The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

Li Feng returned to the Red Star Factory, to which he was loyal.

Before the end of the year, the snow in the factory area had been shoveled to the sides of the road.

The electrician team climbed up the utility poles to check the lines and the supporting transformers.

The workers in the workshop are responsible for oiling and maintaining the machines they are responsible for.

It's a busy scene.

Along the way, the workers would still greet Li Feng, but like in the past, fewer people came up to him and talked.

Last year's rectification campaign made many people realize the power of Li Xuewu. Take Jia Haijie for example, he would avoid the security department when eating and would not even go there.

In the parking lot in front of the Transportation Department's building, all the vehicle-mounted artillery have already gone to various parts of the motherland. Currently parked there are vehicles from the Transportation Department. Master Jia, who is busy as always, is checking each vehicle one by one with the maintenance team.

In fact, this is no longer his main job. When Li Feng first came to the transportation department as an apprentice, he has become a maintenance team leader. The new generation of young people is gradually taking on the responsibilities of the previous generation.

But these older generation workers really regard the factory as their home from the bottom of their hearts. The vehicles in the factory are only used once, so they don't feel at ease staying in the final assembly workshop.

"Secretary Li, can we get some affordable housing this year?"

Six or seven years have passed. Li Feng has risen from a truck driver to the position of factory director. The people he is familiar with have all changed. The aunt in the dispatch room who asked him questions has some gray hair.

"Aunt Liu, you didn't participate in the fundraising to build the house?"

"Hey, you don't know my family's situation. I have several children, and they have all started their own families in the past few years. How can we have much money? Besides, the fundraising money has been paid, and it's not good for anyone to live in the house. The public housing is also upstairs. My husband and I can have a good place to live, and we don't have to worry about them~!"

Aunt Liu, who was standing on the front wheel fender and helping to pass the wrench, wiped her nose with her right hand wearing a work glove. It seemed that she had also visited the family quarters during the New Year.

Li Feng nodded. The situation of Aunt Liu's family was just like that. He knew everything about it. The old couple was similar to Old Yan, or in other words, the previous generation of employees were all similar.

"Affordable housing is just a tube-shaped building. It's not very comfortable to live in. There are so many households on the first floor. It's not like you can enjoy a comfortable life~!"

Li Feng doesn't want to release the affordable housing so early for the time being. At least, he wants to wait and see the situation in the second half of the year. In case someone plans to turn the table, at least this house can attract the attention of some people.

"How can everyone be like you? You became a big factory director in a blink of an eye. You get a house for free, so why would you be so picky? As long as you can move into a building, it's a good house, no matter if it's a tube building or a cadre building. I heard that there are people who have set their sights on the target and plan to move in with their whole family, so they took it first~!"

Aunt Liu had a loud voice to begin with, and what she was asking about was a big matter concerning housing for low-income families in the factory. The workers who were cleaning and repairing cars were already distracted, and when they heard Aunt Liu's news, some of them wanted to occupy the houses in advance, so they all put down their work.

"He dares~!"

"I want to see who is so bold, Aunt Liu, please help me spread the word. If anyone dares to bypass the housing allocation committee and make their own plans, thinking of occupying the house in advance and disrupting the housing allocation order, our factory will impose ruthless military law~!"

Li Feng, with his hands behind his back, pointed with his right hand at the crowd of people looking over from the Transportation Department. He glared at them and immediately took a stance, showing no mercy on this matter.

"The affordable housing will definitely be distributed this year, but it may be in the second half of the year. Just like before, the housing distribution committee will decide, and the cadres will not interfere. It's useless to ask me, but as long as I am still in the position of secretary, fairness is the key~!"

"Yeah, yeah, fair~!"

"Well said, whoever dares to occupy the room will be deprived of his right to a separate room~!"

Secretary Li was just as open and honest as he had been in the past. People from the Transportation Department started to stir up trouble, but those who dared to occupy the houses were a minority after all. So, simply nipping the potential in the bud and letting the committee members make their own selection was, by comparison, the fairest means.

"In fact, I went to see the tube-shaped building during the Chinese New Year. It's not as comfortable as the collective housing. There are so many households along one corridor, and the area is small. The kitchen has to be placed outside, and you can hear whatever the neighbors are doing at night~!"

"Nonsense, those who have spent money can live in a good place. Some of them really don't have money. A single-income family has to support the whole family. Who has extra money to raise funds? Even if they have money, they don't want to live in a good place~!" Amid the discussions in the parking lot, Li Feng paced away.

The collective housing project has now ended and there are no houses left. The second phase will definitely have to be paid this year.

For those who participated in the crowdfunding, it doesn't matter. They can just live in their own house without worrying about not getting a share. For those who didn't participate and were hoping to get a bargain at the end, now they can only watch the public housing.

In this era, or even in the next twenty years, when it comes to housing distribution by work units, the most messed up things happen, and Li Feng has experienced it personally.

Even now, some employees from the first and third branches are still living in the factory family quarters. Fortunately, it was transferred to a military factory and after the separation, the burden of the two branches was unloaded, otherwise, it would be even more difficult.

The matter about Qin Hairu has gradually faded away. Time is like a good medicine, slowly healed the scars.

The news after the beginning of this year, under the deliberate guidance of Director Li, shifted the employees' attention from politics to housing.

Every half a month or a month, they would report on the progress of the affordable housing project and the delivery of the second phase of the project. This is to keep two-thirds of the employees' minds focused on housing, which is very irresponsible.

The specific housing distribution matters are not under the jurisdiction of the agency leaders. Even if there is a lot of discussion, it is the responsibility of the housing distribution committee. The members of the committee are ordinary employees. By handing power to them, the problems can be firmly confined to the grassroots level and coordinated internally.

Li Feng felt as if he had learned bad things. He was becoming more and more skilled in manipulating people's hearts. It felt like walking on a tightrope over a volcano.

The news spread from the transportation department unknowingly.

The workers who were on holiday during the New Year holidays, who had not participated in the fund-raising, all went to the construction site to take a look. Originally, their attention was still attracted by what was happening in Shanghai.

As a result, when the allocation of affordable housing in the second half of the year came out, it was exactly as Li Feng had expected. Even though there were still a few months to go, he began to feel uneasy.

"We must maintain the purity of our team. We must never forget class and struggle. We must get rid of those who have infiltrated our team..."

"We must learn and implement the spirit. What are you talking about houses? No matter how important the house is, the spirit is more important. The spirit is our food~!"

When Secretary Li came down from the office, he heard that person, Yu Haitang, yelling something in the Propaganda Department. His voice was quite loud and could be heard coming down the stairs.

Secretary Li swallowed his saliva and felt something tighten. Even though he had trained his body to be as slender as a crane, he was afraid that this woman would strangle his neck. He hurried into the Propaganda Department and looked at Yu Haitang, who had her back to the door and was talking excitedly.

The staff who were too lazy to pay attention to her originally, when they saw Li Feng coming in, they immediately pretended to be busy, or lowered their heads and held back their laughter. No one reminded her. It seems that her popularity has been just like that until now.

"Yu Haitang, I feel that you have a lot of energy and are a good material. Just drawing blackboard newspapers is a bit of a waste of talent. Don't you want to train at the radio station? The Red Star Community Radio Station is short of people, so I'll second you to train first~!"

This woman, a junior college graduate, a cadre, and Yu Li's sister, is tougher than a tortoise shell and won't make any mistakes. Li Feng can't touch her.

Although she couldn't move, but the knife was about to be placed on his neck as the secretary, Li Feng didn't mind satisfying her request to go to the radio station.

As for the secondment, he was transferred to the community through connections, leaving Director Xiao Du with the headache.

"Really, Secretary Li, what about me, what about my work?"

When Yu Haitang turned around and saw Li Feng, she was a little surprised. When she saw Li Feng asked her to go to the community with a friendly face, she was still a little shocked. She really wanted to go to the radio station.

But this announcement was a little too sudden.

"Put your work aside for now. You still have connections in the factory. Go to the community to get some exercise. Find out more about the radio station. Report there tomorrow. I'll be waiting for your victory!" (End of this chapter)
