Chapter 1533 My younger sister is already a big shot.
"Sorry, Mr. Dong, I really do have an appointment."
Li Ye saw the unfriendly expression on Dong Shan's face, clearly indicating that the other party thought Li Ye was fooling a fool, but Li Ye still picked up his briefcase and left.
Because Li Ye really did ask the girl out to dinner, and the girl even paid the bill after they were full.
Why did the girls want to pay the bill? Because they "wanted something" from Li Ye.
This morning, Fu Yiruo and Li Juan went to a computer technology exhibition and then called Li Ye to invite him to lunch.
"Brother, we heard so many amazing ideas this morning, and we really can't tell which ones are true or false. Could you come over this afternoon and help us figure out if they're real or fake?"
Li Ye was busy at the time, so he casually mocked, "You've all been in the workforce for several years now, shouldn't you have developed your own discernment by now?"
"If two grown men with four eyes can still be fooled, they might as well just stay home and wait to die. I'll support them for the rest of their lives."
If it were Li Juan making the call, she would definitely be too upset to speak, but this time it was Fu Yiruo who called.
"Hey brother, Xiaojuan and I don't have your keen eye! Besides, we're also trying to earn money for the family, aren't we? Come on over, we'll treat you to a big lunch if necessary!"
"Oh my, I've never had a younger sister treat me to a meal before! I absolutely have to go."
"Hehehe, as long as I'm free, I'll treat you to a big meal every day, no problem."
“.”
No older brother can resist his younger sister's enthusiasm for treating him to a meal. Even though many younger sisters have come up with all sorts of creative ways to invite their older brothers to dinner, these "big brothers" still can't seem to learn their lesson.
Your younger sister treats you to a grilled sausage and asks you to buy her an iPhone. You obediently pay up and then give her an extra 200 yuan for pocket money. It's not that the older brother is stupid; he's just worried that his younger sister won't have enough money at school and that her little self-esteem will be hurt.
The sense of responsibility that Chinese civilization has instilled in men over thousands of years has truly permeated their very being, to the point that every man hopes to become a pillar of strength, a "big brother" who can protect all the sisters in his family with his own body.
However, decades later, some people have confused "standing tall and upright" with "standing out from the crowd," and all traditional virtues are no longer needed; all you need is money.
Similarly, marriage has become a mess. Kindness, magnanimity, and integrity no longer matter. All you need is money. Tsk tsk tsk.
However, Li Ye's agreement to help his sister with the selection process wasn't entirely due to being lured in by her meal. He also had some interest in the computer technology exhibitions of this era.
According to the original plan, mainland China would be fully connected to the international internet next year. However, thanks to Li Ye's actions, this process has been significantly accelerated.
Among them, Fengyu Computer's "making computers affordable for ordinary people" strategy has greatly increased the computer ownership rate in mainland China. Although the entry-level price of six or seven thousand is still expensive, it is already much cheaper than foreign products that cost tens of thousands.
The mobile company where Li Juan worked also played a significant role in this process. Pan Xiaoying initially didn't value computer networks much, believing that selling mobile phones was the key to making money.
However, ever since Li Ye persuaded Teacher Ke to help prevent Pan Xiaoying from taking the wrong path and start developing internet-related businesses, Pan Xiaoying has demonstrated strong initiative and worked very hard to promote this matter, which has now reached a substantial stage.
Therefore, it is foreseeable that the internet in mainland China will be more prosperous than it was on the original trajectory.
Since the industry is more prosperous, it naturally needs more professional talents. That's why Li Juan and Fu Yiruo went to the meeting early today, hoping to find some exceptional talents. Then they encountered a situation where they couldn't distinguish between them.
"Come on, let me see who this person is who can fool my sister to the point that she can't tell the difference."
In fact, Li Ye knew that this was an era teeming with talent, and at first he had considered taking matters into his own hands and bringing all those outstanding individuals under his control.
But thinking about the saying, "It's not that you made the era what it is, but that the era made you what it is," Li Ye gave up and instead delegated authority to his younger sisters, letting them hone their eyes in the tides of history.
After several years of experience, Li Juan and Fu Yiruo are no longer naive young girls. So who exactly is the person who could fool them so easily?
When Li Ye arrived at the exhibition venue following the address given to him by Li Juan and Fu Yiruo, he saw the two girls standing by a platform, surrounded by several layers of people. If Li Ye hadn't been tall enough, he wouldn't have been able to see the two girls at the very back.
"Team Leader Li, our unit's idea is truly valuable for collaboration. It doesn't require much investment but can yield significant returns, and it also has immeasurable development prospects."
"Team Leader Li, our company is a research unit under the XX Provincial Research Institute. The software we developed has undergone rigorous testing and is very suitable for the existing working environment of the mobile company."
"Team Leader Li, our director has already flown here from X Province. Could you schedule a time with us? We have a very good project."
Li Ye stood on tiptoe outside the crowd and looked inside. He noticed that Li Yue, who always asked him questions cautiously at home, was now suddenly surrounded by admirers.
Team Leader Li—what a formal title! Even a division-level director from another province who wanted to talk to Li Juan had to "make an appointment."
"Are these the people who make it difficult for Li Juan to distinguish between them?"
Li Ye carefully examined the group of eloquent speakers in the center, but he didn't recognize any of them. They were clearly not the internet giants of later generations. It was obvious that there were far more talented and ambitious people who had been lost in the tide of history than pigs that eventually took off on the cusp of success.
There aren't many pigs that can actually fly.
Li Juan was dealing with several incredibly eloquent guys around her, but she was actually feeling quite tired. Just as she looked up to catch her breath, she suddenly saw that Li Ye had arrived.
She quickly addressed the people around her, saying, "Everyone, we're just here to see the exhibition today, so we don't have time for a detailed discussion."
Please leave me your contact information, along with your ideas and requirements. I'll contact you again after consulting with my supervisor, okay?
The person at the very back immediately handed Li Juan an envelope: "Okay, Team Leader Li, this is our unit's information and contact details. We are a legitimate government organization, not a bunch of charlatans."
Li Ye could tell something was wrong just by looking at the thickness of the envelope.
But before Li Ye could remind Li Juan, many people outside became angry: "Hey, what are you saying, kid? Who's the conman?"
"Exactly, does that mean anyone not affiliated with a government organization is a scammer? This is a computer technology conference; anyone who likes computers can come. Who are you calling a scammer?"
"That's right! We're all technicians, what do you do? Do you even understand technology? You just spouted all that fancy stuff that nobody else understands, but do you think we can't understand it? You're the one who's a fraud."
"Did I say you were scammers? But you're not legitimate people either. Do you have an official company seal? Is anything you say credible?"
"Hey, just because you have an official company seal doesn't mean you can trust it. You think you're someone important just because I made one for five bucks?"
In an instant, the scene became lively, and the young people on the outside quickly formed an alliance, shouting and cursing at the people inside.
Li Ye now understood that most of these young people outside were computer enthusiasts, but they didn't have an official seal from their work unit and were just lone wolves.
Among these scattered soldiers, Li Ye finally spotted a familiar face and another person he vaguely recognized, but whose identity he was unsure of.
"Big brother, we're leaving now."
Li Juan and Fu Yiruo slipped out of the crowd and pulled Li Ye away.
Li Ye quickly reminded her, "Don't go yet, check that envelope from earlier, just in case something's inside."
Li Juan whispered, "Don't worry, brother, I knew something was wrong the moment I touched that envelope. I've already given it to the driver to handle."
“.”
Well! Li Juan, who is so cautious at home, has already become quite a figure outside.
Although Li Juan is young, she is the leader of the experimental group for promoting computer networks at the mobile company. She is a "favorite" directly led by Pan Xiaoying. At a computer exhibition like this, she is already a "big shot".
