Chapter 556 Dormitory Arrangements

After hearing this, the two hesitated a little less.

After a while, the two of them, after thinking and discussing, returned to An Songyu's office.

An Songyu did not object to the two's decision.

She thought for a moment before asking the two of them, "You two aren't locals, are you?"

"Are you planning to rent an apartment outside, or will the company arrange dormitories for you?"

"The company has dormitories?" the two asked, somewhat surprised.

An Songyu didn't explain further, only nodding slightly.

However, the two hesitated about staying in the dormitory.

After thinking for a moment, they exchanged a glance before asking somewhat sheepishly, "May we ask how the dorms are arranged?"

"So, besides us, who else will be living together?"

"Also, how many people share a room in the dormitory?"

"Dormitory assignments are based on availability." An Songyu glanced at the two men's attitudes, lowered her eyes slightly, and then said:

"This is the first time our company has arranged dormitory accommodations for designers."

"If you have any special requests, please let us know."

As for Zhou Peng, the original plan was to make arrangements for his family as well.

However, because the Nanshi branch was established too quickly, he has already told his family that they don't need to come to Shuncheng anymore.

However, the suite assigned to him was not changed.

However, in terms of company affiliation, they and Zhou Peng cannot be considered to be entirely the same company.

"Then... when will we go to Shenzhen?" The two still wanted to know more about this.

An Songyu pondered for a moment before saying, "Actually, you will directly take over the work in Shenzhen after you join the company."

"It's just that accommodation in Shenzhen hasn't been arranged yet."

"So you don't need to set up a base in Shenzhen for the time being."

"However, it is also necessary to communicate with clients in Shenzhen and travel between Shenzhen and Shunde as needed."

"Of course, we will make separate arrangements regarding transportation."

When this matter was mentioned, An Songyu quickly jotted it down in her notebook.

Prior to this, the company had not considered this aspect of the issue.

Firstly, they usually accompany the group on their round trips.

On the other hand, both designers Zhou and Zheng brought their own vehicles.

Ah Jin, who was promoted from design assistant, bought a motorcycle shortly after joining the company so that it would be easier to get back to his home in Midtown.

Upon reflection, An Songyu realized the oversight in the company's management.

Because it has always been managed by a few people, and the company's management seems to be lagging behind its development...

An Songyu made a note of this oversight.

He continued chatting with the two of them.

Regarding accommodation, since the decoration company has plenty of office space, we'll temporarily set up our office here.

The dormitory room that was originally reserved wasn't really suitable for the two of them.

After thinking for a while and asking the young designer for directions to his home, An Songyu discussed the matter with the three of them and arranged accommodation for them.

"Our dorms seem to be quite far apart!" The young friend, who had been brought along by the junior designer, remarked with some感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, including nostalgia and regret).

The young designer, however, was quite curious as he circled around the house, which had clearly been rebuilt and was probably intended for rental purposes.

With some curiosity, he asked, "Who is the owner of this house...?"

The real estate agent who specially delivered the keys to the two of them replied with a smile, "You don't need to worry about that. You two can just relax and move in."

The junior designer didn't press the matter further.

The two people who overheard this were somewhat puzzled.

After the three of them carried their luggage upstairs, his classmate asked, "Isn't this the company's original dormitory?"

The junior designer shook his head slightly: "Before, there were no other designers in the company besides me."

"Although the company has other employees, they are either from Jiangcun or relatives from Jiangcun, or they are locals, so there is basically no need to arrange dormitories."

"As for the workers and managers in charge of on-site decoration, most of them need to be involved with the project."

“There are dormitories in Rongdi, and there are dormitories in Liangdi.”

"However, none of them are really suitable for you to stay there."

"Then what about this dormitory...?" The two were even more confused.

After all, An Songyu had made arrangements for the two of them in just a short while after asking for their opinions.

They originally thought this was a company dormitory!

But now, judging from what the junior designer is saying...

"It's probably a house built by the owner or his relatives, or by people from Jiangcun specifically for renting out," the junior designer guessed casually.

He looked at the two single dorm rooms arranged for the two of them, which, although not large, were complete with a bedroom, toilet, and even a small living room and kitchen, as well as the simple furniture already provided in the dorm rooms, and couldn't help but nod slightly.

He had always heard that the rental houses in Jiangcun were being developed towards a boutique model.

Although this was the first time I had seen it, it was indeed very different from many rental houses that still used communal kitchens and had only one toilet per floor.

"Are you going to use our rented apartment as our dorm room?" For a moment, neither of them knew what to say.

Hearing their tone, the junior designer couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Is it not suitable?"

The two of them shook their heads subconsciously.

It's not that this is unsuitable; it's just that finding a place to stay in Shenzhen is extremely difficult.

Moreover, this isn't an ordinary dormitory; it's a rental apartment that they might not rent on their own!

"I'm glad you're satisfied!" The young designer opened the window again and looked around.

Because An Songyu arranged for the two of them to stay on the third floor, which was neither too high nor too low.

The old house behind the window is quite short; you can see the grass growing on its roof clearly at a glance.

"This direction is the same as my home, and there's a direct bus to the company," the young designer explained earnestly to the two before leaving.

Even before he bought a motorcycle, he commuted to get off work like this every day.

Later, as he needed to travel to more places, he found taking the bus inconvenient, so he bought a motorcycle.

The two of them took notes carefully.

They even inquired about the company's work arrangements.

Upon hearing that the company did not restrict their clock-in time as designers, the two were once again surprised.

When they were in Shenzhen, their company was a specialized interior design firm.

Without special arrangements, they still have to go to get off work and leave work on time.

As for when it's necessary... it's best to go back to the company before going out without the leader's permission.

On the contrary, this new company gives people the feeling of being different from Shuncheng and Shenzhen.

It filled them with surprise and novelty.

Although we haven't officially started working yet.

The information and treatment they received left them with no regrets about their decision today.
