Chapter 658 Noble People
Director Song's originally peaceful, smiling face changed instantly. First there was a hint of pride, and then a frown with a helpless look.
He put the receiver close to his ear, leaned forward, raised his voice and spoke eagerly:
"Brother, calm down first. Calm down. Don't get excited. Talk slowly. We have plenty of time. You are an old man. Don't get yourself hurt by your anxiety!"
As he spoke, he nodded constantly, as if keeping time with an invisible person on the other end of the line, and from time to time he would interject a few brief responses:
"Yes, I know. This is indeed a great event that our commune has been looking forward to for a long time. Everyone is eagerly waiting for it..."
Director Song never took his eyes off the receiver. He listened attentively, occasionally interjecting a few soothing words to let the other party finish speaking.
Wang Jianguo stood aside, watching Director Song's every move intently, speculating secretly in his heart.
Liu Chuanjun on the other end of the phone must have been so excited that he could hardly control himself, and maybe even his voice was trembling, to have been comforted by Director Song in such an earnest manner.
Immersed in this sudden joy, the bustling scene after the completion of the brick factory may have emerged in his mind, and he couldn't wait to share his vision with Director Song.
Not long after, Director Song shook his head gently, with a smile on his face that was infected by Liu Chuanjun's enthusiasm, and raised his hand to slowly hang up the phone.
He turned around and faced Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo, his eyes shining with excitement and anticipation like the brightest stars in the night sky.
I couldn't help but burst into laughter. The hearty laughter echoed in the office, dispelling all the dullness:
"Hahahaha, my brother Liu, when he heard the news of our new brick factory was confirmed, I think he was so excited that he jumped up."
"You didn't hear him yelling on the other end of the phone. It was so loud that it almost broke my eardrums."
Director Song laughed loudly and gestured exaggeratedly with his hands, trying to recreate Liu Chuanjun's excited look:
"He kept talking over there, saying that this was a great event for our commune, and that they had been looking forward to it for a long time, and it was finally here."
"He also said that everything he was doing was insignificant at the moment and he would put it down and come over immediately. Look, he said he would be here soon. Let's wait for her for a while."
Zhao Shuzhuo was also amused by Director Song's vivid description, and his face was full of smiles. He then said:
"It seems that Director Liu is really happy for our commune. With his enthusiasm and professional experience, our brick factory will surely be built smoothly."
Wang Jianguo also nodded his head in agreement and said:
"Yes, Director Liu is well-known in the town's brick factory. He has superb skills and rich management experience."
"It would be a blessing for us if he could come and give us some advice. But seeing how excited he is, it also shows that we are doing a great job and giving everyone hope."
Director Song nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a firm belief in the future:
"Yes, we all hope that the brick factory can start operation as soon as possible and bring tangible changes to the commune."
"When Liu Chuanjun comes, we will discuss it carefully and finalize every detail, so as to get the brick factory completed and put into production as soon as possible."
Wang Jianguo straightened his back slightly, his face full of sincerity and admiration, and his eyes passed through the space in front of him.
It seemed as if I could see Director Liu's busy daily routine and his selfless contributions to the development of the commune.
Then, he focused his eyes, looked at Director Song with deep respect, and said:
"Director Song, you know what? After interacting with Director Liu for a while, my admiration for him is like a torrent of water, endless."
Wang Jianguo paused slightly, as if he was organizing his thoughts, or as if he was immersed in memories.
"Logically speaking, if we build this new brick factory, it will have some impact on the old brick factory he runs in terms of market competition."
"After all, although the demand for bricks in our commune and the surrounding areas is of a certain scale, the total amount is relatively fixed in the short term, and a new factory will come to share a piece of the pie."
"If it were someone else, they would probably be worried and try to find ways to attract more business to their factory to avoid losing customers."
Wang Jianguo's eyes revealed a trace of emotion. He shook his head slightly and continued:
"But Director Liu didn't think that way at all, and he didn't do that at all. When we were still struggling and running around for the preparations for the brick factory, guess what happened?"
"It was him who first gave us the valuable suggestion to build a new brick factory."
At this point, Wang Jianguo became a little excited, and his voice unconsciously rose a few notes. He stretched out his hand and tapped lightly in the air to emphasize his words:
"I remember it very clearly. We were doing some work in the town that day and we ran into Director Liu by chance. We started talking about the development of the commune."
"At that time, the supply of building materials was always a bit stretched. When people built houses and carried out infrastructure, they often worried about not being able to buy enough bricks."
"Director Liu listened to our difficulties, frowned slightly, his eyes full of thought, and after a moment, he slapped his thigh and said in a firm tone:"
"'Our commune must have its own brick factory, and we must build it as soon as possible. If we rely on just one factory, the supply will not meet the demand. How long will the villagers have to wait and how much money will they have to spend to buy bricks from other places?"
"I've been thinking about this for a long time. Just go ahead and do it. If you need any help, feel free to come to me.'"
Wang Jianguo's face was filled with a touching smile. He looked at Director Song again and said in a more serious tone:
"Director Song, listen to this. What kind of broad-mindedness and tolerance is this? All he cares about is the needs of the people in the commune. He doesn't put his own gains and losses first at all."
"For this reason alone, I believe from the bottom of my heart that he is a noble person who deserves to be learned by every one of us."
Director Song listened carefully to Wang Jianguo's story, nodded constantly, and his eyes were full of admiration for Director Liu. He said softly:
"Yes, Director Liu has always been a solid supporter of the development of our commune. With his selflessness and enthusiasm, the construction of our brick factory will definitely avoid many detours and benefit the people more quickly."
Zhao Shuzhuo on the side also echoed:
"That's right. Director Liu's vision and character are really beyond reproach. We must learn from him and run the brick factory properly to give the villagers a satisfactory answer."
For a time, the office was filled with admiration for Director Liu and confidence in the future construction of the brick factory.
The three of them seemed to see the booming production scene after the brick factory was built, contributing to the vigorous development of the commune.
