"Where am I famous? I've been very low-key lately!"

Li Ye didn't expect to meet Liu Watching Liu Muhan here. Ever since she and Lu Lu Jingyao went to find Li Ye at Zaojunmiao regarding Lu Zixue's matter last time, the two had never been in contact again.

Even when he got married, Grandpa Liu and Grandma Gao, who were far away in Shanghai, came to drink the wedding wine, but this "Aunt Liu," who was assigned to the Beijing Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, did not show up.

"You're low-key? Forget it, nephew."

Liu Watching Liu Muhan said amusedly, "People have already inquired at the Writers' Association, asking how much royalties that 'Seven-Inch Blade' (Qicun Qichun Dao Feng) actually earned, and whether he can really afford a Santana...

I only found out that you, 'Seven-Inch Blade,' drive a private sedan to work after hearing my dad tell me over the phone!"

"."

Only then did Li Ye know that someone in the unit had gone to the Writers' Association to "background check" him. It seems that the matter of buying a Santana with royalties still overturned many people's cognition.

Liu Watching Liu Muhan looked at Li Ye in a daze and said with a smile, "What's wrong, nephew? Do you know to pay attention to your influence now? You, 'Seven-Inch Blade,' are now famous in the novel circle for being 'extravagant'."

【You got addicted to being called Aunt after being forced by Grandpa to call you that, didn't you?】

"Stop, stop, stop, stop, don't call me nephew!"

Li Ye said very dissatisfied, "You didn't even come to my wedding, and you still want to earn the title of Aunt? Forget it! From now on, we are peers; let's count our own."

"Wasn't I out of the country?" Liu Watching Liu Muhan said aggrievedly, "This Cherokee model was introduced through cooperation led by our unit. I happened to be sent to the Lighthouse (USA) at that time. Besides, you didn't even give me an invitation to your wedding, and you blame me?"

Whether it was the technology introduction of Isuzu or the Cherokee, both adopted the form of combining technology and trade, so it wasn't empty talk that Liu Watching Liu Muhan could participate in it.

It's just that Li Ye's "power" rising was empty talk.

"Can't come in person, can't send money either? Do you understand the rules? If you can't come in person, the gift money must arrive. No money, no relatives."

"Give, give, give, give, I'll make up the gift money for you right now."

Liu Watching Liu Muhan continued to tease while taking out her wallet, "But I say, nephew, what exactly are you thinking? With your little wife's family background, shouldn't you have entered the Ministry?

Even if you like cars, you should go to a joint-venture car factory, right? Could it be that you think the Beijing Second Auto temple is small, so it's easier to get fat like a big Buddha?"

"."

Li Ye looked at Liu Watching Liu Muhan, who was emptying her wallet, and had to admire that "this woman guessed really accurately."

In the Beijing area, the Light Auto Company, born out of Beijing Second Auto, was definitely a "small unit." Let alone compared to those ministries and central enterprises, it was even a little brother compared to this state-owned enterprise that produced the Cherokee 213.

But big brothers have their benefits, and little brothers have their wonders.

If it were a child from an ordinary family, they would definitely choose a big unit, struggling for a higher position and a better future for their whole life.

But there are many gods in big units, and every step up requires fighting with various gods. There is a high probability that one won't be able to sit in the highest chair after struggling for a lifetime, let alone "opportunistically" jumping to the Ministry.

And a small unit seems to have no future, but there are fewer opponents!

Like a little demon king like Li Ye, who holds gold ingots and diamond drills, jumping in, looking around, it's all small fry. One slap can kill a whole bunch. Whose credit is it? It's all mine. If not me, who?

By the time Li Ye tosses a small unit into a "big unit," he won't be able to stop from taking a rocket!

And if Li Ye enters a big unit, even if others can't snatch the credit he makes, the problem is, for their own future, will they try every possible way to prevent you from making credit?

Seeing Li Ye didn't take her money, Liu Watching Liu Muhan said with a grin, "What? Do you think the gift money is too little? Or did I guess right?"

Li Ye asked with a chuckle, "Are you a deputy section chief now?"

Liu Watching Liu Muhan blinked and said with a smile, "I've been graduated for a year and a half. If I still can't be promoted to deputy section chief, wouldn't that be too useless?"

Li Ye didn't answer, but continued to ask, "Then do you want to be promoted to section chief? Do you want to be promoted to division level?"

Liu Watching Liu Muhan looked at Li Ye in surprise and asked suspiciously, "Nephew, aren't you talking nonsense? Who doesn't want to climb higher?"

Li Ye spread his hands and said, "Look, no matter whether everyone chooses a big temple or a small temple, they actually have the same goal. So, Wu Kezhang Liu, what you asked me just now is nonsense!"

"."

Liu Watching Liu Muhan looked at Li Ye for a good while, then suddenly stuffed the banknotes in her hand into Li Ye's hand.

"Come, come, come, hurry up and take the gift money. Nephew, don't be polite with your aunt. I see you have heaven-sent talent and will surely achieve great things. You must pull your aunt along when you become successful in the future..."

"Don't, don't, don't, Wu Kezhang Liu, Sister Liu, I'm joking with you, joking, I don't want your gift money..."

Li Ye was just joking; how could he want her money? But Liu Watching Liu Muhan got into the spirit, "Who are you calling Wu Kezhang Liu? I'm telling you! I'm determined to be this aunt. If you mess up the seniority again, I'll go find Uncle Li to reason with you..."

The two pushed and shoved, and for a long time, they couldn't figure it out. In the end, Liu Watching Liu Muhan was sweating all over in the middle of winter before she stuffed the money into Li Ye's pants pocket.

Li Ye still wanted to return the money, but Liu Watching Liu Muhan suddenly pointed behind Li Ye and asked, "? Nephew, do you know that person?"

Li Ye looked back and found that General Manager's secretary Guan Liang was leaving slowly with a camera slung over his shoulder.

Li Ye felt suspicious and asked Liu Watching Liu Muhan, "What was he doing just now? Did he take a picture in our direction?"

Liu Watching Liu Muhan said strangely, "Wasn't he taking pictures of these exhibition products? Why would he take pictures of us? Who is that person?"

Li Ye thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Nothing, it's fine. That's our factory's general manager's secretary, the number one pen-pusher."

Liu Watching Liu Muhan said with a surprised smile, "Number one pen-pusher? Shouldn't that be you?"

Li Ye put on his old act again, "I only know how to write novels. Novels are 'Story Collection', do you understand 'Story Collection'..."

But Liu Watching Liu Muhan mocked, "Forget it! I've read all your novels. You can only fool others with this talk. It's not that you can't write reports; you just don't want to serve people."

【You guessed right again.】

Novels and reports definitely have differences, but they are both skills of text processing, and it's not particularly difficult to convert them.

But Li Ye had no intention of snatching Guan Liang's position because he didn't want to revolve around one person.

Li Ye sighed and asked Liu Watching Liu Muhan, "Miss Liu, I've accepted your gift money today, when can I return it? You're twenty-five this year, right? Do you have a partner yet?"

Liu Watching Liu Muhan immediately widened her eyes and said hatefully, "Why? So anxious to return the gift money to me? And try calling me Miss Liu again?"

Li Ye smiled, "Alright, Aunt Liu, if you don't have a partner yet, then I'll give you a piece of advice... Girls who are too smart are not likable. Even if you are really smart, it's best to pretend to be a little stupid."

"."

Li Ye was truly doing it for Liu Watching Liu Muhan's own good, because he, Li Ye, was a clear example.

Wen Wen Leyu is smarter than ninety-nine percent of the girls in the world, but in front of Li Ye, she always carries a temperament of "innocence and cuteness" (daimeng),

Both salty and sweet, bouncy and soft, it's simply indescribably wonderful, making someone like Li Ye, who has seen everything, unable to help but bow down under her pomegranate skirt.

And Liu Watching Liu Muhan, whether in terms of knowledge, family background, appearance, or intelligence, can be called top-notch, but she is always "revealing her sharp edge," making the men who come into contact with her feel pressure and discomfort.

Liu Watching Liu Muhan glanced at Li Ye meaningfully, and after a good while, she suddenly smiled.

"I understand this principle, but I always have to meet a boy worth me pretending to be stupid for, and I have to arrive before others."

Li Ye: "."
