Chapter 186 New House
"Not yet." Xu Qiang said with a frown.

"What do you mean by no? It's already this time! You tell me no!?" Upon hearing Xu Qiang's answer, Liu Biao almost jumped up from his chair.

"I've said it before. Without professional equipment, I can't develop new products." Xu Qiang said helplessly, "The threshold for military product development is getting higher and higher. What could be done with millet and rifles in the past may not be done with airplanes and cannons now. There's nothing I can do about it..."

"You are the only one who has so many excuses!" Liu Biao couldn't refute what Xu Qiang said. After all, Xu Qiang did say so at the beginning. So after calming down, he said, "Let me tell you, our Chief Engineer Li is working overtime every day. The whole factory is watching you two. You should do the same. Don't show off every day. Even if you can't get things done, you should show your attitude!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Director Liu is right!" Xu Qiang nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and said, "I will work hard."

Xu Qiang naturally understood what Liu Biao meant. To put it bluntly, he wanted him to keep a low profile. After all, the factory was so small, and Xu Qiang riding a motorcycle did seem a bit ostentatious, totally unlike the steady image that a model worker should have.

But Xu Qiang didn't care about it. He bought the motorcycle for the convenience of traveling and to help Wang Yongsheng expand his business outside, so he must ride it often.

"Have you finished the application to join the party that I asked you to write?" Liu Biao asked.

"It has been written long ago." Upon hearing this, Xu Qiang quickly took out a prepared application for joining the party from his pocket, and then respectfully handed it to Liu Biao with both hands.

"Yeah." Seeing this, Liu Biao nodded with satisfaction, then looked at it carefully.

After just a quick glance, Liu Biao's expression relaxed.

"Your handwriting is good, and this application is also quite literary..." Liu Biao looked up at Xu Qiang and said, "It seems that you are quite talented. How come you only have a junior high school diploma?"

"There's no one at home to farm. My father is still working in the factory, so my mother can only rely on me." Xu Qiang made an excuse.

In fact, Xu Qiang was very good at writing official documents. In his previous life, he had been writing very good essays since elementary school and had even participated in the city's essay competition. Unexpectedly, he ended up studying science.

"Okay, I'll keep this application for joining the party for you." After a moment, Liu Biao put the application for joining the party into the drawer, then took out a key from it and said, "Xu Qiang, you have to understand that I have high expectations for you. Our factory needs innovative talents like you. Your future is also firmly tied to this factory. If the factory is good, you can have a better future. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand. I will definitely live up to my leader's expectations of me." Xu Qiang said quickly.

"This is for you..." Liu Biao threw the bunch of keys in his hand to Xu Qiang.

"This is……"

"No. 6, Unit 2, Building , New Community, your new house." Liu Biao smiled slightly and continued, "As the factory director, I cannot privately allocate houses to workers, but it is no problem to pick a good house for the model worker. It's on the second floor with a middle door, two bedrooms and a living room, all facing the sun, but it will be a little hot in the summer..."

"Thank you, Director!" Xu Qiang was immediately delighted when he heard that, and then bowed to Liu Biao.

Liu Biao's tactic is to use both soft and hard tactics. When he asks you to work, he is more like Huang Shiren than Huang Shiren, but when he gives you benefits, he is more like Song Jiang than Song Jiang.

But it must be said that Liu Biao's ability to manage people is indeed very strong. No matter what kind of people are in the factory, he can manage them obediently. This is definitely not just because he is the factory director, there is also some wisdom in it.

"From now on, just work hard. If you make achievements, the factory will not treat you unfairly. Even if you don't fight for it, I will fight for it for you. In addition, although our factory has some idlers, I definitely won't support idlers like you!" Liu Biao glanced at Xu Qiang and continued, "Last time, you also promised the guesthouse, and I also said a lot of good things for you. If you make me lose face this time, you won't have a good life!"

"Director Liu, don't worry. As long as the chemical laboratory is completed, I guarantee that we will come up with new products on time!" Xu Qiang said confidently.

The same words spoken by different people have completely different meanings.

Although Liu Biao's words were obviously threatening, to Xu Qiang, they were completely reasonable. He even felt that this was a kind of encouragement from Liu Biao.

"Okay, you can go." Liu Biao waved his hand, indicating that Xu Qiang could leave.

"Then I'll leave." The next moment, Xu Qiang got up and left Liu Biao's office.

Holding the key to the new house, Xu Qiang was overjoyed.

Although he knew that the factory would be relocated in two years, he had already wanted to move into a new house anyway.

The living conditions in the Xialiu area where he now lives are quite simple. The room is less than ten square meters, which is only enough for a bed and a table. He can only cook in the corridor, and even go to the public toilet in the hallway to use the toilet. This makes Xu Qiang, who is used to the life in his previous life, very uncomfortable.

With a new house, at least there is an independent bathroom, you can cook at home, the environment in the community will be much better, and the quality of life can be said to have been improved by several levels.

After get off work that night, Xu Qiang called Wang Yongsheng and others to celebrate his allocation of a new house.

"Brothers, I called you here today for just one thing."

After everyone was in place, Xu Qiang took out the key to his new house from his pocket, waved it in front of everyone, and said, "My model worker house has been delivered. Here are the keys. Director Liu personally picked the house for me. It's on the second floor, in the middle, facing the sun!" "Oh my god! That's amazing!"

"Brother Qiang is awesome. We've separated into separate rooms so quickly. I can go to your house to play cards when it's cold in the future."

For a moment, everyone present was excited.

Everyone was quite envious of Xu Qiang's housing allocation, but despite their envy, they still believed that Xu Qiang deserved it.

After spending some time together, Xu Qiang gradually became the core figure of this group, and everyone, including Wang Yongsheng, was quite impressed by Xu Qiang.

"Tou Liu is really good to you. No wonder everyone in the factory says that you are a big shot in the eyes of the factory director. He really dares to give you such benefits." Wang Yongsheng also said with a smile at this time.

"Director Liu has nothing to say about our Brother Qiang, but this is also earned by our Brother Qiang with his own ability. He has to give it to him even if he doesn't want to. Otherwise, who will be scrambling for the title of model worker in the future? In my opinion, this is what he should do." said Little Cannon.

"Yes, that's right. That's what we should do." Upon hearing this, others also echoed.

"Director Liu is good to me, I will definitely remember him, and not just him, I will remember anyone who is good to me!" Xu Qiang raised his eyebrows and continued, "All of us should be considerate of each other, and there is no need to play tricks or have any small thoughts. Everyone can see that it is fate that I can know you all, and that we can get along so well, which shows that we are all the same kind of people. In fact, my idea is very simple, that is, when I make a lot of money in the future, I will also let my brothers make money. What is communism? We are communism!"

Xu Qiang and Wang Yongsheng have been hanging out with this group for a long time, and they have figured out their tone of voice and temperament. With his eloquence, he can naturally mobilize everyone's emotions easily.

"Hahaha! You're right! Cheers to our communism!" Wang Yongsheng raised his glass with a smile upon hearing that.

The next moment, everyone clinked their glasses and drank them all in one gulp.

"I'm going to move tomorrow, and I may need your help then." Xu Qiang said after putting down his wine glass.

"No problem, we'll all go!" said Wang Yongsheng.

"Brother Qiang, do you need a car? My dad is very familiar with the people in the factory's transportation team."

"I just have a steel pipe bed and a quilt. Do you think I need a car?" Xu Qiang said with a smile.

"Hahaha, we have to use a truck to move it!" Wang Yongsheng laughed and said, "Even if it's just a pillow, we have to use a truck to move it. We don't care about the substance, we care about the face!"

"Don't be like this. The factory director just talked to me today and asked me to keep a low profile in the factory in the future..." Xu Qiang said.

"Keep a low profile, that's no problem, just wait and see tomorrow." Wang Yongsheng said.

"Okay, then come over at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, I'll be waiting for you." Xu Qiang said.

"no problem!"

Afterwards, everyone toasted each other again, and the atmosphere reached a climax again...

……

The next day was Sunday. The families of the employees in the Xialiu living area had just gotten up when they heard the roar of a locomotive in the yard.

I saw Wang Yongsheng and others riding Xu Qiang's two motorcycles, and later a Jiefang truck with a bunch of firecrackers and double-kick firecrackers on it.

Seeing this scene, almost everyone came out of the house and looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

At the same time, Xu Qiang also walked out of the house. When he saw Wang Yongsheng and others below, he was stunned for a moment, then waved to them.

Xu Qiang should have guessed long ago that it was impossible to ask these guys to keep a low profile, because in their view, if you are not hot-tempered, you are not young!
The next moment, Xiao Gangpao and others jumped off the truck, went straight to the second floor, and came to the house where Xu Qiang was.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Xu Qiang's iron bed, along with the bedding on it, as well as the washbasin and other things in the room, were lifted out of the house and finally placed on the Jiefang truck.

"Bang bang bang!"

Before anyone could come to their senses, as 10,000 'Red Earth' firecrackers were lit, the deafening sound of firecrackers resounded throughout the community.

Xu Qiang rode a scooter with Wang Yongsheng sitting in the cart. Both of them wore sunglasses and stepped on the accelerator to the maximum, speeding towards the new house...
