Director Pi was truly desperate. That night, he laid low for the boss and finally caught him in the middle of the night.
It was a dark and windy night when Director Pi suddenly appeared in front of the big boss who had just gotten off the car, giving him a big scare.
Director Pi was prepared to be scolded, but when the boss saw him, he just said angrily, "What are you doing? You're not going home in the middle of the night, but playing tricks here!"
Director Pi thought to himself, "If I can't see you again, I'll just have to become a ghost." Collecting rent is a small matter, but he's afraid that when the time comes, he won't be able to hold his tongue and blurt out all the big and small things. Then, it won't just be him who's being a ghost.
"President, I've been calling you, but you didn't answer, so I had no choice but to come here and wait for you."
"Oh, I was in a meeting and didn't answer your call. What do you want to talk to me about?"
Director Pi thought to himself, you answered the phone when President Gao called you, but when I called you were already in a meeting, who are you trying to fool?
However, this was just Director Pi's inner thoughts. Now, he put on a flattering look and approached the boss and said, "President, President Gao told me to resolve the issue of the vacant houses within a week. He also said it was your order..."
"Yes, that's what I said. Director Pi, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but look at what you've done!"
Director Pi lowered his head and said with some regret, "President, I have betrayed your trust in me. However, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on me. When they asked me to borrow the house, they only said that they would stay for a while and then leave. Who the hell could have imagined that they would stay there and not leave. I..."
Before he could finish, the boss sternly said, "Director Pi, stop making excuses. To be honest, the people from the provincial branch are taking the issue of your house being occupied very seriously, and President Gao is also doing his best to communicate with them. If you quickly do as I say, this matter won't get out of hand."
Director Pi looked helpless, "I can't do it in a week!"
The big boss added, "You have to do it even if you can't. Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble."
Seeing that the boss was a little angry, Director Pi quickly forced a smile and said, "President, don't worry, I didn't say I wouldn't do it! What I mean is this: one week is obviously not enough. I think it's better to do this..."
Director Pi lowered his voice and spoke to the boss for a long time. After listening, the boss frowned and was obviously undecided.
Seeing this, Director Pi put on a pitiful expression and said, "President, if we don't do this, the issues with those houses will never end. If I get caught with them over this little thing, there's no telling what will happen next."
The big boss got angry and yelled, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who said they were going to put you in jail?"
Director Pi thought to himself, who needs anyone to tell me this? Anyone can understand that if this matter is not suppressed, something big will happen later.
After the boss yelled at him, he calmed down. He knew that Director Pi was right to worry, but he also knew that Director Pi was a coward.
So, he thought about it carefully and felt that the method Director Pi had just mentioned would work. At least when someone asked about it in the future, he would have an explanation to put on the table.
Moreover, he was somewhat skeptical about his own promise to clear out the houses within a week. He was afraid that even he himself wouldn't be able to do it, let alone Director Pi.
Don't do to others what you don't want done to you. Just help this Director Pi again. Helping others is helping yourself, so that this little thing won't become a big deal.
Thinking of this, the boss said, "Well, Director Pi, let's put it this way. I will call a meeting tomorrow morning to try to get the plan you proposed approved. However, this is unprecedented, and I expect some people will object. Besides, these are the people who first asked you to borrow the house, so you still have to... understand?"
Upon hearing this, Director Pi quickly said, "I understand. I'll go find them tonight."
As he spoke, Director Pi opened the handbag he was carrying, looked around, took out a thick envelope from it and stuffed it into the boss's hand.
Then, Director Pi walked towards the special car parked in the distance without looking back...
That night, Director Pi was busier than a night owl. In addition to President Gao, he visited the homes of three vice presidents in a row, giving each one the same thick envelope and the same words.
After doing all this, Director Pi felt extremely tired. When the car arrived at his doorstep, he actually sat in the car for more than half an hour before getting off.
The next day, at the city branch's office meeting, the first thing to be discussed was the issue of allocating houses to unmarried people.
Except for President Gao, none of the people attending the meeting thought there was anything strange about this matter.
Although, ever since the idea of housing allocation came into being, there has been no precedent for allocating housing to single people. Moreover, no matter which document on housing allocation is included, it is clearly stipulated that single people are not allowed to participate in the housing allocation.
Moreover, some companies' internal documents explicitly stipulate that women will not be allocated housing even after marriage. Fortunately, banks are not so absurd, at least they have not stated that they will not allocate housing to married women.
Of those sitting at the conference table, President Gao was the only one who felt that the content of today's discussion was too strange. However, when he saw that the expressions on the faces of the boss and the others were too normal, President Gao thought of Director Pi.
Thinking of Director Pi, he thought of clearing the house in a week.
President Gao thought it was okay to allocate housing to single people. After all, these people would get married sooner or later, and then there would be no need to bother allocating housing to them.
However, the houses allocated to single people were still occupied, which President Gao thought was too strange.
It's not too early to express your opinion on something you don't understand. Besides, his opinion wasn't important at this moment, because the other three vice presidents surprisingly unanimously supported the boss's decision. It was President Gao who was hesitant, appearing to be alienated from them.
The meeting ended quickly, and President Gao wanted to leave quickly because he still had to accompany Sun and Yang.
Unexpectedly, the boss called him over. After everyone in the meeting room had left, the boss said, "Director Pi's suggestion is a great one. Instead of leaving those houses empty, why not give them to single staff members who don't have any houses? This way, we won't waste resources and we won't have people borrowing houses and then refusing to leave. Don't you agree?"
What the boss said was correct, but President Gao couldn't understand what it meant to give them houses where people lived. So, after the boss finished speaking, President Gao just nodded.
The boss smiled and said, "President Gao, I remember your niece is also single, right? So she's eligible for the housing allocation this time. Who would have thought that she would be allocated a house after just a few months of work? Where can I find such a good thing?"
After saying that, the big boss laughed and left.
President Gao looked at his back and thought to himself, you are absolutely right, who the hell could have imagined that such a good thing would happen!
