That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 685: He is not a live-in son-in-law, is he? (I am in a hurry, so I will take a leave and update it tomorrow)

Every year at the beginning of July at the Beijing Railway Station, there is always a group of young people gathering on the platform, crying "very disappointingly", shedding tears like children who are not afraid of embarrassment.

But no one in the station would laugh at them, because they were all college graduates saying goodbye to their classmates, and after this farewell, they might never see each other again.

Li Ye was also in the farewell team. Seventeen students from his class stayed in Beijing this year, while more people could only drift around like dandelion seeds, taking root and growing in another place.

Some students left after receiving their dispatch certificates, without even having a "graduation dinner" with their classmates.

The remaining students will most likely burst into tears on the platform.

"Squad leader, Lao Pu, Li Ye, don't forget me, don't forget me! Woo woo woo~"

As the train slowly left the platform, several students retreated behind the windows to wipe their tears, not wanting Li Ye, Chen Xiaoling and others to see their loneliness.
He Dazhuang, who always presented himself as a tough guy, leaned most of his body out of the car window, crying loudly, and repeatedly told his classmates who stayed in Beijing not to forget him.

Even Li Ye, who was not very fond of He Dazhuang, waved at him and gave him polite comfort.

It's not the revenge for his father's murder or his wife's abduction, so don't rub salt into his wounds at this time.

When the train went quite far away, another boy suddenly leaned out of the window and shouted with all his strength towards Li Ye, Chen Xiaoling and others.

"Chen Xiao. Ling. I like you"

But there was some wind today, so Chen Xiaoling couldn't hear clearly, so she asked Li Ye: "What is Yang Ye shouting?"

Chen Xiaoling was very familiar with Li Ye and knew that he had a very sharp ear.

Li Ye said softly: "Yang Ye said he likes you."

Chen Xiaoling stared at Li Ye in a daze. After a long while, he said in disbelief, "Did you hear it right?"

"."

Yang Ye is a fair-skinned and shy boy. Sometimes he seems more quiet than girls. He has beautiful handwriting and plays table tennis very well.

Although there was no concept of flower boys at that time, Yang Ye was still quite popular among the girls in school.
But Yang Ye had never had any "scandal" with any girl. Who would have thought that at this moment of farewell after graduation, he would shout out such a thing to Chen Xiaoling.

Hearing Chen Xiaoling's doubt, Li Ye asked jokingly: "How about we catch up and ask? I drove here. If you want, we can catch up with them at the next platform, and you can ask them in person what Yang Ye just shouted to you."

The maximum average speed of the train at this moment is only 60 kilometers per hour. As long as Li Ye's Santana runs as fast as possible, it will be much more reliable than a Cadillac chasing the high-speed train.

But after a moment of silence, Chen Xiaoling laughed and slowly shook his head.

[Alas, there are always some fools who are harmed by their own reserve and silently miss the flowering period. ]

. . . . . . .

The next day after seeing off all his classmates, Li Ye went to Beijing Light Vehicle Company with his registration documents.

Because it is a joint venture company established based on Haidian Automobile Factory, Hong Kong Island and COFCO are only investors, so the newly established company is still in Haidian. Moreover, because it was established not long ago, many places just added a sign, which seems a bit confusing.

Li Ye couldn't figure out the situation, so he planned to go to the guard to ask first.

There are always a few idle uncles among the security guards of every state-owned enterprise. When Li Ye was seven or eight meters away from the gate, an uncle stuck his head out of the window.

"Young man, are you here to report?"

"Yeah, sir, how did you know I was here to report?"

Li Ye was really a little curious. He had been very low-key when joining the light automobile company this time. How could he be recognized?
Li Ye came to the Light Automobile Company, firstly to gain experience, and secondly to learn the ropes.

If you want to run a business well, of course you must first understand its difficulties and needs, and then solve them properly after weighing various considerations. If you follow the textbook and do it one-size-fits-all, you will most likely suffer heavy losses.

But if Li Ye came here under the banner of Hong Kong Island Seris or COFCO, he would become an "investor", so he might not be able to have a deep understanding of many things within the company.

So Li Ye was directly assigned to the Light Automobile Company, where he would first work at the grassroots level for six months to lay the foundation for the next plan.

The old man at the gate saw Li Ye's strange look and smiled as if he was used to it, "Every year at this time, there are always assigned college students and technical school students coming to report. You kids have a special smell on you. I can smell it from a long distance away."

"Uncle, you have a good eye. Here are my registration documents. Can you help me find which department I should go to to complete the entry procedures?"

Li Ye praised the security guard and then showed him his documents.

After the old man took it, he stretched his hand forward, tilted his head back, and increased the distance between his eyes and the registration procedures. It was obvious that his eyesight was a little blurry and he couldn't see clearly when he got close.

Then he asked in surprise: "Yeah, you graduated from Kyoto University? Or did you study world economics?"

Li Ye nodded and was about to speak when he saw several guards who were chatting at the gate stood up.

"From Kyoto? Which Kyoto?"

"Which other Peking University is there? The Peking University in Zhongguancun!"

"Hiss, a Beijing University graduate is assigned to our school? Are college students worthless these days? Why did I hear that they were assigned to ministries and departments in the past two years?"

"What do you mean worthless? Haven't you listened to what others have learned about world economics? We are a joint venture company now, and we need college students who know foreign languages.

And maybe they can get double the salary in Hong Kong! It's much more than the meager salary here. They wouldn't even trade it for a section chief in a ministry, right?"

"You are totally stupid. Economics majors are useless in a unit like ours. The Planning and Economic Commission, the Ministry of Finance, banks and large state-owned enterprises are where they should go."

"You are the fool! I only know a physics major who was assigned to the office as a secretary. What use can his physics knowledge be put to?"

"." "Little brother, don't listen to them. I'll take you to go through the registration procedures."

Several security guards in the guard room started arguing with each other, and the old man with Li Ye's documents simply walked out and took Li Ye to report to the factory office.

After arriving at the factory office, the old man shouted loudly: "Director Lu, there are college students assigned here, graduates from Peking University."

"From Kyoto University? It's been a while since we've been assigned a Kyoto University student, right?"

"One was assigned here in the 1960s, but he was transferred away soon after."

The colleagues inside were also surprised, and soon alarmed other departments upstairs.

[Hey, hey, hey, a student from Peking University has just been assigned to our unit. He’s a boy, 1.8 meters tall, and very handsome! ]

[You tell everyone you meet is super handsome, I don’t believe you. 】

[I won't lie to you this time, he is much more handsome than Lin Qiang and Tang Guoqiang. ]

【Let’s go and have a look. 】

However, these people did not say anything like "worthless", but were very interested in Li Ye's personal problems.

In particular, several middle-aged ladies looked at the handsome Li Ye and asked him seven or eight questions in one breath.

"Xiao Li, are you from Dongshan? Are you used to living in Beijing? How many people are there in your family? What do your parents do? Do you have a partner?"

Li Ye smiled and showed a "shy" expression, filtering out most of the questions directly and only answering a few questions that the elder sisters were most concerned about.

"I have an older sister and a younger sister at home. My parents are ordinary workers. I have a partner and will get married soon."

"You have a partner? Are you getting married soon?"

An older sister looked at Li Ye in surprise, then chuckled and said, "Xiao Li, where is your date from? Have you met her parents? You can't think that you can really become husband and wife just by making a vow in school!"

"."

Before Li Ye could answer, Director Lu from the factory office introduced her jokingly, "This is Sister Mai from our labor union. You can't get around her management if you want to get married."

The union chairman does have a lot to do with the workers' marriages. For example, you have to borrow lanterns to hang at the door, and the union can also give suggestions when applying for housing. If they think you are not qualified, then you are not qualified.

So Li Ye answered very seriously: "Sister Mai, my partner is from Beijing. Our parents have met each other. After I start working, I will ask the company to issue a letter of introduction for marriage registration!"

"."

Everyone around was stunned, and the light in several girls' eyes dimmed instantly.

This is just like some of the products on sale in Jingdong Mall. They look to be within easy reach, good quality and cheap, but when you click on them, you just can’t pay.

Then in the blink of an eye, they were sold out.

"Oh, then I'm useless! I was thinking about the social gathering with the brother units next month, so I could overshadow them! Oh, what a pity."

Li Ye smiled and said, "How can it be useless? Sister Mai, I will apply to join the union. Once I settle down, I will submit the application to you."

"Write a note now and I'll approve it for you now."

Sister Mai smiled cheerfully and said, "When you have decided on a wedding date, come to me to claim your benefits! And remember to ask Director Lu for housing. Although housing in our company is not in short supply, it is still on a first-come, first-served basis."

"Hahahaha, the manager has already given instructions that special matters for college students will be handled with priority. Li Ye, just come to me after you get your marriage certificate."

I have to say that when Li Ye first arrived at the company, the few new colleagues he met all looked nice, at least none of them put on airs or had a pretentious attitude.

However, Li Ye still said awkwardly: "That's not necessary. My wedding room is already ready. Thank you, Director Lu, and thank you, Sister Mai!"

Sister Mai was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Li Ye, aren't you from Dongshan? How come you have a house in Beijing?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "My wife has a house in the capital. It's not big, but it's big enough for us to live in."

What Li Ye said was correct. The house on Fuyou Street was bought in the name of Wen Leyu.

"Oh~"

Sister Mai suddenly understood something, and then smiled and said, "Li Ye, you are so quick! You just graduated, and you are ready to have a baby?"

"Hahahaha~"

Everyone around laughed, and a few people whispered, "Could this Xiao Li be called a live-in son-in-law?"

"He looks like this, and he graduated from Beijing University. Let me recruit him as my son-in-law."

"Come on! You want a live-in son-in-law? Do you have a house?"

"I'll give him my house and rent one myself."

“Then I have someone suitable.”

"Go away, just keep your stupid nephew to yourself! There are a whole row of people who want to pursue my daughter."
