“Quick! Open the warehouse quickly!”The minor official of the engineering department glared at the person-in-charge of the construction site.

“Oh! Oh!”At this point, the person-in-charge of the construction site had no choice but to open the door.

Soon, the door of the warehouse was opened, and in front of him was a mess of broken things. These things included scaffolding, garbage cans, and some things that emitted a foul smell. It was unknown what they were.

These junk were piled up messily. It was annoying to look at them.

“What are these things?”Jiang Fei frowned.

“The workers’bedding…”the site manager said.

“Even a garbage dump is cleaner than this, right? What is going on?”Jiang Fei asked.

“This… because the higher-ups did not give us the relevant funds, these bedding were brought by the workers themselves. As you know, during the financial crisis a while ago, it was good that these poor people did not die. They sold everything in their homes. The only things that could not be sold were these things…”the site manager said through gritted teeth.

“No funds? How is that possible? I personally approved it. Anita, did you not send it to the finance department?”Jiang Fei turned around and asked.

“Boss, I sent it. The funds from the finance department have also been allocated,”Anita replied.

“What’s Going On?”Jiang Fei looked at the small official from the engineering department.

“…”the small official from the engineering department was speechless at this moment. His entire body was trembling.

“Say it. Don’t make me waste my time!”Jiang Fei said coldly.

“Sir! Sir, please spare my life!”The low-ranking official kneeled in front of Jiang Fei.

“Say it!”Jiang Fei glared at him.

“Yes! Yes!”The low-ranking official’s defense line had already collapsed. Therefore, when Jiang Fei asked, he immediately told him everything that he knew.

In fact, Jiang Fei had already guessed most of what the little official said. It was nothing more than corruption. This kind of thing was not news in the three-dimensional world. On the contrary, there was an absolutely clean government, that was news.

It was similar to the problem of corruption in the three-dimensional world. Once this kind of thing was made known, it was not an isolated case. It was impossible for an official to be corrupt because he did not dare to. After all, there was no such thing as an airtight wall in the world, it was almost impossible for corruption to last for long.

Only by being corrupt from top to bottom could an alliance of offense and defense be established. If no one was clean, then they would naturally wipe each other’s butts. No one was worried that someone would report it.

In a bureaucratic system, if everyone was an honest official, then even if someone wanted to be corrupt, he would not dare. On the contrary, in a bureaucratic system where everyone was a corrupt official, even an honest official could not survive.

After all, we are all corrupt. If you are not corrupt, what do you mean? Are you trying to report US FOR MERITORIOUS SERVICE? If we don’t take care of you, how are we going to survive?

Therefore, in a corrupt bureaucratic system, the final outcome of an upright official was either he was corrupted and colluded with other corrupt officials, or he was bullied to death by other corrupt colleagues.

The bureaucrats in the engineering department were no exception. These people were rotten from top to bottom. The amount of money that Jiang Fei had approved had been exploited by them layer by layer. It would be good if only one-third of the money was left at the construction site.

“HMPH!”Jiang Fei snorted coldly, then, he said to the small official kneeling on the ground, “Because the construction of the Life Extension Center can not be delayed, I’m giving you all a chance. Remember, this is your only chance. Go back and make it clear to those bastards. If you give me any more trouble, don’t blame me for not being polite!”

“Thank you, sir! Thank you, Sir!”The officer kneeling on the ground thanked him profusely.

“I will not pursue the matter of how much you took before. But remember, the life extension center is not an ordinary project. If there is a quality problem because of your corruption, I promise that you will beg me to hang you. Because that will be the true freedom of Happiness For You!”Jiang Fei said with a gloomy face.

“Sir, we know that we were wrong. We do not dare to be corrupt anymore! We do not dare to be corrupt anymore!”The official kneeled on the ground and kowtowed like a chicken running over broken rice.

“Get Up!”Jiang Fei nodded.

“Thank you, sir! Thank you, Sir!”When the official stood up from the ground, the clothes on his back were already soaked through.

Actually, Jiang Fei did not care about the lives of these officials at all. However, since things had already happened, he had to deal with it. Moreover, as he had said, he did not want to waste any more time, therefore, the construction of the Life Extension Center could not be stopped. He did not have the time to change the officials of the engineering department.

“Let’s go in and take a look,”said Jiang Fei as he walked in. As there was a problem as soon as he entered the door, it was only natural for Jiang Fei to go in and take a closer look.

Soon, Jiang Fei walked around the entire warehouse. As he had expected, the equipment that had been cleared out of the Life Extension Center was all here. However, the equipment was severely deformed. Some of them had even been damaged, moreover, these equipment were very valuable. Therefore, after being damaged, they were obviously useless.

“Other than these things, is there anything else that has been excavated?”Jiang Fei asked because he had not found any information about these equipment.

“Sir, everything is here,”said the person in charge of the construction site.

“Yes! Let’s go.”Jiang Fei nodded and left the warehouse with the group.

“Remember, I will only say this once. The Life Extension Center is not an ordinary place. It’s one thing for you to be corrupt in other places, but this is definitely not the place. If the quality of the project here is affected because of you, believe me, I will make you regret coming to this world!”Jiang Fei said, he then brought Anita back to the city hall.

“My lord, do I need to report what happened today to the Magistrate?”Anita asked on the way back.

“Forget it. It’s not easy for these small officials. I’ve already warned them. If they repent, give them a chance,”Jiang Fei said.

“Okay!”Anita nodded. Her attitude towards Jiang Fei had also changed.

Previously, Anita was a member of the consul. She would always return Jiang Fei’s every move. This was not something that could be discussed. However, ever since she started calling Jiang Fei her boss, Anita had become less loyal to the consul.

Jiang Fei’s continuous care of her had shown results. Anita’s attitude had started to shift towards Jiang Fei. For example, she had started to ask Jiang Fei if she wanted to report what had happened today, apparently, Anita no longer saw the consul as her boss. Instead, she saw Jiang Fei as her boss.

After returning to the city hall, Jiang Fei saw that he had nothing to do today, so he left work early for Anita. The way he took care of Anita was not only because he wanted to help Anita, but also because he wanted to give her more time to fall in love, there was no lack of bribing involved.
