Chapter 182: You Actually Learned to Guess the Superior's Intentions

After Li Ye went on stage, he performed a traditional martial arts program—the long spear.

Although Li Zhongfa mainly had Li Ye practice bayonet fighting since he was a child, the old things passed down by his ancestors hadn't been lost either.

Li Ye added some flashy, empty aerial movements—high, floating, and handsome—and he thrust the spear fiercely, as if every thrust was life-threatening, immediately drawing cheers from everyone.

This was just like Taekwondo in later generations. In terms of combat effectiveness, it absolutely couldn't compare to boxing, Sanda, and other combat sports.

But it just became popular in the Central Plains.

The key point was that "the movements must be handsome."

Ask yourself, does a boy like the fierce and sharp Zhang Weili? Or does he like a Taekwondo girl who can kick toward the sky with one leg and is flexible enough to do a 360-degree aerial split?

Or, does a girl like the dark and strong Tyson, or does she like the free and easy Ip Man?

Whether it was Mu Yunning, Wen Leyu, or Zhen Rongrong, they all liked Li Ye playing with the flashy spear.

Especially Mu Yunning, who felt that Li Ye was more hardworking and handsome today than yesterday; he really gave her a lot of face.

But this thought was shattered into pieces when Li Ye proposed "help."

"You want to ask for a week off? Didn't you say you only wanted two days?"

Mu Yunning said this almost with a "roar."

"Teacher, according to the customs of us Dongshan people, when I say I'll find you in two days, or I'll go out to play for two days, this 'two days' actually means a few days, it's not fixed..."

"Are you playing smart with me? The final exam is starting in a few days, and you want to go out and play for two days now?"

Mu Yunning was like an enraged lioness, not listening to Li Ye's sophistry at all.

If a student wanted to use this kind of little trick to manipulate her, Mu Yunning, then he had miscalculated.

But Li Ye said in a calm and sincere tone: "Teacher Mu, I really have some urgent matters to attend to. Whether you approve my leave or not, I have to leave for a few days to help out!"

"."

Mu Yunning almost couldn't catch her breath. What do you mean by "whether you approve or not, I have to leave for a few days"? Do you not know the consequences of skipping class?

But she immediately recalled Li Ye's deep, water-like appearance just now and imagined a series of plot points.

Since Li Ye entered school half a year ago, he had always been free and easy. Mu Yunning had never seen such a deep Li Ye.

After a long time, Mu Yunning said: "I can approve your leave, but I cannot guarantee what kind of evaluation the teaching professor will give you. You had better go tell Professor Zhang."

"Also, is it convenient to say what happened? I'll see if the school can provide you with some help."

Li Ye shook his head calmly and said: "Thank you, Teacher Mu, I can solve it myself. A piece of cake."

Yangcheng, railway station.

When Hao Jian, who came to pick him up, saw Li Ye squeezing out of the crowd with Wang Jianqiang, Jiang Hong, and four retired soldiers with sharp gazes, he couldn't help but have four words pop into his mind—cleaning up the house.

Hao Jian led Li Ye onto the Pengcheng Seventh Factory's small truck and said quite apologetically: "Brother Li Ye, I didn't expect to trouble you to come in person. Actually, as long as you make it clear to us, everyone guarantees they can solve it according to your requirements."

Li Ye didn't answer, but touched the half-new, half-old seat of the small truck and said faintly: "How did you become a deputy factory director? Sanshui is already driving a small sedan, so why are you still sitting in a truck?"

"Hi, I just feel that the truck is practical! But we will definitely have a sedan to sit in next year. I've already queued up for a number; if it's fast, it's hard to say about this year."

"Then you have to be careful; otherwise, people might think Sanshui is the one in charge here in Yangcheng, and you are his subordinate!"

"."

Hao Jian completely understood Li Ye's meaning. This was blaming him for not fulfilling his duty as the boss of the "Yangcheng area" and managing Sanshui, his subordinate.

Although Sanshui was Jin Peng's person, Hao Jian was the person in charge sitting in the south. If Sanshui had problems, he had to take responsibility for poor supervision.

What's more, Hao Jian might not have failed to monitor Sanshui's problems in time; he just harbored certain thoughts and deliberately delayed for two months.

"Brother Li Ye, there are a few words I want to say to you alone."

"Fine, find a place to park ahead and let them get off."

The small truck stopped on the side of a quiet road, and only Li Ye and Hao Jian remained in the truck.

"Brother Li Ye, I realized Sanshui might have problems in early November because he spent money too casually and too generously. Then I asked Zhou Lijuan to check the old accounts of the wholesale department..."

"Sanshui's accounts aren't a big problem because he filled the money in. According to Zhou Lijuan's analysis, it would at most be a fine or detention, and people might not even be willing to care. And as for the smuggling, we have no evidence."

"You had no evidence and delayed for two months, letting Sanshui grow the smuggling business?"

Li Ye said sternly: "Have you ever thought that once Sanshui's smuggling is exposed, it will implicate all of us? You are providing funds for the crime; those handling the case won't listen to your innocent explanations."

"I made some arrangements," Hao Jian licked his lips and said: "When the Pengcheng Seventh Factory was established through affiliation, I isolated it from the wholesale business in Yangcheng. The two sides have no connection."

"The registrant of the Yangcheng wholesale department is Jin Peng. As long as he cancels the business license now, even if Sanshui has an accident in the future, without accounts or a unit, we can clear our relationship."

Li Ye looked at Hao Jian with a cold face for a few seconds and then said: "Hao Jian, do you really think you can clear it?"

"This is the cleanest way I can think of."

Hao Jian lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then said: "Brother Li Ye, actually, even if I don't say it, you can guess that I delayed Sanshui's matter for two months... it was intentional."

"Sanshui came to Yangcheng with Jin Peng and me at the beginning. He contributed to our business. Later, every time I argued with him, he would use 'sweat and horse merit' as an excuse."

"I don't listen to that set of his, but Jin Peng will. If I had called Jin Peng and you, Brother Li Ye, two months ago, what do you think Jin Peng would have done to Sanshui?"

Hao Jian sighed and said: "Brother Li Ye, do you remember that night in Pengcheng during the summer?"

"Actually, the day you promised Jin Peng 'this is the last time,' I felt you were too soft-hearted. Sanshui is a disaster."

"The day after the incident, I arranged for people to notify everyone in our sales channels not to touch any smuggled goods, so the business Sanshui is doing is a newly paved path, and it really has nothing to do with us."

Li Ye said faintly: "So, from that time on, you were waiting for Sanshui to make a mistake?"

Hao Jian didn't deny it, but asked Li Ye back: "Brother Li Ye, doesn't what I did conform to your original intention?"

During the summer, Li Ye took Ma Qianshan, Zou Zhiguo, and other newcomers to Pengcheng and took a trip to Zhongying Street.

That night, Sanshui used "watching dancing" as an excuse to drag Ma Qianshan and the others to go get some meat, and they were almost caught by the people doing the big inspection.

Under those circumstances, if they had been caught by people, Li Ye's commercial startup team might not exist right now.

At that time, Jin Peng beat Sanshui up and then pleaded with Li Ye, which was why Li Ye said "this is the last time."

At that time, Li Ye indeed wanted to fire Sanshui on the spot, and in the end, he did consider Jin Peng's brotherhood and gave Sanshui a chance.

At that time, Hao Jian was watching from the side, silent and expressing no opposition, but unexpectedly, from that time on, Hao Jian was "guessing the superior's intentions," waiting to clean up Sanshui.

Li Ye couldn't help but laugh.

He knew Hao Jian was a smart person, so that night, he told Hao Jian and Jin Peng about "benefiting the country and the people" and not allowing them to touch smuggling.

With Hao Jian's shrewdness, he couldn't say he could completely contain Sanshui, but if there was any movement, he should always be able to discover it in time, right?

But unexpectedly, Hao Jian actually had the potential of an old silver coin, dragging it out for two months just to completely block Jin Peng's mouth, and he even felt that he had followed Li Ye's wishes.

Seeing Li Ye laughing without speaking, Hao Jian said again: "Brother Li Ye, let me do this thing! If you handle it, it might hurt the feelings between you brothers."

Li Ye looked at Hao Jian, who was wearing a suit and leather shoes at the moment, and seemed to see the guy who had just defected to him and had some potential to be a bootlicker.

He was currently in school and couldn't handle many things personally, so he really needed someone sensible to do it.

But this time, no.

"Let Jin Peng handle Sanshui's matter himself."

"Let Jin Peng handle it himself?" Hao Jian smacked his lips and said: "Brother Li Ye, what if Jin Peng is soft-hearted again this time?"

"If Jin Peng can't make a move, then let him leave too," Li Ye said to Hao Jian with a faint smile: "If Jin Peng leaves, aren't you the boss with the most seniority? You won't be angry because of arguing with Jin Peng in the future either."

Hao Jian looked at Li Ye blankly and finally shook his head slowly.

"I admit, Jin Peng's temper doesn't match mine, and we often argue and compete."

"But at least I trust Jin Peng. Jin Peng would rather suffer a loss himself than harm us. If you replaced him with someone else to play mind games with me all day, I'd have to come to you to complain eight times a day, and I'd be annoyed to death by you."

"."

No one is perfect. The soft-hearted Jin Peng actually won the highest trust of Hao Jian, this silver coin.

Not in a good state today, Old Feng will compensate with three chapters tomorrow and the day after.

Thanks to the book friend for the 1000-coin tip, thank you, big boss.
