That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 834: Will you have a good chat?
"Old Lu, stop busying yourself, it's time to eat."

At 11:30 am, Li Ye took his lunch box to find Lu Zhizhang and asked him to go to the cafeteria to eat together.

This was a habit the two men formed when they first entered the factory. They always had to show up in front of the workers every day, so as not to be like those elusive managers who made the workers only have contact with middle-level cadres and completely forget that there were two down-to-earth and pragmatic factory directors.

However, after entering Lu Zhizhang's office, Li Ye found that he was talking on the phone with someone.

"Oh, 1:30 pm, right? Who will be there? Director Zhao, will you come? Okay, we'll be there on time."

Lu Zhizhang put down the phone and said to Li Ye, "The head office just notified us that there will be a meeting at 1:30 this afternoon. We will report on the reform of the ISO quality management system. People from the department will come to listen."

Li Ye was surprised and said, "There is a meeting to report at 1:30 pm, but you only informed us now? Who is trying to make things difficult for us again? Who arranged the reception today? I must ask him what he meant later."

For a meeting like this with people from the department, it is impossible to notify the parties involved only two hours in advance, so Li Ye concluded that someone was causing trouble.

Lu Zhizhang took out his lunch box, put his arm around Li Ye's shoulder and went out: "Hehe, if you are not envied by others, you are mediocre. Let's go, let's go. Who cares about monsters and ghosts? We will deal with them as they come. It's not worth it to bother yourself with those petty people."

Li Ye laughed coldly: "Oh, you are quite open-minded. Fortunately, we are practical people. It is no problem to report now. If those who can only read the manuscript write the manuscript, it will be too late!"

Li Ye was telling the truth. He and Lu Zhizhang had shed countless sweat for the branch and were familiar with all situations in the branch. If it were a leader who only knew how to drink tea, read newspapers and scold his subordinates, it would be an "extremely urgent" situation.

You need to read the script in advance, otherwise you will read it haltingly, or even the first page will be disconnected from the next page, and people will know at a glance that you are a fool.

. . . . . . . . .

At 1:10 p.m., Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang rushed from the first branch factory to the main factory meeting room. When they arrived at the factory director's building, a Honda sedan passed by them quickly, honking its horn.

"Drip drop~"

"Damn, who is this? Is he rushing to attend a funeral?"

Lu Zhizhang was already a middle-aged man over forty years old. His legs were not as nimble as Li Ye's. He almost sprained his ankle while dodging and immediately couldn't help cursing.

After all, he is a high-ranking figure in the light automobile company. Which driver would dare to joke with him like this?

What? After I went to the first factory, you forgot about my methods, Director Lu?

However, when the small Honda stopped under the factory director's building, the driver who got out surprised Lu Zhizhang very much.

It turned out to be Guan Liang who was forced to resign by Li Ye.

After Guan Liang got off the car, he said to Lu Zhizhang as if jokingly: "Director Lu, your legs are obviously not working! I remember when we played basketball together, you were the most flexible shooting guard!"

Lu Zhizhang also said with a fake smile: "Ah, Xiaoguan, you have a good memory. It has been almost ten years. The sapling has grown up. Isn't I old now?"

Guan Liang originally started working in Lu Zhizhang's factory office, so he used to be Lu Zhizhang's soldier. But later he caught the eye of the factory director and was chosen to be his secretary. So there was some sarcasm in Lu Zhizhang's words.

"Hahahaha, Director Lu, I was just joking. You are not an old hand. You are not old at all."

"You are old, you are not as bold as the young ones! Look, look, Li Ye dares to sell a script for 20,000. You, Guan Liang, are not bad either! You even have a private car! Wow, it's an imported one!"

While Lu Zhizhang was exchanging witty remarks with Guan Liang, he circled the Honda sedan twice, as if to say that both Lu Zhizhang and Li Ye were young and promising.

But in fact, he was satirizing Guan Liang. Guan Liang opened a trading company, and it was common knowledge that he sucked blood from the Light Automobile Company like a leech.

So Li Ye's royalties are clearly verifiable. Is your money, Guan Liang's, clean?
But Guan Liang seemed to be unable to hear the hidden meaning of Lu Zhizhang's words, and he showed off the Honda car: "My car is different from Deputy Director Li's car. Mine is the latest model of Honda Kimi, the most advanced sports car in the world today."

"."

Li Ye couldn't help but curl his lips when listening to Guan Liang's proud explanation.

It’s just a third-generation Civic. Just because it’s a hatchback, it’s considered a “sports car”?

And Li Ye found it even funnier when he saw Guan Liang showing off and glancing left and right at Li Ye.

Spending more than 300,000 yuan to buy a thin-skinned car weighing more than 800 kilograms is really a big rip-off!

But Guan Liang saw Li Ye was smiling, and took the initiative to greet him: "Deputy Director Li, I heard that you went overseas for inspection. Do you know the Ximei sedan?"

Li Ye raised his eyebrows and glanced at Guan Liang, then smiled and approached him: "I know, Ximei is the name across the strait. Its English name is CIVIC. It has developed to the fourth generation this year. It is very popular among ordinary civilian families overseas because it is relatively cheap." "

Guan Liang was speechless.

Can you have a good chat?

But Guan Liang didn’t think about it. He had falsely accused Li Ye with a photo, and now he was shamelessly talking to Li Ye. Then would Li Ye be so “magnanimous” as to have a good chat with him?

You think too much. It's fine if Li Ye ignores you, but if he really starts to pay attention to you, you will regret it.

Li Ye looked around the Civic, then frowned and said, "Your car must be the old third-generation Civic! The fourth-generation Civic that just came on the market this year is a compact car, not a micro car!"

"."

Guan Liang smacked his lips, swallowed his saliva, and was about to ignore Li Ye and turn around to leave.

Because there were already people around to watch the fun, his Japanese car was very eye-catching, and his feud with Li Ye was even more gossipy.

But Lu Zhizhang asked Li Ye like a "curious baby": "Microcar? Compact car? Li Ye, what do you mean by these?"

Li Ye said: "This is the overseas classification of cars. From small to large, there are micro cars, compact cars, mid-size cars, large and medium-sized cars, and large cars.

The bigger the car, the more expensive it is and the more fuel-efficient it is. For example, the Santana we put into production in Shanghai is a mid-size sedan, two levels larger than the Ximei and more fuel-efficient than it. "

"Oh~~"

There was a sound of "I understand" all around.

When it comes to sedans, the Chinese have always believed that the bigger the better. The third-generation Civic weighs only 830 kilograms, which is lighter than the Fit. How can it compete with the Santana? Who does it think it is?
"But the third generation Ximei has an SI version, which is much more expensive than Santana."

Li Ye was a good man who liked to share science with everyone. Seeing that more than a dozen cadres had gathered around for the meeting, he opened the hood of the Civic. Guan Liang couldn't stop him.

"The SI version of the Ximei is equipped with a 1.6L ZC series inline four-cylinder engine. It is said that it uses some of the technology from Honda's F1 racing car. There is a saying overseas that the SI version of the Ximei is a real civilian sports car."

Li Ye deliberately said "Huh", attracting more than a dozen people to the engine, and then said regretfully: "This is not the SI version. You see, the regular version of the Ximei is equipped with 1.3 and 1.5 liter engines, and the SI is equipped with 1.6 liters."

"If you spend more than 300,000 yuan to buy an SI version of the Ximei, it's still quite cost-effective. The regular version... is a bit not worth it."

"."

"Oh, it really is 1.5, smaller than the one on Santana!"

"Not only is the engine smaller, but it's also more cramped inside. Look at the back seat. I can't even stretch my legs if I sit in it."

"Why don't you sit in and try it?"

"That's not good! This is Guan Liang's new car."

"Why is it bad? Guan Liang used to be our colleague, and now he is working in our factory for a living. Why is it bad?"

A group of people were like children visiting the park, getting in and out of Guan Liang's new car, touching this and that, and complaining about it, such as "petty-minded" and "a loss of three hundred thousand".

I can't afford it, but others have spent money on it. Isn't this something worth celebrating?

Guan Liang's face turned blue.

He knew these people's psychology too well. They just said the grapes were sour because they couldn't eat them.

But if it weren't for this guy Li Ye taking the lead in causing trouble, who would dare to say that a 300,000 yuan imported car is not sweet?

Once one person says something offensive, others will add fuel to the fire.

"Li Ye, why do you know all this? Since the fourth generation of Ximei was just released this year, how do you know that this is not the fourth generation?"
