"No way?
It shouldn't be him, right?
Thinking about how rude he had been to him earlier, if that person really was Chairman Lin, then he had offended him.
If that person suddenly stopped his construction team from working, he would be finished. He relied on the construction team for his livelihood!
For a moment, Guan Kun began to pray that Lin Xiao Tian would not respond.
But he was disappointed.
Lin Xiao Tian nodded slightly.
"Chairman Lin, that was a misunderstanding. I..."
"Can you tell me what happened now?"
Lin Xiao Tian did not seem very angry, after all, road construction still required the intervention of a construction team.
"Alas! Chairman Lin, it's all because these people are too greedy."
"They changed their minds at the last minute after agreeing on a price, and now they're threatening to go on strike if they don't get more money."
"They're simply detestable!"
Guan Kun looked helpless.
Guan Kun's words were immediately heard by the other workers present.
They also knew that Lin Xiao Tian's status was not low, so they immediately surrounded Lin Xiao Tian.
"Sir! It's not that we're not keeping our word, it's that this guy surnamed Guan is too dishonest. He lied to us, saying we were working on a construction site in the city, but then he changed his mind and brought us here to repair the road."
"And this is a mountain road with cliffs all around. Compared to the construction sites in the city, it's not just a little bit more dangerous."
"Isn't it reasonable for us to ask for more money?"
The leading worker immediately retorted.
"Besides, there's nowhere to live here. We have to go back after we finish. He only reimburses us for bus fare. If we want to go back to our own rented places, he won't reimburse us for the travel expenses!" another worker chimed in.
Guan Kun became angry when he heard this.
"You all live in different places. Should I drive each of you home? If I drive each of you home, who will pay for the gas?"
"And what do you mean I lied to you? When I hired you, I told you that the construction team might have to travel. Didn't I say that?"
"Guan, I think you're bullying honest people!"
Seeing the two groups about to argue again, Lin Xiao Tian felt a headache coming on.
It wasn't entirely Guan Kun's fault, but the workers' demands were also reasonable, considering the poor road conditions in Jinsha Village.
"How about this? If you want more money, I'll agree to it for you. I'll talk to the company later," Lin Xiao Tian said to the workers.
Hearing this, Guan Kun couldn't help but sigh.
Lin Xiao Tian was too unrealistic. People were greedy. If they got a taste of success today, they would only become more unreasonable in the future.
But since Lin Xiao Tian was the leader, Guan Kun dared not object even though he disagreed in his heart.
However, Lin Xiao Tian's next sentence made Guan Kun admire him.
"However, what Guan Kun said also makes sense. It's indeed unreasonable for you to suddenly ask for more money."
"How about this! Let's both compromise and discuss a reasonable price that won't change in the future. This way, our project can be completed smoothly."
"What do you all think? Is this acceptable?"
Lin Xiao Tian scanned the crowd.
The few troublemakers looked away, clearly unwilling, but the other workers present were very supportive of Lin Xiao Tian's proposal.
The troublemakers wanted to benefit from the situation, but most of the workers still wanted to earn money honestly.
Seeing that the situation was improving, Lin Xiao Tian pulled Guan Kun aside again.
"As for the price, you are the foreman, so you decide a reasonable figure. Don't mistreat our workers."
"Of course, if there's any disruption, you can handle it as you see fit."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Lin Xiao Tian looked at Guan Kun.
"Understood!" Guan Kun nodded solemnly.
In just an instant, Guan Kun's respect for Lin Xiao Tian increased.
After resolving the commotion with the construction team, Lin Xiao Tian did not immediately return to the village, but walked in the opposite direction.
In fact, he had an important matter to attend to today.
The note he had received from Bai Xue earlier contained a message.
The content of the message was only three words – Sihai Town.
Sihai Town was the town that governed Jinsha Village. The bricks and cement Lin Xiao Tian used for building were all transported from Sihai Town.
The sender had only said these three words, but Lin Xiao Tian thought about it carefully and understood the meaning.
Sihai Town was not far from here. With the road, it would only take about ten minutes to get there.
Lin Xiao Tian chose to walk alone to avoid being followed, but with his physical condition, he could still get there in about ten minutes.
Thus, in about fifteen minutes, Lin Xiao Tian arrived at Sihai Town.
Although Sihai Town's name contained the word "sea," it was actually surrounded by mountains. If it weren't for the road, it wouldn't be much better than other villages.
Upon arriving at the town, Lin Xiao Tian dialed a mobile number.
This number had been very helpful to him when he rescued Guo Lin Qing, but it had been out of service since then. Lin Xiao Tian was just trying to call it.
In fact, as soon as he arrived at Sihai Town, he had a rough idea in his mind.
If nothing went wrong, the person who helped him should be him!
The phone rang with the familiar "no one answered" tone. Lin Xiao Tian decided not to call anymore and prepared to head directly to his destination.
However, before he could take a few steps, he was stopped by a voice.
"Handsome boy, we meet again."
Lin Xiao Tian turned around and saw that the person speaking was the same driver who had driven him last time.
"It seems I came to the right place. Where is your boss?" Lin Xiao Tian asked indifferently.
"Please follow me." The driver gave Lin Xiao Tian a wink.
A few minutes later, they stopped in front of a hair salon with pink curtains.
Lin Xiao Tian stood at the entrance and listened. He could occasionally hear the charming voices of women from inside...
