Siheyuan: Start as a truck driver

"Mr. Wang, look, this is the list of the first batch of people to move into the employee dormitories. If you agree, just sign it."

Wen Li placed a thick stack of information in front of Wang Weidong.

Since this is the first time that Red Star Company has allocated dormitories to its employees, Wang Weidong naturally had to personally check it.

After the next few dormitory buildings are built, Wang Weidong won't have to worry about this.

The allocation of dormitories is quite particular, mainly based on positions. In addition, those who have made great contributions to the company also have priority.

In addition, there are single dormitories specially allocated for singles.

In order to avoid chaos, Wang Weidong specifically stated that dormitories can only be occupied by employees and their immediate family members, and are not allowed to be sublet or loaned.

Moreover, property rights belong to the company and are not privately owned by employees.

Of course, employees can continue to live in this house after they retire.

However, after the employee dies, the company will take back the house.

This is very different from the distribution regulations of other units.

After many houses are allocated to employees, they directly become their private property.

Wang Weidong built employee dormitories to solve the housing needs of employees, rather than giving them as rewards.

Want to buy a house?

OK, when you make outstanding contributions in your position, the company will naturally arrange it for you.

Currently, there are only a few people who meet this standard.

Among them are eighth-level engineers including Wang Weidong's father-in-law Ding Boren.

These people have made significant contributions to the development of Red Star Company.

The reward of a house is really not much.

After briefly looking through the list, Wang Weidong signed his name.

"Urge the people on the list to move as soon as possible, and tell the finance department that this year's benefits can be considered to be paid in advance, so that everyone will not have to pay extra for buying home appliances."

"Yes, I'll do it right away!"

After Wen Li responded, she took the documents and left.

Wang Weidong lowered his head and continued to deal with his work.

...

When it came to moving, he still underestimated everyone's enthusiasm for the building.

For future generations, when choosing between a courtyard house and a building, they will definitely choose the former without hesitation.

But for today’s people, what’s there to miss about that kind of old and shabby young people?

In the winter, you have to go to the yard to go to the toilet. There is no running water, and even the bathrooms are public.

It can be said that life is extremely inconvenient.

Buildings are different and have none of the shortcomings mentioned above.

After those people on the list learned that they were assigned to a new building, they ran over to see it after get off work that day.

Some male and female employees assigned to single dormitories are even more decisive.

I went home, picked up some daily necessities, and moved into the dormitory.

Nowadays, many people still live together as a family. Those with a small family are fine, but those with a large family simply have no place to stay.

In addition, regardless of whether they are men or women, they always want to have some private space of their own when they grow up.

You can even be heard coughing at home, which is even more embarrassing if your parents are young and strong.

I thought I would have to wait at least ten days and a half for someone to move into the dormitory.

As a result, Wang Weidong heard reports from people below the next day that the occupancy rate of the single dormitory had reached 90%.

Many people have also moved to several other dormitories, including some residents of the courtyard.

****

On this day, Yan Jiefang went to school and found Yan Bugui in the office.

With that sneaky look, I didn't know, I thought he was here to learn to steal.

Yan Bugui was also very dissatisfied with his eldest son's behavior and scolded him: "What are you doing? It's like being a thief."

"Dad, have you heard about Wang Weidong's company allocating houses?"

Yan Bugui glanced at his silly son and said, "Lao Jiang in the front yard and Ergou's family in the middle yard have moved here. Do you think I can't know?"

Yan Jiefang scratched his head.

He almost forgot that his old man was the housekeeper.

He couldn't hide any troubles in the courtyard.

"Then do you know that Yu Haitang has also been assigned a house?"

"What's so strange about this? Aren't you the webmaster of that radio station? If you have anything to say, just say it quickly. I don't have that much time to chat with you right now."

Seeing this, Yan Jiefang hurriedly changed to the topic and said: "That's right, you think I'm not too young now, right? Shouldn't I also consider getting married?"

Yan Bugui understood what he meant instantly.

"Are you attracted to Yu Haitang?"

Yan Jiecheng nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, you see, eldest brother and Yu Li are a couple. They have been waiting for so long. They should have gotten married long ago. If I can be with Yu Haitang, it will be like kissing her."

Got a kiss.

Moreover, she has also assigned a dormitory, so if I move there to live with her, the house will not be so crowded."

According to Yan Jiefang's understanding of his father, he will definitely agree to this.

After all, my father has always been very keen on taking advantage of this kind of thing, so there is no way he could refuse.

I just didn't expect Yan Bugui's face to darken after hearing these words.

"You don't have to think about this, just give up on this idea as soon as possible!"

"Why?" Yan Jiefang asked puzzledly.

"Your brother and Yu Li have not been together for so many years. This matter is considered dirty. It's just that the Yu family wants to save face, so they have never proposed to dissolve the marriage."

"Ah? But you didn't say anything?"

Yan Bugui sneered and said: "Why should I mention it? I will drag Yu Li into an old girl and see what they will do!"

Yan Jiefang was speechless, and after a while he muttered: "Then it has nothing to do with Yu Haitang, right?"

"Yes, but you also have to think about whether others can like you. What is there in you that is worthy of others' covetousness?"

Yan Jiefang opened his mouth and wanted to say that he was good-looking and tall.

But if you think about it carefully, none of these things can be considered as good points.

Who is Yu Haitang? He always has his eyes higher than his head.

Wasn't her fiancé kicked out because of some trivial things?

He still took it too much for granted, but Yan Jiefang was not willing to let him give up like that.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So after a while, he came up with a new method.

"Dad, how about asking Wang Weidong to do some work on her thoughts?"

On the surface, it is doing ideological work, but in fact, isn't it just using power to suppress others?

Not to mention whether Wang Weidong would help, Yan Bugui himself couldn't help it.

Don't think that just because you have done a few small favors, you can make some undue demands.

Nowadays, he has the best relationship with Wang Weidong in the courtyard. Isn't it because he can handle things clearly and never causes trouble for Wang Weidong?

"Shut up, you, do you really think your father is a big shot? If I go and tell Wang Weidong, will he listen? I can sit in this position now because I don't cause trouble for Wang Weidong.

If you want to say it, you can say it yourself, but I don’t have the face to do so.”

When he came out of Yan Bugui's office, Yan Jiecheng had a grimace, as if someone owed him hundreds of thousands and hadn't paid back.

Yan Jiefang had this expression all the time he returned to the courtyard.

Yan Jiecheng was a little curious when he saw him like this, but he didn't ask any more questions.

The relationship between the two brothers is not bad, but it cannot be said to be good either.

After looking around inside, Yan Jiefang found that he didn't see his mother, so he asked Yan Jiecheng, "Where is mom?"

"I'm out, what happened?" Yan Jiecheng said.

Yan Jiefang shook his head and walked outside alone. As he walked, he unknowingly came to the iron gate that led to the backyard.

Looking at the closed iron door, Yan Jiefang was always troubled in his heart.

After much thought, he still felt unwilling to do so.

The boss has a job. Although the salary is not high, it is still work.

And he hasn't found a job yet, so he is thinking of going out to collect rags.

If this continues, let alone marrying a wife, when Yan Bugui wants to divide the family property, he won't be able to get much.

After all, one is for family use all year round, and the other only eats and uses what is at home.

With Yan Bugui's character, it is almost self-evident who he will pay more attention to.

Yan Jiefang must plan for himself.

The old man can't control his face, but he, Yan Jiefang, can. How much is face worth?

You have to give it a try, what if it works?

So Yan Jiefang went around to the back door, carefully sorted out his image, and knocked on the door.

Not long after, Aunt Li's voice came from inside.

"who is it?"

"Aunt Li, this is Yan Jiefang who lives in the front yard. I want to find Mr. Wang. Can you please open the door?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened with a creak.

Yan Jiefang smiled and wanted to reach out and push it, but he couldn't push it away because it was so tight inside.

Yan Jiefang looked at Aunt Li in astonishment and asked, "Aunt Li, what are you doing?"

"I'm sorry, our proprietor has warned us not to let anyone in when he and Dr. Ding are not at home." Aunt Li explained.

Yan Jiefang's expression froze and he said, "But I'm not an outsider either, right?"

Aunt Li said helplessly: "But that's what Mr. Wang ordered. You don't want me to lose this job, right?"

Yan Jiefang looked at Aunt Li and felt helpless, but he did not dare to say harsh words to Aunt Li.

After all, the seventh-rank official in front of the Prime Minister offended Aunt Li to death. If she said something in front of Wang Weidong intentionally or unintentionally, Yan Jiefang would be in trouble.

"Okay, then I'll wait outside."

Aunt Li glanced at Yan Jiefang, said nothing, and just nodded.

She has been coming to the Siheyuan for a while and knows a little about the residents in the courtyard.

She also lived in a large courtyard, and the environment was much worse than this. There were a lot of bullshit, but she had never encountered anything as weird as this courtyard.

Especially the behavior of the children, Shazhu and Qin Huairu, is simply eye-opening.

It is said that those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black. These people have been with Qin Huairu's family for so long, who knows if they have caught their bad habits.

Moreover, this Yan Jiefang has never been to the door before. Who knows what he is thinking when he suddenly comes here?

Anyway, as long as you do what Wang Weidong says, you will never go wrong.

After closing the door again, Aunt Li went back to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Yan Jiefang was left standing outside holding his hands, looking a little pitiful.

Fortunately, he didn't wait long as Wang Weidong drove back.

Seeing Wang Weidong get out of the car, Yan Jiefang immediately approached him.

"Mr. Wang~"

Wang Weidong looked at Yan Jiefang in surprise as he nodded and bowed to him, wondering if this kid had taken the wrong medicine.

He was so humble all of a sudden, probably because he had something to ask for.

And it was him who came here, not Yan Bu Gui, which meant that this kid probably came here behind Yan Bu Gui's back.

"Is something wrong?"

Yan Jiefang looked around with a troubled face and whispered: "Mr. Wang, why don't we change the place to talk? It's a bit inconvenient here."

Wang Weidong's lips curled up slightly, and for Yan Bugui's sake, he decided to listen to what this boy was going to say to him.

"Then come into the house with me!"

"Hey, thank you Mr. Wang!"

Yan Jiefang looked delighted and followed Wang Weidong into the backyard.

After asking Aunt Li to bring him a cup of hot tea, Wang Weidong crossed his legs, leaned on the sofa, and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Yan Jiefang looked at Wang Weidong shyly and stammered: "Wang, Mr. Wang, it's like this. I would like to ask if you can help me propose marriage to Yu Haitang?"

Wang Weidong was stunned when he heard this and couldn't help but look Yan Jiefang up and down.

This guy likes Yu Haitang? Wang Weidong thinks this is unlikely.

Yu Haitang is so utilitarian that most people can't control her.

Yan Jiefang? He can’t!

He had no job, and the conditions at home were not good either. It was strange that Yu Haitang could take a liking to him.

However, Wang Weidong did not refuse directly, but asked: "Does your father know about this?"

Yan Jiefang nodded and said with a smile: "He felt embarrassed to tell you, so I had to come over by myself."

Isn't this embarrassing? It's clear that he didn't want to show off, so Yan Jiefang came to him alone.

However, Wang Weidong did not expose him and said: "I think you should go back and discuss this matter with your father. I am just an outsider and can't help you make the decision. Besides, your father is also my matchmaker. He is the professional in this matter."

.”

"No, Mr. Wang, my father..."

Yan Jiefang hesitated to speak. If Yan Bugui had such ability, there would be no need for him to beg Wang Weidong.

Wang Weidong did not give Yan Jiefang a chance to continue. He stood up and patted his shoulder and said: "Go back and think about it carefully. But as someone who has been there, I have to advise that Yu Haitang is not suitable for you. If you want to get married and start a family, you still have to

Just find the right one.”

Yan Jiefang's face was full of depression, but he did not dare to confront Wang Weidong, let alone use moral kidnapping methods against Wang Weidong.

The fate of those who have used it before can be seen clearly, and he cannot bear Wang Weidong's anger.

In the end, I could only go back dejectedly.

Ding Qiunan, who had just returned from outside, happened to see this scene. After entering the house, he curiously asked Wang Weidong: "Isn't that Uncle Yan's second son? What happened to him?"

Wang Weidong took a sip of tea and said: "Come to me and want me to help him propose marriage to Yu Haitang, but I refused."

Women all like gossip. When Ding Qiunan heard this, he immediately became interested.

"Why did you refuse? Isn't this a good thing?"

Wang Weidong looked at his silly wife helplessly and said, "You don't know who Yu Haitang is? Can she like Yan Jiefang?"

Ding Qiunan thought about it seriously, and it was true that Yu Haitang's eyes were higher than his head.

She couldn't even look down on Silhu, who was the canteen class monitor back then, so how could she look down on Yan Jiefang!

"Is it okay if you refuse like this? Does Uncle Yan have any ideas?"

"Then let him think about it, I don't owe him anything."
