At this moment, after hearing Jiang Bei's words, Xiao Feng felt that it was even more outrageous than the previous shoddy workmanship.

The shoddy workmanship had already infuriated Xiao Feng, and he had to deal with it severely.

And now, I'm hearing that familiar yet hated name again.

Zhou Ping!

Zhou Ping was indeed Xiao Feng's old classmate, and Xiao Feng had always remembered him.

What Xiao Feng never expected was that this guy was still alive and had even become the deputy general manager of a branch of Polaris's subsidiary.

Xiao Feng absolutely could not tolerate this.

Isn't this practically offering itself up for us?

The reason Xiao Feng hadn't gone to find him before was because he mistakenly believed that Zhou Ping had disappeared the moment he was taken away a few years ago.

After all, Zhou Ping had offended a big shot in the jade business.

So Xiao Feng didn't think about it any further and had long since put the matter out of his mind.

But no one expected that this guy would still be alive and well, and even use his power to become a vice president.

What Xiao Feng found most outrageous was Jiangbei's...

That line: "I even took a knife for you back then!"

Outrageous, simply outrageous!

Not only did they offer themselves up, but they also cut corners, pocketed their own money, and even claimed to have taken a knife for them.

It's more like being stabbed!

Okay, okay, this is real courage!

Is Zhou Ping really not afraid at all?

That makes sense, though Zhou Ping was severely punished by Xiao Feng's scheme before, but...

But Zhou Ping didn't know that Xiao Feng hated him so much, nor did he know about the things he had done in his past life.

So in Zhou Ping's mind, he just thought that Xiao Feng didn't care about their old friendship.

Zhou Ping felt that although Xiao Feng didn't care about their past relationship, he could still secretly use Xiao Feng's prestige to act arrogantly in the branch company.

Anyway, my identity as an old classmate is real and can withstand investigation.

Furthermore, taking the knife for Xiao Feng further enhanced his authority, making others afraid to even investigate.

Furthermore, Zhou Ping and Su Cong had already discussed it beforehand. They planned to make enough money in just three years and then head abroad.

Even if the shoddy construction project goes wrong, they've already gone abroad to enjoy themselves.

That's why they dared to be so bold.

What they never expected was that this matter would be discovered so early.

Of course, at this moment, Su Cong and Zhou Ping were unaware that Xiao Feng had already learned about this matter.

They were even thinking of bribing Jiangbei later.

Xiao Feng was already furious after hearing Jiang Bei's phone call.

After a brief pause, Xiao Feng's tone was icy.

"Director Jiang!"

"This matter must be thoroughly investigated immediately, strictly, severely, and swiftly."

"In addition, I will immediately send a special investigation team over there, and you will be in charge of the entire process."

"What I want is a thorough investigation, to make an example of one to deter others, and to punish the perpetrators severely!"

"Finally, I don't want to hear any more of this absurd rumor about someone taking a knife for me. I'll let Cai Xin handle this matter. In special circumstances, you'll follow Cai Xin's instructions!"

Xiao Feng's icy tone sent chills down Jiang Bei's spine even from the other end of the phone.

Jiang Bei never expected that Xiao Feng would get so angry after hearing this rumor.

Logically speaking, it's normal for someone of Xiao Feng's current status to have some rumors circulating about him occasionally, since there are often people spreading unfounded rumors online.

Some rumors were even more exaggerated than this, but Xiao Feng never bothered to pay attention to them.

After all, he is the richest man in China, so it's normal for him to have some rumors about him.

But this rumor is different.

Because it was Zhou Ping.

Xiao Feng wasn't angry about the rumor, but about Zhou Ping.

Xiao Feng's final arrangement made Jiang Bei realize that things were more serious than he had thought.

Because Cai Xin is the head of Xiao Feng's private affairs team.

This private affairs group is far more complex than it sounds; in ancient times, it would be equivalent to Xiao Feng's own Imperial Guard.

The fact that Cai Xin was sent here specifically to resolve this matter shows how much Xiao Feng takes this rumor seriously.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Bei had no more worries.

Anyway, President Xiao has already given the order, so we can go all out.

Let alone President Su's relatives, even President Xiao's own father, he would have to catch them.

"Team Leader Jiang, this is bad. It's been confirmed. The on-site inspector, Wang Hai, has completely disappeared. He's most likely absconded."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Bei showed no particular emotion on his face, and simply nodded silently.

"It's alright, he can't escape." Jiang Bei's tone was meaningful: "Besides, he's not important anymore."


After running over, the two of them immediately saw the pile of substandard building materials on the ground, coupled with Jiang Bei's cold and angry expression at the time.

There is no doubt that the inferior materials need no further explanation.

What we need now is not an explanation, but a pretext.

Su Cong maintained his composure and forced himself to speak, "Team Leader Jiang, you must have misunderstood."

"Although this batch of materials had defects, it was only a small amount, and it wasn't because we cut corners; it was all the supplier's fault."

"The supplier sent the wrong goods; they accidentally sent us a mixed batch of materials. We haven't even used them yet, and we were just about to return them."

As soon as Su Cong finished speaking, Xiao Xin, a senior quality control engineer standing next to him, immediately became unhappy and shouted angrily.

"Bullshit! I've already checked it. The current main frame, whether it's the steel bars or the cement, is made of materials that don't meet Polaris's standards."

"Moreover, the buildings I mentioned that did not meet the Polaris standard were all main buildings completed last year."

"The worst year is this year. The building materials used this year are the worst of the worst."

"In other words, the materials you're using are getting worse and worse, while you're embezzling more and more!"

"Especially these days, to put it bluntly, they're not building houses, they're building coffins."

As a senior quality control engineer at Polaris, Xiao Xin's words carry immense authority, which needs no further explanation.

Su Cong originally wanted to make excuses, but he didn't expect there to be such a professional person there.

Faced with Xiao Xin's direct rebuttal, Su Cong realized that there was no point in arguing anymore.

Because the inferior materials are clearly visible here, while the medium-quality materials used last year have already been used to build part of the main structure.

Therefore, any explanation at this moment is too weak and instead seems ridiculous.

Since there's no chance to explain, then there's no need to pretend anymore.

Su Cong first glanced at his secretary Tang Xiaoyan beside him, signaling with his eyes.

Secretary Tang Xiaoyan understood instantly.

Although they haven't completely broken ties yet, they're playing their cards right now.

After understanding the meaning, Tang Xiaoyan immediately brought up Su Cong and Zhou Ping's background, trying to put pressure on them.

"Team Leader Jiang, don't be angry. President Su and President Zhou were just confused for a moment and were greedy for a little profit."

"But President Su is, after all, a relative of Su Mingche, the president of Polaris. For President Su Mingche's sake, please give us a chance. We'll immediately rectify and make amends. Is that alright?"

"Huh?" Jiang Bei was amused by these words, and his tone became even more firm: "President Su Mingche? If it is confirmed that he knew about this, he will also be held responsible."

"Furthermore, if he was unaware of the situation, once it's confirmed that Su Cong is indeed his relative, he'll still be in deep trouble."

"At Polaris, I don't give face to anyone except President Xiao!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaoyan immediately understood and then smiled and said.

"Team Leader Jiang, what about General Manager Zhou? Our General Manager Zhou and General Manager Xiao are old classmates."

"Most importantly, President Zhou once took a knife for President Xiao. He's President Xiao's sworn brother. You wouldn't refuse him that favor, would you?"

After bringing up President Xiao, at this moment, apart from Jiang Bei, everyone else in the audit department... was wary.

After all, he took a knife for his boss.

We may disregard Su Mingche's feelings, but who dares to disregard President Xiao's?

After seeing the reactions of the other members of the audit team, Secretary Tang Xiaoyan realized that bringing up General Manager Xiao was indeed effective, so she quickly added fuel to the fire.

"President Zhou," Tang Xiaoyan then deliberately raised her voice, "show everyone the knife scars on your body, so they won't doubt it."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ping himself gained confidence.

Because he really did have several knife scars on his body.

Without saying a word, Zhou Ping immediately turned around and lifted his back.

As far as the eye could see, five knife scars were clearly visible on Zhou Ping's back.

"See this? This is the evidence that I took the knife for President Xiao back then."

"If I hadn't stood in front of him, there wouldn't be a CEO like Mr. Xiao today."

"So! I believe I don't need to elaborate on my relationship with President Xiao, right?"

Zhou Ping's confidence at this moment, coupled with his tone, made him believe it himself, as if he had truly taken a knife for Xiao Feng.

"Heh." However, Jiang Bei looked at the five knife scars on his back and snorted disdainfully.

"You? You took a knife for CEO Xiao?"

"If you had five knife scars on your stomach, maybe I could believe you."

"But those five scars on your back are clearly from when you were chasing someone and getting slashed because you were running too slowly while trying to escape."

"Where did this idea of ​​using someone as a shield come from?"

After Jiang Bei finished speaking, Zhou Ping's face instantly turned flustered, and his eyes darted around.

As if the truth had been seen through at once, she awkwardly pulled her clothes back on.

"You...you're talking nonsense!" Zhou Ping retorted stubbornly, "Is my relationship with General Manager Xiao something for a mere audit team leader like you to casually discuss?"

At that moment, when Zhou Ping uttered those words, it meant he was no longer even acting.

But if we're talking about a complete falling out, things haven't gotten to that point yet.

However, one thing is 100% certain: the background and identity of the two people, whether true or false, are of absolutely no use at this moment.

Jiangbei has made it clear that no one except President Xiao will make any difference.

At that moment, Su Cong realized that this matter was more difficult than he had imagined.

Then we'll have to resort to our last resort.

Play the revealed card directly.

After quickly weighing his options, Su Cong whispered in Jiang Bei's ear.

"Team Leader Jiang, may I speak to you in private?"

Jiang Bei, on the other hand, remained calm, not caring at all, and walked a little further with Su Cong.

Before speaking, Su Cong made sure to look around to make sure no one was nearby, in order to avoid being overheard.

Su Cong lowered his voice, his tone carrying a desperate, tentative tone, and... he directly revealed his hand.

"Team Leader Jiang, given the current situation, I believe I don't need to explain any further."

"Just name your price. How much will it take to cover this up, as if you never found these materials?"

"Anyway, money is no problem with me. Name your price."

"Just tell me, how much money do you want?"
