Liu Gang kept looking at him and said unhappily, "Good boy, why are you bringing this up for no reason? I think your concern for everyone is fake, and your real intention is to get your relatives involved, right?"
Hearing this, Li Xu quickly complained, "Uncle Liu, I beg your pardon, we've been together for such a long time, don't you understand me? I'm really thinking about everyone, I just have a little selfish motive."
As he spoke, he stretched out his little finger and gestured as if it were a dime.
Liu Gang was just joking, but when he saw him like this, his face immediately filled with smiles. "Okay, I believe you. Tell me more about that relative."
"My relative has a large family, and his father is the only one who earns money to support the family. After deducting living expenses every month, there is hardly any money left. Now he is of marriageable age. He has been on blind dates recently, but the girls all look down on him because his family is poor. So I want to help him. It doesn't matter whether he can get a permanent job or not, as long as he can make money."
The relative Li Xu was talking about was Hu Guilan’s eldest brother Hu Yitong.
Hu Yitong is twenty years old this year. As the eldest son of the Hu family, he naturally has to take on the task of carrying on the family line.
So a few days ago, Hu Yang and his wife started looking for someone to introduce him to a blind date.
But unfortunately, since his family conditions were not very good, the girls said they were not interested after getting to know him.
In fact, this is also because the current blind date market is too prosperous. Basically every household has someone going on a blind date. With so many people, there are naturally more choices. Everyone wants to find a high-quality partner, and people like Hu Yitong are naturally not within consideration.
Fortunately, there were many girls in the blind date market, so Hu Yitong met one after another, and at most he met five girls in one day.
It is said that if you walk on the road at night too much, you will always encounter ghosts. The same goes for blind dates. Hu Yitong went on blind dates with so many people, so he encountered one.
And there is more than one.
During this period, after the elders of several girls learned about the specific situation of the Hu family, they spoke very harshly.
Some said that the Hu family was too poor and Hu Yitong was not worthy of their daughter; others said that the Hu family should not have married and had children under their circumstances, otherwise if there were a few more mouths to feed, someone would probably starve to death.
Who can bear to hear this?
So these days, Hu's mother, who went on blind dates with Hu Yitong, had many quarrels and fights with others.
It has to be said that Hu's mother's fighting ability is quite strong. She fought with others several times and did not suffer any loss. She only had a few scratches on her face.
But after being verbally insulted several times, the young man Hu Yitong could no longer bear it.
She would hide in her bed and cry every night, and look for a job during the day, saying that she would wait until she made some money before going on a blind date.
Hu Yang and his wife had no choice but to agree, but they also felt that this was a bit embarrassing, so they didn't tell anyone, not even Hu Guilan.
But the night before yesterday, Hu Guilan went back to her mother's house on a whim, and saw the scratches on her mother's face.
After repeated questioning, Hu's mother finally told the story.
Hu Guilan was very angry at that time. Although the Hu family was a little poor, it was not to the point where people would starve to death because of a few more mouths to feed, right?
Besides, the matchmaker was able to introduce those girls to Hu Yitong, which meant that the two families were not much different. Even if the girl's family conditions were better than Hu's, how much better could they be? How could he have the nerve to say that he was not worthy of his daughter?
Especially Hu Yitong, the eldest son of the Hu family. After being insulted, he actually hid in his bed and cried every night. How can this be the behavior of an eldest son?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and her stomach started to hurt.
You know, she was pregnant, so when Li Ping and the Hu family heard her say that her stomach hurt, they were scared and immediately sent her to the hospital.
Fortunately, the child was fine, but this matter was also known to everyone in the Li family.
After all, Hu Guilan's pale face could not be hidden from others.
After hearing this, Li Xu didn't know what to say.
You have to know that in this era, it is common for one person to support a large family like the Hu family. There are so many people going on blind dates now, how many of them have good family conditions?
If you don’t like it, then so be it. Why are you being so mean?
This made Hu Guilan very angry.
In order to make her feel better and not affect the fetus in her belly, the Li family decided to find a job for Hu Yitong.
Of course, just find him a temporary job.
As for formal employment, forget it. Our relationship isn't that close yet.
And they won't spend any money on it, it's just a matter of luck.
Just see if there are any companies that need temporary workers, and then ask them through your connections.
After listening to this, Liu Gang looked at him with amusement, "What if I say we can bring him in, but the higher-ups don't agree to us recruiting apprentices?"
Li Xu was a bit amused and helpless. "Uncle Liu, don't you feel like laughing when you say this? You're going to drag other masters into this, do you think the higher-ups will dare to refuse? Besides, this suggestion is also for their own good. Only when we are safe can they gain greater benefits. I really can't think of any reason why they wouldn't agree."
"You're still not smart enough. How can I feel at ease with you like this? What should I do when I drive alone in the future?" Liu Gang sighed.
"Ah?" Li Xu was stunned. "Uncle Liu, am I wrong?"
"No, you overlooked something very important."
"What is it?"
"As for apprentice wages, have you ever thought about how much wages those apprentices need to pay each year? Can you guarantee that the extra profits you earn will be more than their wages? If not, why would they agree?"
Li Xu thought about it carefully and found that it was true.
Now only Master Qi and Master Song have apprentices in the car team. If each of the remaining regular workers is assigned an apprentice, the institute will have to pay them thousands of yuan in wages every year. Can the extra profits reach this amount?
How could the institute agree when the investment is far lower than the return?
Thinking of this, Li Xu said dejectedly, "I thought this matter was too simple."
Liu Gang patted his shoulders twice and said amiably, "Think carefully about everything, especially when you're transporting cargo alone and encounter unexpected situations. Every decision you make is crucial. If you're not careful, you could lose your life. This is the last lesson I'm going to teach you. Remember it?"
After a moment of silence, Li Xu nodded and said, "I remember."
"Then remember this clearly, including everything I taught you before. I don't want to hear bad news from you one day."
Seeing the atmosphere was a bit dull, Li Xu quickly made a joke, "Don't worry, a fortune teller said before that I have a longevity sign and can live to at least 80 years old, so I will definitely be fine."
Hearing this, Liu Gang laughed and scolded, "You little bastard, you're always talking nonsense. If he doesn't calculate correctly, do you want to destroy his stall?"
