Chapter 1622 This is counterfeit; if you want to take it...
In the time it took Li Ye and Li Kaijian to smoke a cigarette, they finalized the future path of Qingshui Chemical. Li Kaijian felt much better and handed his son another cigarette, which was seen by Wu Juying, who came out of the house.
"Oh, what's this difficult situation, making a father light a cigarette for his son?"
Li Ye almost threw the cigarette in his hand away.
It's true that the grandmother loves her grandson, but she values Chinese traditions even more. If a father lights a cigarette for his son, is he asking his son for a favor?
A father begging for his son's attention? Is there any justice in this world?
However, to be fair, Li Kaijian's plan to privatize Qingshui Chemical really couldn't do without Li Ye's support, because the specific operational procedures couldn't bypass Wen Leyu, and Wen Leyu had to exert his strength to resist those who were envious.
Li Ye said awkwardly, "Grandma, please don't misunderstand. I don't have any cigarettes or lighters on me, so..."
"Alright, alright, stop explaining. Children are always a debt to their parents. Your father has truly worried himself sick and suffered countless hardships for you children his whole life."
"You and Xiaoyue are in front, and Xiaojuan, Xiaoying, and Youan are behind. In the future, as the eldest brother, you should also be more considerate of your father. You need to think ahead about some things and not expect him to ask you for help."
Wu Juying continued rambling on and on, making Li Ye very embarrassed.
Li Kaijian's life has been quite eventful. After his mother, Fu Guiru, moved south to Malaysia, Li Kaijian raised Li Ye and his older sister, Li Yue, alone for over a decade, until Li Ye finally married Han Chunmei after entering high school.
Then came Li Juan, Li Ying, and Xiao Youan. There were so many things to worry about. For example, was the privatization of Qingshui Chemical intended to leave some assets for Xiao Youan?
Now the Li family has two male heirs in the third generation. The eldest son, Li Ye, has a promising future, having reached this level at a young age. His mother, Fu Guiru, is still overseas building up the family business for her children and grandchildren.
In comparison, the younger son, You'an, is quite lacking. Although his elder brother, Li Ye, and sister-in-law, Wen Leyu, are very generous and have stated that their younger brother will receive a share of the family fortune,
But the father ultimately felt that it was only right for his son to take his money, but not so right to take his elder brother's money. That's why Li Kaijian has been working hard to develop Qingshui Chemical in the past two years, so busy that even Wu Juying rarely comes to visit.
"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore. Li Ye, call Xiao Juan and ask if she's coming home for dinner tonight. If not, we'll eat first."
"What?"
Li Ye and Li Kaijian were both very surprised, because Wu Juying's words were clearly tinged with anger.
At this moment, Han Chunmei said awkwardly, "I just called Xiaojuan again, but she didn't answer. Grandma called her too, but she didn't answer either. Xiaoye, could you call her? She listens to you the most."
When did Li Juan's younger sister develop such a bad temper?
Li Ye couldn't help but feel a little worried.
[What's wrong, is Xiaojuan afraid of being exposed? Could this brat have really found some shady blond guy?]
Li Ye didn't dial Li Juan's number, but instead dialed Ni Dashen's.
"Hey Lao Ni, what important meeting do you have at work today? The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and my sister is stuck at work. The whole family is waiting to celebrate her birthday!"
"Oh? Is today Li Juan's birthday? I'll send her back right away."
"No, no, wait a minute."
Li Ye interrupted Ni Dashen and asked, "Do you really have an important meeting today? If so, that's fine. We can keep business and personal matters separate."
"It's not a meeting today, it's..."
After a few hesitant seconds of silence, Ni Dashen said in a low voice, "Li Ye, what you were worried about last time has happened. I've selected a few technicians who know him well, and they're trying their best to persuade him."
Li Ye didn't react for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "I have many things to worry about. Which one are you referring to?"
Master Ni sighed and said, "It's Wu Zhengyan. After you reminded me last time, I sent him on a long business trip, thinking I'd deal with it later."
However, the day before yesterday, he took the opportunity to secretly copy a copy of the research data. After being discovered, he tried to argue that he took it back for research, but we have strict confidentiality regulations.”
Li Ye immediately remembered Wu Zhengyan, whom Ni Dashen had mentioned the last time they met.
At the time, it was because his daughter had a conflict with other children at school over "lions and tigers." Li Ye then asked Li Juan about Xu Lingmiao, the Chinese consultant at Microsoft, and Li Juan said that she was very close to Wu Zhengyan.
Li Ye was a very vigilant person. He knew that Xu Lingmiao looked down on the "foolish boys" from the mainland from the bottom of her heart. So, in order to prevent the other party from having other intentions, he reminded Ni Dashen in advance.
Master Ni clearly took it to heart and made the corresponding arrangements, but unexpectedly, he still couldn't prevent it.
Li Ye said in a deep voice, "Then what do you decide to do?"
Ni Dashen took a breath and said firmly, "We are making a final effort. If he doesn't confess tonight, we will report it tomorrow and handle it strictly in accordance with the relevant regulations."
"Okay, you know what to do. The roads are covered in snow now. I'll pick up Xiaojuan in an hour."
Li Ye hung up the phone and then said to Wu Juying, "Grandma, we misunderstood Xiao Juan. There seems to be a leak at her workplace, and they're dealing with it urgently right now!"
Wu Juying exclaimed in surprise, "What? No wonder the child isn't answering the phone! It's just that this old woman is getting senile!"
"Hey, who would have thought this would happen! Let's eat first! After we eat, I'll go pick up Xiaojuan. The snow is getting heavier and heavier; the roads will definitely be slippery."
"Okay, you can eat a couple of bites and then go."
...
When Li Ye said, "I'll pick up Li Juan in an hour," Ni Dashen's heart sank completely.
The hour that Li Ye gave was actually a final deadline for Wu Zhengyan.
If Wu Zhengyan doesn't confess, then Pan Xiaoying will definitely find out.
Given Pan Xiaoying's ruthlessness and decisiveness, will Wu Zhengyan have a good outcome?
So after finishing his conversation with Li Ye, Master Ni didn't waste a minute. He returned to the small conference room and gave Wu Zhengyan a stern reprimand.
"Xiao Wu, don't try to deny it in front of so many colleagues today. Everyone here is an expert; those who know, know. Just be honest and we'll handle this internally."
"Internal handling? Heh, what do you want to do with me?"
Wu Zhengyan raised his head and said resentfully to Ni Dashen, "Haven't you dealt with me enough these past few months? I'm the deputy leader of the technical research and development team, but I've been sent all over the country to do maintenance, and then you give the credit to others."
"Wu Zhengyan, watch your words."
Ni Dashen coldly retorted, "Whether it's research projects or system maintenance, it's all normal work for technical personnel. I told you before that once this busy period is over, your salary and job title will be resolved."
"Salary and job level? How much of a raise can you give me? Tens of thousands of dollars a year?"
Wu Zhengyan interrupted Master Ni with a cold laugh, then suddenly pointed at Li Juan and said, "What level can you raise me to? Can you raise me to the same level as Li Juan, or as fast as Li Juan?"
“.”
The crowd was stunned for a moment, then erupted in a chorus of boos.
"Wow, tens of thousands of dollars a year? Xiao Wu, are you crazy?"
"Yeah, I saw Xiao Wu whispering with that guy surnamed Xu the other day, and I knew Xiao Wu was about to lose his composure. He's seeing other people going abroad to earn US dollars, and he can't stand it anymore, right?"
“.”
Ni Dashen said with exasperation, "Xiao Wu, do you still remember what you said when you joined the crew? We were going to give everything for the development of the country, but why have you become so vain? So fond of comparing yourself to others?"
"Am I vain? Am I trying to keep up with others?"
Wu Zhengyan sneered, "The watch Li Juan is wearing is worth fifty thousand US dollars. Why don't you say she's vain? Li Juan has only been working for a few years, but she's already been promoted higher than me. Why do you think I shouldn't be comparing myself to her?"
“.”
"What? Xiao Li's watch is worth fifty thousand dollars? Really?"
"I don't know? Li usually seems quite frugal, it's unlikely, isn't it?"
“.”
Everyone looked at Li Juan, and at the watch she was wearing.
Li Juan glanced coldly at Wu Zhengyan, took off her watch and threw it on the table as casually as if she were throwing away a piece of trash.
“I bought a high-quality counterfeit from Pengcheng for 650 yuan. Here’s 600 yuan, take it.”
“.”
"High-quality counterfeit goods? What are high-quality counterfeit goods?"
"Hey, so it's a knock-off, huh?"
"Isn't this a counterfeit?"
"Hmm, but a fake item costs over six hundred yuan, so it doesn't seem bad."
"Tch, even if it's not bad, it's still fake. Who would want a fake one?"
“.”
