My buildings have attributes

"Holy crap... I don't think I ate lunch."

It was only then that Chen Ling realized he had been playing games all day and hadn't felt hungry at all, so he hadn't eaten lunch.

In fact, not only Chen Ling, but also a group of elite investigators were completely bewildered after leaving the office.

What did we do today?

Not only did he work all day without eating, but he also forgot about his mission to monitor Chen Ling and just focused on working.

Back in the investigators' office building, a group of elites wolfed down their meal before heading to the conference room for another meeting.

They needed to report on the day's events, since they weren't there to work, but to monitor Chen Ling.

"Everyone's here. Tell me about your day," the investigator's leader asked.

The group exchanged glances, and finally Liu Yuyang said with a bitter expression, "Boss, you might not believe me, but we worked wholeheartedly all day today, without even having lunch. As for the surveillance mission, we completely forgot about it. That office is practically toxic."

Chapter Twelve: Mr. Zhou, very satisfied with the house

Chen Ling was unaware that a group of elite investigators were being reprimanded by their superiors.

After finishing his meal, he returned to the company. He planned to change one of his attributes, since he was so energetic as soon as he got to the office that he forgot to eat. Over time, not only would his stomach suffer, but he would also be unable to stand it.

Soon, Chen Ling spent 10 to change the office's second-day attribute from "energetic" (+25) to "responsible" (+25).

In this way, combined with the first attribute, Chen Ling was also afraid that everyone would slack off, but it wouldn't be like today, where everyone was working like crazy, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

"Alright, that's about right." Chen Ling nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave.

The next day!

When Chen Ling arrived at the company, everyone was already working.

"Good morning, Mr. Chen!"

"Good morning, Mr. Chen!"

When everyone saw Chen Ling arrive, they all stood up to greet him.

Chen Ling nodded with a cool and aloof air and walked straight into the office.

"President Chen, the project cost for Liu Yuyang has been calculated. Here are the results."

A short while later, Chen Mengyao, the secretary, walked into Chen Ling's office with a stack of documents.

"Okay, put it here." Chen Ling nodded.

After putting down the documents, Chen Mengyao went to make tea for Chen Ling.

"I didn't expect there would be so many projects in the construction area that require talent."

Chen Ling was also a little surprised after seeing the statistics table; he hadn't expected there to be so many projects in the construction area.

A series of projects including dilapidated building renovation, road repair, sewer dredging, plaza renovation, renovation of official office buildings, underwater tunnels, warehouse reconstruction, and relocation housing communities.

Although many of these projects are not large-scale, they are long-lasting. For example, road repairs and sewer maintenance and dredging projects may not seem like individual projects, but they are numerous.

However, Chen Ling directly ruled out these projects because they didn't require much technical skill. As long as you took on the project, you could just find some people to do it. Not only would the competition be fierce, but you wouldn't make much money either.

"Damn it... The qualifications required for underwater tunnel projects are ridiculously high. My small company can't handle this."

Chen Ling was extremely interested in the underwater tunnel project; he could make a fortune from it.

Unfortunately, the small company he ran was registered under another company and did not have the qualifications to undertake underwater tunnel projects.

After looking at the projects for a long time, Chen Ling eliminated some that wouldn't make much money and were troublesome, leaving only two projects he could take on: a warehouse renovation and the construction of a resettlement housing community.

The budget for the warehouse renovation is 7000 million, and the bidding price is around 7500 million to 8000 million. If he were to submit a bid, he could bid 6000 million, and the entire project could generate a profit of over 3000 million.

The budget for the construction of the relocation housing community is 5.3 million yuan, but the official budget is only 5.5 million yuan. Moreover, the requirements and indicators for the relocation housing community are very high. As a result, the project has been announced for three months, but no company has bid for it.

To put it bluntly, this is a performance-building project and a vanity project, used for publicity.

Unfortunately, the budget for legitimate projects is too small, and the construction company isn't allowed to sell the houses. You're just building the houses and leaving, so who would be willing to do it for such a small amount of hard-earned money?

As the saying goes, people will do anything for a life-threatening job, but nobody will do anything that loses money.

However, this project was a lucrative opportunity for Chen Ling.

The budgeted cost was 5.3 million, but the cost of building the community with the system was only 2 million, resulting in a net profit of over 3.5 million.

"Go and ask Liu Yuyang to write a proposal. Our company wants to bid for the construction project of the relocation housing community, with a bid of 5.5 million yuan," Chen Ling said to Chen Mengyao.

"Okay, Mr. Chen."

A little over an hour later, Liu Yuyang had finished writing the proposal, which was very efficient.

“Very good, very efficient, I am very satisfied. Now send the proposal to the management company. Oh, right, there is one more thing I need you to do. Go to the management office of Mohe Lake and find Boss Zhou. Give him the key to his house and tell him that the renovation is finished and he can come and take a look.”

After Chen Ling signed the proposal and affixed the official seal, he let Liu Yuyang get on with his work.

"Okay, Mr. Chen."

Two hours later, Liu Yuyang found Boss Zhou.

However, he did not give the keys directly to Mr. Zhou. Instead, he told Mr. Zhou to go home and look at the house. If he was satisfied, he could pay the balance.

Without giving it much thought, Boss Zhou led Liu Yuyang directly to the new house.

"Very good, I'm very satisfied. I'll go to the bank and transfer the final payment to your boss later. You can go back now." After inspecting the new house, Boss Zhou said to Liu Yuyang with satisfaction.

"Okay, then I'll be going now."

After leaving Boss Zhou's new house, Liu Yuyang immediately took out his phone.

"Boss, a new situation has arisen. The target company renovated a new house for Mr. Zhou, who works at the Mohe Lake Management Department. I feel that there might be something wrong with this new house. I hope you can send two of your men to observe Mr. Zhou and his family and see if there are any special circumstances." Liu Yuyang reported.

"Okay, I understand. You can go ahead and get back to work."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yuyang looked at the new house on the third floor and wondered what would happen to Boss Zhou.

Chapter Thirteen: Construction Begins on the House Project

At nine o'clock in the evening, when most people have finished get off work and gone home to start their nightlife.

Inside the Jinxu City government office building, the light in one of the offices was still on.

"Boss, Madam just called to ask when you're coming back."

"Tell her not to wait for me, I still have some materials to read."

"Okay, boss."

The office door closed, and Mr. Li rubbed his temples before continuing to look at the materials in his hands.

After a while, when he flipped to the progress report of the bidding for the relocation housing community, a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

As a genuine third-generation descendant, Mr. Li is not short of money, so he does not accept gifts. When he was parachuted in as an outstanding boss in Jinxu City, he wanted to do something practical for the people.

So the first thing he did after taking office was to suppress housing prices.

Unfortunately, his idea was good, but it was actually very difficult.

Despite being the CEO, the problem is that he can't force housing prices to drop through orders; that's unrealistic.

Therefore, he planned to build a large number of relocation housing projects. Once the relocation housing communities were built, the demolition space would be vacated, and then commercial housing would be built and sold at low prices. This would have a certain effect, as developers would have no choice but to lower prices when they couldn't sell their existing commercial housing.

However, more than three months have passed, and his proposed relocation plan has still not been implemented.

Without a developer to take over, the legitimate owner can't build the house themselves, which is an awkward situation.

Mr. Li had considered increasing the budget; as long as there was money to be made, someone would always take over the project.

The problem is that the finance department is not on his side. They are very strict about the budget for the relocation housing, and what they say makes sense: according to the planned construction standards, a budget of 5.5 million is enough.

The inability to find a breakthrough was frustrating for Mr. Li.

"If all else fails, I'll have to go back up north and ask my friends for help," Mr. Li thought helplessly.

……

The next day, Mr. Li came to the office and saw an extra document on his desk.

"Hmm, someone's taken over the relocation housing project? Super God Construction Engineering Co., Ltd."

When Mr. Li saw the company name, he was speechless, because just by looking at the name, he knew it wasn't a legitimate company.

"The company's qualifications are just affiliation, and it's just a temporary construction team of thirty people? They've taken on two important projects, building roads and renovating toilets? They've never built a house before?" After reading the information about Super God Company, Boss Li was very annoyed.

It's ridiculous that such a shell company would want to take over the relocation housing project.

Could this be someone sent by a competitor, planning to collect the project payment and run away, ripping him off?

Mr. Li began to think, after all, the information from Super God Company was too misleading.

The problem is, if his competitors wanted to mess with him, they wouldn't send such a ridiculous company. At the very least, they would make the company's information look presentable and reassuring.

Mr. Li was in a dilemma. He was in a dilemma because no one was willing to take on the project, but he was even more in a dilemma because someone came along who wanted to take over the project.

"Second Uncle, could you help me look into the Super God Construction Company?"

Ultimately, Mr. Li called his second uncle, who was the investigator's superior. If Super God Company had problems, they could be found out quickly.

"Super God Construction Company? You have connections with this company."

Upon hearing the name of Super God Construction Company, Mr. Li's second uncle asked very seriously.

"No, Second Uncle, is there something wrong with this company?"

"This is a public secret, you have no right to know. Tell me, why do you want me to investigate Super God Construction Company?"

"Second Uncle, this is what happened..."

Mr. Li explained that Super God Construction Company was going to take over the relocation housing project, and then expressed his concerns.

"Okay... wait for my call."

Half an hour later, Mr. Li received a phone call.

"Hand over the relocation housing project to Super God Company. You don't need to worry about anything else. Even if there are problems with the relocation housing project, it has nothing to do with you. The investigators have taken over the matter now, and Jinxu City only needs to be responsible for allocating funds."

"Thank you, Second Uncle."
