After breaking up with my boyfriend, I made a fortune and rose rapidly in my career.

At the construction site in Jinshui Bay, excavators have already started working.

Chen Ping stood on the second-floor terrace of the command post, holding an enamel mug in his hand, looking at the bustling scene below, but his brows were furrowed.

"Call all the team leaders from each work area over for a meeting."

Chen Ping said to his assistant beside him.

A short while later, several work area supervisors, their foreheads covered in sweat, rushed in.

"One copy for each person." Chen Pingfang handed them a stack of photocopied white papers, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"From today onwards, this will be the rule of our construction site. We will arrange for everyone to study it and strictly abide by every clause. Anyone who thinks this is useless can get out of here as soon as possible."

The foremen, looking at the white paper with its stricter clauses than the national standards, were having second thoughts. But seeing Chen Pingfang's face, they didn't dare say a word and could only nod repeatedly.

After distributing the documents, Chen Ping went to inspect the construction site.

When he reached the third work area, he paused for a moment.

Several workers tying steel bars looked unfamiliar. Although they were wearing work clothes, their movements were very clumsy, and their eyes kept unconsciously glancing at the electrical distribution box and the connection point of the scaffolding not far away. When they noticed Chen Pingfang's gaze sweeping over them, they immediately lowered their heads in a panic, and their hands moved a little faster, but they couldn't hide their panic.

Chen Ping felt relieved, said nothing, and turned to go somewhere else.

At 10 a.m., just as the construction site was bustling with activity, a sharp screech of brakes suddenly rang out.

More than a dozen law enforcement vehicles bearing the names of safety supervision, environmental protection, and construction management, with their warning lights flashing, drove in and completely blocked all the entrances and exits of the Jinshuiwan project.

The car door slammed open, and Wang Qiang, the director of the Municipal Safety Supervision Bureau, was the first to jump out. He was in his forties, very strong, with a dark face, followed by more than fifty uniformed and fully equipped law enforcement officers.

Wang Qiang, his face dark, rushed straight to the construction site gate, snatched the walkie-talkie from the security guard, and pressed the call button inside, speaking loudly:

"The city's joint inspection team is on urgent business! Everyone must immediately cease work and remain on standby! All communication devices, including mobile phones and walkie-talkies, must be handed over for safekeeping. Anyone who dares to conceal any will be treated as obstructing official duties!"

The order was relayed to every corner of the construction site via walkie-talkie.

The machines suddenly stopped.

The workers were stunned. Before they could react, a group of law enforcement officers rushed in, carrying collection boxes and demanding that each of them hand over their cell phones. Even the old village secretary, who was directing traffic, was roughly shoved by a young officer and forced into a corner.

More than fifty law enforcement officers lined up and quickly divided the huge construction site into several sections. The workers were ordered to stay in place, not to speak or move.

This kind of direct, closed-off inspection method was something no one had ever seen before. The atmosphere on the scene immediately froze, making people feel very oppressed.

Wang Qiang walked around the construction site with his hands behind his back, exuding an air of importance. But no matter how he looked at it, everything, from the stacking of materials to the erection of safety nets, was neat and tidy, and there was nothing wrong with it.

His expression grew increasingly grim.

As Wang Qiang approached a worker who was standing there in a daze under the scaffolding, his eyes turned cold. He pulled a measuring tape out of his pocket, snapped it open, and began to measure it against the worker's hard hat.

"The helmet is off-center by three degrees! The brim is more than five millimeters too far from the brow bone!" Wang Qiang abruptly pulled back his measuring tape, pointed at the worker's nose, and sneered, "This is a provincial pilot project? I think it's a complete mess, riddled with serious safety hazards!"

The worker who was being yelled at was startled and stood there, unsure of what to do. The law enforcement officers nearby all wore expressions of amusement.

Just then, a calm voice came from behind the crowd.

"Director Wang."

Everyone turned around and saw Chen Pingfang push through the crowd and slowly walk over. His face was expressionless and he was very calm.

He walked up to Wang Qiang, holding a document in his hand, and handed it to him with both hands.

"Director Wang, thank you for your hard work. Since this is a surprise inspection, let's proceed according to the strictest standards of Jinshui Bay." Chen Pingfang's tone was calm, yet it carried an aura that left people speechless. "This is our project's 'Green Construction Standards White Paper,' which clearly stipulates the angle for wearing safety helmets and even the torque of a single screw. You are the expert, so please proceed."

Wang Qiang's facial muscles twitched. He hadn't expected Chen Ping to not plead for him, but instead present him with an even bigger problem. He took the thick white paper, flipped through a few pages, and his expression changed several times. The standards inside were several times stricter than the inspection regulations he had brought.

Using this standard to investigate? If they find a problem, it means their safety supervision bureau's standards are useless. If they find nothing, isn't it just making them a laughingstock by bringing so many people here today?

Wang Qiang felt his face burning, caught in a dilemma. A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and he secretly winked at the new workers in the third work area.

One of the new workers immediately understood. He quietly moved closer to a newly poured support beam. His hand was already on the wrench at his waist, ready to secretly loosen a few key fasteners while everyone's attention was on Chen Pingfang.

If the fasteners loosen, this scaffolding will immediately become a dangerous structure, posing a serious safety hazard.

Just as the worker's hand was about to touch the fastener, Chen Pingfang's voice rang out again, not loud, but clearly reaching everyone's ears.

He pointed to a rotating white spherical camera on a pillar not far away and said to Wang Qiang:

"Oh, right, Director Wang, I forgot to report to you. According to the white paper, in order to manage things more thoroughly, we installed high-definition surveillance cameras on the construction site, with no blind spots. All the footage is connected to the command center and the city's data center 24 hours a day. If your people accidentally discover or touch anything during an inspection, the surveillance will record all the details."

The new worker, who was about to start working, suddenly froze, his hand recoiled as if he had been electrocuted, the wrench clattered to the ground, and his face turned pale instantly.

Suddenly, no one spoke.

Wang Qiang looked in the direction Chen Ping was pointing and saw that there was a similar high-definition monitoring PTZ camera every few dozen meters on the construction site, with red indicator lights flashing and pointing directly at them.

His expression shifted rapidly, finally becoming extremely ugly. He felt as if he had brought not fifty-odd law enforcement officers, but fifty-odd clowns staging a farce under the watchful eyes of so many cameras.

He wanted to get angry, but couldn't find a reason. He wanted to leave, but felt ashamed, and even more so, he couldn't explain it to Secretary Zhou.

After a standoff lasting more than a minute, Wang Qiang squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth:

"The fact that no major problems can be found means you're hiding them well!"

He stared intently at Chen Pingfang and said, enunciating each word clearly, "From now on, the joint inspection team will work right here! If we don't find anything wrong in one day, we'll investigate for two days! If we still don't find anything wrong, we won't leave!"

After saying that, he abruptly flung his hand away, turned around, and walked towards the makeshift prefab house. His back view was full of resentment.

The news was relayed back to the municipal party committee immediately.
