But upon entering, they took a look.
There weren't many workers on the construction site.
Only about a dozen people, it seemed.
Among them, a few were sitting directly on the construction materials, smoking and chatting, looking very relaxed.
Chen Fang and Li Weiyang found the fitness equipment piled up on the side, waiting to be installed. At this moment, they discovered that these so-called fitness equipment were nothing but trash collected from who knows where, and without being painted, they looked dilapidated beyond recognition.
Even more troublesome was the so-called sewage pipe network renovation project.
Just like the Xinglin District, they had simply dug it up, with no intention of replacing it at all.
The purpose of the digging was solely to take a photo for later inspection approval.
"Hey, you two, what are you doing?"
Just as Chen Fang and Li Weiyang were searching around.
Suddenly a voice scolded from behind.
They turned around.
They saw a man in his thirties, wearing a white safety helmet, followed by three people wearing blue safety helmets surrounding them.
Chen Fang was familiar with the roles represented by the different colors of helmets on a construction site.
For instance, this white helmet generally represented engineering project managers.
And these blue helmets.
Represented the safety officers on the construction site, or roles like project safety supervisors.
"I'm asking you, what are you two doing?"
The man in the white helmet shouted again.
At this moment, Chen Fang couldn't hold back any longer.
Pointing at the pile of fitness equipment on the ground, he said angrily, "What are you doing, using this junk to make up for quality, aren't you afraid that old people and children will get hurt while exercising? Doing some construction, yet having no conscience at all?"
Hearing this.
The person in the white helmet was stunned for a moment.
He glanced at the ordinarily dressed Chen Fang.
Because it was the weekend, Chen Fang was wearing a simple tracksuit instead of an executive jacket.
So, in appearance, Chen Fang didn't look so intimidating.
"Are you the owner?"
The person in the white helmet asked tentatively.
Li Weiyang was just about to answer.
She was stopped by Chen Fang, who said first, "Yes, we are the owners."
Upon hearing they were the owners.
The person in the white helmet sighed with relief.
He frowned and said, "Why don't you just go wherever it's cool, you didn't spend a penny, the government is renovating for you, yet you still pick and choose, have you no shame? Get out of here!"
Chen Fang pulled Li Weiyang and was about to leave.
At that moment.
A person in a blue helmet pointed at Li Weiyang's hand and whispered, "Water Bro, that woman has a camera."
As soon as those words were spoken.
The person in the white helmet shuddered.
He glanced over.
Indeed.
Li Weiyang was holding a small digital camera in her hand.
This wasn't right.
How could an owner come here to take photos?
Moreover, there were quite a few substandard materials on site, and these photos absolutely couldn't be leaked; if they ended up in the hands of some nosy journalist, their inferior shoddy practices couldn't be covered up.
The person in the white helmet, upon realizing this, shuddered.
He shouted, "You two, stop!"
Chen Fang knew that if they stopped, those photos might not be saved.
He quickened his pace.
As soon as they started running.
The person in the white helmet felt something was wrong.
He immediately pulled out the walkie-talkie from his waist and shouted, "Everyone, stop that man and woman. I'll dock the wages of anyone who lets them run!"
This shout.
All the workers who were busy on the construction site paused their work.
Looking in the direction of the two.
Realizing this man and woman were the ones to be caught.
They rushed from all directions toward Chen Fang and Li Weiyang.
If it was just Chen Fang alone, he could have escaped without issue.
But Li Weiyang wasn't as quick.
They tried running in several directions, but all were blocked.
After a chase.
The two were still caught.
The person in the white helmet came up, panting heavily.
Pointing at the camera in Li Weiyang's hand, he said, "Don't make trouble, give us the camera and I'll let you go."
"This is our camera, why should we give it to you?"
Li Weiyang asked.
The person in the white helmet nodded.
Said, "Won't give it, huh? Fine, just wait then."
Having said that.
He took out his phone.
Dialed a number in front of the two.
After the call connected.
He shouted into the phone, "Flathead Bro, Flathead Bro, two strangers came to the site, carrying a camera, not sure what they snapped. They refuse to hand over the camera."
Hearing the person in the white helmet call for Flathead Bro.
Chen Fang and Li Weiyang glanced at each other.
Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence.
Whatever was said over the phone.
After the person in the white helmet hung up, he pointed at the two and said, "Our Flathead Bro will be here soon. If you know what's best, hand over the camera quickly, or you'll be the ones suffering when he arrives."
Li Weiyang certainly wouldn't hand it over.
Both sides were thus at a standoff.
About seven or eight minutes later.
A familiar figure appeared at the entrance.
It was Liu Zhenping, who had clashed with them just last night.
Two people followed him, the same two guys who drank with him last night.
Seeing Liu Zhenping come in.
The person in the white helmet rushed over eagerly.
He explained the details of the situation cheerfully, as if seeking credit from Liu Zhenping for spotting the anomaly.
By seeing Liu Zhenping's furious expression, it was clear he was very angry.
But when the person in the white helmet pointed out Chen Fang and Li Weiyang to him, Liu Zhenping's eyes froze, and he rubbed his eyes in disbelief, exclaiming, "Mayor Chen, Secretary Li, why is it you?"
The person in the white helmet was still basking in triumph.
Hearing Liu Zhenping's address.
He immediately wilted.
Smack!
Liu Zhenping turned around.
And slapped the white helmet on the face.
He even knocked the white helmet askew.
"You idiot, have you got eyes, daring to stop anyone, you're really brainless."
Being scolded by Liu Zhen like this.
The person in the white helmet didn't even dare to make a sound.
Lowering his head, he apologized reluctantly.
Liu Zhenping nodded and bowed as he approached Chen Fang and said, "Mayor Chen, if you want to inspect the site, just let me know in advance. See, we almost had a misunderstanding. Come, Mayor Chen, let's go to the project office to have some tea, and I'll brief you on the current project progress."
Chen Fang also wanted to ask face-to-face about what was going on with these shoddy goods.
He said, "Mr. Liu, please lead the way then."
"Please, please, take both leaders to the project office."
Liu Zhenping was all enthusiasm.
As Chen Fang and Li Weiyang turned to leave.
He waved a hand.
A big man beside him immediately approached.
Liu Zhenping leaned in and whispered, "Notify our people to seal the entire site, and also have the project office surrounded. All this non-compliant junk material must be cleared away within half an hour."
