That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 855 You’re not stupid at all!

Li Ye was driving to work. When he passed by the company bulletin board, he saw many people stopping there, and his master Lao Ding was among them.

In this case, there must be some news worth paying attention to. Li Ye decided to stop the car and take a look.

But before he even got there, he heard someone say with a smile, "Old Ding, your apprentice is here. Look, he drives a car to work. You've been promoted to section chief for several months, why are you still riding a broken bicycle? You should at least get a motorcycle!"

Old Ding smiled and said, "Not to mention that I am too old and my eyesight is blurry to ride a bicycle. Even if I could, I can't afford it! It costs thousands of dollars!"

"Can a few thousand dollars stump you, Chief Ding? Everyone knows that your supply department is a lucrative department."

"Hey, hey, hey, stop talking nonsense!" Old Ding immediately frowned and said, "I, Old Ding, have been in this company for decades. I have a clean record. If anyone wants to throw dirty water on me, don't blame me for getting angry."

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm just joking with you and you're so anxious. You can't help but be teased at your age."

"I'm teasing you, uncle"

"."

Li Ye looked at his master Lao Ding who had turned against him and didn't know how to describe it.

Is the Supply Department considered a grease and water department?
There must be some profit, after all, he is in charge of purchasing.

But it has only been a few months since Lao Ding was promoted from deputy section chief to full section chief, and he probably didn't get much benefit. After all, the deputy and full positions are completely different in terms of benefits.

"Alright, alright, stop making fun of my master. He's old. If he really spits at you, would you dare to fight back?"

"Yes, Deputy Director Li is right. If I dare to fight back, he will lie down."

Li Ye clenched his fist and shouted, "Get out of here right now! If you dare to talk nonsense and get angry again!"

"."

The group of young people immediately scattered like birds and beasts. Now, Li Ye's reputation for brutality is known to everyone in the Light Automobile Company. He can kick people's dirty water with one kick. In the end, after investigation, it turns out that it was his fault.

After everyone had left, Li Ye looked at the content on the bulletin board and discovered that his former colleague Zheng Jiemin had been promoted to deputy section chief of the supply and marketing department of the main factory.

Li Ye was a little surprised by this news, because in the first half of the year, Zheng Jiemin's attempt to join D was disrupted by Li Ye.
Zheng Jiemin was even accused of being a superstitious because he "performed magic" on Li Ye in the office. But who would have thought that it still couldn't stop his promotion.

[Well, mice have their own ways and cats have their own ways. No son-in-law party should be underestimated! ]

Li Ye smiled, pointed at the notice and asked, "Master, whose magical power did Zheng Jiemin borrow?"

Old Ding's mouth curled up, and he said cheerfully: "I recommended him, it can't be considered a supernatural power."

Li Ye was surprised and asked, "When did you recommend it?"

Old Ding said cheerfully, "Several months ago! It was after you held the procurement bidding."

"Sigh~"

Li Ye took a breath and asked in a low voice: "Master, did he give you a gift?"

"He's giving me shit!"

Lao Ding cursed with a smile, then lowered his voice and said, "You made such a big fuss in the first branch, shouldn't I, your master, learn from your experience?

I am old and worried that I will not be able to learn new things, so should I promote a young person to take on the important task? Zheng Jiemin happened to be ambitious, so I asked him to write an experience report, which was highly praised by the higher-ups.”

"."

Li Ye stared at Lao Ding for several seconds before he came to his senses.

A few months ago, he implemented a bidding system in a branch factory, and Master Ding immediately foresaw that the main factory might do the same, and immediately pushed Zheng Jiemin out. Since it was Zheng Jiemin who wrote the suggestion, if something went wrong, Master Ding's responsibility would be reduced a lot, right?
Well, that depends on how good the master is at passing the buck.

Li Ye looked around and saw that there was no one around. He suppressed his laughter and asked, "Master, do you think the plan for the main factory's procurement bidding is not going well?"

Old Ding curled his lips and said, "How can it be smooth? With the current chaotic situation, there are only a few people fetching water, but there are so many people drinking water. Sooner or later, everyone will die of thirst."

"."

After hearing the pessimistic words of his master Lao Ding, Li Ye felt helpless.

Today's light automobile companies are like an old ox in the drought season, working hard to find grass to eat and water to drink, but there are also a group of leeches sucking blood from it. When it is too weak to walk, it is all over.

Lao Ding cursed a few times, then said to Li Ye: "I think we'll have to call you to a coordination meeting in the next two days to ask you to share your experience. Don't take on any work."

Li Ye nodded and said, "I know. I'm already a factory employee, but I don't know much about the supply here!"

"Oh, it's a good thing that you are in the first branch factory, and it's a good thing that there is a first branch factory!"

Lao Ding has been working in the unit for decades and has insight into many things.

Li Ye’s branch factory is the hope of this decades-old factory, but at the same time, it is impossible for a branch factory to take on all the burdens, so some people will inevitably be ruthlessly crushed by the wheel of history.

. . . . . . . . . .

That afternoon, the factory held a coordination meeting. At the meeting, Zheng Jiemin was in high spirits and vowed that this major reform in procurement would bring an extremely bright future to the unit.

But when Li Ye looked around, he found that several people had sarcastic expressions on their faces.

It stands to reason that Zheng Jiemin's wife also came from a large factory, so doesn't she understand the ins and outs of this? Or does he think that if a branch factory can do it, he, Zheng Jiemin, can do it too?

However, after Li Ye observed the micro-expressions of Deputy Section Chief Wu Qingyi, he suddenly understood the reason.

Zheng Jiemin couldn't stand the loneliness anymore.

Lao Ding will retire in more than a year, so who will be his successor?

Logically speaking, it should be Wu Qingyi, who has the longest seniority, but didn’t Wu Qingyi have a minor flaw because of the bribery rumors at the Fangshan Parts Factory?
Then why couldn't Zheng Jiemin achieve a double jump within two years?

Li Ye made a two-step jump in less than a year. With such a good example, why can't Zheng Jiemin do the same? He has a good wife.

Zheng Jiemin spoke for twenty minutes in one breath, and at the end he said to Li Ye: "This bidding is very important, so the factory has arranged it, and it requires the full cooperation of all departments. Deputy Director Li, do you have any problems?"

"No problem," Li Ye said calmly, "The first branch has already allocated three months' dividends in advance. You can check with Chief Jiao."

Li Ye did allocate three months' dividends to the head office, but he could not guarantee how much would be used to support procurement reform in the end.

Zheng Jiemin nodded and said, "Then on the 28th, Deputy Director Li, please arrive at the bidding site early. You have experience in successfully holding bidding meetings, so we will rely on you to host them."

[You're not stupid after all! You still want me to take the blame? ]

Li Ye immediately said in surprise: "The 28th? That won't work. I have something important to do that day and I don't have time to come and help."

Zheng Jiemin was stunned, then said unhappily: "Deputy Director Li, this is an arrangement made by the factory. How can a personal matter be more important than the work in the factory?"

"Ha~"

Li Ye smiled and ignored Zheng Jiemin.

Even if Zheng Jiemin reported the matter to the factory director, Li Ye would have a reason.

The Hong Kong boss of my unit is getting his sister married and asked me to be the MC. Do you think it’s important or not?
