Chapter 186 Habitual Blame-Shifting



The machinery factory originally had three deputy directors, who were in charge of logistics, business, and administration respectively. However, after the factory stopped production in the past two years, the deputy directors in charge of business and administration have reached retirement age one after another. The State-owned Assets Bureau originally wanted to appoint at least one more deputy director, but now everyone knows that the machinery factory is going to collapse, so no one is willing to come. As a result, Wu Jingzhong is the only deputy director left.

After being turned away in Bao Youwei's office, Yuan Fangguo sighed to himself that he might not really understand these things. Generally speaking, these matters are handled by the deputy first, and no one would go to the boss right away.

Fortunately, a cleaning lady appeared in the corridor. Yuan Fangguo quickly asked who was the deputy director in charge of logistics. The cleaning lady told him that there was only one deputy director in the factory, Wu Jingzhong.

Now Yuan Fangguo felt that he could not be wrong. After calming himself down, he came to the door of Wu Jingzhong's office.

Similarly, Wu Jingzhong's office door was ajar. Hearing someone talking inside, he didn't go in for a while.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, a young man came out with a dejected look on his face. Judging from the faint sounds coming from inside, it seemed that the young man had been scolded.

"Is Deputy Director Wu here?" Yuan Fangguo asked in a low voice.

The young man nodded reluctantly, and Wu Jingzhong's voice was heard from inside.

"Who is it?"

Yuan Fangguo knocked on the door gently, then pushed it open and walked in.

"Hello, Deputy Director Wu."

"Oh, isn't this Mr. Yuan? Mr. Yuan is truly an honored guest." Wu Jingzhong quickly stood up and motioned him to sit on the sofa in the reception room.

"No, no, I'm mainly afraid that the leaders are busy, so I haven't dared to come." Yuan Fangguo said with a smile.

"There's nothing busy about our factory. It's going to be restructured soon." Wu Jingzhong said with a self-deprecating look on his face. He took out a pack of cigarettes and prepared to throw one to Yuan Fangguo.

"Sorry, I don't know how to smoke." Yuan Fangguo declined politely.

"Good habit." Wu Jingzhong didn't care about anything else and started smoking.

"The reason I'm sorry to bother you this time is mainly about the land issue in the factory park." Yuan Fangguo said with a smile.

"Land," Wu Jingzhong said with a chuckle, "This is indeed something I, as the head of logistics, should be in charge of, but I can't make the decision right now."

Wu Jingzhong could not make the decision, and Yuan Fangguo had been prepared for this. Not to mention Wu Jingzhong, perhaps even Bao Youwei could not have the final say now. The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission was currently keeping an eye on their Hongqi Factory. Previously, the hospital was not included in the assets of Hongqi Factory, otherwise, they would not dare to sell it even if they had a hundred guts. In recent years, a large number of people have been dealt with in various places for illegally selling state-owned assets, and many people have also become rich.

Bao Youwei and his family were distressed, regretting that they had not dealt with some of the things that needed to be dealt with before the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission liquidated the assets. Now they were given the title of factory director of a "clean office".

"This is definitely something the Party Committee needs to study, so please bring it up." Yuan Fangguo said with a smile.

"This is indeed a matter for the Party Committee to study, but our current number of Party Committee members does not seem to meet the legal number, so this meeting may not be able to be held." Wu Jingzhong said with embarrassment.

Yuan Fangguo also understood the meaning of his words. When Wu Jingzhong said this, he used some vague words such as "seems" and "maybe".

Yuan Fangguo also understood what he meant. "Director Wu, if we can get the park off the ground as soon as possible, the employees in the factory will definitely thank you and your current Party Committee, and I will thank you very much as well."

Wu Jingzhong chuckled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. "Well, we also want to do practical things for the employees. How about this? Why don't you go back first? I'll report to the factory director and see what he thinks. If the number of members in the Party Committee really doesn't meet the legal requirements, then we really can't hold the meeting."

"Director Wu, it's not easy for me to come all this way here. Could you please help me talk to the director right now?"

"He didn't go to work today." Wu Jingzhong said with a relaxed look.

Yuan Fangguo said patiently, "When I walked into the office building just now, I saw the factory director coming up."

"Really?" Wu Jingzhong was surprised. He called me yesterday and said he was going to see a prostate doctor today. I thought he really wouldn't come and probably went to the staff hospital.

When mentioning the hospital, Wu Jingzhong deliberately raised his voice, and at the same time still called the current Dongjin Hospital the Staff Hospital. His implication was very clear: don't be so proud, kid, it's just a dowry for the machinery factory, and this hospital will be taken back sooner or later.

"Yes, I can guarantee it." Yuan Fangguo said with a smile.

"Okay, sit there. I'll go to his office now." Wu Jingzhong said and got up to leave.

Wu Jingzhong didn't treat him as a guest at all and didn't even make tea for him. Yuan Fangguo had no choice but to look around the entire office.

The office was luxuriously decorated, with desks and chairs made of solid wood. A national flag was planted on the large desk, and several group photos were placed on the bookshelf behind him. Yuan Fangguo didn't look closely, but after thinking about it, he understood a little bit. Those group photos must be photos of Wu Jingzhong with some leaders or capable people. He used these photos to show his connections.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Wu Jingzhong walked in calmly.

"Sorry, Mr. Yuan, there's a visitor in the factory director's office. I guess they're here to discuss something. We already talked to that guy last time. How about you come back this afternoon?"

Yuan Fangguo nodded and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to trouble Director Wu."

"No, no, I'll take you there." Wu Jingzhong said with a smile.

Bao Youwei's office and Wu Jingzhong's office were on the left and right sides of the stairs. Yuan Fangguo would not pass by there when going downstairs. After being turned away in the morning, he was furious and even walked in a hurry.

However, not long after leaving the office building, his pace slowed down, and he walked to the newsstand leisurely.

At the newsstand, the old director was no longer there, but Uncle Scar appeared there, his eyes fixed on the lead type on the newspaper, not missing a single word.

"Senior." Yuan Fangguo greeted the uncle with scar.

Uncle Scar quickly raised his head and found that it was Yuan Fangguo.

"Hello, Mr. Yuan."

"Reading the newspaper?"

"Yes, I finally heard that today's newspaper was changed, but it turned out to be last week's." Uncle Scar said helplessly.

"The old director just told me about this problem. The hospital will solve it."

"By the way, Mr. Yuan, what are you doing here? Are you here to talk about something related to the park?"
