Li Ruixin was very happy. He already had the experience of the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau's employees building their own houses. He knew that once he got the welfare house, he could live in it or sell it. It could be said that he benefited from both sides. Moreover, houses were fixed assets. They would only appreciate but not depreciate. Who wouldn't like to have two more houses? It just so happened that Qingman was worried about a new house. Now that she was about to get another one, would she be satisfied this time?
He was very happy in his heart, but his face was calm. He didn't look surprised or even happy at all. He said calmly, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble Director Wang to tell me more about it."
This time, Wang Xin did come to deliver the house. Not only did he deliver the house to Li Rui, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and a new official of Qingyang, but he also delivered the house to the newly appointed secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Song Chaoyang. This time, the welfare house secretly built by the Qingyang Municipal Party Committee was planned for three phases. However, only the houses in the first phase were available. The second and third phases hadn't been built yet. There weren't many houses in the first phase, but there were many people in the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government who were waiting to be allocated houses. It could be said that there were too many monks and too little porridge. Therefore, the real estate management office under the Agency Affairs Administration, which was in charge of housing allocation, had a headache. However, although it was a headache, most of the houses were allocated. Only a small part of the houses was left for emergencies. What was the rush?
In fact, there was no rush. It was nothing more than preparing to give favors. There were also several types of relationships. For example, this was the most important relationship between leaders of different levels. Any resources had to be given to the leader first. As for houses, which were an advantage in daily life, naturally, they had to be prepared for the leader first. The leaders could choose not to have them, but they couldn't not have them. They had to prepare for them. Of course, when the houses in the first phase were released, most of the leaders had already been allocated houses. However, it was hard to guarantee that a leader like Song Chaoyang would suddenly be transferred from somewhere, or a small leader would suddenly be promoted to a big leader, or a leader would want to buy a house for his or her relatives and friends. Therefore, a few houses had to be reserved for such leaders. Such leaders include the city leaders (team members), the deputy mayor of the Municipal Government, and the head of the Agency Affairs Bureau itself.
The second level of human relations were people like Li Rui, a new political star who suddenly appeared. Although his status and rank were not high, and he did not have much power in his hands, his political influence was immeasurable. Anyone with a bit of political awareness would choose to be on good terms with him, and this was a business that could only be profitable.
Of course, there were also the third and fourth level relationships, which I won't go into here. Nowadays, it wasn't only the Agency Affairs Bureau that played this game. Other administrative institutions with various resources were also playing this game, and they were playing it even more beautifully. For example, the Department of Motor Vehicles would keep the best license plate numbers. Some would be reserved for the leaders, and some would be sold at auctions to fill their coffers. For example, some unscrupulous staff at the train station would take out some tickets to sell through normal channels and give the others to scalpers so that they could sell them at a high price and then share the spoils. Such things were too numerous to mention.
Since he had an emergency house in his hands and a clear emergency target, Wang Xin took action today. He specially picked a few good houses from the reserved houses and brought them to the Municipal Party Committee to give to Song Chaoyang and Li Rui. Now that he saw that Li Rui was calm and indifferent after he explained his intentions, he couldn't help but secretly praise him in his heart. "As expected of a secretary of the Municipal Party Committee's Secretary. He's experienced a lot and doesn't put a mere house in his eyes at all."
He nodded and whispered, "According to the normal distribution procedures of welfare housing, there's no quota for the first phase of housing. The quota I brought you today was taken from a retired leader of the Municipal Government. I considered that you're in the prime of your life, and you have elders and young children to take care of. Family housing might be a bit tight, so I secretly took one for you and didn't dare to let anyone know …"
Li Rui couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. This Deputy Director Wang's vision was still small, and he placed too much importance on immediate benefits. In fact, since he came here to do a favor, he should do it generously and beautifully. Did he think that he wouldn't remember this favor if he didn't say it out loud? But he was afraid that he wouldn't remember this favor, so he deliberately said it out loud. This would put him at a disadvantage. Wanting to tease him, he said seriously, "Ah? What? Intercepting the phone of a retired leader? How can that be?! No, I can't take it. A gentleman doesn't take what others like. Director Wang, thank you for your kindness, but I can't take this quota. You should return it to that old leader. "
Wang Xin was stunned and stared at him blankly. He thought to himself, Why isn't this kid playing by the rules? I've already pointed out the favor to him. According to the rules, he should be moved to tears and thank me profusely. Then, he would accept the house and remember my big favor. Why is he not only refusing to accept the house, but also asking me to return it? Is this for real? Did water enter his brain, or did I hear wrongly? Wang Xin smiled and said, "You want me to return it to that old leader?"
Li Rui nodded seriously and said, "Yes, I don't have to worry about not having a house to live in now. Furthermore, even if I don't have a house to live in, I can't take the retired leader's house. Wouldn't that be too tasteless? As a lower level leader, no matter what, I can't fight with the leader for the welfare of the unit, right? I will have to trouble you to return it to him. I can't take this house. I will wait for the second or third phase. "
This time, Wang Xin was completely at a loss. He was tongue-tied and didn't know what to say. After a while, he thought of an excuse and smiled awkwardly. "Actually, that old leader is no longer a member of the Municipal Government. Before he retired, his relationship with the Municipal Government had already changed from the position of the Vice-Chairman of the CPPCC. And this batch of welfare houses was funded and built by the Municipal Party Committee. In theory, it has nothing to do with the CPPCC. Therefore, it doesn't matter if you don't give the house to that old leader. It's just that our director was promoted by that old leader. Because of our old relationship with him, he asked me to keep a house for him. But we didn't tell that old leader about this. We don't know if he will take it or not. After all, he won't take it for free. So, Director Li, don't worry and accept this house. There won't be any problems. "
Li Rui held back his laughter and asked, "Then what if that old leader wants the house?"
Wang Xin opened his mouth and said, "Then I will give him another house. Actually, we still have a few houses in our hands in case of emergencies. But the location and so on are not as good as yours."
Li Rui was just teasing him. It wasn't that he didn't want the house. In China, who would complain about having more houses? Seeing that Wang Xin was so anxious to explain for a long time, Li Rui knew when to stop. He nodded and said, "Okay, then I will accept it. But after I accept it, if that old leader comes to me because of this matter, Director Wang, you will have to help me explain."
Wang Xin thought to himself, There's no such thing as "that old leader". It's all made up by me to fool you. He was also a little puzzled. Why is this Director Li so honest? He believes whatever other people say and even works as a secretary for the Municipal Party Committee's secretary? Wang Xin smiled and said, "Okay, then I will first explain the situation of your house to you. Then, I will talk about the purchase process …" As he spoke, he took the stack of papers on the coffee table and pulled out a floor plan. He put it in front of Li Rui and explained, "This is a house that I have specially selected from the reserved houses for you. In terms of location, floor, layout, lighting, environment, and safety, it is the best. Take a look …"
Wang Xin didn't lie. The house that was sent to Li Rui's doorstep was really good. The Qingyang Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government invested in the construction of the welfare housing community called "Cloud Lake Immortal Residence". It was adjacent to Cloud Lake Park. Although it was located in the downtown area, it cleverly avoided the hustle and bustle of the city. Hidden under the scenery of Cloud Lake Park, the environment was elegant and quiet. It could be said that it was the community with the best environment in Qingyang City. The house that Wang Xin chose for Li Rui was located in the building in the deepest part of the community. First of all, this increased the privacy and safety of the house. The house was located on the eighth floor of the building. It had two rooms and two living rooms. One side faced the sun while the other faced the west. The lighting was excellent. The side facing the west just happened to face Cloud Lake Park. Standing on the west balcony, one could enjoy the scenery of Cloud Lake Park. The view was good and beautiful. This added a touch of liveliness and brightness to the boring work and family life.
After listening to Wang Xin's introduction, Li Rui was extremely satisfied. He felt that although this Deputy Director Wang was a little unscrupulous, he had a good eye. For example, the house that Wang Xin chose for him was probably one of the best houses in the first phase. However, he was a little puzzled. With such a good house, all aspects were excellent, and the floor was so auspicious. Shouldn't it be given to the leader? Why would it be given to a small secretary like him? Then he thought about it again. Doesn't this mean that the Leader's house is better than his? Tsk, tsk. Could it be that there was a better house in the first phase than his? Oh, right. Maybe it was because the house was a little bigger. That would be better.
After Wang Xin introduced the basic situation of the house to him, he went on to talk about the price and purchase process of the house.
