That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 773 Who is so blind as to dare to mess with you?

For a week in a row, Li Ye worked honestly in the supply department, and even though the rumors about him in the unit became more and more outrageous, he did not make any response.

This surprised many people, because Li Ye has always been arrogant and "full of talent". How could a man who can rub off the bark of a tree with one foot suffer such a loss?

Could the rumors be true?
At lunch that day, Xiao Zhu from the technical department came up to Li Ye in a hurry and said, "Li Ye, Li Ye, have you heard? Our company is going to set up a separate branch factory to try out the ISO management system standard!"

Li Ye ate slowly while saying, "I haven't heard of it! My ears are full of buzzing noises, just like a group of flies having a meeting. How can I hear anything about ISO?"

"Hey, you."

Xiao Zhu knew that Li Ye had been wronged these days, but he still explained in a low voice: "I heard that after the first branch is established, Guan Liang will be the director of the first branch!

He was promoted to section chief last year and is now deputy director this year. He has never been out of the workshop for a single day, so how can he understand technology and management? It really makes no sense."

Li Ye was stunned and asked doubtfully: "This matter should be discussed at the meeting, right? Don't talk nonsense about something that has not yet been seen."

"I'm not talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, go to the bulletin board and take a look," Xiao Zhu said indignantly, "Although it's not time to decide on the candidate, the commendation for Guan Liang has already been proposed.
Guan Liang had the foresight to translate foreign materials and made a major contribution to this major management reform. Isn't it obvious that he should be promoted?"

Li Ye said indifferently: "Promote me if you want! You draw your blueprints and I do my supply. What does it have to do with us?"

"I just can't stand it," Xiao Zhu said with a sour face, "He can't manage management, doesn't understand production, and a bootlicker can become the factory director?"

"."

Li Ye looked at Xiao Zhu who looked unconvinced and couldn't help laughing.

These words must have been instilled into Xiao Zhu by the old guys in the technical department. Otherwise, how could this kid, who had only been in the factory for a few years, have so much resentment?

Only those old guys who have done practical work all their lives, wanted to be promoted, but in the end did not get promoted, would have the courage to criticize "celebrity" like Guan Liang.

And the reason why he criticized Guan Liang in front of him was that someone had guessed something?
"Xiao Zhu! I also look down on flatterers, but I have to tell you a cruel truth. Flattering is a technical job, and the technical level is very high."

Li Ye also likes people who do practical things, and he also intends to be a practical person, but he does not look down on flatterers.

Flatterers are a very annoying type of people in the workplace, but they usually do well in the workplace.
Many straightforward people like Xiao Zhu would attribute the reason to the fact that flatterers provide a lot of emotional value to the leaders, but the truth is far from that simple.

A few auspicious words can lead to promotion? That's too much of an underestimation of those in power.

If the boss wants to carry out his will, he must have the cooperation and obedience of his subordinates, because he cannot do the work himself!

But whether the subordinates who do the work get 100 points or 60 points depends entirely on their personal abilities and the extent to which they implement the leader's wishes.

A scholar once said that the power granted to you by your superior is only effective when his subordinates are willing to implement it.

In other words, if subordinates have their own will, then their efforts in executing tasks assigned by their superiors will be compromised.

The reason why sycophants can be promoted faster in the workplace is that they completely abandon their personal will and only follow the leader's lead.

If the boss's words are right, they must be followed 100%. If the boss's words are wrong, they must be followed 100%.

Is this kind of person still a "flatterer" to the boss? He is clearly a loyal and obedient lackey!
For example, so many emperors were willing to use eunuchs because the emperor's orders were discounted at an extremely high rate in front of the Qingliu group. With 100 points of imperial power, you would be very lucky if you could only execute 30 points.

But what about the eunuchs and flatterers? At least give you 90 points for execution.

So, since ancient times, everyone knows that flatterers will be despised, but they still cannot be eradicated despite repeated bans.

When the boss makes a promise, he shouts that it is delicious; when the boss gives orders, he is the first to shout that he has received it; when the boss makes a mistake, he is the first to jump out and take the blame
Do you think it is surprising that such a person was promoted?
The second principle of promotion is the extension of rights, and Guan Liang fully meets the requirements.

As for whether his promotion is in the interests of the collective employees of the unit, that is another matter.

. . . . . . . . .

"Ling ring ring~"

"Hello? Who are you looking for? Li Ye?"

At around 3 or 4 in the afternoon, Li Ye was sitting on a chair killing time when he suddenly received a phone call.

Li Ye took the call and heard it was Liu Muhan.

Liu Muhan asked crisply: "Nephew, you called me a few days ago? What did you want to talk to me about?"

Li Ye said in a deep voice: "I do have something to do. Are you free this afternoon? Come to my house for dinner!"

"Going to your house for dinner?"

Liu Muhan was surprised and asked, "Why, you want to ask me to do something, but you are reluctant to treat me to a meal?"

Li Ye had no choice but to say, "Yes, I am stingy. I have to serve my wife dinner tonight. If you come, it will just be a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks."

"."

Liu Muhan was silent for a moment, then asked in a deep voice: "It seems that you really have something to talk to me about. What is it? Isn't it convenient to talk over the phone?" Li Ye whispered: "Well, it's not very convenient."

Liu Muhan immediately said: "Okay, I'll be there tonight, you can serve some delicious dishes!"

"No problem, it's delicious and filling."

. . . . . . . . . .

Before six o'clock in the evening, Liu Muhan really came to the door alone and brought a few gifts.

Li Ye was still busy in the kitchen, so Wen Leyu chatted with Liu Muhan.

Both of them were majoring in English, and later they both came into contact with foreign companies, so they had a lot of common topics to talk about.

However, Liu Muhan's eyes were always on Wen Leyu's belly. The more he looked, the more envious and greedy he became.

Wen Leyu was even more proud.

I have twin boys and girls, do you have twin boys and girls? You can't just have them if you want them!

After Li Ye finished his work and came to the table, Liu Muhan said, "I have to apologize to you first. I got you into trouble because of Zhang Rui's matter. I didn't know that he went to my father, and my father went to your grandfather."

Li Ye smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. What kind of friendship do my grandfather have with Grandpa Liu? I guess because of this incident, the two of them bickered and their relationship became even better!"

"You are right," Liu Muhan said with both anger and laughter, "My mother called me and said that your grandfather and my father had several quarrels a few days ago. They are so old and they are getting more and more addicted to quarreling."

"That's because there are fewer and fewer people who can quarrel with you!"

Li Ye felt a little emotional. He knew how happy it was to have a brother with whom he could quarrel at any time and who would not bear grudges after the quarrel.

Liu Muhan smiled and shook his head, then suddenly said, "By the way, my mother called me and told me something. She wants to buy a house in Beijing. Don't you have more experience? Can you give me some advice?"

Li Ye nodded and said, "What kind of house should I buy? A courtyard house?"

Liu Muhan's father is also a writer in the Writers Association, so he has a large amount of royalties. So Li Ye guessed that it was Li Zhongfa who chatted with him and inspired him.

Liu Muhan smiled and said, "Yes, it's the kind of house that will be worth tens of millions in the future."

Li Ye pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Then why does Grandpa Liu go far away? The reason why Siheyuan is valuable is that things are rare and valuable. The old single-family houses in Shanghai are also very good, and the appreciation potential is no worse than that of Siheyuan in Beijing!"

Liu Muhan restrained his smile and said seriously: "My parents are old, and my brother and I are both in Beijing. If they can move to Beijing, my brother and I can take care of them nearby."

Only then did Li Ye understand Liu Muhan's intention.

It can be said that Liu Muhan and Liu Muyang are both outliers, because these days very few people in Shanghai are willing to leave Shanghai on their own initiative.

It was publicly reported in newspapers in the early 1980s that some candidates from Shanghai were only willing to apply to universities in Shanghai when applying for college, and they would not even go to universities in Beijing, let alone get a job.

In the case of the Liu siblings, there must be ways to find jobs in Shanghai, but they both came to Beijing.

"Oh, I didn't think it through. I'll help you find a suitable yard right away."

Li Ye thought for a while and said, "I have a yard near the North Sea. If you have time these days, you can go over and take a look at it. If you like it, I'll sell it to you at a discount, and it will be considered as a gift to Grandpa Liu."

"Huh? Why are you so generous again?"

Liu Muhan pushed his glasses and suddenly smiled and said, "By the way, you said you wanted to talk to me about something, but you haven't told me what it is yet! It won't be difficult to handle, right?"

“It’s really a bit difficult!”

Li Ye looked at Liu Muhan, then at Wen Leyu, and explained the situation in detail.

"Do you still remember the man we met at the auto industry exhibition before the Spring Festival? I am ashamed that you are involved now."

This matter involves Liu Muhan, and it is indeed Li Ye's fault.

To be honest, if Grandpa Liu and Grandma Gao knew about this, they might even blame him!
My daughter is a pure and innocent person, how could she be involved in such dirty water for no reason? What if it affects her future marriage?

However, after listening to it, Liu Muhan did not get angry. Instead, he asked in surprise: "Who is so blind as to bully you?"

Li Ye smiled awkwardly and said, "You also said that he is blind. How can he be a big shot?"

Liu Muhan nodded: "Your nephew's affairs are my affairs, not to mention that this matter has offended me!
We have to come up with a foolproof plan and not let him off so easily."

"Yes, we can't let him go."

Wen Leyu also echoed, and then the two of them started to discuss.

Li Ye, the main character, had no say in the end because these two girls were so powerful!
