Lu Yuan spent only half a day drawing up a design plan for the sanatorium. With the vision and experience of people from later generations, he was quite confident in the design.
He approached the design from several aspects, including the natural environment and landscape, the comfort and functionality of the building itself, as well as medical, rehabilitation, and recreational facilities. The design was quite advanced, but it was entirely feasible.
Gao Weishan was shocked when he received it. He didn't understand design, but he could still understand it. There were small explanatory notes on the drawings for many professional parts.
The more I looked at it, the more shocked and delighted I became. In the end, I didn't even bother to eat dinner. I grabbed the design draft and rushed off, not returning until midnight.
He left home early the next morning, and when he returned, his face was beaming with an uncontrollable smile.
"A-Yuan, come with me to the study."
The father and son went into the study, and Gao Weishan closed all the doors and windows, and drew the curtains.
Lu Yuan asked with a smile, "Dad, why are you being so mysterious?"
Gao Weishan spoke in a low voice, "This matter requires a high degree of secrecy. Let me ask you first, if the sanatorium is entrusted to you, can you maintain complete confidentiality, even to the point that your wife cannot tell you?"
"No!" Lu Yuan answered decisively; he had no secrets from his wife.
Gao Weishan choked.
“Ah Yuan, I know you love your wife, but this is no small matter and cannot be told to anyone, including your family.”
Lu Yuan was puzzled. "Dad, it's just building a sanatorium for high-ranking officials. My wife already knows about it. How can I keep it from her?"
Gao Weishan explained, "It's not this, it's something else. I can only tell you the specifics if you can keep it a secret."
"Otherwise, you wouldn't be planning to use the sanatorium as a front to build a training base, would you?" Lu Yuan said casually.
Gao Weishan stared wide-eyed, looking as if he had seen a ghost.
Upon seeing this, Lu Yuan was also stunned. "No way, did I guess right?"
Gao Weishan became serious. "Comrade Lu Yuan."
Lu Yuan stood up straight reflexively. "Here!"
"The organization now orders you to keep this matter strictly confidential, even from your family. Can you do that?"
"able!"
After saying that, the two stared at each other.
Lu Yuan was inwardly cursing. Was this ingrained discipline going to affect him for all eternity?
Gao Weishan was suspicious. He had a strange feeling that his son was a soldier.
Thinking about his abilities again, well, it doesn't seem surprising that he's like this.
He took out a confidentiality agreement and said, "A-Yuan, you need to sign this. After you sign it, I'll tell you the details."
Lu Yuan looked at it carefully, then shook his head and didn't sign it.
“Dad, my wife is smart. I don’t need to say anything. She’ll figure it out eventually. I can’t hide it from her.”
Then he offered a suggestion, "Dad, why don't you recruit my wife and make her your pharmaceutical assistant? You can also have her sign a confidentiality agreement, so I won't have to hide it from her anymore. She can also help you with pharmaceuticals. You know my wife's talent for pharmaceuticals."
Gao Weishan clapped his hands excitedly. "Yes, although my daughter-in-law's medical skills aren't great, her pharmaceutical skills are quite good. We really need someone like her."
"Let me make a phone call and ask for instructions first."
There was a telephone at home, and they quickly received a reply, so they called Wen Moxue into the study together.
After the two signed a confidentiality agreement, Gao Weishan told them about building the base.
"Ah Yuan, now we need you to make adjustments to the design drawings, and the base should also be included in the design."
Okay, I understand.
"Then I'll arrange for Wen Gang to come over and tell you what the training base is like."
Lu Yuan waved his hand, "Dad, no need, I know how to change it."
He was very familiar with the training base; it was something he could do with effortlessly, especially since the training bases of later generations were more scientific and effective than those of today.
In just one day, he not only revised the design draft but also included a training plan, which changed Gao Weishan's opinion of him once again.
My son really knows everything!
This time, he took Lu Yuan directly to see Zhao Zhiyi. The three of them talked for a whole morning in the office.
When they came out, Gao Weishan was beaming, while Lu Yuan looked dejected.
“A-Yuan, don’t feel pressured. You have to believe in yourself. You can definitely do this well.”
Lu Yuan pleaded again, "Dad, can I not do it?"
It's not that he doesn't believe in his abilities; he just doesn't want to take on this difficult task.
If I had known that going along would mean taking on a lot of hard work, I would never have come.
"Ah Yuan, this is good news. It's an honor to be promoted to instructor. The leadership has also agreed. As long as you achieve results, it's not impossible to promote you to regimental commander."
Lu Yuan sighed. He didn't want to. He never wanted to be a battalion commander or regimental commander in his life. He just wanted to lie down, live a life of leisure, and enjoy life.
But now Zhao Zhiyi and his superiors have both appointed him as the instructor, and he can't refuse, which is obviously an established fact that cannot be changed.
"I really want to slap myself twice. If I hadn't written that training plan, and instead went with my dad to see the commander, answering all his questions and being afraid he wouldn't approve, I would have mentioned all the benefits. In the end, I've gotten myself into this huge mess. What a disaster!"
That night, the young couple lay in bed, and Lu Yuan couldn't help but complain to his wife.
Wen Moxue listened with a smile and said, "Brother Yuan, since you can't refuse, then do your job well. If you do well, you can become a regimental commander in two years. That's something many people strive for half their lives but can't achieve."
"I don't care. With you and the babies in my life, I don't care about anything else."
