"Quick! Hurry up and open the warehouse! "The official glared at the construction site manager.
"Oh! Oh! "The construction site manager had no choice but to open the warehouse.
Soon, the door of the warehouse was opened, and in front of them was a mess of broken things. There were scaffolding, trash cans, and some smelly things that they did not know what they were.
The junk was piled up in a messy manner. It was annoying to look at.
"What is this?" Jiang Fei frowned.
"The workers' bedding …" The construction site manager said.
"Even a garbage dump is cleaner than this. What's going on? "Jiang Fei asked.
"This … Because the higher-ups did not give us the relevant funds, these bedding were brought by the workers themselves. As you know, during the financial crisis some time ago, it was fortunate that these poor people did not die. Their families had already sold everything that could be sold. The only things that could not be sold were these things …" The construction site manager gritted his teeth and said.
"No funds? How is that possible? I personally approved it. Anita, did you not send it to the finance department? "Jiang Fei turned around and asked.
"Boss, I did. The finance department has also given me the funds," Anita replied.
"What's going on?" Jiang Fei looked at the small official from the engineering department.
"…" The small official from the engineering department could not say a word. He was trembling all over.
"Speak. Don't make me waste my time!" Jiang Fei said coldly.
"Sir! Please spare my life! "The small official knelt in front of Jiang Fei.
"Speak!" Jiang Fei glared at the guy and said.
"Yes! Yes! " The small official's psychological defense had already collapsed. So, when Jiang Fei asked, he immediately told him everything he knew.
In fact, Jiang Fei had already guessed most of what this minor official had said. It was nothing more than corruption. This kind of thing was not news in the three-dimensional world. On the contrary, if there was an absolutely clean government, that would be news.
Similar to corruption in the three-dimensional world, this kind of thing was not a single case. It was impossible for an official to be corrupt because he did not dare to be. After all, there was no such thing as an impenetrable wall. It was almost impossible for one person to be corrupt for long.
Only by being greedy from top to bottom could an alliance be established. No one was clean, so they would naturally clean up each other's mess, and no one would worry that someone would report them.
In a bureaucratic system, if all the officials were honest, then even if someone wanted to be corrupt, he wouldn't dare. On the contrary, in a bureaucratic system where all the officials were corrupt, an honest official wouldn't be able to survive.
After all, we're all greedy, but you're not. What do you mean? Do you want to report us and get promoted? If we don't take care of you, how are we going to survive?
Therefore, in a corrupt bureaucratic system, an honest and upright official would either end up being corrupted, colluding with other corrupt officials, or being squeezed to death by other corrupt colleagues.
The bureaucrats in the Ministry of Engineering were no exception. These people were rotten from top to bottom. Jiang Fei's approved funds had been exploited by them layer by layer. It would be good if there was even a third of it left at the construction site.
"Hmph!" Jiang Fei snorted coldly, then said to the official kneeling on the ground, "As the Life Extension Centre's construction cannot be delayed, I'll give you one chance. Remember, this is your only chance. Go back and make it clear to those b * stards. If they cause trouble for me again, don't blame me for being merciless!"
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! "The official kneeling on the ground thanked Jiang Fei profusely.
"I won't pursue the matter of how much you've been greedy before, but remember this. The Life Extension Centre is no ordinary project. If there are quality problems because of your corruption, I promise you that you will beg me to hang you. That will be a happy release for you!" Jiang Fei said with a gloomy expression.
"Sir, we know we've done wrong. We dare not be corrupt anymore! We won't do it again. "The official kneeled on the ground and kowtowed like a chicken.
"Get up!" Jiang Fei nodded.
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! "After the official stood up from the ground, the back of his shirt was already soaked.
In fact, Jiang Fei did not care about the life or death of these minor officials at all. However, since it had happened, he had to deal with it. Moreover, as he said, he did not want to waste any more time. Therefore, the Life Extension Centre's construction must not stop. He did not have the time to replace the officials in the engineering department.
"Let's go! Let's take a look inside. " After saying that, Jiang Fei walked inside. As something had gone wrong as soon as he entered, it was only natural for Jiang Fei to go inside and check carefully.
Very soon, Jiang Fei walked around the entire warehouse. Just as he expected, all the equipment that had been cleaned out of the Life Extension Centre were here. However, these equipment were severely deformed. Some had even entered the soil and water. Moreover, these instruments were very valuable. Therefore, after entering the soil and water, they were obviously useless.
"Apart from these things, is there anything else that was excavated?" Jiang Fei asked because he did not find any information about these instruments.
"Sir, it's all here," the person in charge of the construction site said.
"Alright! Let's go. "Jiang Fei nodded, then led the group out of the warehouse.
"Remember, I'm only going to say this once. The Life Extension Center is no ordinary place. It's fine if you're corrupted elsewhere, but not here. If the quality of the construction here is affected because of you, trust me, I'll make you regret ever being born into this world!" After Jiang Fei said that, he brought Anita back to the city hall.
"Sir, do you want to report what happened today to the consul?" Anita asked on the way back.
"Forget it. It's not easy for these minor officials. I've already warned them. If they repent, I'll give them a chance," Jiang Fei said.
"Alright!" Anita nodded. Her attitude toward Jiang Fei had changed.
Previously, Anita worked for the consul. She would report Jiang Fei's every move. There was no room for negotiation. However, ever since she started calling Jiang Fei boss, Anita was no longer that loyal to the consul.
Jiang Fei's continuous care was effective. Anita's attitude began to shift towards Jiang Fei. For example, she began to ask Jiang Fei if she wanted to report what happened today. Obviously, Anita no longer treated the consul as her boss. Instead, she treated Jiang Fei as her boss.
After returning to the city hall, Jiang Fei saw that there was nothing else to do today, so he let Anita get off work early. He took care of Anita like this. Other than wanting to help Anita so that she would have more time to fall in love, he was also trying to bribe her.
