Just as Liu Changsheng was worrying about how to face the many craftsmen's inquiries when he went outside, a commotion arose outside.
This employer was a middle-aged man with the surname Chen, who looked ordinary. In the past, he had watched operas with Ye Hongyang and was considered an old acquaintance. He knew that hiring Dongze Construction Firm to build this courtyard was like catching a big fool. So he was eager to settle the wages quickly and get rid of everyone.
Upon hearing the noise outside, Chen the Official instinctively thought about whether those craftsmen might be causing trouble because of the unprofitable project.
He was anxious and didn't care about propriety, pushing Liu Changsheng outside while saying, "What's wrong, why is it so noisy? Is it your people? Quickly pack up your tools and belongings and leave. Before handing over the work, you should have cleared the site properly, this is your doing!"
