Chen Fang had just left Huang Ken's house.

Huang Ken's wife, Qin Haimei, came over.

She picked up the bottle and examined it closely.

"Lao Huang, why do I feel like this bottle is an antique?"

Qin Haimei asked.

Huang Ken got anxious at once.

He snatched it away.

He carefully wiped it with a towel, respectfully placed it on the table, and said, "An antique? You think he might give me an antique? If he gave me an antique, I'd hand it over to the Disciplinary Committee right away, wouldn't he be finished then? This thing, the price won't be high, but it's said a master blessed it, and it's accepted incense offerings, I believe that. There's no way a Deputy Mayor would just take a broken porcelain bottle and try to get me to do something for him, right?"

Qin Haimei heard this analysis.

And thought it made sense.

Chen Fang had just appeared on the road nearby.

A car drove up and stopped right in front of him.

The driver was Li Weiyang.

"I just can't understand why you want to give these two antiques to Huang Ken, aren't you afraid he'll report you? Besides, these items belong to Yang Pei, isn't that like walking into a trap yourself?"

Chen Fang chuckled.

He said, "I want Yang Pei to see them."

On hearing this.

Li Weiyang suddenly seemed to have an epiphany.

She said, "I get it, you deliberately said the items were in the office to let Yang Pei see them accidentally, that way, Yang Pei would think all those valuables in her house were snatched by Huang Ken."

Chen Fang snapped his fingers.

He said, "Exactly, Huang Ken himself is a problem, at Yunshang Palace, there is no black material of him embezzling, taking bribes, or being lascivious. His only weakness is superstition. If caught red-handed, Huang Ken can't be taken down. Yang Pei is probably in a frenzied state right now. Once she sees these things, she will definitely go after Huang Ken. When they bite each other, we'll see who has the real skills."

"Let's hope they both get hurt."

Li Weiyang said excitedly.

After completing this setup.

Chen Fang also felt quite pleased.

He let out a long sigh and said, "Let's go, to Xinglin District, and check out our renovated district."

Li Weiyang hit the gas.

The car vanished into the traffic.

Xinglin District is located on Hongchuan Street in Beixiang District.

It is one of the oldest districts in Xiaxiang City.

Before the renovations, the Xinglin District had tight parking spaces, aging sewage networks, illegally connected power lines, and virtually zero green spaces or other life amenities.

After the old city area renovation work began.

Xinglin District, one of the earliest renovated areas, has now passed inspection.

This time, Chen Fang went over to check out the specific conditions of the district's renovation.

Although he had seen some photos in the documents, it's always more reassuring to see things in person.

The two had just gotten out of the car at the district's entrance.

And they saw the newly refurbished entrance to the district.

Chen Fang had seen the old photos; it was small and cramped, barely allowing one car to pass. Now after the renovation, it looks rather grand, with a gate barrier installed at the entrance, and it looks pretty good.

"Not bad."

Chen Fang mumbled.

And he and Li Weiyang walked into the district together.

The Xinglin District isn't big.

There are only twelve buildings in total.

From a distance, the newly painted exterior walls still look effective.

At the entrances of the stairways, external elevators have been installed, solving the problem of going up and down in old districts.

Not far away.

There is a fitness square.

On it, quite a few fitness equipment for residents had been installed.

Some elderly folks were chatting over there.

Chen Fang and Li Weiyang went over too.

"Hello aunties, we are here to buy a house, how's this district?"

Chen Fang intentionally fabricated an identity to ask.

He expected the aunties to recommend it enthusiastically.

Unexpectedly, a permed-haired aunt quickly waved her hand and said, "Young man, don't buy a house here. If you buy a house in this district, you'll have times when you cry."

Chen Fang was taken aback.

He pointed around the district with his hand.

He said, "I think this district looks neat and tidy, and I read in the newspaper that this district just passed renovation inspection?"

Another aunt heard this.

And burst into laughter.

She said, "Young man, you really believe the government spends money to renovate houses for you? Dream on, the places you see have indeed been worked on; the appearance looks good, but the inside is still a total mess. Take the sewage network renovations, for example; they just break open the ground and then pave it over, without doing anything, yet the money is already pocketed. In these times, it's easy money from the government."

Upon hearing this.

Li Weiyang hurriedly asked, "Auntie, do you mean the sewage network renovations weren't actually done right?"

The permed-haired aunt said, "The blockages are still blocked, and leaks still leak. If you buy a house in this district, you wouldn't even dare to use your toilet, or else it wouldn't flush, and your whole house would stink."

"Besides the sewage network, are there other problems?"

Chen Fang began to realize that the issue wasn't that simple and quickly continued asking.

The permed-haired aunt pointed at the external elevators and said, "And the elevators, do you see any that work? Who knows where they procured those scrap pieces from, they always hang a maintenance sign, and it's been two months since inspection; ask anyone if they've ever used them? It's just for show."

"And the roof waterproofing project, they just put on a thin layer of asphalt, no effect at all, it's all for show to deceive people."

Another aunt added.

At this point.

Others got more enthusiastic in their complaints.

An aunt pulled Li Weiyang's hand, walked to the fitness equipment, and pushed it.

The fitness equipment, which should have been fixed to the ground, swayed, even with an elderly person pushing it.

Li Weiyang squatted down to inspect.

She found that these fitness equipment had rusted.

They just repainted the surface.

Moreover, the internal roads around the district, just two months after acceptance, were already uneven and unsightly, and with just a slight press, the supposedly solid cement road could break off in a chunk.

It was clear that this project was a complete shoddy work.

Bear in mind, the bid for the entire Xinglin District was nine million yuan, and work of such quality couldn't have cost more than two million.

After a long silence.

Chen Fang said solemnly, "Let's go to Jufu Garden."

Jufu Garden isn't too far from Xinglin District.

It's a district currently undergoing renovation.

On last night's Xiaxiang News Broadcast, there was a segment specifically on the progress of Jufu Garden's renovation.

At the time, the project manager said they would strive to overcome difficulties and complete the district's renovation within three months.

The two had just appeared at the entrance of Jufu Garden.

They saw many engineering vehicles coming in and out.

It looked like a busy and enthusiastic scene.
