Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 54 Special Building (Please read!)
"Yes, that's me!" Yang Ning nodded with a smile.

"Oh." The staff member saw Yang Ning's gaze and quickly lowered his head to avoid being noticed by him.

He just kept muttering in his heart: "I'm not that fat, why can I eat so much?"

This year, Beijing has begun to pilot a graded wage system, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, as a directly affiliated unit, is naturally included in the pilot scope.

According to Yang Ning's resume, his salary was set at level ten based on his technical level.

After completing the formalities at the Personnel Department, Yang Ning originally planned to go to the Logistics Department to see if he had been allocated a house.

But he didn't expect the personnel department staff to stop him directly.

"Comrade Yang Ning, Dean Guo asked you to go to him first after you complete the entry procedures."

"Thank you."

Although he was very confused, Yang Ning still followed the staff's instructions and went to Dean Guo's office.

"Comrade Yang Ning is here?"

As soon as he entered the office, Dean Guo stood up and asked with a smile, "Take a seat first. How was your induction going? Was it smooth?"

"It went very smoothly, President Guo. You called me here today because..."

After Yang Ning sat down, he looked at Dean Guo and asked puzzledly.

"Haha, are you waiting for the allocation of housing?" Dean Guo laughed when he saw that he was fidgeting.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh. After all, my home is quite far from here. If I go home every day, it will not only be inconvenient, but also waste the country's resources."

Yang Ning's thoughts were revealed, but he didn't feel embarrassed and replied with a smile.

"You're in luck. We recently built a group of dormitories near us. I'll take you over to have a look now."

As he spoke, Dean Guo stood up and took Yang Ning's hand and walked out. The two got into Yang Ning's car. Under the guidance of Dean Guo, a group of people soon arrived at a newly built compound.

"here it is……"

After getting off the car, Yang Ning looked at the three-story blue brick apartment buildings around him. The glass on the red wooden windows sparkled in the sunlight, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Isn't this a special building built specifically for those national treasure-level experts? How can a mere level 10 researcher like him live in it?
"How is it? Isn't this place nice?"

Dean Guo looked up at the surrounding apartment buildings for a while, then turned to look at Yang Ning.

After seeing the shocked expression on his face, Dean Guo's mouth curled up slightly, and he was very satisfied with Yang Ning's reaction.

According to Yang Ning's level, he definitely isn't qualified to live here.

However, the Wudaokou Technical School did not abide by the rules. Relying on the fact that it was Yang Ning's alma mater, they made Yang Ning agree in advance to be a lecturer in their school.

Although it was only a part-time job, it made Dean Guo feel a sense of crisis.

Although Yang Ning's arrangements will not change because of the interception by the Wudaokou Technical School, if Yang Ning has any objections to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it is inevitable that the higher-ups will consider transferring Yang Ning elsewhere.

After all, there are places that are more important than the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

So he applied for this residence on behalf of Yang Ning. The higher authorities also took Yang Ning's special circumstances into consideration and approved the application after some study in order to take care of his life and safety.

What Dean Guo didn't know was that the reason Yang Ning was shocked was not because of how luxurious this place was.

When it comes to luxury, not to mention the various mansions and villas shown on the Internet in the previous life, even the Lou family's house cannot compare to it.

What shocked him was that the people who would live here in the future were all top names in their respective fields.

Those are characters that will appear in textbooks later. Who could have thought that one day, I would live in the same courtyard with them and maybe even become their neighbors?
Although Yang Ning had seen many characters in textbooks, he had never expected to live with them.

At this moment, Yang Ning felt uneasy, but also felt a sense of pride. Even though he couldn't compare to them now, he could live here because of the care from above.

But one day, he will make it legitimate and comfortable for him to live here through his own efforts. Hu Yinghong stood behind the two of them, also looking at the building seriously, with a faint smile on her face.

After all, this is probably the wedding room for her and Yang Ning. Being able to live in an apartment right after getting married is very prestigious in this era.

Dean Guo took the two of them up one of the buildings and stopped at a house on the second floor.

Because the people living here are important talents, there are armed soldiers standing guard at the gate of the courtyard, and there are soldiers patrolling from time to time, so the empty houses are generally not locked.

Dean Guo pushed open the door and let the two in.

The whole house is not big, only 68 square meters, but there is no public area in this 68 square meters. The three bedrooms and one living room are enough for Yang Ning to live in.

The furniture inside has been arranged properly, and the whole house looks simple and warm.

After Hu Yinghong looked around the place inside and out, the delighted expression on her face showed that she was very satisfied with it.

But Yang Ning was a little worried. For such a nice house and furniture, the rent must be expensive.

At this time, no matter who you are, as long as you live in a public housing, you have to pay rent, even the furniture in it has to pay rent every month.

So we often see a leader’s pay slip on TV, and see how much rent is deducted every month.

Yang Ning is only a level 10 researcher. Considering his appetite and daily expenses, his remaining salary might not be enough to pay the rent here.

So he looked at Dean Guo and asked carefully: "Dean Guo, this house is so good, how much rent do I have to pay every month?"

"Haha~" Dean Guo looked at him and asked with a smile: "How is it? Are you satisfied with the house?"

“I am satisfied, but I am afraid I cannot afford it.”

At this time, Hu Yinghong came up and said, "President Guo, this is it."

Upon hearing what Hu Yinghong said, Yang Ning became anxious. It is good here, but don’t let the time come when you can’t pay the rent and end up becoming a deadbeat!

He repeatedly winked at Hu Yinghong, asking her not to be so aggressive.

"Are you sure?" Dean Guo ignored Yang Ning and asked Hu Yinghong with a smile.

"Yes!" Hu Yinghong nodded: "This is it."

After saying that, Hu Yinghong looked at Yang Ning and said, "Don't worry about the rent. Don't forget that I'm here for you."

"Ah?" Yang Ning was stunned upon hearing this. He only knew that Hu Yinghong was arranged by his superiors to take care of him and was assigned to the guard regiment.

But as to the specific level, Yang Ning knew that she had a confidentiality agreement, so he did not ask further.

Judging from her tone, does her salary seem to be very high?

"Is it really possible?" Yang Ning asked again.

"Our combined salary is enough." Hu Yinghong nodded affirmatively.

"Haha~ It seems that Comrade Hu Yinghong has a good sense of confidentiality. However, Comrade Yang Ning is now qualified to know your information. You can speak boldly. There is no need to hide anything when you are together as a couple."

Dean Guo looked at Yang Ning and Hu Yinghong and thought that the two young couple were quite interesting. They were about to get married, but Yang Ning still didn't know how capable his fiancée was.

In fact, Yang Ning and Hu Yinghong can be together, which is the result that he and his superiors want to see. Don't let this little thing affect their relationship.

　I have a lot of things to do today, so I'm a bit rushed. Please forgive me!

　　Thanks to the book friend with the last number 3134 for the monthly ticket support!
　　If you have any opinions, please feel free to raise them. I will make changes if necessary.

　　But please don't make personal attacks and don't involve my family. Now when I see some of the comments, I feel like I'm on the execution ground every time I update. It's so uncomfortable.

　　I don't set any restrictions on speech. After all, everyone reads novels for fun, but I will delete any that are not acceptable.
