That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 571 I Just Want to Be Special
Tuesday, afternoon, Beijing, drizzling.

Today is the day that Li Ye and Wen Leyu set off for Japan to attend the film festival. After Li Ye had lunch, he drove to the COFCO compound to pick up Wen Leyu.

When they arrived at Wen Leyu's house, Teacher Ke and Wen Qingsheng were not at home. Only the eldest brother Wen Guohua sent Wen Leyu out the door.

Wen Guohua, who is usually amiable, put on a fierce look after sending Wen Leyu to the car.

"I'm warning you! Don't bully my sister. If you bump into her, touch her, lose her, or make her cry, your life will be over."

Li Ye immediately assured: "Don't worry, big brother. I promise that Xiaoyu will come back safely and happily, without losing even a hair."

"Humph~"

Wen Guohua snorted and gave Li Ye a threatening look before letting Li Ye leave.

After getting in the car, Wen Leyu said, "Don't listen to my brother's nonsense. He just acts like a big brother all day long."

Li Ye drove while smiling and said, "He's not putting on airs today, he's warning me!"

"Every brother who sees his sister dating a bad boy will warn that bad boy."

Li Ye was very familiar with Wen Guohua's last threatening look, which meant "better behave yourself."

Wen Leyu was already a grown-up girl, so of course she understood what Li Ye meant. She subconsciously pressed her knees together, and her little face slowly began to turn red.
Then she said unhappily, "You are not a bad boy, why do you need him to care about you? Besides, how dare he say that about others?"

It makes sense that Wen Leyu is unhappy. Wen Guohua is entangled with Ning Pingping in all kinds of affairs, but he makes malicious speculations about a good young man like Li Ye. This is really like the officials being allowed to set fires while the common people are not allowed to light lamps.

Li Ye turned his head and stared at Wen Leyu for several seconds. He suddenly felt that if he really wanted to do something this time when they went out together, he probably wouldn't encounter much resistance.

But Wen Leyu seemed to sense something, and immediately said to Li Ye fiercely: "I'm warning you! Don't think about those messy things, behave yourself."

"."

My dear sister, do you know that some fierce and aggressive behavior can easily arouse a man's desire to conquer.

Li Ye drove out of Wen's house and went to Xiushui Street to call Wang Jianqiang, asking him to follow him to the airport and drive the car back.

After Wang Jianqiang got in the car, he asked, "Brother, do you need to pick up my brother-in-law and Brother Li?"

Li Ye shook his head: "No, they are not alone, the unit will send a car to take them there."

Yang Yumin and Li Huaisheng also went to the airport today, but each of them brought one extra person with them from their workplace.

"Okay, I'll drive it!"

Wang Jianqiang took the initiative to drive for Li Ye and let Li Ye go to the back seat to be intimate with his sister-in-law.

But after driving quietly for a while, he suddenly asked hesitantly: "Brother, when you go to that stupid Japanese film festival, can you meet Yamaguchi Baihui?"

Li Ye asked back, "How would I know that? Why are you asking this?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled awkwardly and said, "I want you to get me a signed poster."

"."

"Hahahaha, Qiangzi, are you still a fan? If Miss Suwen knew that you like Yamaguchi Baihui, she would spit in your face."

It is true that Huang Suwen loves Wang Jianqiang very much, but she is also a straightforward girl from Beijing. If she knew that the honest and upright Wang Jianqiang was actually obsessed with Yamaguchi Baihui, she would definitely spit at Wang Jianqiang.

However, Wang Jianqiang immediately explained eagerly: "No, no, brother, don't get the wrong idea. It's not me who wants the poster, it's Su Wen's brother who asked me for it."

"Oh, Su Wen's brother? Huang Gang?"

Li Ye finally reacted, and then asked with a smile: "What is your brother-in-law busy with recently? Is he still working on his restaurant? Is he making money?"

"It's good enough that he doesn't have to pay compensation," Wang Jianqiang said helplessly, "Su Wen and her mother are scolding him all day long, but he is just stubborn and I can't persuade him.
You must not tell Su Wen about the poster, or she will scold me too, saying that you are obsessed with celebrities all day and don’t have a decent wife.”

Huang Suwen’s elder brother Huang Gang is really a stubborn donkey.

When she was selling clothes in Xiushui Street, her sister had already made it clear that she had a relationship with Wang Jianqiang. With the support of Pengcheng Seventh Factory, she would definitely make a lot of money.

As a result, Huang Gang did not take advantage of his brother-in-law. He gave up his clothing business and switched to the catering industry.

Li Ye had been to that restaurant of his when Wang Jianqiang got engaged last time. It has a big facade and the food tastes good, but the management is chaotic. A bunch of bad friends go there every day to eat and drink as much as they want. If they have money, they just drop a few dollars there. If they don't, they just keep the money in debt. No matter how good your business is, it can't withstand such a mess!

But Huang Gang is very content because he feels he has gained face.

Giving face to friends is much more important than making money.

"Okay, if I run into Yamaguchi Momoe, I'll ask for an autographed photo from her, but if I don't run into her, there's nothing I can do."

“Hey, okay, bro!” . . . . . . .

Wang Jianqiang drove slowly but steadily and arrived at Beijing International Airport at 2:40 in the afternoon.

Li Ye had just got out of the car and had not yet taken out his luggage from the trunk when he saw his brother-in-law Yang Yumin, Li Huaisheng and Director Xiong from Changan Film Studio walking towards him quickly.

Director Xiong panted and said, "Brother, you are really patient! It's already so late for you to come."

Li Ye looked at his watch and asked in confusion, "Didn't we agree to meet at the airport at three o'clock? Did the flight schedule get changed?"

Director Xiong helped Li Ye with his luggage while explaining, "The flight hasn't been rescheduled, but everyone else has arrived. The team leader wanted to talk about the discipline rules just now, but it turned out that only the two of you didn't show up at one o'clock."

Li Ye curled his lips: "Then can this be blamed on me?"

Li Huaisheng grabbed Li Ye's arm and walked inside, saying with a smile: "Hey, just listen to it, it goes in one ear and out the other, don't take it seriously, isn't that enough?"

"."

Yang Yumin helped Wen Leyu with her luggage, and followed Li Ye into the departure hall with a smile on his face.

As soon as he entered the hall, Li Ye couldn't help but say, "Wow, why are there so many people? And they are all so serious?"

I saw a large group of people sitting in two rows of seats in an orderly manner, waiting quietly like good students attending class.

"Li Ye, come and sit here."

Director Lao Xie, lead actress Pan Hong and others whom Li Ye knew saw Li Ye coming and greeted him with a smile, which attracted the attention of a long-faced man.

The man was in his fifties, looked dignified, and had a pen stuck in the pocket of his Zhongshan suit, a typical managerial demeanor.

He stood up and held out his hand to Li Ye: "Li Ye, right? I'm Zhou Ziyuan, the leader of the film festival delegation."

Li Ye shook hands with him politely: "Hello, Captain Zhou, I am Li Ye."

Zhou Ziyuan nodded, and suddenly asked Wen Leyu: "This female comrade must be Wen Leyu, right? Is she your girlfriend, Li Ye?"

Li Ye frowned slightly and said calmly: "She is the costume designer of "Homelander". Most of the costumes of the characters in the movie were designed by her."

Wen Leyu is indeed Li Ye's girlfriend, but this time Wen Leyu went to the film festival based on his contribution to "Hometown", so Li Ye was not very satisfied with Zhou Ziyuan's words.

Who are you talking about? To be honest, you all used my connections.

"Oh~, then you guys sit down first, I'll tell you some things to pay attention to."

Zhou Ziyuan glanced at Li Ye twice, turned his head slightly to motion Li Ye to sit down, and then he began to preach the discipline.

"Everyone is representing our country when they attend the film festival, so we must abide by the rules and stay united.
Getting on and off the plane requires queuing in two horizontal lines, leaving the line to go to the toilet requires reporting, and all personnel supervise each other in pre-arranged groups, and any behavior that violates discipline is not allowed to occur."

Li Ye listened to Zhou Ziyuan's lecture, but it did not go in one ear and out the other.

Because this kind of cliché is obviously carefully considered, and every sentence has its purpose. For example, reporting when leaving the team and group members supervising each other are all to prevent members of the exhibition group from "leaving the team and escaping."

In the 1980s, people going abroad were fascinated by the prosperity of foreign countries, and escape from overseas assignments was not a new thing.

So behind every sentence, there may be a story and a lesson.

However, Zhou Ziyuan's next sentence seemed to be telling Li Ye's story.

"I emphasize again that when we go abroad, we are a group. We must have a sense of collectiveness and a sense of time, collective management, and collective action.

Don’t let everyone be present when some individuals are still dawdling and dragging their feet. Do you want to make everyone wait for you? No matter who you are, you are not allowed to be treated specially.”

Zhou Ziyuan finished his lecture.

Li Ye looked at him coldly, wondering whether he should argue with him about right and wrong right now.

Zhou Ziyuan also looked at Li Ye sternly, as if waiting for Li Ye to jump out and establish his authority as the leader.

Old Xie, who was sitting next to Li Ye, pulled Li Ye's sleeve and whispered, "Don't mind it. He just emphasized that everyone should not seek special treatment, otherwise it would be difficult to lead the group. He didn't deliberately target you."

Li Ye nodded, giving Old Xie some face, but also said something with a faint smile.

"Director Xie, he was right about one thing. I just want to be special."
