How did I marry into a wealthy family during my second marriage?

Xu Weitang had been to the office several times before, and the front desk clerk recognized her and greeted her.

"Your skin has been looking great lately. What skin care products are you using?" Xu Weitang looked at the pretty face at the reception desk with envy.

Faced with the praise, the receptionist was overjoyed and relaxed completely.

Xu Weitang asked, "Does Lawyer Shi have any clients in his office?"

"Yes. If Ms. Xu wants to see Shi Lu, she will have to wait for a while."

"I have time today." Xu Weitang went to sit at the table in the lobby and said to the receptionist who poured her some water: "A cup of black coffee, thank you."

He has to meet clients during meal time. He is really a busy man.

Xu Weitang drank coffee while waiting for Shi Yan.

More than half an hour later, an old man with a cane and wearing a washed-out sports suit came out of Shi Yan's office.

Shi Yan’s fees are extremely high. Can this old man afford the lawyer’s fees?

She judges people by their appearance!

Xu Weitang immediately apologized to the old man silently for his behavior.

The receptionist leaned slightly towards her and said, "Lawyer Shi has joined the legal aid team."

Xu Weitang had heard about this before, but after staying abroad for a while, she had forgotten about it. "Why would Shi Lu be so depressed?"

Legal aid, not only does not make money, but with his professional ability and fame, countless people want to find him to sue. Before, there were sky-high lawyer fees as a threshold, which discouraged many people. If he joined the legal aid, he would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"Lawyer Shi must have his reasons for doing this." The staff of the firm respected Shi Yan very much. When the receptionist saw Shi Yan looking at her, she quickly adjusted her watch and stood at her work station in an orderly manner.

Xu Weitang raised his hand and waved to Shi Yan, who stood at the office door without moving.

Xu Weitang came uninvited and went upstairs. He said to the front desk, "Thank you for your hard work, sister. Another cup of coffee."

Shi Yan had already gotten used to her style of doing things and walked into the office with a blank expression.

Xu Weitang folded his arms across his chest and leaned against the door frame. "If someone deliberately replaced the building materials during the construction of the bridge, and something went wrong in the future, would the Xu family bear more responsibility, or would the other party?"

"As the contractor of the project, you did not use standardized materials during construction, which caused the accident. The company should bear full responsibility."

"Full responsibility? What about the material exchange bastard? No punishment at all?"

"That's another case."

"You are a professional, I trust you. Hasn't that person contacted you recently?"

"She was the one who replaced the building materials?"

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence."

Shi Yan:......

"I won't disturb you from working. Bye."

Xu Weitang waved goodbye to Shi Yan. His carefree look made him lose his mind to work.

"The construction of Jiangzhou Bridge is a matter of great importance and cannot be treated as a joke."

"Thank you, Lawyer Shi, for your reminder. I will do my best to build Jiangzhou Bridge into a landmark building."

She has a stubborn temper. The more others don't want her to build the bridge, the harder she will work to make the bridge magnificent and grand, so that every time others see it, they will feel uncomfortable as if a thorn is stuck in their heart.

"You have a lot of ideas."

"I will accept Lawyer Shi's compliments for now. When the bridge is completed, I will personally invite you to visit the site."

Xu Weitang left the law firm and got into the car.

The day after the discovery of the Q235 steel, the staff of the Quality Supervision Bureau received a report that the bridge under construction had quality problems. At that time, the Q235 steel had been transported out of the construction site. The staff of the Quality Supervision Bureau went to the site for inspection and found no problems, so she did not think much about it.

Xu Weitang thought for a while, took out his cell phone, made two calls, and drove to the police station to report the case.

When Mr. Zhou was taken to the police station for questioning, Xu Weitang happened to be there too.

"Manager Xu, you are too unkind." He kindly told her that someone wanted to target Xu's company, and she could just investigate it privately. If she reported it to the police, the news would get out, and the fact that his steel factory made the wrong steel type would be exposed, which would have a certain impact on the factory's reputation.

The warehouse manager also has a difficult family situation. What will happen to his parents if he goes to jail for this incident?

President Zhou thought that if he explained the warehouse manager's family situation to Xu Weitang, she would not pursue the matter any further. Since he helped her once, she owed him a favor and there would be opportunities to cooperate with Xu in the future. Unexpectedly, Xu Weitang did things so ruthlessly.

"Jiangzhou Bridge concerns the travel safety of citizens in Jiangzhou and neighboring cities, and we cannot be careless. I cannot allow dangerous factors that are detrimental to the project to exist. Please understand, Mr. Zhou." Xu Weitang thanked Mr. Zhou for telling her that someone was trying to trip her up, and she bowed deeply to him.

She didn't get up for a long time, and Mr. Zhou's resentment faded a little.

He told the police in detail what he knew and handed over the evidence in his hands to the police.

It is the police's job to find out the mastermind behind the incident. Xu Weitong left the police station with Mr. Zhou.

"Manager Xu, I have already told you clearly about the warehouse manager's family situation. He did this out of necessity. He is not a bad person."

"Mr. Zhou, everyone has times when they have no other choice. Since he has chosen a path that violates the law and commits crimes, he should bear the consequences."

"Manager Xu..."

"Mr. Zhou, if you have compassion, that's your business. I need to be responsible for Xu's employees and those who will use this bridge in the future. I can't make a big deal out of a small matter."

This matter must be thoroughly investigated!

Xu Weitang's powerful words made Mr. Zhou realize the seriousness of the situation.

Xu Weitang returned to the temporary meeting room and held another meeting with everyone, emphasizing that the materials for building the bridge must strictly comply with the contract requirements and no mistakes can be made.

The other party used cash to conduct transactions with the warehouse keeper, and the other party's account and personal information could not be found. The police drew a portrait of the suspect based on the information provided by the warehouse keeper, but no information related to the suspect was found for the time being.

In order to find out the truth as soon as possible, Xu Weitang would contact the police officers in charge of the case every day to inquire about the progress of the investigation.

At the beginning, the police officers handling the case were positive and friendly, but after a while, they became perfunctory and often used being busy with work as an excuse to not answer the phone.

Xu Weitang went to the police station in person to block the man, but the police in charge of the case avoided him.

The Xu family is the richest family in Jiangzhou, and the police officers handling the case should not have such an attitude. Xu Weitang realized that something was wrong and secretly asked someone to find out what the police officers thought about the matter.

"Don't mention it! We thought it was just a small case that would be solved quickly. Not long after we started investigating the case, our superiors assigned us several cases. We put this case first based on the principle of first come, first served, and we were scolded by our superiors."

"Why did the higher-ups reprimand you?"

"The higher-ups said this was just a minor case and it didn't matter whether we solved it or not. There were casualties in the other cases, so they asked us to solve the case as soon as possible and give an explanation to the deceased and their families."

"Xu's case may not sound like a big deal, but it's actually a big deal. Xu has a certain background, and if we don't investigate it as soon as possible, it will be difficult to explain to Xu."

"That's what I said. After the meeting, I was left alone and severely criticized. They almost pointed at my nose and scolded me, saying that I was a public servant and not serving the Xu family." The case officer talked about this matter, feeling wronged and complaining a few more times, "We have so much power in our line of work, how dare we offend the Xu family. In the past, when we encountered such a thing, the higher-ups would urge us to solve the case quickly. I don't know if they felt guilty this time and treated us equally!"
