Siheyuan: I, the eldest son of the Liu family, will enter the department!

Liu Guangqi calmed himself down and decided not to play any tricks in front of his leader.

I immediately decided to tell the truth: "It's mainly because where I live now is a bit inconvenient. I'm squeezed in with my parents in an old courtyard house in Nanluoguxiang..."

"There are more than 20 households and over 100 people living in the yard, all of them are old neighbors."

"A while ago, when word got out that I was in charge of technical assessments at the steel mill, the neighbors in the yard... were a bit overly enthusiastic."

He paused.

A look of helplessness appeared on his face. "Well... I figured the longer I live in the compound, the more trouble I'll have. So I decided to apply for a separate room!"

His words were half true and half false.

As a result, Director Lin didn't think much about it. He smiled knowingly and tapped his fingers on the drawer:

"The old courtyard houses are bustling with activity..."

"But people like you who are engaged in research and development also need some quiet time!"

"So, a while ago, when the housing management office in the department was discussing the housing allocation list, I paid special attention to your application."

Hear this.

Liu Guangqi also said inwardly, "As expected!"

The department’s self-built tube-shaped building was indeed completed and delivered.

So……

Director Lin suddenly mentioned this today, which obviously has a deep meaning.

As expected!

Director Lin quickly revealed the answer:

"You've earned the ministry some respect with your inventions like the hotplate and electric blanket, and you're now eligible for a nice house."

Director Lin said.

Leaning over, he opened the drawer and pulled out a bunch of keys tied with a red string. "On the east end of the second floor, there's a three-bedroom apartment with a six-square-meter balcony."

"It's yours!"

After saying that, he placed a bunch of keys in front of Liu Guangqi.

Liu Guangqi looked at the key and was a little dazed for a moment——

Happiness comes so suddenly!

This efficiency...

It really is worthy of the director’s personal involvement.

----------

"This... this is too sudden, Director."

Liu Guangqi laughed, his voice filled with uncontrollable surprise: "I originally thought..."

"Didn't think you could get any?"

Director Lin's eyes were filled with smiles: "In our department, we emphasize rewarding people based on their performance."

"You've made such a great contribution, and you've grasped the urgent needs of the Russians. It's only right that the Ministry provide you with housing. We can't let you figure out how to increase production while worrying about trivial matters with your neighbors, right?"

He paused, and his tone became serious:

"This house is both a reward and a burden. It's important to live comfortably in it and run the workshop well."

"Once you increase production, the orders from the Russian bear will be secure..."

"I'll give you a real reward based on your merits!"

"Please rest assured, Director!" Liu Guangqi clenched the keys tightly, his back straight. "I will definitely handle the workshop's affairs properly and will never let the department down!"

Director Lin nodded with satisfaction:

"Okay, take the keys. Go to the housing management office to sign the paperwork yourself. They're all waiting."

"Hurry up and move there so we can focus on production!"

"Yes, Director!"

PS: New book is on the shelves, please accept first order, full order, and custom order.

I beg you!

Chapter 50: Department-level treatment! Leaders’ statement! (First order on April 4th)

Come out of the director's office!

Liu Guangqi put the key ring into his inner pocket, and his steps became lighter.

I glanced at the watch on my wrist and it was almost time to get off work.

He didn't go back to his office.

Instead, he turned around, went downstairs, and walked straight towards the housing management office.

No one has reached the door yet!

The heated discussions inside were heard first:

"...Have you heard?"

"The Russians have placed additional foreign exchange export orders! Now it's not us begging them, it's them begging us!"

A young clerk's voice was filled with excitement.

"More than that! I heard from my relatives in the Ministry of Foreign Trade that the Russians didn't even mention the quality inspection standards this time."

"Just one word—take as many as you can!"

“Who would have dared to think of this before?”

Another voice took over, its tone full of pride.

"It's all thanks to Comrade Liu Guangqi from the Research Department that he was able to completely subdue that picky Russian bear!"

"Our Foreign Trade Department can finally hold its head high this time!"

The Housing Management Office is no different from other business departments!

It is a relatively leisurely office, mainly responsible for the housing issues of employees within the unit, so it is particularly well-informed.

In a sense.

The Housing Management Office is an internal management department of the unit, mainly serving the housing security needs of the unit's employees.

Whether it is a ministry or a directly affiliated factory or street office.

There will be a housing management unit in every city!

The only difference is that ministries and provincial agencies have departments and offices that do not have sections under them.

That’s why the ministry is called the Housing Management Office!

The street office, a directly affiliated factory under the ministry, is called the Housing Management Department!

As the subject of discussion, Liu Guangqi heard his name being mentioned over and over again...

The hand pushing the door paused unconsciously.

I felt a little weird!

……

……

Listen to the discussion!

Liu Guangqi then gently pushed open the door, and the discussions in the room stopped abruptly.

Seven or eight pairs of eyes looked over at the same time!

Then they all lit up.

The young clerk who had spoken most enthusiastically just now was the first to jump up from his chair, a sincere smile on his face.

Even a little bit helpless:

"Liu...Team Leader Liu! We were just talking about you, and here you are!"

"Oh, it's Comrade Guangqi! Come and sit down!"

A middle-aged woman in her forties next to her deftly handed over a steaming enamel cup.

His tone was full of admiration:

"Congratulations! You have made a great contribution to our First Ministry of Machine Building."

"I heard that over in Russia, they call that heating product you developed... 'Warm Magic from the East!'"

Everyone in the office agreed!

Every sentence is full of genuine praise and admiration, without any hypocrisy or courtesy.

Liu Guangqi took the cup of water.

Feeling the warmth from his fingertips, he smiled slightly: "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. I just did my part."

"You are so humble!"

The young clerk slapped his thigh and said with a smile:

"In the past, we saw comrades in the Ministry of Foreign Trade, who were so worried about the pass rate that their hair almost turned white..."

"And now? He's so happy to see everyone, like he's found money."
