After touring the entire house, the group went to the balcony together. Zhang Huaibei and Director Chen, two heavy smokers, each lit a cigarette and enjoyed a good smoke.
Then Zhang Huaibei asked, "Director Sun, are you satisfied with this house after you've seen it?"
Sun Zheng'an smiled and nodded, "Satisfied, very satisfied. If I'm not satisfied with this house, I'll only be able to get a two-story villa like my older brother, but I wouldn't dare to dream of that."
"If you're satisfied, then prepare to submit the application!" Zhang Huaibei took another deep drag of his cigarette and exhaled a smoke ring as he spoke.
Their conversation completely stunned Director Chen, leaving him momentarily speechless.
If he remembered correctly, Sun Zheng'an's family already had a house, and it was even a tenement building. Why did they still need to submit a report for application?
Could it be?!
Director Chen thought of a possibility: that the other person had a powerful older brother who could manipulate things behind the scenes.
Even though he knew these things, he had to pretend he didn't, otherwise how could he get along in the future?
To everyone's surprise, the next second Zhang Huaibei asked him, "Director Chen, if you want to be allocated housing, you should also submit a report and apply as soon as possible."
Hearing Zhang Huaibei say this, Director Chen became even more confused.
"No, Director Zhang, I already have a house, so how can I submit a report?"
Seeing that Director Chen was still unaware, Zhang Huaibei and Sun Zheng'an exchanged a glance and burst into laughter at the same time.
"Director Chen, you're not aware of the housing allocation policy, are you? This time, the allocation of housing for cadres is different."
Next, Sun Zheng'an briefly explained the policy regarding housing allocation for cadres.
After hearing this, Director Chen stared wide-eyed in disbelief, threw away his cigarette, and immediately pressed Zhang Huaibei for answers.
"Director Zhang, Director Sun didn't lie to me. I really can return the original house and get a new one?"
"It's absolutely true, you definitely have a spot."
Upon receiving confirmation from Zhang Huaibei, Director Chen was overjoyed and immediately went to inspect the house again.
What a joke! I didn't get a share of it before, so watching it was pointless.
Now that I can get a room myself, I must look at it carefully.
Half an hour later, the group left the room satisfied and returned to the front door.
When Zhang Huaibei saw the bare gate, he suddenly remembered Sun Zhengguo's instructions.
"Hey Director Chen, could you arrange for a few people to add the name to this gate? Let's call it Starlight Community. Director Sun came up with the name."
"Alright! Director Zhang, don't worry, I promise I'll make sure the name looks great."
Director Chen replied happily that this would be his home from now on, and he would take good care of it even without being told.
...
In the evening, Sun Zheng'an pushed his bicycle to the Women's Federation next door, ready to pick up his wife and go home together.
"You're here! Hurry up, we still have to cook dinner when we get back!" Yu Li urged her husband as soon as she saw him arrive.
"Let's go now."
Sun Zheng'an didn't waste any words, turned the bike around and rode on, while Yu Li quickly took a running start and sat on the back of the bike.
The two of them swayed and slowly made their way out of the factory gate.
At this moment, Sun Zheng'an remembered the matter of room allocation and casually mentioned it.
"Honey, our workplace is allocating apartments soon, so we might have to move."
"Hey~! What does your company's housing allocation have to do with our family?"
Yu Li was probably in a hurry to get home and cook, so she didn't hear the important point and seemed indifferent.
Upon hearing this, Sun Zheng'an immediately became displeased. "No, honey, didn't you understand what I meant? I said our family might have to move too."
"etc."
Yu Li heard it clearly this time, and without even thinking about going home to cook, she quickly jumped out from behind the car.
"Zheng'an, explain yourself clearly. What's going on with the move?"
"Don't be so alarmed, okay?"
Sun Zheng'an had to stop his bicycle and then talk to his wife about the housing allocation.
But after hearing this, Yu Li still had a question in her mind.
"You mean the cadre housing is 100 square meters, and our family can get one? But there are quite a few cadres in your unit, are those houses enough to go around?"
"Haha!" Sun Zheng'an chuckled. "Let me put it this way! It's definitely not feasible for everyone to have one, but for cadres at the division level and above, the competition isn't too fierce, and besides, I'm the deputy leader of the working group in charge of this housing allocation."
Well, after his explanation, Yu Li no longer cared about going back to cook.
"Quickly, Zheng'an, take me to see the new house. It's not far from here anyway."
"Weren't you rushing back to cook?" Sun Zheng'an teased deliberately.
"Oh no! It's no trouble at all. It's okay if it's a little late. Our son won't mind."
Seeing that his wife had spoken, Sun Zheng'an had no choice but to take her there to look at the house again.
Unfortunately, the two of them didn't have a key, so they could only take a quick look around from the outside and then peek through the window.
However, Yu Li was already satisfied with the size of the house as she looked through the window.
...
The following morning, not long after the institute opened for business, Zhang Huaibei gathered all the members of the housing allocation working group together for a meeting.
"Comrades! The reason I've gathered you all here today is to discuss the housing allocation. This is the first time our institute has allocated housing on such a large scale."
Therefore, we urge everyone to pool their wisdom and efforts to devise a feasible solution that ensures fairness while also addressing the concerns of workers who are upset about not receiving housing.
Therefore, our task is very important. Please feel free to share your opinions so we can come up with a solution quickly and decisively.
After speaking, Zhang Huaibei glanced at his secretary and said, "Secretary Zhang, you are responsible for taking notes."
"Yes, boss."
Next, the cadres present spoke one after another, talking mostly about their length of service, family situation, performance at work, priority given to dual-income couples, and so on.
The meeting lasted all morning without reaching a conclusion, so everyone continued the meeting in the afternoon.
It wasn't until after 3 p.m. that the rules were finally finalized.
One of the strictest rules is that employees must have worked for more than ten years to be eligible to apply for housing allocation.
This alone shuts out more than 80% of people.
Moreover, this regulation must be strictly observed by both cadres and employees. If any violation is found, it can be reported directly.
In addition, many other strict regulations were made, which rejected another group of people.
In short, according to this regulation, after all the houses are allocated, about 5% of the new houses will still be left over to meet unforeseen needs.
After the meeting, Zhang Huaibei took the agreed-upon charter and went to Sun Zhengguo's office.
"Director Sun, this is the allocation plan we have developed. Please take a look. If there are no problems, please sign it. If there are any problems, we will continue to study it."
"So fast, Lao Zhang, you've worked hard."
Sun Zhengguo smiled as he took the report and read it carefully.
