Chapter 656 Envy

Although things seem peaceful now, and although her husband and Wen Guishuang have divorced and each has their own families, the child her husband had with that slut Wen Guishuang is still alive and well.

Once, she and her husband came out of a state-run restaurant and saw that family of three coming out of another state-run restaurant.

Although it's just a road, they are facing each other.

But she saw that her husband's gaze still involuntarily fell on that brat.

They say it's like having a fishbone stuck in your throat.

Yuan Chenxi is like that fishbone; when will it be removed, and when will she truly feel at ease?

Kong Fanrong touched his stomach, his brows furrowed tightly, though a cold smile played on his lips.

So what if we don't have children?

Even if Lao Kang's biological daughter is right next to him, so what?

As long as she doesn't agree to a divorce, the three of them can forget about living together.

She would never get a divorce.

Kong Fanrong, standing by the window, looked into the distance.

Today, the company gave everyone a day off so that everyone could move, so the whole residential compound was a mess, like a pot had boiled over.

Once dozens of buildings are built, there will be no shortage of housing in the entire 516 area.

The phenomenon of more than ten people living in a 30 or 40 square meter house has been basically eliminated.

Who wouldn't be happy to move into a new house?

Kong Fanrong tidied up, opened the door, picked up the vegetable basket placed at the door, and prepared to go to the grocery store to buy vegetables.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Sister Wang from the office on the way.

She and Sister Wang have always had a good relationship.

Sister Wang also wanted to buy groceries, but since her family owned a house and hadn't paid any fees, the two of them walked together.

After walking a few steps, Sister Wang glanced at Kong Fanrong's expression and lowered her voice, saying, "I heard that most of the cadres at the deputy director level and above in our factory live in the same building. My son went to help with the move, and I heard that there are large balconies with glass on all four sides. Our factory is also planning to get a batch of floor tiles, saying that they will first lay them in the homes of cadres at the deputy director level and above."

It was brought back from the south. It was quite expensive. But after it was laid, the entire floor is spotless. Your family is so well-off, and although I'd love to be your neighbor, our current building… for someone like Deputy Factory Director Kang, it's a bit of a waste. Didn't you think about having Deputy Factory Director Kang talk to the higher-ups and see if we could get an apartment?"

Kong Fanrong's face immediately darkened, and he gripped the vegetable basket tightly with one hand.

That's what made her angry.

Why should she, the deputy factory director, live in this building? Although there are cadres in this building, there are also ordinary workshop workers, and even temporary logistics workers living here.

It's not exactly a hodgepodge, but it's so noisy and chaotic every day, it's really annoying.

She had certainly seen the buildings over there, and putting everything else aside, the balconies with large glass walls on all four sides were really appealing.

Because you can see Hongxing Lake in the distance from the balcony.

In spring, you can place a rattan chair on the balcony, sit in it with a book, and have some brewed flower tea in a glass on the coffee table. You can also grow flowers, all kinds of beautiful flowers.

Moreover, the area was very quiet, and there were guards standing at the entrance.

But none of that matters to her anymore.

Kong Fanrong gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know what our factory is thinking. Why do we gather all these cadres here?"

Sister Wang sneered inwardly.

What else could it be?

Because you are all high-ranking officials at the division level.

"This is based on rank, which is normal. It's the same from top to bottom because your status is different from ordinary workers and you need special protection. I heard they're even planning to move senior engineers there."

Then Sister Wang added, "They said it was for a better work and life."

But in his heart, he was secretly gloating. If the enemy dropped a bomb on them, it would be a sure thing, wiping out the whole enemy force.

Sister Wang lowered her voice and continued, "I bet your husband, Lao Kang, won't let you go... but think about it, would he openly support you going?"

"Definitely not. He'll righteously and sternly tell you not to make the same mistake."

Kong Fanrong did not refute, because what Sister Wang said was right. Just now, Lao Kang had criticized her in the same way, telling her not to make mistakes and not to embarrass him.

Sister Wang's eyes darted around, and she continued, "My analysis is absolutely correct. Besides, you're of high enough rank and have made enough contributions, so why should you live in an old house that even Old Liang doesn't want? I heard that Old Liang lives in a better place than yours now."

"Sigh, let's not talk about this anymore. I can't go to the factory manager to discuss this matter anymore," Kong Fanrong said, frowning and looking unhappy.

Although Sister Wang was speaking up for her, her words still sounded very harsh.

"Why can't you find someone? Just ask for what you need. If it works, great; if not, what can they do to you?"

Of course, if you're ambitious, driven, and strive for selflessness, then disregard what I said.

Kong Fanrong tried to calm himself down and said calmly, "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."

——

The new buildings at Factory 516 did not satisfy everyone.

Some people felt that their current houses were quite good and did not want to spend money to buy a house. They even felt that since the houses were allocated by the government, why should they pay for them personally? They thought the factory was just making things up and cheating people out of money. Some even wrote letters of complaint about this.

Even so, it did not stop the construction of the new buildings.

Then the first batch of buildings were completed, and these people regretted it so much they were green with envy.

It's not that you don't know the value of something, it's that you don't know how to compare it. When you compare them, their current houses, even if they were allocated by the government, are too dilapidated. After all, they are almost twenty years old. How can they be compared with newly built houses?

Moreover, the individual pays part of the cost for this house. If you are transferred, unlike before when employees who are transferred had to vacate the house for others.

This time, you can sell the house back to your employer. It's said that the price will fluctuate with the annual housing prices, meaning that if the housing prices are high in the future, you can get more money when you sell it.

So there are also some people who are so jealous that their eyes are practically red.

So they banded together and went to the factory manager to demand an explanation.

Factory Director Hao and Secretary He were so angry they wanted to slap each of them.

They're all shameless.

When the document was first issued, these people were sarcastic and unsupportive, but now that they see the benefits, they're throwing themselves at it like crazy.

Some people even singled out Lu Qiaoge.

Lu Qiaoge isn't even a section chief yet, so why does she have a house in District One?

Who didn't contribute?

Without these workers, could Lu Qiaoge have accomplished all this on her own?

Lu Qiaoge never expected that she hadn't even moved into the new house, but had instead obediently stayed in the house allocated to Qin Hengzhi, and that all the blame would fall on her.

Factory Director Hao summoned Lu Qiaoge.

Lu Qiaoge didn't care at all and said to Director Hao, "There's no need to persuade them. We need to teach them to accept it, because no one can stop this trend!"
