I messed up the Siheyuan

In the 1960s, most people in urban areas rented government-owned housing.

In the No. 95 compound, people like Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong who work in the steel mill rent houses from the mill.

In other words, the ownership of the house they live in now belongs to the steel mill.

This type of house is generally also called public housing.

The steel rolling mill has a large number of public housing units, which it rents to its employees to solve their housing problems.

In order to manage these public housing units, the steel rolling mill also set up a housing management department under the logistics department.

If there are public housing, there will naturally be private housing, that is, houses whose property rights are in private hands.

In the compound, the two rooms of Sha Zhu's family are their own houses.

Private houses can be bought and sold, but public houses cannot.

Even if you want to buy it, the government won't sell it to you.

However, although public housing cannot be purchased, it can be exchanged.

Wang Ping's father, Wang Dayong, had been handling this matter during his lifetime.

In order to turn the two western wing rooms in the No. 95 compound into his own private houses, he planned for five or six years.

He first saved money by living frugally.

When I had saved enough money, I started looking around for suitable private houses for sale.

Not to mention, last year he actually found a house for sale in South City.

The house was in a large compound.

In terms of environment, it is definitely not as good as Compound No. 95.

It can even be said that it is far worse than Compound No. 95.

If it is better than No. 95, the Wang family will just move there.

There is no question of changing rooms.

The only advantage of that house is that it is big.

The Wang family lives in the compound at No. 95, with two rooms, one large and one small, covering a total of 65 square meters.

The house in that slum has three rooms, totaling 82 square meters.

If we remodel it and create four rooms, that would be possible.

This is also the reason why Wang Ping's father had the confidence to apply to the steel mill for a house change.

After all, the two rooms in the compound at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang can now only be occupied by the Wang family.

Although the Wang family now has an empty room, the factory does not have the right to take back the vacant house and reallocate it to other employees.

This was a feature of the sixties.

That is, even if you rent the house from the government, the government has no right to take it back at will.

......

Compared with a few years ago, the scale of the steel rolling mill has expanded several times, becoming a super large plant with tens of thousands of employees.

With so many new employees added in just a few years, their housing problem naturally became a tense issue.

It is said that there are more than a thousand people queuing up at the Housing Management Department waiting to rent a house.

Therefore, when Wang Ping's father submitted his application for a housing change, even though such a thing was extremely rare and even seemed a bit borderline, the factory did not immediately reject him.

After some research, the factory decided: change!

The reason for this decision is simple.

That is, the factory will not suffer any loss.

If you don't change the house, you will just keep the status quo. But if you change...

First of all, since the Wang family had their own house, the factory no longer had to allocate housing to them.

Secondly, the house obtained from the Wang family can be immediately used to accommodate three families.

If it is slightly modified to have four rooms, it can solve the housing problem of four employee households.

Therefore, exchanging houses with the Wang family is really a win-win situation.

......

Wang Dayong submitted his application for a new house at the end of last year.

It dragged on for several months, and the other person is no longer with us, but this matter has finally been accomplished.

Wang Ping sighed, said hello to the people in the office, and hurried home.

Unexpectedly, when he was leaving the steel mill gate, he was stopped by the head of the factory security department.

The factory's buyers, especially those in the third purchasing department, have to go to the countryside frequently, so their working and leaving hours are a bit irregular.

At this time, when they enter or exit the steel rolling mill, they need the security personnel at the gate to let them pass.

Over time, the two sides gradually became familiar with each other.

Even Wang Ping, a newcomer to the Procurement Department 3, almost recognized all the people in the Security Department.

Therefore, when he saw from afar the head of the security department, Chen Qiang, standing at the gate of the steel mill, he was a little surprised.

As the head of the security department, no matter what, he doesn't have to go on duty in person!

When Chen Qiang raised his hand to stop Wang Ping, he became even more confused.

"Section Chief Chen..., are you standing here just to block me?...Have I done anything wrong?"

......

Chen Qiang is 36 years old this year. He is not tall, only about 1.6 meters, but he looks very sturdy.

On his right cheek, there is a scar extending from the corner of his mouth to his earlobe, which is said to be left over from the war years.

This scar also makes him look extremely fierce.

It was this fierceness that allowed him to secure his position as the head of the security department at the steel rolling mill.

Since he transferred from the army to the steel mill as a battalion commander three years ago and took up the position of chief of the security department, the steel mill can be said to have been free of scoundrels.

Occasionally, there would be fights in the factory, but as soon as he showed up, both sides would immediately stop fighting.

......

Chen Qiang smiled, but because of the scar on his face, his smile looked extremely scary and hideous.

He may have realized this and his face fell again.

“Xiao Wang…” Chen Qiang was probably afraid of scaring Wang Ping, so he tried to speak in a gentle tone: “You don’t have to be afraid, I don’t mean any other thing.

I just received a call from the Housing Management Department.

They asked me to stop you.

They said that this is so that you can complete the room change procedures today.

They will have a clerk take the documents from the steel mill and go home with you to get the documents on your side.

Then, you two go directly to the Housing Authority and change the house."

"Uh!..." Wang Ping was stunned.

Inside the steel rolling mill, the Housing Management Department is a big shot!

There's nothing we can do, they have great power!

The housing issues of more than 10,000 people in the steel rolling mill are all taken care of by others!

Those who are queuing up and waiting for housing allocation are even more eager to support the people in the housing management department.

It’s such a great department, and the people inside are even more awesome.

They all look down on others.

Although Wang Ping had just joined the steel rolling mill, he had heard of this department.

What happened to the Housing Management Department this time?

Could it be that my domineering aura has won over these powerful people and made them come to my house to provide service?

Before Wang Ping could come to his senses, Chen Qiang on the opposite side had already pulled him into the guard room next to the gate.

"Xiao Wang, wait there for a while. I'll call the Housing Management Department and ask them to come over quickly..."

As Chen Qiang spoke, he grabbed the phone on the table and dialed it.

"Hey!...Give me the Housing Management Department..."

"Housing Management Department!... Could you please call An Ran... Yes!..."

"Xiao Ran!...I'm your Uncle Chen...Yes!...They're already here, just come over here."
