Chapter 146 I am the Deputy Manager
Li Ye ran along the bank of Weiming Lake, with several little followers following him.
Sun Xianjin was panting heavily, gasping for breath like a broken bellows. His legs were so limp that he could not move, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted, following Li Ye without letting up.
Several other people in the class, including Zhen Rongrong, Chen Xiaoling, Pu Xianghe and others, were even worse than Sun Xianjin and were following behind at a farther distance.
Li Ye reluctantly slowed down his pace and said, "Can you please stop following me? Didn't the head teacher say that day? Our most important task now is to study."
Sun Xianjin shook his head and panted as he said, "I think health is also important. The girls in our high school class all like the sports committee member. Now the girls in the class all like you, Li Ye."
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Li Ye glanced at Zhen Rongrong and others who followed behind him, and couldn't help but glared at Sun Xianjin.
Rumors are very serious in this era. Once they spread, whether true or false, they can easily affect a person's reputation.
Li Ye simply stopped and waited for Zhen Rongrong and others to catch up.
"Class monitor, do you know why the homeroom teacher didn't take the initiative to spread the news of my heroic deeds?"
"I asked Teacher Mu because I didn't understand it at the time. Later, Teacher Mu said that he didn't want to mislead students into making unsafe decisions when they encounter similar incidents."
Li Ye was quite surprised, because he didn't expect Zhen Rongrong to take the initiative to ask Mu Yuning.
In fact, the reason why this "heroic act" was not over-publicized was that Li Ye strongly suggested it to Teacher Ke at the dinner party at the Wen family a few days ago.
Because in the late 1982 and early 1983, there were more and more idle people in society and street fights were too common.
If we encourage students to "do what is right" at this time, it may end up harming others.
Because in a chaotic situation, students who do not have fighting skills are actually very vulnerable.
A student from Peking University is a highly intelligent talent selected by the country from tens of thousands of people. There are too many academic problems waiting for them to overcome and solve. Do you want them to fight with thugs?
Therefore, many dangerous situations need to be avoided as much as possible.
When Li Ye strongly proposed this suggestion, Wen Leyu was also very surprised.
It's not like she didn't understand that if this matter was promoted effectively, Li Ye's admission to D might even start going through the process.
But when Li Ye stated his reasons, Wen Leyu naturally smiled, and Teacher Ke also took the initiative to offer a glass of wine, and the matter was settled.
Zhen Rongrong finally caught her breath and said to Li Ye, "We understand the concerns of our homeroom teacher.
But what if we encounter the same situation you had a few days ago? Should we just ignore it? Shouldn't we stop it? "
Li Ye looked at Zhen Rongrong and several other classmates, and was deeply touched by their sense of "justice and responsibility."
This kind of temperament is basically considered a "hidden attribute" in children of later generations.
Because almost all parents will teach their children to "stay away from danger", it is really difficult to tell what is right and what is wrong.
"Okay! Let me teach you the correct way to deal with danger."
Li Ye pointed at Zhen Rongrong's legs and then at her mouth, which made her very uncomfortable.
Whenever He Dazhuang approached Zhen Rongrong, he always looked at her legs.
Li Ye said: "If you encounter bad guys, just run as fast as you can and shout as loud as you can!"
"Run to where there are many people, shout for help, call the police, call a bunch of people to come and help, that's all."
Zhen Rongrong couldn't help but smile and said, "Then why didn't you run the day before yesterday? Why didn't you shout?"
"Are you arguing with me?"
Li Ye finally lost his patience, looked around, and walked towards a tree.
He got into position and gave a side kick. With a crisp "pop" sound, a large piece of bark was rubbed off.
It was already autumn, and the half-yellow leaves were falling like raindrops.
"Just kick trees every day! When you can kick trees to my level, come and learn fighting skills from me. After you become my apprentice, we can talk about the previous question again."
“.”
Zhen Rongrong and Sun Xianjin watched Li Ye leave in amazement. Chen Xiaoling even went up and caught a falling leaf with his hand, his face full of disbelief.
Li Ye's kick just now was very fast, they only saw a shadow, and then the leaves fell.
It's too weird.
Sun Xianjin was eager to try and also walked to the tree.
It was a flying kick, and the posture was somewhat similar to Li Ye's.
“Ouch~~”
Sun Xianjin jumped around with his feet in his hands, like a grasshopper full of energy.
“Hahahahaha~”
Several girls laughed and came over to imitate Sun Xianjin's behavior, kicking lightly a few times and playing around with laughter. Their obsession with chivalry and justice faded away in the fun.
. . . . . . .
After dinner in the afternoon, Li Ye sent Wen Leyu to the library and went to Zaojun Temple himself.
Today is the day when people from his hometown come to visit, and Li Ye has to go and see what kind of people his grandfather has sent to him.
Unexpectedly, after arriving at Zaojun Temple, Jin Peng was the only one in the yard.
"I was thinking about you coming here today."
Jin Peng brought a basket of fruit and handed it to Li Ye.
Li Ye took an apple and asked while eating it: "Where is the person from my hometown? Didn't he say he would arrive today?"
Jin Peng said: "They all went to Xiushui Street to help, and they couldn't stay idle for a moment. They didn't listen when I asked them to go around the capital first."
After hearing this, Li Ye felt more at ease.
This work attitude is quite good.
The shops in Xiushui Street are now open until eight o'clock every night, and have become a sight to behold in the area. There is a lot of business every night, and Ma Qianshan and others are exhausted.
Li Ye finished eating the apple and said, "If you can hire more people, then hire more people. Working overtime every day is not a long-term solution. It's not good for Qiangzi to stay in the warehouse all day. You have to find a suitable person to replace him."
"Qiangzi hasn't been in the warehouse these days," Jin Peng said with a playful smile, "He became sworn brothers with Huang Gang and has been spending the entire day in the hospital!"
Li Ye was stunned and asked, "Become brothers? Who brought them together?"
It's no wonder Li Ye was surprised. With Wang Jianqiang's simple personality, he couldn't even express what was on his mind. How could he become sworn brothers with Kanye West from Beijing?
"He himself!" Jin Peng said mischievously, "Our silly brother finally got it!"
Li Ye: “.”
. . . . . .
The hospital is always filled with the smell of Lysol, which makes patients and their families feel deeply depressed by the disease and also has a "calming" effect.
Only very optimistic people can enjoy everything in such an environment and take illness and pain lightly.
Huang Gang thought he was an optimistic person, but after seeing his mother and sister's heart-wrenching grief and their frustrated looks a few days ago, he felt sad and slapped himself hard several times.
And just when he was feeling low, a simple-minded person brought dazzling light to Huang Gang.
"Brother, don't be discouraged. There are no obstacles in life that you can't overcome. Look, I couldn't even get enough to eat last year, but now I'm feeling better."
"My brother once said to me, 'You ignored me in the past, but you can't reach me today. I did it today.'"
At that time, Wang Jianqiang was sitting at the head of Huang Gang's bed and talking to him, which made Huang Gang find a soulmate.
Because Wang Jianqiang was wearing a woolen suit, shirt, tie, and watch, all of which were obviously high-end items, and he was definitely a successful person.
His parents and sister all said that Huang Gang had not achieved anything at his age and that his future was doomed. But look at Wang Jianqiang, isn't he an example?
What’s more important is that Wang Jianqiang and Huang Gang have similar personalities, and both of them have a “chivalrous spirit”.
Huang Gang remembered that night very clearly. His shout, as if he was grasping at a straw, made the naive Wang Jianqiang stop and led to the subsequent results.
It can be said that if Wang Jianqiang had not stopped at that time, Huang Gang and his two childhood friends might have been left in that alley.
So out of gratitude, Huang Gang proposed to Wang Jianqiang the idea of becoming brothers.
As a result, Wang Jianqiang immediately changed his words and stopped calling Huang Gang brother. He simply called him "brother" and came to take care of Huang Gang every day, caring more about him than his biological father who worked in the coal mine.
Look, Wang Jianqiang is here again, bringing with him a lot of food including roast chicken, braised beef and so on.
Huang Gang said embarrassedly: "Brother Qiangzi, I am really a burden to you. Don't worry, I will be discharged from the hospital soon. I will definitely pay back the medical expenses of the three of us brothers."
"Brother, what are you talking about?" Wang Jianqiang said unhappily, "Money is something outside of one's body. The little money you value today will not be a big deal when you become rich and look back."
Huang Gang was so moved that he was speechless. After all these years, this was the first person who insisted that he, Huang Gang, would definitely become successful!
But at this moment, a crisp girl's voice was heard outside the ward door.
"Brother Qiangzi, please don't say that my brother is rich. If you say that again, my brother will be on the roof."
The door of the ward was pushed open, and Huang Gang's mother Yang Xiujuan and sister Huang Suwen came to bring food.
As soon as he entered the door, Huang Suwen frowned.
"Brother Qiangzi, why are you buying meat for my brother again? What should I do if he gets hungry?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I won't be greedy if I eat one or two meals a day."
Wang Jianqiang, who had been quite arrogant just now, immediately became much kinder, revealing a bit of his naive nature.
"Aren't you greedy? Yesterday it was roast duck, the day before yesterday it was ham, and today..."
Huang Suwen's scolding made Huang Gang and Wang Jianqiang lower their heads. They looked at each other awkwardly, and felt pity for each other like brothers in distress.
"Alright, alright, stop talking like that! Why don't you serve the chicken soup to your two brothers?"
Since his mother Yang Xiujuan had spoken, Huang Suwen had no choice but to shut up and scoop out two bowls of chicken soup, giving them to Huang Gang and Wang Jianqiang.
Wang Jianqiang hurriedly took it and ate it politely.
I learned this from Li Ye. Usually when Li Ye is with them, he eats with big mouthfuls.
But Wang Jianqiang once saw Li Ye and Wen Leyu having dinner together, and their movements were very beautiful.
Although Wang Jianqiang is naive, he knows that Brother Xiaoye is a capable person and he will be right as long as he follows him and learns.
Seeing Wang Jianqiang eating happily, Yang Xiujuan's eyes flickered and she asked, "Qiangzi, you hang out here with your brother Gangzi all day, don't you have anything to do?"
Huang Gang was immediately unhappy, and after putting down the chicken soup, he said: "Mom, why do you say that? The individual economy is an important part of our four modernizations, you can't look down on it."
Yang Xiujuan and Huang Suwen watched Huang Gang speak out a long lecture and asked in surprise, "Who taught you this?"
Huang Gang pointed at Wang Jianqiang and said, "Look, that's what Brother Qiangzi said. And look at him, isn't he also prosperous?"
Huang Suwen looked at Wang Jianqiang in surprise, as if asking, "Do you know this?"
Wang Jianqiang's heart skipped a beat, but he subconsciously said, "This is true. From an economic point of view, in the process of market-oriented reforms, emerging economies will inevitably emerge."
As the saying goes, "A red bird is redder than a red bird." From time to time, Li Ye would impart some economic theories to Jin Peng and others, and Wang Jianqiang was always the one who listened quietly.
Maybe Jin Peng is smart enough, but he never takes it seriously. Wang Jianqiang, on the other hand, is stubborn and wrote down a lot of things.
Isn't this useful?
But Huang Suwen, a quick-witted girl, was not so easily fooled. She immediately asked, "Are you a self-employed person?"
“I’m not self-employed.”
Wang Jianqiang took out his work ID from his pocket and handed it to Huang Suwen.
Huang Suwen opened it and saw a photo and an official seal on it. His title was Deputy Business Manager of Pengcheng Garment Factory No. 7.
Huang Suwen stared at Wang Jianqiang and asked, "Are you the deputy manager?"
Wang Jianqiang was a little flustered, but he had no choice but to tell the truth: "My brother is the manager."
Okay! That's it.
Huang Suwen folded his work permit and returned it to Wang Jianqiang.
Everyone in the capital city understands that there are many cases like Wang Jianqiang’s.
Huang Gang stared at Wang Jianqiang blankly, his face full of grievance.
"Brother, you have been comforting me for a few days, saying that you will eventually succeed if you are self-reliant, but you are still a relative of mine?"
But Huang Gang's mother had a different idea. She smiled and chatted with Wang Jianqiang in a casual manner. While chatting, she suddenly asked Wang Jianqiang a question.
"Qiangzi, how much do you usually earn?"
"I" Wang Jianqiang scratched his head, thought for a while and said, "I'm not sure, because there are subsidies and bonuses, anyway, they are all around a hundred!"
In fact, Wang Jianqiang had thought of this excuse a long time ago to deal with his mother in Qingshui County, but he didn't expect to use it now.
"Over a hundred dollars?"
The Huang family members are extremely envious. Huang Gang's father is the pillar of the family, and he only earns about 40 yuan a month, but Wang Jianqiang alone can earn more than the entire family.
"Oh, if I save this hundred bucks, I can buy a small courtyard in Beijing in a few years, right?"
Wang Jianqiang suddenly had an idea and asked, "Brother Gangzi, Auntie, is there anyone selling a house on Donger Street?"
After Li Ye bought a house in Zaojun Temple, Wang Jianqiang decided to buy one and become Li Ye's neighbor.
But at this moment he suddenly felt that Dong Er Tiao was not too far from Zaojun Temple.
