Chapter 125 Modularity
In fact, the so-called "passing the position of principal to you" actually means "entrusting the teachers and students of Xincheng High School to you" in simple terms.
Qin Mengmeng knew it clearly.
There is no salary, no wages, no staffing, and no benefits.
There are only responsibilities, obligations and burdens on shoulders.
But Qin Mengmeng is not afraid of this.
As a small town test-taker who had only scored 130 points in the Chinese language test in the college entrance examination, she once truly believed what was taught in Chinese class: "Those who sacrifice their lives for justice are also worthy of respect."
After entering the society, she realized the importance of life and interests, which are related to the quality of life of those she loves and who love her in this world, and naturally she also pursues money...
But now she is not so short of money.
Within less than a month of live streaming, she already had a huge amount of wealth in her hands, enough for her parents to live out the rest of their lives.
It's time to do the things you want to do.
...Although if you think about it carefully, it seems that she has always been doing what she wants to do, and no one forces her to do anything.
After all, this is a modern society.
"I will do what I can." Qin Mengmeng said to Principal Su sincerely, "But you really have to be the principal."
"I like architecture, but I'm not good at personnel management." Qin Mengmeng said, "If Xincheng High School can use me in the future, please let me know, Principal Su."
Principal Su stopped smiling, and the two people's eyes met. They looked at each other for a moment before saying, "Okay."
Sometimes the most frightening thing about dealing with people is that you can't see through their true intentions. They may say good things, but they may be thinking bad things. They may extend a hand of friendship, but secretly hold a knife to kill.
But Principal Su knew that the anchor in front of him, Qin Mengmeng, should be a trustworthy person. She was not being polite, but really meant what she said, without any hypocrisy or affectation.
"In that case, thank you in advance."
Qin Mengmeng nodded.
That's how the matter was resolved.
Many things in this world can be simple or complicated, it all depends on how you think about it.
Qin Mengmeng tends to keep things as simple as possible.
After all, a person's time and energy in life are very limited. The more time she wastes on dealing with people, the less time she will spend on things that interest her.
She wasn't quite sure what Principal Su was thinking before he came over today, and what he was thinking now that they had met.
In short, she only wrote according to what the other party said on the surface, and only answered according to her first reaction and real needs.
Reality may not be the best solution.
But it is always the simplest solution.
The problem was resolved, but Principal Su did not move at all and showed no intention of turning back.
Qin Mengmeng looked at him steadily for a while before she had to ask, "Besides this matter, do you have anything else to do, Principal?"
Principal Su thought for a moment and said, "That's not the case."
"But now I'm back in the school office building, and there's nothing else to do. Staying in school without having to go to work always makes me feel like I'm wasting my time and doing nothing."
Qin Mengmeng nodded in understanding.
Humans, cats and dogs are the same animals, and they will develop meaningless behavioral norms over time.
For some people, not working at a worksite is as disturbing as a dog not being able to pee on a telephone pole.
For others, the same level of obsessive-compulsive behavior is not being able to slack off even though they are in the office.
Some people will suffer because of slacking off, and some people will suffer because they can't slack off. As a creature, people, because of the different things they pursue and their long-standing behavioral habits, will cause the same thing to happen to different people. Some people will be ecstatic, while others will be as sad as if their parents have lost their parents...
Speaking of this, there are actually quite a few people who would be ecstatic when their parents die...
But these are all irrelevant. What Qin Mengmeng is facing now is not something that requires a long discussion, but just two simple choices.
Principal Su wanted to go with them to kill time.
Qin Mengmeng can choose to agree or disagree.
Qin Mengmeng said: "As you wish."
She shifted her attention to another ghost.
In fact, at the moment, this person is more worthy of concern than Principal Su, because from Qin Mengmeng's identity, the other party is her client.
Although it is a bit strange, but at present, the role played by Qin Mengmeng in Xincheng Yinfu is indeed more like a real estate salesperson and decoration team leader than a host.
"I completely understand what you mean." Qin Mengmeng said seriously: "You want a house that can accommodate a family of three. To be honest, this is the most legitimate need in the world."
"I will definitely help you."
Parents, children, family and house.
Any functioning country and society has the obligation to ensure that every citizen in the world can obtain these things without any effort.
No matter how it ultimately pans out, no intelligent person would openly oppose these things that seem to be the essence of human society.
Not to mention that this incident can also serve as live broadcast material.
A look of gratitude appeared on the face of the man opposite.
But the Hound asked from behind: "But where do we start?"
The head of the dormitory crossed his arms and said, "Oh, it's so easy. Just move into the dormitory. But the first rule of moving into the dormitory is that you must obey me."
Qin Mengmeng: “…”
The dormitory head is trying hard to do good things, but...
"No." Qin Mengmeng said, "Where can a family of three live in a school dormitory?"
Not to mention it's a girls' dormitory.
The hound gave a sarcastic smile and said, "What can we do then? There is not a single house in this new city that belongs to us."
Qin Mengmeng couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard that and glanced at him.
With his age and experience, he should have understood this kind of thing, but... Qin Mengmeng smiled slightly, and understood in her heart that people like Hound would also hate being used as a gun.
Qin Mengmeng had no qualms about finding an empty house to accommodate the family of three.
For her, having a vacant house is a very bad thing. As for whose name is written on the house title and whether robbing a house is a crime in the underworld, she doesn't care at all.
But obviously these two people had the same train of thought and thought this was a bad thing, so they were unwilling to do it themselves.
In that case.
Qin Mengmeng thought about it and decided that she shouldn't continue following their line of thought.
Although Qin Mengmeng doesn't mind being used as a gun for others, she always does what she wants to do. It is impossible for her to turn around and deliberately hinder others just because it is in her way and she can fulfill their wishes. Going against others in everything and obeying others in everything are both equally indecisive.
But she couldn't let the people in the team think that she was someone who could be manipulated at will by others.
"This is easy." Qin Mengmeng said casually: "We don't need to build the existing buildings in this city. We can just build a new one that belongs to us completely. Then we can sell it to Mr. Qin. There should be no problem with the law."
In fact, this is definitely problematic legally.
Because the land belongs to the country, you can't just build a house whenever you want.
But, it's clear that the Hound doesn't care about the law.
There is no court in the New City of Hades. Where there is no court, the light of law obviously cannot shine in.
What he cares about is something in the dark, whose exact workings are unknown.
"This is feasible." Wang Mianmian said, "But isn't this too troublesome?"
"That's right." Yu Jiuye said with a bitter face, "Building a new house is not as easy as just kicking open the door and grabbing an empty house."
"If you're afraid there's someone in the house, I can lead the charge to kick the door. If there's someone inside, we can just turn around and run."
Yu Jiuye was mainly worried that if Qin Mengmeng really wanted to build a house, she would send him there to work as a laborer.
He doesn't want to be a laborer.
Although Qin Mengmeng is very generous in paying wages, it is obvious that one can get paid just by doing nothing on the live broadcast, so why does one have to be a manual laborer?
Qin Mengmeng naturally knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help but laugh: "You don't think I want to start from laying the foundation?"
Wang Mianmian poked her head over and said, "Eh? You don't want to lay a foundation? It's not good to build a house without a foundation."
Since she started working in the live broadcast room, she has also been catching up on some common sense. From civil engineering to live broadcasting, from cultivating immortals to the art of thick black, she has learned a lot of basic knowledge.
Laying the foundation for building a house is one of the new basic common sense she has learned.
"Well... building a house requires laying the foundation, but I'm a live streamer now." Qin Mengmeng said puzzledly, "Isn't it a bit too much for a live streamer to start building a house from laying the foundation?"
“No one is going to like this.”
[I was born in Rome: Do you really think you are not too extreme now? ]
"Anyway," Qin Mengmeng said confidently, "I won't go to such great lengths."
Besides, she doesn't actually know how to do it.
Maybe everyone in the live broadcast room thought she knew everything.
But that is an illusion.
Qin Mengmeng had only been wandering around various construction sites for two years after graduation. She had learned some things but not everything. She estimated that she would have to wait until she was at least 40 years old to evolve to that level.
"Do you know that there is actually a kind of modular finished house for sale in the world?" Qin Mengmeng asked. "You don't need to lay a foundation, and you don't need to put in any effort."
She pointed at Yu Jiuye.
Yu Jiuye was thick-skinned and didn't take her criticism seriously at all.
"Like the prefabricated steel buildings on construction sites?"
It was the oldest and most experienced hound in the group who first showed a look of sudden enlightenment.
Wang Mianmian sat at the kids' table, looking as confused as the dormitory head and the kid.
"What is a prefabricated steel house?" the dormitory head asked without shame, "Is it made of stainless steel?"
"Well... although it's not right, it's not far off." Qin Mengmeng reflexively took out her phone and wanted to search for a picture of the finished product to show them. She quickly realized that there was no internet here, so she could only say, "Prefabricated steel houses are made of iron sheets, but I'm not talking about that kind. That kind of house is completely rubbish except that it's cheap to live in."
Qin Mengmeng lives in that kind of house all year round.
It's cool in winter and warm in summer, and there's no sound insulation.
"The idea behind modular houses and prefabricated steel houses is to build a complete house directly in the factory, just like building blocks, and then transport it to the customer's designated location. After it is assembled, it becomes a house."
"We just need a large open space," Qin Mengmeng said. "If we're lucky, we can solve this problem within three days."
[I was born in Rome: Ah, this is really the most suitable choice. ]
[I was born in Rome: You are a genius to have thought of this.]
Modular houses have always been a concept advocated by modern architecture. When Qin Mengmeng was in college, she took an elective course. The teacher of that course opened his own company that specialized in this industry. During the class, Qin Mengmeng also made a design drawing and handed it in as homework.
It's simple, convenient, fast, and even cheap.
It is the first choice if you want to solve the temporary housing problem of a large number of people as quickly as possible. It is now widely used in construction sites, war zones, and... camping sites and tourist attractions.
Basically no one would actually choose to live there for a long time.
There are many reasons for this.
The most important thing is that this thing has an unstable structure.
In no case will the assembled structure be as stable as a reinforced concrete structure with a deep foundation.
It is like a person who is taking the postgraduate entrance examination in a different major. No matter how much he memorizes and does the questions, his performance will not be as solid as that of someone who is admitted to postgraduate study in his major.
If an ordinary house is located on the seaside, it will be exposed to wind, rain and sea water erosion all year round, and the outer surface may be corroded. After more than ten years, the internal steel structure will be exposed and rusted.
This thing would probably be dragged out to sea like a ship by the waves in the first year.
Or even worse.
It also leaks water in all directions.
Not to mention the most troublesome problem, that of water, electricity and network.
In short, if it were real, Qin Mengmeng would never recommend people to choose modular houses for long-term residence. This thing is only suitable for helpless workers and soldiers to make do in the wilderness for ten days or half a month, or for tourists who are eager for novelty to stay in the mountains for a day or two.
But this is Hades.
The client that Qin Mengmeng was going to serve turned into a ghost.
This is a completely different concept.
First of all… there is no wind, no rain, no extreme weather.
Qin Mengmeng has been live streaming for almost a month. The place has been bathed in moonlight, and it is quiet and peaceful.
