Following the instructions of the shop owner, Pang Xiaonan came to a quaint stone house.

Standing in front of this second-story small building made of white marble and blue bricks, Pang Xiaonan couldn't help feeling a little dazed, "Damn, this is the People's Association of Horama City. How come it looks like the foreign building of the landlord's family?"

There is a large wooden sign hanging on the lintel of the big door of the small building with a few big words "Horama Resident Council".

The large characters are vigorous and powerful, and they are not printed at first glance. I don’t know which calligraphy master’s work is.

When you enter the door, there is a white marble threshold. When you cross the threshold, Pang Xiaonan saw that there was a service hall inside. Opposite the door was a row of windows, with several people sitting inside.

Pang Xiaonan casually stepped forward to consult someone. He was a girl in her glasses, looking very much like the eldest sister next door.

"Sister, I would like to ask, I just came to Horama City and I want to find a job. I wonder if you have any introductions here?"

Pang Xiaonan's face was full of smiles, making the mask look so friendly.

"Oh, are you new here? Are you a college student? What major?"

The eldest sister was not angry because others called her eldest sister, but was still very enthusiastic.

"I graduated from the Department of Quantum Mechanics." Pang Xiaonan replied respectfully.

"Director of Quantum Mechanics? This is an unpopular major..." The elder sister held up her glasses and chatted with Pang Xiaonan, "I tell you, do you know I am so professional? I am from the Department of Ancient Literature, and my major is very unpopular. I didn't expect you to be even more unpopular than me..."

Pang Xiaonan interrupted his elder sister's conversation, "Then can't find a job in my major?"

"How is this possible? Let me tell you, there is no major in Horama City that I can't find a job. Look, am I sitting here to work too?" The eldest sister proudly pushed her chest.

"You... are you considered a civil servant?" Pang Xiaonan still didn't know whether this civil society was an official organization or a spontaneous public welfare organization.

"Uh...it's considered a public institution," the eldest sister knocked on her temples, "Look, I almost forgot about this. There's a place for you in the Department of Quantum Mechanics!"

"Where?" Pang Xiaonan couldn't help leaning forward and looked at his elder sister attentively.

"Military factory!" the eldest sister shouted excitedly, "Quantum mechanics should be the right one. Recently, military factories are short of people. You have experienced this degree and have no problem as an engineer? Wait a moment? I'll send you an introduction letter, have you brought the information?"

"I didn't bring it!" Pang Xiaonan spread his hands and said he was helpless.

"It doesn't matter if you don't take it? Just apply for a job by yourself? But it's far away, you have to leave Horama City? Go towards Kuotai Mountain, but don't worry? There are buses on the way? Don't worry, you can definitely apply for the job. If they don't want you, come to me? I'll arrange other jobs for you? But I'm confident that they will definitely not let you go. Now this factory is short of people everywhere, especially talents with high education like you..."

The elder sister's enthusiasm made Pang Xiaonan's pores feel a little comfortable? But he couldn't stand it anymore. It had been half an hour since he knew it? But the elder sister in front of him was still enthusiastic and seemed to be a fire.

"Thank you, sister, then I'll try my luck first."

Pang Xiaonan came out of the People's Congress? He had a certain understanding of this non-governmental organization, and at the same time, he felt that his work was in vain. Originally, these were all aspects that the founder should have thought of.

"Have you gone to the Minhui?" Qian Duoyi expressed curiosity about Pang Xiaonan's whereabouts.

"Yes?" Pang Xiaonan nodded, "I don't know if I don't go. I'm shocked when I go. They have seriously helped us share a lot of things."

"That's right," Qian Duoyi put a cup of tea in front of Pang Xiaonan. "This Minhui is indeed a powerful public welfare organization. If it weren't for it, I wouldn't know how much more I would have to do."

According to Qian Duoyi, the Minhui was the earliest public welfare organization spontaneously established by Khorama immigrants, whose purpose is to help new immigrants live and work in peace and contentment.

The earliest members of the People's Association were all merchants. Because merchants were the most sensitive market animals, they heard that Horama City was opened and immediately realized that it was a promising city, so a group of merchants first came to Horama City.

But at that time, Horama City was in chaos and there was no house that could accommodate too many immigrants. Even the command center lived in the prefabricated house, so it was impossible to build a special building for those merchants who came to the news.

So the group of businessmen found the command center and said that as long as the command center agreed, they could build their own buildings outside the planned red line as a place to live, and at the same time expressed their willingness to help the command center improve various business environments.

When the command center heard that this was a good thing, it was much more convenient than going to invest in the future, so it approved the requirements of merchants to build their own houses, but stipulated restrictions on the area and floors of the building.

All private houses cannot exceed three floors, and each household must not exceed 100 square meters of land. Moreover, they do not have permanent property rights and must cooperate with the developer to carry out demolition at any time.

These conditions were agreed upon by the merchants, and the shanty towns began.

The shanty towns were not shanty towns at the beginning, but rather high-end private housing areas. Merchants transported stone from other places and bought wood from the local area, and built many antique buildings, which looked very similar to the ancient building complexes in ancient China.

This is because the merchants themselves have rich assets. Their arrival is not just for survival. They also need a certain quality of life, so the houses are built with some taste.

However, most of the immigrants behind were poor people. They could not build their own residences according to the financial resources of merchants, so they could only use local materials and use the cheapest materials to build a residence that could shelter from wind and rain. They were already very content.

Therefore, next to the residential area initiated by merchants, the current shanty town was gradually formed.

As the foreign population grows, various disputes will inevitably arise, which will affect the business of merchants. So these merchants spontaneously formed a civil union to resolve conflicts between various households and maintain harmony in the shanty town of Horama City.

The establishment of this civil society association was recognized by the command center, and it indeed helped the command center manage a large part of the residents' affairs, so the civil society association also received support from the police station and the city defense force. If there is any act of shanty towns that do not listen to the civil society's mediation, the police station will come forward to settle the matter.

As the development of Horama City becomes faster and faster and more formal, the role of the Minhui Association is becoming more and more obvious. Now, when all new immigrants come to Horama City, the first thing they look for is not the city hall, but the Minhui Association.

"Then you might as well move the People's Association into the City Hall." When Pang Xiaonan heard that the People's Association was so awesome, what else should the government do?

"That won't work," Qian Duoyi shook his head, "the things that the people will deal with are mainly conflicts between the small citizens in the shantytowns. The main body of our Horama City is the elite group of the old city. If the people will dominate, it will be out of place with our original intention."

Pang Xiaonan nodded, "Okay, I'm here today, mainly because there is one thing I want to ask you to implement it."

"Mr. Pang is instructed."

"It's like this. The current environment of shanty towns is too poor. I think there will be great hidden dangers in the future. I would like to ask the command center to plan and build a better residential community for these working people at the bottom to live in, and then demolish the current shanty towns."

Pang Xiaonan felt that this matter was urgent, mainly because Horama City was originally a mountainous area, and the shanty town was leaning against the mountain. If there was a fire, it would be really out of control.

"Mr. Pang means to build a low-rent house?" Qian Duoyi understood the meaning of Pang Xiaonan as soon as he heard it.

"That's what it means, is it feasible?" Pang Xiaonan picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.

"It's feasible, but we have been planning this plan for a long time, but we really don't have time now."

Qian Duoyi was a little embarrassed, "You also know that there are so many unfinished projects in our and Hai Group."

"If Hehai Group is too busy, it can introduce foreign capital."

Pang Xiaonan made a motion.

"Well, your method is indeed feasible, but you have to ask Mr. Pang to propose it to the group board of directors. If the board of directors passes it, I can implement it."

"no problem."

When Pang Xiaonan Lawang was launched, he agreed that the development of Horama City would be implemented by Hehai Group, but it was obvious that Hehai Group's pace was a bit slow. At this time, new developers must be introduced.

According to Pang Xiaonan's understanding, the first president of the Minhui Association was a construction company. The earliest commercial residential area was contracted by him. There are now ready-made community developers in Horama City.

The president of the Minsheng Association is named Tebacheng. The current Minsheng Association office is his original residence. With the recommendation of Qian Duoyi, Pang Xiaonan met this business representative who serves the people.

Tebacheng looked very capable in dressing up in Tang suit. He invited Pang Xiaonan to dinner at the largest hotel in Horama City. He originally had to accompany him for money, but seeing that he had so much trouble, Pang Xiaonan did not let him come.

The guest and host took the seat, Te Bai Cheng made some polite comments, but Pang Xiaonan went straight to the topic, "President Te Bai Cheng, I understand from the side that you are also in the construction industry, right?"

Tebacheng nodded with a smile and said, "To be honest, when I first came to Horama City, I was planning to participate in the construction of Horama City as a construction merchant. However, at that time, Lao Qian, the commander, told me that all the construction projects in Horama City are now belong to Hehai Group, so I felt particularly frustrated at that time."

"Why did you choose to come to Horama City to do construction? Don't other big cities have better prospects?" Pang Xiaonan wanted to hear professional opinions on the construction of Horama City.

"The competition in big cities is too fierce. I retreated from the construction market in big cities. At that time, I owed a lot of debts..." Tebacheng shook his head with a wry smile, "The past is unbearable to look back on. Fortunately, Lao Qian later gave me some auxiliary projects, otherwise I would really have my family destroyed."

"It won't be that miserable, right?"

Pang Xiaonan looked at Te Bocheng who looked like a man in front of him, and couldn't believe the embarrassment he mentioned at that time.

"Isn't that miserable?"

The Horama Hotel is a multi-functional hotel built by Hehai Group in accordance with five-star standards that integrates business banquets, accommodation, leisure and entertainment. Tebocheng hosted Pang Xiaonan’s private room today. It is a standard mini private room, which is convenient for two or three to talk about things.

Tebocheng cleared all the waiters and made tea for Pang Xiaonan himself.

"It was because I was helpless when I came that I contacted several businessmen who were sympathetic to establish a resident council in order to help new immigrants who were just like us."

"President Tebocheng is really a noble character." Pang Xiaonan bowed to Tebocheng.

Judging from Te Bocheng's dress, I believe this person also knows some things in the world.

"Chairman Pang has been awarded for the award. This is what I should do. When I was most helpless, Horama took me in and saved me. Then I should repay the society and help Horama build people's livelihood."

Tebocheng's words were very sincere, but it made people feel that some clichés were still not completely washed away from the merchant's dew.

"There is such a situation now. I would like to ask you, President, if you are interested in participating?"

Pang Xiaonan took the tea bowl brought by Te Bocheng without hesitation.

"Pang, please say that as long as I can, I have no choice but to define it."

Pang Xiaonan explained the current situation of the shanty town to Te Baicheng, and finally gave a solution, "I want to renovate the shanty town. Now all the illegal buildings are demolished, and then the official will come forward to build a unified residential community, that is, low-rent housing, and rent it to the lower-level people of Horama. What do you think?"

"The Chairman is such a good suggestion!" As soon as Tebocheng heard this, he raised a thumbs up sensitively. "In fact, this situation should have been changed long ago. Every time I walk through the dirty and messy street, I wonder why Horama develops so fast, but the environment in the shanty towns is getting worse and worse. This shows that our People's Association has great potential for work."

"No, no, it's not your People's Association's business," Pang Xiaonan did not shirk responsibility this time. "It's all my poor care. I, the manager, have been a waste of time and have not solved your people's livelihood, which has caused such an embarrassing situation."

"The Chairman is serious," Tebocheng quickly took the blame on himself. "After all, our people will not keep pace with the times. If this problem continues to develop, it will be out of control in the future. Fortunately, the Chairman noticed it in time, so we can now target our target."

"I just made the suggestion, President, do you have any more?"

Pang Xiaonan thinks it is better to talk about some practical things.

"What the Chairman said is already very perfect. To be honest, I thought so before, but Lao Qian was very busy at that time and he didn't have the energy to take care of this. But now that the Chairman has taken office, I will definitely cooperate with the Chairman to implement this matter."

Tebocheng did not propose to contract the project throughout the whole process, but he had already put Pang Xiaonan in the air and could not get out.

Seeing that Tebocheng was delayed in expressing his opinion, Pang Xiaonan did not beat around the bush. "Since that is the case, I think you also know that Hehai Group cannot take action to carry out this shantytown renovation project now. I think it will be handed over to you. You are fully responsible for the planning of the renovation project and the construction of the demolition project. Our Horama City Council fully supports it."

Tebocheng's eyes suddenly shone, his head lowered slightly, and said loyally, "Please rest assured, Chairman, I will definitely live up to my mission."

Pang Xiaonan felt it was necessary to emphasize, "President Tebocheng, I would like to emphasize that this shanty town renovation project is a people's livelihood that benefits the present and will last forever. I give it to you, because it values ​​your sense of social responsibility, but I hope that you will not make huge profits from it and let the people live a hard life."

Tebocheng quickly bowed and said, "Chairman, don't worry, I, Tebocheng, are also from a poor man. I know the sufferings of the people. If you leave this project to me, you can respect my character and give me a huge opportunity to do something good for the people of Horama."

"I have to do this project well, not to mention not making money, even if I lose money, I have to do it well!"
