Film and Television: Starting from Leading Three Thousand Disciples Ashore
31: If you won't give it to me, I'll take it myself!
Inside the office, Luo Minsheng (-Overheard 2), the housing association's supervisor, was listening to Lu Wendong speak.
"We people who live on the water never eat fish from near the coast. Do you know why?"
Luo Minsheng gave him a questioning look.
Lu Wendong gestured with his two hands to show the shape of a houseboat.
"People who live on the water eat and sleep on their houseboats, spending the vast majority of their lives on them."
"Each houseboat has a separate outhouse at the stern, without a toilet."
"It's like cutting a square opening, and then you relieve yourself there."
Luo Minsheng imagines it; it feels somewhat similar to the dry toilets in the rural New Territories decades ago.
Every ten miles or so, there would be a dry toilet with mud walls and black tiles by the edge of the fields.
When villagers needed to relieve themselves, they would squat by the pit.
Luo Minsheng's expression unconsciously turned serious.
Lu Wendong said, "The ship is very high, and you can often see small sampans swimming underneath."
He smiled.
"There are returning boat people, merchants who come to sell goods, and people who come to sell water."
"However, there are more mudskippers living below."
Lu Wendong's expression gradually deepened: "Nobody wants this, but we have no other choice."
"On the houseboat, there is no electricity, and we can't even afford a toilet."
"Because the water we use is purchased separately."
Lu Wendong sat up slightly and stared at Luo Minsheng.
"This is the current situation."
"We really want our own electricity and our own toilet."
"But you told us that the toilets on the houseboats are also very good."
Lu Wendong's eyebrows stood up like sharp swords.
Luo Minsheng's heart skipped a beat, and the pores on his neck opened one after another.
"Public housing units must be together; they cannot be separated."
Previously, there was a large fire in the southeast of Shek Pai Wan. At that time, the foreigners promised to provide resettlement for the group of boat people who fled by water.
Subsequently, the Housing Society, which is specifically responsible for public housing, was arranged to contact Lu Wendong.
Therefore, Lu Wendong specially treated these people to a meal and also brought Fang Ting and others to drink with them.
Give them plenty of face!
When Luo Minsheng came today, he said in a formulaic way that they could be accommodated, but they had to fill out a form first, and then the Housing Association would arrange for the water people to move in based on the public housing situation in each area.
Procedurally, the Housing Association's arrangements are absolutely without fault!
Lu Wendong said coldly, "Don't tell me about the waiting list for public housing."
"This is an emergency!"
"267 families are living in tents."
"Work and food are both problems!"
"Hygiene and public security are even bigger problems!"
Lu Wendong did not arrange for the boat people in the southeast corner to stay in other Tanka families' homes.
Firstly, each houseboat is too crowded to accommodate any more people.
Forcing acceptance could easily lead to conflict between the two parties.
Secondly, Lu Wendong was well aware of the government's nature.
If they see that they have already settled the Tanka children, they might delay or simply not take it to heart.
Over time, this problem will be passed around like a ball between different departments.
"Little Luo".
Lu Wendong said calmly, "I know you can't make the decision, so you don't need to waste your breath."
Luo Minsheng was speechless. He shifted his body awkwardly, a sheepish smile on his face.
"I'll give you two days to make arrangements."
Lu Wendong said, "Two days!"
"If I don't get a satisfactory answer by the deadline, I can tell you now what will happen."
"I will bring my people directly into these public housing estates in Shek Pai Wan."
"If you won't give it to me, I'll just take it myself!"
Luo Minsheng's expression changed, and he leaned forward, placing both hands on the table.
"President Lu, please think it over."
"Citizens waiting for public housing are now on a five-year waiting list."
"We're trying to help you too."
Lu Wendong extended his right index finger and swung it from side to side.
"Don't give me that nonsense."
"I'm not one of those ordinary citizens. We're in an emergency in Shek Pai Wan right now. Whether you can handle it or not is your business."
"Two days!"
"And I can tell you that definitively."
Lu Wendong sneered: "Two days later, if I go to Shek Pai Wan myself..."
"Not even a single grain of sand can be transported into Ap Lei Chau!"
"please!"
Luo Minsheng could only leave dejectedly.
He finally understood why he had been assigned to communicate with Chairman Lu.
The others probably know that Chairman Lu is difficult to communicate with, so they don't want to come and run into a brick wall.
After waiting outside for a full hour, Chen Ergou was finally able to bring Zhang Xue and her sister inside.
"President."
Chen Ergou excitedly pointed at Zhang Xue: "Xue's water bottle bomb is really something!"
Lu Wendong sized up the two sisters, Zhang Xue and Zhang Yijun.
They look alike, but their temperaments are completely opposite.
"A water bottle bomb?"
"Yes, yes, Chairman..."
Zhang Xue didn't dare to look at Lu Wendong; she lowered her head and looked at her toes.
Her face turned bright red.
Zhang Yijun, standing nearby, realized that her younger sister probably had ulterior motives.
So he could only reply, "President, Ah Xue cares a lot about Shek Pai Wan and admires you very much."
"I also want to do my part for Shek Pai Wan."
Then he talked about the idea of the water bottle bomb.
Lu Wendong understood immediately; it was simply the principle of thermal expansion and contraction.
Chen Ergou, standing nearby, exclaimed excitedly, "President, with this, no matter how many people come from the other side..."
"Throw down a few dozen, and the battle will be over immediately."
Protecting Shek Pai Van is of utmost urgency!
This is the strongest impression that has been in Chen Ergou's mind recently.
He hoped that he could live up to what the chairman said and stand tall with his head held high.
It can allow family members and people living on the water to live the good life they deserve.
"good."
Lu Wendong dared to throw Molotov cocktails, so of course he wouldn't refuse a water bottle bomb.
He then took out a red envelope from the drawer and gestured for Zhang Xue to come forward.
"On behalf of the Fisheries Association and the people of Shek Pai Wan, I thank you for your contributions."
Lu Wendong patted the red envelope in Zhang Xue's palm.
"You did a great job."
A warm current flowed through Zhang Xue's heart, and her beautiful eyes unknowingly became moist.
She mustered her courage and looked straight at Lu Wendong.
"President, I... I want to do something for you."
Zhang Yijun, who was standing behind, had a complicated thought. She bit her lip slightly and her gaze swept back and forth between Lu Wendong and Zhang Xue.
Zhang Yijun left Shipaiwan when she was around ten years old and didn't have a deep impression of Lu Wendong.
Now look at this handsome guy, he has a 50-square-meter office.
He was only wearing simple coarse linen clothes.
His two exposed arms were firm and strong.
Bright light shone in from the back window and fell on the man across the street.
Her cool and aloof face was outlined with deep and three-dimensional contours.
Zhang Yijun's heart was pounding wildly for no reason.
If this man were to wear a sharp suit, he would look like a CEO who had just stepped out of the top floor of the most upscale office building in Central.
No woman has the ability to resist a man like this.
A ripple of emotion stirred in Zhang Yijun's heart.
My sister must have used all her strength.
Her gaze lingered on Zhang Xue's fair calves, where bluish veins were faintly bulging.
"Work for me?"
Two deep gazes were cast upon her, and Zhang Xue couldn't help but lower her head, saying in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "Yes, yes, President."
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Ergou cautiously said, "President, Xue is educated."
"Ah Xue?"
"Yeah yeah…"
Zhang Xue suddenly remembered that after the chairman took office, he forced all the people on the water to learn to read and write, so he must have attached great importance to reading.
She raised her little face and quickly said, "President, I can do math, and I also know English."
"My sister taught me all of that!"
Zhang Yijun then slightly raised her head: "Ah Xue is very smart and can communicate fluently with foreigners."
