That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1482 Is this an attempt to ambush me?

Li Ye has a high alcohol tolerance and can always drink anyone under the table. But today he has witnessed what it means to be a "battle-hardened" warrior.

My classmates are all heavy drinkers, have excellent emotional control, and are very knowledgeable about alcohol. During a dinner party, each person drank more than half a kilogram of baijiu (Chinese liquor), and not a single one of them lost control.

Even after everyone finished drinking and left, almost no one was able to walk while leaning against the wall, and everyone was radiant and talking eloquently without uttering a single incoherent word.

Li Ye sometimes wonders if China's drinking culture is also a kind of "screening mechanism," in which those with poor emotional control and who tend to make sweeping generalizations after drinking are all revealed.

This guy's mouth gets loose when he's drunk, so we can't assign him those kinds of private tasks.

As for what constitutes "private work," the leaders' drivers probably know best.

When Li Ye and the others came downstairs, the drivers downstairs had also finished eating and were all driving their cars over to pick them up.

At this point, whoever can drive the car first is definitely a clever, decisive, and highly efficient person, after all, they are letting XX go first.

Even though Li Ye's driver had "studied abroad" in a barbaric place like Su'e, he only managed to snag the third spot.

After getting in the car, Jiang Shiqi returned the wad of money to Li Ye: "Uncle, they treated us to grouper today, and we didn't spend a penny."

"Eastern Starfish?"

Li Ye was very surprised. He really didn't expect that the person who was hosting the dinner today would also treat the driver.

Jiang Shiqi nodded and said, "Old Qu and I were also surprised. I was going to go and pay, but a driver said we didn't need to worry about it, someone would come and pay."

"."

Li Ye fell silent.

He certainly knew what "someone will pay the bill" meant—either it was reimbursed by the government, or it was someone who was being taken advantage of.

Why did Lao Duan, Lao Wu, and the others say to keep in touch before they left?
It is precisely to cope with this objective environment.

Today you can eat grouper without any problem, but in a few years you might be questioned about eating braised pork. This means the standards for judgment have changed. Everyone should communicate quickly to find out the latest bottom line.

Prevention is better than cure.

"Uncle, the money is all gone, please take it back!"

Jiang Shiqi handed the money to Li Ye, but Li Ye waved his hand and said, "Take it! You and Lao Qu can go and buy some school supplies for the kids and some gold and silver jewelry for your wife. Consider it compensation for you working overtime with me all day. Otherwise, if we can't take care of the family and don't earn any more money, wouldn't we be fools?"

Old Qu mumbled, "My wife would never say that to me! She's grateful to you."

Jiang Shiqi chuckled and pocketed the money: "What do those old women know? They've just been spoiled rotten."

He and Li Ye were related by marriage through Jiang Hong, and they had spent so much time together that he knew what kind of person Li Ye was. The more pretentious Li Ye was, the more distant he would become.

If I were to lose my job because of this awkwardness, the women in my family would really throw a tantrum!

Before, I would go to Suzhou to visit my wife and kids, and I wouldn't see them for a whole year. Now that my wife and kids are in Beijing, we're all together and making a good living. I wouldn't trade it for being a village chief!

Qu Qingyou drove back to Li Ye's house, but when he got to the entrance of the alley, he found a 130 truck parked haphazardly, blocking most of the alley and making it impossible for Li Ye's car to pass.

"Who's being so rude?"

Jiang Shiqi frowned, spat out a word, went down to check, and then came back to tell Li Ye, "They're visiting relatives from Fangshan. Their car broke down, and the driver and the host are frantic."

"Then let's take a detour!"

Li Ye wasn't angry because the 130 was produced by their factory. Now, it's late at night and people can't start their cars. How could the factory manager be angry?

You're sent to visit relatives, and after you've eaten and drunk your fill and are ready to leave, the car keeps whirring and won't start. You'd be lucky if you didn't curse those bastards at the car factory.

However, taking the main road would be a bit too far, so Qu Qing went around in circles and found a small alley to take a shortcut. But he couldn't go any further after walking only halfway down the alley.

This time, there were no parked cars blocking the road. Instead, there were six or seven men riding bicycles and chatting in the middle of the alley. When they saw Li Ye's car coming, they just turned their heads to glance at it and then continued chatting away, deliberately raising their voices a few decibels.

When Li Ye saw that two of them were carrying bottles of liquor, he couldn't help but frown.

When walking at night, the worst thing is encountering drunkards, especially a group of drunkards.

Jiang Shiqi and Qu Qingyou also became nervous, but their concern wasn't about the drunkard.

Qu Qing asked Jiang Shiqi coldly, "Is this a coincidence?"

Jiang Shiqi stared at the six or seven people under the car headlights and said, "When I went to check on the 130 just now, I did see two familiar faces. These people in front of us don't seem to be deliberately blocking our way."

Qu Qingyou and Jiang Shiqi came from the southern battlefield and had seen bloodshed with those barbarians in Su'e, so when they encountered this situation, they immediately wondered if someone was deliberately causing trouble for Li Ye.

"Whether it's a coincidence or not, reverse."

The reason Li Ye had the two of them follow him was precisely to avoid this situation, right? Although the six or seven people in front of him looked like ordinary people who had just had a few drinks and were a little tipsy, Jiang Shiqi still decisively told Qu Qingyou to reverse the car.

Qu Qingyou put the car in reverse and started backing up, but after only two meters, a bottle flew over and smashed into the windshield of the Mercedes-Benz.

"Hahahaha~"

The few guys who had been drinking probably felt impressive for scaring the car away, so they laughed heartily.

While they were having a good time, the three people on Li Ye's side got angry.

A car is like a man's concubine! This Mercedes-Benz is a femme fatale, and now someone has smashed the glass with a bottle. How can you not be angry?
Qu Qingyou and Jiang Shiqi refrained from impulsively getting out of the car due to their duties, but Li Ye spoke up.

"There's no one else around, just these few people. Go down and check, don't let it escalate."

Upon hearing Li Ye speak, Qu Qingyou and Jiang Shiqi immediately grabbed two short sticks and got off the bus.

They knew that Li Ye had excellent night vision, hearing, and observation skills. Since Li Ye said there was no one around, it wasn't an ambush; he had simply run into these drunkards.

"Oh, so you dare to get off the bus! Let me see which corrupt official is so powerful."

"Exactly, they really think they're so great just because they drive a car? If I report you all to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, you can all be executed, and it won't be my fault!"

"Holy crap, woof~~"

"Don't hit us! Don't hit us! We didn't mean to! We'll pay you back!"

The six or seven drunkards were energized when they saw Jiang Shiqi and Qu Qingyou get out of the car, but as soon as they made contact, they all started howling and screaming.

What do Qu Qingyou and Jiang Shiqi do? Do you really think they're just ordinary drivers?

In no time, four of the six or seven boisterous drunkards were taken down, and the rest immediately cowered.

"Alcohol really does embolden cowards!"

Li Ye couldn't help but shake his head.

In fact, this is the normal behavior of ordinary people. Those who fight to the death at the slightest disagreement are a minority. People like Li Ye, who used to be a fool, and Qu Qingyou and Jiang Shiqi are even rarer.

However, after Jiang Shiqi dealt with the people, he suddenly returned to Li Ye and said, "Uncle, there are three people wearing Red Star Factory uniforms. Should I ask them about it?"

"From Hongxing Factory? What are people from Hongxing Factory doing here?"

Li Ye found it strange, because Hongxing Factory lost the opportunity to be merged into the First Branch Factory due to the factory director Han Jinqu's "selfless dedication", and in the end, it was split up by several state-owned enterprises.

The idea of ​​splitting up originated from a "joke" by Li Ye, which is why Jiang Shiqi suspected something was amiss when these people from the Red Star Factory were blocking the way and wanted to investigate further.
