Li Xu shook his head. "Forget about the business I want to do. I haven't even taken my father-in-law to the family yet. Once I've found a way and confirmed that my idea is correct, I can give you some money-making ideas. As for the business itself, you'd better ask Xiong Xue. She's an economics student, so her theoretical knowledge is definitely better than mine."

He said he wanted to confirm his own ideas in order to tell Liu Gang that he was not sure whether the business he wanted to do was right or not. In order to prevent dragging others into the water, he did not allow outsiders to interfere, and he used his father-in-law's family as an example.

In this way, Liu Gang will not be unhappy after being rejected.

Unexpectedly, Liu Gang was not angry at all. Instead, he said, "If you need money for your business, just tell me. I won't tell you if you need more. I can give you 10,000 or 8,000 yuan without any problem."

"Then I would like to thank Uncle Liu first. Now that we have finished our business, let's go downstairs."

"Don't be impatient, tell me your opinion on this wild way."

Li Xu was speechless. "Uncle Liu, I'll come to your house in a few days to pay New Year's greetings and explain it to you properly, okay?"

"Okay." Liu Gang laughed immediately.

At this time, Uncle Xu also said that if Li Xu was short of money, he could lend it to him.

Li Xu also thanked him.

After the three of them got off the car, Uncle Xu said something to the others and then walked towards his workplace.

Li Xu told everyone about his plan to resign this year.

Everyone was stunned after hearing this. Some tried to persuade him, while others asked why.

Li Xu had no choice but to give a brief explanation.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, and it was a decision made after careful consideration, the others didn't say anything more.

However, they knew Li Xu very well and had already started thinking about doing business.

Then Li Xu went to find the logistics director Wu Mao and told him about the situation.

Wu Mao thought he was quitting his job to start a business because his salary was too low, so he persuaded him, "Xiao Li, the technical level assessment has been restored. If you feel your salary is too low, you can apply for a promotion and take the assessment. After passing the assessment, your salary will increase significantly. There is no need to resign."

The assessment of technical ranks was resumed in September 1977, but the promotion assessment for drivers in Tang County was conducted in the city.

There were already a lot of tasks at that time, and Li Xu was lazy, so he never applied for promotion.

Li Xu knew that he meant well, but he didn't explain anything to him. He just said that he had made up his mind.

Wu Mao tried to persuade him several times but to no avail. He had no choice but to agree to help him apply for an apprenticeship position.

Li Xu returned to the car team and continued chatting with everyone. Not long after, he saw Wu Mao hurried over and said with a pained look on his face, "Xiao Li, your application was rejected by Wang Dayou."

"What?" Li Xu was stunned.
