That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 876: Just a Mantis Trying to Stop a Car
Beijing, international airport.

Li Ye looked at his watch. It was very close to boarding time, but the inspection team going to Riben had not yet arrived.

Li Ye didn't know the latecomer. It was said that he was a technical authority "invited" from the department after the head factory communicated with the department.

It's funny to say that everyone went to Japan to test whether the imported mini car technology was not advanced and whether it was suitable for the industrial environment in the mainland.
As a result, none of the technicians in the factory's technical department were selected for the inspection team, and not even the chief of the technical department was qualified. Instead, a large number of senior technical authorities jumped forward to contribute their remaining energy.

Originally, Li Ye wanted to take Xiao Zhu from the technical department to see the world. After all, Xiao Zhu is quite talented in technology. But unfortunately, Li Ye was squeezed out of the inspection team. As for the others, they should be more humble!

However, as time got later, Li Ye's brows furrowed slightly.

No matter how high your rank is, you can't be more arrogant than Ma Zhaoxian, right? Ma Zhaoxian is the person in charge of this project, and he arrived early. How could you, an authority you invited, make everyone wait for you?
Li Ye turned his head and whispered to Lu Zhizhang: "Old Lu, does that old Gu have some unknown background? He is so arrogant! Don't let him take advantage of his seniority and make it difficult for us to serve him?"

Lu Zhizhang also whispered, "It's certain that he's difficult to serve, otherwise Xiao Jingang and the others wouldn't have invited him. But no matter how arrogant he is, he's already a second-tier player. As long as Deputy Manager Ma doesn't give him face, we don't have to give him face."

Li Ye glanced at Ma Zhaoxian who was looking gloomy not far away, nodded and smiled, "Okay, I'm just a small shrimp, if there's any trouble, I'll have someone taller to take care of it."

Lu Zhizhang also smiled, but he didn't feel as relaxed as Li Ye. Ma Zhaoxian was the taller one between him and Li Ye, and he was the taller one between Li Ye.

When there is an opportunity, he will be promoted before Li Ye, because corporate organizations value "qualifications", and Li Ye's age and experience are shortcomings that cannot be solved for the time being.

But if the sky collapses one day, Lu Zhizhang will consciously help Li Ye to hold it up first.

At 9:30, Mr. Gu finally arrived.

The old man, who was almost sixty years old, was indeed very impressive. He brought with him a secretary named Zhong. He didn't talk much, but he had a kind of intimidating aura.

After the two arrived, they exchanged simple pleasantries, and then Secretary Zhong smiled and explained, "Mr. Gu specially called his Japanese friend this morning to inquire about our situation, so he was delayed for some time. Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."

Ma Zhaoxian smiled and said, "It's okay for us to wait a while, as long as we don't delay boarding."

Ma Zhaoxian's words sounded like a polite remark, but Gu Lao's eyebrows immediately raised.

According to what he meant, shouldn't Ma Zhaoxian have said something nice like "Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Gu"? Why did he also say "It's okay for us to wait a while?"

So Mr. Gu said in a deep voice: "Xiao Ma, there are some things I didn't want to say, but now I feel it is necessary to explain to you. This introduction project has always been controversial, otherwise Beijing Automotive and Motorcycle would not have regretted it halfway.
Since the department asked me to help you check, I must do my best. I have already asked my Japanese friends, and the mini truck is based on technology from five years ago. A new model was introduced last year.

Now we are spending five million US dollars of precious foreign exchange to buy a mediocre and backward technology, which is really not worth it."

"."

Ma Zhaoxian had a smile on his face just now, but now his expression became gloomy.

He was not unhappy because the other party called him "Xiao Ma". Although they were not familiar with each other, you are indeed older, so I don't mind if you call me Xiao Ma.

But we haven't even come to the site to see it yet! You're saying this inspection project is "not worth it"? You're really here to mess things up, you old idiot.

You know, this introduced project is Ma Zhaoxian's ladder to success. You are almost sixty years old. Can you please stop interfering with other people's opportunities for advancement?
Just at this moment, Liu Muhan and her other colleague came over and started to lecture her rudely.

"All the leaders are here! Let's get ready to board the plane. We are taking a Japan Airlines flight this time, so from the moment we board the plane, we have already stepped into the territory of another country, so everyone must abide by the foreign affairs discipline. Here I would like to emphasize a few points of attention."

"First, please remember the agreed meeting time and place, and do not be late or get separated, because you are unfamiliar with the place and it will be very troublesome if you get separated."

"Secondly, we have already reached the stage of discussing the quotation for this project, so whether it is worthwhile or not can only be reflected in the price."

"."

Liu Muhan talked a lot, which made Gu Lao, Xiao Jingang and others very angry.

You, a little girl, are actually placing restrictions on several senior people who are older than your father. Are you rebelling against me?
Xiao Jingang, in particular, looked at Liu Muhan with a very sharp and hateful look.

Because when Guan Liang was brought down, Liu Muhan played a huge role, and also affected the fate of many people, including Deputy Director Xiao Jingang.

At the beginning, Xiao Jingang cooperated with Guan Liang to deal with Li Ye, but was killed by Li Ye in the end.

Although Guan Liang's resignation saved Xiao Jingang from any overt punishment, his name left a mark in the minds of the department's leaders.
People always say that no matter how good you are, your leader may not remember them, but if there is one bad thing about you, your leader will never forget it until he dies.

Originally, Xiao Jingang had a great chance of making further progress in the past two years, but now it is basically impossible, so he hated Li Ye to death and stood on the side of the factory director and opposed Li Ye's faction.

So when Xiao Jin saw Liu Muhan "using chicken feathers as a token of authority," he couldn't help but say, "Chief Liu, please pay attention. Mr. Gu is the most outstanding expert in the field of automobiles in our country.
In principle, the introduction of this project should also be based on Mr. Gu’s opinion.”

As soon as Xiao Jingang finished speaking, Li Ye and others' faces darkened. Although they knew that the main factory would hinder the introduction of this project, Xiao Jingang, you take yourself too seriously.

If we take his opinion as the basis, what are we going to do? You should just let him have the final say.

Ma Zhaoxian smiled coldly.

The department did not send anyone to introduce this project. You invited a technical authority to be a consultant. Do you really think you are a big shot? Do you really think I am too shallow to turn against you?
But before Ma Zhaoxian could sneer and retort, an unexpected person stood up.

Professor Zhao, who had been sitting far away, walked over slowly and asked sarcastically, "Who is the expert on cars? Gu Jianqi?"

"."

Old Gu turned his head suddenly and stared at Professor Zhao's face for a long time before he said gloomily, "I don't dare to be an expert. I just know a little bit."

"."

Secretary Zhong saw that something was not right, and immediately said to Liu Muhan with a smile: "Chief Liu, it's getting late. Should we check all the details and prepare to board the plane?"

"Yes, yes, everyone, please check your documents and valuables. We will be boarding the plane soon."

After a flurry of activity, everyone finally managed to rescue Mr. Gu.

Li Ye smiled and moved closer to Professor Zhao, and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Zhao, do you have a grudge against each other?"

Professor Zhao narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Back then, I was a teacher and he was an administrative staff. We were all very good at criticizing others, but as for professional skills, he was very successful in his career. I can't compare with him, I can't compare with him!"

"."

. . . . . . . . .

"The plane is about to land, please fasten your seat belts."

The sweet voice of the stewardess passed by Li Ye's ears, and he had to admit that Xiao Rizi's service was indeed very good. The stewardess was selected very carefully, and her voice was almost as good as that of a voice actor.

Li Ye opened his eyes and fastened his seat belt.

Seeing Li Ye wake up, Liu Muhan smiled and asked, "You're awake? You didn't sleep well! I can tell from your breathing that you didn't sleep well."

Li Ye was very surprised. He thought he was the only one who could hear the breathing of the person next to him, but he didn't expect that Liu Muhan could also hear it.

Liu Muhan smiled and said, "When I was a child, I often pestered my father to tell me stories. When he got really impatient, he would pretend to sleep. So I developed the habit of observing other people's breathing."

[Why don't you just say that I was pretending to sleep like your father? ]

Li Ye did take a nap for two hours on the plane, not because he was very sleepy, but because Liu Muhan sat next to him as soon as he got on the plane and talked to him from time to time.

Aunt Liu's chatting skills are very good. She led Li Ye astray without him realizing it and accidentally let him find out Li Ye's secrets.

And when boarding the plane at the Capital Airport today, Xiao Jingang looked at Liu Muhan with hatred in his eyes.

After getting on the plane, when he saw Li Ye and Liu Muhan sitting together again, his eyes came alive, as if he had determined that Li Ye had an improper relationship with Liu Muhan.

Although Li Ye was too lazy to deal with such troublemakers, he also didn't want to give them the opportunity to spread rumors and cause trouble, so he simply pretended to sleep.

Seeing Li Ye's surprised look, Liu Muhan said proudly: "How is it? My guess is correct, right?"

Li Ye frowned and said seriously: "You should focus more on the business. The project introduction this time is very important. Don't let it fail at the last minute."

Liu Muhan waved his hand and said lightly: "No, no one can stop the implementation of this project. Some people can't see clearly and are just trying to stop a chariot with their arms."

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Whose car are you blocking?"

Liu Muhan glanced at Li Ye and said with a smile, "Can you block my car? After this project is negotiated, I should be promoted to the next level."

Li Ye suddenly realized that Liu Muhan's promotion speed was not slower than his. He just graduated one year earlier than Li Ye and had already stepped half a foot into the threshold of deputy director.

However, Liu Muhan has already determined that it is a case of a mantis trying to stop a chariot. How could someone as successful in his career as Gu Lao not see it clearly?
