Chapter 1475 You Are Not the Only Pillar of the Family

Chapter 1475 You Are Not the Only Pillar of the Family

Four years later, Li Ye went to School D for further studies again, but the feeling was very different from last time.

The last time Li Ye went to D School to study, he was only at the department level, but the Li family attached great importance to it. His grandfather, grandmother, and mother all came to Li Ye and gave him instructions, telling him what precautions to keep in mind after arriving at D School.

But this time, Li Ye was at the department level and was attending a "reserve cadre training class." The importance of the class had increased many times, but none of them said anything, which made Li Ye very uncomfortable.

So, while Li Ye was eating, he said jokingly, "I'm going to register at D School tomorrow and will be there for two weeks! Grandpa and grandma, don't you have any instructions for me? Mom, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Grandma Wu Juying picked up two pieces of food for Li Ye and said with a smile, "Our Li family has never produced a person of your level. Who do you think is qualified to lecture you?"

The Li family used to have the highest rank under Li Zhongfa. He was a deputy director and was given a regular position in the county bureau. This made him a well-known figure in Qingshui County.

Although Li Ye's department-level rank is nothing in Beijing where department-level officials are everywhere, he is still half a level higher than Li Zhongfa. Moreover, after further studies at D School, the door to further progress has been opened, and his future achievements will definitely far exceed Li Zhongfa.

So Wu Juying's words contained seven parts of pride and three parts of flattery.

Well, it’s also an achievement for a grandmother to praise her grandson!

Li Zhongfa also smiled and drank half a glass of wine. He said with great satisfaction, "The last time you went to D School, you were still a rookie. In the army, you would be a platoon leader who had just graduated from cadre school. We naturally wanted to pass on our experience to you, but now you've become a battalion commander. What else do we need to teach you?"

"Your grandmother and I have been admonishing you for twenty years. You must be tired of it if I keep admonishing you. You have to walk your own path from now on!"

Li Ye chuckled and said, "Not really, right? I still think that having an old person in the family is like having a treasure."

Fu Guiru glanced at Li Ye and said disdainfully, "Are you trying to say you haven't grown up yet? You're over thirty and still think you're a child?"

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that he was already a standard "middle-aged man" in this era.

Decades later, when a man reaches the age of 30, he still has the nerve to call himself a "boy" or even a "baby", and he can accept it with peace of mind when others call him a handsome guy.

But in the 1980s and 1990s, a man in his thirties had to be a capable man who could support his family. He had to be able to take on responsibilities, make decisions, and treat himself as an "uncle".

Li Ye sighed softly and said with emotion: "Mom, you are right. I have already reached my thirties without realizing it. I am so ashamed."

Wu Juying loved her grandson so much that she glanced at Fu Guiru with some dissatisfaction and said, "What are you ashamed of? If you were ashamed, how could others survive?"

Fu Guiru rolled her eyes at her mother-in-law and raised her glass to Li Ye: "Don't be ashamed, cheer up and go to the advanced training class to get first place again."

Wen Leyu also raised his glass: "Come on, come on, I wish our head of the household a smooth and successful further study."

“.”

All right! Three generations indeed have three different perspectives.

Grandpa and grandma are old, and they must be very comforted to have a grandson like Li Ye.

However, his mother, who used to be a militia company commander, felt that Li Ye should continue to work hard and must continue to be encouraged in order to achieve great things.

Wen Leyu still has the mindset of "husband, it's up to you, please do as you please." As his wife, she will support Li Ye no matter whether he works hard or is lazy.

Anyway, Li Ye is not the only pillar of the family. Wen Leyu is also a good fighter, okay?

. . . . . . . . . .

On Monday, Qu Qingyou and Jiang Shiqi sent Li Ye to School D.

On the way there, Li Ye instructed the two of them on a few things.

"I'm going to be training for two weeks. Something's bound to happen in the group. Don't make a fuss. If you have any problems, just discuss it with Zhou Ziqing. But you should pay more attention to Lao Kang."

Jiang Shiqi said, "Don't worry, uncle. Lao Kang has saved enough money to move. There are several of our families in the community he bought. We gave him a car and two brothers to ensure his safety inside and outside."

"Okay, I trust you guys to do the job."

Jiang Shiqi and Qu Qingyou had both experienced chaotic environments in Su'e, so putting them in charge of Kang Zhizhong's safety was indeed a good match for their profession.

This time, the D school for further study was in a different place from the last time. When Li Ye arrived, he found that there were many cars coming to pick people up, and some of them were high-end cars like Audi 100.

[Power is truly fascinating!]

Think about the last time Li Ye went to study, most people rode bicycles or took cars, but Li Ye also took the bus to keep a low profile.

This time, it is a training class for department-level talents. Almost all the students who come here for training have certain powers and have their own drivers and special cars. Perhaps this is the motivation for everyone's "struggle"!

Li Ye went in to register and was assigned a dormitory. After everything was done, another classmate from the same dormitory also arrived.

The man's surname is Duan, and his name is Duan Jiajun. He is about forty years old and he smiles naturally when he speaks.

The two chatted for a while, and Duan Jiajun said with a smile: "Let's go, little brother Li Ye, it's time for dinner, let's go to the cafeteria together to satisfy our hunger!"

Li Ye also smiled and said, "Now that you mention it, I'm really hungry. I wonder what the food in the cafeteria is like."

Duan Jiajun said: "As long as it's not deliberately making us recall the good times, it will definitely not be worse than the school cafeteria."

“Hahahaha~”

After just a few minutes of contact, Li Ye felt a strong affinity from Duan Jiajun, who was obviously very skilled in interpersonal communication.

In other words, people who have reached this level can get along happily with each other as long as there is no conflict of interest, and there will basically be no one who deliberately puts on airs with a sullen face.

Even someone like Shang Bin, who had a deep grudge against Li Ye, would laugh and joke when they met, and if you didn't know him well, you wouldn't be able to tell that he had any ill intentions.

After all, everyone has climbed up step by step from the lowest level. Even a reckless person like Li Ye who relies on resources to "defeat others with force" has learned to hide his edge tactfully.

This is just as Grandpa Li Zhongfa said.

When he first took the position of platoon leader, the pride of a new official would make you feel high-spirited, but after he was beaten up a few times by a group of old soldiers under his command, he gradually learned to be patient and to be respectful.

This is also the result of Li Zhongfa's subordinates being capable and able to intimidate everyone with their fighting power.

Don't think that it's easy to manage a row of thirty or fifty people. Nine out of ten people who have no management experience will fail.

This class wants to compete for the top spot, and that class wants to be recognized as advanced. If you don't learn to deal with it tactfully and just use brutal and high pressure, do you want them to shoot you in the back on the battlefield?

Even in peacetime, how many managers have been brought down by their enraged subordinates?
