"You're like an official, looking at things from a high vantage point. It's just a pity that we're at the bottom of the valley right now, trying our best to climb up. There are only a few lifelines left, so we can only climb up by stepping on other people's shoulders." Gao Muyi rolled his eyes at her.
Shi Hetong patted him on the shoulder, telling him not to talk nonsense, and then turned to Zheng Quchi and said, "We are telling you this not to make you agree with our views, but to make you understand that although we are working together, you can't see into someone's heart. Everyone has their own plans. Since you are working with us, you should pay attention to your words and deeds and not ruin our plans."
Gao Muyi also said, "Don't spread what you see or hear."
Zheng Quchi nodded: "I understand."
"I just don't understand. Wei Jinwei is such a cunning person, how come he didn't teach you anything?" Gao Muyi rubbed his chin.
Zheng Quchi said, "Perhaps it's because... I don't need these at all."
She's not good at scheming and plotting, so let those things be left to those who are, like Yuwen Sheng.

Her words sounded quite strange to Mu Gaoyi and Shi Hetong.

However, she doesn't seem to fit either of those descriptions, which is why it's so puzzling.
"Alright, there's nothing else for you to do. You can go and learn from the handymen what kind of work they usually do."
Let's go.
The two decided to continue their work, so they first sent away Zheng Quchi, who was just an irrelevant person.
Zheng Quchi wasn't so obedient. She asked, "Can I wander around and familiarize myself with the terrain before going to find the handymen?"
"Suit yourself, but be careful not to get too close to other people's territory, lest a fight breaks out and the two of us have to go and bail you out."
"good."
After Zheng Quchi agreed, she started wandering around, but she was worried that others would think she was trying to steal the teacher's skills, so she basically stayed on the edge and didn't get too close.
She saw a craftsman planing wood, with several thin pieces of wood piled at his feet.
The wood is willow, which has a fine and soft texture and a smooth surface after planing. However, willow is not a hardwood; it is easily shaped and deformed, making it unsuitable for load-bearing components. Yet, he still whittled the willow into sticks...
