That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 700: Waste of talent? Are you kidding me?

Li Ye felt a little tired because there were many more guests today than he expected.

The fellow villagers from Qingshui County were greeted by his father and grandfather, and his classmates and friends were received by his brother-in-law Yang Yumin and Jin Peng, but Wen Qingsheng called him over from time to time, so he had to be fully alert and deal with it on his own.

But Li Ye couldn't complain at all, because it was all the hard work of Teacher Ke and Wen Qingsheng.

If he hadn't gotten married, how could Li Ye have had the right opportunity to talk to so many big shots? How could he have made himself familiar with them?
You can't take Li Ye to each house to introduce them to each other, right?

Taking advantage of today's opportunity, Teacher Ke and Wen Qingsheng wanted to let Li Ye make his first official appearance in front of the Wen family's network of connections.

From now on, he will be labeled as “son-in-law of the Wen family”.

Of course, he’s not a live-in son-in-law!
Normally, Wen Qingsheng could have arranged for today's marriage to be held at the COFCO Guest House, but he didn't, so some people were surprised.

Does Li Ye have some special ability? That's why he deliberately avoids being called a "son-in-law"?

Lu Zhizhang is one of those “some people”.

According to his past experience, today's wedding must be held according to the standard of equal status, but Lu Zhizhang has seen Li Ye's personnel file and found that his grandfather was only a deputy director, which is a world away from Wen Qingsheng!

However, as other guests took their seats, Lu Zhizhang's doubts slowly dissipated.

Sitting at the same table with Lu Zhizhang and Lao Ding were his senior brothers and sisters Yu Xiufen and Zou Mengcheng, as well as the two "uncles and aunts" Liu Muhan and Liu Muyang, and Li Ye's brother-in-law Yang Yumin.

After everyone introduced themselves, Lu Zhizhang finally understood that Li Ye was actually the "darling of the group".

Let’s not talk about Li Ye’s teacher Zhang Qiyan, the economics master, who has already caught the attention of the highest center.
They are the senior brothers and sisters as well as the Liu brothers and sisters. Although they are all very young, most of them have reached the department level now, and can definitely be called young and promising.

Even the youngest, tomboyish Cai Minying was already Section Chief Cai in the Economic Planning Commission.

Li Ye’s brother-in-law, Yang Yumin, is the section chief of the Central Selection Department.

They are all section chiefs in their twenties!

Lu Zhizhang couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Since the "younger cadres" policy was officially advocated in 82, people like Yu Xiufen, Zou Mengcheng, Liu Muhan and Liu Muyang all had a chance to get on the rocket, which made them several times luckier than lucky guys like himself.

Therefore, Li Ye is not the "silly country boy" as Section Chief Wu thought, but a "young rookie" who is good at getting along with everyone, has deep connections, and is a pig in the pig's throat.

"Sun Xianjin, you're back from Moscow? We thought you were fascinated by Natasha."

Lu Zhizhang was just thinking about his kung fu when he heard a shout from the seat next to him. Then he saw a family of three rushing over and playing with Li Ye's other classmates.

Li Ye also rushed over from another corner.

He didn't expect that Sun Xianjin would come from Moscow, and brought his father and fiancée Bian Jingjing with him.

As soon as Sun Xianjin saw Li Ye, he began to complain: "Brother, I really didn't expect the traffic in Soviet Russia to be so bad. I bought a plane ticket at a high price, but it had to make an emergency landing halfway through the flight.

I finally found Brother Peng's friend and got on the train, but let's not talk about the troubles along the way. I almost missed your wedding!"

Li Ye was startled and said quickly: "Is this the only thing that matters to our relationship? You have been in so much danger along the way!"

The Russian aircraft and international long-distance trains were synonymous with danger in later generations, so Li Ye felt that there was no need to take risks for a wedding.

But Sun Xianjin shook his head firmly and said, "This is no small matter. If I didn't come to your wedding, I wouldn't be able to sleep well at night. Fortunately, Brother Peng's friends helped me, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to make it in time."

"You, you, you, you should put safety first when you go out. You are unfamiliar with the place. Don't say anything. Have a good rest today. I will talk to you tomorrow."

Li Ye was deeply moved and quickly invited Sun Xianjin, his father and daughter-in-law to take their seats.

Sun Xianjin and Bian Jingjing naturally sat at the table with Chen Xiaoling and the others, while Sun Xianjin's father Sun Maolin was arranged to sit at Lu Zhizhang's side.

Arranging guests is also a science. Everyone must have common topics to talk about so that they can enjoy the wine. You can't put the rocket maker and the crosstalk performer at the same table and let them discuss how great it would be if the rocket was powered by coal.

Sun Maolin is the director of the forest farm. He is about the same age as Lu Zhizhang. Soon they became excited and talked about their children. "Director Sun, your son is an international student! He will have great potential when he returns."

"Hey, if it was in front of others, I would definitely show off for a long time, but forget it here! My child's cleverness is not worth showing off, not worth showing off."

Sun Maolin is not a humble person, but he also knows his own children's abilities. Who here is uneducated?
"Be humble, be humble,"

Director Lu quickly smiled and said, "Director Sun, you are too modest. Children who are selected to study abroad are rare, and their future is limitless. Limitless."

In 1986, the mainland was dazzled by the advanced society overseas. The minds of an entire generation were branded with the idea that "the moon is rounder in foreign countries", which has not been completely erased even after decades.

Therefore, Director Lu sincerely believes that Sun Xianjin has a bright future.

Of course, there is indeed a bright future ahead, but it depends on who you compare yourself with.

"Ah~"

Sun Maolin sighed and told the truth: "Speaking of my son's opportunity to study abroad! It should have been Li Ye's, but Li Ye didn't go, so in the end it fell on my son's head."

"What? Li Ye gave up the opportunity to study abroad?"

Lu Zhizhang looked at everyone in surprise, and then found that everyone's expressions were very calm.

He turned around and looked at Lao Ding, who was also very surprised.

This is really incredible.

"Yes, my brother-in-law did refuse the opportunity to study abroad, and more than once, he even gave up the opportunity to study abroad at Beacon University."

"."

Yang Yumin's words were the final word, forcing Lu Zhizhang and Lao Ding to believe it.

At this moment, the little sister who had always had a stern face said something that made Director Lu and Lao Ding very embarrassed.

"I really don't understand. It would be fine if Li Ye didn't go abroad to study. After all, he kept saying that he wanted to serve the motherland as soon as possible. But because of an article, he was assigned to your small unit. What a waste of talent."

"."

If someone else said this, Lao Ding would definitely spit in that person's face, but the other person was a top student who had returned from studying abroad at Lighthouse, so Lao Ding really didn't have the confidence to argue with her.

However, when Lao Ding and Director Lu saw Pei Wencong, they realized that even this top student who had returned from studying abroad did not understand the ways of the mainland society.

When the Light Automobile Company was founded, Pei Wencong showed up once at the groundbreaking ceremony. He was very arrogant and only had dinner with his superiors once. He never paid any attention to the people from the Light Automobile Company.

But now seeing that the other person was chatting and laughing with Li Ye, could it be that he recognized the wrong person?

So Lu Zhizhang asked Yang Yumin: "Chief Yang, who is that boss?"

Yang Yumin took a look and said, "Oh, Pei Wencong! I've known Li Ye for a long time."

Lu Zhizhang swallowed his saliva and asked, "Just acquaintance?"

"Of course not," Yang Yumin said with a smile, "Mr. Pei and my brother-in-law are literary friends. My brother-in-law writes novels, and he writes very well. He earns more than six figures just from his royalties."

"."

Am I asking about the royalties?

What I'm asking is about his relationship with Hong Kong capital, okay?
COFCO, First Ministry of Machine Building, and Hong Kong capital. Li Ye has connections with all three shareholders. Do you think it is a waste of talent in our unit?

You are fooling a fool! The top student who came back from studying abroad doesn't understand? Do you think I don't understand either?
