The people who came to repair the house were quite numerous, reportedly over two hundred, but Xie Zhinuan didn't bother to ask for specifics. She was only concerned with the completion of the house, the subsequent inspection, and settling the accounts. As for the number of workers, she didn't care; she only interacted with the foreman.
Upon seeing Xie Zhinuan, the foreman was both polite and flattering, "Miss Xie has arrived. There is still some time before the auspicious hour, so we might discuss your requirements!"
"Hmm!"
Xie Zhinuan's demands were neither particularly numerous nor few.
They were trivial but critical, and the foreman listened with great care and attention.
He had worked with Xie Zhinuan once before and found her to be extremely generous and amiable. As long as they met her requirements, she settled the wages promptly and would often pay extra.
