I can upgrade the shelter-Chapter 831 - 729: Insider Information

The news of the expansion of the new district spread quickly throughout the new city as the construction began, becoming well-known to everyone.

This was unavoidable, after all, the new district was breaking ground right next to the Dome City, making it difficult for the people of the new city to remain unaware.

This news caused quite a stir among the residents of the new city, as almost everyone was discussing whether they would have a chance to get a good house in the new district.

This is a very practical topic.

In the new city, only those who had moved in initially had relatively good living conditions, with adequate living space and relatively good facilities.

Later, due to the need to quickly accommodate a large population, most houses were mainly prefabricated houses or quickly built communal buildings. Although they were inhabitable, the living conditions were not entirely satisfactory.

In some worse-off areas, the living conditions were even more severe than the previous underground shelters.

However, given the special circumstances at the time, just having a place to stay was a blessing, and people couldn’t demand more.

Now, with the imminent expansion of the new district, it is clear that a batch of new residences will be built, and these homes will be used to accommodate the surplus population from the new city, which undoubtedly gives the citizens of the new city great expectations. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Many people fantasize about moving out of their current places and into spacious and bright houses.

But clearly, even with the expansion of the new district, only a portion of people can move there since the new district is just to accommodate the surplus population, not to relocate everyone in the new city again.

In fact, the area of the new district is about one-fourth of the new city, designed to accommodate a population of 40,000.

Besides residential facilities, the entire new district will also build related supporting facilities to ensure the needs of the residents’ lives.

"What? The new district can only accommodate 40,000 people?" a researcher exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this from a friend involved in the project.

This researcher’s friend was a designer who had been involved in the design of the Dome City at the Research Center and recently returned to participate in the construction of the new district.

Knowing that his friend was involved in the construction of the new district, the researcher naturally sought to gather some inside information from him.

"Yes, the design is for a small dome, accommodating 40,000 people while ensuring the living needs of the inhabitants, so the new district isn’t as ideal as you think. The houses will be relatively dense, but the supporting facilities will be more comprehensive. On the whole, it’s more comfortable than living in the prefabricated houses in the new city," the designer explained, not too concerned about whether he could live in the new district, as he knew the details.

However, the researcher was clearly eager for a house in the new district. Currently, he lives with his parents and family in a 50-square-meter space, which is inconvenient for four people, including himself, his parents, and a younger sister.

Moreover, he was planning to marry his girlfriend, with whom he had a pre-disaster marriage agreement, so he hoped to take this opportunity to move out and live with his beloved girlfriend.

"What kind of houses are there in the new district? Are there any criteria for allocation? If there are any insider tips, do share!" the researcher inquired, believing that since the designer was involved in the project, he must know some inside information.

Hearing the researcher’s question, the designer grinned: "Insider information? Of course, you want to know?"

The researcher and the designer were college roommates for four years, though not in the same major, so they naturally understood each other’s personalities.

Seeing the designer’s grin, the researcher immediately guessed his intention, quickly saying: "Come on, tell me! At worst, I’ll treat you to dinner later!"

"Deal! You owe me a dinner then!" For the designer, scoring a dinner was undoubtedly delightful. He laughed happily and whispered to the researcher: "The houses in the new district are generally divided into three sizes: 70, 50, and 30 square meters. 70 square meters are for married families with two or more children, 50 square meters for those with only one child, and 30 square meters for married childless couples.

If you want to apply for a house in the new district, I suggest you and your girlfriend quickly register your marriage at the civil affairs department, otherwise, you can’t apply for the houses there as a single person."

"Is this information reliable?" the researcher asked skeptically, unable to provide evidence to question it, but needing reassurance from the designer.

The designer confidently patted his chest, assuring him: "Trust me, what I’m saying is in the design requirements. The 30-square-meter units will have a living room and bedroom, considering the couple’s living situation, with standard kitchen and bathroom spaces.

Furthermore, kindergartens and schools will be built in the new district, prepared for married families. If it were for singles, there wouldn’t be a need to design these.

If you really want to apply for a house in the new district, registering your marriage with your girlfriend is definitely right! When applying, just explain it’s for newlyweds needing a marriage house, and you’ll surely get approval!"

Convinced by the designer’s assured words, the researcher hesitated momentarily before making a firm decision. He nodded resolutely and said, "Fine, I’ll take time off this afternoon and go register my marriage with Xiaohui! If it works out, I’ll be grateful to you for life!"

"Grateful for life is a bit much, just treat me to a good meal," the designer chuckled, seeing his friend make a decision, not taking advantage but happily reminding him to keep his promise.

"Deal! Xiaohui and I will treat you to the best meal!" the researcher agreed, nodding heavily before rushing off to request leave.

As the researcher ran off, the designer felt a deep sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, knowing he had facilitated a friend’s happiness and union.

He had long observed the researcher delaying his marriage plans for various reasons, feeling anxious about the situation. This time, he finally provided the needed push, feeling a true sense of accomplishment.

Yet, as he rejoiced, he suddenly heard someone say, "Helping friends is great, but don’t forget the confidentiality rules!"

Startled, the designer turned back to see Chen Xin and Director Tang standing behind him. He quickly greeted them: "Academician Chen! Director Tang! I..."

He was about to explain when Chen Xin waved him off, signaling not to worry: "I understand helping a friend, but confidentiality rules still need to be followed. Don’t disclose what shouldn’t be shared, and let’s leave it at this, but remind your friend to keep it confidential."
