Chapter 1520 The Best of the Thirty-Six Stratagems is to Retreat
Shang Bin was furious when he heard Cong Jin Hong's words, but Cong Jin Hong felt wronged!
"Secretary Shang, the reason I borrowed funds from Lao Ou this time is for the office building project of our unit, and also for the benefit of the collective."
In the end, I got nothing out of it and have to shoulder a mountain of responsibility. These huge financial holes weren't caused by me embezzling or stealing, so why am I always being forced to fill them? Sometimes I really think it would be better to just die, sob sob sob sob.
As Jin Hong spoke, she even started to cry in distress, which made Shang Bin, who was standing next to her, even more irritated.
[You even took my share back, and you still say you weren't greedy? You even went so far as to issue fake invoices, and you say you didn't steal?]
After a long while, Shang Bin said with a gloomy face, "Eldest sister, do you know why I suggested that Li Ye go to the southwest?"
Jin Hong wiped away her tears: "I know the situation in the southwest isn't good right now. The workers aren't getting their wages, so there's a lot of unrest. Li Ye has the ability to bring in funding."
"What business is it of my business if the workers don't get their wages?"
Shang Bin said angrily, "Jin Hong, if you hadn't gone up on the rooftop and caused such a ruckus, Dong Shan wouldn't have reported it to Qu Si, and I wouldn't have had to rush to bring out the prototype to divert attention from above."
As a result, when Qu Si led a delegation to visit the new vehicle factory in Southwest China, after viewing the prototype, he sent a guidance team to Southwest Heavy Truck Company under the pretext of fully supporting the production of the new vehicle.
After this guidance group arrived in the Southwest, they kept trying to talk to Lao Ou, but Lao Ou preferred to hide rather than contact them. So what do you think this guidance group was doing?
Jin Hong was stunned for a moment, then her face turned deathly pale.
Although she had climbed to her current position through opportunism, she had seen it all over the years and knew that when a whole team was sent to a subordinate company and even talked to key financial figures, they certainly weren't there to relax and enjoy their retirement.
Shang Bin sighed and said helplessly, "Eldest sister, if we don't let bygones be bygones this time, something terrible might happen to the family."
"What's past is past, but what's past is old grievances. This time, your matter is closely related to Li Ye, how could he pretend not to see it? Sister, you've been a veteran of Southwest Heavy Truck for a long time, you should know the principle that one thing affects everything."
If something happens to you now, everyone will support you, but if... sigh."
“.”
Jin Hong was stunned.
Shang Bin's words sounded like well-intentioned advice, but they were actually full of threats.
If the uncleanliness from Jin Hong's bottom causes harm to others, then everyone will definitely put all the blame on her.
"Secretary Shang, is it really that serious?"
"I think it's very serious."
Before a rainstorm arrives, ants frantically move their homes, and Shangbin is one such ant that senses the danger.
Sun Xianjin could sense something amiss from the unusual transfers of several colleagues, so how could Shang Bin be completely oblivious?
That's why Shang Bin was willing to offer such a large slice of the pie to Li Ye in exchange for a deal where past transgressions would be forgiven.
As for whether Li Ye would take a bite of this cake, Shang Bin didn't even consider it.
Because Li Ye has always been a "deputy" position, although he has been promoted very quickly, he ultimately lacks solid experience.
A full-time position in a large factory with tens of thousands of employees is exactly the kind of work experience he needs right now.
Jin Hong grinned and forced a smile, saying, "Then this time, Li Ye really got a good deal."
Is it cheap?
Shang Bin gave a cold laugh: "Whether he gets the better deal or not depends on whether he knows what's good for him."
If Li Ye goes to Southwest Heavy Truck, he should be sensible enough to attract some investment, pay everyone's salaries, do some prestige projects and publicity, and then he can return to Beijing after two years with his newfound status.
But if Li Ye really wants to turn Southwest Heavy Truck into a branch factory, then he's probably in for a rough time!
Upon hearing the words "don't you know what's good for you?", Jin Hong couldn't help but shudder.
He felt that Shang Bin was not only talking about Li Ye, but also about her.
"I will settle Old Ou's accounts as soon as possible."
After Jin Hong made a guarantee to Shang Bin, she called her younger brother, Cong Jinqi, and said, "Hey? Xiaoqi, gather all the funds you have and give them to me now."
Jin Qi immediately protested, "Big sister, where would we get any money? You asked me to raise some money a few days ago, so I tried to find buyers to liquidate some of our assets, but that takes time!"
Jin Hong gritted her teeth: "Then let's sell it cheaply as soon as possible. Sell your car too; there's no shortage of luxury cars to sell these days."
"Huh? I'm fine! I'll contact Lao Ou after I sell it."
Jin Qi was very reluctant to part with his imported car, but since his older sister had spoken, he couldn't object.
But Jin Hong said, "Give me the money. The situation with Lao Ou is very complicated right now. I need to pull some strings and try to get the best possible outcome."
“.”
What would be the best possible outcome?
After Jin Hong hung up the phone, her conflicted gaze gradually became firm.
A single hair can affect the whole situation. She's risen from the top to where she is today, is it really that difficult for her to leave unscathed?
The Thirty-Six Stratagems: Positioning is Key.
What Jin Hong didn't know was that Shang Bin was staring blankly out the window, also hoping that Jin Hong would "make her move".
It will be safer for everyone if you leave.
...
When Li Ye left Sun Xian's house and returned to his own home, Xiao Dou'er jumped on him again and then covered her nose in disgust.
"Dad, you've been drinking again. You smell terrible."
"Yes, yes, yes, I went to your Uncle Sun's house today and found you a little apprentice. Sun Jiabin told me he wants to learn martial arts from you!"
Little Dou'er became interested: "Really? Then you'll have to make him kowtow to me. If he kowtows to me, I'll teach him a couple of moves."
"Alright, alright, I'll make him kowtow to you. Now you should go to sleep! It's getting late."
"No, no, no, I want to practice a little longer. The old man told me that if I don't practice for a day, I'll become clumsy and disorganized."
Li Ye couldn't help but chuckle as he watched his daughter skip away before telling Wen Leyu about what he had talked about with Sun Xianjin.
Wen Leyu laughed sarcastically, "They really have a dream. They give you the title of top leader, then send you thousands of miles away, and then annex a branch factory?"
Li Ye said calmly, "I don't know if they still have the intention to take over the first factory, but it's certain that they get a headache just looking at me now."
Wen Leyu looked at Li Ye: "Do you want to go?"
Li Ye pouted: "I don't want to be separated from you, thousands of kilometers away! I can only cry secretly when I miss you and the kids."
"Giggle giggle~"
Wen Leyu laughed heartily.
Although they are both over thirty, the way they are inseparable is much more than other people their age.
Li Ye added, "By the way, Bian Jingjing might be coming to visit you on Sunday. Tell her not to let Sun Xianjin stay home alone for too long."
"So, Sun Xianjin is missing his wife too?"
"That's right! Birds of a feather flock together; we all dote on our wives."
Hahaha~
After hearing Li Ye's words, Wen Leyu smiled again.
Li Ye, Li Dayong, Wang Jianqiang, and Sun Xianjin all prioritize their wives over their careers, a situation that stands in stark contrast to many others.
Bian Jingjing and Sun Xianjin were just living together as a couple, but Li Ye and Wen Leyu were not, because when they got together, it wasn't driven by self-interest.
Wen Leyu was not yet eighteen when she met Li Ye. After she left Qingshui County and returned to the capital, many people felt that Li Ye was not good enough for her, but she insisted on being with Li Ye.
Later, when Li Ye and Wen Leyu were in school, they didn't go abroad to study, just so they could stay together forever and not allow any changes to happen.
So now that Shang Bin has suggested that Li Ye become the top leader, will Li Ye be tempted?
Does Li Ye need someone else to suggest he become the top leader? Does he need to travel thousands of miles away?
That's completely unnecessary!
