After a day of work, Jiang Fei returned home as usual.
For the next few days, Jiang Fei worked according to plan. He was waiting for the basic construction of the Life Extension Center to be completed. Once the basic construction was complete, the instruments would be installed. Then, Jiang Fei would be able to get his hands on the things he wanted.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. On the afternoon of the third day, Jiang Fei called Anita in after he was done with his administrative work.
"Boss, you were looking for me?" Anita asked after she entered.
"How's the progress of the Life Extension Center?" Jiang Fei asked.
"I'm sorry, boss. I haven't been paying attention to it recently. I'll help you check it now," Anita said.
"No need. Get me the guy from the engineering department from last time," Jiang Fei said.
"Alright!" Anita nodded, then turned around and left.
Not long after, Anita returned to Jiang Fei with the low-ranking official from last time.
"Sir, you were looking for me …" When the low-ranking official saw Jiang Fei, he could not help but start to tremble. He regretted not resigning immediately after he returned.
"Mmm!" Jiang Fei nodded, then asked, "How's the progress of the Life Extension Center?"
"Sir, the progress is still … still okay …" The low-ranking official stammered.
"Nonsense! What do you mean by still okay? I'm asking you which stage is it at? "Jiang Fei said as he slammed the table.
"Err … This …" The low-ranking official immediately started to sweat. His legs also trembled even more.
"I'm telling you to speak, so speak! Do you not know what I used to do? "Jiang Fei asked coldly.
"Yes! Yes! Sir, I'll speak! "The low-ranking official was frightened.
"…" Jiang Fei did not say anything, but his eyes were fixed on the low-ranking official, making him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.
"Sir, the progress of the project has been suspended …" The low-ranking official said, trembling.
"What?! Say that again! "Jiang Fei immediately raised his eyebrows.
"Sir … Sir … the progress of the project … has been suspended …" Jiang Fei's anger made the low-ranking official even more afraid.
"Why!" Jiang Fei asked sternly.
"No … No money …" The low-ranking official did not even dare to look up at Jiang Fei.
"What about the budget?" Jiang Fei asked.
"After the layers of exploitation, the budget was never enough. Everyone has been living beyond their means. However, after you lost your temper last time, the next batch of funds has not been allocated. This has caused the project to be unable to continue …" the official said.
"Didn't I warn you last time?" Jiang Fei asked coldly.
"Your Excellency … Your Excellency, I've already returned all the embezzled money, but I don't have much power … Although I've conveyed your words to the others, I really can't control what they do …" The minor official was about to cry.
"Alright! I got it! " Jiang Fei nodded. These corrupt bureaucrats would not shed a tear until they saw the coffin. They would not give up until the very last step.
"Sir … Then I …" The officer trembled as he looked at Jiang Fei.
"Hand in a resignation letter," Jiang Fei said.
"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord! " The minor official almost knelt down in front of Jiang Fei. Although Jiang Fei had asked him to resign, it was already the best choice for him. Although he had lost his job, at least he could keep his head.
"Alright, you can go. Once you've written the resignation letter, hand it to Anita. I'll personally approve it," Jiang Fei said to the minor official.
"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord! " After thanking Jiang Fei repeatedly, the minor official turned around and left. He was in a hurry to write his resignation letter. As he did not know when the storm would come, it was naturally best to leave as soon as possible.
"Boss, about the engineering department …" After the minor official left, Anita looked at Jiang Fei.
"Sigh! The engineering department is a lucrative job. The officials in it dare to be so blatantly corrupt. Moreover, after I warned them, they still did not know how to stop. This means that they have a backer, and if they can withstand my pressure, this backer is most likely related to the Consul. So, I have to talk to the Consul, "Jiang Fei said.
"Mmm, boss, I also suggest that you do this. Don't recklessly deal with them just because you want to be happy. Many of these people are related to the Consul." Anita had worked for the Consul for many years, so she knew more about the bureaucratic system than Jiang Fei.
"I know. I'll talk to the Consul this afternoon. After you're done with your own matters, you can leave early." Jiang Fei nodded.
"Thank you, boss!" Anita said happily. She was just a lowly worker. She did not want to get involved in the struggles between these bureaucrats. Therefore, she left early to go on a date with her boyfriend. This was more attractive to her than the intrigues of the bureaucracy.
After a simple lunch, Jiang Fei drove straight to the Consul's mansion. Ever since Jiang Fei was in charge of the administration, the Consul rarely went to the city hall. He usually stayed at home to strategize.
"Master Ralph, are you looking for the Consul?" Jiang Fei met one of the administrative secretaries in the Consul's mansion.
"Mmm!" Jiang Fei nodded.
"That's unfortunate. The Consul has gone to the country house to play basketball." The administrative secretary said to Jiang Fei with a smile.
"Alright! Thank you. I'll go over there to look for him. "Jiang Fei nodded. He knew that the Consul had a hobby of playing golf.
After leaving the Consul's mansion, Jiang Fei did not waste any time. He immediately drove to the suburbs. About an hour later, he arrived at the Consul's country house.
"Is the Consul in?" Jiang Fei asked from the doorway.
"Yes, the Consul is playing golf in the back." A servant replied.
"Mmm, go and inform him that I want to see him." Jiang Fei said.
"Wait a moment, Master Ralph!" The servant turned around and went in.
After a while, the servant ran back and said to Jiang Fei, "Master Ralph, the Consul is asking for you."
"Alright!" Jiang Fei nodded, then followed the attendant all the way to the court at the back.
Very soon, Jiang Fei saw the Consul on the golf course.
"Master!" Jiang Fei went up to greet him.
"Come! Play a few rounds with me! "The Consul said.
"Okay!" Jiang Fei did not decline. He had only tried golf a few times before. However, with his own control of strength, precise perception and calculation ability, this kind of sport was nothing to him.
"Pa! Pa! Pa! " After a few rounds, Jiang Fei began to exert his strength. He no longer showed any mercy to the Consul because he wanted to end the entertainment session as soon as possible. After all, he was here to talk business with the Consul today.
