Siheyuan: I just want to live

However, although Hou Debang felt speechless about the nonsense said by Section Chief Feng, he still chuckled and said, "Haha."

"Isn't this the farm under our logistics department? A new deputy director has arrived. I'm bringing him to you to arrange a house for him!"

When Section Chief Feng heard what Hou Debang said, he looked curiously at Chen Feng, who looked very young.

Looking at that young face, and thinking about my own face which is already over 40 years old, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "It's true that people get pissed off when compared to others!"

Others have reached the level of full-time section chief in their twenties, but I have only just reached the position of full-time section chief at this age. There is really no way I can compare with others.

However, Hou Debang did not pay attention to Section Chief Feng's gaze. He continued, "By the way, have all the cadre buildings in our factory been distributed? If there are any left, please give one to this brother of mine!"

After hearing what Hou Debang said, Section Chief Feng took his eyes off Chen Feng. Then he turned to Hou Debang with a bitter face and said.

"Oh! My dear Director Hou! You know that our steel plant hasn't built a new building for several years. How can I have any staff housing to share with you?"

Hou Debang frowned when he heard what Section Chief Feng said, and then said in disbelief, "Is it really gone? Have all the old cadre buildings been distributed?"

When Section Chief Feng heard Hou Debang ask this, he showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, but still said with a bitter face: "Director Hou, to be honest, the previous buildings have been allocated, and even some cadres have not yet been allocated buildings!"

Hou Debang frowned and asked, "When will the new building be built?"

Section Chief Feng quickly explained: "Director Hou, as you know, our factory encountered some difficulties in the past few years, and the economic situation was not very good."

"Although the situation has improved, it will take time and money to build a new cadre building! I'm not sure exactly when it will be built."

Hou Debang knew that what Chief Feng said was the truth, but he still said to him unwillingly, "Chief Feng! Then tell me, what should we do? We can't let our logistics staff have no place to live forever, right?"

When Section Chief Feng saw that Hou Debang had pushed all the problems onto himself, a bitter look appeared on his face. He thought for a long time and then spoke to Hou Debang cautiously.

"Director Hou, where did this comrade live before? How about we coordinate and let him live in his original location? When the factory builds the new building, our Housing Management Department will give him priority in allocating housing!"

When Hou Debang heard this, he said angrily, "They used to live in Dongcheng District. If they still live there, then my brother will have to ride his bike to work for an hour every day. Don't you think it will delay things?"

After hearing what Hou Debang said, Section Chief Feng thought about it and realized that it would take more than two hours to commute to and from get off work every day, which was quite a waste of time.

So he frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Director Hou, our factory still has a few employee dormitories. How about letting this comrade live there first?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hou Debang waved his hands and said, "No, no! It's not convenient for them to live in a dormitory with such a large family. They can't live in the dormitory!"

Seeing that Hou Debang disagreed again, Section Chief Feng could only spread his hands and said helplessly: "Then I really have no other choice. There are only so many houses and they have basically been divided up."

Hou Debang looked at Section Chief Feng and said helplessly, "Section Chief Feng, think about it again. Is there really no house left in our factory?"

Seeing that Hou Debang was still asking questions, Section Chief Feng could only say helplessly, "Director Hou, it's not that I'm trying to shirk responsibility, but our factory really has no housing for cadres!"

When Section Chief Feng said this, his tone paused, and then as if he suddenly remembered something, he spoke to Hou Debang again.

"Director Hou, you know what? Actually, our factory does have a housing unit for cadres, but it's not a building, it's a small courtyard, and it's a little far from the factory. I wonder if you would be satisfied with it?"

Hou Debang was silent for a moment after hearing what Section Chief Feng said, and then he said, "Small courtyard? Where is it? Why don't I have any impression of it?"

When Chief Feng heard Hou Debang ask this, he smiled and said, "Director Hou, it's normal that you don't know that you live in the family quarters now. The small courtyard I'm talking about is not in the family quarters, but in the city!"

Hou Debang was even more confused when he heard what Section Chief Feng said, so he asked, "In the city? Are there still buildings for our factory in the city now?"

Hearing Hou Debang's words, Section Chief Feng smiled and said, "Of course there is! It's the former Wuwanghou Hutong, now Xinjiekou Xisi Beiba Tiao! The whole hutong belongs to our steel plant!"

"In the past, all the good factory leaders lived there, but later on, they built a cadre building, and basically all the factory leaders moved there. Now, those who live there are just some ordinary workers from our factory."

Hou Debang heard what Section Chief Feng said, and then he remembered that what Section Chief Feng said was true, but now all the people living there are workers, and he doesn't know if there is any vacant yard for Chen Feng. "

So Hou Debang asked, "Is there a yard over there? Comrade Chen Feng is a cadre in our factory, we can't treat him badly in terms of accommodation!"

As soon as Hou Debang finished speaking, Section Chief Feng said, "Don't worry, Director Hou! How could our Housing Management Section mistreat the cadres of our own factory?"

"I remember there's a small courtyard over there that hasn't been allocated yet. In my opinion, it's just right to give this courtyard to Comrade Chen Feng today!"

Hou Debang nodded slightly when he heard what Section Chief Feng said. Although the small courtyard at the entrance was not as good as the cadre building with three bedrooms and one living room, it did not look too bad either.

So Hou Debang turned around and whispered to Chen Feng, "Brother Chen, what do you think? If it's possible, then we will choose this yard?"

"To be honest, the location of that yard is not bad. It's only three or four kilometers away from the farm where you are going to work."

"And I remember that there is a supply and marketing cooperative belonging to our steel plant in the alley over there. It would be a good opportunity for my brother and sister-in-law to work there, so that they can be close to home!"

When Chen Feng heard Hou Debang's words, he was really moved, not for anything else, just for that small courtyard.

That is a small courtyard within the second ring road of the old city. To modern people, it may not be as valuable as the cadre building, but Chen Feng knows that the value of this small courtyard in the future will be much more valuable than any cadre building.

However, Chen Feng was still a little hesitant. After pondering for a while, Chen Feng whispered to Hou Debang, "Brother Hou! You know what happened in my family a few days ago. I am just a little worried about the safety of the people in the alley!"

Chen Feng had just finished speaking, and Hou Debang hadn't said anything yet, when Section Chief Feng, who had been standing beside him with a smile on his face, immediately spoke up.

"Comrade Chen Feng, don't worry, you don't have to worry about the safety in the alley over there!"

Although the conversation between Hou Debang and Chen Feng just now was a little quiet, Chief Feng was so close, how could he not hear it?

Although he didn't know why Comrade Chen Feng was worried about safety issues, Section Chief Feng still interrupted and gave Chen Feng some reassurance.

When Chen Feng and Hou Debang heard what Section Chief Feng said, they also turned their eyes to him.

When Section Chief Feng saw Chen Feng and the others looking at him, he continued, "Comrade Chen Feng! Although the factory leaders who used to live there have moved away, many of our steel plant's workers and other cadres still live in the alley over there."

"So the security department of this steel plant has specially arranged a team of guards to patrol the alley day and night to ensure the safety of the steel plant workers. So Comrade Chen Feng, you don't have to worry about safety!"

Chen Feng and Hou Debang both nodded slightly when they heard what Section Chief Feng said. Since there were people from the steel plant's security department patrolling, there should be no problem with safety.

Then Chen Feng and Hou Debang looked at each other. Hou Debang saw the agreement in Chen Feng's eyes, so he winked at Chen Feng and asked Chen Feng to look at him! "

After receiving Hou Debang's signal, Chen Feng shut up and stopped talking. He stood aside and watched Hou Debang's performance quietly.

Seeing that Chen Feng didn't say anything, Hou Debang turned to Section Chief Feng who had been standing next to him and said with a smile, "Section Chief Feng! Although the courtyard is nice, it's not as well decorated as the cadre building, and it's not as comfortable to live in as the cadre building."

Section Chief Feng, who was standing aside, thought that although he was not a very smart person, he still understood the implication of Hou Debang's words.

So Section Chief Feng said, "Director Hou, if you are still dissatisfied with something, just tell me directly. If I can do it, I will definitely do it for you!"

As for what can be done and what cannot be done, Section Chief Feng has a clear distinction. It is nothing more than using the steel plant's money to do his own favors.

In the end, as long as he doesn't spend too much of the steel plant's funds, he will be able to afford it.

When Hou Debang heard what Section Chief Feng said, he waved to him. Section Chief Feng immediately leaned forward.

So Hou Debang said a few words in Chief Feng's ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear, and then they parted.

After the two separated, Section Chief Feng looked a little embarrassed and said to Hou Debang, "Director Hou, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Hou Debang looked at Section Chief Feng who was in a dilemma, put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Hey! Section Chief Feng, what's the dilemma? Isn't it just a matter of writing?"

Although Hou Debang said it easily, Section Chief Feng still said with some embarrassment, "But..."

But he was interrupted by Hou Debang before he could finish his words. Hou Debang said, "Chief Feng, as long as you can help me get this done! Don't worry, if there are any new things in the purchasing department in the future, I will definitely not forget your housing management department!"

After hearing what Hou Debang said, Section Chief Feng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay! I'm going all out today! Director Hou, don't worry, I'll do it for you right away!"

Hearing what Section Chief Feng said, Hou Debang smiled and put his arm around his shoulders and said, "That's right!"

Seeing Hou Debang laughing, Section Chief Feng also smiled and said, "Director Hou, wait for me here for a while. I'll go get the keys for you!"

As he spoke, Section Chief Feng walked into the small office inside.
