Chapter 615

Every year at the end of June, at the Beijing Railway Station, there is always a group of young people gathered on the platform, crying "very disappointingly," shedding tear after tear like children who aren't afraid of losing face.

But everyone in the station wouldn't mock them, because they were all university graduates saying goodbye to their classmates. A parting here might mean never seeing each other again.

Li Ye was also in the farewell group. Seventeen classmates from their class stayed in the capital this year, while more people could only drift away like dandelion seeds, going to another place to take root and grow again.

Some classmates left after getting their dispatch certificates, without even eating the "graduation breakup meal" among classmates.

And the remaining classmates would most likely have a good cry on the platform.

"Monitor, Old Pu, Li Ye... don't forget me, don't forget me! Wuwuwu~"

When the train slowly pulled away from the platform, several classmates retreated behind the train windows to wipe their own tears, not wanting Li Ye, Chen Xiaoling, and the others to see their loneliness.

And He Dazhuang, who had always presented himself as a tough guy, leaned more than half of his body out of the train window, crying his eyes out, repeatedly urging the classmates who stayed in the capital not to forget him, their fellow student.

Even Li Ye, who didn't have much of a liking for He Dazhuang, waved at him, giving him polite comfort.

It wasn't a feud of killing one's father or stealing one's wife; at this time, don't sprinkle salt on his wounds.

When the train had traveled quite far, suddenly another boy also leaned out of the train window, shouting with all his might toward Li Ye, Chen Xiaoling, and the others.

"Chen Xiao... ling... I like you..."

But it was a bit against the wind today, so Chen Xiaoling couldn't hear clearly, so she asked Li Ye: "What is Yang Ye shouting?"

Chen Xiaoling was very familiar with Li Ye and knew his ears were particularly sharp.

Li Ye said softly: "Yang Ye said he likes you."

Chen Xiaoling looked at Li Ye blankly, and after a long while, she said incredulously: "You didn't hear wrong, did you?"

"."

Yang Ye was a fair-skinned and shy boy, sometimes feeling even quieter than girls. He wrote a good hand and played table tennis very well.

Although there was no concept of "flower boy" at this time, Yang Ye was still quite popular with girls in school.

But Yang Ye had never had any "scandals" with any girl. Who would have thought that at this moment of graduation and parting, he would shout such a thing at Chen Xiaoling.

Hearing Chen Xiaoling's questioning, Li Ye jokingly asked: "Should we chase after them and ask? I came by car. As long as you are willing, we can catch up with them at the next station, and you can ask Yang Ye yourself what he shouted at you just now."

The maximum average speed of the train at this time was only sixty kilometers per hour. As long as Li Ye's Santana ran for its life, it was much more reliable than a Cadillac chasing a high-speed train.

But after Chen Xiaoling was silent for a moment, she laughed and shook her head slowly.

【Sigh, there are always some fools who are harmed by their own reserve and silently miss the flowering season.】

The day after seeing off all the classmates, Li Ye took his reporting documents and headed to the Beijing Light Automobile Company.

Because it was a joint venture company based on the Haidian Automobile Plant, Hong Kong and COFCO were only the investors, so the newly established company was still in Haidian. And because it had just been established not long ago, many places just had a sign added, appearing a bit chaotic.

Li Ye couldn't figure out the situation, so he planned to ask the security guard first.

In every state-owned enterprise's security guard room, there were those few idle old men. When Li Ye was still seven or eight meters away from the main entrance, an old man poked his head out of the window.

"Young man, are you here to report?"

"..., Uncle, how did you know I was here to report?"

Li Ye was really a bit curious. His joining the Light Automobile Company this time could be said to be very low-key; how could he be recognized?

Li Ye came to the Light Automobile Company, one to "gain seniority," and two to really learn the ropes.

If you want to run an enterprise well, of course, you must first understand its difficulties and needs, and then solve them properly after various trade-offs. If you follow the textbook and cut everything with one knife, you will most likely cause a major hemorrhage.

But if Li Ye had come under the banner of Hong Kong Ceres or COFCO, he would have become an "investor," so many things within the unit might not be deeply understood.

So Li Ye was directly assigned to the Light Automobile Company, first to "grind" at the grassroots level for half a year or six months, to pave the way for the next plan.

The old man watching the gate saw Li Ye's strange look and smiled, not finding it strange: "At this time every year, there are always large and medium-sized technical school students assigned here to report. You children have a special smell on you; I can smell it from far away."

"Uncle, you have a good eye. This is my reporting document. Could you help me see which department I should go to for the entry procedures?"

Li Ye complimented the security guard uncle and then showed his documents to the other party.

After the uncle took it, he stretched his hand forward and tilted his head back, increasing the distance between his eyes and the reporting documents. Obviously, his eyes were a bit blurry, and he couldn't see clearly up close.

Then he said in surprise: "..., you graduated from Peking University? And you studied World Economics?"

Li Ye nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he saw several people who were chatting in the security room stand up.

"Peking University? Which Peking University?"

"What other Peking University? Just the one in Zhongguancun!"

"Hiss, a Peking University graduate assigned to us? Have university students become so worthless these years? How come I heard that for the past two years, they were all assigned to units like ministries?"

"What do you mean worthless! Didn't you hear that they studied World Economics? We are a joint venture company now, and we need this kind of university student who understands foreign languages."

"And maybe they can get double wages from Hong Kong! It's much more than the peanuts we get here. I wouldn't trade it even for a section chief in a ministry, right?"

"You're just a blockhead. Economics majors have no use in a unit like ours. The State Planning Commission, the Ministry of Finance, banks, and large state-owned enterprises are where they should go."

"You're the blockhead! I know someone who studied physics and was assigned to the General Office as a secretary. You tell me what use his physics knowledge has..."

"."

"Little brother, don't listen to them. I'll take you to handle the reporting procedures."

Several security personnel in the security room started arguing with each other, and the old man who was holding Li Ye's documents simply walked out and led Li Ye to report to the factory office.

After arriving at the factory office, the uncle shouted in a loud voice: "Director Lu, there's a university student assigned here, a graduate from Peking University."

"Peking University? It's been some years since we've had a student from Peking University, right?"

"One came in the sixties, but was transferred away very quickly."

The colleagues inside were also surprised, and soon it alarmed other departments upstairs.

【Hey, hey, hey, our unit just had a student from Peking University assigned here, a man, one meter eighty tall, super handsome!】

【You say everyone is super handsome; I don't believe you.】

【I'm not lying to you this time, he's a circle handsomer than Lin Qiang and Tang Guoqiang.】

【Let's go, let's go see.】

However, these people didn't say anything about being "worthless," but were very interested in Li Ye's personal affairs.

Especially several middle-aged sisters, looking at the handsome Li Ye, asked seven or eight questions in one breath.

"Little Li, you're from Dongshan, right? Are you used to living in our capital? How many people are in your family? What do your mom and dad do? Do you have a partner yet..."

Li Ye smiled and showed a "shy" expression, filtering out most of the questions and only answering the ones the sisters cared about most.

"I have an older sister and a younger sister at home. My parents are ordinary workers. I have a partner, and we are getting married soon."

"You have a partner? And you're getting married soon?"

A sister looked at Li Ye in surprise, then chuckled and said: "Little Li, where is your partner from? Have you met the girl's parents? You can't just think that because you made vows in school, you can really become husband and wife!"

"."

Before Li Ye could answer, Director Lu of the factory office joked and introduced: "This is Sister Mai from our unit's labor union. You can't bypass her management if you want to get married."

The labor union chairman indeed had a lot to do with the workers' marriages, such as borrowing the lanterns hanging at the door, and the labor union could also offer opinions when applying for housing, feeling that you weren't qualified, which meant you weren't qualified.

So Li Ye answered very seriously: "Sister Mai, my partner is from the capital. Both our parents have met. I want to ask the unit to issue a marriage registration introduction letter after I join the job!"

"."

The people around were stunned, and the light in the eyes of several girls dimmed instantly.

This was like some products hanging in the Jingdong Mall; they looked within reach and were of good quality and low price, but when you clicked in, you just couldn't pay.

Then in the blink of an eye, it had already been bought out by someone else.

"Oh my, then I'm useless! I was still thinking about the fellowship meeting with the brother unit next month, hoping to suppress their momentum! Sigh... it's really a pity."

Li Ye smiled and said: "How can it be useless? Sister Mai, I'm applying to join the labor union. Once I settle down, I'll submit the application to you."

"You write a note now, and I'll approve it for you right now."

Sister Mai laughed heartily: "When you have set the date for your wedding, remember to come to me to get the benefits! And remember to ask Director Lu to apply for housing. Although the housing in our unit isn't considered tight, it also emphasizes first come, first served."

"Hahahaha, the manager has already given instructions: special things for university students, handle them specially, give priority to care. Li Ye, just come find me after you get your marriage certificate."

It must be said that the new colleagues Li Ye met when he first arrived at the unit all seemed good, at least they didn't have an attitude of putting on airs.

It's just that Li Ye still said sheepishly: "That... no need... my wedding house is already prepared. Thank you, Director Lu, thank you, Sister Mai!"

Sister Mai was stunned for a moment and asked suspiciously: "Li Ye, aren't you from Dongshan? How come you have a house in the capital?"

Li Ye smiled and said: "My wife has a house in the capital. It's not big, but it's enough to live in."

Li Ye was right; the house on Fuyou Street was bought in Wen Leyu's name.

"Oh~"

Sister Mai suddenly understood something and then smiled: "Li Ye, you are too fast! You just graduated, and everything is ready, just waiting to have a baby?"

"Hahahaha~"

The people around laughed, and several people whispered: "This Little Li wouldn't have been recruited as a live-in son-in-law, would he?"

"Growing up like this, and a graduate from Peking University, if it were me, I would also recruit him as a son-in-law."

"Forget it! You recruit a live-in son-in-law? Does your family have a house?"

"I'll give him my house, and I'll rent a house to live in myself."

"Well, I do have a suitable one here..."

"Go, go, go, you should keep that silly nephew of yours for yourself! There's a whole row of people wanting to chase my daughter..."
