The source of the conflict between the residents of the two units is still the issue of "housing coordination".
These days, "robbing" someone's house, especially in a super crowded place like Shanghai, is undoubtedly a matter of life and death.
There is basically no relief.
Those who had to intervene in the coordination of this matter before were so troubled that they automatically backed off.
This is really too troublesome!
Zhang Hongcheng is not a stubborn person, so of course he won't jump into a trap.
He is not the Jade Emperor. The municipal company can give him face, but the employees may not necessarily have to do so.
Zhang Hongcheng shook his head like a rattle.
"Captain Lu, please don't hurt me!"
"I know my own limitations. As an outsider, how dare I interfere in matters that you local residents avoid?"
Chief Lu advised in a gentle tone.
"I'm not asking you to sell favors, I'm just saying, 'We're going to make some concessions'... It's best to be tactful!"
Zhang Hongcheng still shook his head.
It's such a troublesome thing, a terrible thing that everyone wants to get away from immediately after hearing about it...
Just two big front doors?!
"Chief Zhang, go ahead and tell them. As long as we can calm this matter down, your staff at the guesthouse will get movie tickets for next year..."
Zhang Hongcheng hesitated for a moment.
"I'm just worried that my words won't convey your meaning and misrepresent your thoughts..."
"Hey, Chief Lu, have you ever thought about moving these twelve apartments somewhere else?"
Section Chief Lu smiled bitterly.
"If I could change, I would do it immediately, but where can I find so many houses to change?"
Zhang Hongcheng squinted his eyes and smiled.
"If we could replace twelve households with a house that's one or two square meters smaller than the one you're currently living in, do you think the residents of your factory would agree?"
Section Chief Lu looked at Zhang Hongcheng in surprise.
"Director Zhang, you're quite capable. If that's the case, wait a minute, I'll go ask them right away..."
Chief Lu rushed there immediately.
Zhang Hongcheng smiled and turned around, just in time to see Chu Miaohong staring at him not far away, with a teasing tone in her mischievous smile.
"Are you trying to fool people again?"
"Don't slander me. I've always believed in the principle of win-win. I'm helping people solve their most difficult problems."
Chu Miaohong reminded him in a low voice.
"Housing issues are a very serious matter in Shanghai. Don't mess around or you might offend the residents."
"Besides, what good will this do you?"
Zhang Hongcheng did not tell Chu Miaohong about his plan because there were too many connections and twists involved, and he was afraid of failure before it was completed.
So he didn't say anything final to Chief Lu just now. He still needed to plan and contact some people about the specific operation.
The next morning, Zhang Hongcheng and Chu Miaohong got up early to go shopping.
As the future son-in-law, he certainly cannot go to visit his future mother-in-law empty-handed.
State-owned shopping malls were crowded with people before the New Year.
The two of them rushed in with a smile, and then squeezed out with a mixture of laughter and tears.
The two of them are worthy of being a pair, and each of them had one shoe squeezed off on average.
Although everyone is crowding together, few people take advantage.
whoosh~~~.
The shoes of both of them were thrown out one after another - they were completely broken, no wonder no one liked them.
Chu Miaohong snorted first, then raised her eyebrows complacently and whispered proudly.
"Fortunately, I had the foresight to buy each of us a new pair of shoes."
Chu Miaohong, who had put on new shoes, was about to throw away the two pairs of worn-out shoes, but was stopped by an old man with a sullen face.
He pointed at the huge "Shoe Repair" sign next to the shopping mall and began to educate Zhang Hongcheng and Chu Miaohong.
"You two youngsters threw your shoes in front of me and hit me in the face?"
"Give me the shoes! You're so young and don't know how to be frugal!"
The old man took a small hammer and nails and started hammering and banging. He also cut a few pieces of plastic, heated them with red-hot tongs, and sewed a circle with thick thread.
Both pairs of shoes are like new!
This craftsmanship is simply amazing!
"Give me the money, it's only sixty cents, don't think it's too expensive!"
......
Zhang Hongcheng and Chu Miaohong wanted to buy a lot of things, some of which were not available in state-owned shopping malls.
Got to the black market.
There are already quite a few black markets in Shanghai.
In addition, as the Chinese New Year is approaching, not only individuals but also many units need to exchange some additional bills and materials, so the inspection units began to turn a blind eye, resulting in more and more people on the black market.
Zhang Hongcheng and Chu Miaohong are now wandering in a black market alley near the suburbs of Shanghai.
The two men's target was eggs and flour.
Zhang Hongcheng never had less tickets and money in his hands. The two of them had already bought eggs brought by seven or eight suburban families and were bargaining with a man about the price of flour.
More than 120 eggs, six small bags of flour totaling more than 130 kilograms, four cans of meat, 20 kilograms of noodles, eight fish weighing at least two kilograms, a brand new medium-sized military coat and five kilograms of brown sugar.
This was all that Zhang Hongcheng and his companions gained in the black market.
Adding the previous things, the back seat space of the van was almost completely filled.
An hour later, the van drove out of Shanghai and headed straight for Hangzhou.
Zhang Hongcheng glanced at Chu Miaohong in the passenger seat and joked with her first.
"Comrade Xiao Chu, this is your first time bringing your partner home. Are you nervous?"
Chu Miaohong rolled her eyes at him.
"Strange, I've never heard anyone ask that."
