“How do we obtain long-term residency in Jiangcheng?”
“It’s very simple, buy it with points!”
“Didn’t I tell you earlier? As long as we have enough material allocation coupons, we can definitely stay.”
Tang Li wasn't worried about Tang Guo's predicament.
Hearing Tang Li's words, Tang Guo asked doubtfully, "But, doesn't Jiangcheng's officialdom seem to have no policy for selling long-term residency?”
Upon hearing this, Tang Li poked Tang Guo’s forehead with her index finger.
She said helplessly, “Guo Guo Jie, are you silly?”
“How would the officials sell residency permits?”
“I mean, buy surplus residency slots from those who qualify!”
Although Tang Li had never been to Jiangcheng in her previous life, the relevant policies were similar across different places.
After living in the apocalypse for several years, Tang Li had heard about underground city residency policies.
Upon arriving in Jiangcheng, Tang Li discovered that Jiangcheng's current residency policy was very similar to the underground city residency policies she heard about in her previous life, and even more lenient.
For talents like ordinary skilled workers, who were not scarce in the apocalypse, they could obtain an additional two residency slots to reside in Jiangcheng. In her previous life, they could only reside in the underground city themselves, without any extra slots.
For scarcer talents like researchers, medical personnel, and nurses, they could obtain an additional three to nine residency slots to reside in Jiangcheng.
Those with prestige, such as experts and professors, could obtain even more residency slots through special approval.
These slots could certainly be given to their relatives, friends, disciples, and old acquaintances.
However, if they were sold in exchange for material allocation coupons, no one would investigate.
“Right! Why didn’t I think of that?”
“We can’t obtain Jiangcheng residency through the specific talent assessment, but we can buy residency slots from those who have obtained them!”
Tang Guo had misunderstood before, thinking that Jiangcheng residency could only be obtained through official channels, and didn't expect private transactions.
Upon hearing Tang Li's words, she finally realized.
But then she started to worry again, “But where can we buy residency slots?”
“Even those with surplus residency slots who want to exchange them for points wouldn’t dare to openly sell them, right?”
Tang Li smiled and said, “This is why I chose to stay in such an expensive suite!”
The suite Tang Li chose cost 100 points per day, about 3,000 points per month.
At 3,000 points, even in the situation of housing shortages after the major earthquake, one could rent a small independent residence for a month.
This showed how expensive the suite was.
That's why Tang Guo had wanted to open a single room for herself and have Tang Li stay in a smaller suite.
The reason Tang Li chose such an expensive suite was to facilitate the purchase of Jiangcheng residency slots.
That's why Tang Li had told Tang Guo at the time that if she wanted to stay in Jiangcheng, she should listen to her.
Just as Tang Guo was about to ask Tang Li for the specific reason, there was a knock on the door.
“Excuse me, do you need the room cleaned?” httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
When the door opened, an auntie in a trading exchange uniform stood at the door, smiling and asking.
“Yes, please come in, Auntie.”
Tang Li stepped forward first and let the auntie in before Tang Guo could refuse.
This cleaning auntie was the one she had called in advance.
Tang Guo cast a confused look at Tang Li.
Although it didn't cost extra points to have the trading exchange's cleaning auntie clean the room, she had already cleaned the room very well and didn't need the auntie to clean it again.
But at Tang Li's signal, Tang Guo did not voice her doubts.
As the cleaning auntie entered Tang Li's room to make the bed, Tang Li began to speak.
“Where should we buy residency slots from those who have surplus ones?”
“If they come to us, we don't know if they are trustworthy. Even if they sell one slot to several people, we can’t do anything but be cheated out of our points.”
“If we go out to look for them ourselves, we are afraid that others won’t believe we have the ability to buy. If someone reports us to the officials, it will be difficult for us to buy residency slots again.”
Seeing Tang Li saying this deliberately, Tang Guo seemed to understand something.
As expected, as soon as Tang Li finished speaking, the cleaning auntie in the room said, “Two young ladies, if you want to buy residency slots, look for me!”
Hearing this, Tang Li’s lips curled into a smile.
Tang Guo, seeing this, also gave Tang Li a thumbs-up.
