Chapter 246: Now that you are rich and powerful, everyone you meet is a good person

After bidding farewell to Qin Huairu, Cao Zhiqiang took his eldest sister Cao Jiajia and officially walked west across the courtyard.

Today, the entire West Cross Courtyard has been bought by Cao Zhiqiang, so just in case, when Cao Zhiqiang had someone renovate it, he specifically asked the master to add a fence gate to the verandah from the middle courtyard to the West Cross Courtyard.

This fence gate is a thumb-thick wrought iron fence. As long as it is locked, ordinary people cannot go to the west courtyard from the central courtyard.

Of course, when this fence gate was originally installed, it could not be said that it was to prevent other people in the courtyard, but because the construction was dangerous and to prevent children from entering.

With such an excuse, some things will make sense.

As for whether to dismantle this door after the construction is completed, we will discuss it later.

Anyway, for something like this, as long as you start and install the door, it will be easy to install but difficult to remove.

In fact, it doesn't matter, after all, the entire Xikuayuan now belongs to Cao Zhiqiang.

So theoretically speaking, Xikuoyuan is Cao Zhiqiang's home.

In this case, it is reasonable to install a door in the verandah leading to the west courtyard.

In fact, Cao Zhiqiang originally wanted to open a door on the west wall of the West Cross Courtyard.

This will be more convenient, as there is no need to go through the courtyard gate when entering and exiting the West Cross Courtyard.

It's a pity that it's really not an ordinary trouble to open a Ximen.

…

To put it simply, as far as the current situation is concerned, if this old courtyard really wants to open a west gate, it will have to go to many departments and find a lot of people, which is not an ordinary trouble.

Cao Zhiqiang thought, if for such a small thing, it is really unnecessary to mobilize troops and go everywhere to find people.

After all, plans are not as fast as changes.

When Cao Zhiqiang first started, he really wanted to make a big change here to make his stay more comfortable.

After all, this is an old-fashioned courtyard house. If it is not renovated, it will be inconvenient.

But the problem is that he no longer lives here.

Since you don't live here anymore, why bother with so much trouble anymore.

As for why we came again today.

This is of course because of Cao Jiajia's relationship.

In fact, as of today, Cao Jiajia has been in the capital for seven days.

Seven days is enough time for Cao Jiajia, her two children, and of course Qinghong's mother to adapt.

During this period, Cao Jiajia, her two children, and Qinghong's mother had been living in Qinghong's house, which was the courtyard house Cao Zhiqiang bought in Houhai.

It was okay at first, but as time went on, Cao Jiajia felt it was inappropriate.

The main reason is that Cao Zhiqiang doesn't live at Qinghong's place recently, and goes back to his "work" every night.

Yes, to avoid embarrassment and for a better job.

Cao Zhiqiang had a large empty office vacated in the office building of Hongguang Publishing House and transformed into a single dormitory.

The office building of Hongguang Publishing House was originally the office building of a glass factory. It was originally quite large and had complete facilities.

After the publishing house was established, although some people were recruited, the number of departments and people was small, and it was impossible to fill those rooms.

In other words, only a very small part of the office building of Hongguang Publishing House is actually used, and most of the rooms are actually empty.

Not only are there many empty rooms, but the area of ​​a single room is also not small.

Because this place itself was used for offices, and the offices in this period were all large offices where many people worked together. The average area of ​​each office was basically more than 60 square meters.

This means that each room has an area of ​​more than 60 square meters and a floor height of more than three meters. It looks quite spacious and will definitely not be depressing.

If the partition wall between the offices is opened and a door is opened inside, it will become a proper suite.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't get through. It's not troublesome to go to the next room through the corridor outside.

In addition, the office building of Hongguang Publishing House has complete water, electricity and heating, except for the lack of gas pipes. There are flushing toilets on every floor, and there are even telephones.

Especially for heating, there are radiators in every room and even in the corridors, and there is a special boiler room on the first floor. The heating pipes are all preserved. You only need to buy a boiler and you can heat yourself in winter.

Well, there used to be a boiler here, but after the glass factory was relocated, the boiler was also moved away.

After all, boilers were quite expensive during this period, and most units were reluctant to keep them.

Let's put it this way, as long as a gas stove is added and a separate bathroom can be used for bathing, the office building of Hongguang Publishing House is actually more livable than many new buildings.

At the very least, the lighting in this kind of building is much better than that in a courtyard house.

As for Cao Zhiqiang, it's not appropriate to go to Qinghong's place, it's not appropriate to go to the two sisters, and it's even less appropriate to go to Jin Xiuying's place.

Finally, after much deliberation, I chose to live in an office building.

For the time being, I just need to clean a slightly better empty office, and then buy everything like a desk, sofa, coffee table, bed, etc., and it will be a good single dormitory.

And Cao Zhiqiang is not alone here, because there is still another person living here, and that is Zhao Shouwen.

Everyone else has a home in the capital and always goes home after work, but Zhao Shouwen is different.

It's not that Zhao Shouwen doesn't have a home in the capital, but that his home is too small and there are too many people, and because he also lives in a large courtyard, there are just as many bad things in it, even worse than the courtyard where Cao Zhiqiang originally lived.

.

Therefore, since Zhao Shouwen started working, he has basically lived in dormitories and would not go home if he could.

Cao Zhiqiang estimated that what Zhao Shouwen said was just an excuse, and it was most likely due to internal family factors.

After coming to Hongguang Publishing House to work, Zhao Shouwen usually lived in Hongguang Publishing House, and he could also visit the house at night, which was quite good.

No matter what, it's nice to have someone to keep you company. At the very least, you won't be so lonely.

However, for safety reasons, both of them were equipped with sticks, whistles and ropes.

To deal with ordinary thieves, these three items are enough.

In fact, since Cao Zhiqiang moved into the office building of Hongguang Publishing House, Chief Zeng originally wanted to send two people from the security department to Cao Zhiqiang to protect Cao Zhiqiang.

Cao Zhiqiang thought it was too much and too eye-catching, so he refused.

In fact, the office building of Hongguang Publishing House is right next to the Hongguang Machinery Factory. The Hongguang Machinery Factory only needs to slightly expand the patrol scope when people patrol outside. Safety issues are not a problem at all.

Instead, two people from the security department were sent to stand guard, which would easily arouse criticism.

After all, Cao Zhiqiang's age and qualifications are both flaws. He is only nineteen years old, and he has been in the factory for less than half a year.

If it weren't for the fact that he was too junior and too young.

Well, when Cao Zhiqiang founded Hongguang Publishing House on his own, he would not appoint an old Zhou Lai as the nominal president and Cao Zhiqiang as the vice president. In fact, this was just to silence others and try not to cause gossip.

.

Don't underestimate qualifications. In this era, the phenomenon of seniority ranking is very serious. Many people still look at qualifications rather than ability.

In short, after Cao Zhiqiang moved to the publishing house, he immediately fell in love with this kind of life.

He usually just reads and records novels in his dormitory, or writes some poems and songs. When he is tired, he goes to the shooting range to masturbate, or drives around for a few laps.

The car Cao Zhiqiang drives is naturally the Citroen CX20.

Originally, Cao Zhiqiang was wondering how Zhang Qianjin and Li Youfu got their driver's licenses.

Later I learned that nowadays, as long as you have a car, it is not difficult to get a driver's license.

Driving licenses in Beijing may be a little more difficult, but driving licenses in other cities are really easy and not complicated.

For example, the driver's licenses of Zhang Qianjin and Li Youfu were both issued from other places.

The so-called test means that you can pass the test if you can drive in a straight line and make turns without hitting obstacles on both sides.

As for the written test, that thing is easier and you can pass it easily.

In short, that is the current driver's license, which is quite difficult for people who have no means.

But for those with the skills, it is quite simple.

Especially for people with formal employers, it is even easier to get a driver's license.

For example, the previous Bangge actually went to work as a driver first, learned to drive from an experienced driver at the company, and then was directly given a driver's license.

In the same way, in Cao Zhiqiang's situation, he doesn't need to go to Director Li. He can just write a note to himself, then write an application, and then he can take the exam directly. He doesn't have to go to a driving school for one or two years like Yang An'an.

car.

Those who go to driving schools to learn how to drive are ordinary people or people from small units.

If people in large state-owned enterprises want to take the driver's license test, they don't need to go to so much trouble. They can just take the test directly by sending a letter from their employer.

Since it is so convenient, of course Cao Zhiqiang cannot miss it.

So he quickly wrote there in the name of Hongguang Publishing House and made an appointment for the nearest driving license test.

Unfortunately, Cao Zhiqiang found out too late. The latest exam will not be until next month, so Cao Zhiqiang can only wait.

However, while waiting for the exam, Cao Zhiqiang can still practice driving on the playground of his home unit.
