That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 687: A show of force

"Let's go! Let's go to my house for dinner. My mom made Shandong cuisine today!"

"We're not going sister-in-law, my classmates are asking me to go shopping!"

"Me too. I'm leaving first, sister-in-law."

Fu Yiru and Li Juan followed Wen Leyu to Fuyou Street. After helping their brother and sister-in-law tidy up the study, they both declined Wen Leyu's invitation.

It has to be said that these two younger sisters are not good at scheming. If the three people from their eldest aunt's family were here, they would definitely go to the Wen family and toast to Teacher Ke and Wen Qingsheng.

After the two sisters left, Li Ye and Wen Leyu bought some fruits and went to their father-in-law's house for a meal.

On the way, Wen Leyu suddenly said with a smile: "There is one good thing about living here. We can go back to my house for dinner in the evening, so we don't have to cook for ourselves."

"Don't!"

Li Ye quickly waved his hand and said, "You can go back every day, but I can't. Although I like drinking with your father and your brother, I can't go to your house every day.

You don't know! When I reported to work yesterday, someone asked me this and that. I said my wife is from Beijing, and someone started to wonder if I was a live-in son-in-law."

"Squeak~~"

Wen Leyu braked and stopped the car on the side of the road, and asked sternly, "Who is talking so much?"

"."

Li Ye looked at his wife who suddenly became furious and nodded in agreement, "It's true that some people just like to talk too much.

But Xiaoyu, think about it yourself. Isn't it common for a daughter-in-law to go back to her parents' home every day? But isn't it rare for a son-in-law to go to his mother-in-law's home every day? Can we go to your house for a meal every week?"

Wen Leyu, who was originally very angry, pouted his lips, and after a long time, he drove back on the road.

But after driving for a long time, she still angrily spat out a few words: "It's really hateful."

However, although Wen Leyu was angry, Li Ye could see that she understood Li Ye's thoughts.

A son-in-law may always feel a little uncomfortable when he goes to his father-in-law and mother-in-law's house for meals all day long!
. . . . . . . . . . .

When Li Ye arrived at Wen Leyu's house, there was indeed a table full of Shandong cuisine.

However, today we are not just entertaining Li Ye, the future son-in-law, there is another guest.

Li Ye had seen this guest before. He was Director Ma, Ma Zhaoxian, who accompanied Li Ye and others to drink at Wen Guohua's wedding.

Of course, the current Ma Zhaoxian can no longer be called Director Ma.

Beijing Light Vehicle Company was a joint venture of three units. Ma Zhaoxian was sent by COFCO to serve as deputy manager, and from now on he had to be called Manager Ma.

Manager Ma was sitting on the sofa chatting with Wen Qingsheng. When he saw Li Ye come in, he leaned forward imperceptibly and smiled at Li Ye. The scale was just right.

If he stood up and greeted Li Ye, he would be taking himself too lightly.

But if he put on airs in front of Li Ye, he would be disrespecting Wen Qingsheng in front of him. He knew very well who his strong supporter was.

However, Li Ye was not an ignorant child, and he immediately bowed to Manager Ma and said hello: "Hello, Manager Ma, we meet again."

"Hey, why call me manager? We can't discuss this by position anymore. Just call me Lao Ma."

"That won't do. How about this? From now on, I'll call you Manager Ma at work, and Uncle Ma in private!"

"Well, that won't do. Brother Li Ye and I just hit it off right away. Otherwise, I'll just pretend to be a big shot and call you Brother Li."

"Okay then, I'll call you Brother Ma from now on."

Li Ye didn't mind calling Ma Zhaoxian something, but he and Wen Qingsheng were colleagues, and he called him "big brother", then how should he and Wen Qingsheng negotiate?
. . . . . . . . .

After the meal started, Li Ye took the initiative to have a drink with Ma Zhaoxian, as a way to make a good start for their future interactions.

Ma Zhaoxian drank the wine cheerfully and asked with a smile: "Li Ye! You reported to the unit yesterday, right? Have you thought about which department you want to go to?"

Li Ye shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it. When I went to report yesterday, the factory office said that I would be assigned a specific job on Monday. Maybe they have already made arrangements!"

"We can't let them decide!"

Ma Zhaoxian waved his hand and said, "I didn't know some of the situations before, so I didn't consider the problem thoroughly. If I had known that the Hong Kong capital was brought in by you, brother Li, I would have set up a separate department for you to go in and gain experience." ""

Li Ye listened to Ma Zhaoxian's honest words and could only smile without saying anything.

Sometimes it is necessary to set up a separate department, while sometimes it is not.

For example, Wen Leyu was assigned to the third supervision department of Sino-Singapore Company when she reported for work on Saturday, specifically responsible for supervising several newly established joint ventures.

To be honest, these joint ventures are Li Ye and Wen Leyu's own businesses, so no one is allowed to interfere with them.

But after all, Qingqi is the major shareholder. Li Ye would feel embarrassed if he treated them too specially.

Seeing Li Ye smiling without saying anything, Ma Zhaoxian said, "I have just reported to President Wen. The joint venture company has just been established and there are not many suitable places.

However, the head of the supply department retired early due to accounting issues some time ago. The department has a heavy workload and is short of manpower, so what do you think about going to the supply department to learn first?"

"Thank you, Brother Ma. I'll toast you another glass."

What else can Li Ye do?
Does it mean "I am a screw, and you screw me into the most difficult and tiring place"?

Isn't that a fool?
After finalizing Li Ye's temporary training position, Ma Zhaoxian became more open-minded. He drank several glasses of wine with Wen Qingsheng and Li Ye. Finally, he was too drunk and got up to say goodbye.

After Ma Zhaoxian left, Teacher Ke said seriously, "Li Ye! Although Xiao Ma is willing to take care of you, school is different from work.
After you arrive at the company, you should try to rely on yourself for everything, especially the small things."

Li Ye nodded repeatedly. Of course he knew these principles. After all, when he was working in the workplace in his previous life, he had also seen many people with connections.

Some of them who have connections are really powerful, but some are not. They rely on connections for everything, and in the end their personal achievements are not high.

Relationships are only a guarantee that you will not be bullied. If you want people around you to recognize you, you still have to rely on your personal abilities.

If you have 70% ability, connections can help you achieve 100% results, but if you only have 30% ability, how can connections help you?

"Okay, okay, let Li Ye slowly experience these little things in the future! Today, let's talk about marriage."

Wen Qingsheng waved to Teacher Ke, then asked Li Ye: "Are you all ready? Engagement on the 16th and wedding on the 17th, is that okay?"

Li Ye nodded and smiled, "It's okay, Uncle Wen. My family has confirmed with me several times, and everything is ready. Now we just need a marriage certificate."

Wen Qingsheng smiled faintly and said, "It's easy to get a marriage certificate! Ask your aunt to prepare the household registration booklet later, and you and Xiaoyu can go there next week."

Teacher Ke glanced at her husband with disdain and pouted, "Hey, hey, hey, people are reluctant to marry their daughter off, and you're urging them to do so!"

Wen Qingsheng leaned back on the sofa and said very proudly: "I am different from them, and Li Ye is also different from others!"

. . . . . . . .

On Monday, after Li Ye arrived at the unit, he received a notice that he was assigned to work in the supply department.

Director Lu from the factory office personally took Li Ye to the location and handed him over to a tall and thin Deputy Section Chief Wu.

Because the original section chief suddenly retired for special reasons, the department is temporarily without a section chief, and Deputy Section Chief Wu is temporarily taking over the work of the entire department.

Deputy Section Chief Wu was also very enthusiastic towards Li Ye. He arranged a table for him and then asked Li Ye if he had any other needs.

Li Ye smiled and said, "I really need Chief Wu's help with something. I'm getting married soon, so I need to borrow a collective household registration and also need a letter of introduction for registration."

"You really are getting married soon! They were gossiping about it yesterday and I thought it was a joke!"

Deputy Section Chief Wu smiled and shook his head, then said, "This is easy to handle, but Li Ye, what is your date of birth? Are you of marriageable age?"

Li Ye nodded and said, "Section Chief, my partner and I were both born in 1963, which meets the legal marriage age in the country."

In 1986, the country had begun to implement the family planning policy, advocating late marriage and late childbearing, but advocacy was not necessary, and in principle it only restricted the woman's age, and the man's requirements were the same.

Li Ye knew an example in his previous life. Someone’s daughter got married and her son-in-law was only 20 years old, so everything is feasible.

But Deputy Section Chief Wu was shocked and said seriously, "That won't do, Xiao Li. Our factory has very strict rules. You can't get a marriage introduction letter until you are 25!"

My time~
Li Ye was stunned, and subconsciously thought that he was being treated with a sense of power.

After all, he had eaten a lot of this stuff in his previous life.
