Chapter 520

"Sister, how can you talk like that? I might be promoted to deputy factory director this year..."

Li Kaijian was retorted by his sister and was ultimately unconvinced, so he said things that hadn't been finalized yet.

But Li Mingyue immediately asked: "Then Kaijian, how old are you this year? You'll be a factory director at most in your life, right? Do you know how high Little Liu in the county can rise in his life?"

Li Kaijian opened his mouth and couldn't speak. His whole face turned red, not knowing if he had drunk too much today or was ashamed to the point of being unable to show his face.

He was a retired soldier. Although his seniority was very long, he couldn't compare with the cadres in the county. People might go to the city or even the province in the future, but Li Kaijian might stay in the county fertilizer factory for his whole life.

But the problem was that Little Liu was assigned in 1981, and now it was 1985. Could they be treated the same if they were both junior college graduates?

Undergraduate degrees in 1985 might not necessarily have the opportunities of junior college degrees in 1981.

"You two stop arguing."

Li Zhongfa glanced at Li Mingyue and said lightly: "Aiguo has an academic background and studied chemical engineering, so the fertilizer factory is a good match for his major. He will be promoted quickly in the future. Besides, you've already been assigned, what can I do?"

"Dad! Even if Aiguo made a mistake, he is still your own grandson! If we could have handled it for him, we wouldn't have come to beg you!"

Big Aunt Li Mingyue's voice was choked with sobs: "For so many years, I haven't begged you for anything. This is the last time, okay?"

"I know Aiguo offended Li Ye, but didn't I bring him here to apologize today?"

Li Mingyue pulled her son Cui Aiguo and pulled him in front of Li Ye: "Kneel down to your cousin and sincerely kowtow to apologize..."

Li Ye jumped to the side, more agile than a rabbit.

He had just watched Cui Aiguo lower his head and clench his fists, and he was actually going to kowtow to him.

No wonder Big Aunt called Li Ye over with a smile just now! It turned out she wanted Li Ye to "act" with his cousin and perform a kowtowing drama for Grandfather Li Zhongfa!

Listening to Big Aunt's tone, it seemed that they had already tried to handle it themselves before, but the connections weren't enough, and they didn't succeed, so they swallowed the "never see each other again" and came to the Li family's door again.

Li Mingyue was, after all, Li Zhongfa's own daughter, and this set would definitely work.

And if cousin kowtowed to cousin, with Big Aunt's mouth, who knows what it would be spread into in the future!

Three years of time really changed a lot of things. The child who was going to fight him to the death with his neck stiffened had actually learned to be flexible.

"Alright, stop making a scene."

Li Zhongfa said with a dark face: "I didn't say I wouldn't care, but don't play smart with me."

Li Mingyue hurriedly said: "Dad, we aren't playing smart. It's just that job assignment is a major event for a child's whole life. For the child's future, I am willing to apologize to Brother Xiao Ye."

"No need."

Li Zhongfa looked at Li Mingyue with a cold face, then said: "Tell me! Where do you want to be transferred? But don't even think about the county; I don't have that much ability."

Li Mingyue pursed her lips and said sheepishly: "Then let Little Yue's partner, or Li Ye's partner, handle it..."

"Bang~"

Li Zhongfa suddenly slapped the table and said sharply: "Don't you ever have ideas about the children again. Your son's future is important, so other people's futures aren't important?"

"Little Yue's partner just started working for a year, and you want him to learn to go through the back door? Let alone he doesn't have that ability, even if he did, he's not allowed to make mistakes!"

Li Mingyue was scolded by her father to the point of being unable to speak for a long time.

She wiped her tears, then said: "Then transfer him to the Grain Bureau! Uncle Hong of the City Grain Bureau is your old subordinate. You can solve this, right?"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem~"

Just as Li Mingyue finished speaking, she saw Li Ye, who was drinking water, coughing continuously.

She didn't know if Li Ye was really choking, so her face immediately became ugly.

Li Mingyue now saw Li Ye's weight in the Li family. As long as Li Ye opposed something, it basically couldn't be done.

However, after Li Ye recovered, he immediately said: "The Grain Bureau is quite good. The Grain Bureau is a good unit."

The reason Li Ye came in to listen to Big Aunt's nagging was actually to prevent his cousin from entering the Qingshui River Food Factory. That was his own factory; if he caused trouble, wouldn't he have to clean it up himself?

Bones are connected by tendons. If he messed up the instant noodle factory, could he kill him? Breaking his leg was just talk; Grandfather and Grandmother would stop Li Ye.

So as long as he didn't enter the instant noodle factory, he wouldn't oppose it.

And the current Grain Bureau was definitely a good unit.

If you don't believe it, listen to the jingle "First Commerce, Second Grain, Third Bank." The second one is the Grain Bureau.

In 1985, grain and oil still had to be supplied with grain coupons, but employees of the Grain Bureau could get scarce daily necessities like sesame oil, sesame paste, and rice without coupons.

As long as you were in the grain system, relatives and friends would smile at you all day, go through the back door to buy rations, and your social status would be very high, making it very easy to find a partner.

But by 1992, the grain circulation system was reformed, and the "vouchers" for the shortage economy, which had been used for 37 years, were finally canceled. The grain system fell from heaven to earth, and even the grain bureaus in many places didn't last until the millennium before closing down.

"Dad, then see when you can take Aiguo to Uncle Hong's house. They are starting to select young cadres now..."

"Also, you have been in the grain system for so many years and know so many friends. Can you arrange for everyone to have a meal together!"

Good fellow, Li Ye really underestimated Big Aunt's appetite.

He originally thought it was just arranging a good job, but he didn't expect she wanted to take over all of Li Zhongfa's connections in the grain system!

The cadres of the Grain Bureau at this time could also be promoted to the city or even the province.

"It's not even a shadow yet! Let's talk about it later!"

Li Zhongfa didn't agree to Li Mingyue, but he finally took on Cui Aiguo's job transfer.

Li Mingyue, who was tearful just now, immediately became energetic and slapped her son, who was lowering his head.

"Why don't you thank your grandfather? After you get to the Grain Bureau, even if you take over your grandfather's shift, you must maintain the relationships accumulated over so many years..."

"Hey, thank you, Grandfather. I will definitely work hard... Thank you, Cousin. Everything in the past was my fault. You are a great person who doesn't remember the villain's mistakes..."

Cui Aiguo had been clever since he was a child. Now that he had gotten his wish, he even thanked Li Ye.

The repeated setbacks these days finally made him understand that although his father was a "cadre with real power," when it came to handling things, he couldn't even compare to a fraction of his grandfather, a retired old man.

Li Zhongfa's connections were too wide. It was one thing not to use them usually, but if he really wanted to use them, he could find them by lifting his feet.

Similarly, he also understood that the weight of his grandson, compared to Li Ye, his own grandson, couldn't even compare to a fraction.

But fortunately, although Li Ye was admitted to Jingcheng University, he was still as silly as he was many years ago. He just apologized, and today he didn't even bend his knees, and he got his wish.

Thinking of this, Cui Aiguo couldn't help but look at Li Ye.

【Don't you even know how to seek the middle by seeking the top?】

【Silly is silly, a life of being played by others.】
