Chapter 103: Chapter 103 Mrs. Xiao Trapped (9)

Tang Qingzhong became increasingly perplexed as he listened, unsure of how to proceed, so he let Gu Nuan ask the questions.

Gu Nuan inquired, "Is it common for various departments to inspect this construction site?"

Surprised by her question, the worker glanced at Gu Nuan and said, "Yes, you’re right. This is the first time I’ve seen so many departments frequently inspecting a project. Those department heads claim they have to come because they received reports accusing us of cutting corners and compromising on quality, but that’s just not true. Each time they investigate, they find nothing and leave. After the accident that happened to Amo, construction was halted for a whole month."

At this point, things seemed to be taking shape. Someone clearly did not want the Changda project to succeed, so they kept obstructing it, and as the construction continued, the tactics escalated, showing that this group wouldn’t rest until they achieved their goal.

The worker went back downstairs.

Tang Qingzhong decided to search the rooftop further, to see if he could find any traces left from the accident.

Gu Nuan wanted to urge him to let it go, considering that many people, including more professional accident investigators, had already examined the place and most likely found nothing. However, seeing Tang Qingzhong’s determined and proactive attitude, he said to her, "Whether it’s a trap or not, if we can’t find something here and return without achieving anything, what will the team leader do?"

Tang Qingzhong feared that his Group Three would be as helpless as Group One had been. When Fang Yongxing had made his confident oath to the minister to secure this project, he had written a check his group couldn’t cash.

Their Group Three had no other skill except to gnaw on the bones that others couldn’t tackle. Without even this minor advantage, they wouldn’t know how to continue existing in the company.

Butt-kissing was also what Fang Yongxing hated the most.

Thus, Gu Nuan had no choice but to thoroughly help Tang Qingzhong search.

Time ticked by, and the sky gradually darkened.

Tang Qingzhong led Gu Nuan with the intention to go downstairs. They had climbed the last flight of stairs to reach the rooftop as the elevator didn’t go all the way up.

The stairwell door was closed, and Tang Qingzhong tried to open this iron door. He turned the handle a few times, but it was clearly locked from the inside; it wouldn’t budge. This caught him by surprise. Could it be that the construction workers thought they had left and no one was on the rooftop, hence locked the door?

Gu Nuan checked her phone only to find there was no signal.

The two of them hurried over to the railing, trying to call out to anyone below for help. Gazing down from the rooftop, possibly because it was dark and the construction site had closed for the day, there was no movement below, only a truck used to transport building materials parked on the side.

A chill ran down Tang Qingzhong’s back.

Despite it being summer, the wind on the rooftop was strong, and if they were trapped here all night, they would really suffer from the cold wind and could actually fall ill. Moreover, they didn’t know when others would discover them trapped there.

Changda Design Subdivision

Sister Yao directed her assistant to tidy up the materials that had been presented to Chen Jiaming on the table while simultaneously answering a phone call.

When Zhan Dapeng walked in, Sister Yao looked up and saw him. She promptly ended the call and greeted, "Director Zhan."

Zhan Dapeng was the head of Changda Engineering Design Department.

"I heard Chairman Chen visited your place today?" Zhan Dapeng casually picked up some material from her table that seemed to have just been reviewed by Chen Jiaming.

Nodding, Sister Yao said, "Chairman Chen came this morning. He looked over some materials and then left. He mentioned it was a routine work inspection by the company’s directors."

"Does he understand engineering? Does he know design?" a hint of ridicule emerged on Zhan Dapeng’s face.

Everyone else had left, and now in Sister Yao’s personal office, there were only the two of them. Sister Yao gave a bitter smile, "Chairman Chen doesn’t come from a design background. But he brought people from the design institute with him."
