In other words, Wang Xin wasn't giving Li Rui a house, but real money. Wang Xin also knew that this was a big gift for Li Rui, so he expressed his gratitude at the beginning. If Li Rui had really rejected him and wanted to wait for the second or third phase of the house, then sorry, he wouldn't have been able to wait for such a good house.
As for the purchase process, it was very simple. First, receive the quota, then sign the contract, and finally, make the payment. If Li Rui had enough cash, then he could directly pay the full amount, and the house key would be issued after a while. If he didn't have enough cash, it was fine too. He would first pay a certain amount of down payment, then use the provident fund to get a loan. After the loan was completed, the house key would be issued on schedule. In this aspect, it was very humane.
After Wang Xin finished speaking, he said, "Think about it. Do you want to pay the full amount or take a loan? Whichever is convenient." Li Rui didn't even think and said, "Take a loan. The provident fund is idle anyway." Wang Xin said, "Okay, then take a loan. I will give you the quota today. When you have time, you can come to our place to sign the contract and complete the loan. After that, just wait for the house key to be issued."
Li Rui nodded. The reason why he chose to take a loan and not pay the full amount was to maintain a low profile, or rather, to maintain the image of an upright and honest official in front of outsiders. Of course, he had the ability to pay the full amount for this house, but if he did that, what would others think? Oh, Li Rui was just a small section-level official. His monthly salary was only a little more than 2000, and he had only been working for a few years. How much money could he have saved? Yet, he was able to fork out 300,000 to buy a welfare house. He must have received some benefits.
Li Rui chose to take a loan because he considered the possible negative impact. He also knew that most of the leaders would choose to take a loan when buying a welfare house. Of course, most of them had the financial ability to pay the full amount.
After settling Li Rui's house, Wang Xin talked about the basic situation of the house that he gave to the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Song Chaoyang. He actually wanted to tell Song Chaoyang about it face to face. First, he wanted to get familiar with the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, and second, he wanted to use this opportunity to curry favor with the Municipal Party Committee Secretary and express his sincerity. He hoped that the latter would remember him and give him a promotion in the future. However, he knew in his heart that the welfare house was not something that could be discussed in public. This kind of thing could be discussed in front of a small official like Li Rui, but definitely could not be discussed in front of a city official like Song Chaoyang. Unless he was one of Song Chaoyang's trusted aides, he did not have the guts to talk to Song Chaoyang face to face. Luckily, this kind of thing was the same as talking to his secretary Li Rui. When the matter reached his ears, he would still remember this favor.
After listening to Wang Xin talk about the general situation of the house and looking at the floor plan, Li Rui had a basic understanding of the house that his boss was given.
Song Chaoyang's house was not in the same building as Li Rui's. Li Rui's building was located in the deepest part of the district, which was also the northernmost point. The north side of the building was empty and there was no cover. It was very easy for the north wind to "take care of" it directly. In terms of Feng Shui, facing north was very easy to attract evil spirits. Such a building was not very auspicious. It seemed that it was also because of this reason that Li Rui was lucky enough to be given a good eight-story house in that building. Song Chaoyang's house was located in the south side of his building. With his building as a shelter, not only could it block the wind, it could also remove any unfavorable Feng Shui. The house was on the eighteenth floor. Compared to Li Rui's eight-story house, it was much higher and the floor number was more auspicious. The layout was three bedrooms and two living rooms. The area was less than 140 square meters. It was the largest house in the welfare house. In fact, if it wasn't for the fact that they were worried about exceeding the limit, the size of the house could be even bigger.
After Wang Xin finished speaking, he stood up and said, "Report to the secretary first and see if he is satisfied. If he is not satisfied with the location and layout, I can adjust it for him. I'm here today for this matter. If you don't have any other questions, I'll take my leave first. You have my phone number, so let me know when you have a result. "
Li Rui stood up to send him off. "Okay, I'll let you know as soon as possible. Sorry for the trouble, Chief Wang. If I have time, I'll definitely treat you to a meal."
This was exactly what Wang Xin wanted to hear. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Well said, well said."
The two of them stood up and walked towards the door. However, just as they reached Song Chaoyang's office, the door opened. Zheng Zijuan walked out, followed by Song Chaoyang.
When Wang Xin saw the two city leaders, he was so scared that his body trembled. He quickly moved to the side of the wall and let them go first. He didn't dare to take the initiative to greet them. He thought to himself that if the two city leaders were going out for a meeting or some other business, he would delay their time and make them unhappy.
Of course, he was wrong. Song Chaoyang wasn't going out for a meeting or some other business with Zheng Zijuan at all. He was just sending her off. After seeing her to the door, he saw that he was sincere and turned to leave.
Zheng Zijuan walked out by herself. When she saw Li Rui standing in front of the door, she mistakenly thought that he was going to send her off. She said, "Xiao Rui, you don't have to send me off. You do what you need to do." After saying that, she gave him an affectionate look and walked away in her high heels.
Li Rui didn't stand on ceremony with her and obediently listened to her. He stood there without moving and looked at Wang Xin. He said politely and gently, "Director Wang, let me send you out."
Wang Xin saw Zheng Zijuan's intimate attitude towards Li Rui and was very envious. He thought to himself, It's good to be the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. The other members of the Municipal Party Committee all have to treat him like someone important. It's funny that I'm only a deputy director. However, in front of Zheng Zijuan, a member of the Municipal Party Committee, I'm not as popular as Li Rui. Sigh, it's really frustrating to compare yourself to others. He smiled and said, "No need, no need. You don't have to be so polite. Go ahead and do what you need to do."
After saying that, he didn't wait for Li Rui to say anything and walked towards the door. He thought to himself, Even the head of the Publicity Department of the Municipal Party Committee didn't allow you to send me off. If I let you send me off, wouldn't it make it seem that I'm more ostentatious than the municipal leaders? I don't want to cause trouble for myself.
Li Rui saw that he walked very quickly and was already at the door in the blink of an eye. He didn't send him off and said, "Take care, Director Wang." When he turned around, he saw that the door to the boss's office was still open. He went back to the coffee table and took the floor plan that Wang Xin left behind.
After a few minutes, Song Chaoyang had already learned everything about the welfare housing from Li Rui. He shook his head and said, "I don't want this welfare housing." Li Rui was slightly surprised and said, "You don't want it?" Song Chaoyang smiled and looked at him and said, "Why must I want it? This is indeed a welfare housing for the staff of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, but I'm not a local official of Qingyang. I was parachuted in from the provincial capital. My home isn't in Qingyang and I don't plan to move to Qingyang. Therefore, there's no point in me wanting this welfare housing. Besides, if I want one, it'll be one less for the local leaders of Qingyang. I can't bear to do that. "
After hearing these words, Li Rui looked at him with admiration. He thought that the boss's vision was really high and he had a big heart. He couldn't be tempted by a mere welfare housing. He was really far from being able to compare with him.
Then again, although he admired his boss, he didn't believe his high-sounding words. Although his words were very reasonable and impeccable, Li Rui believed that the real reason why his boss didn't want the welfare housing was that he was afraid of attracting rumors and slanders. He was also afraid that the welfare housing would be used against him by his political opponents. After all, this batch of welfare housing was a shady thing. Moreover, Song Chaoyang, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, was not included in the first phase of the housing. If he really wanted this housing and his political opponents were serious about it, he would really be disgraced. As the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Qingyang, Song Chaoyang's reputation was very important. If he was really disgraced and became the laughing stock of the officialdom and the people, he wouldn't be able to stay in Qingyang anymore. Even if he forced himself to stay, he wouldn't be able to achieve anything.
However, if the same thing happened to Li Rui, it wouldn't be a problem because he was a small figure. A little flaw was nothing to a small figure, but for a big figure like Song Chaoyang, this flaw would be infinitely magnified. People could accept an ordinary person having an affair, but they couldn't accept a star having an extramarital affair. Therefore, Li Rui could accept the welfare housing with a clear conscience, but Song Chaoyang didn't dare to accept it because of his misgivings.
Song Chaoyang said, "I don't want it, but Xiao Rui, you can take it. After all, this is a rare opportunity. Since you have the chance, you should seize it. By the way, do you need money? If so, I'll ask Teacher Sun to transfer the money to you. "
As a leader, if he could say such words to his secretary, it meant that his relationship with his secretary was very close. It also meant that this secretary was quite successful.
Li Rui was flattered and said hurriedly, "No, I don't need it. I'm planning to get a loan. If it's a loan, I only need to pay a small down payment. Qingman and I can still afford the down payment."
Song Chaoyang said "oh" and didn't say anything else.
