Chapter 198 Cao Hui
Lin Yuzhu was stunned when she heard this, then looked over.
The person who spoke was a newcomer in their unit, his surname was Cao and his name was Cao Hui.
Lin Yuzhu was not familiar with this man, but was more familiar with his mother Zhou Hongying.
Because Zhou Hongying was also an old employee of the Housing Authority and had worked here for many years. She was usually a good person in the unit and got along well with her colleagues.
Lin Yuzhu had thought that she would stay until retirement, but who would have thought that in the first half of the year she would suddenly transfer the job to her youngest son, Cao Hui, who was working in the countryside.
She said that she had been working for so many years and was thinking of holding on for another two years before retiring. It would be nice to receive a pension every month in the future.
As a result, the younger son failed the college entrance examination twice, got married, had children and settled down in the countryside, and it seemed that he had no intention of returning.
She gave birth to five children in her life, and the eldest ones all work and live in Beijing.
She had only one little son, and she couldn't bear to see him waste his whole life in the countryside, so she discussed with her children and gave him the job.
In this way, Cao Hui came to work at the Housing Authority.
It's just that because Lin Yuzhu has been watching over the construction site mostly over the past year, she hasn't had much contact with him and they haven't spoken to each other much. She only knows that there is such a person, but she's not familiar with him.
I didn't expect that he would ask to rent a house at this moment.
Lin Yuzhu was a little surprised, "Secretary Cao wants to rent a house?"
Cao Hui nodded and explained a little embarrassedly: "Well, my wife and children are still living in the countryside. I want to bring them over, but there is no room at home, and I haven't found a suitable rental house. I saw that Director Lin's house was for rent, so I asked."
Lin Yuzhu understood, but was still a little confused, "Since your house is not big enough, why didn't you buy one before?"
After all, although Cao Hui is a newcomer, his mother has worked in the Housing Authority for many years. If he applies, he will probably be able to buy it for Zhou Hongying's sake.
Cao Hui shook his head and said, "I'm already taking advantage of my mother's job. How can I ask my family to spend money to buy a house? I just need to rent a house to have a place to live."
After hearing this, Lin Yuzhu had a better impression of him. After all, the fact that he was still thinking about his wife and children in the countryside after returning to the city showed that he was not an ungrateful person.
There is just one thing. She originally didn't plan to rent the house to anyone she knew. After all, if something happened, it would be difficult to argue among acquaintances.
So I was a little hesitant for a moment.
At this time, Sister Wang spoke up, "Xiao Lin, it's good for you to rent to Xiao Cao. At least he knows him. Xiao Cao seems to be a man who knows what he's doing. We're also familiar with Sister Zhou, so he won't build your house to his heart's content."
Cao Hui immediately said, "Don't worry, Secretary Lin. I promise to take good care of it like my own house."
After hearing this, Lin Yuzhu also decided to rent the house. After all, they were from the same unit, so it was difficult for her to refuse. Also, as Sister Wang said, Zhou Hongying and Cao Hui seemed like nice people, so it should be better than renting to someone she didn't know. After all, the management of rental housing in that era was not as trouble-free as it is in later generations.
So he nodded and said, "Okay, then let's rent it to Secretary Cao. I hope you can take good care of my house. I'll go check it out every once in a while. If the house is seriously damaged, I won't continue to rent it.
Also, we don’t know when we will move there. If we want to move, we will tell you in advance, and you will have to vacate the house at that time. But don’t worry, I will definitely not move in the next two years.”
Cao Hui felt relieved after hearing this. He would work hard for two years and see if he could buy a single room. Even if he couldn't, he would have enough money to rent a better house.
"Okay, let's listen to Secretary Lin."
