Chapter 2369 - 2362: Dongyan in Trouble
Han Shasha wouldn’t come looking for Wang Dadong for no reason. She’s with the media, and if she’s looking for Wang Dadong, it must be because the media has received some negative news about Dongyan Construction Company, which is why Wang Dadong is so concerned.
"I’ve booked a spot at the Migratory Bird Western Restaurant. Come over now, and we’ll talk while we eat," Han Shasha said excitedly.
She had long wanted to interview Wang Dadong, but unfortunately, interviewing him was too difficult.
This guy is often like Shenlong — seen at the head but not the tail.
This time, finally, there’s a chance.
Wang Dadong had just eaten steak, and honestly didn’t feel like going, but he wanted to know what issue the construction company was facing, so he took a taxi there.
"Hey, Uncle, over here!" As soon as he entered the restaurant, he heard Han Shasha calling him.
"When did I become an uncle again..." Wang Dadong glanced at the beautiful anchor sitting in the couple’s booth.
Today’s beautiful anchor was wearing a beige dress with delicate light makeup, looking quite pretty.
"When did I become an uncle again..." Wang Dadong was speechless.
"Hehe, Uncle just sounds smoother," Han Shasha said with a playful smile.
Wang Dadong shook his head helplessly, this girl is so different from her serious demeanor as seen on TV.
During live broadcasts on TV, she’s an untouchable goddess.
Now, she’s like the girl next door.
Wang Dadong sat down at the seat.
"Uncle, what do you want to eat? I’ll treat you," Han Shasha said enthusiastically.
"No need, I’ve just eaten. Tell me, what’s going on?" Wang Dadong wanted to get straight to the point.
Unfortunately, Han Shasha wouldn’t give him the opportunity, pouting, "Many people are dying to have dinner with a beautiful anchor like me, are you really in such a hurry?"
"Uh... well, let’s order some dishes first."
Wang Dadong had no choice but to order another steak.
While the two were eating steak, Han Shasha finally began to speak: "Uncle, this issue is quite serious, so you need to be mentally prepared."
"Here’s the thing, our TV station has gathered quite a bit of information about Dongyan Construction Company. Once this information is made public, Dongyan Construction Company might have to shut down for rectification immediately, and there’s even a risk of being sealed," she said.
Wang Dadong was taken aback, "What is it?"
"Someone has exposed that Dongyan Construction Company is cutting corners during house construction!"
Wang Dadong immediately responded, "That’s impossible. Our Dongyan Construction Company has always prioritized engineering quality, even at a loss to ourselves, we would never do such a thing."
"At first, I didn’t believe it either, but after multiple undercover inspections, we’ve discovered that there is indeed a situation where corners are being cut at Dongyan Construction Company. The station chief hasn’t made this news public yet, hoping to see your reaction, and if you can offer enough money, this matter won’t be exposed on TV," Han Shasha explained.
Wang Dadong’s face darkened, and he immediately called Yong Limei.
To assist Wang Dadong’s work, Lin Shiyan had lent Yong Limei to him, doubling as the vice-president of Dongyan Construction Company, helping Wang Dadong manage some affairs of the company.
After all, Wang Dadong, the actual president, is somewhat hands-off.
Of course, the main focus is still on the work of Shiyan Group.
Upon hearing Wang Dadong’s voice, Yong Limei felt quite happy, but soon she realized Wang Dadong’s tone seemed a bit off.
"Dadong, has something happened?" Yong Limei asked softly.
"Little Yong, I just want to ask you one thing, is there any situation where corners are being cut in engineering at Dongyan Construction Company?"
Yong Limei immediately replied, "Rest assured, everything is conducted according to your standards. Regarding materials, we definitely use the best, and there’s absolutely no deliberate cutting corners."
Hearing Yong Limei say this, Wang Dadong’s tone softened a lot, "Little Yong, you need to head to the Moonlight Stone construction site right now; we’ll meet at the entrance."
Though not knowing why Wang Dadong was in such a hurry to go to the site, Yong Limei didn’t think much of it, she immediately headed to Moonlight Stone.
A half-hour later, Wang Dadong and Yong Limei met at the Moonlight Stone construction site.
"Dadong, what’s happened?" Yong Limei asked slightly worried.
Wang Dadong didn’t say much, directly leading Yong Limei into the construction site.
Dongyan Construction Company’s engineering speed has always been very fast. In just a few months, the first phase of Moonlight Stone’s building has already been built up to more than a dozen floors.
Without saying much, Wang Dadong directly punched a load-bearing wall, causing the building to shake violently, as if it were about to collapse.
"Did you see? The bricks in the load-bearing wall are hollow."
Wang Dadong then summoned Fighting Sword, slicing through a concrete pillar, revealing the steel reinforcement inside, which was slimmer than a little finger.
Seeing this scene, Yong Limei’s expression changed, "What’s going on? Our requirement was for steel with a diameter of two centimeters, how did it become this thin!"
Wang Dadong, with a grim face, said, "You ask me what’s going on, I want to ask you."
The bricks on the first floor are hollow, the steel bars of the load-bearing wall are as thin as a little finger, and the thickness of the concrete slab is far below the minimum standard.
Such houses may look no different from regular buildings on the surface, but if an earthquake occurs, even just a moderate one, there’s a risk of collapse.
Wang Dadong’s face grew very dark. He always instructs Yong Limei that even if the engineering doesn’t make money, there shouldn’t be any cutting corners. Yet it seems this entire building is full of evidence of corner-cutting.
"I don’t know, I’m just busy signing papers and reviewing contracts, not directly involved in the specific engineering operations," Yong Limei said, sweating on her forehead, finally understanding why Wang Dadong’s voice sounded so grim on the phone earlier.
"Little Yong, I’ll be honest with you, this issue has already reached the TV station and could be exposed at any time. You know, in this business, once exposed, it means doom. Though this isn’t a big deal for Shiyan Group, I don’t want to disappoint President Lin, do you understand?"
"I understand..."
"Then tell me, who is responsible for this project?"
"It’s Zhou Li Ping," Yong Limei replied.
Wang Dadong frowned, "Zhou Li Ping? Isn’t she just responsible for managing construction equipment?"
"You might not know, Zhou Li Ping has a great talent for construction. The company even spent money to send her abroad for training, and after returning, she became the project manager for the company," Yong Limei explained.
Wang Dadong nodded, "I believe Zhou Li Ping wouldn’t do such a thing, call her over."
Wang Dadong understands Zhou Li Ping’s character, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been specifically brought to work at Dongyan Construction Company.
Upon receiving Yong Limei’s notice, Zhou Li Ping rushed over immediately.
When Zhou Li Ping learned why Wang Dadong sought her out, she immediately frowned, saying, "That’s impossible, Dongyan has always chosen the best materials, with dedicated personnel supervising construction—there’s absolutely no way corners are being cut."
