This sentence was like opening a valve, and several old masters made bids one after another.
One wanted five meals, the other wanted eight meals, and they all said that if they were not satisfied, as long as Li Xu named a number, they would never bargain.
Seeing this scene, not to mention Li Xu, even Hu Yitong and others were stunned. They didn't know what was going on with them and why they looked even crazier than before.
After a moment of silence, Li Xu scratched his head and looked at them in confusion, "Didn't you understand? My eldest sister may have to stay in school after graduation."
"It's no problem. As long as your elder sister likes him, I will let him go to Wuhan to find a job after the New Year. If he can't find one for 500 yuan, then 1,000 yuan. If that still doesn't work, 2,000 yuan will be no problem." Master Song waved his hand and said proudly.
"Yes, yes, that's what we thought too." The others echoed.
Li Xu looked at Liu Gang in confusion, hoping that he could explain it to him.
Seeing him like this, Liu Gang said angrily, "Silly boy, there's more to going to college than just the college entrance examination. There's also the recommendation route. Do you understand now?"
"I know what you said, but it has nothing to do with the teacher." Li Xu was even more confused.
There is a shortage of talent these days, from the national level to the local level.
Not only are there few college students, but more importantly, the country will assign jobs to them according to demand.
This resulted in many places not getting a single one for several years.
But the problem is that it cannot develop without talent.
Therefore, the higher authorities will recommend quotas to some regions, allowing them to recommend people to go to university according to their needs and learn knowledge that is urgently needed locally.
After completing their studies, these people will return to their hometown to serve their hometown and will not be assigned by the state.
Of course Li Xu knew this, but what did this have to do with university teachers?
They are not qualified to recommend people.
When asked, Liu Gang explained, "Just because there isn't one now doesn't mean there won't be one in the future."
Now Li Xu understood that these people were gambling on Li Mei's future.
Without further ado, even if Li Mei can only recommend one person to go to college, the expense will be worth it for them.
Because that represents an opportunity to change the situation.
Even though everyone is calling the workers "Big Brother" now, the official-centered thinking that has been passed down for thousands of years is not so easy to change.
Thinking of this, he waved his hands repeatedly, "Masters, forget it. Not to mention that this is still a long shot, even if my eldest sister really can get the recommendation, it won't be her husband's family's turn."
In order to dissuade these people from thinking so, he had to speak more sternly.
After hearing this, everyone felt it was difficult to continue talking. They could only say shamelessly, "Xiao Li, can you help us mention this to your family? If they don't agree to the blind date, we won't mention it again."
Li Xu knew that Li Jiakang and his wife would definitely refuse without hesitation, so he agreed.
But even so, these old masters were still happy to treat him to a meal.
Li Xu naturally rejected all such requests.
Then everyone basked in the sun and chatted about other things until the end of get off work.
When he returned home and saw Li Mei teasing Li Wenbai, Li Xu couldn't help but say, "Sister, you have to be mentally prepared for what's going to happen next."
Li Mei turned her head and looked at him puzzledly, "What do you mean?"
Li Xu then recounted what happened today, and then sighed, "Even if you tanned yourself so hard before, you couldn't stop them, let alone now. After the Little New Year, I think the doorstep of our house will be trampled down by people."
Ever since the food rations were gradually restored, the Li family no longer had to pretend to be hungry.
After a few months, without deliberately exposing themselves to the sun, everyone else's skin color had almost recovered except Li Xu.
Li Mei also returned to her former pretty appearance.
In this day and age, it's already very good to find someone with this kind of appearance, not to mention that she is a college student.
It is conceivable that once the news of her return spreads, how many people will come to propose marriage to her.
Li Mei's face darkened. "How could our family have such a barrier? Besides, they are attracted by my status as a college student, not my appearance. As long as I have this status, they would be willing to give it a try even if I am ugly.
As for the question you just mentioned, I will tell my parents later, and if anyone tries to do the same, I will use your excuse to reply to them."
"You don't understand men. Some people don't care about your identity, they only care about your appearance."
"You're talking about yourself, right? You were so reluctant before the blind date, but you insisted on getting married after just one meeting."
"Don't talk nonsense." Li Xu shouted righteously, "I was attracted by Xiaohong's frankness, not because of her appearance."
Li Mei scoffed, "Do you think I'm so easy to please because I'm your little sister?"
"If you don't believe me, forget it." Li Xu felt that he couldn't argue with her, so he could only throw out a few words and then turned and walked out.
But the back figure looked like he was fleeing in panic.
Seeing him like this, Li Mei smiled even more happily and said to Li Ju who was standing beside her, "Little sister, you must never learn from your second brother in the future. He never tells the truth."
Li Ju frowned and looked at her in confusion, "But Second Brother has never lied to me."
"Forehead..."
This made Li Mei not know how to refute it.
After thinking for a moment, he reached out and rubbed her little head, and said softly, "You just need to know that you can't tell lies, especially to our relatives."
"I know that those who tell lies are not good children." Li Ju responded seriously.
Li Mei nodded with satisfaction, then squatted down and continued to tease Li Wenbai.
During dinner.
After hearing Li Mei recount what happened at Li Xu's workplace, Li Jiakang and the others were stunned. Then they were filled with disbelief. "Are they crazy? They're willing to pay such a high price for something so uncertain."
"Compared to this, I think the idea of a medicinal bath protecting against bullets is even less reliable." Li Xu curled his lips. "They're just talking about it, they haven't spent a cent yet. I'm actually throwing out over a thousand dollars, and no one knows what the effect will be."
He had already used up all the herbs he bought last month.
According to Mr. Qi, soaking to this point is enough. If you continue soaking, not only will there be no increase, but it will also cost more money.
People who are familiar with Li Xu know that he is the most receptive to advice, so he decisively stopped this money-consuming activity.
Afterwards, I also tested my own defense.
You know what, the effect is really good. I can withstand much more beatings now.
But the problem is that no one knows if it can withstand bullets.
After all, he is not stupid, how could he point a gun at himself?
