Chapter 299: Fortune and Disaster

An Zhixia counted on her fingers for a long time, "It will be cold when the baby is born, so wait until uncle and aunt finish their work and come in October. I will pick a good house for you and your brother in the company, and see if you can get a three-bedroom house with collective heating in the company. Maybe the harvest will be good this year, and when your sister-in-law gives birth, your two brothers and sisters-in-law will also come with their children."

Fang Hongye asked hesitantly, "Zhiqiu told us about your company. Are those people really willing to give up a hundred or so houses? You can't live in so many houses."

An Zhixia smiled and said, "They asked for it themselves. The agreement has been signed, and the radio station and newspaper leaders have testified. How can they deny it? If they can't live here, they can stay. The overseas channel only produces seven programs now, and rotates four every day. Even with this, it's still a bit difficult to operate. We will definitely have to hire more people in the future."

"Hongye, Xia Xia knows what to do. You should take good care of your pregnancy now. When you have time, read a book. When you are tired, talk to grandma or take a walk. You don't need to worry too much about the family affairs. Be careful not to give birth to an old man," said Mrs. Jiang with a smile. "Besides, our family will take care of everything. We can't let others bully us, right?"

Fang Hongye nodded. "Grandma is right. They really went too far this time. They treated their work as a joke. They didn't learn enough lessons. I don't know what troubles will arise in the future."

After dinner, the three children came up to An Zhixia and talked for a while before going to take a nap.

In the afternoon, they went to Dongcheng District to film together. The next day, after An Zhixia finished the morning meeting in class, she asked about the moving arrangements.

"Teacher Xiao An, yesterday, at our request, our colleagues from the police station had a serious talk with other channel groups about abiding by the law and discipline. They also went with us to the family quarters and called on everyone to keep up with the pace of the organization and improve their awareness.

Those people thought that the police were trying to pressure them to move, so they didn't dare to make a fuss. Those who moved out first could still live in the remaining two-bedroom apartments, while the rest had to move into the staff dormitory.

I estimate we can finish moving most of it today."

An Zhixia nodded, "After they move in, you guys sort out the vacant rooms, and we'll divide the rooms tomorrow morning and handle the transfer procedures together!"

Everyone was very excited after hearing this. They had only been working for ten days, but they were able to get a house, a two- or three-bedroom building with a balcony, kitchen, bathroom and heating. Even the eight translators who had good connections and family backgrounds were a little bit unbelievable. This was a house they earned without relying on their family, just through their own efforts. A home to settle down! With a full sense of accomplishment, they looked at An Zhixia with almost devout worship, and decided to work hard wherever Teacher Xiao An pointed out in the future.

With hope, everyone is more motivated to work.

Although the overseas channel has only been on air for a week and everyone has been working for half a month, they got the hang of the business very quickly and now they don't need An Zhixia or Shao Tongfeng to keep an eye on them all the time. The two of them only need to check everyone's editing every day and give corresponding suggestions. In the future, they will only need to follow each program once or twice a week.

An Zhixia called Shao Tongfeng aside and asked quietly, "Is there a new person in the Channel 5 group?"

"Yes, he came yesterday and made quite a fuss," Shao Tongfeng nodded, frowned slightly and said, "I was just about to report this to you. The new deputy director Jiao came in with capital, and he has the strong support of the Dongcheng District Department Store, Xicheng District Textile Factory, Zhaoyang District Brewery and Taifeng District Paper Factory.

I don’t know how I told people when I first arrived, but I moved the Channel 5 group to our floor above, and then the contact person repainted and decorated the remaining four floors except for the second and sixth floors.”

An Zhixia's beautiful eyes moved, and she had already figured out why Jiao Yunlan was like this. With the funds of four large factories behind her, she had to take on the corresponding sales tasks, which was difficult to achieve with just one channel, so she showed some benefits from her hands and let the other four channels be used by her.

"Let's just work step by step during this period and see what tricks they can come up with. You guys learn from them, and then we can change the soup or medicine when the time comes." With a reborn person charging into battle and attracting firepower, she doesn't need to plan ten steps ahead.

"By the way, you keep an eye on her and see when she goes to the toilet. If you go there after her, tell her that the money allocated by the organization has not arrived yet. Remember to mention that I will find a way to ask the leaders for money to build houses for the employees and resolve the current conflict." An Zhixia said in a very low voice.

Shao Tongfeng was a little surprised, "Teacher Xiaoan wants her to accomplish this?"

She chuckled and nodded: "Isn't she trying to win people's hearts now? This just gives her another way. I don't want to take advantage of others, nor do I want others to treat me as a fool. The money was exchanged for a hundred or so comfortable houses. Although it is still a bit of a loss, it is the maximum we can get back.

I don’t need to bother myself with the construction of a new family compound for my company. It’s a tough job and doesn’t pay much, so I won’t get involved.”

"But the new Deputy Director Jiao got the upper hand," he said a little indignantly.

"But she has also offended a lot of people above her," An Zhixia said with a raised eyebrow, "So, I'll have to trouble you to wait until the documents for the new family building are approved, and then quietly leak the news, saying that we understand the organization's difficulties and have solved the problem of equipment by ourselves, and we don't want to get the money back at all!"

Shao Tongfeng smiled and nodded: "I understand. This will make the higher-ups look at her even worse. They will only focus on her and won't blame us. Don't worry, Teacher Xiao An, I'll get to work right away."

As he said this, he walked over and took one of them out with his arm. The three of them huddled in the corner and whispered for a while, with excited smiles on their faces, and then they took turns looking out of the window in the office.

Although each household in the staff building is equipped with a bathroom, there is only a washroom on each floor of the office building, and the toilets are located in a row of low houses at the downwind side of the back of the building.

They waited for more than an hour before they saw Jiao Yunlan and two other female colleagues walking to the toilet hand in hand. The three male colleagues came out quickly, took a deep breath, relaxed, and went to the toilet as usual, chatting and laughing.

Lesbians are slower and like to wait for each other. So when they go to the toilet, the people next to them haven't finished yet.

"Hey Brother Feng, can you get a nice house with three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom and a balcony this time? I'd be very happy if I could have a two-bedroom apartment and bring my parents and sister over!"

"It depends on how Director Xiao An arranges it," Shao Tongfeng said with a smile. "There are more than a hundred houses, and we can all get one that suits our taste."
