Chapter 1445 Do you want to use me as a gun?
The second day of the Lunar New Year was supposed to be Lao Meng's shift, but Li Ye had been waiting from eight in the morning to eleven, and Lao Meng still hadn't come to take over Li Ye's shift.
Unable to bear it any longer, Li Ye had no choice but to call: "Brother Meng, when will you arrive at the office?"
Lao Meng said in embarrassment: "Oh, all my father-in-law's children are here today. Xiao Li, can you take my place for a day?"
Li Ye immediately said, "That won't work! My father-in-law has called me twice and is still waiting for me to cook!"
Lao Meng pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Is that so? Then I'll let Lao Gao help me out for a while while I chat with my wife's brother and then leave."
Li Ye smiled and said, "I don't have any objection to this, but I'm afraid someone will cause trouble. You don't know! On New Year's Eve, someone actually called to check on me."
Lao Meng was silent for a long time, then said in a deep voice: "Oh, okay! Wait for me for another ten minutes."
"Okay, okay, I'll start packing my things."
Li Ye hung up the phone, a hint of coldness appearing on his face.
Lao Meng's behavior is a typical example of taking advantage of one's seniority. Relying on his age and connections, he acts in a very Buddhist way at work, not working, not taking responsibility, not suffering any loss, and he has to take advantage of any benefit.
But it’s okay if you’re a Buddhist at other times, but do you still want to bully others during the New Year?
From New Year's Eve to the third day of the New Year, Li Ye and Ma Zhaoxian were on duty day and night, leaving only the daytime of the second day of the New Year assigned to Lao Meng, who then wanted to push it back to Li Ye.
And he also secretly talked to Li Ye about father-in-law and brother-in-law?
How long has your father-in-law been retired? Are you close to your wife's brother-in-law? My father-in-law and mother-in-law are still in their prime! My wife and my brother-in-law have great futures, and I don't even have the nerve to show off my superiority, so why are you showing off to me?
It was almost twelve o'clock when Lao Meng finally came slowly. Li Ye smelled the smell of alcohol on him and was so angry!
"You old man, are you here to take my place after you've finished drinking? Don't you know you can't work if you're drunk?"
And that's not all. As soon as Lao Meng arrived, he complained to Li Ye: "Hey, our Jingnan Group is not our own Jingnan Group. Shang Bin and others are also part of the group!
We suffered a loss when we merged. We gave them three of the four promotion spots, but when it came to the work, we still suffered a loss.
You see, during the Spring Festival shift, we sent three people, but they only sent one, and they chose the third day of the Lunar New Year. It’s really frustrating to compare yourself with others.”
“.”
Li Ye glanced at Old Meng, who was full of complaints, and knew that he was trying to divert hatred and shift his mistakes onto the people of Southwest Heavy Duty Truck.
The people from Southwest Heavy Duty Truck did take advantage, so you, Old Meng, are taking advantage of me, right?
Li Ye smiled and said, "That's not true. If we don't seize this opportunity of the group merger, who knows when we'll be promoted."
Lao Meng immediately laughed and said, "Haha, yes, yes, Brother Li has been very successful these past few years, winning three levels in a row. To be honest, if it weren't for you, we would have suffered a huge loss in this merger."
“.”
Li Ye really admired him.
Is Li Ye the biggest beneficiary of this group merger? It's obviously Old Meng, isn't it?
How old is Li Ye? How much has he accomplished in recent years? His promotion is a foregone conclusion, just a matter of a few years.
Old Meng is already in his fifties. He has been living a life of ease and has no outstanding achievements on his resume. This rising opportunity is like a pie in the sky for him. But now he thinks that Li Ye has made a great bargain.
He didn't even think about it. If there hadn't been Li Ye, would this group merger have happened? Even if Old Meng had a lot of connections, would he have gotten such a good thing?
So Li Ye smiled and said, "Yes, yes, some people clearly made a lot of money, but still feel that they have lost out, and they are not even active in their Spring Festival duty."
"Um?"
Old Meng narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Ye with a smile.
He was not sure whether Li Ye was making indirect accusations against him, but over the years, no one had dared to make indirect accusations against him!
But the next moment, Li Ye took out the Spring Festival duty roster and pointed to the phone records on it and said, "Look, there are a total of nine duty units at Southwest Heavy Duty Truck. Among these, only three units have people on duty at most.
Also, look at these calls. They all called in the middle of the night to report on the situation. They weren't reporting on the situation at all; they were checking on us!"
"Hiss~, you really dare to check on me?"
Lao Meng picked up the duty roster and looked at the detailed call records, including the time and minute of the calls and their duration.
Just now he wanted to let his direct subordinates take over the shift, but he didn't believe Li Ye's words that someone was checking on him, so he felt resentful. But now it seems that
[Did I misunderstand him? Hehe~]
In a short period of time, seventeen or eighteen thoughts ran through Lao Meng's mind.
He would not trust Li Ye easily. In some matters, he would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go.
Lao Meng pinched the duty log and said in a deep voice, "This matter is very serious. Please raise the issue after the holiday. We will deal with it seriously."
"Yeah, yeah, let's settle the accounts after the festival. I'm leaving now!"
Li Ye agreed and turned to leave.
But after he turned around, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Lao Meng likes to eat ready-made food the most.
He asked Li Ye to take the initiative to attack Shang Bin and his men, and then wait for Shang Bin and others to come and coordinate and make concessions. Anyway, he, Old Meng, must be included in the coordination and can reap the benefits without doing anything.
Just like when Ma Zhaoxian proposed to let Dong Shan be the office director a few days ago, Lao Meng didn't say a word at all, just waiting for Ma Zhaoxian to negotiate with him, and finally agreed to let his direct subordinate Lao Gao stay in his position, because he felt that Ma Zhaoxian owed him a favor.
This is a common practice within government agencies and enterprises, but it has become inferior after being used too often.
Li Ye has made a decision that if he has the chance in the future, he will definitely throw Lao Meng out of the car and will never let him stay in his car again.
As soon as Li Ye left, Lao Meng also sneered.
He threw the duty record on the table and cursed with disdain: "You are still a little naive if you want to use me as a tool."
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
Li Ye left the unit in a hurry, and by the time he arrived at his father-in-law's house, it was already past dinner time.
Although Li Ye repeatedly told Wen Leyu to let her and the children accompany her father-in-law and mother-in-law for dinner first, when Li Ye entered the house, he found that the whole family had not started eating and were waiting for him, the son-in-law, to arrive before starting the meal!
What surprised Li Ye even more was that his brother-in-law and Pan Xiaoying were also having lunch at Teacher Ke's place today. This was not normal.
After all, if you don't go to your father-in-law's house on the second day of the New Year, he will be angry with you.
Pan Xiaoying started by saying, "Deputy General Manager Li, just to have dinner with you, your brother started complaining about being hungry at my dad's place at 10:30 and got him drunk at 11:00. But when we got here, you were still at work. You're truly a role model."
Li Ye smiled awkwardly and said, "Sister-in-law, please don't say that. I'm the youngest in the unit, and everyone wants to bully me."
Pan Xiaoying glared at him and said, "Who bullied you? Tell me, I'll go and have a fight with him."
“Hehehe~”
Teacher Ke suddenly smiled and said, "Look at Xiaoying, this child is smart. She knows that when she needs help from others, she must first help out."
"Mom, why do you say that to me?"
Pan Xiaoying said something in a scolding tone, then turned to Li Ye and smiled, "Li Ye! Xiaoyu and I just discussed it, and we both think that the plan you proposed is good, but you also know that my sister-in-law doesn't have much money, so in terms of shares..."
Li Ye looked at Pan Xiaoying, then said with a puzzled look on his face: "This is not right, right? Sister-in-law, you don't have money, but my brother does!"
"Your brother is rich? How much money does he have?"
"Tens of millions, probably!"
Li Ye pondered for a moment and added, "I'm talking about US dollars."
Pan Xiaoying looked at Wen Guohua in surprise, raised her brows and asked sharply, "Guohua, where did you get the money?"
Wen Guohua turned around and looked at Li Ye. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes said, "Brother, what are you doing?"
Li Ye pointed at his mother-in-law and said, "We have money, isn't it because my eldest brother is rich? Mom has saved up her royalties for many years. Although she said she won't touch the money if it's not necessary, as long as my eldest brother says so, will she not give it to me?"
So, sister-in-law, do you really think my elder brother is a poor kid? Do you really think my elder brother is short of money?
