Chapter 329: Little thief, just wait for me!
Two dollars was absolutely not something he could accept, but Li Ye, who refused to accept the money, instead committed another sin.
"Zhongfa, your grandson is so spoiled. He thinks two yuan as New Year's gift is not enough!"
Li Zhongfa looked at his grandson, feeling quite helpless.
He knew that Li Ye would be back today, so he asked Li Ying to stop him at the intersection in advance. But the boy came back anyway. He really couldn't change his immature temper.
However, Li Ye said, "Second cousin, today is already the tenth day of the first lunar month, so the Chinese New Year will be over after the fifth day. I am an adult now, so why should I ask for lucky money?"
Wu Juying also replied unhappily: "Uncle, please don't say that my grandson is spoiled. Xiaoye is a cultured and polite person. You can't accuse me of that."
"He's well-educated and knows etiquette? That's great. Today I'm here to teach him what filial piety is."
The second cousin pinched the cigarette in his hand, looked at Li Ye and asked, "Xiao Ye! Your cousin is in trouble now.
"I, your cousin, have never been able to ask for help from you for so many years. This time I ask for help, so you tell me whether you, a junior, should help me or not!"
Li Ye smiled and said calmly: "Help those who should be helped, and don't help those who shouldn't be helped."
“.”
Everyone was stunned, and then started smoking.
The second cousin was embarrassed and immediately raised his voice and said, "What do you mean by not helping someone you shouldn't help? He's your cousin. The joint venture factory is hiring so many workers, so who can it be? Why would you use outsiders instead of your own people?"
Li Ye ignored his second uncle and looked at his grandfather Li Zhongfa: "Grandpa, isn't it the Hong Kong side that has the final say on the recruitment of workers for the joint venture factory? Why did you recruit them to our family? Are you going to make a mistake for the sake of family affection?"
"What do you mean by making a mistake?"
The second cousin said angrily, "In yesterday's exam, at least five or six people cheated and asked others to take the exam for them. It's okay for them to make mistakes, but it's okay for us to make mistakes? If that's the case, then you've wasted your time as a college student."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Wu Juying was furious, and immediately pointed at her second cousin and said, "Whose education are you saying was wasted? If your grandson knew how to study, wouldn't he have passed the exam yesterday? Why would you bother coming here?"
I usually don't even want to say a word to my grandson, and you say he's addicted?"
"I am the elder after all, can't I say a few words to him?"
"Can you say that? You can't say that!"
“.”
After being scolded by Wu Juying, the second cousin's face turned red and white.
He didn't understand why the Li family, who were originally friendly, suddenly became so aggressive as soon as Li Ye came in.
How could they know that, although it is true that Li Zhongfa is the head of the Li family now, Li Ye is everyone's Achilles' heel. To put it bluntly, if he offended Li Ye today, Li Juan and Li Ying would both bear this grudge in their hearts.
Seeing that the second cousin was humiliated, everyone in the room fell silent, leaving only the sound of smoking.
A woman sitting in the corner stood up awkwardly and said apologetically, "Uncle Li, we were just imagining things today. I'm really sorry. Xiao Gu and I are leaving first."
The other man sitting next to him also stood up, gave Li Zhongfa an awkward smile, and walked out.
But Li Zhongfa stood up and said, "Why are you in such a hurry, Mancang family? We haven't eaten yet! We must eat before we leave."
But the woman smiled awkwardly and said, "No! I ate too much at noon today. It's better to walk before it gets dark."
"Sister, please sit down quickly," Wu Juying also stopped her from leaving: "After dinner, let Xiaoye drive you back."
"No, no, we are country folk, how can we ride in a small sleeper car?"
But Wu Juying said, "Why not? When Zhongfa was in trouble, if you and his fourth uncle hadn't given him thirty kilograms of food, Xiaoye would have starved to death. It's only right for him to drive you there. You must eat this meal today."
Just at this moment, Han Chunmei had finished cooking the meal, and a large pot of stewed meat with cabbage and stewed pork ribs with potatoes was served.
So everyone started to eat quietly, and Li Ye also began to observe the fourth uncle and the woman from the "Mancang family".
Fourth uncle is very thin, he should have come alone. When Li Ye came in just now, he was sitting in the corner with Mancang's family. There was also a "Xiao Gu" who had no seat, so he could only squat on the ground next to them.
And this "Xiao Gu" was the only guy who helped Li Ye move things from the car just now.
Now sitting at the dinner table, Xiao Gu lowered his head and ate his steamed bun. Only when his mother picked up some food for him with chopsticks would he eat it silently.
Li Ye felt that this Xiao Gu was even more boring than the previous Wang Jianqiang, but he was also somewhat different from Wang Jianqiang.
Wang Jianqiang is a bit silly, while Xiao Gu seems to be "stubborn".
Because Xiao Gu was the youngest, he ate next to Li Ye, so Li Ye pushed a plate of food in front of him and said, "Brother, eat this. Don't just eat the buns."
Xiao Gu nodded silently: "Thank you!"
Wu Juying said, "Xiao Ye, who are you calling brother? You should call Xiao Gu uncle."
Li Ye was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Xiao Gu, thinking that he was really talkative. Suddenly, there was another elder.
“Ahem~”
Li Zhongfa coughed and said while eating, "I really can't help with the recruitment of workers at the joint venture factory, but I can't let you come here for nothing.
The factory has introduced a production line, so they need to renovate part of the factory building. You can have all the children report to the factory tomorrow and work as construction workers for a few months, and they can earn a few months' salary. "
The second cousin and the others looked at each other, and someone said, "Zhongfa! Are there really no vacancies for regular employees in the joint venture factory?
Those guys are obviously cheating, can't you just remove them and replace them with our own people?"
Li Zhongfa put down his bowl and asked coldly, "Why didn't you report them for cheating then? Now that the exam is over, what's the point of saying this? You didn't want to offend anyone then, but now you want me to offend them?"
"Don't you think that our own children can pass the exam? Who knew that you, as the director, would be powerless!"
"How hard do you want to work? Why don't you go and see if you can get a job as a builder?"
Li Zhong's cold and fierce eyes made those greedy guys feel uneasy.
And Li Ye seemed to have understood the truth.
The construction worker that Li Zhongfa mentioned should have been something he had thought of from the beginning, but he did not say it out loud immediately, otherwise it would have made the second cousin and others feel that it was easy and worthless.
So Li Zhongfa let these people stay at home for a day, and when their arrogance had weakened, he threw construction jobs at them to deal with the problem.
In this area, Li Ye feels that he still needs to learn more.
After everyone finished their meal, Xiaogu's mother and daughter and the fourth uncle refused to get in Li Ye's car and left on foot.
Li Ye had no choice but to give them two flashlights and asked them to bring their quilts to work as construction workers tomorrow and return them to him.
As for those uncles who were dragging their feet and wanting to take the bus, Li Ye ignored them and turned around and went back to his room.
You have two yuan as New Year's gift money, and you still want to take a bus? It's not even enough for the starting fare.
Li Ye found Li Zhongfa only after everyone had left.
"Grandpa, are you planning to take care of my fourth uncle and Xiao Gu's mother?"
Li Zhongfa glanced at Li Ye and asked with a smile: "How did you figure that out?"
Li Ye said: "Why do we need to see? If it weren't for their two families, you would have been forced out by your grandmother, right?"
"Who are you calling a scapegoat? Say something else, little bastard?"
Wu Juying opened the window of the main room and glared at Li Ye.
Li Ye quickly said, "Hehehe~, grandma, what I mean is that if grandpa can't do something, you can do it for me, right, grandpa?"
Li Zhongfa also said: "Yes, your grandma usually has a good temper, but when it is really necessary, she can be tough."
"Hmph~"
After listening to the grandfather and grandson's reluctant explanation, Wu Juying snorted with satisfaction and closed the window.
Li Zhongfa sighed and said, "Xiao Gu's father passed away two years ago, and he is the only pillar of the family left. I really want to help him this time."
"And your fourth uncle, if he hadn't helped me, I might have broken a few bones in my old body."
Li Ye said: "So what you mean is, let them work as temporary construction workers for a few months, and then find a way to make them permanent employees?"
Li Zhongfa looked at Li Ye and said, "That's exactly what I meant. Do you think it's appropriate?"
"Grandpa thinks it's appropriate, so I, your grandson, must think it's appropriate," Li Ye said with a smile, "But Grandpa, what if the child of my cousin..."
"They can't hold on," Li Zhongfa said decisively, "If I can't even tell the difference between the diligent and the lazy, then all these years of work have been in vain. If I don't force them to leave, they will leave on their own. In the end, they can't blame me."
“.”
Li Ye was stunned for a moment, then he had to give his grandfather a thumbs up.
He’s really as tall as his grandfather.
Then Li Ye asked: "Grandpa, what's the matter with cheating in this recruitment exam?"
Li Zhongfa said: "This is difficult to avoid. We made preparations in advance. We signed a contract with Hong Kong Island the day before yesterday and held a recruitment exam yesterday, just to prevent those who used backdoors from using connections in time.
However, the exam was held in a hurry, so it was hard to identify some of the substitutes. But among the 500 or 600 people, there were only 10 or 8 at most, so it didn’t have much impact.”
"There is still some impact," Li Ye shook his head and said, "Actually, it's easy to solve. We can just hold an induction test after everyone arrives.
Just choose the team leader based on the scores, and remove those whose scores are too outrageous. Then, it will be more reasonable for you to admit Xiao Gu and others."
Li Zhongfa nodded and said, "That's fine. I will try my best to sort out the atmosphere of the joint venture before I retire. I won't let Mr. Pei suffer any loss."
When Li Zhongfa said this, he glanced at Li Ye. He guessed that his grandson should have a lot of members in it, but he didn't know exactly how many.
Li Ye asked curiously, "Grandpa, you are in such good health. You won't enjoy a leisurely life after retirement, right?"
Li Zhongfa was stunned, not quite understanding what Li Ye said.
Then he heard Li Ye say: "After you retire, you can be the manager of the Hong Kong side. Whether the company can grow bigger and stronger, and whether our family is rich or not, still needs you to manage it!"
“.”
It took Li Zhongfa a long time to come to his senses. It turned out that Li Ye had been planning to squeeze this old bone of his dry from the very beginning!
But listening to what Li Ye said, it’s up to Li Ye of the joint venture to decide what he says!
You wait, little thief!
Lao Feng, I will update three times tomorrow! I was planning to update three times today, but something went wrong.
The child’s test results came out in the afternoon, and his mother went ballistic. Lao Feng could only mediate, but the mother really beat him!
Then when I was typing at night, the mother and daughter's bickering was like a devilish sound in my ears, disrupting the rhythm of my typing.
Alas, there are still more than ten years of hard days ahead!
