The next morning, a flurry of activity began at Ding's Pharmaceutical Factory.
A portion of the workers left the production floor, grabbed brooms and rags, and gave the entire factory grounds a thorough cleaning.
Inside and outside the workshops, along the roads, and in the green belts,
every corner that might be an eyesore was meticulously cleaned.
They strove to present the cleanest and most professional appearance possible for the mayor's arrival.
At two in the afternoon, a convoy of black sedans and a coaster bus departed from the municipal government complex,
heading for the industrial park where Ding's Pharmaceutical Factory was located.
On the way, Mayor Lin had his driver slow down. He carefully observed the scenery on both sides of the road through his car window.
Just as Director Wu had reported, the Willow Catkin that had been flying everywhere just a short time ago was now practically gone.
