Chapter 548: When You Are the One Who Calls the Shots

After being accused of only seeing "petty profits," Li Ye basically didn't participate in the discussions among the fellow disciples.

It wasn't that Li Ye was petty, but because he knew the answer, he was afraid of accidentally revealing too many heavenly secrets.

Revealing a little vaguely in words was fine, but revealing too much would only bring trouble to himself.

Zhang Laoshi, Yu Xiufen, Zou Mengcheng, and the others were all staunch Party members and absolute atheists. They couldn't worship Li Ye as a god like Pei Wencong and the others; they would only pursue the bottom and ask Li Ye "how did you guess it."

Seeing it was 8:30, Li Ye simply stood up and said, "Sorry, Teacher, I still have to go to Zaojunmiao to pick up my sister and girlfriend, so I'll leave first."

"Your sister?" Yu Xiufen was stunned and asked, "Li Ye, your sister came to Beijing? I remember you said she was taking the college entrance exam this year?"

"Yes," Li Ye nodded and said, "She is a freshman in our Beijing University Electronics Department."

"Is that so?" Yu Xiufen was surprised first, then smiled and said, "Your Li family's ancestral grave is really smoking blue smoke. Two university students in one family, and both are from Beijing University."

【Actually, we have three in our family!】

"Thank you, thank you. Our family's ancestral grave is directly on fire, the flames are three zhang high!"

"Hahahaha~"

Li Ye laughed while saying goodbye and leaving.

And Senior Brother Peng Rui also stood up afterward, "Teacher, I have to go back too. My wife is working the night shift today, and I'm not at ease if I don't go over to take a look."

Teacher Lu said hurriedly, "Eh, eh, Little Yuan is seven or eight months along, right? Then Mengcheng, you have to be a bit more attentive."

"Seven months plus. After next month, she won't have to work the night shift. I'm leaving, Teacher's wife."

Peng Rui's wife, Yuan Hongmin, was a doctor at Xiehe, but women didn't have such long maternity leave these days. Even if they were seven or eight months pregnant, they still had to work. At most, they wouldn't be arranged for night shifts in the last two months, which was considered taking care of them.

"Teacher, then we are leaving too..."

"Okay, go slowly on the road. Minying, you stay."

Seeing Li Ye and Peng Rui leaving, Yu Xiufen and her husband, and Zou Mengcheng, also said goodbye.

And little junior sister Cai Minying also wanted to leave, but was called back by Zhang Laoshi.

Li Ye and the others went downstairs, each got on their bicycles, and walked back in the night.

Peng Rui had to go to Xiehe Hospital, and Yu Xiufen and Zou Mengcheng had to return to the Zoo. Everyone was basically on the same way.

It's just that it was a few steps for Li Ye to Zaojunmiao, while it took nearly an hour for the others to ride their bicycles.

After walking not far, Zou Mengcheng suddenly asked, "Li Ye, today is the first time you met Cai Minying, right? Why did you start clashing as soon as you met?"

Li Ye said calmly, "Just a difference of opinion, doesn't count as clashing."

"This doesn't count as clashing?" Yu Xiufen laughed, "Didn't you notice your Senior Sister Cai's expression just now? If it weren't for the teacher suppressing it there, she could have argued with you all night tonight."

Li Ye shook his head, "It takes two to tango; if I don't take the bait, we can't argue."

"Hahahaha~"

"Li Ye, you've learned Old Wang's skills! Amazing, amazing. Your Senior Sister Yu was defeated by this move of Old Wang's."

Peng Rui and Zou Mengcheng laughed in unison, teasing Yu Xiufen and Wang Zhizhang.

Yu Xiufen has a sharp tongue and a short temper, while Wang Zhizuan is a silent type who doesn't say a word even when asked, so when the two of them argue, it basically ends up with Yu Xiufen getting anxious all by herself—a situation where it takes two to tango.

However, just as everyone was preparing to accept Yu Xiufen's scolding, the muffled gourd Wang Zhizhang said briefly and simply, "Minying is different from before. Today's matter can't be blamed on Li Ye."

"Sigh~"

Peng Rui and Zou Mengcheng were both silent. Yu Xiufen, who had already taken a breath, also let out a light sigh.

Three years of time can change a person, especially young people with strong plasticity.

And among the university students who went to the Lighthouse to study abroad in the eighties, how many hadn't been changed?

Compared to those who were greedy for prosperity and forgot their original intention, at least Cai Minying returned with a heart full of ambition!

It's just that Zou Mengcheng, Peng Rui, and others had been bumping into walls in the government for a few years and knew deeply that a young and vigorous child like Cai Minying would eventually have to suffer a loss and learn a lesson.

There were so many old and young people in the unit, and there were so many people with more seniority and bigger faces than you. You just joined the job and want to sit in the C-position by your ability?

Hehe~

Wang Zhizhang saw that everyone was silent and added a question, "Do you think Minying might be used as a gun..."

Everyone was even more silent. Yu Xiufen glared fiercely at her husband.

Even if everyone was a fellow disciple who talked about everything in the past, now that they have grown up, it's better not to talk about such things randomly.

"Vroom, vroom~"

Several fellow disciples were riding their bicycles in silence when the sound of a motorcycle engine came from behind. Everyone looked back, and the bright headlights were a bit dazzling.

Cai Minying chased up on her scooter and then rode parallel to Yu Xiufen.

However, after riding parallel to Yu Xiufen, she didn't speak, pouting her mouth and looking very unhappy.

Yu Xiufen teased and asked, "What, were you lectured by the teacher again?"

Cai Minying said unhappily, "The teacher has become timid in the past two years, always telling me to speak less and express fewer opinions. Then what is the significance of the country spending so much money to send me abroad?"

"The teacher is right,"

Yu Xiufen, who was smiling, became serious and said very earnestly, "Minying, you are the teacher's favorite student. Every word he says is for your own good. You should just look and listen more now, and then wait for the right opportunity."

Cai Minying suddenly turned her head and looked at Li Ye, saying unconvinced, "Now I am no longer the teacher's favorite student, and what is the right opportunity? How long do I have to wait?"

Yu Xiufen took a breath, pondering how to answer this little junior sister.

Although Cai Minying spoke more "aggressively" than before, there was still a deep friendship between her and several senior brothers and sisters, but there was no feeling for Li Ye, the latecomer.

However, Yu Xiufen couldn't speak, but the muffled gourd Wang Zhizhang said calmly, "Wait until you are the one who calls the shots."

Cai Minying: "..."

Li Ye couldn't help but want to laugh. Counting on Yu Xiufen to call the shots, wouldn't that take until the year of the monkey?

But reality is just like this.

Why did someone give that proposal to Zhang Qiyan today and ask if it was his opinion?

Because only the opinion of an industry bigwig Li Kezhang Qiyan could possibly make the higher-ups take a look and influence the higher-ups' decision-making to some extent. As for Cai Minying...

If we let a little girl call the shots, then what use are we old guys? ===== CHAPTER 549 =====
