Chapter 535: Wen Leyu has to settle the score
"Auntie, please take a rest. I'll cut the vegetables and talk to Li Ye about the program-controlled switch."
Pan Xiaoying reacted quickly. As soon as Teacher Ke finished speaking, she immediately went over with a smile, grabbed the position on the chopping board, picked up the kitchen knife and started working.
As soon as Li Ye saw Pan Xiaoying's method of cutting vegetables, he knew that she was actually used to working in the kitchen at home. She wanted Wen Guohua to learn cooking simply because she wanted to put the burden of cooking on Wen Guohua's shoulders in the future.
This is also a habitual operation after working in the company for a long time. Work that can be pushed onto others should never become your own burden.
Li Ye smiled but said nothing.
Pan Xiaoying probably couldn't imagine that in three to five years at most, the day would come when the young nannies from Anhui Province would go to Beijing together.
In the future, nannies will no longer be exclusive to high-level officials. As long as you pay the money, you can enjoy the treatment of having food and clothing provided for you.
"It's like this. A few days ago, I heard from my family that a brother unit suddenly reported a research project on advanced programmable switches, and soon there was a breakthrough.
I have always known about program-controlled switches, and I think such a fast research progress must be very unusual.
So I looked into it and found out that this research result came from a small unit under the Computer Institute, and that small unit had contact with the Hong Kong side during the Chinese New Year, and the Hong Kong side had a translator named Li Ye.
Pan Xiaoying handed the prepared lettuce to Li Ye and said with a smile: "So I thought, that Li Ye couldn't be my brother? Later I checked and it turned out to be true. You and Pei Wencong have a special relationship!"
"Well, Pei Wencong and I do have some friendship, and the research project on the program-controlled switching system was indeed initiated by me."
Li Ye did not deny his relationship with Pei Wencong, because even if he denied it, Pan Xiaoying would not believe it.
By 1985, the trend of approving documents had already emerged, and matchmaking was a common practice in the circle.
Even though Li Ye is just a "Phoenix Man", because the Wen family is of a high enough level, Li Ye is definitely qualified to get benefits without any effort.
Would Li Ye work for free? So Pan Xiaoying thought that Li Ye must have received a commission.
Seeing that Li Ye admitted it, Pan Xiaoying smiled and asked, "What should we do? In a few days, they will come up to the house and pull out the ladder. Have you thought of a way to stop them?"
Li Ye said calmly: "Not yet, I'll think about it later."
“.”
Pan Xiaoying stared at Li Ye for a long time, and finally said helplessly: "Forget it, I'll help you block this matter! Who made Aunt Ke angry just now! We are all family, if I stand by and watch the joke, it will really become a joke!"
However, Pan Xiaoying changed the subject and continued, "But since we are a family, if anything happens in the future, you have to stand by my side!"
“.”
Alas, Wen Guohua and Wen Leyu were right. Pan Xiaoying is indeed not a pushover, and she is certainly not someone who will suffer any loss.
After dinner, the family discussed "The Deserter in the Fire" at the table.
Although making this movie at this time is just the "icing on the cake" and can be made or not, since it is going to be made, a group of bigwigs still attach great importance to it.
"We have discussed it all. The script will be adapted strictly according to the plot of the novel. No additional characters or scenes will be added. Li Ye, you don't need to listen to anyone's instructions when it comes to the script."
Teacher Ke said gently, "Also, if you, Li Ye, have any ideas or opinions about the actors and filming, someone will help you solve them. Don't just put yourself in the position of a scriptwriter."
Li Ye heaved a sigh of relief immediately. They had been arguing for a whole week and they had finally come up with a result that would be the easiest for him. If there was a lot of real material, wouldn't he have to rewrite the novel?
Li Ye smiled and said, "I am just a script writer. I have never thought about other positions."
"Don't be so modest at home. I have been following Homecoming for a long time. I know why the movie has achieved such success."
Teacher Ke glanced at Li Ye and said with a smile: "Tell me the truth, are you interested in developing in the Ministry of Culture? If you are interested, you should tell me the truth now!"
Li Ye smiled and shook his head, saying, "Teacher Ke, you know me well. I prefer economics and the manufacturing industry."
"Alas~"
Teacher Ke sighed softly and said meaningfully: "You are such a worry-free child."
“.”
Wen Guohua, who was pouring wine for his father, couldn't help but shrink his neck.
Among the younger generation, he is already considered to be "very motivated", but if he could have a "diamond drill" like Li Ye, his progress would definitely be much faster than it is now.
If you have achieved something, the support from your family will make your efforts twice as good as before. If you are not capable enough, your family will push you hard from behind, but after a certain point, they can no longer push you any further!
Pan Xiaoying, who had been watching and smiling at the side, seemed to understand something.
Everyone thought that Wen Guohua was the only pillar of the new generation of the Wen family, but now it seems that there is a hidden alternative.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Wen Leyu, who had not drunk, drove Li Ye, who had drunk, home. On the way, Li Ye told Wen Leyu that Pan Xiaoying wanted to help him.
"Look at this matter, should we give up some of our profits to Pan Xiaoying?"
Wen Leyu immediately said, "Give her the benefit. She is so beautiful that even if you order her around for nothing, she will help you get things done."
Li Ye said in surprise: "No way! She is not someone who will suffer any loss."
"Tsk~"
Wen Leyu sneered and said, "She was originally going to help you with this matter. If she dares to pretend not to see it, do you think my mother can tolerate any sand in her eyes?"
"And do you think she will suffer a loss? How big a project is it to replace the program-controlled switchboard in the postal and telecommunications system? What a great achievement? It would be strange if she is not jealous. It is good enough for her to get the achievement. If you ask me, she should give me money for helping!"
“.”
All right! If the family really wants to settle accounts, the little girl is still smart.
. . . . . . . . .
After Li Ye returned home, he called Master Ni.
"Mr. Ni, my friend sent me some of the latest computer books and magazines from Hong Kong Island. Are you free tomorrow?"
"Really? Thank you so much. I'm free tomorrow. I'll find you at Kyoto University."
Mr. Ni was very happy because many of the books and materials provided by Li Ye were the most cutting-edge in the world and were very useful for his research on programmable switches. They inspired him with new ideas several times.
Li Ye said: "Why don't I go find you! At 5:30 pm, at the restaurant where we had dinner last time."
"Okay, okay, I'll be there on time."
Li Ye put down the phone and carefully savored the tone of Mr. Ni's voice just now. He felt that the time to "sow discord" had come.
The next day, Li Ye arrived at the hotel, handed a large stack of the latest journals to Mr. Ni, and asked casually.
"Mr. Ni, I heard that the Fourth Post and Telecommunications Factory is about to develop the first domestically produced program-controlled exchange. Do you know what's going on?"
"How is that possible? When did they have that research project? Absolutely not."
"So is it possible that your research results were leaked?"
“.”
Sweat instantly appeared on Master Ni’s forehead.
