Chapter 894 Don't Hurt Me
The office is now an independent unit. There are many units of various types now, so it’s no problem to have one more.
The advantage is that the welfare system can be complete. If she wants, she can build separate schools and hospitals, cinemas, libraries, sports stadiums, etc.
Cheng Hui did not build any of these. She only built welfare houses, ranging from 50 to 80 square meters, and allocated one to each person.
Of course she had a share, and the biggest one.
Now she has so many houses that she doesn’t have time to look at them.
Several staff members gathered around her and laughed, "My family has moved into the new house. We are very happy, but it is still a bit too small."
Most of the office employees are in their 20s and have only been working for a few years.
At this age, no matter which unit you work for, you are almost not eligible for housing, especially if you are single.
Now that Cheng Hui has been allocated a house, she is of course happy. Nowadays, filial piety is more important, and almost all unmarried people hand over their salary to their families. So of course they have to share the house with their families.
It doesn't make sense for one to live in a big house by oneself while letting the whole family squeeze into a small house.
Of course it’s different when you’re married.
So now many young people are so happy when they know they have the opportunity to buy another house.
According to the current rules, there are almost no people like Cheng Hui who can be allocated houses in several units.
An ordinary person can only get one house in his lifetime, and it is almost impossible to get a second one.
Even if one of a couple gets it, the other's unit may not give it to them.
This good thing of "getting another set" is something many people could never imagine in their dreams.
Cheng Hui looked at their excited expressions, thought for a moment and said, "Then let's set up 10 first prizes to make everyone happy."
Money can’t buy happiness. Now a house worth tens of thousands of dollars can make them so excited that they can’t sleep all night, but in the future even millions of dollars may not have the same effect.
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the cheers of several people were enough to blow the roof off the house.
If there is only one first prize, then the probability of them getting it is very small, but if there are 10, then there is hope.
The entire office still has about 200 people.
The news spread like wildfire, and everyone who heard it was overjoyed.
Finally, there is a New Year atmosphere.
The annual meeting started on time at 7pm.
Cheng Hui also invited some bigwigs to attend, including Sun Yong, Jiang Ming, Mr. Qi, Mr. Zheng, Qi Xingbang, Zheng Suhua, etc., and both families came.
Now the news has spread throughout the circle, and everyone thinks that Gao Yuan is the child of the Qi family, but the two families did not hold any recognition ceremony, and outsiders will not say anything, as he is not their child.
I wish this was theirs.
Especially when I saw Gao Yuan's handsome appearance and then saw Cheng Hui next to him, I felt even more jealous.
How nice it would be if this was their daughter-in-law.
Wait, it seems that the ending for Cheng Hui’s father-in-law was not very good either.
Everyone looked at Qi Anguo.
Qi Anguo also came.
He rushed back from another place to celebrate the New Year. Today is the last day of his New Year holiday. I heard that he has to hurry back to the northwest to take up his post tomorrow.
After Gao Yuan appeared, Qi Anguo was soon appointed to a city in the northwest.
The level has even been raised, but compared to staying in the capital, it is a world of difference.
Apparently rising, actually falling.
In ancient times, emperors exiled officials to the place where he was going now. No one knew what was going on.
But he was happy about it, otherwise the Qi family would be in a very bad situation, which would make people jealous.
Qi Anguo ignored everyone's gazes, nor did he look at Gao Yuan and Cheng Hui. His eyes were on little Peggy in Zhang Miaoyu's arms.
Little Peggy is almost one year old. She can already call daddy, mommy, grandpa and grandma. She especially likes to talk and will call them whenever she is asked. This melts Zhang Miaoyu's heart. Whenever she sees little Peggy, she holds her in her arms and won't let go.
He was jealous of her, but he had never held her before.
He glanced secretly at Cheng Hui and Gao Yuan.
Cheng Hui was walking around the field, talking to different people from time to time. Gao Yuan was standing next to her, never leaving her side, with his hand on her back in a protective posture.
Her belly is big now, so she really needs to be careful.
Seeing that neither of them looked at him, he quickly said to Zhang Miaoyu, "Give me a hug."
Zhang Miaoyu rolled her eyes at him and turned away without giving it to him.
Little Peggy seemed to understand what he said. She turned her head from her grandmother's shoulder and looked at him curiously.
Qi Anguo's heart was about to melt, and he whispered, "I am your grandpa, call me grandpa."
Little Peggy immediately called out sweetly, "Grandpa!"
Qi Anguo's mouth suddenly opened wide, and he took out a red envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into her arms: "This is the New Year's money given by grandpa. From now on, grandpa will give you New Year's money every year."
He didn't come back for the Chinese New Year. He was visiting the local area to give condolences. He only came back the day before yesterday. He didn't see Cheng Hui and Gao Yuan, let alone little Peggy. Today was the first time they saw each other after the Chinese New Year.
Little Peggy held the red envelope and smiled even more happily.
As a result, the red envelope in my hand was taken away.
Cheng Hui came back at some point, took the red envelope and returned it to Qi Anguo.
Qi Anguo's heart paused.
In the past, he and Cheng Hui got along quite naturally. Although they had many unpleasant things, and he had apologized to Cheng Hui several times, Cheng Hui was a very good person, and even when the truth was revealed, she never lost face for him.
Now, he had to return the red envelope in front of so many people, and he tried hard not to turn red.
He felt that the air around him was still because of Cheng Hui's actions. Although he couldn't hear a pin drop, he knew that most of the eyes in the audience were on him, and they didn't know how to laugh at him in their hearts...
Cheng Hui smiled and said, "Please don't hurt me. I didn't prepare any red envelopes today. You set the example. What if others follow suit? They all come to give red envelopes to Peggy. I can't afford to return them. There are 138 children here today!"
Everyone was silent, then burst into laughter.
Indeed, family members are allowed to attend today's annual meeting, and Cheng Hui said in advance that everyone is encouraged to bring children along, both to make the meeting more lively and to broaden the children's horizons.
No one pays attention to the first one because parents are afraid that it will become too noisy and annoying.
But they couldn't refuse the second one. This experience was rare for them, and even rarer for the children.
Originally, many smart people thought of this when they saw Qi Anguo giving a red envelope, and they also wanted to give a red envelope to Xiao Peggy.
Those who have not prepared red envelopes are indeed worried.
And, only for little Peggy? Should I give it to the children of other colleagues with whom I have a good relationship? How much to give?
It’s certainly not that Cheng Hui can’t afford to respond, she just doesn’t want to accept it and doesn’t want to set this trend.
Red envelopes are a considerable burden.
Although it is a matter of reciprocity, you have two children and he has four, so it will be very annoying when you go back. It would be even more troublesome if there is one in your family and six in his.
Qi Anguo's complexion looked much better, and Old Man Qi's expression also looked much better.
He was frightened just now and thought Cheng Hui wanted to draw a clear line between them.
