Chapter 180 Renting an Apartment in the Provincial Capital
Time passed quickly like sand in an hourglass, and in the blink of an eye, another month had passed.
At this time, Wang Yuanchao was watching the live pigs in the farm being weighed. Li, the purchasing section chief of the automobile factory, was standing next to Wang Yuanchao. He handed him a cigarette and said with a smile, "Manager Wang, the pigs raised in our farm are really an eye-opener for us. Although a live pig only weighs about 200 pounds, the fat meat raised in our farm is an eye-opener for the front-line workers in our factory.
In our automobile factory, we are served meat every day, and everyone is very excited. Everyone's work enthusiasm, work progress, and satisfaction with the factory leaders are rising rapidly.
Thank you for the hard work of our fellow farmers in the Red Flag Brigade."
The meat of pigs raised in farms is naturally not as delicious as that of domesticated pigs.
But the pigs in the farm stayed in the pig house every day without any exercise. Under Wang Yuanchao's careless feeding, the fat on their bodies was really enviable.
The fat pork as thick as a palm, stewed with cabbage and radish from the factory, the taste, which worker wouldn't be confused after eating it? Since mid-July, when the pigs from the Hongqi Brigade's poultry breeding base could be sold, the satisfaction of employees in the provincial motor factory, the automobile factory, and the municipal statistics bureau with their units has been visibly increasing.
How does happiness come about? Happiness comes from contrast.
As the capital of the province that is the country's big brother, the black market has a particularly large number of state-owned enterprises.
In addition, the working class is the real master of the country in this era, and the treatment is shockingly good.
But when you compare the treatment of other surrounding companies with that of the three units of the Provincial Motor Factory, the sense of happiness becomes apparent.
Eating big fat meat stewed with cabbage, stewed vermicelli, and lots of radishes every day, this treatment is definitely that of a white-collar worker in that era. How can people not be jealous and walk with the wind? As the administrator of the live poultry breeding base, in addition to the village cadres who are responsible for issuing invoices for shipments, Wang Yuanchao is very popular in the hearts of the purchasers in the purchasing offices of the three units. What, section chief? It’s nothing. We are all brothers. How can we have a section chief? Wang Yuanchao smiled modestly. Even though he has now gathered power and there is no shortage of purchasers’ concern and care every day, Wang Yuanchao has always been gentle to others and has never been arrogant. "Section Chief Li, you are praising us too much. It is under the leadership of the village cadres and with the support of the leaders of the automobile factory that our live poultry breeding base has such an opportunity to provide material assistance to our automobile factory.
We are heading in both directions, achieving harmony and win-win results.
It has not only improved the living conditions of the villagers in our Hongqi Brigade, but also improved the lives of the workers in our automobile factory. Haha, this is the result of our collective efforts.
By the way, Chief Li, is there any news about the rental house I inquired about?"
Section Chief Li looked at Wang Yuanchao in front of him. Although he was young, he was very fluent in official language and had a good understanding of the ways of the world. He sighed in his heart that this guy was really a smart guy and had a bright future.
But since his material supply was in someone else's hands, Section Chief Li did not dare to ignore Wang Yuanchao's request, and he quickly found it with the help of his connections in the factory.
"Manager Wang, we have found a house. It is right next to the Municipal People's Hospital. Although the house is only 50 square meters, it has a one-bedroom, one-living room and a kitchen.
The house is fully equipped with furniture and even kitchen utensils for cooking.
When my sister-in-law comes over, she can move in directly."
Wang Yuanchao said in surprise:
"That's great. Thank you for your help, Chief Li.
My wife is pregnant with twins. Although the doctor gave her an expected date of delivery in mid-August, I heard that mothers with twins often give birth early, so I plan to rent a house for a month so that my wife can rest and take care of the baby in the city. I can also feel more at ease.
Section Chief Li congratulated with a look of surprise:
"So they are twins, no wonder Manager Wang was so nervous.
Congratulations, congratulations, having two babies at once, this is a great event, Manager Wang, you should make a big show of it, right?"
Wang Yuanchao smiled bitterly at Section Chief Li and shook his head, saying, "Section Chief Li, the country now calls for simple weddings, thriftiness, no invitations, no entertaining, no banquets.
I can't go against the national policy, right? Maybe when the baby is one month old, I can invite relatives to come over and have a meal together. That's it."
The atmosphere in the whole country is very tense now. Many places have stopped working and the supply of materials is getting tighter day by day. Although under normal circumstances, it does not affect factories and rural areas, no one dares to go against the policy, so Section Chief Li was just being polite just now. After hearing what Wang Yuanchao said, he said:
"That's right, that's right, frugality is glorious, and keeping things simple is the best.
By the way, Manager Wang, when are you going to rent a house in the city? I’ll take you there to handle the process then.”
Wang Yuanchao thought for a moment and said, "Chief Li, how about in a couple of days?"
"Okay, Manager Wang can take the big truck we use to transport pigs here, and come directly to my factory when he arrives."
"Okay, thank you, Chief Li."
After watching the truck fleet from the automobile factory leave, Wang Yuanchao shook his head and walked towards his office.
In fact, there are many people who Wang Yuanchao can ask for help in renting a house for his wife. As the saying goes, the best way to make friends with people is to use personal connections . In Wang Yuanchao's mind, Section Chief Li from the purchasing department of the automobile factory has certain power and is relatively easy to deal with. Naturally, he is the person Wang Yuanchao is willing to make friends with.
So normally the relationship between smoking and drinking is nothing, but after someone asks for a favor privately and a personal relationship is established, it becomes more suitable for both parties to interact with each other.
Wang Yuanchao had thought about Chief Liu of the Municipal Statistics and Procurement Office, but this man was too arrogant and looked up to others, so Wang Yuanchao didn't want to flatter him, so it was better for him to keep out of the relationship.
Wang Yuanchao was looking at documents and drinking tea in the office. After a while, the team leader came over.
Wang Yuanchao stood up decisively, took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed it over, and said:
"Hey, Captain, why are you here at our poultry breeding base today? You are such a rare guest."
After the captain took the cigarette, he lit it and took two puffs, then said, "Hey, Wang Zhiqing, it seems like you're living a good life. You've even started smoking Huazi."
Wang Yuanchao gave the captain a knowing look, then pulled the captain's arm, asked him to sit down, and laughed: "Haha, isn't this a reward from the captain? Come on, captain, I'll make you a cup of black tea to thank you."
