Chapter 641: This Retribution Came Too Fast

~10 min read 1,991 words

Li Ye got up in the morning, ate breakfast with his little wife, and after sending her to the unit, drove straight to Fangshan.

Fangshan is located 60 kilometers southwest of Beijing. In 1986, it was still a county, and it wasn't until after 1987 that it merged with another Yanshan District to become Fangshan District.

If Li Ye took the bus, these 60 kilometers would take two or three hours, but driving himself, he would arrive in an hour or so.

However, after Li Ye arrived, he didn't go straight to the Fangshan Auto Parts Factory, but parked the car outside the Fenghua Clothing specialty store in Fangshan first.

When Jin Peng first arrived in Beijing, he started to expand the sales channels around Beijing. After Tian Tian Hongshan and sister Li Xia Yue took over the surrounding outlets one after another, they started to gradually establish the network of specialty stores according to Li Ye's plan.

Although Fangshan County in this era is far from the prosperity of later generations, the business of the Fenghua Clothing specialty store is very good, and everyone recognizes this "brand name."

After Li Ye parked the car, he went in to find the person in charge of the specialty store.

The person in charge, Xiao Meng, is a local. After confirming Li Ye's identity, he started to report to him in detail: "Hello, Comrade Li. After I received the call from Manager Li yesterday, I found a few friends from the auto parts factory to inquire about it."

"Now the efficiency of their unit is not as good as the previous two years, and those two newly built workshops haven't been put into use at all..."

Li Ye came today to investigate the real situation of this factory, so naturally he wanted to find ways to learn more about the inside story, so he first entrusted sister Li Xia Yue to help inquire.

Through Xiao Meng's explanation, Li Ye had a general impression of this factory.

The predecessor of this auto parts factory was a family factory of the transportation department. Later, it caught up with the star product of Beijing 130 and developed rapidly.

Their main product is the car light of Beijing 130. It can be said that the fate of the whole factory fluctuates with Beijing 130.

In

In the early eighties, university students assigned to a factory would have a salary of about sixty yuan, while the first-year salary of ordinary workers was less than thirty—truly a weight where one person equals two.

Besides envy, could they not be jealous? Could they not be resentful?

"Then if you have the ability, you go take the Jingda exam too! Who told you not to study hard back then! Don't say any more; I am his master, I'll take this job for him..."

Old Ding knew Li Ye's "true identity" and wouldn't let his apprentice get into trouble, so he immediately wanted to take this job upon himself.

However, Li Ye stopped Old Ding and said calmly, "Master, why don't I go take a look first! If there's anything I don't understand, I'll discuss it with you when I get back."

"Ah? Then... then I'll tell you about the situation in a while."

Old Ding didn't understand Li Ye's meaning, but he had no choice but to agree.

In his view, if an opponent wants you to go east, you must go west; going east definitely won't bring anything good.

But Li Ye had figured it out these days: rather than always waiting for Wu Kezhang to make a move, it would be better to take the initiative himself!

In matters of taking the blame, it might be an unlucky person without eyes taking the blame, but it could also be a tall person holding it up! Haven't you heard that "when the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up"?

Besides, Li Ye also wanted to go see what the situation was with that Imitation Mountain Auto Parts Factory that everyone was unwilling to touch, so as to understand what the upstream and downstream industrial chains of the Jingcheng Light Auto Company were like.

An ordinary truck has thousands of parts, and a sedan has tens of thousands; it's impossible for the auto assembly plant to manufacture them all completely.

The more complex and advanced the car, the more it needs the support of high-quality supporting enterprises.

Just like how domestic cars in the future suddenly erupted in a few years, it was all thanks to the rapid development and support of upstream industrial chain auto supporting factories.

Therefore, before Li Ye came to Light Auto, he had the intention to march into auto supporting factories. After all, it's very difficult to get a production license for a whole vehicle, but it's very easy for a parts factory.

Someone in the future once said, don't look at those so-called auto giants as infinitely glorious; the several well-known parts supporting factories hidden behind them are the truly "wealthy and powerful" ones!

After Li Ye got off work, he felt that Xia Yue Xia Yue Lingshan was following him again.

So Li Ye quickened his pace; he didn't want to say anything more to her.

But the faster Li Ye walked, the harder Xia Yue Xia Yue Lingshan chased. If there weren't so many people getting off work around them, she probably would have shouted at the top of her lungs.

The argument between Old Ding and Wu Kezhang this afternoon made Xia Yue Xia Yue Lingshan feel a strong sense of crisis.

Old Ding, who had always been non-competitive, had he also taken a fancy to the section chief's throne? But if you two deputy section chiefs start tearing each other apart, then outsiders will definitely benefit!

If an outsider comes to be the section chief, who should I go to for my deputy section chief position?

Therefore, the key to the solution still lies with Li Ye.

【Little Junior Brother, you have just started working, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. I have already waited for two years, so let this opportunity be given to me!】

Xia Yue Xia Yue Lingshan made up her mind to persuade Li Ye to "turn back to the shore," as a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold.

But Li Ye was clearly avoiding her; he ducked into the alley as soon as he left the factory gate.

By the time Xia Yue Xia Yue Lingshan chased through two alleys, Li Ye's figure was long gone; there was only a date-red Santana sedan whistling away.

Xia Yue Xia Yue Lingshan didn't think about that Santana, because if she had a Santana, she would wish to drive it to the factory gate every day and honk the horn, letting everyone know she was a person with a car.

Li Ye drove eastward all the way, and twenty minutes later, he picked up Wen Watching Wen Leyu, who had just finished shopping at the vegetable market.

Wen Watching Wen Leyu happily held up the things in her hand toward Li Ye.

"Today I bought a soft-shelled turtle and an old hen; they were all sold by farmers from outside the city, fresh and cheap..."

"Oh my, is this such a big supplement? Then I'll have to exert more effort tonight..."

"Go, go, go, talking nonsense all day long, you're getting more and more arrogant."

"Hiss, have you ever heard a saying: whether a man's feelings for a woman are true or false will be revealed in bed. I am proving my... to you."

"Pah, pah, pah, if you say that again, I won't let you touch me tonight!"

"Tsk, can you stop me? I'm even more ferocious than the Overlord."

"If you have the ability, try it?"

"Try it, I will!"

"."

The young couple returned home noisily, and Wen Watching Wen Leyu carried the turtle and hen into the kitchen.

The young wife was shy, but she definitely cared for Li Ye and couldn't let Li Ye's body be depleted.

Li Ye put down his things and was just about to go to the kitchen to help when the phone at home suddenly rang.

After picking it up, it was his little sister Li Ying calling.

"Brother, we and Sister-in-law Liu have arrived in Hong Kong. I'm calling to tell you that everything went smoothly, don't worry!"

"Oh, so fast? I thought you wouldn't arrive until tomorrow!"

When Li Ye left Qingshui, he had instructed Jin Peng and Hao Hao Jian to arrange for Han Han Chunmei and her two children to go to Hong Kong, but he didn't expect them to arrive so quickly.

"Brother, you don't know, after you left, the eldest aunt always went to our house to cry and make a scene, and Mom and I hurried to hide."

Li Ye was stunned and said unhappily, "What is she making a scene about? What qualifications does she have to make a scene?"

"She is mainly crying," little sister Li Ying gossiped, "The day after you left, that Xia Xia Yue was about to break up with Cui Aiguo. I have really never seen such a shameless person; they are getting married tomorrow, and today she actually wants to break off the engagement..."

Li Ye was shocked. How could the same plot repeat itself with two best friends?

"Then did their wedding fall through?"

"No~"

The little sister said excitedly, "What kind of person is our eldest aunt? She's like a tigress, catching and eating whatever she can. How could a daughter-in-law who is already in her mouth fly away?"

"She went directly to Xia Xia Yue's door and shouted one sentence, and that Xia Xia Yue obediently got married. You didn't see it! The bride's face was pulled so long at the wedding..."

"But after the wedding, eldest aunt—oh no, Tong Li Mingyue—always came to the door to cry, hugging Grandma's leg for several hours without letting go!"

"."

Li Ye was silent; he could even imagine the scene.

【Mom is still familiar with this world, knowing the feeling of even drinking cold water getting stuck in your teeth.】

Back then, Fu Fu Guiru said the eldest aunt was about to start having bad luck; he didn't expect the retribution to come so quickly.

"Brother? Brother? Are you still there?"

Li Ying heard Li Ye was silent and started shouting on the other end of the phone.

Li Ye hurriedly said, "Yes, I'm here, I'm here!"

Li Ying said with a giggle, "Brother, aren't you curious about what eldest aunt shouted at Xia Xia Yue?"

Li Ye thought for a while and asked, "I can't guess. What did eldest aunt shout?"

"Hehehehe," Li Ying smiled and said, "Eldest aunt shouted—'Can a torn opening still be sewn up?' You say, is that fierce or not?"

"."

Li Ye was stunned for a long time before he elongated his voice and spat out two words.

"Damn it..."

Li Ye was truly convinced; he admired her to the point of prostration.

To deal with immoral people, you must use immoral methods. Li Ye didn't know if Xia Xia Yue had been deflowered by Cui Aiguo, but doing this really rubbed Xia Xia Yue into the ground.

It's even possible that if Cui Aiguo were a ruthless and heartless scumbag, he might play around for a while and then kick her away.

A thought suddenly arose in Li Ye's heart: what if the Li Ye of that year had used this trick against Lu Lu Jingyao?

"It's different; people are different from people."

Whether it was the former Li Ye or the current Li Ye, neither was the kind of person Cui Aiguo and Tong Li Mingyue were.

If he were that kind of person, how could he have met Wen Watching Wen Leyu and been held tightly by her?
