Chapter 141 Moving, fire in the new house!
Although Zhao Dongchuan had a huge sum of money, at this time of year, houses with certificates that could be bought and sold privately were extremely rare. For so long, he had only seen this one, which belonged to Grandpa Huang.
Therefore, being able to get a house was really good enough for him. After all, his qualifications were still too shallow. If he hadn't had extra points from his works and been promoted, he would definitely not have been able to get a number in the normal queue.
Director Wang’s attitude towards him is crucial. It can be seen that both the museum and the Cultural Bureau value him very much and give him preferential treatment.
"Thank you for your cultivation, Director!" Zhao Dongchuan said sincerely.
"Hahaha, this is not my credit, but your own ability. You have so many outstanding works, and everyone can see it. Not to mention Huangyuan, your achievements are also among the best in the whole country!" Director Wang put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile.
"It is estimated that the notice and the corresponding list will be released in a few days. You wait for the notice, and then go to the Human Resources Department to complete the formalities and get the key!"
"Ok!"
Afterwards, the two did not talk about this topic anymore, but started chatting about the heavy snow, discussing ancient poems and essays about snow scenes, and appreciating "沁园春·雪".
After chatting for a while, Zhao Dongchuan said goodbye and left.
Before leaving, he took out a pack of pastries from the capital from his bag and handed it to the curator.
Reciprocity is the norm! Although Zhao Dongchuan is not a flatterer, he still understands some of the ways of the world.
This thing is not expensive, just try it.
Time passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, the first month of the lunar calendar had passed and it was March of the new calendar. During this period, the housing allocation was also completed. He went to the Human Resources Department to complete the formalities, signed his signature, and got the keys.
Since Huangyuan City is vast and sparsely populated, and basically everyone has their own house, it is relatively peaceful, unlike the capital where people fight to the death for a spot.
It's just that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there will be fights. He escaped from this situation because of the appreciation of noble people and his "talent" to directly attack from a lower dimension, and he was promoted.
If he were an ordinary employee, that would be a different matter.
This was also one of the purposes he set for himself at the beginning to become a "plagiarist". Eating the emperor's food was part of it, but the main purpose was for various "hidden benefits".
Zhao Dongchuan planned to go to Pengcheng again after things in Huangyuan were almost done to find Li Dadan to get some more goods.
Now that the house is in hand, the dormitory will naturally be returned to the museum. Actually, there are not many people living in the dormitory. One reason is that the dormitory conditions are not very good and there are few living facilities. The other reason is that other people cannot stay overnight in the dormitory. The doorman checks very strictly and has many rules. The door is locked at a certain time.
So the first thing Zhao Dongchuan did after getting the house was to move.
As a bachelor, he doesn't have many things, and many large items can be stuffed directly into the space, but he still has to pretend to do it, so these days after get off work he pretends to ride a bicycle, moving large and small bags of things, deliberately showing off to others.
The house he was allocated was in Nanguan, close to the government compound. It was a small house in a remote corner with a small courtyard.
But Zhao Dongchuan didn't care. What he wanted was quietness, and this place was just right.
He cleaned the yard and the room, then officially moved in. He didn't hold any banquets because Zhao Dongchuan knew that he wouldn't be able to live here for long. He would have to leave next year when he took the college entrance examination. However, he could invite a few acquaintances.
After all these things were done, another week passed. Seeing that the watches were almost sold out, Zhao Dongchuan could not wait any longer, so he took the invitation letter that Li Yuer had sent him before and found the director to get a letter of introduction. He went to Pengcheng in the name of a business trip and exchange.
Thinking of Li Yuer, Zhao Dongchuan also smiled slightly. During this period, they often communicated through letters, so he knew something about her recent situation. As for Hu Jianjun, they haven't seen each other for more than half a year. I wonder how they are doing now.
The museum attached great importance to Zhao Dongchuan's trip. After all, it was under the name of cultural exchange, and cross-provincial exchange was quite prestigious for the museum, so they approved a longer time for his exchange activities and gave him a lot of national food coupons and travel expenses.
The curator also specifically reminded him to be careful, probably because he had heard about the recent unrest in Pengcheng.
Apart from asking him to be careful about his safety, the curator did not doubt his purpose of going to Pengcheng. Zhao Dongchuan currently has unlimited potential here and his treatment is quite good. Even if the other side is very prosperous, he would not take the risk of escaping to the other side.
As for why he had an invitation letter from Pengcheng, the curator did not ask much. Who doesn't have a few friends?
Zhao Dongchuan went to the train station with his letter of introduction and work permit, and waited in line for more than half an hour before he bought a train ticket to Pengcheng.
For some reason, the inspection was stricter this time, and he couldn't get away with it like before. Fortunately, he had all the necessary documents and was a cadre, so he was able to buy a sleeper ticket smoothly with the "Writer's Certificate" issued by the Huangyuan Prefectural Committee.
Before leaving, Zhao Dongchuan also invited Jia Bing and his wife, Du Lili, Wu Huiliang and others to his "new home" for dinner. These were the only acquaintances he had in the provincial capital, and it could be considered as a way to get the new house started and gather some people. Originally, he wanted to invite the curator, but he felt it was not appropriate, so forget it and invite them individually later.
"Xiao Zhao, your house is pretty good. It has a small courtyard with its own entrance. Although it only has one room, it is quiet and there are no people around to disturb you. It's just a bit far from the cultural center!" Jia Bing came to Zhao Dongchuan's new house, took a look and said with a smile.
"When you get married, you can apply to your company for a slightly bigger house, or at least a two-hole brick kiln!" Sister Shufen said with a smile, with her big belly.
Originally, Zhao Dongchuan didn't want Sister Shufen to come, because he was afraid that it would be unsafe for her to ride along with her big belly. But Sister Shufen insisted on coming, so Zhao Dongchuan had no choice but to go along with her. Fortunately, Jia Bing was relatively stable on the bicycle.
Du Lili and Wu Huiliang were rather surprised by Zhao Dongchuan's invitation, but they gladly accepted it. The "great writer" invited them to dinner as a gesture of respect to them, and they certainly had to give him that respect.
"I didn't know that you were pregnant, otherwise I would have asked the driver to pick you up on the way!" Wu Huiliang said politely to Sister Shufen.
Wu Huiliang's father has a car, so this time he came here to ask his father to drop off Du Lili and Wu Huiliang.
"It's my fault. I didn't think of this!" Du Lili, Jia Bing's little apprentice, also looked annoyed.
Du Lili loves literature and often asks Jia Bing to teach her how to write poetry. Her writing skills have gradually improved. Jia Bing can be regarded as her "mentor"!
