's scale and profits expanded by more than dozens of times, and will continue to expand in the foreseeable future.

Such a large fortune can be passed down to three generations of her descendants. Now that Liang Xiaomin has a son, she needs to think about her son's future.

So during the few minutes of the call, the contrast between Liang Xiaomin's tone and expression became increasingly pronounced.

She tried very gently and earnestly to win over Guo Donglun, but the resentment on her face grew deeper and deeper.

However, Liang Xiaomin's efforts were destined to be in vain, and Guo Donglun quickly lost patience.

"You must return to Guangzhou immediately, right now!"

"."

With just a stern rebuke, Liang Xiaomin fell completely silent.

Although she dresses glamorously now, she is still the same little nanny she used to be when she is with Guo Donglun.

Liang Xiaomin silently hung up the phone, silently stood up and left, but before leaving, she vented all her resentment and frustration on Li Ye.

"Li Ye, do you really think your past is completely clean?"

"."

When Liang Xiaomin left, Zhou Ziqing followed behind to "see her off," seemingly to maintain politeness, but actually to monitor her.

After seeing Liang Xiaomin off completely, Zhou Ziqing returned to Li Ye's office to report.

"She's in turmoil. That phone call just now seems very important to her, but she's also furious."

"Are you angry? If anger were useful, what would be the point of reason?"

Li Ye gave a cold laugh, told Zhou Ziqing to go about her business, and then dialed Hao Jian's number.

"Old Hao, Liang Xiaomin came to see me earlier. Your guess was right. This matter was probably not instigated by Guo Donglun, but was done by Liang Xiaomin on her own."

During the Spring Festival, Hao Jian guessed that Liang Xiaomin was doing something behind Guo Donglun's back, and now it seems that he was right.

Hao Jian said helplessly, "She still came to you? When I relayed her message that day, she revealed her purpose to me—to cross-share with us. I completely ignored her."

"It was the right thing to ignore her. If we had actually swapped shares with her, our once clean backside would have been covered in shit."

Liang Xiaomin had already established connections through waterways; getting involved with them was tantamount to going against the national tax authorities, and death was only a matter of time. From the very first day Fenghua Clothing was established, Li Ye ordered Hao Jian not to owe a single penny in taxes, and over the years, through extensive investigations, he had strived to leave no evidence whatsoever.

Because there are too many loopholes in the tax system for companies operating under false pretenses these days, if someone really investigates you back 20 years, more than 95% of people will suffer greatly.

The harsh words Liang Xiaomin uttered to Li Ye at the end were probably like the saying, "You can't find gold in a latrine."

After listening to Li Ye's words, Hao Jian remained silent for a few seconds before suddenly asking, "Should I... go out and hide for a while?"

Li Ye was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "Why are you hiding?"

Hao Jian chuckled sheepishly and said, "It's better to be safe than sorry! I'll take my family to Hong Kong Island for a couple of days first, and then go to Japan to check out the market."

"."

Now it was Li Ye's turn to fall silent.

Hao Jian is scared.

Some people have said that the 1990s were the best of times and the worst of times. They were good because there were opportunities everywhere, and bad because there were risks everywhere.

It's fair to say that without the Wen family's behind-the-scenes support, and even without the endorsement of the bigwigs during their inspection of Fenghua Clothing last year, Hao Jian might not be receiving the same treatment as that lactic acid bacteria beverage company in Hunan Province right now.

The richer a person is, the more timid they tend to be. Hao Jian is very wealthy now, so it's not unreasonable for him to hide away and make arrangements for his family first.

Li Ye took a deep breath and then said, "Give me a month."

Hao Jian immediately replied, "Okay, I'll take my family to Hong Kong Island today."

"."

After hanging up the phone, Li Ye felt agitated.

A boss who can't protect his subordinates isn't worth his men risking their lives for.

Liang Xiaomin may not be able to do anything to Li Ye, but inviting Hao Jian for tea is not an impossible task.

Having lived a life of luxury for so many years, how could Hao Jian possibly endure that kind of hardship?

Li Ye dialed Pei Wencong's number: "Old Pei, how's the matter I asked you to handle during the Spring Festival going?"

Pei Wencong said, "I have already made appointments with several local leaders. It's just after the Spring Festival, so they haven't officially started work yet. But I don't think there should be any major problems."

Li Ye said, "Don't talk to me about problems now. You better hurry up and get the results within half a month. Who hasn't started working yet? Then find another place to work. You're so good at throwing money around, why worry about not having a place to throw it away?"

"Understood, understood. Don't worry, Mr. Li, I'll get the news in the newspaper within a week."

Li Ye rarely spoke to Pei Wencong in this tone anymore, which frightened Pei Wencong so much that he immediately reduced the time limit by half.

Li Ye added, "We also need to get the Fenghua Plaza project going. Hao Jian recently went abroad for an inspection. Send someone to contact my eldest sister and get the plan implemented as soon as possible."

"Understood, understood. I will personally liaise with Ms. Li. Rest assured, I guarantee the task will be completed."

Pei Wencong sensed Li Ye's anger and even uttered the distinctive phrase, "I guarantee to complete the mission."

"Whoo~"

After finishing the call, Li Ye finally let out a long sigh of frustration.

When Li Ye started his business in Qingshui County, anyone could easily crush him, but now...?
Liang Xiaomin thinks she can handle Hao Jian? Then go and deal with Pei Wencong! If you're so capable, invite him for tea.

Let alone Pei Wencong, even the eldest sister Li Yue is not someone Liang Xiaomin can touch.

Do you really think that Yang Yumin, that young section chief in the Central Selection Department, is a fake?
You've come all the way from Guangdong to Beijing to invite Yang Yumin's wife for tea?

Try?
