After Li’s father and mother were told by Li Mu, they went to Xiling Coal Mine the next day and were preparing to voluntarily apply for the first batch of layoffs this year.

However, when Li Mu's parents came to Xiling Coal Mine Association together, before they could express the purpose of the trip, a director of the guild said to the two: "Oh, you two are here just in time. I'm just about to find you. I've been thinking about finding you these days, but you both took leave and went to bed."

Li Mu's parents were a little surprised, and then they heard the director say with an apology: "Daoping, Yunfang, you couple have always been a model couple in our Xiling Coal Mine. Now the mine is in a difficult time, and there are some problems that I have to let you couple set an example."

The union directors don’t know how to speak. Although they have been studying the issue of the laid-off list, in the first batch of laid-off lists this year, they have been avoiding the two-working couples entering the big list. According to the previous agreement at the mine, dual-working families try to arrange for women to be laid off as much as possible.

However, two nights ago, the vice chairman of the union, Xue Guilan, called her home by phone, and asked her to add Li Daoping and Xiao Yunfang to the list of laid-offs this month. The union director did not want to accept such offensive things at all, but when he thought of Xue Guilan's status and her husband as the head of Xiling Coal Mine, he could only do it with his teeth.

After waiting for Li Daoping and his wife for several days, they finally appeared today.

Li Daoping was a little surprised: "Director, there are many dual-employed workers like our couple in the mine. What example can we set?"

The union director hesitated and struggled for a moment, dodged the eyes of the two people, and said, "Isn't there another group of employees going to be laid off? In addition, our production cut plan for the second half of the year has also come out, and more and more laid off workers will be laid off in the future..."

Li Daoping frowned and was very confused by the union director's vague statement, so he blurted out: "Director, just say whatever you have. If you go around for a few more times, we will be confused by you."

The union director sighed, glanced at the two of them, and gritted his teeth: "Okay, I won't beat you around the bush. The guild decided to add you couple to the list of laid-offs at the end of this month."

Li’s father was a little surprised. Although he and his wife came here to apply for laid off, the guild just asked them to lay off again. What does this mean?

Besides, the matter of laid-off is a big deal. Those who did not add it casually and temporarily have been announced. The list has been announced and employees have also had a conversation. How could such a temporary plugging method be done?

When Li's father asked about his doubts, the union director looked a little dodged.

Things that do not meet the regulations are difficult to explain, especially the unethical things that try to destroy other people's jobs will be even more difficult to talk about. If Li Daoping spreads this everywhere and makes trouble everywhere because of this matter, he might have been scolded by all the mine workers behind his back.

So, the union director had to say: "Actually, it's a matter of time before dual-employees are laid off. If you don't have this group, you can't avoid it by the end of this year. If you don't believe me, I'll show you something."

The union director said, took out a list from the drawer and handed it to Li Daoping: "Look, this is the second batch of laid-off lists drafted. All the names with S marked after them are dual-employees. Look at how many of them are."

Li Daoping took a look at it. Although he didn't count it carefully, it had to account for at least half of it, and he also found the names of the couple in it.

The list given by the trade union director was not fake. Li Daoping and his wife were originally on the second batch of laid-off list this year, but now they are temporarily mentioned in the first batch.

Li Daoping has read the list but still doesn't understand. Since the name is in the second batch, why was it transferred to the first batch? However, his wife Xiao Yunfang reminded him: "After Daoping, don't forget why we came."

Li Daoping nodded. He and his wife did come to apply for laid off on their own initiative, but it was strange and funny that he and his wife were directly arranged to lay off for no reason.

But there is no need to delve into it. Anyway, both of them have been persuaded by their son and are preparing to go into business. Since that's the case, why both of them have to worry about this?

Li Daoping put down the roster and said to the union director very seriously: "Director, to be honest, we came here today and took the initiative to apply for laid off. Since the guild is willing to let us lay off, we won't say much, but you have to criticize us for a long holiday, starting from tomorrow until the official release of the laid-off notice, we will not go to work during this period."

When the union director heard this, his tears were almost over. This was great. Regardless of whether Li Daoping was telling the truth or not, but with his words, he could say to the outside world that the couple took the initiative to apply for laid-offs, rather than imposing them in, so that they would avoid being criticized by thousands of people.

As for taking a long vacation, this is too easy!

The union director immediately issued a note for approval of the two of them for a long holiday, stamped the official seal, and personally called the phone to their department, and explained it directly to their superiors. So Li Mu's parents got the application for a long holiday without any effort.

The union director was also very terrified. When calling the two leaders, he did not forget to point out that the two people took the initiative to apply for laid off.

So, Li Daoping and his wife became famous in Xiling Coal Mine.

When everyone was frightened by the word "laid off", the couple who took the initiative to propose laid off became the object of discussion in the entire Xiling Coal Mine.

...

Just when his parents went to the mine to apply for laid-off, Li Mu was too lazy to go to the driving school to attend classes, so he stayed at home to continue developing his own Yiting.com.

In the morning, Zhang Kexuan sent Li Mu a photo of several people during the performance through his email address. There were more than 20 photos in total, all of which were carefully selected and processed in the post-production. At first glance, it really looks like that, especially Zhang Kexuan, which is not an exaggeration to say that he is cool and handsome.

Li Mu immediately sent all these photos to Zhao Kang and formulated his first naval mission for Zhao Kang: to go to major forums in the province, promote simple planning bands on the website, especially the local Jinling website. The top priority is the campus forum of Jinling University.

Afterwards, Li Mu asked Zhao Kang to find a way to contact the editor of the current portal website, and to think of a public relations method, publish a public relations press release on the website, and promote the simple plan of the band. There are two key points of publicity. One is that this band is very good and the original song "Li Bai" is never tired of listening to it; the other is, to express the band's youth and popular style in a tactful way, something too rock can't be recognized by the mainstream market after all.

After explaining this, Li Mu no longer cared about how Zhao Kang operates. He just reminded Zhao Kang by the way: "Fifty thousand yuan is operating expenses, including his personal public relations expenses. If he feels it is necessary, he can go to Yanjing in advance to establish a good relationship with the editors of the portal website. Now the editors of the portal website are very easy to access, but once the portal becomes a high-profile online publicity platform, it will be difficult for the editors of the inside to get online.

So, Zhao Kang packed up a few clothes that afternoon and took his laptop to Jinling. Before boarding the plane to Yanjing, he sent Li Mu a message: "I will board the plane to Yanjing immediately and strive to complete the task."

Li Mu replied: "Public relations require costs, don't be reluctant to spend money. Try to get in touch with all the content editors of the portal website you can find. You can decide how to spend it yourself."

After replying to this message, Li Mu was amazed at Zhao Kang's execution. If this good partner in his youth could maintain such passion, he would definitely become his best partner in the future.

It took only one morning for Li’s parents to complete all the procedures from Xiling Coal Mine. Before they could have time to have a meal, they kept receiving various calls from their phones at home and their phones.

Almost all the people who called were parents' coworkers. When they learned that the couple had voluntarily applied for layoffs, they called to ask for concern. After all, this approach was really shocking, and the coworkers also thought that they must have a better way, so they gave up their jobs. The call also meant that they wanted to inquire about the situation.

Li Mu was frustrated by the constant sound of phone calls at home, but he still smiled and teased his parents: "My mom, you took the initiative to apply for laid off, which seems to have caused quite a stir in Xiling Coal Mine!"

Li Daoping smiled bitterly: "What kind of waves can cause? All the colleagues call me are just curious about why your mother and I were laid off on our own initiative and asked me if there is a better way out."

Li Mu asked casually: "The leaders in the mine should be very curious, right?"

"They are not curious." Li Daoping was a little confused: "It's a coincidence that your mother and I went to the guild to apply for laid-off. Before we could say anything, the union director said vaguely that the leader decided to add your mother and I to the list of laid-offs at the end of the month."

Immediately, Li Daoping talked about the strange things he had experienced today.

Li Mom said indifferently: "If you let me go, just go. Anyway, we have decided to go to go, so why bother with that?"

"That's right." Li Daoping smiled and waved his hand: "I guess our house will be filled with colleagues and colleagues after get off work. Let's see, we don't have to go to work anyway, so we'll just take Xiaomu to the countryside to see my parents and stay in the countryside for two days."

Li's mother nodded: "I'm going to check it out. I'll pack some clothes, go shopping on the street in the afternoon and go there."

Immediately, my parents began to prepare to go back to their hometown in the countryside after lunch, and didn't think much about the laid-off incident, but Li Mu felt something was wrong.
