Chapter 558
“Twopanies are in charge of Area One—Serenity Group and Ditto Group. The person in charge
of Serenity Group''s construction team is Ianto Jarlberg. He used to be part of the underground
circles in Pollerton. The person in charge of Ditto Group''s construction team is Bo Jasek, who
graduated overseas. Both construction teams often got into minor conflicts. Today, Bo
discovered Ianto''s team didn''t carry out the reinforcement construction as specified and refused to
pour the concrete. They are currently engaged in a fight.”
To enhance the stability of a high-rise building, reinforcing bars and concrete would usually be used
as its main structure.
Since concrete was cheap and only cost a few hundred for a huge sack, no one would try to
substitute it for subpar materials.
However, it was different for reinforcing bars. The price for reinforcing bars depended on their
weight. One could save a lot of money if one were to cut down ten reinforcing bars per floor.
Hence, many project managers preferred hiring experienced construction workers not because they
were good at their job but because they knew the unspoken rules of the construction site.
For example, if a particr floor needed over four hundred reinforcing bars ording to the
blueprint, the construction workers would only use around three hundred reinforcing bars tacitly.
They would then bribe the supervisor to pour the concrete over the structure so that no one would
realize what they had done. The project manager and other higher-ups could divide the remaining
money between them this way.
Ianto''s team consisted of such construction workers. He had also bribed thepany''s supervisor.
It was a done deal, and all there was left to do was to pour concrete over the structure.
However, Bo refused to do so as the person in charge of concrete.
Ianto did his best to convince Bo to change his mind and even offered him a bribe, but thetter
insisted on doing things ording to the blueprint.
Assuming Bo was deliberately making things difficult for him, Ianto started a fight with Bo and
his men.
When Jennifer arrived at the site with the rest, Bo''s men were knocked down and couldn''t get to
their feet. Ianto was stepping on Bo''s chest as he dered, “Young man, you''re no match for
me. My brother-inw is the executive director of Serenity Group. Who are you? You''re just a nerd.
If you admit your mistake, I shall spare your life.”
Bo''s face was squished under Ianto''s foot, but he clenched his jaw and eximed, “It was your
fault for not following the blueprint. I won''t allow my men to pour the concrete.”
“Oh, you''re stubborn, huh? Okay, then. I like stubborn people like you. I''ll break your leg. Let''s see if
you can remain this stubborn!”

Ianto grabbed a metal bar by his side. Seeing that, Jennifer rushed forward and called out, “Stop!”
Holding the metal bar in his hand, Ianto froze in his tracks when he spotted Jennifer. He had seen
many pretty girls but rarely someone as gorgeous as Jennifer.
“Gorgeous, who are you?”
“Ianto! This is Ms. Jennifer Wilson. Hurry, put down the metal bar!”
“Oh, Ms. Wilson.” Ianto tossed the metal bar aside and walked to Jennifer with a flirtatious
expression on his face. “I heard that our group''s CEO is a gorgeousdy, but your beauty exceeded
my expectations. Ms. Wilson, are you interested in having dinner with me tonight?”
Jennifer''s voice was stern. “Filbert told me what happened on the way here. As the person in
charge of the reinforcing bars, how could you disregard the blueprint and construct as you wish? Do
you know the consequences of cutting corners?”
As Jennifer was obviously here to confront him, Ianto''s smile disappeared. He dusted himself and
replied, “Ms. Wilson, you''re the CEO, so you might not know much about construction. The
reinforcing bars and concrete stated in the blueprint are actually more than the actual required
quantity. Thus, even if we were to use lesser reinforcing bars, it wouldn''t affect the building''s
structure.”
