50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 192 Discussion on Building a House
After the two returned to the principal's office from the air-raid shelter, they called Luo Dahai from the security department, Lao Yi and Tong Jiajia from the logistics department, Accountant Fan from the finance department, Chef Shi from the kitchen, as well as the leaders of each teaching and research group and other heads of various departments.

When they arrived at the principal's office, they were all surprised to see Principal Wang and came forward to greet him enthusiastically.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Sun Zhiwei coughed and said, "I have received a mission to go abroad. Before I return, Director Wang will temporarily return to lead everyone. Everyone is welcome."

Cack, cack, and everyone burst into applause.

Director Wang smiled and nodded without saying anything.

"Each department should prepare their report materials within three days and submit them to Director Wang. I will explain each task clearly. Anyone who needs my help can come and report to me."

"Logistics, please organize the consumption data and reserve list of supplies. Tong Jiajia will help with the statistics."

"The same goes for the kitchen. Bring the list of daily consumption and remaining supplies to Director Wang for review."

"Accountant Fan, prepare the account books. I'll check with Director Wang later."

"All departments are proceeding according to procedures. Director Wang is not an outsider. When I'm away, everything will be subject to Director Wang's arrangements. Is there any problem?"

“No problem!” “No problem!” “No problem!”

"Okay, everyone, please complete your reporting and come to the office when you're ready. We'll be dismissed now. Accountant Fan will stay for a moment."

After the short meeting, everyone went to find Director Wang and exchanged greetings for a long time before leaving.

After everyone else had left, Sun Zhiwei said to Accountant Fan, "Accountant Fan, go get our garden's small accounts. I need to check them with Director Wang."

Accountant Fan agreed and immediately turned back to get the account book. He spent the entire morning reconciling accounts and reporting on business.

Because the park normally has to do monthly reporting, there is no need to rewrite the report, and everyone can just take out the report from the end of February.

Through the work report, Director Wang quickly understood the general situation of the park.

When she saw the seven-digit deposit in the small treasury, she could no longer hide the smile on her lips and cheered for Sun Zhiwei and Accountant Fan.

"Zhiwei, you've done a great job. We now have enough money to build the building."

Sun Zhiwei also smiled and said, "It's enough, but we still need to think more about how to build it. The population of each family will increase in the future, so we need to leave some space for the future."

"What do you mean?" Director Wang didn't know anything about architecture, so he could only listen to him.

"Look, let's do this. We have the same two rooms, but we can make them bigger. If you have many children at home, you can just partition the rooms yourself and have more space to live in."

"Also, the room height. Other people's houses are 3 meters high. I'm worried whether this one is too high or too low."

"Let's just build it a little higher, all at once, and make the floor height 4 meters. In the future, those who have the conditions can build upper and lower floors at home, which will double the space."

"Then there are the windows. Other people's tube-shaped buildings all have small windows, but we doubled the size of our windows, which not only allows for better lighting but also saves on building materials.

"There are many unused features in the tube building, such as the chimney passage. It's completely useless and should be eliminated."

"And that garbage chute is not used. Can't we just go downstairs to take out the trash? Our comrades are not that lazy."

"And the toilets, they're all public now, and everyone has to queue up early every morning to poop." "There are so many people lining up, and they have to hold their poop and pee all the way to school. It would be better for each family to have a toilet, even if it's a small one, it's better than the dry toilets outside."

"There's also a public corridor that's only one meter wide. What can you do with it? If you put a few pairs of shoes in front of a house, it'll be hard for people to walk outside. If you put a stove in front of the door, people won't be able to move around."

"It would be better to widen the aisle to 2 meters to give each family a space for a coal stove. It's just a matter of adding a few bricks and won't cost much more."

"Old Director, look, the amount of materials coming in and out hasn't increased, it's actually decreased. It's also made life more convenient for the people. Don't you think this is a good idea?"

Director Wang watched him standing there talking about changes that would benefit the faculty and staff, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Zhiwei, you're a good director."

Sun Zhiwei smiled embarrassedly. These small changes neither violated the regulations nor increased the cost much, but could actually improve everyone's living environment in the future. Why not do it?

He has no ability to change national affairs, but if he doesn't even dare to do the small things around him, then he is too cowardly.

"Since you have so many ideas, why not just write them down before you go? I can't remember them if you just tell me."

"Write it down. When I arrange to build the house, I'll have the design institute modify the blueprint based on your ideas."

"Old director, you even have old friends in the design institute? You really have friends all over the world." Sun Zhiwei gave Director Wang a thumbs up.

"They are all defeated. If you can defeat them all, they will become your friends." Director Wang proudly introduced his experience in making friends.

Sun Zhiwei was stunned when he heard this: "Is this how you always make friends? Then those people you introduced me to before, you won't find a chance to cheat me, right?"

"They can't do anything to you, but they don't mind messing with a junior like me."

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, they won't dare to move." He said this with great arrogance.

As for what to do now that the old principal is gone, Sun Zhiwei didn't even ask.

If after many years, I still cannot control those personal connections, then my life has been in vain and I deserve to be tormented.

Before leaving get off work in the evening, Sun Zhiwei received a registration form from Director Wang, which stated that he should report to the Language College before March 3 to study English and make preparations for studying abroad.

In the next few days, Sun Zhiwei completed the handover of affairs with Director Wang and taught Tong Jiajia how to open the secret library.

From now on, she will be responsible for the safekeeping and use of the things in the secret vault. When Tong Jiajia saw so many good things in the secret vault, she looked at him with a strange look.

Sun Zhiwei had no choice but to explain the whole story to her in detail so that she wouldn't think he was corrupt and breaking the law.

After finishing his work at the kindergarten, he didn't delay any longer and went directly to the language school to register.

The college mainly teaches them daily English, and they cannot teach advanced subjects. The senior professors have all gone to farm.

This is because, during the selection process, it was discovered that the qualified candidates basically had no command of English, and some even had no command of English at all.

The higher-ups can only recruit people to learn basic English first. Otherwise, when they go to the UK, they won’t even be able to have basic spoken conversations, so how can they attend classes?
