Chapter 845

~8 min read 1,465 words

December 30, 1988, the new dormitory area next to the First Branch Factory, the sound of firecrackers didn't stop for half a day.

At the end of December, the First Branch Factory's new staff building was officially delivered. Because today is a good day, suitable for moving in, moving, and settling beds, many anxious workers either asked for leave or found people to change shifts, all rushing to move into the new houses.

The cars of the unit's logistics department were not enough, so they spent their own money to hire tricycles to move things; anyway, they would feel at ease after moving in.

After all, if you move in a day earlier, you will feel at ease a day earlier.

Li Ye's senior brother Ding Jiuchang was allocated a house, so he also brought a gift today to congratulate him on his housewarming.

But what Li Ye didn't expect was that he had been in the dormitory area for a long time and couldn't even get into Ding Jiuchang's door.

"Factory Director Li, you must come for a few drinks at noon today, I bought Maotai, you must come..."

"Factory Director Li, we really thank you, my mother has been nagging since the day I entered the city, telling me to work hard and strive to live in an apartment building in this life,"

"But how can an apartment building be something that we workers who do hard labor can live in? But today, my mother is living in an apartment building with me... it all depends on you, it all depends on you!"

"."

No matter who saw Li Ye, they enthusiastically invited him to drink. Many workers' parents were old and pulled Li Ye to invite him home, which made Li Ye feel warm in his heart while being unable to laugh or cry.

【So this is what it feels like to "go into the masses"!】

"Sorry! My senior brother is also moving today! I haven't seen my master for a long time, I have to have a drink with my master, let's do it another day, another day!"

"."

Ding Jiuchang used to be in the Steel Rolling Mill. After being transferred to the First Branch Factory, the original unit urged him to hand over the house, so this time Li Ye naturally helped him fight for a house, and it was on the third floor.

After Li Ye finally got rid of the enthusiastic workers and entered the house with Ding Jiuchang, Master Old Ding had already poured the wine.

Li Ye joked: "Yo, Master, you even put out Maotai! Then I must drink a few more cups today."

"I don't know how much you can drink? Is a few cups enough? Look, I bought six bottles, they are all yours."

"."

Li Ye looked at Senior Brother Ding Jiuchang moving over five bottles of Maotai and asked with a smile: "Master, who doesn't take you, this supply section chief, as a cadre, that you have to buy Maotai yourself?"

"I didn't buy wine myself before, but since the procurement reform of the General Factory, I haven't received a bottle of wine from anyone, let alone gifts."

"."

Old Ding said this very frankly; after all, he was also a supply deputy section chief for many years. If he said he hadn't received any gifts at all, even ghosts wouldn't believe it.

But now Old Ding is a full section chief, and being able to insist on not accepting gifts is really not easy.

He had a drink with Master Old Ding and then asked: "Master, a few days ago, Wu Kezhang Wan of the Finance Department came to the First Branch Factory and said that because of the Spring Festival, they need to issue welfare and bonuses to the staff, so they want to advance one month's profit. Do you think this advanced profit is really for the staff?"

Old Ding said immediately: "That's definitely not it. I guess this money is prepared for the General Factory's accessory supply units. It was agreed to return the payment in three months, but it's already been more than two months!"

Li Ye asked in surprise: "The supply units that return payments in three months only account for a quarter, right? Can't the General Factory even come up with this money?"

After Li Ye returned from Japan, the Grand Factory Director asked the General Factory to adjust the supply plan, cut the share of some private trading companies, picked up some old relationships from before, and agreed to return payments in three months.

But those trading companies are all connected households, and no one wants to earn less money. After adjusting back and forth, they didn't cut much, just picked up a few old relationships to buy some accessories to make a show.

But even this show, can't they even do it?

Sure enough, Old Ding said in a low voice: "Although Old Wan's mouth is tight, he is an old finance person. He wouldn't dare to move the money for the workers' Spring Festival. He must have left it aside long ago. If the workers can't eat dumplings, wouldn't they rebel?"

"Then now their capital gap can only be for the accessory supply units. Guan Liang and their money definitely can't be owed. Guan Liang will come to send gifts the next day if there is money in the account. Then who else could the money be missing from?"

It sounds ridiculous; private supply companies are returning payments in a month, but they come to get money in less than a month, but there is no money for those returning payments in three months.

"Sigh~"

Old Ding sighed and said: "The reputation of the General Factory is really getting lower and lower. If they cheat people again this time, there might not be a next time."

"Hmm?"

Li Ye smiled and asked: "Master, are you asking me to advance the money to Wu Kezhang Wan?"

Old Ding shook his head and said seriously: "No, I've only been a section chief all my life, I haven't stood in a high place, and I don't see far enough. You have to weigh this matter yourself..."

Li Ye pondered for a moment and nodded slowly.

Old Ding's meaning is very clear. If it is from the aspect of fighting for power and profit, Li Ye definitely cannot advance profits to the General Factory again. Everyone competes with each other; it's not bad if you don't tear down my stage, and you still want me to save you?

But if you don't transfuse blood to the General Factory, decades of reputation might be ruined.

Old Ding had another drink with Li Ye and then said: "I also heard that Zheng Jiemin submitted an application for job transfer."

Li Ye said unexpectedly: "Didn't Zheng Jiemin just get promoted to deputy section chief? Why, seeing that the procurement reform failed, he is cold-hearted and wants to change to a place to start over?"

Old Ding said lonely: "There is more than one smart person. He should feel that something is going to happen. It would be strange if nothing happened when Guan Liang and the others are doing things like that."

Li Ye nodded and said: "There are many moths in the house, so he wants to change to a house, but he is a moth himself, what's the use of changing back and forth?"

"."

Old Ding also fell silent, just drinking with Li Ye. The master and apprentice were quite happy, but suddenly they felt a bit lonely.

And Senior Brother Ding Jiuchang looked at Li Ye and suddenly asked: "Li Ye, do you think the Grand Factory Director will also apply for a transfer?"

Li Ye was stunned and was about to answer Ding Jiuchang, but Master Old Ding scolded him head-on.

"Whether the Grand Factory Director transfers or not has nothing to do with you. You should do your work properly and don't care about these things."

"."

Li Ye couldn't help but laugh.

Senior Brother Ding Jiuchang has good performance in terms of diligence and business, but compared to Master Old Ding, he lacks a bit of steadiness.

Now the First Branch Factory is getting more and more prosperous, but the General Factory's days are getting harder and harder. Some people are already spreading that if Ma Zhaoxian is allowed to "take the top," can the General Factory be as prosperous as the First Branch Factory?

But no matter if the Grand Factory Director transfers or not, Ding Jiuchang is Li Ye's person. If Li Ye wins, his benefits will not be less.

If the Grand Factory Director wins, can you turn around and "abandon the darkness and turn to the light"?
