Chapter 7

The next day, Smith went to the construction site again.

He was there to submit the project for approval. He would receive the final payment so long as the construction passed the inspection.

Funding was not always immediately available. This was the same for important projects.

He might first get a 30% down payment.

Then, after completing a stage, he would get another 30%.

After the final stage, the remaining 40% will be paid.

He would not be able to get the full amount for the project upfront no matter what. This was regardless of which method he used, or if the acceptance check was not satisfactory.

“Our inspectors will carry out the inspection immediately. Once the inspection is completed, the final payment will be sent to you,” said a supervisor with a smile after he realised Smith’s intention for coming.

“Okay, then I’ll have to trouble you. I’ll go back first,” said Smith. He felt like the other party’s attitude seemed to be much better.

“Wait, Smith. I have another project here. I wonder if you’re willing to accept it?”

The supervisor stopped Smith. After all, he was not done with Smith just yet.

“What project?” Smith asked curiously.

He did not expect a project to come knocking on his door. This was like a pie falling from the sky.

“We still have some toilet modification projects. There are a total of three toilets. The total amount of the project is 900,000 yuan. I wonder if you’re willing to accept it?”

The supervisor explained the project to him.

Smith looked at him strangely. He had thought of many projects, but he did not expect that it would be a toilet modification project.

Could it be that the park’s toilet that he built had become famous?

“Smith, can this project be done?”

The supervisor realised that Smith did not respond for a long time. He thought that Smith did not want to accept the project.

“Yes, why not? When can we sign the contract?”

Both of them were very interested in what the other had to offer. The contract was signed quickly.

However, the supervisor was in pain. He gave Smith 400,000 yuan directly for the project so that Smith could start work earlier.

Smith agreed to start work earlier. However, he just went straight home after leaving the construction site.

This was because he did not sleep well for the past few days as he was building the highway every night. 

As such, he planned to return home to get some sleep first.

As for the toilet construction, he no longer had to do it himself.

Previously, he had no money. Therefore, he had no choice but to do everything himself. However, as he had received some money, he would be really stupid if he still did everything himself.

“System! Exchange three construction teams for me.”

After returning home, Smith opened the system and made an exchange for three construction teams.

The construction team was made up of all-rounded construction robots. These robots all had simulated skin.

The system would also help get them identification documents.

Therefore, even if someone went to the construction site to take a look, they would not find any problems.

“Three factory construction teams, all the exchanges have been completed. Deducting 1.5 million yuan in cash!”

The system completed the exchange instantly. 

“Okay, please arrange for each team to go to the site and modify the toilets,” ordered Smith.

After making the necessary arrangements, Smith fell asleep.

While Smith was sleeping, the robots of the three teams surrounded the toilets.

They began to modify the three toilets using the materials purchased by the system.

The investigators stayed around the three toilets to observe the construction process.

“Check the identity of those construction workers immediately!”

“Yes! I’ll go right away!”

The identity documents of the construction workers were handed over to the investigators.

After investigating the information of more than thirty construction workers, everyone including the head investigator was stunned.

The workers that Smith found were all 35 years old, and they somehow ended up in the same place. All of them had lost their parents, and they did not have spouses.

This seemed too fake. It seemed like a deliberate forgery. 

“Go and check on these people. In the end, we will be able to find the exact address and their interpersonal relationships. Let’s see if their identification documents are real,” said the head of the investigators in a low voice whilst looking at the busy construction workers.

These documents all seemed to be fake. Even if they were all from the same place, it was impossible for all of them to be 35 years old.

Such coincidence was not possible.

Could it be that their parents had agreed to meet at the hospital on the same day?

Even if it was normal to fake some information on one’s resume, this was so obvious that anyone could tell it was fake from a glance.

A day later, the investigation team sent a message.

“Leader, according to the investigation information, the relatives recorded in their documents have moved away a long time ago. There is no evidence that their identities are fake.”

“Then go and investigate those who moved away!”

“Those who moved away are all dead.”

They had no way of proving the identities of the construction workers so they could not arrest them.

After all, they were only construction workers. They did not break the law, nor were they spies.

Plus, the investigators did not have the authority to arrest them as they were just ordinary investigators.

They could only judge these people based on their own observations.

The investigators had been observing them for three consecutive days. However, the more they observed them, the more they felt like the construction workers were incredible.

They worked almost every day. They ate and slept in the toilet.

They treated the toilets like their homes. They were extremely dedicated. The investigators were moved by what they saw.

They felt like the seriousness and quality of the employees were too high!

They were just like tools. They did not have any unnecessary communication and worked continuously.

Even the investigators were impressed.

Where did Smith find all these construction workers?
