The weekend arrived quickly, and Zhou Yuanchao and everyone at the research institute were all beaming with joy.
Because the room allocation ceremony will be held in the auditorium tonight.
This time, a total of 267 people were allocated houses, accounting for 63% of the total population, and the family solved their housing problem in the research institute.
The remaining 37% are people who don't need a house, such as Huo Yingjie and Zhou Yuanchao. They have good houses outside and don't need an extra one. They also don't want to compete with their colleagues for one; it's pointless.
Another group of people chose to accept the money because their original housing conditions were quite good.
This was their own decision, and Huo Yingjie and Zhou Yuanchao, the two top leaders and the second-in-command, also agreed.
The housing problem at the research institute has now been successfully resolved.
“Boss, if your wife is free, she can come over too,” Zhou Yuanchao said. “There are some performances today, including some by our own employees, and I asked Wang Ying to find Qi Xiaoyan to come and sing a few songs.”
Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "You certainly know how to handle things!"
“Since we’re going to hold a major event, I’ll make it as grand as possible,” Zhou Yuanchao said. “Anyway, I’ve already made all the arrangements. Those old experts, you didn’t see them, sigh, their accommodations aren’t good.”
"Based on their achievements and seniority, most experts can be allocated small villas," Huo Yingjie said. "Anyway, there is still vacant land over there, so whoever makes achievements in the future will also be rewarded with a house."
“Yes, right now they’re doing landscaping and building sports facilities over there. The mountain paths are all done, and peach trees have been planted,” Zhou Yuanchao said. “Today, our very talkative Director Zheng actually slipped me a pack of cigarettes.”
"Haha, you can see you're happy." Huo Yingjie laughed. "It's not about scarcity but about inequality. We must handle housing allocation carefully in the future and not let the person in charge abuse their power for personal gain."
"Yes, I've got it." Zhou Yuanchao said, "Whether or not a house is allocated is not decided by one person, but by the housing allocation group. There are eleven people in total, and I'm one of them. You're so busy, so I didn't bother you."
"Yes, we should listen to the opinions of our comrades more often." Huo Yingjie nodded. "Alright, if Tian Tian is free, I'll bring her over."
At noon, Huo Yingjie called He Tiantian.
He Tiantian would naturally not let such an opportunity pass her by; she was determined to go.
He Tiantian is going to declare "sovereignty" and make those philanderers back down.
Although such situations are not common in serious places like research institutes, it doesn't mean they don't happen.
Hearing that Qi Xiaoyan and Wang Ying were also going, He Tiantian directly asked the two of them to come over, and the three of them dressed up together and went together.
Because of her performance, Qi Xiaoyan dressed up very beautifully.
Niu Dajun was fine, so he went over too.
Entering the research institute was no easy task. Even though Huo Yingjie and Zhou Yuanchao personally went to greet them, He Tiantian, Qi Xiaoyan, and others still had to undergo rigorous checks.
After all, the research here is top-notch internationally.
The institute's security guards are often able to catch people acting suspiciously, so they are very cautious.
They were only allowed in after a thorough check.
Upon arriving at the auditorium, Huo Yingjie led He Tiantian and the others to their designated seats.
Today's hosts are Zhou Yuanchao and a 40-year-old woman from the logistics department.
When Zhou Yuanchao took the stage, after a short introduction, everyone was very excited and kept applauding.
Not only what the host said today, but everything made the audience very happy and gave them rounds of applause.
Even those experts who are usually taciturn and older.
When they were first assigned here, they thought they were being sent to a place no one cared about, but after starting work, they realized how lucky they were.
Not only did our income increase, but we also received a lot of benefits, which improved our family's standard of living.
That's not all. The key is that the working environment here is excellent. There are no distinctions based on seniority or age. When a project is assigned, it's not a one-man show by the leader, but rather everyone discusses together and uses brainstorming. This always leads to many simple and effective methods, greatly improving research efficiency.
"Now, let's invite our Chief Engineer Huo to speak." Zhou Yuanchao said some auspicious words and then invited Huo Yingjie to come up and speak.
Huo Yingjie was taken aback. Zhou Yuanchao hadn't mentioned it before, so he wasn't prepared at all.
He Tiantian looked up and saw Zhou Yuanchao's mischievous smile, and knew that Zhou Yuanchao was teasing Huo Yingjie.
Huo Yingjie obviously saw it too, and could only stand up with a wry smile, muttering under his breath, "This bastard just wants to embarrass me."
He Tiantian chuckled to herself and said, "Go ahead, just say whatever comes to mind."
Huo Yingjie stood up, buttoned up his suit jacket, bowed slightly, and walked happily down the aisle onto the stage.
Once on stage, Huo Yingjie changed his previous serious demeanor and put on a smile.
"I haven't prepared beforehand, so I'll just say a few words," Huo Yingjie said into the microphone. "Science is the primary productive force. This isn't just a saying; it's been proven through practice. We are currently in the midst of China's reform movement. We may not have shrewd business acumen, or keen political awareness, but we have a spirit of dedication to China's scientific endeavors. However, while the country appreciates the fruits of everyone's hard work, it will also try its best to improve everyone's lives. I can't control other places, but I can guarantee that everyone's treatment at the research institute will gradually improve. I hope everyone will work together with me to create more miracles."
After Huo Yingjie finished speaking, he was greeted with enthusiastic applause from the audience.
These staff members, some with relatives and others with friends, had already compared the benefits at their research institute and realized that the institute's welfare was indeed superior.
My former colleagues and friends were incredibly envious.
They all knew that Huo Yingjie had fought for all of this. Furthermore, Huo Yingjie and Zhou Yuanchao were honest and incorruptible, and their subordinates were also incorruptible, so they were able to receive a larger share of the spoils.
A leader like that is hard to find even with a lantern, so everyone works very hard and wants to stay here.
Huo Yingjie came down, handed the microphone back to Zhou Yuanchao, and glared at him from a corner where no one could see.
However, Zhou Yuanchao didn't care at all; he just wanted to tease his boss once.
Next, Zhou Yuanchao read out the list of experts who had won the villa. Although the list had already been made public, the people below applauded enthusiastically every time Zhou Yuanchao called out a name, and then the people whose names were called were asked to come up on stage to receive the keys.
Just as Huo Yingjie sat down, Zhou Yuanchao said, "Please welcome our Chief Engineer Huo to present the keys to everyone!"
Huo Yingjie was stunned. He wanted to beat Zhou Yuanchao up. He could have just given him the key. Why did he have to do all this nonsense?
He has never liked to show off like that.
