A courtyard house, equipped with a fishing system, living in an era.

After agreeing on the salary and benefits, Lou Bancheng planned to leave!

He is indeed busy.

The steel rolling mill is still completely under his control and management.

The reason he is known as Lou Bancheng must be because he has many businesses, not just this one factory!

However, this type of heavy industrial factory is the most representative.

"Go directly to the HR department this afternoon to complete your onboarding process. If you have any questions, just tell them what I said!"

"Hey, boss, take care!"

Upon hearing the last sentence, Xu Pingan was genuinely amused!

He glanced at the fat steward beside him and thought: Did you hear that?

Your boss said it himself: feel free to make any requests...

Lou Bancheng came and went in a hurry.

He just ate a quick meal.

But it solved Xu Ping'an's job problem!

"Hello, Supervisor Wang, I'll be working under you from now on..."

I only learned the title "Manager Wang" from Lou Bancheng calling him "Old Wang".

I just don't know if this person is the supervisor.

But it doesn't matter; it's just a matter of position, so it's always better to call someone a higher title.

Fatty Wang sighed. This man spoke respectfully, but he had no sense of awe or respect a young person should have towards their leader.

Just like a seasoned veteran in the workplace!

"No problem, no problem. I'll be in charge of this small kitchen. We'll be working together from now on!"

"Then we'll have to rely on Steward Wang for guidance from now on!"

I'll be back at the office for a while.

The two of them couldn't just sit there like that...

Xu Pingan took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to Fatty Wang, and lit it for him with a match.

Soon, the place began to be filled with smoke.

Wang Pangzi's real name is Wang Zongchang. According to the old society, he was considered a servant of Boss Lou!

Lou Bancheng's many businesses are controlled by people of his status, who hold key positions.

The two chatted for almost half an hour before their lunch break was finally over.

In privately owned factories, working hours generally comply strictly with relevant regulations.

After all, if you slack off, it's like stealing money from the boss...

Throughout history, which boss could tolerate an employee stealing his money?

……

The deputy head of the personnel department spoke languidly, looking as if he hadn't woken up yet.

He opened the cup lid, scraped off the tea leaves, and sighed.

"Sigh, you can't buy such good tea anywhere anymore. Should someone of my status be drinking broken tea leaves?"

Xu Pingan stood in front of this person, quietly watching the other person perform.

Seeing that Xu Ping'an didn't respond, he impatiently asked a question.

"New here?"

"Yes, Boss Lou brought me here at noon!"

"puff!"

The tea he had just drunk, along with the tea leaves, sprayed out.

He immediately sat up straight and looked at Xu Ping'an directly for the first time.

Of course, this was also the first time Xu Pingan had seen this person's face.

He was wearing a Zhongshan suit, and his hair was combed so slicked back that even a fly couldn't stand on it!

Even with his eyes wide open, they were still half-closed as if he hadn't woken up yet.

"Oh...hehe, Mr. Lou brought them? Why didn't you say so earlier..."

"What's your name again?"

"Xu Ping'an, the chef of the small kitchen!"

Xu Pingan replied with a smile, as if he didn't care at all about the other party's previous neglect.

There's nothing I can do about it, that's just how the workplace is... all crows are black!

Not to mention private factories in the early days of the People's Republic of China.

Just stay calm!

The arranging staff readily helped Xu Ping'an complete all the onboarding procedures and collect the chef's protective equipment and other supplies.

"Xiao Xu, the onboarding process is now complete. When can you start work? No later than three days!"

"Section Chief Chen, there's one more thing..."

He squinted, startled, and even his speech became a little incoherent!

"Is...is there anything else?"

Xu Pingan spoke with righteous indignation.

"Boss Lou said he'd ask the factory to help coordinate the accommodation issue... Oh right, I also have two younger sisters, so we need at least three rooms!"

Xu Pingan was indeed in the right; Boss Lou had said that any problems should be handled by the personnel department…

Don't believe me? Ask Fatty Wang!

Upon hearing this, Section Chief Chen's eyes, which he had been unable to open before, now opened wide.

"coordination?"

"Yes! I'll pay for it myself, but I need the factory to help coordinate with the neighborhood committee!"

Section Chief Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Mr. Lou has a large and successful business!

However, when our Party entered the cities, it issued relevant regulations regarding housing.

Lou Bancheng and others with many houses who wanted to stay in China basically donated their vacant houses to the local government...

As for those who were determined to run away, they naturally sold off their assets and fled!

Lou Bancheng was no exception...

However, this person was rather cunning; he donated some and then sold the rest during the chaos!

However, the neighborhood committee reached an agreement with Lou Bancheng that the houses he donated would be used to resettle the workers of their steel rolling mill.

The house is already on the other side of the street, so it's impossible to ask Xu Pingan for three rooms. But if it's rented, then it'll be much easier!

After all, it's not like I'm asking them to do something for free!

Xu Pingan didn't dare to actually take three houses for free.

After all, Section Chief Chen certainly couldn't make that decision!

If this matter gets to Lou Bancheng, the truth will be exposed.

But if it's a matter of negotiation, Xu Ping'an bets the other party won't confront Lou Bancheng!

After all, Boss Lou has been busy with the public-private partnership lately!

Why bother the boss with such a small matter?

Did you invite me here just to eat?

Once the public-private partnership is on track, people like Section Chief Chen should be fired.

As for the future?

From now on, of course we'll stick close to the working group!

Section Chief Chen resigned himself to his fate, arranged the work in his section, and then took Xu Ping'an out of the factory gate and headed straight for the street office of District 13.

Xu Pingan has already visited Nanluoguxiang.

This is a street and alleyway composed of more than a dozen hutongs (traditional alleyways) running east to west!

"The courtyard at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang used to be the private property of Boss Lou, but he donated it to the government three years ago. It was agreed that our factory's employees would be given priority in resettlement!"

"However, housing is extremely tight lately, and many people from other factories have already moved in!"

"You're lucky you arrived early; if you had come any later, there really wouldn't have been a place to stay..."

The population explosion in Beijing was predetermined from the moment it was designated as the capital!

It is independent of anyone's will.

Xu Pingan realized this problem, which is why he decided to stop delaying.

Life is like that; plans never keep up with changes!

You must learn to adjust your plans as needed to adapt to changing times.

"Hello, Section Chief Zhou!"

Section Chief Chen went inside and exchanged a few pleasantries with the street chief in charge of the area, then turned around and pointed at Xu Ping'an.

Once the two sides had reached an agreement, they beckoned Xu Ping'an over.

Section Chief Zhou simply nodded to Xu Ping'an in greeting.

"Sister Wang, could you please make this trip and take Xiao Xu to the east wing of courtyard number 95 to check in?"

"Yes, Section Chief Zhou!"

Great, I've run into another acquaintance...

The master of covering things up in the courtyard of Zhutian [Director Wang of the Subdistrict Office].

This kind of statement is just for fun.

Do you know how high a position the director of Jiaodaokou Subdistrict Office is?

They are in charge of civil affairs, household registration, education, and production in the entire area!

Why should I care about two households arguing in your yard?

Unless the plot requires it, this kind of thing wouldn't be reported to the head of her neighborhood committee...

Of course, she's not the director yet, and this area isn't managed by the subdistrict office...

Xu Pingan, of course, showered his future boss with compliments and flattery!

Before even reaching courtyard number 95, Xu Ping'an had already become familiar with this Sister Wang!

After all, who doesn't like being flattered and praised?

"Your hometown is HB? Then you'll need a certificate from the local government before you can register your household here!"

Xu Pingan was stunned. "I'm from Changping, how could I be from HB?"

"Changping belongs to HB, isn't it...?"

Xu Ping'an realized: No wonder there weren't even any buses!
