Last year, Dongze Construction Firm leveraged Four Seasons Scenery as a gimmick and took on a project. But this year, apart from the work received at the start of spring, all they've had since are small projects for building houses for individual families, bringing little work and even less profit, not enough to sustain a construction firm.
The main workshop head at Dongze Construction Firm, Liu Changsheng, has been extremely anxious these days. They can barely maintain operations this month, and next month, forget about paying wages, it's hard to even meet the firm's basic expenditures.
Yet Fourth Grandma Ji and a steward sent by some unknown partner not only are complete outsiders but also won't intervene and have stopped advancing any funds, instead cursing the workers every day.
Liu Changsheng admits that Fourth Grandma Ji spent some silver to buy this construction firm. He also agrees that an excellent workshop head should have both skills and connections.
