Chapter 660: Another General Meeting of the Academy 4

Director Wang is now very dissatisfied with the people in Courtyard No. 95, even including He Daqing, but she is only the director of the Nanluoguxiang Residents Committee.

Although Wang Xiuqin and Wang Chunmei, the director of Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office, were both called Director Wang in name, Wang Chunmei was a deputy-division-level director of the Sub-district Office, while she was just a clerk. Even He Daqing, the former manager of the No. 95 courtyard, was the director of the canteen of the Security Department Training Base of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill at the deputy-section level. What's more, He Daqing's relationship with No. 98 was no secret. Relying on his excellent cooking skills, he was noticed by Consultant Lin and was directly arranged from the team leader of the chefs in the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill canteen to the director of the Security Department Training Base canteen, becoming a formal deputy-section-level national cadre.

Moreover, He Daqing often went in and out of Courtyard No. 98, where not only lived his immediate superior, Secretary Zhou Xiu of the Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office, but also Consultant Lin from the State Council.

Although Wang Xiuqin was secretly annoyed, she really didn't want to offend He Daqing. Besides, He Daqing was just following the normal procedures today and asked her, the director of the Nanluoguxiang Residents Committee, to resign from his position as the manager. As the saying goes, you can't force a cow to drink water if it doesn't want to. Based on what she has learned since taking office, to be honest, this courtyard at No. 95 really proves the saying that the smaller the temple, the more evil spirits there are, and the shallower the pond, the more turtles there are.

Take what happened in the front yard of No. 95 Siheyuan this evening. Who in their right mind would do such an unthinkable thing?

Now Wang Xiuqin didn't want to waste any more time in this courtyard. If it wasn't for her duty, she wouldn't even want to step into this courtyard.

So Wang Xiuqin said in a deep voice: "Since Comrades He Daqing, Fang Dahu and Li Botao have already proposed to resign from the position of steward, then you need to re-elect a new steward for Courtyard No. 95. The old rules are still the same. Each of the three courtyards, front, middle and back, elects a steward. Here I would like to emphasize again that the steward's duties are to convey the tasks and documents of the street office and the neighborhood committee, strictly prevent the activities of enemy spies, and mediate the trivial conflicts in the courtyard. If the residents of the courtyard are dissatisfied with the mediation of the steward, they can directly report it to the neighborhood committee and the street office. If they find that the steward is unfair in the courtyard and violates discipline and laws, the residents of the courtyard can also report it directly to the neighborhood committee and the street office."

At this point, Wang Xiuqin glanced at the many residents present and continued, "Now, comrades who are interested in participating in the election of the steward of No. 95 Siheyuan are welcome to recommend themselves and stand in front."

As soon as Wang Xiuqin finished speaking, three people stood up and walked out of the crowd. Among them was Xu Fugui. The other two were Hao Aiguo from the front yard and Yue Xiangqian from the middle yard.

Wang Xiuqin frowned slightly. It was obvious that these people had already done the work of the residents in their respective courtyards in advance. However, she really didn't want to stay here any longer, so she said in a deep voice: "Since no one else has come out to run for the election, then from now on, the three of you will serve as the stewards of your respective courtyards. Now, please introduce yourselves first."

Hao Aiguo is a middle-aged man in his forties. Although he is not very tall, he looks quite strong. He said cheerfully: "Hello, Director Wang, dear neighbors, my name is Hao Aiguo, and I work in the logistics of our city's food factory. Today I would like to recommend myself to be the manager of the front yard. In the future, I will work hard to provide good service to the residents of our No. 95 courtyard. Please watch my performance." After saying that, he bowed slightly to the residents present.

Several residents in the front yard had obviously already discussed it in advance, so a few of them immediately clapped loudly, and the other residents had no choice but to follow suit and clapped a few times.

When the applause died down, Yue Xiangqian from the middle courtyard said with a smile: "Director Wang, dear neighbors, my name is Yue Xiangqian, and I am a level 6 fitter at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. I am willing to serve as the manager of the middle courtyard of the No. 95 courtyard. In the future, I will do my best to serve the residents of our courtyard."

Next, Xu Fugui also introduced himself, which marked the official appointment of the three new managers.

When Wang Xiuqin saw that a new manager had been elected, she didn't want to stay here any longer. She called Xu Fugui and the other two, whispered a few words to them, and then walked out of Courtyard No. 95 surrounded by them.

After seeing off Director Wang of the neighborhood committee, Hao Aiguo, Xu Fugui and Yue Xiangqian walked back to the central courtyard with smiles on their faces. The three of them exchanged some false words of courtesy and sat down on the benches next to the square table. Xu Fugui sat in the middle of the square table, while Hao Aiguo and Yue Xiangqian sat on either side, one on the left and one on the right.

Xu Fugui said with a smile on his face, "My dear neighbors, the three of us stewards have just discussed it. According to age, Hao Aiguo will be the third steward, Yue Xiangqian will be the second steward, and I will be the first steward. Today, our No. 95 courtyard has elected a new steward, which is also a happy event. This weekend, the three of us stewards plan to show a movie in our courtyard to celebrate."

Most of the residents were overjoyed after hearing this. Nowadays, if they want to watch a movie, in addition to paying to go to the cinema, the other option is to go to the Red Star Steel Mill when the movie is shown, and the families of the steel mill workers can go to watch it together. Of course, other residents can also sneak in to watch the movie with the steel mill workers in their own yards. However, when these residents heard Xu Fugui say tonight that he would show the movie in the No. 95 courtyard, they were still very happy. Some of them have already planned to bring their relatives and friends to watch it together. It would be so face-saving to tell others about such good news.

Of course, no one is a fool. Xu Fugui is the only projectionist in the Red Star Steel Mill, and it can only be his idea to show movies in the No. 95 courtyard.

Immediately, several people cheered loudly. Nice words were worthless anyway, as long as they could get the advantage, that was enough.

Hao Aiguo and Yue Xiangqian looked at each other, and Hao Aiguo said loudly: "Dear neighbors, our uncle will show you a movie this weekend, and the second uncle and I will buy some melon seeds and candies for each household, and then we will give you some sweets."

After hearing what Hao Aiguo said, everyone present couldn't help but cheer loudly. This was truly a pleasant surprise.
