It is said that even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Ling family was not particularly outstanding among the four courtyards when the old man was alive, he was the one who shouldered the main responsibility. With his passing, that dignity was gone. All that remained was the organization's consideration of past relationships, which prevented them from taking back the two-story house.
The Ling family members are all mediocre, with no outstanding qualities, so their choices of employment naturally take into account factors such as salary, social standing, and career development.
Having worked their way up to a certain number of years, many of them had already been allocated subsidized housing, but they grabbed the spots and refused to move out, staying in the compound and still dreaming of climbing the social ladder.
Now look what happened, I don't know why these unlucky guys offended Old Zhao.
Although Old Zhao doesn't care about these things, he has a lot of influence, so asking him, a mere junior director, is both a matter of courtesy and an opportunity.
This document was passed up the chain of command, and many leaders had long wanted to purge it, but it was a huge pie, difficult to touch, and involved the interests of too many people. Moreover, the matter was complicated and not just about the Ling family.
With someone taking the lead, and with Old Master Zhao making a few crucial phone calls and showing great concern for the matter, a purge team was established!
The cleanup team needs to thoroughly investigate the situation of every household in the compound before they can come up with solutions, submit them for approval, and then carry out their work decisively.
The matter was quite complicated and involved many intricate personal connections; no one wanted to take on this job that would offend people.
Grandpa Zhao personally took charge, appointing Ke Meiyu as one of his key generals. He also gathered several retired elderly men and women, along with their respective bodyguards, to form a special purging team. They actually received approval from the authorities, who issued them official permits and gave each of them a work badge.
Ke Meiyu looked at the group of elderly people with gray hair, and then at the row of guards standing neatly behind them, and felt both amused and exasperated.
"Girl, you're quick-witted and have high combat skills, so you can lead us to sort out the residents of the four courtyards first, and then expand outwards." Old Master Zhao smiled and supported her.
"Don't be afraid. With us old guys around, no one will dare to say a word against it."
The other elderly men and women could only nod in agreement.
"That's right. Young people are quick-witted and have a lot of clever ideas; they can definitely help us get things done."
"Comrade Xiao Ke is exceptionally capable; this is a piece of cake for you..."
"Just tell me what to do, and I, the old man, will not say a word!"
Encouraged by her grandfather, Ke Meiyu shrugged and was forced into the situation.
She looked at the old man and said, "I'm worried about whether the organization has any funding. It's not easy for us to check the information one by one. Why don't we find an intermediary company and have them do a thorough investigation? They are professionals and definitely have the methods and connections. It's better than us blindly searching around like headless flies."
The old man frowned and couldn't help but ask, "What's the price? Or should I pay?"
Ke Meiyu shook her head: "If it's just one or two families, it's fine for you to pay out of pocket. But the task you gave me is to thoroughly investigate all the family quarters belonging to the organization."
"What I mean is, in order to prevent others from getting the news in advance and finding countermeasures, it would be better to secretly investigate everything and then act quickly to try to give the enemy no time to counterattack."
"Real estate agencies also take on debt collection tasks. In fact, the tasks assigned to us by our superiors are essentially this kind of task. We kick out unsuitable tenants to make room for new ones."
“This brings many benefits to the organization, Grandpa, I think you should mention it.”
“None of us are after this money. With Ying Yan here, the agent will take the lowest possible price.”
Grandpa Zhao nodded, "Yes, you're right. I'll call and ask right away."
To facilitate the discussion, he spoke directly with the person in charge, repeating what Ke Meiyu had said: "We are all old men and women with our own pensions. Who would want to ruin their reputation in their old age and covet this money?"
"You can't organize the people yourselves, and even if you could, can you guarantee that you'll get things done perfectly without alerting the enemy?"
"Making housing available for those who truly need it and those who have made significant contributions is a truly heartwarming benefit..."
The other party was quickly brainwashed, "Okay, since Old Zhao has said so, I will definitely fight for you."
After hanging up the phone, the man went to consult with others.
After repeated discussions and finalizations, they felt that although there was a shortage of funds for construction in various aspects, there were some areas where they could not be stingy.
This money must be given, and not only that, subsidies should also be provided to the elderly.
Older folks are always the best; who knows when we'll need these old men and women to step in again.
Everyone was delighted to hear the news, saying that they could still earn pocket money for their children and grandchildren after retirement.
They're currently engrossed in gossip, but it's a confidential matter, and everyone's keeping their mouths shut about it, afraid that someone might notice something amiss and ruin the mission.
Ke Meiyu quickly received her first payment, found an intermediary, and told Fang Jinyuan about it.
“Sister-in-law, it’s very simple. To make our work easier, we partnered with neighborhood committees in various places. We helped them create a fairly complete information database, which included a general overview of each household’s situation.”
Fang Jinyuan said with a smile, "Take the Ling family for example. The old man is gone, and it's recorded in the register. If you go and check, you'll see that no one in the Ling family is qualified to continue living in the four courtyards."
"These things cannot be faked."
"However, there is a situation now where a married couple works for a company, and they can find someone to help them get the houses from both sides. This requires a detailed investigation, but it's all about following the clues and it's not difficult."
