That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1465 Their family has no feelings
"I'm calling just to tell you that there's a problem within your own ranks."

"."

After saying this, Guo Donglun fell silent, clearly waiting for Li Ye's response.

Li Ye certainly wouldn't respond immediately, because he didn't know if this was Guo Donglun's attempt to sow discord.

During Hao Jian's years in Pengcheng, Li Ye basically did not impose any restrictions on him. Hao Jian had the final say on personnel promotions and financial allocations. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the local tyrant of Fenghua Clothing.

However, this situation is quite normal for a grassroots enterprise in the early stages of its rapid development. When the Song Dynasty granted amnesty to Liangshan, did they not know that they were bandits?
You can't expect someone to fight and die for you, take over your territory, and then you'll say they've violated regulations or laws, and that you need to investigate and clean up the ranks, right?

Well, people like Guo Donglun just like to play this game. Anyway, now that Fenghua Clothing has stabilized and private enterprises are allowed to exist, it's only natural that people like Hao Jian will be discarded after their usefulness is over.

But Li Ye was decades later, and he still had a sense of righteousness in his heart. Even if Hao Jian did have ulterior motives, he would still follow the agreement made at the No. 2 Grain Store: everyone would go their separate ways and part ways peacefully.

Therefore, he didn't like listening to Guo Donglun's provocative words from the very beginning.

"Old Guo, we haven't been in touch for so many years. We finally get a phone call, and this is what you say to me?"

Guo Donglun was silent for a few seconds before saying, "I thought this information would be useful to you. If you think I'm just talking nonsense, then pretend I didn't say anything."

Li Ye laughed in anger: "Old Guo, you guys forced Hao Jian to run away to Hong Kong Island. If he had run a little slower, he would be eating cornbread by now, right?"
You're telling me now that Hao Jian has a problem? Do you expect me to cripple him before your little nanny is satisfied?

"."

After Li Ye finished speaking, Guo Donglun fell silent again.

This pleased Li Ye quite a bit.

To be honest, when Hao Jian said he wanted to go out and lay low for a while, Li Ye thought it was a bit of an overreaction, but he still immediately agreed.

Because Hao Jian's escape will, in turn, corner Liang Xiaomin.

Hao Jian is, after all, an outstanding young man from Pengcheng, and Fenghua Clothing is, after all, a company that big shots have inspected. Yet now they've been forced to go to Hong Kong. What dirty tricks did you use?
This is just like a super internet celebrity decades later. He sees that a certain industry is going to band together to fight him to the death, so he goes abroad on a business trip without saying a word, causing those who oppose him to be in deep trouble.

Some people say that the internet celebrity doesn't have a high level of education and is just good at talking big and tearing each other apart. But that's not true. His father was once a deputy director-general level official, and he has been exposed to all kinds of tricks since he was a child. He is not on the same level as ordinary people at all.

Moreover, this internet celebrity wasn't spoiled; he came from a well-off family, read many books that weren't commonly available at the time, and later sold cars, ran a street stall, and even worked abroad. He shares some similarities with Hao Jian, a poor kid.

He's not the same as many other online celebrities.

Why don't you send someone who has only graduated from high school to teach at Dongfang School and see if he can manage the situation?

So when Hao Jian said he needed to go out and avoid the limelight yesterday, Li Ye immediately agreed.

Look at him now, Guo Donglun, whom we couldn't contact for a long time, has called us.
However, just as Li Ye was feeling smug, Guo Donglun spoke up, saying, "I didn't say that Hao Jian had a problem."

Li Ye was taken aback, then said calmly, "Mr. Guo, I don't have time to play games with you. Just say what you want to say."

"Ha~"

Guo Donglun smiled and said, "Ten years ago, Hao Jian came to Guangzhou with a few people. One of them was personally sent to prison by you. Recently, that person wanted to get a reduced sentence by doing good deeds, so he provided some evidence of Hao Jian's speculation and profiteering."

"."

Li Ye's face darkened.

He thought of someone—Sanshui. Sanshui had actually come to Guangzhou with Jin Peng, but Hao Jian was the one who took the lead in doing business, so Guo Donglun put Sanshui on Hao Jian's head.

Sanshui initially got involved in the waterway trade, and later even sold smuggled motorcycles to Qingshui County.

Li Ye was afraid that Sanshui's troubles would implicate Hao Jian and Jin Peng, so he "cleaned house" in advance and sent him to work on a sewing machine. He was sentenced to life imprisonment in both the first and second trials, and normally he would have to wait at least ten years to get out.

But now, judging from Guo Donglun's words, someone offered Sanshui a chance to reduce his sentence, allowing him to falsely accuse Hao Jian.

There were no problems with Hao Jian after he became affiliated with Pengcheng No. 7 Factory. Before he became affiliated, Guo Donglun also obtained a business license for him. However, the business license was not very formal during the individual business period, and the quantity and amount of his sales were "huge". If you really want to investigate, it is ambiguous and difficult to define.

This is the downside of chaotic times producing heroes: a single event can be interpreted in several ways, and it's hard to say whether you have a problem or not; it mainly depends on who you're asking.

The key to reasoning lies not in the "reason," but in the way it is presented.

It depends on who is speaking and how they speak.

Why are you telling me this? Or do you think it's helpful to tell me this?

Li Ye didn't argue with Guo Donglun about whether Sanshui was one of his people, but instead said bluntly, "Old Guo, you come from a family with a long history of scholarship, so you should know that Liang Xiaomin has gotten involved in things she shouldn't have."

"Taking the waterway is going against the country. You're telling me this now, what do you want from me? Do you want to trade with me to let Liang Xiaomin go?"

Li Ye's words already carried a subtle threat.

He first pointed out Liang Xiaomin's involvement in illegal industries, and then expressed his intention to "not let Liang Xiaomin off the hook."

While it's true that you can get rich quick by traveling by water, it's ultimately not a legitimate business.

If your family has been poor for eight generations, and all your brothers are too poor to get married, then you can take a gamble and try your luck. Even if you die, you'll be left with nothing but the birds in the sky; if you survive, you'll be cleaned up and able to make a living.

But Guo Donglun's parents, brothers, and sisters have already established themselves in the power departments, and the entire family has already stepped into the threshold of the powerful and wealthy. If they get involved in these dirty things again, they will only be going backwards.

So Guo Donglun can bring up Hao Jian's past, so what's wrong with Li Ye using Liang Xiaomin to smear Guo Donglun now?

However, after a moment of silence, Guo Donglun calmly said to Li Ye, "I don't mean to exchange anything with you. It's just that she pushed my wheelchair for ten years. If she made a mistake, I can't bring myself to do it."

"You can't bring yourself to do it? Then why did you call me? Hello? Hello?"

Just as Li Ye was about to continue questioning Guo Donglun, the other end of the phone hung up.

Li Ye frowned, suddenly realizing something was wrong.

Guo Donglun just told Li Ye that he "couldn't bring himself to do it," but what does it mean that he couldn't bring himself to do it?

Li Ye came up with a rather ruthless explanation, so he simply called his wife to ask.

After hearing Li Ye's words, Wen Leyu immediately sneered and said, "Is there any need to ask? There is no affection in their family. After all, the nanny gave birth to his son. He doesn't want to leave any trouble behind, and he doesn't want to get his hands dirty."

"."

Li Ye was stunned for a long time before he finally couldn't help but utter "Old Cao".

"Damn it, so heartless!"
