Chapter 542

After Li Ye finished his meal at Wen Wen Leyu's house, he was caught by Pan Pan Xiaoying and interrogated for quite a while, discussing the possibility of bypassing overseas to connect telecommunications with the other side of the strait.

"I can only say that analyzing it theoretically, it's certainly not difficult, but whether it's worth trying is something that needs to be weighed by professionals like you, Sister Pan. After all, this isn't just a technical issue."

The idea of "bypassing" to connect the two sides of the strait might not be very difficult to implement, but no one on the mainland had tried it yet, so whoever could be the first to eat the crab might get the highest return.

And according to what Li Ye knew, in the original history, the first call between the two sides was achieved by the mainland bypassing through the Kangaroo Country.

It's just that the current relationship between the two sides is complex; whether it can be done is one thing, and whether one dares to do it is another.

Pan Pan Xiaoying indeed began to ponder, clearly considering the pros and cons.

Li Ye looked at her expression and continued, "I heard that the Gui Province Film Studio is producing *Bloody Battle of Taierzhuang*, a film reflecting the frontal combat of the Nationalist Army. It's estimated to be released next year, and it's said to have significant united front value..."

Li Ye spoke about the situation of *Bloody Battle of Taierzhuang* and cautiously analyzed that this film might cause a slight ripple in the stagnant cross-strait relations.

If Li Ye happened to be right, then connecting telecommunications between the two sides at this time would be even more meaningful.

Pan Pan Xiaoying was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Ye squarely again.

A few seconds later, she smiled and said, "Little brother, I think you're better suited for working in government agencies; going into manufacturing is really a waste of your talents."

"Working in government agencies?"

Li Ye smiled noncommittally.

Pan Pan Xiaoying felt that Li Ye had a keen political sense and was best suited for government work, but Li Ye himself couldn't be sure if he was good material for it.

What kind of place is a government agency? What kind of experts are there, and how deep is the water inside?

*County Party Committee Compound* is just one county; if you go up a few more levels... what kind of hell-level dungeon is that?

Goodness, just writing a few extra sentences on the internet can get an entire book "404'd"!

And even if Li Ye had enough political sense and certainly knew the general trends, being careful wouldn't let him fall into a ditch, but the development period for working in government agencies was too long.

If you want to do what you want to do, you can't even think about it at a low rank, and even if everything goes smoothly, you have to wait until you're forty to reach the bureau level.

Look at Pan Pan Xiaoying and Wen Wen Guohua; people with their strength who want to cross the bureau-level threshold are all trying hard to seize every opportunity. If you don't compete with others, where will your share come from?

As long as you want to move up, as long as you take action to compete with others, will it still be smooth sailing?

If you don't drown, it's because you're capable.

And wanting to reach the level of Teacher Ke and Wen Wen Qingsheng is not just a matter of strength; it depends on the will of Heaven.

So according to Li Ye's requirements, wanting to work in government agencies means there's no way to reach the golden path without twenty years of enduring thorns.

Although the other path seems a bit lower in status, there are no absolutes in the world; it just depends on how far you go.

Not to mention state-owned enterprises, just take private enterprises; the father-in-law of a certain future female billionaire was bureau-level, but her son took her surname, so who is worse off than whom?

It's just that Li Ye smiled and said nothing, while Wen Wen Leyu slammed down her chopsticks and glared at Pan Pan Xiaoying.

"Sister Pan Xiaoying, let Li Ye decide for himself where he wants to go!"

And Teacher Ke also glanced at Pan Pan Xiaoying, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly.

Seeing this, Pan Pan Xiaoying hurriedly stuck out her tongue and teased, "Eh, eh, eh, I was just saying. Actually, where Li Ye goes in the future will definitely still be decided by Uncle Wen and Aunt Ke, right?"

Teacher Ke smiled and said, "That still depends on Li Ye's opinion. But with his cleverness, he can make something of himself wherever he goes; it's the same whoever decides."

But Wen Wen Qingsheng looked at Li Ye and said seriously, "I really do want to decide for you once. Li Ye, how about coming to COFCO?"

Li Ye was stunned and smiled, nodding.

At 8:30 in the evening, Li Ye said his goodbyes and left early. He lived in Zaojunmiao, dozens of kilometers away, and there would be no buses if he was late.

As a result, after Wen Wen Leyu saw Li Ye out, she grabbed the keys and went to start her brother Wen Wen Guohua's car.

Li Ye hurriedly stopped her: "Don't drink and drive, don't drive and drink. Xiaoyu, you wouldn't break the law knowingly, would you?"

Wen Wen Leyu blinked and asked, puzzled: "Does lady champagne count as alcohol? And drinking and driving is at most a traffic violation, how could it be as serious as breaking the law?"

Li Ye said very firmly: "It counts, it must count. Whether it's a traffic violation or breaking the law, it's playing with your own life and the lives of others. So... how about you ride your bike and take me to the station?"

Wen Wen Leyu narrowed her eyes and smiled, pushing out her "28-inch" bicycle.

This bicycle carried the most beautiful memories of the two of them!

Wen Wen Leyu got on the bike, and after Li Ye skillfully jumped onto the back seat, she stretched out her two long legs and pedaled hard.

The bicycle traveled lightly on the summer night streets. Li Ye hugged Wen Wen Leyu's slender waist, thinking about learning from her and dangling his legs, but accidentally dragged them on the ground.

Having legs that are too long has its downsides too!

When the bicycle was almost at the bus stop, Wen Wen Leyu suddenly said: "Li Ye, you just agreed to my dad... do you feel comfortable in your heart?"

Li Ye was hugging Wen Wen Leyu's waist, enjoying the feeling of "a waist that can be grasped in one hand," but didn't expect Wen Wen Leyu to suddenly blurt that out, and for a moment, he didn't even react.

Wen Wen Leyu continued: "If you don't feel comfortable, I'll go tell my dad. You can go wherever you want; you don't need them to boss you around."

"I know you like a free life. Although my parents certainly have your best interests at heart, they are ultimately manipulating your life."

Little sister, are you looking after my self-esteem? But I'm not that kind of phoenix man with extreme self-esteem; I'm a diamond-level salted fish!

Li Ye finally understood and said with a smile: "Xiaoyu, why do you say that? When I agreed to Uncle Wen just now, I wasn't unwilling at all!"

COFCO is different from the grain reserves; it has businesses in trade, industry, finance, and even real estate, so Li Ye would definitely have a place to put his talents to use after going there.

Wen Wen Leyu looked back at Li Ye, then continued riding until they reached the bus stop.

Then she got off the bike, looked into Li Ye's eyes, and said: "The most important thing in life is to be comfortable. Don't wrong yourself for anyone, and don't feel like going to my dad's unit is taking the back door. Any unit would be fighting to have you..."

Li Ye looked at the earnest Wen Wen Leyu and finally understood her heart.

The little sister is a smart person. They've been dating for so long, and they've even had physical intimacy; she had long since seen that Li Ye likes to be "comfortable."

And with Li Ye's background, would he be willing to go be a small section member under her father?

Li Ye smiled and said very seriously: "Isn't it comfortable to go to COFCO? With Uncle Wen covering for me, it's even convenient to slack off!"

"Slack off?"

Wen Wen Leyu looked at Li Ye suspiciously, not quite understanding the meaning of slacking off.

Li Ye touched her head and said: "I've said it before, it doesn't matter where I work, as long as I'm close to you.

By then, I can drive you to work, pick you up after work, and even take the kids to kindergarten. No one will care if I'm late or leave early. Just thinking about it is beautiful."

So slacking off means not being ambitious!

Wen Wen Leyu finally understood Li Ye's meaning.

Lying flat in a state-owned enterprise is indeed very comfortable.

Wen Wen Leyu was shy for a long time, her little face red, and she blurted out a sentence.

"I'll take the kids... as long as you feel comfortable, that's fine."

Li Ye caught the bus back to Zaojunmiao. Before he even reached the entrance, he saw Pavlov leading two puppies, three black shadows running toward him, wagging their tails at him.

Pavlov is now a dog with a family, and a good husband at that. Not only does he often drag things to his wife's house, but he also brought his two children back to Li Ye's courtyard to raise.

In this day and age, no family has extra food. When puppies are young, eating chaff and vegetables affects their bone development.

"Don't run too far at night, just hang around the house! There are dog thieves now, and you're not allowed to eat things fed by others..."

Li Ye chatted nonsense with Pavlov while walking back to his own door, and then he saw his sister Li Xia Yue's car parked outside.

And Pavlov also obediently ran under the car to lie down. It turns out he was in charge of watching the car today!

Li Ye was a bit strange. Yang Yang Yumin went home today; shouldn't his sister be back living in Zhongguancun?

After entering the courtyard, Li Ye heard Li Xia Yue and Fu Fu Yiruo whispering in the room, as if his sister was constantly interrogating their mother, Fu Fu Guiru, about her opinion of Yang Yang Yumin.

Every girl hopes to marry a husband that everyone envies. If the family is not satisfied, she will never feel at ease in her heart.

And Fu Fu Yiruo swore that their mother was very satisfied with Yang Yang Yumin as a son-in-law, 100% satisfied.

She couldn't say that Fu Fu Guiru was a face-control person; after all, Yang Yang Yumin was considered decent-looking. Their mother just had too high standards.

Sure enough, hearing that their mother was very satisfied with Yang Yang Yumin, sister Li Xia Yue felt much more at ease. She chatted and laughed with Fu Fu Yiruo, even saying they would sleep together tonight and chat all night.

"Hey, Li Ye, you're back? I happen to have something to tell you."

Hearing the sound of Li Ye opening the door and entering, sister Li Xia Yue knew Li Ye was back, so she walked over with light steps.

Li Ye asked: "What's wrong, sister? What's the matter?"

Li Xia Yue whispered: "Dad called me yesterday. In a few days, Yang Xiaojuan and Zhao Meiwen are coming to the capital for school. When you were at home, did you say you would leave a room for Yang Xiaojuan in this courtyard?"

Li Ye nodded: "There are still two empty rooms in the west wing; just tidy one up for her."

Li Ye had said that the Zaojunmiao courtyard was Li Xia Yue's maiden home, so there had always been a room for Li Xia Yue in the courtyard. Later, after Fu Fu Yiruo came, Li Ye also tidied up a room for her.

Now that Li Juan is coming, if you say there isn't a room for her, wouldn't that cause trouble in her heart?

You can't distinguish too clearly between biological and step-siblings.

Sister Li Xia Yue licked her lips and said: "Then later, when Xiaoruo and Yang Xiaojuan meet more often, won't it... leak sooner or later?"

Li Ye was silent.

There are no walls that don't leak in the world. After long-term contact, the truth of the matter will leak out sooner or later.

However, what Li Ye and Li Xia Yue discussed at the beginning was that they must hide it until Han Han Chunmei's child gets into college, and they couldn't delay the studies of the two younger sisters.

Now Li Juan has already gotten into Jing University, and the youngest sister Li Ying has also entered high school and has learned the skills of doing business. Han Han Chunmei's life will be fine no matter how she lives it.

As for what kind of result it will evolve into in the future, Li Ye and Li Xia Yue have done their best and have a clear conscience.

"Sigh."

Li Xia Yue sighed and said: "Actually, the most miserable one is our dad!"

Li Ye nodded. The last person to know about this matter will definitely be Li Kaijian. By then, who knows whose belt he will use to whip whom!

He can't beat his grandfather, he doesn't dare to beat his mother, and it's impossible for sister Li Xia Yue, as she has a baby. Counting it up, how come it seems like only Li Ye is the unlucky one...
