Chapter 822: One Room and One Living Room on the Ship

"Autonomy privileges?" Li Mingcheng shook his head: "That's gone."

Seeing Annan frowning instantly, not hiding his disappointment, Li Mingcheng smiled and explained:

"Forget about you, even I don't have autonomy anymore."

"Ah?" Annan was a little surprised: "What does this mean?"

Li Mingcheng explained: "All bases have reached an agreement. After boarding the ship, there will be no distinction between east, south, west, and north. All survivors will survive together. I will no longer be the head of the northern base."

Annan looked at Li Mingcheng.

There is nothing wrong with not distinguishing by region. After all, we are all in the same boat, so why should we distinguish by region?

But Li Mingcheng is a good leader, it is impossible for him to suddenly become an ordinary person, right?

Even if he agrees, the head of the western base may not agree!

Li Mingcheng explained: "For the sake of management, there will only be one chief on the Ark in the future, Chief Song from the Eastern Base. The chiefs of our other bases will serve as deputy chiefs to assist Chief Song in his work."

He said with a frank smile: "Chief Song is very capable and loves the people like his own children. I have no objection."

Annan nodded. That made sense.

After all, the prediction of new natural disasters and the life-saving ark were all developed by the Eastern Base. We should respect them no matter what.

Then he asked curiously, "What about the other officers?"

Not to mention other bases, just among their northern officials, there are a whole family compound of big leaders, and many small leaders like Lu Shuang’s father who have not entered the family compound.

There are quite a few high-ranking and low-ranking officials in each base, and with only one ship, it is obvious that so many positions cannot be provided.

Can these people be willing to become little white people?

The next strategic transfer task is quite large. If all these people go on strike, there will definitely be big problems with the operation of the base.

Li Mingcheng and the others had obviously already discussed this point, and he quickly explained it to her:

"After entering the Ark, some members of the leadership team will continue with their current work, while others will be resigned and given certain compensation."

Annan remembered what he said before, that he also had to compensate her and Gu Zhiyu, so he asked:

"What do you mean by compensation?"

Li Mingcheng said: "We will provide them with a better accommodation environment."

After a pause, he emphasized, "This is also the compensation for both of you."

"I will assign you several one-bedroom suites, and you can bring your friends to stay."

Annan twitched his lips.

Trade a large villa for a one-bedroom apartment?

What if I don't want compensation? Can I live in a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment?

She thought about these words in her mind and asked unconsciously: "Then who are the others who didn't get compensation? "

Li Mingcheng knew what she wanted to ask and answered truthfully:

"One bedroom and one living room are the best rooms on the ship. Normal accommodation is a room with 100 beds."

After a pause, he explained in more detail: "One hundred people live in one room. There are three layers of beds: upper, middle and lower. Each bed is 70 centimeters wide."

It is divided into three layers, and the bed is 70 cm wide... Why does this description sound so familiar?

Annan quickly responded: "Like the hard sleeper on a green train?"

But Li Mingcheng shook his head and said, "It's not as spacious as a sleeper train. There's only a bed in the room, no table or place to sit."

Gu Zhiyu: ...

Annan: ...

Are hard sleeper trains considered spacious?

When Annan went on a graduation trip with his high school classmates, he actually had to take a hard sleeper train because the flight was delayed as they were rushing to catch up.

She happened to buy a middle room at that time, and she still remembers that the bed could only be used for lying down. She couldn't even sit on it for a while because the space was so small that she couldn't even stand up straight.

Climbing up and down was too strenuous, so I could only lie there stiffly the whole time. I also had to be careful not to sleep too deeply, for fear of falling and getting hurt when I turned over.

The accommodation on the ship is even more cramped than the hard sleeper on the train. The living environment is too bad...

After all, the survivors will have to live on the ship for years, unlike taking a train where they can get off and rest when they arrive at the station.

If you live there for a long time, you will definitely go crazy.

Li Mingcheng saw Annan's shock and sighed:

"There is no other way. There are so many survivors and the space on board is limited. We also need to leave space for planting areas, production areas, work areas, etc. If we want to accommodate everyone on board, the living area can only be this far."

Annan nodded, then asked in confusion: "What about those who have stored a lot of supplies at home?"

In the past, only the poorest people in the base would live in the bunk room. Those who had stock would buy or rent a room to ensure that they had a private space, at least a place to hide their things.

If the ship is equipped with berths for hundreds of people, how will the supplies be managed? Will all of them be confiscated?

Li Mingcheng explained: "Those with ample supplies can rent a single room. Those with less supplies can directly redeem them for points - the ship, like the base, also continues the points system."

"Rent a single room?" Annan asked curiously, "Is that the kind given to us?"

Li Mingcheng shook his head: "No. A single room is a partition room of 1.8 meters by 2 meters. There is a bed on top and a metal cabinet under the bed. There is no other extra space."

Annan: ...

The room was smaller than both her and Gu Zhiyu's beds.

However, she understood Li Mingcheng's description, which was to divide the university dormitory for four people with beds above and desks below into four parts, and stuff a family into each part.

Although it is still very cramped, it is much better than a room with a hundred beds.

At least the bed is wide and there is space underneath to store supplies.

After hearing this, Annan no longer complained about the one-bedroom and one-living room apartment that Li Mingcheng gave her as compensation.

Is that a one-bedroom apartment? Then it would be a real mansion on the boat!

It’s comparable to the emperor’s bedroom!

Although it is a bit of a loss to exchange a self-governed villa area for a few one-bedroom apartments, it is also unrealistic to build another villa area on a ship where every inch of land is valuable.

A one-bedroom apartment is the best option on board.

At worst, if I can’t get used to living here, I can just move to my own cruise ship.

However, before the natural disaster situation becomes clear, it is safer to follow the main force.

Annan quickly accepted the arrangement and looked at Li Mingcheng and asked carefully, "How many one-bedroom and one-living-room apartments do you have?"

Li Mingcheng quickly replied: "Nine sets."

Annan, who was originally planning to bargain, suddenly choked.

It's not five, ten or twenty sets, it's nine.

This kind of unrounded number usually means there is no room for negotiation.

Just like if someone transfers you 100,000 yuan in red envelopes, there may be more in his account. But if someone suddenly transfers you 89,305 yuan, then this 80,000 yuan is most likely all that is in his account.

Sure enough, when Annan tried to get more units, Li Mingcheng looked embarrassed:

"I'm sorry, this is the best I can do. It's only because you have an old relationship with Chief Song that you can come up with so many ideas."

What this means is that these nine sets are the result of the leaders of the two bases giving you some leeway.
