Chapter 1277 It’s a pity that I met you
After Li Ye, Xiao Zhu and others left the airport, Wen Leyu had already boarded the Audi 100 that came to pick her up. She greeted Li Ye through the window and left in a flash.
The two of them came here for a trip, so they had to take care of their business first before "taking a trip".
When Xiao Zhu saw Wen Leyu leaving, he urged the driver Qu Qingyou to drive: "Hurry up, hurry up, Lao Niu didn't bring his car here. If we leave too late, he might even want to take our car!"
Li Ye asked in surprise: "How do you know Lao Niu didn't bring a car?"
Xiao Zhu pouted and said, "Of course not. I have always considered myself a public servant, so how could I spend an extra penny of public money?
He just taught us that we should drive from Beijing to Shanghai together, as four people in one car would save the most money. He even showed off to us, saying that he could have taken a soft sleeper when he came here, but he took a hard sleeper to save money.
Li Ye will never be able to understand Niu Hongzhang's "thriftiness".
In the 1990s, when the fuel cost ten yuan per hundred kilometers, it would only cost one or two hundred yuan for four people to drive from Beijing. It was indeed cheaper than taking a car, not to mention that Li Ye took a plane.
But you can obviously take a soft sleeper, but you insist on saving a dozen or twenty dollars and taking a hard sleeper. How much use does this really bring to a company?
I'm afraid it will only be of great use when you publicize yourself as "serving the public wholeheartedly", right?
However, after Li Ye confirmed that Niu Hongzhang did not bring a car, he did not urge Qu Qingyou to drive away.
"Let's not leave in a hurry, wait a moment."
"What? Director, you're not really going to let bygones be bygones and let him get on our car, are you? I'm telling you, Lao Niu just wants to transfer a car from our after-sales department. No one will pay any attention to him, so you don't have to consider his face."
Li Ye sneered and said, "I gave him face? I gave him face?"
After a while, Niu Hongzhang, Su Gang and Su Gang's companions walked out of the terminal.
When Su Gang saw Niu Hongzhang leading him towards the taxi, he couldn't help but ask, "Old Niu, you've made it to this level, can you stop being so pretentious and ask the company to send a car over?"
Niu Hongzhang said calmly: "Su Gang, the difference between you and me is that we both remember our roots. Every penny we spend is the hard work of our employees."
"Come on, come on, I won't argue with you anymore. How good is the performance of your factory? You are still so stingy. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
"Humph, only those selfish parasites laugh at me."
Niu Hongzhang sneered as he approached a taxi, but just as he opened the door and hadn't gotten in, he saw a Santana in front of him open its door, and Li Ye got out and walked over with big strides.
Niu Hongzhang was a little dazed.
[Is he going to give me a ride? The sun is rising from the west? ]
It turns out that unless the world ends, the sun always rises from the east.
Li Ye walked closer and asked, "Comrade Niu Hongzhang, do you want to take a taxi? Then will you pay for the taxi fare or will he pay for it?"
Niu Hongzhang looked at Su Gang along the direction Li Ye pointed, then said coldly, "Do you think you can ask that?"
Wen Leyu had just said this, and Niu Hongzhang still thought he was quite smart.
But the next moment Li Ye said: "If you pay for the taxi, then don't let others take you, otherwise you will be using the status given to you by the government to do favors for others."
“.”
Niu Hongzhang's face turned red instantly, because of the resentment in his chest.
Just now he scolded Li Ye, saying that Li Ye used his power to buy a plane ticket for Wen Leyu to travel, but less than ten minutes later, the boomerang came back at his head.
Don’t talk about whether it’s convenient or not. The benefits the government gives you are only for you. If you share them with others, I will be jealous of you.
Only at this moment did Niu Hongzhang understand what Li Ye had just said.
【If you always stare at others, others will also stare at you. 】
When Niu Hongzhang always nitpicks at other people's faults, he thinks he is right, but when others also find fault with him, he becomes uncomfortable.
Su Gang quickly stepped forward and said to Li Ye with a smile, "Haha, I'm the one who wants to take the taxi, so of course I'll pay for it. Otherwise, the misunderstanding that Secretary Niu wants to take the bus is just a misunderstanding between us."
Li Ye couldn't adapt.
He had a conflict with Su Gang on the plane before, and Su Gang's shoulder probably still had the redness and swelling left by Li Ye. Plus, he was with Niu Hongzhang, so how could he smile at him?
Li Ye turned around and left in confusion. Anyway, Niu Hongzhang was almost sick with anger from him, so his goal had been achieved.
But Niu Hongzhang suddenly reacted and shouted at Li Ye's back: "I will pay for this myself, with my own money."
“.”
Li Ye got into his car, broke through the rain and left the terminal.
Xiao Zhu asked curiously, "What did Lao Niu tell you? Why are you frowning?"
Li Ye shook his head and said, "Lao Niu is fine, but Lao Niu's friend is a little strange. We had some conflicts on the plane. Why would he smile at me? And what about misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstand?"
Xiao Zhu was stunned for a moment, then said thoughtfully: "Director, in the past two days since we arrived, several groups of people came to me and said some strange things."
"Strange words? What are you talking about?"
Xiao Zhu curled his lips and said with a smile: "They said they wanted to invite me to work in their company and give me a promotion."
"I'll promote you to hell!"
Li Ye grabbed Xiao Zhu by the collar and said, "If you dare to be transferred away and become a traitor, I will strangle you to death!"
Xiao Zhu used to be a technician at the main factory. Later, when a branch factory was being built, he volunteered to follow Li Ye to "open up new land."
Although the technical department later had a group of technical experts such as Wu Yan and Lao Jie, which made Xiao Zhu, a technical secondary school student, less outstanding, Li Ye still firmly appointed him as the deputy section chief.
Because Wu Yan has a bad temper and Lao Jie is a taciturn person, there has to be someone to act as the housekeeper to solve all kinds of messes.
So Li Ye treated Xiao Zhu quite well. There were so many college students in the technical department, and Li Ye was thinking about this old man, Xiao Zhu. If he dared to change jobs now, Li Ye would feel that he was blind.
"Brother, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was talking nonsense."
Xiao Zhu begged for mercy, and then said, "Those people came to me to ask questions. Although they didn't say it clearly, they always asked about the situation at the branch factory in the city. I guess they saw that the performance of the vehicle factory in the city was improving, so they wanted to take advantage of it."
"Um?"
Li Ye let go of Xiao Zhu's collar and said softly, "Did you hear the news so soon?"
When Li Ye followed Wen Qingsheng to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he was asked, "How many people can your factory absorb through mergers?" Now, three or four months have passed, and the necessary procedures are about to be implemented.
Xiao Zhu asked cleverly, "Brother, what's the rumor? Are we going to add another branch?"
Li Ye smiled faintly and said, "Maybe not! How would I know?"
Xiao Zhu said excitedly: "Not necessarily, then it is possible? Brother, if we merge another factory this time, will we be promoted to the next level?"
Li Ye laughed and scolded, "You wish for it. How can it be so easy to get promoted all day long?"
Xiao Zhu said with a smile: "Only when you think beautifully can you live beautifully! We rise with the tide of the unit. Only when the level of the unit rises can I get promoted!"
“It’s true that a rising tide lifts all boats.”
When the first branch was just being planned, no one would have thought that those few shabby factory buildings would have developed to where they are today.
But Li Ye knew that as long as he seized the opportunity in this era, he could ride on the rising tide of the mainland and expand into a world-class enterprise.
Otherwise, look at Warwick now, how many people are there?
"Brother, if we upgrade again, many people at the main factory might get angry."
Xiao Zhu suddenly said, "Lao Niu has done nothing else in the past two years since he came here, but he has suppressed their job levels. In the past two years, our branch factory has added a lot of cadres, but the main factory has not added any. There are even some vacancies due to retirement, but Lao Niu is still suppressing them."
"To be honest, Lao Niu is capable, but our unit is now a reform experiment unit, and the economy comes first, so he can't touch us. If we were in a government agency, we might really be forced to leave by him."
Li Ye pondered for a long time, and couldn't help laughing: "Yes, Lao Niu is capable, but it's a pity that he met me."
In a business unit, Li Ye can use money to solve most problems, but if he were in a government agency, he might not survive more than three episodes.
