Chapter 966: Resignation

Dou Xiaomin pulled her husband, Che Hongwei, and shouted at her eldest brother and sister-in-law: "Eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, let's go!"

The eldest brother looked at his younger brother and sister-in-law, wanting to say something, but was pulled by his wife, and the words that had reached his lips were swallowed back.

The two followed their younger sister and brother-in-law out and went downstairs without saying a word.

At the entrance of the residential area, by the roadside, Dou Xiaomin stuffed the bottle cap into her eldest sister-in-law's hand.

"You guys go redeem the prize yourselves tomorrow."

The eldest sister-in-law was stunned: "Xiaomin, you..."

Dou Xiaomin smiled: "I said I'd accompany you to redeem the prize because I was afraid that woman Zhang Huijun would cause you trouble."

The eldest sister-in-law's eyes turned red. Dou Xiaomin hugged her sister-in-law's shoulder: "Sister-in-law, I've been willful since I was a child, and I'm still the same now. All these years, no matter what I did wrong, you were so tolerant of me and treated me like your own sister."

"And my brother, he loves me the most. I still remember that when he first started working, he got his first month's salary on a snowy day. When he got home, he took a roasted sweet potato out of his arms; it was still hot."

Saying this, Dou Xiaomin looked at her eldest brother, tears shining in her eyes: "I hid in the room to eat it alone. When I came out after finishing it, I saw my brother squatting in the outer room eating corn porridge."

The eldest brother smiled, just like when he was a child, and rubbed his sister's hair: "Xiaomei, brother thanks you, but I think this car should be sold. Don't let money cause our brother and sister..."

"Eldest brother!" Dou Xiaomin interrupted her brother: "Do you know how much money you can make driving a taxi? If you work hard, you can make nearly 10,000 yuan a month at most, and even at the least, you can make 6,000 or 7,000.

If you sell the car, the money in the bank will at most earn some interest, but driving a taxi, you can earn the price of a car in two or three years."

"Right!" Che Hongwei spoke up: "You should keep the car. It's just that handling the paperwork and the operating license will take nearly 20,000 yuan. Xiaomin and I have less than 10,000 yuan in our hands. I'll borrow some from relatives and friends to get the paperwork done for you first."

The eldest brother was so moved he didn't know what to say, just kept shaking Che Hongwei's hand.

"Also!" Che Hongwei said: "Because the city is having a 'great leap forward' in the taxi industry, countless taxi companies are emerging, and they are of mixed quality. We must find a large, reputable company to affiliate with."

"I'll leave that to you." Dou Xiaomin said with a smile: "And the paperwork and such, you're familiar with the area and have wide connections, help eldest brother run around."

"Okay!" Che Hongwei nodded: "Then I'll take two days off and go with eldest brother to redeem the prize tomorrow."

The eldest brother said: "I have no problem driving; I often drive the factory's cars, but I don't have a driver's license."

"Just let your brother-in-law handle it for you." Dou Xiaomin waved her hand, and a yellow minibus stopped: "Brother, sister-in-law, you guys go first, so second brother and sister-in-law don't come down to cause you trouble."

The eldest brother and sister-in-law also knew how much they were worth. Facing the second sister-in-law, the couple was no match, so they got into the car.

Watching the taxi disappear into the distance, Che Hongwei let out a breath: "Are you really going to resign?"

Dou Xiaomin nodded firmly: "Yes, and I've already submitted my resignation letter. I'm going to apply for a job at Xiangjiang Qiudongfang tomorrow."

At this time, Xiangjiang Qiudongfang was just an empty shell. Zhou Andong, the general manager, had no use at all. The useful one was Liu Wenli, the deputy director of the group's finance department, because she was managing Xiangjiang Qiudongfang's finances.

Now, the construction of Xiangjiang Qiudongfang's headquarters building had been put on the agenda, so the company's framework had to be set up as soon as possible.

Therefore, Wu Huilin sent Liu Wenli to the capital to temporarily serve as the deputy general manager of Xiangjiang Qiudongfang, responsible for the company's structural recruitment.

Dou Xiaomin was a cashier at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. She heard from a colleague that a foreign company called Xiangjiang Qiudongfang was hiring. At first, she didn't pay much attention.

But to her surprise, two colleagues she had a good relationship with suddenly resigned and advised her to resign as well.

And they told her that Xiangjiang Qiudongfang was a holding company and the major shareholder of the Yugong Group and Xurishi.

This completely tempted Dou Xiaomin. Especially in this era, working for a foreign company was more enviable than holding an "iron rice bowl."

More importantly, Xiangjiang Qiudongfang had just entered China, and the company needed a lot of people, so the success rate of the application would be very high.

It was just that she hadn't dared to tell her parents about her resignation, fearing the old couple's hearts couldn't take it.

"Anyway, I have you at home." Dou Xiaomin smiled slightly and hugged her husband's arm: "Even if I don't get the job, I won't go hungry with you."

"Fine, as long as you're happy." Che Hongwei smiled bitterly: "My salary isn't much, but I have no problem supporting you and our son."

"Heh!"

What Dou Xiaomin was most proud of was that she had married a good man. No matter how willful she was, he would unconditionally support her.

"If I get the job, my basic salary will be over 800 yuan a month. Sister Song and Little Wang said there are also monthly bonuses and year-end bonuses, averaging 1,100 to 1,200 yuan a month. After working for a few years, we'll buy an apartment with an elevator."

"Wait until you get the job before talking about it." Che Hongwei shook his head helplessly and reached out to stop a Xia Li taxi: "Let's go!"

………………

Zhou Andong didn't know that this prize draw didn't bring joy and happiness to all the winners; there were also troubles.

And he had been sitting in the Xiangjiang Qiudongfang headquarters in Xiangjiang, focusing on the futures market.

Because the sugar market wasn't large, 280 million US dollars were invested. No matter how cautious they were, it was impossible not to cause any ripples.

When the last day of September arrived, the operation was finally completed. Sugar had risen somewhat, but it was within an acceptable range.

At this time, Guo Qizheng had already appeared publicly in Geneva, and the team he sent had started contacting the Brazilian government ten days ago to negotiate the purchase of raw sugar.

Zhou Andong checked the time; it was already past nine in the evening, and then he clapped his hands.

"Everyone has worked hard this month. My treat, let's have a late-night snack. You guys choose the place."

Yuan Wanqi said with a smile: "Since the boss is treating, of course we have to go to the Jumbo Floating Restaurant. Everyone, don't you agree?"

"Yes!"

More than ten people cheered in unison, especially a girl in her twenties with a cute round face who jumped up.

The Jumbo Floating Restaurant was one of the most famous hotels in Xiangjiang and had appeared in many Xiangjiang movies. Of course, the price was also very famous.

"Let's go!" Zhou Andong waved his hand with a smile, "Even if I have to sell blood today, I'll make you guys satisfied."

Wu Hongkang and Zhang Shenghui let out long breaths. They didn't understand futures, but they had been staying at Xiangjiang Qiudongfang every day this month, and the solemn and tense atmosphere made them feel the pressure personally. Now that it was finally over, they felt much more relaxed.

As the group walked out, Zhou Andong asked Seeing Jian Qiu: "Is the flight booked?"

Seeing Jian Qiu nodded: "Booked, the flight is at ten tomorrow morning."

Zhou Andong rubbed his face hard with both hands: "I miss Su Su."

Seeing Jian Qiu grabbed Zhou Andong's hand: "I miss her too. It's been a month, I'm afraid she won't recognize me." ===== CHAPTER 967 =====
