She had heard from Su Xiaotian’s phone call earlier, something about an illegal structure.
She had never heard such a term before.
It must be a trumped-up charge.
Tang Ping was a smart girl. In a flash, she understood.
The people who had targeted the Su family this time were likely not very capable and belonged to a lower social circle. Therefore, they had no idea that the Su family was not as weak as they appeared on the surface, someone who could be bullied at will.
Thinking this, Tang Ping felt a sense of calm.
A cold smile flickered across her lips, and she said, "Idiots!"
She was actually cursing those who had rashly attacked the Su family.
However, Ye Kaiyu took it personally, believing that Su Xiaotian was referring to him.
"Tang Ping, what do you mean?" Ye Kaiyu immediately put on a sour face.
"What do I mean? What did I say?"
Tang Ping did not want to stay in the office and listen to Ye Kaiyu’s passive-aggressive remarks. Recalling that Xiaotian had asked her to inform Director Cai before leaving, she walked directly out of the office and headed towards Director Cai’s office.
Tang Ping briefly explained to Director Cai that Su Xiaotian had to leave due to an urgent matter.
However, after she finished speaking, before Director Cai could reply, she heard Fan Shufang’s voice from the doorway.
"Did something happen to Xiaotian?"
Seeing that it was Fan Shufang, Tang Ping briefly explained the potential situation Su Xiaotian might be facing to Fan Shufang.
Fan Shufang, being a person in a high position, and with an even higher-ranking elder at home, naturally knew that the country was researching issues related to illegal structures.
However, up to this point, the so-called illegal structures were merely suggestions and opinions, with no concrete plans.
Who on earth would use such a pretext to bully people?
And to choose the Su family as their target, no less.
She didn't know about others, but Su Xiaotian and Su Xiaosi handled matters with great professionalism.
All the procedures for the construction of this building were complete.
"A trumped-up charge!" Fan Shufang’s angry expression turned unpleasant.
Seeing Fan Shufang’s expression, and recalling that people from the Translation Department said Director Fan was Su Xiaotian’s second grandmother, Director Cai instantly thought of a good way to resolve the issue.
"Director Fan, you see, our colleagues in the unit have encountered such a problem. Should we go and take a look? Perhaps we can help in some way?"
Director Cai’s words struck a chord with Fan Shufang.
When she heard this, she had already planned to go and see. Now that Director Cai had suggested it, she was naturally more willing.
"Director Cai, thank you for your trouble. I’ll make a phone call in my office first. After I finish my call, we’ll head out!"
Fan Shufang had no other appointments in the afternoon, so she decided to go and see for herself.
This matter was truly egregious.
If the old man found out, who knew how furious he would be!
"Alright, Director Fan, I’ll get ready right away!"
Fan Shufang returned to her office without further comment.
Hearing that both Director Cai and Director Fan were going to see Su Xiaotian, Tang Ping felt a pang of anxiety.
"Director Cai, did I say something wrong?" she asked, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Director Fan, such a high-ranking leader, was going to personally make a trip for this matter.
Director Cai smiled, "You didn't say anything wrong. Go back and continue with your work with peace of mind!"
Director Cai was also aware of Tang Ping's background and liked this hardworking and ambitious girl.
After all, among the four interns in this batch, apart from Su Xiaotian, Tang Ping had the highest professional level.
Moreover, Tang Ping was also a second-generation official, a good prospect.
Tang Ping thought for a moment and said, "Director Cai, I'd like to go along and take a look too, is that okay? Xiaotian and I are good friends, and I'm a bit worried!"
Director Cai thought there was nothing to be worried about, but then he considered that the feelings of young girls were not something that coarse men like them could understand.
He decided to let the young girl come along, as they were going anyway.
Fan Shufang did not say much when she saw Tang Ping in the car, but her expression was somewhat displeased throughout the journey.
Looking at Fan Shufang’s distant demeanor, Tang Ping regretted it for a moment.
If she had known, she wouldn't have come along.
She had actually considered coming on her own, but she forgot to ask Su Xiaotian for the address.
Only by coming along could she find the place.
As expected, Fan Shufang knew the address. As soon as they got in the car, she gave the driver an address.
Meanwhile, Su Xiaotian, rushing out of the Translation Department, happened to see a brand-new taxi.
She didn't care about the extra cost and directly hailed the taxi.
Fortunately, her luck was good today, and she encountered a taxi right away.
It was worth noting that the Beijing Automobile Company had only been established last month, and there were not many vehicles. It was rare to encounter one on the road.
Today, she was considered lucky to have caught one.
Seeing Su Xiaotian get into the car with a grave expression, the driver proactively started a conversation.
However, Su Xiaotian had something on her mind and had no intention of talking. She stated the address and anxiously looked outside.
The driver probably realized that this young girl had an urgent matter.
"Little girl, hold on tight, I'm accelerating!"
The driver was a young man in his twenties, and he was quite considerate of others' urgency.
Seeing Su Xiaotian's anxiety, he did not delay and immediately accelerated towards their destination.
After Su Xiaotian paid and got out of the car, she saw several people standing at the entrance of the newly renovated building, acting arrogantly and bossily.
Su Xiaotian couldn't help but frown.
These people, putting on such an overbearing attitude, were clearly not here with good intentions.
It was difficult for her grandparents to face such unreasonable people.
She quickly looked towards the building and saw Grandpa Su and Grandma Su standing opposite these people with determined expressions.
The elders had white hair, and in the breeze, those strands of white hair appeared even more bleak and desolate. However, both of them had expressions of firm refusal to yield.
Behind Grandpa Su and Grandma Su, there were a few more people, likely hired recently to help. Su Dan Novel Network.
There were also a few people hiding to the side, clearly not wanting to get involved in trouble.
With the development over the past two years, the previously not-so-bustling section of the road had gradually become prosperous.
Moreover, the commotion here had been going on for quite some time, and many people from the surroundings were already watching.
As Su Xiaotian passed by, she overheard the discussions of these people.
Regarding the illegal structure mentioned by those people, most of the onlookers had never heard of it and naturally did not support these people coming to the door.
A small portion of people felt that just because they hadn't heard of it, it didn't mean it didn't exist.
"This building was just decorated and is supposed to open soon. Why is it going to be demolished?"
"They must have offended someone. Otherwise, why would a perfectly good building be demolished?"
"A few days ago, they were recruiting people here. A neighbor's daughter was hired!"
"These people said they are from the Urban Construction Bureau, so they can't just talk nonsense, right? Maybe this building is indeed an illegal structure!"
