Chapter 937 No One Wants to Step Out of Their Comfort Zone

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Li Ye went to work according to the shift schedule.

After arriving at the deserted branch factory, Li Ye first walked around the factory with Lu Zhizhang, who was on night shift, as a shift handover, and then returned to the office, lying on a recliner with his eyes closed to ensure that he had enough energy for the night.

Thieves and vandals don't have the courage to show up in broad daylight, so just let the patrol team keep patrolling. Only at night is when Li Ye needs to be alert.

Because it is an automobile company, a lot of fuel and lubricants are stored in one branch. If anything goes wrong, he might be fired as the factory director.

However, after Li Ye closed his eyes for a while, he opened his eyes and saw that it was only half past ten in the morning.

"Oh, I should have brought two books."

In the days without mobile phones, time was really hard to bear. Even if Li Ye had a computer on his desk, there was not even a minesweeper game! Not to mention playable games like "Half-Life" and "Prince of Persia". Apart from work, it was just a decoration.

However, Li Ye was just getting bored when he heard footsteps in the corridor outside.

He examined it carefully and frowned slightly.

Li Ye had very good hearing. As long as it was someone he was familiar with, he could probably tell who the person was from the sound of their footsteps. Now he heard the voice outside, it sounded very much like Yue Lingshan from the supply department of the main factory.

Sure enough, after the knock on the door, Yue Lingshan asked from outside: "Director Li, are you there?"

Li Ye sat down on the office chair and said gently, "I'm here! Come in!"

Yue Lingshan pushed open the door and walked in with a smile: "Happy New Year, Director Li! It turns out that you are on duty today. I also happen to be on duty at the main factory, so I came to wish you a happy new year."

"Oh, Happy New Year, sit down, don't stand."

Li Ye asked Yue Lingshan to sit down while asking, "How should we arrange your shift? Aren't all the management on duty?"

Li Ye's words were not meant to dislike Yue Lingshan's low rank. The main units had to take responsibility for holiday duty. What was the point of letting a soldier take the responsibility? If something went wrong, he wouldn't be able to handle it!

Yue Lingshan said bitterly: "Director Li, please don't say anything. Ever since you were transferred from the Supply and Marketing Department to the First Branch, I have been inexplicably targeted.

Just like the Spring Festival shifts, there are so many people in our office building, and after so many shifts, I was the one scheduled to work."

Li Ye laughed and did not sympathize with Yue Lingshan.

A fence-sitter can sometimes reap all the benefits, but at other times, he will be disliked by everyone.

When Li Ye first came, Yue Lingshan followed the footsteps of Deputy Section Chief Wu Qingyi and was very resistant to Li Ye. Later, Li Ye was promoted to Deputy Section Chief, and Master Lao Ding took over the position of Section Chief. Yue Lingshan quickly moved towards Li Ye again.

Originally! It was a common phenomenon in the unit to follow the red and cover the white, and Li Ye didn't mind it too much. But when Li Ye was transferred from the main factory to the first branch, he asked Yue Lingshan if she was willing to follow him to the first branch, and Yue Lingshan refused.

She might have been thinking that now that Li Ye, the deputy section chief, had left, her chance would come again. However, she never expected that Zheng Jiemin, who had been punished by Li Ye, was promoted to deputy section chief, and she was left with nothing again.

On the contrary, Pan Dachuan, who followed Li Ye to the first branch factory, went from being a small-time pawn to the head of the supply department of the first branch factory.

So now that Yue Lingshan came to wish Li Ye a happy new year, it was very likely that she was coming to "join" Li Ye again.

But can this kind of surrender, which is always one step behind others, be effective?

Yue Lingshan suddenly took out two lunch boxes from her bag and placed them on Li Ye's table with a wry smile.

"Director Li, you are on duty today. Is it difficult to get lunch? The food in the cafeteria is not tasty. I just happened to cook too much this morning."

[Is this real food, or is there something else going on? ]

Li Ye quickly declined, "No, no, you can eat it yourself!"

The smile on Yue Lingshan's face froze, and she said aggrievedly: "Director Li, I know you don't accept gifts, so I only made two dishes. Please don't despise me."

Li Ye was a little overwhelmed. Today was a holiday for the company and there were only a few people in such a large factory. If a man and a woman alone shed tears, wouldn't it become a hot topic for all the workers in the factory if it got out?

So Li Ye took one lunch box, pushed the other one back, and said bluntly: "I appreciate your kindness. You know me. Just tell me what you want to say."

Yue Lingshan didn't hesitate any longer and said directly: "Director Li, I have seen the technical talent introduction standards of the first branch factory, so please transfer me here! I am willing to start as a clerk and will do my best."

"The standard for introducing technical talents?" Li Ye asked in surprise: "That standard is for college students. Aren't you a technical secondary school student?"

Yue Lingshan nodded and said, "I know! I enrolled in night school last year and will graduate next year, which fully meets the requirements of the first branch."

"."

Li Ye smiled helplessly and said, "You probably didn't see it clearly. We require original academic qualifications."

The introduction of technical talents for the first branch factory not only provides jobs, but also houses. Therefore, in the 1980s, when technical secondary school students were considered high-level intellectuals, Li Ye insisted on setting the standard to junior college, and also excluded night colleges and TV universities. However, Yue Lingshan said aggrievedly: "Director Li, nothing is absolute in the world! The country recognizes the academic qualifications of night colleges, so why doesn't our factory recognize it? The first branch factory is also a state-owned unit."

"."

Li Ye waved his hand to stop Yue Lingshan's explanation, and then said calmly: "Next year, the first branch will definitely recruit more employees, but the standard for introducing technical talents will not change.
If you want to come, just wait patiently for the announcement, but I can tell you that you may not work in an office after you come, you may start from a position such as workshop statistics. "

"Go to the workshop"

Yue Lingshan's face was twisted.

She has become accustomed to the leisurely work in the office. If she were to work in a workshop filled with the smell of engine oil and clanging noises, the psychological gap would be unbearable.

As for the high salary in the first branch, Yue Lingshan did not think it was a big advantage.

After all, she was a cadre in the supply and marketing department of the main factory, holding the lifelines of several supply units in her hands, so she had some hidden income. If she went to a branch factory, she would not only not be able to get a house, but would also have to work in the workshop, which seemed not very cost-effective.

At this moment, a chaotic and brisk sound of footsteps was heard in the corridor, and Fu Yiru, Li Juan, Li Ying, and Zhao Meiwen pushed the door and walked in laughing.

"Brother, we brought you food."

After the four younger sisters came in, they saw Yue Lingshan and the lunch box on the table.

The four sisters' eyes were immediately filled with gossip. In this day and age, what kind of relationship did it have for a woman to deliver food to a man?
Fu Yiruo looked at Yue Lingshan and said with a smile: "Brother, I hope it won't delay your work. It was my sister-in-law who urged us to deliver the meal, otherwise we wouldn't have come so early."

Li Ye rolled his eyes at her and said, "It's okay. My colleague came to visit us for the New Year. We didn't talk about work."

"Oh~, then this sister is here just in time, let's eat together!"

Little Li Ying played a long tune, then opened the food box in her hand and placed the food on the table one by one.

Yue Lingshan looked at the four delicious dishes and one soup on the table, and then thought about the stir-fried pork with dried bamboo shoots in her lunch box. She suddenly found herself very funny.

"No, no, I have to go back to work! Hehe, I won't bother you anymore."

Li Ye is well-known for not accepting gifts, because he is not short of money and cannot afford the gifts from others.

I finally came up with the idea of ​​delivering lunch, but ended up being met with such a comparison.

But Yue Lingshan didn't expect that the fact that Li Ye accepted a lunch box from her actually meant that he had more friendship with her than others.

Unfortunately, people who are in their comfort zone are always unwilling to endure hardships, and thus lose better opportunities.

After Yue Lingshan left, several sisters started chattering and asking Li Ye what was going on.

"Our first branch has better performance, and she wants to transfer here to work, but there is no suitable position. I guess it will be nothing."

"What do you mean by again? Can you tell us in detail?"

"What are you talking about? I'm eating! You guys can play for a while."

"What fun things do you have here? Hey, this computer is pretty good, let's play with it!"

"Hey, hey, hey, let Xiaojuan help you keep an eye on it! Don't poke around."

“I know, I know.”

Several sisters let Li Ye go and started to chatter around the computer.

However, before Li Ye finished his meal, the sound of high heels was heard in the corridor outside.

Several sisters immediately asked, "Brother, could it be that that woman is back again?"

Li Ye shook his head slightly.

The footsteps outside were not from Yue Lingshan, and they were not familiar enough to tell who it was.

However, when the other party walked straight to the door of Li Ye's office, knocked on the door and came in, Li Ye unexpectedly found that he was not a stranger.

Li Ying pointed at the other person in surprise and said, "Hey, you are Ning Pingping from the Fenghua clothing advertisement, right?"

Ning Pingping smiled and turned to look at Li Ye: "Student Li, long time no see!"

"long time no see!"

Li Ye looked at Ning Pingping, whose temperament was obviously different from two years ago, and wondered in his heart, what the hell are you doing here?
