Chapter 1637 Even the landlord's family didn't have any surplus grain!
Because Li Ye had a lot of things to do during the Spring Festival, his duty roster was mostly for the night. Anyone who has worked the duty knows that the worst thing is to suddenly receive a phone call at night; it can be terrifying for someone with a heart condition.
That evening, Li Ye received a call from Lu Zhizhang while he was on duty.
"Li Ye, a safety inspection team from the district suddenly came to our factory just now. They said they were doing a spot check for safety issues during the Spring Festival. Our safety is definitely not a problem! I managed to get away with it, but I feel something is off because Lai Jiayi's husband is among them."
"Lai Chia-yi's husband? When did he change jobs?"
Li Ye was very surprised. He and Lai Jiayi had never gotten along, so he had investigated her background. Although Lai Jiayi's husband, Yuan Jianbo, worked in a district-level government agency, it was a relatively peripheral unit.
Back then, Yuan Jianbo was able to get Lai Jiayi into the No. 1 factory to be in charge of the trade union work, which was already the limit of his ability and connections. Later, when Li Ye and Lai Jiayi had a huge falling out, he didn't do anything.
Now that Lai Jiayi has gone to Southwest Heavy Truck and has no business relationship with Li Ye, does that mean her husband is going to fight with Li Ye just to save face?
People who work in government agencies aren't street thugs who would risk their lives to fight you over a simple "What are you looking at?" Unless there's a significant incentive, they rarely make enemies.
In the end, all the fighting was just to vent their anger. In their eyes, it was the behavior of complete fools.
Lu Zhizhang said, "I don't know. Although there are notices for security checks every Spring Festival, I've never actually encountered one in all these years, let alone in a unit like ours."
"Hehe, maybe they want to see if we live up to their reputation."
The light vehicle company has always attached great importance to safety. In addition, because of its good performance, it has a good relationship with relevant units, and everyone should give it face.
After all, a profitable state-owned enterprise has powerful backers, so it's very costly to nitpick.
Lu Zhizhang thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask around later. Lai Jiayi's husband is not young. His sudden transfer might be due to some kind of assistance."
Li Ye stated directly, "Regardless of whose connections he has made, we will handle this strictly as a business. There is absolutely no way Lai Jiayi can come back."
"Of course, we can't indulge their bad habits."
Lu Zhizhang and Li Ye shared the same idea: some people shouldn't be tolerated, especially since the current light vehicle company isn't a small factory that can be bullied easily.
However, just an hour after Li Ye finished his call with Lu Zhizhang, Dong Shan called Li Ye's office.
"Hey, Li Ye, are you on duty at work today?"
"Wow, General Manager Dong is really resourceful. He even knows when I'm on duty. Looks like I need to clean up my team."
"Hahaha, Li Ye, don't be so nervous."
Dong Shan laughed and then said, "Li Ye, I have something to discuss with you. Is it convenient for me to come over now?"
"Convenient, of course it's convenient. You can come in and find me as long as you register with the security guard."
Hahaha~
Dong Shan laughed again, then said meaningfully, "Alright, I'll go in and register."
Sometimes, many people think that registering at the gate is a pointless and unnecessary thing. In fact, registration is to leave a record. As long as a record is left, it is a formal visit, not a private matter.
Do you want to chat with me privately?
I'm sorry, I'm only here to discuss business.
...
Li Ye stood by the window, silently watching the darkness outside. Half an hour later, he saw a car approaching, and then he saw three people.
One is Dong Shan, the other is Lai Jiayi, and I don't know the other one.
Seeing the security guard diligently registering Dong Shan and the others, Li Ye couldn't help but chuckle.
Dong Shan had served as the office director at Jingnan Group, so Li Ye guessed that the security guard must have been brewing up all sorts of gossip when he registered Dong Shan.
However, Dong Shan obediently entered and registered, while others did not follow the rules so well, one of whom wanted to be an exception.
The security guard quickly called Li Ye: "Mr. Li, a visitor said he came with his wife and that registration wasn't required."
Li Ye immediately guessed who the other party was, so he calmly said, "Then tell him that our unit is very safe and to wait in the guard room. People of unknown identity will definitely not be allowed in."
"Okay, I understand."
After the security guard hung up the phone, Li Ye watched as the man struggled with the other person for a while longer before finally registering on the form.
Then the three of them went upstairs by themselves.
Li Ye would never come downstairs to greet them; he couldn't even be bothered with the formalities with some people.
But just as Dong Shan and the others were going upstairs, the security guard called again to report: "Mr. Li, that person signed a name like Wang Wu, but I don't think it's his real name. Could there be something wrong with him?"
"Just sign it. If there are any problems, there's always Dong Shan, isn't there?"
Wang Wu with the big knife? Hehe~
A few minutes later, Dong Shan and the others entered Li Ye's office. As soon as Lai Jiayi entered, she started teasing Li Ye with a smile.
"Li Ye, you're still the same as ever, always volunteering for shifts during holidays, just like my husband Lao Yuan. Look, he just finished a safety inspection of companies in his jurisdiction and came along to meet some old colleagues."
"You're here to back you up, aren't you? You're a troublesome brat, aren't you?"
Li Ye forced a smile: "Comrade Wang Wu, right? Thank you for your hard work, serving XX."
"Wang Wu."
Dong Shan blinked before realizing that Yuan Jianbo had used a fake name when registering.
Ignoring their embarrassment, Li Ye poured three cups of tea and said with a smile, "Since you two went to the Southwest, it's been a rare opportunity for you to come back and reunite with your families. Now that you've taken the time to visit your old colleague, is it just for a New Year's greeting and to catch up, or is there something you want to discuss?"
“.”
Dong Shan hadn't expected Li Ye to be so direct, so he frankly replied, "There is something we need to discuss. I visited several department leaders today and explained the difficulties we are facing."
Although the enterprises have been decentralized, they are still ultimately under the leadership of the ministry. If they encounter difficulties, they will naturally seek help from their superiors.
Li Ye nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. If you don't cry and complain, who will know you're having a hard time?"
Dong Shan: "."
Can't we even have a proper conversation after you've brewed this special brew?
Dong Shan took a deep breath and said, "We are facing many problems now, one of which is the shortage of engines. The leaders in the ministry said that I should discuss this with you first, and if we can't reach an agreement, they will step in to solve it."
"Discuss it with me?"
Li Ye looked at Dong Shan suspiciously, then, as if he had suddenly realized something, said, "You're not thinking of taking advantage of me, are you? Even landlords don't have surplus grain!"
Chapter Two will be updated later.
