The first thing Yuan Fangguo did after returning to Chengdu was to go to the hospital and the park.
His main purpose was still the park.
When he arrived at the park, he saw the workers working hard. The old director and Uncle Scar were also there.
The construction of the park has now entered the final stage. The pavilions, rockery and artificial lake have all been completed, and only the final cleaning and beautification stage remains.
When the old director and the uncle with scar saw Yuan Fangguo, they quickly put down their work and ran over.
"Mr. Yuan, how come you have time to come here today?" the old director asked with a smile on his face.
"I just came back from outside. I thought the park matter was almost done, so I came to take a look." Yuan Fangguo said with a smile.
Uncle Scar said impatiently, "Mr. Yuan, how about we take you on a tour? I think it's quite beautiful here."
"Okay, just take a look."
Because Chengdu had just had a heavy rain two days ago and the roads were not cleaned very well, the paths in the park were covered with mud. Uncle Scar carefully found him a pair of rain boots.
"This path leads directly to the top of the mountain. There is a pavilion in the middle and two caves. We will dig as much as we can into the caves. When we install colorful lights, it will definitely be very beautiful at night."
"Standing here and looking at the artificial lake, don't you feel it's beautiful?"
…
The old director and the uncle with scar both enthusiastically introduced the current construction progress of the park. At this rate, they would be able to complete the project before the Mid-Autumn Festival, not the National Day. By then, it would greatly facilitate the family quarters of the machinery factory and the hospital.
"Mr. Yuan, I heard that you have reserved a piece of land for construction in front of the park?" The three of them were walking and chatting, and the old director took the initiative to ask.
Yuan Fangguo nodded. "Yes, a piece of land has been reserved for construction. We plan to build a convalescent center for soldiers who have been injured while serving the country."
"That's a good suggestion. The environment here is so good, it will definitely help with physical and mental recuperation."
"One of my nephews was also injured in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam. He's almost forty now and still hasn't found a partner," said the scarred uncle with a sad face. "They say the country never forgets, but our country has so many soldiers and such a vast territory. I think my nephew is the type who will be forgotten."
Although Uncle Scar is about fifty years old, he is not much different from a young man in the way he speaks and does things. When he talks about injustice, he can't help but feel resentment and anger.
"Senior, you are actually right, but our country has a lot of disabled soldiers and a large territory. I guess we can't take care of them all for the time being, but I believe these will eventually be realized." Yuan Fangguo said with a smile.
Seeing Yuan Fangguo talking to him with a smile and speaking according to his own feelings, Uncle Scar's resentment and anger instantly disappeared by more than half.
"Boss Yuan, if only everyone could be like you," the old director couldn't help but sigh. "Last week, a deputy director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission brought people from the Asset Appraisal Center to our machinery factory."
"Is Wu Jingzhong the factory director now?" Yuan Fangguo asked quickly.
The old director nodded and said, "Yes, the current factory director is Wu Jingzhong."
"After Wu Jingzhong became the factory director, he always put on an act for us. Who knows how he colluded with those people behind the scenes? Anyway, I heard that our machinery factory is insolvent. Such a big factory, the machines and factory buildings alone are worth a lot of money, how can it be insolvent?" After saying this, the uncle with the scar spat fiercely on the ground, as if Wu Jingzhong had been stepped on by him, and his saliva was specifically directed at Wu Jingzhong.
"Old Wang, it's best not to speculate on such things. No matter what, we can't escape the fact that our machinery factory was auctioned off. As long as they can resettle us workers, that's all that's needed." The old director said seriously.
Scar's rage suddenly returned. He stiffened his neck and said, "Old leader, you've seen that female director before. She's so arrogant and domineering, as if she has the final say in everything. I think she and Wu Jingzhong are in cahoots."
The old director glared at the scarred uncle fiercely and complained, "Old Wang, you just can't change your stubborn temper. After all, they are representing the higher-ups. If you want to talk nonsense, just go back and tell them. Don't talk nonsense here. I've already said that we can't go back to the factory to work as workers. They can just make arrangements for us."
"Resettlement? Who knows how to resettle? Would you go if I asked you to sweep the streets?" Uncle Scar snorted coldly.
"Why are you so extreme in your thinking?" the old director said with an unhappy look on his face. "And do you think sweeping the streets is so easy?"
"You always wait for others to arrange your destiny. I, Old Wang, was the same as you before, but after going through so much, I can see things clearly. This time, I have to control my own destiny. No one can move the machinery factory if it is not properly arranged. Even if it is left to rot like this, I won't say anything. But those damn corrupt officials are getting fat behind this. I feel sick when I think about this." The uncle with the scar said angrily, and didn't even look at the old director.
Seeing that he had no tricks to deal with this stubborn donkey, the old director turned his head away and didn't look at Uncle Scar.
Yuan Fangguo witnessed the entire fight between the two old naughty boys. He couldn't help but smile and said, "You two should stop fighting. The enemy hasn't even entered yet, and you're already fighting. What's the point? At this moment, everyone must be of the same opinion."
The old director smiled wryly and pushed his hand away, saying, "Boss Yuan, there are so many people in our machinery factory. As the saying goes, people's hearts are separated by their stomachs. It's impossible to unify our opinions."
"Just do more work." Yuan Fangguo said with a smile.
The old director said with embarrassment, "This job is really hard to do. Look, Lao Wang and I can't even reach a consensus, let alone the people below us, right?"
"Old leader, it's not that we can't reach a consensus, but that we have different perspectives. I feel that if you always leave your fate to others and don't fight for it yourself, will others take the initiative to consider things from our perspective?"
After hearing this, the old director stopped talking and remained silent.
Yuan Fangguo quickly resolved the awkward situation, "Two seniors, let's go into the cave and take a look."
With his suggestion, the old director and Uncle Scar remembered that their mission was to accompany Yuan Fangguo to see the construction project, not to engage in internal fighting.
The three of them wandered around the construction site for most of the day and didn't come out until noon.
"Two seniors, let's have lunch here at noon. I'll treat you." Yuan Fangguo said as he dusted himself off.
When the old director and the uncle with scar heard that he was going to treat them again, they shook their heads like rattles.
Just as Yuan Fangguo was about to continue the invitation, a woman's voice suddenly came from the gate of the machinery factory.
The voice didn't sound gentle at all, but rather quite firm.
