Stepmother: I Am Asked To Give A Kidney To My Half-Brother-Chapter 37

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zhou Feng, who had been exposed, was not embarrassed. He said confidently, “Right, I have no money.”

“How honest,”?Lu Ming thought.

He had a good impression of Zhou Feng. “I need you to infiltrate the construction team and check if the materials meet industry standards and the reasons. Can you do it?”

“No problem!”

Zhou Feng said readily, “The deposit is 50 thousand yuan.”

Lu Ming transferred the money to him on the spot and said, “If you don’t give yourself away, I’ll give you another 200 thousand yuan.”

Zhou Feng’s eyes lit up when he heard the money. “Boss, you’re really rich! Do you have a mine at home?”

“No mines, just a few companies.”

Lu Ming said seriously.

Zhou Feng clicked his tongue in wonder. “Just a few companies? As expected of a big boss.”

Lu Ming raised his eyebrows but did not say anything.

The two of them reached an agreement at last.

The next day.

The studio apartments that the Lu Corporation was constructing were half built.

A new member joined the construction team suddenly.

The construction workers had thought that young people these days would get tired of the job after trying it out. They did not expect the new member to be so hardworking. He was even faster than veterans like them.

“Little Zhou, are you joining us for lunch?”

An older man asked the busy young man.

Zhou Feng wiped his sweat and said, “No! I brought some food this morning. Go have your lunch!”

“Alright!”

When he was alone at the construction site, he straightened up.

He did not like working on a construction site. He had only been working for a short while, but he was already drenched in sweat.

He took a wet towel from his pocket and wiped his hands.

Then he looked around. After ensuring that no one was around, he picked up a bottle of water and entered an apartment.

The tiles in each room were already laid. He unscrewed the cap of the bottle and poured the water on the tiles. The water flowed over them immediately, leaving obvious traces.

“No way!”?he thought.

“Even the tiles are of inferior quality?”

Zhou Feng knocked on the floor. The sound was very heavy.

It was really as he had thought.

So he went up to the roof that had yet to be built. When he saw the color of the cement, he immediately took a photo.

He thought that the color was so dark that there must be a lot of impurities in the mixture.

Just as he was humming, a voice almost startled him into dropping his phone onto the cement.

“What are you doing?”

Zhou Feng turned around and said with a smile, “I’m new here. I just want to take a picture of the scenery here.”

“Scenery?”

A man in a blue hat walked over and looked down. Other than flat ground, there were only weeds. “What is there to see?” he thought.

“Your aesthetics are really strange.”

Zhou Feng laughed dryly. He wondered why the Lu Corporation had built studio apartments in the wilderness!

Blue Hat reminded him, “You’d better be careful. Don’t become disabled at such a young age.”

“What do you mean?”

Zhou Feng perceived that he was alluding to something.

Blue Hat seemed to have noted a problem with his own words and quickly said, “I didn’t say anything. Just pretend you never heard this.”

Zhou Feng skillfully thumped him with his arm and took out a pack of Chunghwa cigarettes. He offered him a cigarette and took another for himself. “There’s no one here. Even if you say it, no one will hear you.”

Blue Hat hesitated for a few seconds, then took the cigarette and said, “I only said that because someone here fell off the roof in the middle of the night because he was too tired.

I don’t know what the higher-ups were doing, but they wanted us to finish sooner. If we didn’t start work in the middle of the night, this month’s work would be wasted. ”

Zhou Feng’s hand almost trembled. The cigarette was gone.

“No one reported such a big incident?!”?he wondered.

“He died just like that? Didn’t his family come to cause trouble?”

Blue Hat puffed out rings of smoke and said, “Why didn’t they come to cause trouble? The higher-ups came to chase them away. Then the strangest thing happened. The victim’s family met with a car accident on the way back! It was untimely.”

“Anyone would think that there was something fishy going on!”?Zhou Feng thought.

He asked softly, “Was it the Lu Corporation?”

“I suspect so too.”

Blue Hat lowered his voice and said, “Word had it that the truck driver was drunk. There were four people in the rented vehicle, including the driver. The wife and brother were dead.

In the end, the daughter of the person who fell off the building survived and is still lying in the hospital. It was said that she might become a vegetable.”

Zhou Feng felt as if he had discovered some earth-shattering secret.

He asked, “Do you know the name of the person who fell?”

Blue Hat thought for a while. “I remember it was… Li Rong!”

He looked left and right and said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear, “You’d better not come here. This place is very dangerous. Previously, there were a few who almost fell down. They said that it was an evil spirit causing trouble. Those people were so scared that they went straight home.”

No wonder Zhou Feng was hired without an interview when he came over.

So it was because the construction team had a shortage of workers.

“Alright, I understand. I’ll leave immediately.”

Blue Hair nodded.

After Zhou Feng returned to his workplace, the people who were having lunch had also returned.

While he was working, a middle-aged man wearing a red hat walked over. “Are you a local?”

He nodded. The person in front of him was the contractor of the apartment. He was the one who recruited him.

“Are you used to the work here? We need to work overtime recently. If you can stay, try to stay.”

The contractor placed his hands behind his back, looking like a big boss.

Zhou Feng blurted out, “Is there overtime pay?”

The head contractor clicked his tongue unhappily. “Young people should be striving hard. You should strive for your ideals, not money. This world needs idealistic young people!”

“Familiar unrealistic talk,”?Zhou Feng thought.

His words were not practical at all.

Ordinary young men would have definitely lowered their heads in acquiesce.

But Zhou Feng was different.

“I don’t know if this world needs aspiring youths. I only know that I need money. I can’t even live without money, so why are you talking about ideals with me?”

The contractor choked.

The two of them just looked at each other.

Neither wanted to back down.

The foreman narrowed his eyes and threatened, “Aren’t you afraid that I will fire you?”

“The streets are full of construction workers carrying bricks. This is not even a sought after job.”

Zhou Feng said firmly.

The contractor’s tone softened a little when he saw that he was ready to jump ship.

“As long as you work hard, I’ll definitely give you all the overtime pay.”

“When the time comes?

When?”

Zhou Feng thought this was still empty talk.

“When did the Lu Corporation become so poor?”

He thought to himself.
