Zhou Feng, who had been exposed, was not embarrassed. He said confidently, “Right, I have no money.”

“How honest,” Lu Ming thought.

He had a good impression of Zhou Feng. “I need you to infiltrate the construction team and check if the materials meet industry standards and the reasons. Can you do it?”

“No problem!”

Zhou Feng said readily, “The deposit is 50 thousand yuan.”

Lu Ming transferred the money to him on the spot and said, “If you don’t give yourself away, I’ll give you another 200 thousand yuan.”

Zhou Feng’s eyes lit up when he heard the money. “Boss, you’re really rich! Do you have a mine at home?”

“No mines, just a few companies.”

Lu Ming said seriously.

Zhou Feng clicked his tongue in wonder. “Just a few companies? As expected of a big boss.”

Lu Ming raised his eyebrows but did not say anything.

The two of them reached an agreement at last.

The next day.

The studio apartments that the Lu Corporation was constructing were half built.

A new member joined the construction team suddenly.

The construction workers had thought that young people these days would get tired of the job after trying it out. They did not expect the new member to be so hardworking. He was even faster than veterans like them.

“Little Zhou, are you joining us for lunch?”

An older man asked the busy young man.

Zhou Feng wiped his sweat and said, “No! I brought some food this morning. Go have your lunch!”

“Alright!”

When he was alone at the construction site, he straightened up.

He did not like working on a construction site. He had only been working for a short while, but he was already drenched in sweat.

He took a wet towel from his pocket and wiped his hands.

Then he looked around. After ensuring that no one was around, he picked up a bottle of water and entered an apartment.

The tiles in each room were already laid. He unscrewed the cap of the bottle and poured the water on the tiles. The water flowed over them immediately, leaving obvious traces.

“No way!” he thought.

“Even the tiles are of inferior quality?”

Zhou Feng knocked on the floor. The sound was very heavy.

It was really as he had thought.

So he went up to the roof that had yet to be built. When he saw the color of the cement, he immediately took a photo.

He thought that the color was so dark that there must be a lot of impurities in the mixture.

Just as he was humming, a voice almost startled him into dropping his phone onto the cement.

“What are you doing?”

Zhou Feng turned around and said with a smile, “I’m new here. I just want to take a picture of the scenery here.”

“Scenery?”

A man in a blue hat walked over and looked down. Other than flat ground, there were only weeds. “What is there to see?” he thought.

“Your aesthetics are really strange.”

Zhou Feng laughed dryly. He wondered why the Lu Corporation had built studio apartments in the wilderness!

Blue Hat reminded him, “You’d better be careful. Don’t become disabled at such a young age.”

“What do you mean?”

Zhou Feng perceived that he was alluding to something.

Blue Hat seemed to have noted a problem with his own words and quickly said, “I didn’t say anything. Just pretend you never heard this.”

Zhou Feng skillfully thumped him with his arm and took out a pack of Chunghwa cigarettes. He offered him a cigarette and took another for himself. “There’s no one here. Even if you say it, no one will hear you.”
