That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 739 Do I Need This Favor?

At the end of December, when the second snow of the winter of 1986 had ended, New Year's Day of 1987 was approaching.

According to the practice of state-owned enterprises, after New Year's Day, each unit will summarize the gains and losses of the year and report the results to the superior department. If there are achievements, they will be exaggerated appropriately, and if there are no achievements, they will be exaggerated.
There is no such thing as no achievements. Even if there are no achievements, you have to find them.
On that day, Li Ye was in the office with Lao Ding and Pan Dachuan, checking for omissions and finding out all the "achievements" of the Supply Department this year.

Pan Dachuan said: "Chief Ding, Deputy Chief Li, our department has four major achievements this year and eleven minor ones. I have listed them all here."

Old Ding smiled in surprise and said, "Great, Xiao Pan, why didn't I realize you had such a good brain all these years? It was a good decision to transfer you from next door."

Pan Dachuan was the clerk whom Li Ye transferred from the office next door that day. Originally, Li Ye was just doing it casually, but he never expected that this taciturn guy had very strong business capabilities. He was very clear about everything that could be counted as "achievements" in the past year.

Of course, the supply department’s performance this year is indeed good. Just the liquidation of defective products from the Fangshan Auto Parts Factory has saved the factory at least six figures.

As for other things like ensuring smooth supply, purchasing the best and so on, they are nothing compared to the highlight of "saving money".

After polishing these achievements, the summary report was completed, but Lao Ding did not submit it immediately. Instead, he communicated with other departments to make sure that no one was "making false claims" before letting Li Ye submit it before the final deadline.

Li Ye took the report to the factory office. He just greeted Director Lu with a smile when he heard someone calling his name.

"Li Ye, is this your department's summary report? Give it to me!"

Li Ye looked back and saw a tall man with glasses.

He knew this person, but not very well. He only knew that his name was Guan Liang and that he was the "personal secretary" of the unit's top leader.

The other party reached out his hand and took the report, smiling and said, "I have to see what is worth a thousand dollars a word. You said you make 20,000 for a script, so this report should be worth at least 3,000, right?"

"."

Li Ye looked at Guan Liang and said with a faint smile: "Secretary Guan, this was not written by me, but by my master. Please don't misunderstand me!"

"You didn't write it?"

Guan Liang was obviously stunned. He flipped through the report and asked curiously, "Why didn't Master Ding let you write the report? Doesn't he trust your writing skills and talent? Or are you very frugal with words?"

Li Ye shook his head slightly: "Because the report I wrote is not as good as the one written by my master."

Guan Liang looked at Li Ye in surprise. After a few seconds, he chuckled and said, "Li Ye, you have bought a car with your royalties, and you actually say that you are not as good as your master? How can you praise your master like this? Your flattery is not good enough!"

"."

Li Ye's expression turned dull. What the other party said was really unpleasant to hear.

The other people in the factory office also looked over in surprise, but they didn't think Guan Liang's words were unpleasant. Instead, they also found them incredible.

Who is Li Ye? He is a great man who doesn't even look down on a script worth 20,000! You say your writing is not as good as your master's?
Li Ye said calmly: "This is true. I am only good at writing novels, but novels are a different literary genre from reports. Those who can write novels may not be able to write reports, and those who can write reports may not be able to write good novels."

"Oh?"

Guan Liang looked at Li Ye, clasped his fists and asked with a smile: "Great writer, what do you mean? Explain it to us!"

Li Ye said calmly: "This is actually very simple. A report is a piece of information that people must understand at a glance, but a novel is a "story meeting" that emphasizes suspense and plot.

"I think everyone has read "Story Club"! If I write the summary report as a "Story Club", wouldn't it be a joke?"

"."

"Oh, so that's what happened! Li Ye explained it clearly, and I understood it right away." "That's right, I was also wondering just now, but he explained it clearly in one sentence. He is indeed a top student from Beijing University."

Everyone suddenly understood and understood Li Ye.

Guan Liang lowered his head and flipped through a few pages of the report, then nodded slowly.

This summary report is very standard, with straightforward and clear wording, and indeed it lacks any "artistic quality" at all.

In fact, Li Ye could also write the report, but he didn't want to take on too much work, so the report was written by his master Lao Ding and proofread and polished by Li Ye.

Guan Liang closed the report and said to Lu Zhizhang from the factory office: "Director Lu, the factory director wants to see this report, so I'll take it first!"

Lu Zhizhang smiled and said, "Just take it if you want! Why are you being so polite? In the end, it has to be shown to the factory director anyway."

Guan Liang smiled and walked out, but when he reached the door, he suddenly turned back and asked Li Ye: "Li Ye, there will be an industry product presentation the day after tomorrow, remember to go with me!"

Li Ye said calmly, "Our department hasn't received any notice, so I shouldn't go, right?"

Guan Liang chuckled and said, "I'll tell the factory manager, and you can just follow me."

Li Ye frowned slightly, but still refused: "This is not good! It's too much trouble for you."

But Guan Liang had already walked out the door, leaving a casual remark.

"It's no trouble. It's just a matter of one sentence."

"."

Li Ye's brows finally frowned.

In the eyes of others, Guan Liang's words seemed to be a great favor to Li Ye.

But does Li Ye need this favor?

In his previous life, Li Ye had heard people say that managers who started out as secretaries were either extremely shrewd or extremely arrogant.

They are smart because they follow those in higher positions, and have inherited their knowledge, perspective, and skills, which has helped them avoid many detours.

Arrogance is because they have been out of touch with the grassroots for too long, or have never been polished at the grassroots level, so they lack respect and understanding for the working people at the grassroots level.

The Guan Liang I just met looks smart, but he also feels arrogant and contradictory.

Moreover, the Light Automobile Company has three major shareholders, and Li Ye is the "invisible prince" of two of the major shareholders. But the "factory director" that Guan Liang mentioned is actually the general manager of the company at that time and the representative of the automobile manufacturing plant. Should Li Ye keep a distance from the other party?

At this time, Lu Zhizhang from the factory office smiled and said to Li Ye, "It's called a seminar, but it's actually an exhibition. It's a place for peers to exchange new products with each other. Our factory's 136 must be this year's star product. You also participated in the finalization of the 136, so it's reasonable for you to go and take a look."

"Well, it's good to learn from the experience."

Li Ye nodded calmly. When he joined the company, he knew that the company would give out 136 light trucks as a "year-end gift" this year, but he didn't expect that he would be able to participate.

[Should I be proud of it? ]
