Chapter 292: Cadre Building Allocation and Education Improvement
After Li Kailang came back, he learned from Yan Bugui that so many things had happened in the yard that day.

Li Kailang couldn't help but say in annoyance: "If I had known there would be such a lively event, why would I have gone out? I didn't find any gold, and I haven't even enjoyed the fun yet."

He didn't find any gold today, he just collected some scraps, and then went to Lao Mo's for a meal. Basically he just had fun for the whole day.

Yan Bugui didn't pay attention to Li Kailang's expression and continued, "Xiao Li, do you think the old lady is really like what that kid said?"

Yan Bugui was talking about Song Dashun's rebuttal to the old lady's views.

Li Kailang said calmly: "Uncle San, do you think you still believe in the old lady now?"

Yan Bugui said: "I don't know either, but the old ancestor is so old, it is certain that he will remember things wrongly."

Li Kailang said, "Okay, Third Uncle, you don't have to play dumb with me here. You are a teacher, you should know the story of Duke Zhuang of Zheng shooting the Emperor of Zhou with an arrow."

Hearing this, Yan Bugui nodded slightly, "I understand."

When Yan Bugui or other people in the yard began to doubt the deaf old lady, she no longer had the high status she had before.

In the past, people respected the deaf old lady because she made straw sandals and was old. Now, she no longer makes straw sandals and is just an old lady.

How could I respect him at all? At most, I would respect him because he is old and lonely.

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, it is difficult to dig them out unless someone important comes to corroborate the fact that the old lady was weaving straw sandals.

But this is impossible. If it could be explained clearly, the deaf old lady could have explained it at the beginning.

"It seems that this old lady is not a good person. That's why I was so afraid of her before. Now that the truth is clear, why should I still be afraid of her!" Xu Damao said secretly.

He had a fight with Sha Zhu before, and after he gained the upper hand, the old lady sided with Sha Zhu and asked him to apologize to Sha Zhu.

Because of the glorious deeds of the old lady and her ancestors, Xu Damao had to bow his head.

"I'll find an opportunity to take revenge."

The other people in the yard had different ideas, but they were surprisingly consistent.

Yi Zhonghai painstakingly created a glorious filter for everyone to see the deaf old lady, but from then on, it was broken and she became just an ordinary old lady.

the next day.

It's a new week again, and time to go back to work.

Li Kailang entered the steel mill normally, and suddenly saw a group of people gathered on the notice board, so he walked over curiously.

There was only a list posted on the notice board, which contained the allocation list for the cadre building.

"Take a quick look, is my name on it?"

"Your name? If even you can get up there, I can definitely get up there too. Don't daydream so early in the morning."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Look, Master's name is on it."

"Where is where?"

Everyone looked carefully for their names on the list, but unfortunately they were not there.

Li Kailang looked at it curiously and found his name on it.

Li Kailang was surprised and asked, "Why is my name on it? Didn't I have a falling out with Li Huaide?"

Suddenly, Li Kailang thought of something and clapped his hands: "I almost forgot that Director Lu promised to give me a quota."

The seat belts and brake water tanks contributed by Li Kailang not only brought foreign exchange to the steel mill and the ministry, but also brought great help to the Northwest Project.

For various reasons, Director Lu and other leaders agreed to give Li Kailang a cadre apartment.

Besides Li Kailang, there are other people on the list.

Senior workers, engineers, leaders, and ordinary workers.

The senior workers and engineers on the list are no longer in the steel rolling mill. They have gone to support the northwest. It is reasonable for them to be on the list.

Considering that they were contributing to the country and could not let them down, the steel mill arranged for their families to live in the tube-shaped buildings.

There is no need to say much about the leaders. They are mainly ordinary workers, and those on the list have made great contributions, like Li Kailang.

This person is unknown in other departments and workshops, and even unknown to others, but he is very famous in his department.

"Hey, look, it's not over yet. There are still 14 spots left in the cadre building."

"Really? Then we still have hope and can fight for this spot."

Everyone instantly felt hopeful again. As long as the quota was not full, they could fight for it and not miss this great opportunity.

This is a cadre building. Whoever lives in it has a symbol of status and position, and it is a source of pride to talk about it.

"But why 14? I see there are only 45 names on the list. The cadre building can accommodate 60 households, so shouldn't it be 15?"

"Are you stupid? Someone must have taken two."

"Damn it! I'm not even on the list, but someone has two rooms. Who is it? If I find out, I'll beat him to death."

The gathered crowd was instantly filled with indignation, staring at the names on the list to see who was the most suspicious.

Li Kailang guessed, "Who is so amazing that he has two spots?"

"But it definitely won't be me. I've already fallen out with Li Huaide, so how could he possibly leave a spot for me?"

Because of the seat belts and brake water tanks, Li Kailang refused to take the work at the cement factory, and thus broke up with Li Huaide.

Li Kailang couldn't believe that after this incident, Li Huaide would still leave him the house quota.

"Ding-ling-ling——" the bell for work rang.

"Alright, alright, stop looking, it's time to go. The list hasn't been finalized yet, we still have time."

"Yes, it will be decided at the end of the month. We still have ten days or so, so we still have a chance to fight for it."

This list is just a preliminary one and will not be officially implemented until the 1st of next month. Everyone still has a chance before that.

There are still 14 people left on the list, and it is possible to try to get on the list.

But this is obviously overthinking. There are thousands of people in the steel rolling mill, and only 0.2% of them can stand out.

However, maybe I am one of those 0.2%.

Thinking of this, everyone went to work first.

In just two hours, the allocation list of the cadre building spread like wildfire in the steel rolling mill, and even affected some people's work.

Everyone in the transport team looked at Li Kailang with envy. Currently, Li Kailang was the only one in the team who had it, not even Zhang Jinwu.

"Xiao Li, congratulations! You will be living in the cadre building from now on. Congratulations!"

"Yeah, when you move in next month, tell us what it's like living there?"

"It's definitely not bad. Look at the list. Those who live there are either leaders or senior workers. How bad can they be?"

Everyone couldn't help but congratulate Li Kailang with envy, but they were not jealous.

Because the seat belts, brake water tanks, and tire repairs helped them a lot.

If they don't get a place in the cadre building because of this contribution, they will go to the leadership to argue.

"Thank you, thank you!" Li Kailang thanked. He had no interest in living in the cadres' building, but he didn't tell anyone.

After all, saying this makes people hate you.

"Okay, Xiao Li, you can move into the cadre building next month." Lu Wenjiang congratulated.

"Brother, please stop making fun of me. Why would I live in a cadre building instead of my own nice house?" Li Kailang said helplessly.

Lu Wenjiang joked: "That's the cadre building. It's very prestigious to tell others about it, but you don't like it. There are so many people outside who want to get in but can't, and you chose one."

Li Kailang: "Since Senior Brother likes it so much, how about I give you the cadre building and you can move in."

Lu Wenjiang shook his head decisively: "Forget it, I'm not interested in the cadre building."

Zhang Fen: "Hey, Brother Lu, why don't you want to go? Didn't you just let Xiao Li go?"

Lu Wenjiang explained: "It's just a joke. If Xiao Li really moves in, I will live in Xiao Li's house. Xiao Li's house is so nice, I can't let it go to waste.

"I have visited the cadres' housing complex. Although it is better than the courtyard house, I cannot get used to living there."

Compared with the courtyard houses, the cadre buildings are definitely better. Each room is around 50 square meters, which is larger than most houses in the courtyard houses.

Each floor is equipped with heating, toilet and kitchen.

But they are all shared by everyone. When cooking, everyone cooks together. Everyone knows what kind of food is being cooked, and it is crowded.

There is a toilet, so in winter you don't have to rush to the public toilet early in the morning to use the toilet, and you don't have to freeze your butt. It is better than the courtyard house, but people still have to rush to use the toilet.

In addition to these points, there are also issues such as lighting, ventilation, and sound insulation.

When the cadre buildings were first built, the purpose was to expand the residential population per unit area without considering too many other factors.

Li Kailang's house has all the advantages mentioned above, without any disadvantages. Isn't it hateful for him to instigate people to live in the cadres' building?

Zhang Fen nodded: "That's right, Xiao Li's house is great. When I have money, I will decorate it like yours."

"Seeing that none of you want to live in the cadres' building, I feel relieved." Zhang Jinwu suddenly interrupted.

"Anyone who lives in the cadre building must give up their current house and give it to someone else."

"Master." Lu Wenjiang and Li Kailang responded.

"Dad, why?" Zhang Fen asked puzzled.

Zhang Jinwu waved his hand and continued, "The factory built a cadre building to provide more people with housing. There are still many people without housing in the factory dormitory."

"Some of them are married, but they still live in dormitories. If we don't release the houses, will they have to live in dormitories forever?"

"That's true." Zhang Fen nodded.

"I thought that after moving in, I wouldn't have to give up the original house, so I would have two rooms." Lu Wenjiang said.

It was normal that some people didn't know about it. This was the first time that the rooms were allocated. They were not Zhang Jinwu, and were not qualified to attend the meeting and know the inside story.

Zhang Jinwu said: "You are fanciful. How could you take advantage of such a good opportunity? But it is not impossible."

The three of them immediately stared at Zhang Jinwu, wondering if there was a chance of a turnaround.

"Unless the house is yours, you don't have to return it, but you have to rent it out to someone in the factory."

Lu Wenjiang: "Forget it, a nest of gold or silver is not as good as your own doghouse, and the cadre housing is not as good as your own house."

To put it bluntly, the tube-shaped buildings belong to the steel rolling mill and are public property. People who live in them only have the right to use them but not the ownership.

As long as they didn't make a big mistake, the steel mill would not take away the allocated house, but it was better to be safe than sorry. Li Kailang nodded involuntarily. His house was so well decorated, and if he let others live in it, he would suffer a great loss.

At this moment, a person suddenly came over.

"Master Li."

Li Kailang turned around and looked, "Secretary Wan."

The person who came was Director Yang’s secretary, Wan Shen.

Li Kailang: "Secretary Wan, what's the matter?"

Wan Shen: "Director Yang wants to see you about something. I wonder if it's convenient for you to come over now."

"Is it convenient?" Since there was nothing else to do, Li Kailang agreed.

"Okay, let's go now." Li Kailang followed Wan Shen to find Director Yang.

Director Yang's office.

"Master Li, please take a seat."

Li Kailang sat down calmly, "I wonder what Director Yang wants to talk to me about?"

Director Yang asked, "Master Li, do you know the allocation of the cadre building?"

Li Kailang nodded.

Director Yang got straight to the point: "That's easy to say. You also know that you are on the list. I want to ask you for a room in the cadre building."

Li Kailang noticed the words, "You want one? What does Director Yang mean by that? Do you think I have two?"

Now it was Director Yang's turn to be surprised. "Don't you know you have two? The factory gave you one, and Deputy Director Li also gave you one."

"I don't know about that."

Li Kailang didn't expect that Li Huaide actually left one for him. Now it was his turn to feel surprised.

Put yourself in his shoes. He had already broken up with Li Huaide, so how could he have thought that Li Huaide had left one for him?

Looking at Li Kailang's surprised expression, Director Yang instantly realized that the two of them were a little guilty, but it was none of his business.

"Let's talk about the room the factory gave you, the one I want."

Li Kailang nodded: "Okay, I wonder how Director Yang would like to ask for it?"

Director Yang said directly: "I plan to buy it from you. Please name a price. I will buy it at any price."

"money?"

Hearing this condition, Li Kailang was a little disappointed because he was not short of money.

"Director Yang, besides money, is there anything else to replace it? To be honest, I am not short of money now."

"Are you not short of money?" Director Yang looked at Li Kailang in surprise.

It's not that he uses money to insult people, but this method is the most direct.

"Could it be that Master Li's family is very rich?" Director Yang asked in return. He wondered if Li Kailang had done anything corrupt or illegal.

Director Yang hates this kind of corruption and abuse of power the most. If it were Li Huaide, he might turn a blind eye, but he won't.

Li Kailang smiled and said, "Director Yang, I am the only one in my family. To put it bluntly, if I am full, the whole family will not be hungry. How much do I want?"

"Besides, I'm a driver, and my salary is 38 yuan for a deputy fifth-level driver. I don't need money."

"Money is just a number to me. I'm not interested in money." Li Kailang didn't dare to say this. If he said it, Director Yang would definitely investigate him.

"Deputy level five, 38 yuan per person." Director Yang also knows a thing or two about the driver's job.

He had also heard about the strange noises from cars that were circulating outside, and Huang Jinwanliang had also heard about them.

If I wasn't short of money, it would be a bit difficult to deal with.
Director Yang asked back, "What do you want?"

"I want a job quota,"

"No!" Director Yang refused without a second thought, "I will not allow anyone with connections or backdoors to come into the steel mill under my leadership."

"In the past, those who relied on connections and backdoors were allowed in, but now that I am the director of the steel mill, I must resolutely put an end to this kind of behavior."

"Let's talk about getting the money back. How much do you want? 500800, 1000, or ."

"At most 1000, no more than that."

1000 yuan for a 50-square-meter house is indeed a lot, but if it is a house in a cadre building, it is about the same.

A house of the same size, if located in a courtyard house, would cost around 500 yuan, especially now that private house transactions are not allowed.

But today’s cadre buildings are obviously better than courtyard houses, and they also have “cadre” value.

Li Kailang shook his head. He had at least two or three thousand yuan in his hand.

"Director Yang, you have more or less heard about the work of our drivers. To be honest, I don't lack money."

"Even if you don't want to exchange your job, at least you can exchange it with something else you can offer, right?"

Li Kailang was helpless. This kind of decent person was very difficult to get along with. It was far less easy to get along with than someone like Li Huaide.

Director Yang was also in a dilemma. All the houses he had had were arranged and belonged to different people.

But there is still one person who has not been arranged, but he does not have the room available, otherwise he would not have looked for Li Kailang.

Of the remaining 14 housing vacancies, 10 have already been allocated by them as leaders, and the remaining 4 are for ordinary workers to compete for.

In fact, this list was initially drawn up last year, but was not announced until now when the house was almost decorated.

When the list was drawn up, Li Huaide gave one to Li Kailang. Li Kailang was the only one with two rooms, while everyone else had only one. Who else should he look for?
Director Yang is now having a headache about what to do. He has promised that person and he cannot go back on his word.

Li Kailang sat there indifferently, as he was not the one having a headache now.

Suddenly, Director Yang thought of something, went to his desk, opened the drawer and took out a letter.

"Master Li, I remember that you came to the steel mill after you graduated from junior high school. You are a driver, right?"

"Yes." Li Kailang replied.

"I wonder if you have ever thought about learning more knowledge, going to school, and improving your academic qualifications?"

"Of course I have thought about it. Director Yang, do you have any ideas?" Li Kailang stood up expectantly and looked at Director Yang,

Not to mention in the future, academic qualifications are of paramount importance even now. For many jobs, the salary will be set very high as long as they look at the academic qualifications.

"I have a recommendation for a night school, I wonder if you can exchange it?"

Li Kailang stood up immediately: "Night university? Are you talking about night school university?"

Night school college can also improve academic qualifications. This is a good opportunity for those who cannot get into college, but it is rare.

In the past, only cadres could attend night schools, which were exclusive to cadres’ tutoring culture.

Now, ordinary workers can also go to night school and learn knowledge.

At night school, after 3 to 5 years of study, you can only graduate successfully, which is equivalent to reaching the level of a junior college or university, and you will be awarded a university diploma.

This is much more impressive than Li Kailang's current junior high school diploma. With this diploma, Li Kailang can even enter the administrative management system and become a cadre.

Director Yang nodded. "It is a night school. However, this is just a recommendation letter. It cannot guarantee that you will be admitted to the night school. It depends on your own ability."

"I don't know, can this be exchanged for room quota?"

Director Yang was very nervous. After all, it was just a letter of recommendation and it did not guarantee admission.

"Yes, of course, Director Yang, I'll switch with you." Li Kailang said directly. Why wouldn't he want such an opportunity to improve his academic qualifications?

Regardless of whether you can get in or not, you have to get this letter of recommendation first.

Li Kailang: "By the way, Director Yang, I wonder which night university this recommendation letter recommends, is it Tsinghua University?"

Director Yang: "Don't be so delusional. Tsinghua University's night college places are very valuable. I can't even get one. Even if I could get one, can you get in?"

"That's right, then what is this?" Li Kailang smiled awkwardly. Everyone has a daydream.

Director Yang explained: "This is BJ Xuanwu Red Flag Night University, which was only established last year."

Different from the night universities run by colleges and universities, "Hongqi Night University" is the first district-run part-time university in BJ.

When BJ Xuanwu Hongqi Night University was first established, it had three colleges and two departments: the College of Arts, the College of Medicine, the Normal College, the Department of Politics, and the Department of Mechanical Manufacturing.

However, the school does not have full-time teachers, classrooms or teaching equipment.

But the directors and other faculty members of the college are not simple. They are either the director of the Health Bureau, the first secretary, or the propaganda minister.
Among the more than 70 teachers in the school, 47 are teachers or researchers from various famous brands.

With such a strong faculty, it is naturally difficult to graduate, but if you successfully graduate, your abilities will naturally be no worse than those of college students.

"Tomorrow is Tuesday, and there are classes there. If you want to go and have a look, I can take you there."

"Then I'll trouble Director Yang."

"It's okay. I happen to have something to do there tomorrow, so I'll take you there on the way."

"Is the housing quota issue settled then?" Director Yang said.

Li Kailang said: "It's settled, it's settled. If Director Yang doesn't believe it, we can make an agreement."

"That's naturally the best."

Director Yang immediately wrote two agreements, and the two of them signed and sealed them, and that was it.

Li Kailang said, "By the way, Director Yang, didn't you say that we should put an end to backdoor and connections? Isn't the recommendation letter you gave me a backdoor?"

Director Yang laughed and said, "That doesn't count. You didn't get into the steel mill through this. It's not the steel mill's business, so it doesn't count as a backdoor."

Li Kailang nodded: "Director Yang, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Director Yang: "Okay, Master Li, go and do your work. I'll see you tomorrow."

Li Kailang left the office with great joy holding the recommendation letter. With it, Li Kailang could improve his academic qualifications and would have one more path in the future.

Director Yang was also happy, one reason being that he had obtained a housing quota, and the other being that there was a possibility that an engineer would return to the workshop in the future.

After all, Li Kailang is a driver. If he is successfully admitted to night college, he should be enrolled in the mechanical manufacturing department and become an engineer after graduation.

After returning, the workshop will be able to add an engineer, which will greatly alleviate the current difficult situation.

If he fails, he won't lose anything.
