Master Tao seemed to praise me?

But why does Master Tao look like he wants to eat me?

The contractor was stunned. He keenly perceived a very crucial piece of information from Master Tao's words and asked hurriedly, "Master Tao, do you already know that Qin Guangqing and the others have become traitors?"

Master Tao stared at the contractor coldly without saying a word.

The contractor immediately showed an indignant look and said angrily: "What a bunch of beasts! They all look honest, but I didn't expect that they are all like this. Master Tao, you are so good to them, giving them 20 yuan a day for meals and allowing them to do odd jobs during their vacations...but they turned out to be traitors!"

The contractor himself was indeed surprised. Based on his understanding of Qin Guangqing and his people, the most amazing thing they could do was to put a knife to their own necks.

If you don't listen to me, I will die in front of you.

These people are so pathetic and ridiculous.

He was now wondering, how could these people actually dare to surrender to Xu Shang? Who gave them the courage?

Of course, now is not the time to think about this. I have to appease Master Tao first, and then find a way to get myself out of this.

The contractor secretly glanced at Master Tao's expression. It would have been better if he hadn't glanced at it, but once he did -

Their eyes met.

This embarrassed the contractor so much that he quickly looked away and changed the subject, saying, "I never thought they would let you down, Master Tao. Master, we absolutely cannot let them off so easily. We should create a blacklist in the industry and blacklist them all!"

After saying this, the contractor waved his fist excitedly.

And at this moment, Master Tao's gloomy voice finally rang in his ears.

"I just want to 'block' you now."

The contractor was startled, raised his head in astonishment, opened his hands and explained: "Master Tao, this matter has nothing to do with me. That group of traitors... I have always been loyal to you. No matter what you say, I will not be careless at all!"

Master Tao stared at the contractor, shook his head for a while and said:

"Now I finally understand what the term 'treacherous villain' means. No wonder those ancient emperors were so wise and powerful, but they still ended up turning the court into a mess. It turns out that it was all because of treacherous villains like you!"

The contractor's expression changed slightly. No one would remain indifferent when being described like this.

But despite his dissatisfaction, the contractor still pleaded with a pitiful and helpless expression: "Master Tao, you really wronged me! I am innocent. It was those people who were so heartless, two-faced, and ungrateful! They betrayed you, and I have always stood on your side!"

Tao Ji wanted to laugh when watching the contractor's performance. Although it was indeed pleasant to be flattered on weekdays, when he thought of Xu Shang taking Qin Guangqing and others to ask Director Kong for wages, Tao Ji felt like he was about to have a heart attack.

"Just settle the money and you can get out!"

The contractor shuddered and asked in fear, "Master Tao, you, you are not going to ban me from the industry, are you?"

"Banned?"

Tao Ji laughed angrily, "Do you still need me to ban you? I have never seen a contractor who drove his workers away. You are the first one I have seen! Thank you for letting me show off in front of my colleagues. Congratulations to you. Many colleagues are watching this program. They will all know about your feat soon! You are famous! Please pay the money and leave immediately. No more!"

The contractor was struck by lightning.

How come it suddenly became like this?

Just because of a few random cheap bones that you can grab in a handful?

Are you going to be banned from the industry?

On the side, Tao Ji saw that the contractor was hesitant to move, and couldn't help but send his blessing:

"Now that you're famous, shouldn't you be happier?"

…

"Xu Shang, I think there must be some misunderstanding here!"

"That's right. It's all the fault of the contractor. These people are used to bullying others. I think it's time to give them a warning."

The two architects were commissioned by Tao Ji to talk to Xu Shang. As for Master Tao himself, he really couldn't bring himself to do it.

After all, when Tao Ji thought of Xu Shang's arrogance, looking down on him from a moral high ground, he would probably be so angry that he would roll around in bed for eight hours at night and turn into a "Tao Top".

"I admit there may be some misunderstandings, but that's all in the past. Now I only have one request, and that is that my salary must be paid."

"What the hell, it's just a salary! What's the big deal?"

The two architects had smiles on their faces. To be honest, compared with the design fees of famous architects like them, that little bit of wages was nothing. So when they heard that Tao Ji was withholding their wages, they were shocked.

One of the architects was very familiar with Qin Guangqing and his colleagues, and these eight people were even hired by him to work for Tao Ji.

As for why we need to find another contractor?

There are many tricks involved here.

From a personal perspective, architects' work is mental, and they have to spend their energy every day thinking about designs. They don't have the time to care about the messy and trivial construction. A contractor happens to be responsible for these things.

As for a group, it involves the skill of controlling subordinates.

For example, what happened today, or any other accident somewhere else, don't ask, if you ask, it's the contractor's fault. They are architects who are so noble, of course they would never do such a dirty thing.
