Just when Yuan Fangguo and his team were ready to start construction on the park, the head of the Hongqi Machinery Factory suddenly changed.
Wen Chunlai and other retired factory leaders of the older generation were completely unaware of this. On the second day after the decision was announced, the leaders of the Municipal State-owned Assets Bureau convened a meeting of the retired factory leaders and announced this important decision.
Bao Youwei was transferred and the factory director was replaced by the former deputy director Wu Jingzhong.
Soon, the news that Wu Jingzhong had become the head of the machinery factory spread throughout the factory in less than an hour. Without exception, everyone who knew Wu Jingzhong started to curse him behind his back.
The old director and Uncle Scar have always been at odds with Wu Jingzhong. In their opinion, they originally thought that Wu Jingzhong would become more high-profile after becoming the factory director, but this time they were wrong. After Wu Jingzhong became the factory director, he even stopped taking the factory car to and from get off work. Instead, he bought a 28-inch heavy bicycle and started riding the bicycle to and from get off work.
This made everyone a little puzzled. Wu Jingzhong had been cheating his employees for his own benefit for many years. Originally, everyone thought that after becoming the factory director, he would become even more aggressive and abuse his power, but who would have thought that this time he would become extremely low-key.
Even when Wu Jingzhong met his former enemies like the old director and Uncle Scar, he would greet them with a smile.
The old director, like the old secretary, was kind-hearted and soft-hearted. When he saw Wu Jingzhong taking the initiative to greet them, he thought in his heart that he would ignore him, but after meeting him, he couldn't help but greeted him.
Uncle Scar was still very stubborn. Several times when he passed by Wu Jingzhong, when Wu Jingzhong greeted him, he pretended not to hear. Instead, he snorted arrogantly and walked past with a swagger.
After seeing this scene, Wu Jingzhong just smiled and didn't say anything else.
…
The construction of the park began on an auspicious day. Roosters were killed, firecrackers were set off... and the whole construction site was bustling with activity. This scene even attracted many farmers from the surrounding areas to come and watch. Those who didn't know thought they were doing archaeology. When they learned that a park was going to be built in this place, many farmers began to laugh in their hearts, thinking that the boss who invested in this park was a fool.
After the lively groundbreaking ceremony began, hundreds of veteran workers brandished shovels, pickaxes and hoes and began to work in a mighty manner.
This piece of land originally had many stone forests and caves, and the natural terrain foundation was quite good. The old director directed several old workers who could read blueprints, and each of them was responsible for a part of the construction. Uncle Scar took several guys in the factory who had the same stubborn ideas as him to start patrolling and supervising.
"Why is this ditch so shallow?" Uncle Scar was right, and it would be difficult to convince him unless solid evidence was presented.
"It's almost okay. We can walk up anyway." An old worker said with a playful smile.
The scarred uncle said with a dark face, "That won't work. We must follow the blueprints. These quantities of work have a price. We signed a lump sum contract with Mr. Yuan. If you arbitrarily reduce the quantity of work, wouldn't that be equivalent to taking advantage of Mr. Yuan? There's nothing wrong with having a son, but we can't do it."
When the old worker heard what Scar's uncle said, his face turned green with anger, but he couldn't find a place to vent his anger, so he could only dig deeper according to the blueprint with a furious look on his face.
After a whole morning, Uncle Scar discovered that the work volume had been reduced in several places. He pointed it out bluntly and recorded them one by one to check whether they had made any corrections.
Perhaps because he felt a sense of accomplishment in discovering the problem, in the afternoon, Uncle Scar had an argument with a worker in charge of excavating the artificial lake.
"It's on the drawing, why don't you follow it?" Uncle Scar had been finding fault all morning, and everyone in the entire park construction site was a little afraid of him.
“This is according to the blueprint.”
"Nonsense! The area under my feet is clearly a right angle on the blueprint. Isn't it curved?"
"Lao Wang, you got the direction wrong. This is the east."
"Nonsense, that's the East, and we are in the North." Uncle Scar said stubbornly.
The person in charge smiled bitterly and said, "Old Wang, does the sun rise from this place?"
"How is it possible from here?" The uncle with scar stretched his neck, his head was blank, and he glared angrily.
…
The two argued for a long time, and even when the old director came over, Uncle Scar still insisted on his point of view.
The old director and Uncle Scar were a happy couple. After realizing that they couldn't convince this stubborn guy, they had no choice but to invite another old worker who had a good relationship with Uncle Scar.
The old worker also talked to Uncle Scar for a long time with great patience, and Uncle Scar finally realized that he had indeed got it wrong.
He said nothing, but was breathing heavily through his nostrils.
…
The construction period of the entire park is expected to be 4-6 months. The main reason is that this season is also the spring rain season in the Bashu region. The spring rain can come at any time, so the workers have no choice but to stop work and rest.
Yuan Fangguo went to the construction site several times in April and once brought the hospital leaders with him. He was quite satisfied with the overall situation.
The workers worked tirelessly, and progress payments were naturally indispensable. This uncle with the scar really brought his stubborn nature to the extreme. According to the contract they drafted, the project volume was reviewed every half month, and Yuan Fangguo allocated funds based on the completion of the project. Every time the project volume was reviewed, the uncle with the scar would personally go down to pull the wires to verify it.
Some old colleagues, who were short of money, wanted Uncle Scar to help them review more project quantities, but he just glared at them and blew his beard and turned them away.
"Old Wang, you're as stubborn as a bull. The overall workload won't change anyway. If you pay us a little more now, won't you give us less when the bill is settled later?"
"That's not the case. We are all honest people. We get paid according to the work we do. I will never ask for that." Uncle Scar said righteously.
When Yuan Fangguo was communicating with the old secretary, he also overheard him talking about Uncle Scar being as stubborn as a wild bull. To be honest, he felt that it was precisely because of people like Uncle Scar who insisted on justice that he did not have to devote so much energy to the construction site. Otherwise, he would definitely be exhausted after this project.
