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

The Jinshuiwan construction site was already bustling with activity as soon as the sun rose in the morning.

Wang Qiang felt no warmth at all.

His helmet didn't fit him properly, and the red volunteer armband on his arm made him feel uncomfortable all over.

Wang Qiang stood at the intersection, waving his arms expressionlessly to direct the construction vehicles. Not far away, some of his men were picking up cigarette butts on the lawn, while others were pouring cold tea for the workers at the tea pavilion. They all looked dejected and dared not utter a sound.

Everyone seemed to have lost their souls, feeling aggrieved but not daring to say anything.

Wang Qiang felt he couldn't take it anymore.

The physical labor was a minor issue; the main problem was the mental anguish. Every day, he had to sign documents as a volunteer supervisor.

Once he signed his name, the weight of responsibility pressed down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

"Director Wang, thank you for your hard work!"

Guo Xiaojun walked over at some point, his attitude very respectful, holding a document in his hand.

"This is the pressure test record for the fire protection pipeline in the core area. According to regulations, we need you to confirm it. You have enough experience, and we will only feel at ease if you have reviewed it."

Wang Qiang's eyelids twitched. He took the document, looked at the data, and felt dizzy. He knew very well that he was trapped; the pressure of supervision and responsibility was almost unbearable.

He had to find a way to get out of this place.

Just then, a truck loaded with traffic cones drove up and stopped a short distance away. Several workers jumped off the truck and began unloading them.

Wang Qiang's eyes lit up when he saw the orange-red traffic cones.

The opportunity is here.

He strode over, shoved aside a worker who was about to bend down, and said gruffly, "You're too slow, I'll do it!"

After saying that, Wang Qiang deliberately adopted an awkward posture, picked up the heaviest traffic cone, and then exerted a sudden strain on his waist.

"what!"

A scream.

The heavy traffic cone fell to the ground with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Wang Qiang then collapsed to the ground. He pressed his hands tightly against his lower back, beads of sweat immediately appearing on his forehead, and cried out in pain, "Ouch... my back... my back feels like it's broken... I can't move, call an ambulance!"

The scene fell silent immediately.

Everyone was stunned. The workers carrying things, the people picking up trash in the distance, and Guo Xiaojun, who had just handed over the documents, all stared dumbfounded at the scene.

A safety accident occurred at the construction site, and the director of the Municipal Safety Supervision Bureau was injured!

"Chief!"

"Director Wang! What's wrong?"

Wang Qiang's close associates were the first to react, scrambling over to surround him, their faces filled with anxiety.

The atmosphere instantly became tense. Guo Xiaojun's heart skipped a beat; he knew this was troublesome. Regardless of whether Wang Qiang's injuries were real or feigned, the fact that he was lying there made it difficult for Director Chen to clarify the situation.

The news quickly reached the command center on the second floor.

Everyone thought Chen Pingfang would panic and immediately think of ways to shirk responsibility.

But Chen Ping suddenly stood up, his face full of anxiety and concern. He threw down the documents, rushed downstairs, and headed straight for the scene of the accident.

"Get out of the way! Everyone get out of the way!"

Chen Ping pushed through the crowd and rushed to Wang Qiang's side, his voice loud and trembling: "Director Wang! Please don't move! Please don't move!"

He crouched down and yelled at Guo Xiaojun, who was standing beside him, completely terrified, "Where's the ambulance! Contact the best hospital in the city immediately! Who contacted it? Get it as fast as you can!"

Chen Pingfang's performance left everyone present stunned.

Wang Qiang's men looked at each other in bewilderment. They had expected Chen Pingfang to be indifferent, to shirk responsibility, and to be nervous, but they never expected him to be even more anxious than they were. He acted as if the person who had collapsed was a family member.

Wang Qiang, lying on the ground, was about to groan a few more times when he caught sight of Chen Pingfang's eyes, which were filled with concern. His heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling crept over him.

Something is wrong!

This development is not right!

He sensed that things were no longer under his control.

The piercing sirens of the ambulance grew louder as it approached, and it arrived quickly.

Medical staff rushed over with a stretcher.

"Be careful! Slow down! Keep it steady!" Chen Pingfang stepped forward personally, even more attentive than the family members, carefully directing the medical staff to lift Wang Qiang onto the stretcher.

Just as the car door was about to close, Chen Ping stepped forward and tightly grasped Wang Qiang's hand, which wasn't receiving an IV drip.

He turned around and, facing all the workers, project staff, and inspection team members, said loudly in a tone filled with gratitude and profound sorrow:

"Director Wang!"

"You disregarded your own health and personally came to the front line to guide the work for our Jinshuiwan project, and now you've collapsed at your post due to exhaustion!"

"Your selfless dedication is an example for all of us and a model for all cadres in Yunzhou!"

"All staff members of the Jinshuiwan project team will forever remember your contributions!"

These words, spoken loudly and clearly, reached everyone's ears.

After speaking, Chen Pingfang looked at the dazed deputy team leader next to Wang Qiang and solemnly announced, "Director Wang, please rest assured and recover! We will carry on your spirit! Deputy Team Leader Zhang will take over the subsequent guidance work! Our project team will fully cooperate and live up to Director Wang's hard work!"

"Buzz!"

As Wang Qiang lay on the stretcher, his mind went blank.

His expression of pain froze, and his face turned deathly pale.

Role model? Exemplar? Injured on duty?

Chen Ping's words had him firmly pinned down, unable to utter even a simple "I'm fine." If he dared to admit now that he was faking it, it wouldn't just be losing his job, but deceiving the organization, and he'd be completely finished.

Wang Qiang finally understood. The escape plan he devised had been used by Chen Ping, completely sealing his fate.

The remaining members of the inspection team watched this scene, then looked at Chen Pingfang's "grief" face, and their last shred of hope vanished. They finally understood that from the moment they entered this construction site, they weren't there to inspect; they were there to be dealt with.

The ambulance drove away with its lights flashing, carrying Wang Qiang, who was completely finished.

Chen Ping turned around.

The moment he turned around, the anxiety and grief on his face vanished, and he returned to his usual self, as if the performance had never happened.

He looked at the demoralized inspection team members and the bewildered Deputy Team Leader Zhang, and said calmly:

"Everyone has worked hard. Director Wang collapsed from exhaustion because of our project, so we can't let our guard down. Deputy Team Leader Zhang, let's continue working."

Deputy Team Leader Zhang shuddered, exchanged glances with the other team members, and saw resignation in each other's eyes. They lowered their heads in unison, their previous arrogance gone, completely reduced to the most obedient vassals on this construction site.
