In He Wenjie's view, the money-obsessed people in the village would at least wait until Xu Hongdou's guesthouse opened for business before coming to cause trouble. But He Wenjie never expected that someone would come to make trouble before the guesthouse was even built. That day, He Wenjie accompanied Xu Hongdou to check on the construction progress and discovered that the workers' pace was much slower than anticipated. He Wenjie went to find the foreman to ask about the situation, and the foreman's answer was simply that this was the normal speed, and if He Wenjie wasn't satisfied, he could find someone else. With that, the foreman shouted out a greeting and left with the surrounding dawdling workers.
"What do they mean by this? I don't think I've withheld any of their wages."
"It has nothing to do with you. I suppose someone saw the village suddenly trending online and got inappropriate, greedy ideas about your unbuilt guesthouse. Don't worry, it's not worth getting upset with these people. Huang Xinxin and Manager Xie went to the city; tonight when they get back, I'll talk to them about this. Since it's dirty business within the village, let them solve it themselves. A bunch of short-sighted fools—the village hasn't even truly taken off yet, and they already dare to flip the table on the two of us."
