Life 1984

Zhuang Yong sent Li Yunhai and Shen Xiulan to the night market street, then turned around and left.

Li Yunhai and Shen Xiulan came to Yinyuan Restaurant for dinner.

As soon as they sat down, they saw several scantily clad young girls walking upstairs.

Shen Xiulan asked in a low voice: "Do you think they are really not cold when they are dressed like this?"

Li Yunhai said: "They went to the music cafe upstairs to accompany the singers. They wear too many clothes, who wants to pay for them?"

Shen Xiulan exclaimed softly: "No, right? There are also singers in Xizhou?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "What is this? The entertainment industry makes money quickly, and this business will only get bigger and bigger."

In recent years, dance halls and music cafes have been booming, and competition has become increasingly fierce.The bosses showed their talents and tried every means to attract business.Recruiting celebrities, hiring singers, and dancers are just basic operations. Things that are becoming more and more unlimited will gradually develop.

Li Yunhai ordered a few dishes and ate with Shen Xiulan.

Shen Xiulan was tired after walking for so long, so she immediately ate happily.

They ate slowly and did not leave immediately after eating. Instead, they ordered a pot of tea and sat and chatted until Zhuang Yong came back.

After Zhuang Yong entered, he went straight to Li Yunhai, leaned over and whispered a few words into his ear.

Li Yunhai nodded, thanked him for his hard work, and ordered a table of wine and food for him, saying, "You eat while Xiulan and I go shopping."

Zhuang Yong said hello.

Li Yunhai and Shen Xiulan came to the street.

Shen Xiulan asked: "How is that thin man?"

Li Yunhai said: "It's okay. That person is no longer here."

Shen Xiulan asked: "What do you mean you're gone?"

Li Yunhai said: "That's what Zhuang Yong told me just now. I guess the thin man had already run away when he went there!"

Shen Xiulan patted her chest and took a long breath: "Fortunately, no one died!"

Although her salary is higher now, she still likes to visit night markets like this. When she sees gadgets she likes, she can spend half a day choosing them in front of the stalls.Especially the headwear stalls and small cosmetics stalls, she couldn't move away when she saw them.

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "What's so good about these? Wouldn't it be better to go directly to the department store to buy them?"

Shen Xiulan picked up a butterfly-shaped hair accessory and put it on her hair. She smiled and said, "Department stores don't sell this kind of hair accessories. Even if they do, they don't have so many styles. Do you think I look good wearing this?"

Li Yunhai said: "You are good-looking! You are good-looking. You look good no matter what you wear, or you look good even if you don't wear anything."

Shen Xiulan smiled, picked out a few headwear and bought them.

She rolled up her beautiful black hair with her hands and clamped it with the big butterfly hairpin she just bought, making her look youthful and pretty.

When she came to the cosmetics stall, she lowered her head and started choosing.

Li Yunhai said: "You should buy better ones for your face! We have been abroad so many times, and every time we go to the mall and ask you if you want to buy cosmetics, you always say no."

Shen Xiulan said: "Aren't foreign products necessarily better? They just sell them more expensively! Like this Skin Beauty Facial Cleanser, Vitamin E Milk, Clam Oil, Friendship Cream, and this Pechoin, they are cheap and easy to use. You see Is my skin good? It’s all thanks to the use of domestic products!”

Li Yunhai had to give her a thumbs up for what she said and said, "You are right, and you are right. I am superficial."

Shen Xiulan looked at him charmingly and said, "It's very economical to have a wife like me!"

A strange wave of emotion passed through Li Yunhai's heart.

Marrying Shen Xiulan does save money, because she is a woman who lives her life carefully.

Although the two people's wages in the previous life were not high, they still lived a prosperous life.

Had they not been separated in two places, they would have been called a model couple together.

Thinking of the past, Li Yunhai couldn't help but feel sad.

Unknowingly, I walked to the door of the cinema.

Shen Xiulan looked at the screening board and said, "Shall we watch a movie together? When you get married, it won't be so convenient if you want to go out to watch a movie with me again."

Li Yunhai said warmly: "Then let's watch a movie."

In the late 80s, domestic films were flourishing, and the fifth generation of directors began to emerge, leaving a lasting mark on their works.With the deepening of reform and opening up, the market economy has become the standard for testing the quality of films. Under the impact of Hong Kong films, the mainland has also begun to explore its own commercial film model.

A large number of movies with different styles have appeared on mainland screens, including kung fu, horror, suspense, thriller and other genres.In comparison, the latter is more interesting. In order to satisfy the audience's curiosity, many pictures are not shy at all.

Li Yunhai and Shen Xiulan watched "The Price of Madness", and the topics displayed and discussed were particularly precious on the screen in the 80s.

The film tells the story of two sisters who depended on each other because their parents divorced. On the way home from school, the younger sister was splashed with water by a car. The driver got jealous and did something worse than a beast to the little girl. The older sister vowed to protect her younger sister. Revenge, running around looking for clues and catching the real culprit.At the end of the film, the sister was so angry that she kicked the criminal off the tower and fell to his death. She was arrested for breaking the law.

Shen Xiulan was filled with indignation and asked, "Why are there such people?"You deserve to die!

Li Yunhai held her hand and said softly: "It's just a movie, why are you so angry?"

Shen Xiulan said: "It means this movie is well shot and can arouse my emotions."

After the two watched the movie, Li Yunhai sent her home.

When they arrived downstairs in the dormitory, Shen Xiulan glanced at him and said, "How about a cup of tea upstairs?"

Li Yunhai nodded and followed her upstairs.

As soon as she entered the door, Shen Xiulan hugged him and said: "Let's continue what we didn't finish on the mountain. You are going to get married soon. After you get married, we will definitely not be so willful and wanton. Before that, do you want to Whatever happens is fine.”

Li Yunhai breathed heavily and carried her into the bedroom.

It was already late at night when he returned home.

Lin Zhi had gone to bed long ago. She was particularly drowsy in her third trimester of pregnancy and fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.

Li Yunhai's steps were gentle and did not wake her up.

The next morning, Li Yunhai called the director of the Cardiology Department of the Provincial People's Hospital and asked if Shen Xiulan's CT results were out.

The director replied that the results were out and no problems were found.

Li Yunhai asked, her grandfather had a history of heart disease, would she inherit it?

The director said that this is not necessarily the case. If it is a congenital heart disease, the incubation period is very long. As long as it is checked regularly and detected early, it will be treated early.

Li Yunhai asked why she fainted suddenly?
The director said that it may be due to too much stimulation. When a person suffers a sudden and major blow, he is likely to faint briefly.

Li Yunhai said thank you.

Although Li Yunhai failed to become husband and wife to Shen Xiulan in this life, he would definitely take better care of this woman than in his previous life.

University interns sent by several universities in the province arrived one after another and were assigned to suitable positions.

There are more than 80 fresh graduates coming for internship this time.

Li Yunhai's goal is to keep half of it.

The current job market for college students is all about distribution, not a two-way choice for future generations.

Li Yunhai will have to work hard to retain these college students.

As the company's formalization began, it became natural to divide departments and clarify divisions of labor.And when there is a department, there must be a person in charge, and promotion becomes a matter of course.

Li Yunhai discussed with several vice presidents and worked out a ladder structure for internal promotion.

The structure is in the shape of a pyramid.

This structure is adopted within the army and the system.

The pyramid-style upgrade system has a natural advantage, allowing members to form a bottom-up squeezing force.This artificial competition structure will strengthen all members' worship of the structure itself and breed a sense of superiority.

For example, if a teacher appoints students with good grades as class cadres, the satisfaction of class cadres does not come from the teacher's trust, but from the sense of superiority that comes from standing out from the group.

Even if the teacher at the top of the pyramid changes, all members still have a strong sense of identification with the pyramid itself.This order and loyalty are the inherent binding force of the structure.

Li Yunhai grafted this onto corporate management.

The pyramid-shaped competition structure continuously strengthens the internal consistency, making the sense of belonging and honor continue to increase, and finally forms: the same goal, the same proposition, the same set of norms, and finally strengthens the implementation of one-stop service.

In order to further strengthen the self-discipline of members within the pyramid structure, levels are artificially increased and benefits are distributed according to levels.It not only strengthens loyalty to the organizational structure at all levels, but also stimulates members' desire to compete from the bottom up.

The salary is linked to the level, from level 1 to level 23. Level 22 and above are high-level BOSS, shareholders and others.

Due to the different division of labor, employees within Sihai Group are mainly divided into management positions and professional positions.

People like Shen Xiulan, Zhao Jinping, Jiang Zhijun and others all belong to management positions.

Professor Ni, Ji Wenshu, Jiang Zhiyuan and others belong to professional positions.

Except for special appointments, ordinary employees who enter the group work are at the entry level, that is, level 1.

After gaining experience, upgrade to level 2.

Under normal circumstances, employees are promoted to one level a year. If they perform well, they can be promoted to two levels. If their performance is outstanding, such as breakthroughs in major projects, they can even be promoted to about three levels.

本科入职是13级，研究生入职是14级，博士可以到15、16级；17、18级一般是基层、中层的管理人员；21到23级就到了集团副总裁以上的级别。

There is only one person at level 23, Li Yunhai. He is also at the top of the entire pyramid and is the de facto leader and leader of the Sihai Group.

According to different departments and different performances, the speed of promotion is also different.

Taking undergraduates as an example, it takes about 7 to 8 years to reach level 16, and it is more difficult to move up further. The majority of students are below level 18. Level 18 is a hurdle. Going up requires re-evaluation and defense.

It is generally difficult to advance to professional and technical positions after reaching level 19. Levels above 19 are leadership positions and expert positions.

Professor Ni's salary level is actually higher than that of Shen Xiulan and others, and he must belong to the 22nd level.

Above level 18, promotions are divided into two levels in terms of rank and salary.

Even if you are still at level 19, because promotion is difficult, your salary can increase with years.

For benefits and bonuses, there is another set of inspection and reward systems.

After Li Yunhai formulated the promotion system and announced it to the public, no one had objections.

With this management system, everyone has a goal. Even project-level experts like Professor Ni will work towards higher wages and dividends.

Li Yunhai discussed with Shen Xiulan to adjust the corresponding salary system.

In 1988, the salary of domestic college students was not high, with the lowest salary being only 80 yuan and the highest salary being only 300 yuan.

But the salary level of Sihai Group is definitely higher than that of ordinary units.

I dare not say that it will be comparable to places such as Xiangjiang, but at least the salary is higher than that of foreign capital and joint ventures, otherwise it will not be able to attract talents.

Li Yunhai set the 13th grade salary at 1000 yuan, which is the income of undergraduates.Each subsequent level will add 200 yuan, plus bonuses and benefits.

Shen Xiulan smiled and said, "Then I'm just a technical secondary school student, so how do I count?"

Li Yunhai said: "You are the veteran of the company and cannot be counted based on this rank."

Shen Xiulan said: "If there is a more powerful financial person, I can give way. I do this for the sake of the company. The company is getting bigger and bigger, and the financial work becomes more complicated and profound. I will be unable to do what I do."

Li Yunhai said: "For other positions, only those who are capable will be promoted and those who are not will be demoted. Except for finance and human resources, your and Lin Zhi's jobs will not be changed at will. These two departments are the basis for the development of the group. Unless there is something more worthy in the future Someone I trust shows up.”

These words made Shen Xiulan feel happy and sad at the same time.

After get off work, Li Yunhai invited Shen Xiulan to his home for dinner.

Shen Xiulan shook her head slightly and said, "I don't want to go. I'm cooking at home. It's not bad to cook a little by yourself."

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "What good food are you cooking? Can you treat me to it?"

Shen Xiulan chuckled and said, "I dare to invite you. Do you dare to come and eat?"

Li Yunhai said: "What is there to be afraid of? If you invite me, I will go now."

Shen Xiulan gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, if you don't come, don't come to my door again!"

Li Yunhai first called home and said that he had a social event in the evening and would not go home for dinner.

Shen Xiulan sighed softly: "Liar!"

Li Yunhai said: "I'm not lying. Dining with you is also my entertainment. You are the vice president of finance of the company, and I don't even have time to fawn over you!"

He followed Shen Xiulan to the dormitory building after get off work.

After entering the house, Shen Xiulan opened the refrigerator, took out a few dishes, and said, "I originally planned to eat it for three days, because if you invite me to dinner, I have to cook it in one meal."

Li Yunhai asked: "Is there any good wine?"

Shen Xiulan said: "There is a bottle of white sand liquid, can you see if you can drink it?"

Li Yunhai said: "Okay, white sand liquid is good wine. Can I help you cook?"

Shen Xiulan said: "You are a guest or a distinguished guest. Just sit and watch TV. I will prepare it soon."

Li Yunhai laughed, turned on the TV, and picked up a book next to the sofa to read.

Shen Xiulan prepared four dishes and one soup and brought them out.

A piece of news on TV caught Shen Xiulan's attention.

"Hey, Yunhai, look at the dead man in the news, is he the one who robbed us on the mountain?"

Shen Xiulan exclaimed, sat next to Li Yunhai, and held his hand.

Li Yunhai glanced at the TV screen. It turned out that a dead body was fished out from the Xijiang River and broadcast on the local news column.

"No." Li Yunhai said, "Look at how fat this man is, how could he be the one who robbed us? That man has already run away."

Shen Xiulan sighed: "I don't know how many people drown in this river every year!"

Li Yunhai said: "Yes!"

While eating, the news broadcast was played.

The news these days is mainly about the First Session of the Seventh National People's Congress.

The meeting passed a constitutional amendment that "the state allows the private economy to exist and develop within the scope of the law. The private economy is a supplement to the socialist public economy. The state protects the legitimate rights and interests of the private economy and guides and supervises the private economy." and management” and “the right to use land may be transferred in accordance with the provisions of law” are enshrined in the constitution.It was decided to establish HAN Province and Hainan Island Special Economic Zone.

At the same time, the meeting elected a new leadership team.

Shen Xiulan put the beef in Li Yunhai's bowl and asked, "Will this news have an impact on our company's operations?"

Li Yunhai said: "The impact is huge! In the future, the land can be auctioned and will no longer be allocated. Also, Hainan has become a special zone, and business there will definitely be easier!"

Shen Xiulan asked: "Will the team below also be moved?"

Li Yunhai was shocked!
Yup!

One emperor and one courtier.

Lin Zhenbang has been the leader of this province for so long, will there be any changes?
Li Yunhai thought to himself and said: "No matter these, we just need to do a good job in our own business."

Shen Xiulan said: "It seems that the private economy can be started, and it will not be repeated casually, right?"

Li Yunhai said: "Yes! Policies will definitely become more relaxed in the future."

Shen Xiulan said: "Nowadays, things are expensive. Everything is expensive. The peeled and sharp meat costs 2 yuan per pound. If I get a salary of 80 yuan a month, I can only weigh 40 pounds of pork and eggs a month." The price has risen even more horribly, and I can’t even afford eggs now.”

Li Yunhai said: "Do you think the salary is low?"

Shen Xiulan smiled and said, "I didn't say that."

After dinner, Shen Xiulan cleared away the dishes, made a cup of tea and placed it in front of Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai seemed to have returned to the home of his previous life.

Everything is so familiar.

He drank from his cup and watched the news on TV.

The recent news is full of useful information and will have a profound impact on the development of Sihai Group.

After Shen Xiulan finished cleaning, she watched TV with him and said, "Nowadays, there are people rushing to buy all kinds of supplies. Why is there no one grabbing our office equipment?"

Li Yunhai said: "Because people who want to buy it can't afford it, our company's products are not products that ordinary people just need. Another thing is that we have always been open to supply and have not distributed it according to demand. No one thinks that this thing Need to snap up.”

Shen Xiulan said: "If I had known we would have produced TV sets, you see everyone is rushing to buy them!"

Li Yunhai said: "The price of TV sets will drop soon. There is no need to rush."

Shen Xiulan said: "Do you know?"

Li Yunhai said: "This is the inevitable result of industrial development. Our electronic products will also see significant price cuts in the future."

The two chatted as comfortably as a couple.

After watching the news, an advertisement for Sihai Group appeared. This was an advertisement for Blue Ocean Computer shot by Chen Hong.

Shen Xiulan said: "There is an actress named Gong Li who is very popular now. Her performance in "Red Sorghum" won awards abroad. Why don't you invite her to shoot a commercial?"

Li Yunhai said: "What you said makes sense. We will invite her to shoot the next advertisement."

Shen Xiulan said: "Hey, do you listen to me so much? No need for your little beauty Chen Hong?"

Li Yunhai said: "Well, I'm tired of watching this. Let's watch it with another beautiful woman."

Shen Xiulan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she lightly hit him twice: "It's all you can do, but you can seduce all the beauties in the world, it's all up to you, right?"

Li Yunhai grabbed her hand and said, "I can indeed do this! But the person I will never get tired of watching is you."

Shen Xiulan was inadvertently touched by his loving words, threw herself into his arms, and said: "I fainted that day, just thinking that once you get married, we will never be together again, my heart is like a knife! I feel Life is worse than death.”

Li Yunhai held up her chin lovingly and placed countless kisses on her pretty face.

"You are stupid! Who can separate us except death?" Li Yunhai said emotionally, "As long as you don't leave me, I will definitely not abandon you."

Shen Xiulan's eyes were sore and she said, "But you still want to marry another woman! You won't marry me! It's useless no matter how good I do, is it?"

Li Yunhai let out a long sigh: "Sorry, Xiulan, we missed it in this life! It's my fault!"

It's really his fault!

When he first came to this world, he actually still harbored some resentment left over from his previous life!

It's just that this resentment was hidden so deeply that even he himself didn't notice it.

It wasn't until recently when he learned that Shen Xiulan might have divorced him because of a heart disease that he had completely different thoughts in his heart.

And all the resentment and hatred from the previous life suddenly disappeared.

It's a pity that he woke up too late!
He and Lin Zhi were about to get married. Even if he loved Shen Xiulan, he could not marry her again.

Li Yunhai now admits that the breakup was indeed due to some kind of disappointment and resentment towards Shen Xiulan in his previous life.So when he had a better choice in this life, he decisively broke up with Shen Xiulan.

Otherwise, with his ability, wouldn't it be easy to convince the Shen family?
However, the fact has been established. Even if he loves Shen Xiulan again, it is impossible to hurt Lin Zhi and the child in her belly.

If life could be restarted many times, if he had it to do over again, he would definitely make different choices, right?
Shen Xiulan said selflessly: "Yunhai, don't worry about your whole life. Before you get married, I will be satisfied if you can be good to me every day. I feel that I was so stupid before and wasted so much time with you."

Li Yunhai hugged her and walked to the bedroom.

Shen Xiulan hung on his neck and snuggled into his arms tenderly.

Li Yunhai put her down on the bed.

Shen Xiulan finally stopped being shy and sat up, taking the initiative to undress and untie Li Yunhai.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

Both of them were taken aback!
Li Yunhai said: "Who is it? It can't be your parents, right?"

Shen Xiulan said: "It's possible! They often come to see me. I'll go out and ask first."

Li Yunhai said: "We didn't do anything. Just open the door and I'll sit in the living room."

Shen Xiulan nodded.

The two arranged their clothes and came to the living room.

Li Yunhai sat on the sofa.

Shen Xiulan straightened her messy hair and asked, "Who is it?"

A familiar voice came from outside: "Xiulan, it's me! You are at home!"

Shen Xiulan looked at Li Yunhai in shock and said in a hushed voice: "It's Lin Zhi! What do you think we should do? Will this door be opened or not?"

Li Yunhai was also surprised!
Fortunately, he had the foresight to let Zhuang Yong drive the car away instead of staying downstairs.

Li Yunhai pointed to the bedroom and whispered: "I'll go inside and hide for a while. You deal with her. Don't say I'm here with you."

Shen Xiulan's heart was beating fast, and she couldn't think of a better way for a while, so she said yes.

As expected, these two people still have a guilty conscience! (End of chapter)
