Chapter 36 Contact Point

"Luo Yang, I'm Li Yancheng. I was worried that you were out for lunch and not in the office."

"I was just about to go when you called. What's the matter?"

"Two things. First, I have switched shifts with my colleague tonight. You can come directly to our hospital at 8:30 p.m., and I will be on duty in the clinic."

"Okay, what's the other thing?"

"The other thing is that I have a personal matter and I would like you to help me with it."

"tell me the story."

"It's about my house..."

For a moment, Li Yancheng didn't know who to look for. The only person he could think of was Luo Yang. Luo Yang had immense power in his unit and could take care of everything. If he was willing to help, no one would dare to steal his room.

After listening to this, Luo Yang on the other end of the phone was silent for a while before saying, "I understand."

When Li Yancheng heard him say that he understood, he knew that the matter was settled.

"Then I won't waste your time. I'll wait for you in the hospital tonight."

"Okay, I'll be there on time."

Luo Yang still cares a lot about his health. He has planned his schedule very carefully these days and has postponed all other things that may affect his treatment.

The main reason why he was so concerned about this was that he actually felt the effect, which was exactly the same as the reaction he had described before starting the treatment, five days later.

This also gave him a real understanding of Li Yancheng's medical skills. This young man, who was born on the same day as him and was only 26 years old, was indeed extraordinary.

It was also from last night that he began to feel somewhat fortunate that he had taken the plunge.

……

After hanging up the phone, Li Yancheng's originally solemn expression had become very relaxed. As he walked out of the duty room whistling, he ran into the attendant on duty who had prepared the meal.

"Brother Zheng, there's meat today, right?"

"Yes, braised pork." Brother Zheng brought the lunch box full of rice to Li Yancheng and let him take a look.

There were a few pieces of braised pork with alternating fat and lean texture on top, which made people salivate.

"Oh, I have to go quickly then."

"Hurry up, before it's gone in a moment."

"Okay, please eat quickly, Brother Zheng."

……

2:30 p.m., Director Liu’s office at Meishan Subdistrict Office.

Several deputy directors of the office were here, and each of them looked bitter and resentful, as they were worried about the temporary resettlement work in Courtyard 31.

Director Liu was answering the phone while several deputy directors were whispering nearby.

"Old Duan, you are familiar with Li Yancheng, can you do some ideological work on him and ask him to vacate his room temporarily? He is alone, so he can be arranged anywhere. There are too many people in the Yang family and the Qian family, and it is not easy to move them around."

Duan Xin'an looked at the colleague who was speaking with a wry smile on his face: "Meng, how can I do this kind of ideological work? That's their own house. If they really want to lend it to me, it means they are of high moral character. If they don't want to lend it to me, what can we say?"

"Old Duan, according to housing policy, it is not in compliance with the policy for him to occupy such a large room by himself."

"Then go and take over the house. Why are you telling me about the policy? Lao Meng, let me remind you that the house in Courtyard No. 20 was not divided among us. They have the land deed in their hands. Although the land policy has changed after liberation, the country also has clear regulations on this part. You are responsible for this aspect of the work, so you should know more about it than me. How can an expert talk about layman's words?"

After being criticized by Old Duan, Deputy Director Meng was choked and speechless for a long time.

Among the deputy directors, he is in charge of public housing within the jurisdiction. There are many people who try to curry favor with him. Now that something has happened, he is the most uncomfortable.

After a lot of hard work over the past two days, they managed to free up three and a half rooms, one and a half for the Qian family, and the other two for the Yang family.

The Yang family is the family with a total of 19 people.

Neither of them was satisfied.

The Yang family was allocated two rooms, but the combined area of ​​the two rooms was less than 30 square meters, which means each person has a little more than one square meter, and they can't even stretch their legs when sleeping.

The same goes for the Qian family's room and a half. It simply cannot accommodate thirteen people.

It was he who encouraged the Qian father and son to go find Li Yancheng at that time, but now he knows that the other party doesn't care at all.

But he still didn't give up.

Just when he was about to say something to Lao Duan, Director Liu had already put down the phone and tapped the table twice with his fingers, attracting everyone's attention.

"Old Meng, I know you are still eyeing the main house at No. 20 in Meishandong Hutong. I am telling you very clearly now, put away your little thoughts. The Municipal Committee's Inspectorate Section has already requisitioned that house as a contact point in our East City District.

So, if you still want to take over that room, you have to go and talk to the leader of the Inspection Section 1."

The call just now was from the leader of the district committee. He talked about two things in total, both about Yard No. 20.

One of them is about the house where Li Yancheng lives. As for the other thing, it is about the two rooms of the Cai family in the west wing. It has been agreed that one room there will be vacated and they can arrange someone to live there.

Director Liu's words made the deputy directors present gasp, and Old Duan was even a little dumbfounded.

Several deputy directors were very clear about Li Yancheng's personal situation. It was precisely because they knew that he had no connections that someone would want to take over that room.

But who would have thought that they would quietly establish connections with the leaders of the Municipal Committee and directly set up that place as a contact point.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that the contact point is just a cover to put an end to the evil intentions of some people.

When Deputy Director Meng reacted, he felt like his butt was on fire. He could not sit still and broke out in layers of cold sweat.

"Director, I didn't... didn't have any intention of... taking that room."

"Well, there are only a few of us here. What's the point of you explaining to me? You should explain it to the leader.

Let’s not talk about this anymore. There is one more thing. Also in Courtyard No. 20, one of the two rooms in the east wing will be vacated tonight at the latest. We can arrange to see who will move in quickly.

I looked at it this morning. The house is not very big. I remember that among the seven households in Courtyard No. 31, there is a widow with a son. Is it Lao Meng?"

"Yes"

"Then let's arrange for the mother and son to live there. The other households have more than a dozen people, so there won't be enough space. Old Meng, go over there in the evening and get the key."

"I understand, Director."

"As for the Qian and Yang families, haven't they already been arranged with temporary housing? Let them move in quickly. The place is a bit small, but there is nothing we can do about it. Let's just overcome the difficulties first.

As for the remaining four, I remember the carton factory’s factory building is not small, so let them make do with it for now.”
