Lin Qingtong had already reached the door when she heard Li Fang's words, and her brows furrowed slightly.

She never expected that Li Fang, who seemed so easy to talk to just now, would be so unreasonable and argumentative now.

Her gaze fell on the worker, but despite his anger, he had no intention of hitting Li Fang; he simply stared intently at her.

Lin Qingtong glanced back at the ceiling under the light, a faint smile curving her red lips, and slowly walked forward.

"Mrs. Li, the construction workers don't earn money easily, you should pay them as soon as possible."

Li Fang turned her head and saw Lin Qingtong walking gracefully towards her. In the night, her skin was excessively white, her features were exquisite and bright, and she exuded a cool and beautiful aura as she walked.

A flicker of jealousy crossed her eyes. She had spent millions to become who she was now, but she still couldn't compare to the young and beautiful Lin Qingtong in front of her.

Her husband was always out partying and indulging in pleasure, so he probably found someone as attractive as her.

She subconsciously mistook Lin Qingtong for a young girl who was seducing her husband, and her expression suddenly turned displeased.

"I invited you into my house to look at the renovations, not to meddle in other people's business. Why are you so fixated on young men that you can't stand them and want to hook them up in bed?"

Her words were so harsh that they reached Lin Qingtong's ears, causing her to frown even more deeply.

"I was just standing up for this worker. He had already finished his work, so you should pay him instead of insulting him."

Li Fang's temper flared up again, and she wished she could scratch Lin Qingtong's face.

"Who told you to meddle? I'll give it to you if I want, go ahead and arrest me if you dare."

"I'm telling you, I'm not giving it to you today."

Li Fang was reluctant to pay in the first place, but the other party's attitude was always acceptable and they didn't hit her, so she couldn't find a way to deduct the wages.

Now that Lin Qingtong has spoken up for this person, she'll take the opportunity to say she won't pay.

This saved a lot of money on labor costs.

Gao Shan, who was standing nearby, immediately became anxious upon hearing this.

"No matter what, I've done what you wanted, so why won't you pay me?!"

Li Fang crossed her arms and sneered a few times before speaking.

"I'm not giving you the money, what can you do about it?"

She actually started acting like a scoundrel.

Seeing this, Lin Qingtong's eyes darkened, and she sneered.

"It's fine if you don't pay me. There are surveillance cameras here anyway, and your words have been recorded. As for the wages, I will support this gentleman in pursuing legal action."

Li Fang immediately felt guilty and forced herself to argue.

"Don't talk nonsense, the law doesn't cover this kind of thing."

Lin Qingtong crossed her arms and laughed.

"You probably don't know this, but the law has been updated and now includes provisions for workers to claim their wages. If the other party continues to refuse to pay, you can apply for an inventory of their assets."

When Li Fang heard Lin Qingtong's detailed and seemingly plausible account, she instantly became frightened.

But she still didn't want to admit defeat, and then she heard Lin Qingtong's next words.

"However, I heard that this kind of asset inventory will be broadcast live online."

Lin Qingtong leaned forward slightly, her eyes filled with a seductive smile.

"I will definitely come to support you, Mrs. Li, when the time comes."

Upon hearing that it might be broadcast live online, Li Fang instantly became frightened, her face contorted for a moment, and then she pulled out her phone while cursing.

"It's just a few tens of thousands of yuan, why take it to court? You're not ashamed, but I am."

Lin Qingtong winked at Gao Shan, who immediately took out his phone and opened the QR code.

With a ding-dong, 50,000 yuan arrived in my account.

Gao Shan grinned, glanced at Li Fang, and then turned and left.

As for Li Fang, she also went back to the villa in anger, hoping to save some money, but she failed. She was angry enough to keep her sulking for a long time.

Seeing that Gao Shan was about to walk away, Lin Qingtong lifted her foot and chased after him.

"Wait a moment."

Gao Shan turned around and saw Lin Qingtong chasing after him, asking her with a wary expression.

"What's wrong, miss?"

A gentle smile spread across Lin Qingtong's bright face as she spoke her purpose in a clear and melodious voice.

"I happen to have a house that I want to renovate, and I'd like to ask you to come over. Do you have time?"

Gao Shan frowned slightly and spoke directly.

“I still have a construction site that I haven’t finished. It will take at least another month. If you can wait, then wait a month.”

He wasn't refusing; he was just stating his plans.

In fact, he had already prepared for Lin Qingtong to refuse, after all, no one can wait more than a month.

Unexpectedly, Lin Qingtong's smile grew even brighter, and she readily agreed.

"One month is fine, I'll wait for you. Let's exchange contact information."

She took out her phone and handed it to Gao Shan, asking him a question with a smile.

"If you have any suitable bricklayers or electricians, they can come along too. Don't worry, I'll give you 10,000 yuan a day."

Upon hearing this, Gao Shan's hand trembled, his eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Lin Qingtong with disbelief.

"You asked how much you'd pay per day? But you haven't even seen the construction site yet, and you already trust me like that?"

Lin Qingtong turned around and pointed in the direction of the villa behind her. "I've already looked at it."

"It's okay, I believe in you."

Lin Qingtong's words of trust warmed Gao Shan's heart. He would be especially careful and meticulous in every construction project he undertook, trying his best to meet the employer's expectations.

But many people think he's young and don't want to believe it; they prefer to choose an experienced craftsman.

Some people even kicked him out halfway through.
