With Lu Ye's return, the working atmosphere in the sales station returned to its tense state again.

Based on the principle of voluntariness, Su Yunjie allowed everyone to choose which group to join.

As expected, most of the boys chose Gu Shun.

Those girls all chose to join Zhou Yan's group.

The originally peaceful sales department became a little tense because it was divided into two groups.

Especially Zhou Yan and Gu Shun, both of them are deputy managers and team leaders. Neither of them wants to be outshined by the other and fall behind.

Everyone is holding their breath, wanting to beat the other in terms of performance.

And this is exactly the situation that Lu Ye wants to see most.

The second night after returning.

Lu Ye brought the gifts he had prepared and went back to the Su family with Su Mengyao.

This time they went to Guangzhou, and it was Su Mengyao's father who helped to arrange the soft sleeper tickets.

Now that Lu Ye and the others are back, it’s only right to say thank you.

"Mom, we are back."

Pushing open the door of the villa, Su Yunjie shouted into the house.

Zhou Hui, who was preparing dinner, came out of the kitchen with a smile when she heard the sound.

Seeing the children come back, Zhou Hui's face was instantly filled with smiles.

"Come inside quickly."

"Auntie."

Lu Ye greeted him, changed into slippers and walked into the living room.

The display was the same as before, with almost no changes. Apart from being clean, Lu Ye also felt a bit deserted.

Come to think of it, Su Mengyao lives on campus, and he took Su Yunjie with him on a business trip. Zhou Hui is the only one in this huge villa during the day, and at night, it's just the two of them. How could it not be lonely?

Looking at her children, Zhou Hui smiled and said, "You guys stay in the living room for a while. The food will be ready soon. Your dad called and said he has a meeting tonight and he doesn't know when he'll be back. Let's eat first and don't wait for him."

"Dad seems to be very busy recently. He came back very late yesterday." Su Yunjie said after hearing this.

"It's been a bit busy. A while ago, workers at the bearing factory accused several of their leaders of favoritism and corruption when allocating housing to employees. Hundreds of them filed a petition together, blocking the gates of the provincial party committee. It caused quite a stir."

"In the final analysis, it's all because there's too little housing."

"The provincial party committee attaches great importance to this matter."

"Although your father doesn't manage the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, he is in charge of urban and rural construction. These days, he is busy with planning and building new houses."

Zhou Hui said with some emotion.

Su Yunjie didn't feel anything about these things.

But Su Mengyao also had certain feelings:

"It's the same at our school. Our counselor has been working at the school for almost ten years and has several children, but he still can't get a house."

"Usually, she lives in the dormitory with her daughter, and her husband lives in the dormitory of the electromechanical factory with their son. The couple can only see each other on weekends."

"We are so afraid to disturb her on weekends."

Lu Ye listened to these words silently.

Housing shortage is not a problem limited to individual cities, but a nationwide problem.

There is no concept of property rights for houses nowadays, as they are all public housing belonging to various factories.

As the number of employees continues to increase, this policy of public housing allocation has long been unable to meet the housing needs of the ever-expanding population.

The factory had no money to build new houses, so the conflicts naturally grew deeper and deeper.

If you’re not careful, it will explode like a powder keg.

There is nothing strange about hundreds of people blocking the door to petition.

Lu Ye opened the bag and took out a square box from it: "Auntie, this is the gift I brought back for you from Guangzhou."

"Oh, you're really thoughtful."

Zhou Hui took the box and opened it. Inside was an extremely exquisite round fan. The lychees and blue fairy flycatchers embroidered on it were lifelike and very beautiful.

"Is this embroidered? It's really beautiful."

Zhou Hui looked at the fan with great interest: "This must be expensive."

"Mom, that's Guangdong embroidery. In the past, they were tribute items. This fan alone is almost as much as someone's annual salary." Su Yunjie said from the side.

When Lu Ye bought this fan, Su Yunjie was next to him, so he naturally knew it.

"So expensive?"

Zhou Hui only knew that this fan was no ordinary item, but she didn't expect it to be so expensive.

"I can't accept this. It's too valuable." Upon hearing this, Zhou Hui hurriedly wanted to return the fan to Lu Ye.

"Auntie, don't let him talk nonsense. Those are just scams for those outsiders in Hong Kong. They are not that expensive."

"Just accept it with confidence. Besides, I, a man, have no use for this thing. If you give it back to me, I have nowhere to put it." Lu Ye said with a smile.

"Mom, just accept it." Su Mengyao also helped persuade her.

Seeing this, Zhou Hui took it.

"Thank you, Xiao Lu. I won't be shy then."

······

Dinner isn't ready yet.

There was a sound of car outside the villa.

Su Yao, who had originally said he had a meeting tonight and would be back at an uncertain time, returned home early.

Su Yao walked into the villa with a somewhat depressed look on his face.

He didn't have a good time at tonight's meeting.

The original discussion was about how to solve the housing problem, but as the conversation went on, it turned into a planning issue, and several leaders asked him for a solution.

But what’s the use of Su Yao having plans?

After all, building a house requires not only land but also real money.

In addition, there are many contradictions that have accumulated long ago. It is impossible to solve the housing problem with just one or two solutions.

Su Yao is straightforward and emphasized the difficulties in solving the housing problem at the meeting.

In theory, solving the housing problem should be the responsibility of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau and should be handled by the deputy provincial governor in charge of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau.

But the biased people are members of the Standing Committee and have the right to vote in small meetings.

The result was that he, the deputy governor in charge of urban and rural construction and land, had to take the blame.

This made Su Yao sigh. Not to mention that a higher-ranking official can crush someone to death, even if he is also a deputy governor, he can still crush someone to death if he lacks the opportunity to raise his hand!

"Dad is back."

Seeing Su Yao enter the room, Su Yunjie was the first to shout.

"Well, you're back."

Seeing the children in the house, Su Yao's depressed mood finally improved a little, and he forced a smile on his face.

"Uncle." Seeing Su Yao, Lu Ye also stood up and greeted him.

Su Yao nodded.

Su Yunjie has already reported to Su Yao about what Lu Ye and the others did in Yangcheng.

Lu Ye used completely reasonable and legal means to support two companies at the same time. He not only solved the problem of the Nusi Refrigerator Factory continuing to sell spare parts at low prices, but also saved the village collective enterprise that was on the verge of bankruptcy and closure, allowing hundreds of people to have jobs and food to eat.

And he himself also made enough benefits from it.

Such a happy result for everyone, Lu Ye's method can be said to be very clever.

"Yunjie told me about your business in Yangcheng. Yes, your business acumen has surprised me again."
