Siheyuan: Started from a blind date and being cut off

Yan Jiecheng pushed his bicycle out of the yard, turned to Li Ye and asked, "Where are you going?"

Li Ye reported the location of Li Changming's home, and Yan Jiecheng drove Li Ye to the place where Li Changming lived in just 20 minutes.

"Go back quickly. It's freezing cold. I can't wait for you too long."

Yan Jiecheng said to Li Ye.

Indeed, in the middle of winter, it was a bit inappropriate for Yan Jiecheng to wait outside in the cold wind.

It's all Yan Bugui's fault. In order to earn an extra cent, he had to ask his son to give it to him. Isn't this a trap?

Later, there was a reason why the three sons and one daughter of the third uncle’s family became filial children.

Li Ye was really a little worried about Yan Jiecheng, who was just waiting and riding his bike back first.

It was winter and it was night again, and Li Ye didn't want to brave the cold wind and walk for an hour.

"Xie Cheng, your dad sent me out before I even finished the meal. Are you not full? I have a few White Rabbit toffees here. You can take them to fill your belly first."

Li Ye took out a few White Rabbit toffees from his pocket and handed them to Yan Jiecheng.

Now there is no need to worry about Yan Jiecheng leaving him and running away early.

"Thank you bro."

Yan Jiecheng was extremely happy. Candy is usually a scarce commodity, and you can only eat a few pieces during holidays.

He no longer had any resentment and felt that Li Ye was a more capable person and much more generous than his stingy father.

After taking care of Yan Jiecheng, Li Ye walked towards those unique Khrushchev buildings.

These days, many things in China are learned from Big Brother, and so is the style of buildings.

These Khrushchev buildings, which are only five or six stories high, are dormitories for cadres, and you need to have some money to live in them.

Don't underestimate Li Changming, who was just the deputy director of a steel rolling mill. The steel rolling mill at this time was different from those of later generations.

The Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill is a large factory with tens of thousands of people. The large state-owned factory under the direct jurisdiction of it belongs to the department-level enterprise unit. The leaders at the level of director and deputy director belong to the department-level leaders. When they are released, they are the mayor of a city.

Li Ye stopped five or six meters away from the security pavilion and shouted: "I am Li Ye from the canteen of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. I am the distant nephew of Deputy Director Li Changming. I am here to see Deputy Director Li."

Reporting on work.”

These days, everything is dark, unlike in later generations when everything was brightly lit.

It is safer and safer to stand five or six meters away and shout to the security personnel who are ensuring the safety of the cadre dormitory to state your identity and purpose.

Otherwise, if you wander around the downstairs of the cadre dormitory by yourself in the dark, and they think you are a thief or an enemy agent, they will arrest you and beat you up, who are you going to explain to you?

Two security comrades with guns came over and checked Li Ye's work permit.

Li Ye scattered a few large front doors while they were checking their documents.

On the work permit, the security comrades discovered that Li Ye was indeed from the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, and that his surname was Li, claiming to be Li Changming's distant nephew. They confirmed that Li Ye had no weapons on him and let him go.

Li Ye entered the building where Li Changming lived and took out the gift he had prepared earlier from his personal space.

Arriving at Room 202 on the second floor, Li Ye gently knocked on the door twice, then stood outside the door and waited quietly.

Half a minute later, a middle-aged woman about forty years old opened the door.

This should be Li Changming's wife. As she ages, the years will inevitably leave traces of time changes on her face, but it can also be seen that she must have been good-looking when she was young.

"Who is it?"

A man's deep voice came from inside the house, showing a bit of majesty.

"I don't know him. I haven't seen him before."

Mrs. Li replied.

"Oh, I am Li Ye, the son of Li Jianye, the chef in the cafeteria of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. I am visiting unexpectedly. I apologize if I have disturbed you."

Li Ye quickly reported the name of his cheap dad in front of Mrs. Li.

"Let him in."

There was silence in the room for a moment, and then Li Changming said something.

Li Changming is the deputy director of the steel rolling mill, in charge of logistics support.

The canteen of the steel rolling mill is within Li Changming's jurisdiction.

He Yuzhu did not become the chef of a cafeteria several years ago. The chef at that time was Li Jianye.

Eight years ago, Li Jianye came to the capital with his wife and children as a eldest brother without any heirs.

Therefore, Li Changming must have an impression of Li Jianye.

Because in the past, when leaders came to inspect the factory, Li Changming always asked Li Jianye to run the small stove.

Speaking of which, Li Changming, who cherishes talents, still feels a little regretful about Li Jianye's death.

Brothers Li Jianye are both veteran chefs. They have been cooking for decades and have excellent control over heat. The dishes they cook are very suitable for him and his boss.

It's a pity that both brothers didn't live long, and they died around the age of forty.

The person in charge of running the small stove now is He Yuzhu.

Although He Yuzhu is very talented in cooking and is the heir to the famous Tan Family Cuisine, he is only 26 or 27 years old after all, so he is a little lacking compared to the experienced master chefs.

The descendants of two former subordinates came to visit, and Li Changming wanted to see Li Ye for the sake of his cheap uncle and dad. After all, these two were once talented people under him.

In addition, if you suddenly visit in the evening, it is most likely that you have something to ask for and you are here to give a gift.

Li Changming has a clear mind and is a gift recipient himself.

Mrs. Li opened the door and let Li Ye, who was carrying large and small bags, in.

As soon as Li Ye entered the door, he saw Li Changming sitting on the sofa with his hairline receding and a bit middle-aged. He greeted him: "Director Li, you dropped by unexpectedly without having time to say hello in advance. I'm sorry to disturb you."

, I hope you will bear with me!"

Li Changming looked at Li Ye for a few times, thinking that this boy was much smarter than his two stupid father and uncle, so he called him the factory director, erasing all the subtitles.

Li Changming's face was calm, he took a sip of tea and only showed a smile: "Oh, you are Li Jianye's son! I have seen you in the cafeteria before.

Why don't you usually come to my place to walk around? Your father and uncle are no longer here, but the friendship is still there.

I admired your father and your uncle very much at the beginning, and their performance did not disappoint me. Their cooking skills, to this day, I have not met anyone who can match them."

Li Ye was also very clear-minded. Whoever believed Li Changming's words was stupid.

The friendship is still there if we come here more often, not to mention that Li Ye is just the son of the cook whom Li Changming once valued.

Even if he is the son of a relative of Li Changming's family and is related by blood, just visiting him a few times will definitely arouse Li Changming's resentment.

Not to mention that Li Ye's cheap dad is no longer around, so the remaining shadow is long gone.

"I'm here, but I'm a little late. I hope Director Li won't blame me.

When my dad was still here, he would often tell me about the care you took of him, Director Li."

When Li Ye said this, he put the gift he brought on the ground and said again immediately.

"I went back to my hometown two days ago and brought some mountain products. I specially brought some for Factory Manager Li to try."

To be honest, the things Li Ye brought were very common items for Li Changming, and there was nothing unusual about them.

Li Ye simply put it on the ground instead of putting it in front of Li Changming.

A person of Li Changming's level would not look at what he had given as a gift in front of Li Ye. Putting it on the coffee table would have no other use than being an eyesore!

After a few words of probing, Li Changming already knew that the person sitting opposite him was a little fox.

If you show your courtesy when you have nothing to do, you must be asking for something.

Li Changming didn't have much interest in chatting with Li Ye, a nobody, so he directly asked Li Ye about his purpose.

Li Ye didn't talk nonsense and directly explained his grudges with He Yuzhu and tomorrow's canteen rating assessment.

"Speak more plainly."

Li Changming's face had hardened and became a bit serious.

He already understood the grievances between Li Ye and He Yuzhu. If his words were more straightforward, he was actually asking Li Ye what he wanted him to do.

If Li Ye gave him the green light, he would directly ask his wife to see the guests off and ask Li Ye to take his things and get out.

It is true that he accepts gifts, but he does not accept gifts from everyone.

If an insignificant person like Li Ye gives him a gift to get the green light, he will not accept the gift.

Because there is no need for him to be greedy for a small amount of money. It is not worth it to leave a clue that may be discovered by others.

Li Ye looked at Li Changming's expression and eyes, pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "Director Li's fairness is well known in the factory! Director Li will definitely not allow some people to operate in secret to retaliate, and will definitely give him

Those who participate in the assessment will have a fair chance to compete.

It’s already very late now, why don’t I go back first! I won’t disturb Director Li’s rest.”

Li Changming couldn't help but look at Li Ye with admiration.

When Li Ye gave gifts, he didn't ask for anything. He didn't give him the green light, but he hoped to get a chance to compete fairly. This was a bit beyond his expectation.

This son of Li Jianye is very clever! He is a moldable seedling.

"Li Ye, how old are you this year?"

Li Changming suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the topic.

"19."

Li Changming nodded after hearing this: "You should go back first, and just leave the mountain goods you brought here."

Li Changming has accepted the gift, and Li Ye's purpose of this trip has been successfully achieved.

He said a few polite words and came out of Li Changming's house.

After Li Ye left, Mrs. Li closed the door, and Li Changming said to his wife: "Li Jianye's son is very clever at a young age, but he knows how to measure his own weight.

At this point, he is much better than his deceased uncle and father.

If his uncle and father had some cleverness like this guy, they would have become the canteen director, or even the canteen monitor if things got worse."

Mrs. Li was slightly surprised. Her husband had a high opinion of the son of Xihi’s subordinate just now!
