Chapter 710: I am here to plant peach trees

~9 min read 1,763 words

At 9:30 in the morning, Yue Lingshan finished the little work she had on hand and stretched her back long.

She looked at her watch; it was the perfect time for state-owned enterprise employees to visit and slack off, so she said to Li Ye with a giggle, "Wu Kezhang Li, I'm going to the warehouse to check the supply quantity of leaf springs~"

Li Ye didn't even lift his head, "Warehouse, right? Go ahead, I'll call you if there's anything."

The unit has this kind of atmosphere now; there isn't that much work, but they still hire people every year. If you want to roll, you can't roll,

So Li Ye couldn't be a warlord, timing people when they go to the bathroom. As long as he couldn't find them, he didn't care if they visited or chatted.

But Yue Lingshan only went out for a few minutes before rushing back to the Supply Section. As soon as she entered, she shouted at Li Ye, "Wu Kezhang, Wu Kezhang, just now several public security officers came and took Guan Liang to the Security Section..."

Everyone in the office raised their heads in surprise.

In the early 1980s, the security section within a state-owned enterprise was not a "security section." Those with higher levels even had guns.

Usually, when employees in the unit fought or stole something, they basically handled it themselves, and they also had a joint defense relationship with the public security department in the jurisdiction.

Because it had the nature of "semi-public security," if someone in the unit was suddenly called to the Security Section, they would definitely be pointed at and guessed, "Did they commit some crime?"

And when Li Ye scolded "spreading rumors leads to three years in prison" at the meeting a few days ago, it had long spread. Now that public security suddenly came and took Guan Liang to the Security Section... could it still be a good thing?

Deputy Wu Kezhang Wu Qingyi looked at Li Ye with very complex and meaningful eyes.

He had been in the unit for more than twenty years and had seen many things like "thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river," so don't look at Li Ye being glorious now, he didn't give up the idea of "the latecomer surpassing the forerunner."

But now he had no confidence.

Li Ye, this young man, looked gentle and refined, usually not even saying a dirty word, but he had only been here for more than half a year and had continuously "established his prestige," making a name for himself like a hedgehog.

Others just touch you, but you really stab them to death!

"Wu Kezhang, I'll go check the situation again!"

Yue Lingshan's breath hadn't even calmed down before she ran out again, just like a forward scout who received the order of "investigate and report again" in a play.

However, before she went to investigate, she also went to the office next door and roared, and then the nearby sections all knew about it.

"Public security came to find Guan Liang..."

"Guan Liang was taken away by public security..."

"Guan Liang is going to be sentenced..."

After many days, the rumors started again, but this time, the one being rumored about changed from Li Ye to Guan Liang.

By lunch time, Guan Liang hadn't come out of the Security Section, and this rumor became even more outrageous.

But in the afternoon, Yue Lingshan returned with slight disappointment, "Wu Kezhang, Wu Kezhang, the public security people left, but they didn't take Guan Liang away..."

Now Yue Lingshan hoped 100% that Guan Liang would be taken away, because she had already labeled herself as "Li Ye's direct subordinate." The harder Li Ye's strength, the brighter her future.

And Deputy Wu Kezhang Wu Qingyi, who had been looking gloomy all day, curled his lips and revealed a "sure enough" smile, as if he had long guessed that this matter would end in nothing.

Guan Liang was like those monsters who descended to earth in Journey to the West; he committed a crime and at most would be handled internally. How could he be taken away by outsiders?

But the next morning, the public security people came again, and Guan Liang was taken to the Security Section again.

Forward scout Yue Lingshan squatted for most of the day and brought back an astonishing piece of news, panting.

"Wu Kezhang, Wu Kezhang, the public security people were invited to dinner by Director Lu, and Guan Liang handed in his resignation letter, but it was torn up by the leader on the spot."

"..."

Wu Qingyi paused for a few seconds and couldn't help but say, "Which leader tore it up?"

Yue Lingshan drank some water, "Of course it was Deputy Manager Ma. This matter was handled by Deputy Manager Ma!"

Wu Qingyi pursed his lips and swallowed, suddenly feeling a bit bitter in his throat.

Guan Liang was forced to resign, and Ma Zhaoxian was still unforgiving. If the big factory director didn't have any actions next, then Guan Liang's fate would definitely be very miserable.

According to the tradition of the Chinese people, everything is afraid of being serious. Once it becomes serious, a sesame-sized matter will become a watermelon-sized crime.

On the third day, the public security people continued to come to find Guan Liang to "understand the situation," and it was said they were already very impatient.

On the fourth day, the public security didn't come, Guan Liang's resignation was approved, and at the same time, there were two more documents with official seals on the unit's bulletin board.

First: The leader of the management reform group changed; Factory Office Director Lu Zhizhang took over as the group leader, and Li Ye temporarily served as the deputy group leader.

Second: The branch factory began to be officially prepared, with Deputy Manager Ma Zhaoxian fully responsible.

Li Ye exhaled lightly, knowing that the tug-of-war of these few days finally balanced out a result.

If Ma Zhaoxian and Li Ye held onto Guan Liang and wouldn't let go, they could definitely send him to prison to eat a few days of corn buns, but that would only be for face, not for substance.

Guan Liang going to prison would certainly make Li Ye feel relieved, but Ma Zhaoxian still couldn't open up the situation.

And now, although there was a little less face, the substance was really obtained.

This was also the goal Ma Zhaoxian and Li Ye had discussed: Guan Liang must get out, and at the same time, they must get the power of the branch factory.

After the news spread, Yue Lingshan was as happy as a sparrow, chattering excitedly without stopping.

And Deputy Wu Kezhang Wu Qingyi had a gloomy and uncertain expression, with suppressed and tangled light flashing in his eyes.

Now the matter was very clear: Li Ye was on Ma Zhaoxian's line, and Ma Zhaoxian had obviously started to seize the power of the unit and had successfully taken a big step.

The old immortal Ding Zhiwen was also very likely pulled over by Ma Zhaoxian, so he was a nail driven by the old unit in the Supply Section. As long as the power struggle continued, his importance was unquestionable.

And looking at the fact that the leader of the management reform pilot group was Lu Zhizhang, then this power struggle would definitely continue.

Lu Zhizhang had always been valued by several leaders of the unit and was considered a direct descendant of the unit, not of the same path as the foreign newcomers like COFCO and Hong Kong capital.

But looking at the master and apprentice pair of Old Ding and Li Ye in front of him, Wu Qingyi was very tangled. One against two was extremely dangerous!

Of course, if Wu Qingyi knew that Lu Zhizhang had attended Li Ye's wedding and what he saw and heard at the wedding, he might have completely given up the idea of being a nail.

Lu Zhizhang was already an undercover agent.

"Li Ye, do you have time? Bother you for a moment."

While Wu Qingyi was pondering, Guan Liang suddenly appeared at the door of the Supply Section and greeted Li Ye with a calm expression.

"Secretary Guan is looking for me, so I must have time! Come in and sit down!"

Li Ye responded to Guan Liang very generously, and even took out the tea leaves from the office to brew a cup of tea for him.

Guan Liang was not polite either, dragged Pan Dachuan's chair over and sat next to Li Ye, taking the hot teacup to warm his hands.

Then he looked at Li Ye quietly for five seconds...

"..."

Wu Kezhang Old Ding twitched his eyebrows and looked fiercely at Guan Liang.

Guan Liang's words were a bit heart-piercing.

He was mocking his own busy work that achieved results, but in the end, he was taken advantage of by Li Ye.

But Li Ye shook his head slowly and said indifferently, "Picking peaches? Is this the Pan Tao Garden? There are no peaches here at all; what do you want me to pick?"

Guan Liang sneered, "Deputy Group Leader of the Management Reform Group, doesn't this count as a peach? I put in so much effort and finally promoted this management reform, only to be enjoyed by you. Doesn't this count as picking peaches?"

Li Ye tapped his fingers on the table a few times and asked indifferently, "Why do you think that if you presided over the management reform, it would succeed?"

Guan Liang laughed amusingly, "Why wouldn't it succeed? I have planned everything. With the support of leaders above and the help of employees below, as long as you give me three months, I can..."

"You wouldn't succeed even if you were given three years."

Li Ye coldly interrupted Guan Liang and then asked oppressively, "Do you have money? Do you have technology? Do you have talent? What is your so-called support? Verbal support?"

"If you want everyone to make changes, you have to pay for what everyone needs. You want everyone to help you with just a red mouth and white teeth? Are you dreaming?"

"..."

Guan Liang was stunned for a long time before he said angrily, "Then what can you bring to everyone? What can you give everyone?"

Li Ye said indifferently, "I am here to plant peach trees, and I can give everyone a peach tree." ===== CHAPTER 711 =====
