That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1522 Everything is under control

Li Ye stayed in Ma Zhaoxian's office for half an hour before coming out. When he did, he had a stern face and looked like he didn't want to be approached, which made the onlookers even more excited, and all sorts of rumors spread.

The next day, Zhou Ziqing couldn't help but ask Li Ye, "President Li, are you really going to take up a post in the Southwest?"

Li Ye looked at his usually calm and composed assistant and said helplessly, "What's wrong, Sister Zhou? Even you're losing your composure?"

Zhou Ziqing smiled and said, "It's like this, Mr. Li, because my child is still young, I can't leave him."

Li Ye sighed, feeling a pang of disappointment.

Zhou Ziqing was a "capable assistant" whom Li Ye highly valued. Like Lu Zhizhang, she was someone Li Ye was determined to "promote" all the way. However, now that she has just encountered some trouble, she is eager to cut ties with him.

Of course, Li Ye couldn't say anything to Zhou Ziqing. After all, Zhou Ziqing had finally gotten pregnant and given birth, and she was still in daycare! It would be too cruel for a mother to send Zhou Ziqing to the southwest with him and not see her child for months.

However, just as Li Ye was thinking this, Zhou Ziqing said the rest of her sentence.

"So if General Manager Li really is going to take a position at Southwest Heavy Truck, then let's transfer my husband, Lao Jie, there too! I discussed it with him yesterday, and if our whole family goes to Southwest, we can work more diligently."

"."

Li Ye was stunned for a while, then burst out laughing.

Zhou Ziqing actually played a "deep breath" game with Li Ye, which caused Li Ye to completely misunderstand.

It must be said that Zhou Ziqing is definitely a "wise woman" among women. She is calm and rational in the face of things and has the qualities of a great leader. If it weren't for her status as a woman and the setbacks in her marriage, she would never have compromised and gone to the No. 1 factory to "beg for a place to stay".

Now that Li Ye has just shown a possibility of going to the southwest, Zhou Ziqing immediately moved her whole family to support him, even taking Lao Jie and the children with her. This can definitely be described as magnanimous and decisive.

You have to understand that Southwest China in the 1990s was nothing like the charm and prosperity of later times. It was completely incomparable to Beijing. A Beijing hukou (household registration) was something to be envied by everyone.

Let alone going from Beijing to the southwest, even among those who participated in the Third Front construction, would they really be willing to leave their hometowns and go to the mountainous areas of the southwest?
After Li Ye finished laughing, he waved to Zhou Ziqing, signaling her to come closer, and then said something meaningful.

"Who told you I was going to the southwest?"

Zhou Ziqing: "."

. . . . . . . . . .

When Qu Si conveyed the instructions, he did not explicitly name Li Ye, but the vast majority of people in the Jingnan Group assumed it was Li Ye, which led to a series of reactions.

The following afternoon, the first branch factory submitted a plan report for "prototype road test" to the group headquarters, indicating that the road test phase of Kamaz's prototype vehicle would begin next week.

This was originally a good thing to report, but the day after the plan was submitted, it was sternly stopped by Gan Zhongjie, the head of the technical department.

Wu Yan immediately called Li Ye, and as soon as the call connected, he roared, "Li Ye, what exactly is going on?"

You gave us a firm order to produce a prototype and start testing within this month. Now, after working tirelessly for half a month, we've finally produced a prototype, and that Gan Zhongjie is saying we're talking nonsense and demanding we immediately stop the research and development plan."

Li Ye was very surprised and immediately interrupted, "Shut up first. Gan Zhongjie told you to stop the research and development plan? Is that any of his business?"

Wu Yan said angrily, "He officially issued the document to us in the name of the group. When I called to question him, he immediately belittled our technical solution, calling it worthless. When I argued with him about the technology, he just spouted nonsense that didn't make any sense."
I'm not getting angry on purpose, Li Ye. I just feel that since Xiao Zhu and you are both at the group headquarters, how come you let this idiot be in charge of technology?

And I also heard you're being transferred to Southwest Heavy Truck? What are you going to do in that shithole? Our branch factory has so many projects already underway, isn't that enough for you to keep busy?"

"Hahahaha~"

Li Ye laughed heartily, then his face turned cold, and he said, "Wait for me for ten minutes, and I'll give you a clear answer."

Li Ye hung up Wu Yan's call and immediately dialed the technical department's number.

"This is Li Ye. Tell Gan Zhongjie to come to my office immediately. What? You need to have a meeting?"

After receiving Li Ye's call, Gan Zhongjie surprisingly said that he had a meeting and was too busy to come to Li Ye's office, which would have been impossible before.

Without saying a word, Li Ye hung up the phone and went straight to the technical department.

Upon arriving at the technical department, Li Ye disregarded his secretary's attempts to stop him and kicked open the conference room door.

There were about a dozen people sitting in the conference room. Judging from their appearance, they had just sat down and the meeting hadn't even started yet!

Sitting at the head of the table, Gan Zhongjie was somewhat embarrassed. He stood up and said with a stern face, "Deputy General Manager Li, who are you taking your anger out on?"

"I'm going after you!"

Li Ye didn't mince words and directly questioned, "I just received a call saying that you stopped the road test plan for the Kamaz prototype at the First Factory. I'm asking you, Gan Zhongjie, what right do you have to interfere with the normal research and development of the First Factory?"

Gan Zhongjie probably didn't expect Li Ye to be so direct and stern, and it took him a long time to organize his thoughts and reply.

“Deputy General Manager Li, I am the head of the technology department of Jingnan Group. I have the authority to decide the technological direction of the entire group. The R&D plan of Branch Factory One overlaps with the plan of Southwest Group.” “You have the right to make decisions, my ass!”

Li Ye cut off Gan Zhongjie's answer with a curse word, and then said sarcastically, "You can go ask Shang Bin right now whether the operation of the branch factory is under his jurisdiction. He has no say in it, so who do you think you are?"

Gan Zhongjie's face turned bright red from Li Ye's scolding.

When the Jingnan Group was merged, it was clearly stated that the No. 1 Factory would be independently accounted for and operated. Although it was nominally part of the Jingnan Group, its output value and profit were only included in reports to make it look better.

Li Ye, the deputy general manager, was actually appointed for the branch factory, and he was in charge of all the operations of the branch factory.

So when Li Ye said those words, Gan Zhongjie couldn't think of anything to refute him for a moment.

His position was already lower than Li Ye's, but now Li Ye was exuding an aura that completely suppressed him.

Even so, Li Ye did not give up immediately.

He picked up his phone and dialed Wu Yan's number: "Hey, Wu Yan, I can tell you now that from now on, no one can hinder the research and development of new products without my signature. If anyone stupidly orders you around, just ignore them."

"."

After Li Ye finished speaking, everyone in the conference room blushed.

Gan Zhongjie and the others from Southwest Heavy Truck were red with anger, while Xiao Zhu and the other people from Light Truck Company were red with suppressed laughter.

Li Ye hasn't actually acted tough for a long time, and people quite miss the Li Ye who used to kick people.

However, just as Li Ye turned to leave, Gan Zhongjie suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Deputy General Manager Li, we are all from Jingnan Group. We should help each other at work. If you give me face today, I will give you face tomorrow. So please don't be so arrogant."

Gan Zhongjie's words were full of threats.

In the capital, Li Ye was naturally well-connected and ruthless, but once he arrived in the southwest, that would be Gan Zhongjie and his gang's territory. When they bullied Li Ye then, he would regret it.

But Li Ye merely turned his head slightly and uttered two words to Gan Zhongjie: "SB!"

. . . . . . . . . .

News of Li Ye's brain technology department quickly spread throughout the group headquarters, and then Shang Bin convened a standing committee meeting.

Shang Bin said with a stern face, "Yesterday, Director Qu asked us to select candidates to go to the Southwest as soon as possible. I originally wanted to wait until I returned from the position of deputy general manager before making the selection, but now it seems that we should make the selection ahead of schedule! Otherwise, people will be in a state of panic, which could easily lead to conflicts."

Li Ye glanced up at Shang Bin, then lowered his eyes again, quietly waiting for his performance.

"Cough cough~"

Seeing that no one responded, Shang Bin continued, "In order to comply with the instructions from above, I believe that the personnel selected to be sent to the Southwest must meet the following conditions: first, they must have an educational background; second, they must have work experience; and third..."

Listening to Shang Bin's string of conditions and requirements, Li Ye felt that this was exactly what "Luo Bo Gang" would be like decades later. All these conditions were tailor-made for Li Ye, as if he was being treated with great favor.

Sure enough, after explaining the conditions, Shang Bin said confidently, "Therefore, I believe that Comrade Li Ye is the best candidate to undertake this aid mission."

"."

Shang Bin then offered many words of encouragement to Li Ye, before smiling and saying, "Li Ye, the higher-ups have always highly recognized your abilities. Your promotion to the Southwest this time is well-deserved."

Li Ye smiled faintly: "Secretary Shang, since it's a nomination by everyone, it's natural for everyone to express their opinions. You're not trying to make a decision on your own, are you?"

"Hehehehe~"

Shang Bin laughed a few times, then said, "Of course not. Let's vote now! Those who agree with Comrade Li Ye, please raise your hands."

Shang Bin raised his hand first, followed by Weng Keming and Zhang Guitang from Southwest Heavy Truck. If Jin Hong hadn't come today, Shang Bin and his team would have had an extra vote, and the result would have been almost a done deal.

But Li Ye smiled mysteriously and said, "I recommend Comrade Dong Shan to go to the Southwest to assist in enterprise reform."

Shang Bin was clearly surprised that Li Ye would recommend someone else, and asked in astonishment, "Who? Dong Shan?"

Li Ye did not answer Shang Bin, but instead raised his hand: "Yes, I recommend Dong Shan. Those who agree, please raise your hands."

Ma Zhaoxian calmly raised his hand, and then Lao Meng also raised his hand.

Three to three.

Shang Bin was stunned.

Li Ye is actually trying to pass on such a large piece of the pie that he himself gave up.

Dong Shan? What is Dong Shan anyway?
