In the end, Zhou Feng reluctantly agreed to work overtime. He looked at the dirty cement in his hands and wished he could find a place to take a shower.

However, when he thought about his salary, which was three times the market salary, he had no choice but to stick it out.

He lay low for four days before deciding to take action.

He thought that he would go crazy if things continued this way!

The night was dark and the wind was strong.

There were not many people supervising the work at night, so Zhou Feng took advantage of a break and went to the office where construction materials were placed.

With a flashlight, he found the quality test certificate in the drawer.

When he read the first sentence, he realized that something was wrong.

The materials left the factory last year!

Zhou Feng was puzzled as to why they would buy such cheap cement.

He wondered if the entire apartment block was made of such cement.

“Would the apartments still be fit to live in?” he thought.

He also realized the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly took out his phone to take a picture of the document.

None of the materials met the quality standards.

Even the list of materials was wrong. It looked like a list from a small factory.

Just as he was taking photos, footsteps approached.

Zhou Feng hurriedly hid behind a container.

The sound of the door being locked followed.

“Chairman Lu, don’t worry. We’ve already used those inferior materials to build a complete building. There won’t be any problems. In my opinion, there’s no difference in the quality of these materials.”

“Is this the voice of the contractor?” Zhou Feng wondered.

“Chairman Lu?”

Zhou Feng wondered if the contractor was on the phone with the boss of the Lu Corporation.

He held his breath.

“As long as we promote it well, I’m sure many people will choose to move in.”

The contractor sat on a chair and crushed his cigarette butt. He said, “Now, our company’s shortage of funds can be completely resolved. Even if customers want to cancel their purchases, we don’t have to refund them because they have signed a contract!”

He could not help laughing as he was saying this.

He was ready to let those idiots move in!

“I haven’t even finished building but people can’t wait for the launch date. I guarantee, this place will definitely sell very well, better than the previous ones.

It doesn’t matter if it’s dangerous or not. Have you forgotten? We used the same method to build apartments in those residential areas previously. Aren’t those people still living well now? They still don’t know that their homes will collapse at any time!

We’ve made a lot of money just using this method. I’m sure that the Lu Corporation will move another step forward in no time! I’ll be vigilant here. I’m sure there won’t be any problems!”

…

When Zhou Feng heard these words, his expression turned ugly.

“Let ordinary people live in dangerous apartments?” he thought.

“Isn’t that risking their lives?”

He did not know how long he had been squatting there. After making the call, the contractor smoked for a while before leaving.

By the time Zhou Feng stood up, his legs were numb.

He looked at his phone and muttered regretfully, “I forgot to record his conversation.”

He was so shocked that he forgot to do that.

If there was a recording, perhaps they could take down the Lu Corporation.

He shook his head. He did not think the Lu Corporation would be destroyed so easily.

He returned to the construction site slowly.

The contractor was already doing a headcount. Seeing how lazy Zhou Feng was, he said with slight dissatisfaction, “Where did you go? You haven’t been around for such a long time.”

“To the toilet.”
