Chapter 172 Coming up with ideas
Director Xu leaned closer to Chen Feng and asked in a low voice, "What's the solution? Tell me about it."
Chen Feng pulled Director Xu to the side, put his lips close to his ear and whispered.
The old man saw this and asked, "Boy, what are you doing behind my back?"
Chen Feng quickly waved his hands and smiled calmly: "No, I'll tell you in detail later."
After a few whispers, Director Xu was stunned, his eyes wide open: "This... can really work?"
Chen Feng shrugged, looking relaxed: "How do you know if you don't try? Just give it a try."
The two looked at each other, understood each other tacitly, and the topic ended there.
Director Xu picked up the teacup, drank it all in one gulp, and then stood up to say goodbye. Before leaving, he reminded her, "Xiao Chen, after the Spring Festival, Xu Xue will have her spring break. Remember to come to my house and play."
Chen Feng nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I will definitely go. Director Xu, take care."
After Director Xu left, the old man couldn't wait to turn to Chen Feng and said, "What kind of bad advice did you just give him? Don't meddle in official affairs."
Chen Feng chuckled and soothed him, "Now that you're retired, don't worry about these trivial matters. Come, let's continue playing chess. Did you sneak in a few extra moves while I wasn't paying attention?"
When the old man heard this, his beard almost stood out in anger: "Nonsense! You are dishonest, kid. Just wait and see how I deal with you today!"
"Who's afraid of who? Come on!" Chen Feng accepted the challenge with a smile.
New Year's Eve was spent happily at the old man's house. On the first day of the new year, Ning Yao came to the house carrying large and small bags.
Chen Yufen had an unconcealable smile on her face. She held Ning Yao's hand and reluctantly let go.
"Yaoyao, come here and help Auntie pick some vegetables." Chen Yufen handed over a handful of greens and looked at Ning Yao expectantly and said, "Speaking of which, shouldn't we find some time to sit down and formally meet the elders of our two families?"
There was a hint of tentativeness and seriousness in her tone.
Ning Yao's heart sank slightly, and the scene of the argument with her father last night involuntarily emerged in her mind. Although no fierce conflict broke out in the end, the lingering haze still shrouded her heart, making it difficult for her to let go.
She forced a smile and said, "Auntie, this matter... depends on my dad's opinion. He's been very busy with work lately."
Chen Yufen was such a thoughtful person that she saw through Ning Yao's reluctance at a glance. She gently patted the back of Ning Yao's hand and said softly, "Yaoyao, Auntie knows you have something on your mind, but don't put too much pressure on yourself. This place is like your second home. Come whenever you want."
The food was served one after another. Chen Yufen was afraid that Ning Yao would not eat well, so she would give her a piece of braised pork and then pour her some soup.
"Yaoyao, look at you. You've lost a lot of weight since you went out to work. Eat more. It makes me sad to see you." Chen Yufen's eyes were full of love and care.
Ning Yao was so moved that she almost cried. It was here that she could feel the warmth of home.
Chen Feng looked at the mountain of rice bowls in front of Ning Yao and frowned slightly, worried that she would not be able to eat and would have to force herself to eat, so he said, "Mom, the way you pick up the food is not right. Girls nowadays are all about losing weight."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yufen immediately retorted, "Nonsense! You've only been eating good meat for a few days, and you're already shouting about losing weight? You should cherish what you have, don't you know? Yaoyao is out there all alone, with no food to eat or a safe place to live. Don't you feel bad for her?"
Chen Feng smiled and explained, "The school food is indeed a little lacking. You can get her some delicious food to take with you later, and that will solve the problem. As for accommodation, don't worry, I'll have good news soon."
Ning Yao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "Is the school's teachers' quarters finished?"
Chen Feng nodded and said with a smile, "That's right. The house will be ready for handover in the spring. Then you'll have a comfortable place to live."
Ning Yao's face lit up with joy when he heard this: "That's great! A lot of teachers have asked me about it recently. Everyone is looking forward to it."
Chen Feng said confidently: "Don't worry, I promise to make them all satisfied."
Not long after the Spring Festival, schools started to open one after another.
One month after the start of school, the Ninghai University teachers' quarters built by Chen Feng officially welcomed the day of handover.
However, Chen Feng did not show up in person this time. Instead, he asked Bao Guoqiang to represent the Phnom Penh Company and lead Principal Shang and other school leaders to the site for acceptance.
When Principal Shang and school leaders saw it, they couldn’t be more satisfied!
This community is beyond their imagination!
First of all, there are more than enough houses, and not a single teacher is left out. When the school allocates houses to teachers, there will absolutely be no wrangling or disputes.
After all the houses are allocated, if there are any remaining houses, their leaders can make allocations.
Secondly, the environment of this community is so good. Whether it is the greenery or the various living facilities, it opened their eyes and they were full of praise.
Nothing much to say, let’s divide it!
This is a political achievement that fell into the hands of Principal Shang, and he must eat it as soon as possible.
They then convened a school committee meeting, with President Shang personally in charge and starting the teacher housing plan at Ninghai University.
The teachers at Ninghai University were all excited.
After the announcement was issued, many teachers couldn't believe it.
It is because of the eight words above, "Every share shall be given, and no household shall be left out!"
This means that whether it is an old teacher who has worked at Ninghai University for many years or a new face who has just stepped into the school, whether retired or not, they can all enjoy the benefits of this housing distribution.
The specific rules for housing allocation are also very humane. First of all, the order of housing selection is determined based on the length of teaching experience. The longer the teaching experience, the greater the priority selection right.
But when choosing a house, there is an unwritten rule: allocate according to demand, and don't be greedy for big and perfect.
For example, a family of three can be allocated a house of 80 to 100 square meters according to the standard.
If the family's actual needs are small and they only want 60 square meters of land, that is completely fine; but on the other hand, if they want to exceed the prescribed range and choose a house of more than 100 square meters, that is not allowed because such houses need to be reserved for teachers with larger families.
This principle is both fair and reasonable. The teachers all agreed with it and did not raise any objections.
During the following three days of the public notice period, the school was in an uproar.
The teachers seemed to be distracted from teaching. When they gathered together after class, all they talked about was the allocation of rooms.
They asked each other about their teaching experience and family situation, and speculated on what kind of house they would be allocated.
Many people also use their spare time to go outside the newly built residential areas to "check out the area".
Although the community has not been officially delivered and cannot be visited, the teachers still enjoy wandering around the periphery, trying to collect more information for their future choices from the aspects of appearance, location, orientation, etc.
In this way, three days passed quickly amid the teachers' heated discussions and expectations.
Finally, the day of choosing a house arrived.
On that day, all the teachers' attention was focused on Mr. Zhan from the Geology Department. As the teacher with the longest teaching experience in this housing allocation, he had the first right to choose a room.
His choice not only affects his own living conditions, but also, to some extent, becomes a weather vane for subsequent house selection.
