They were bound to make a big deal out of it, as if doing so gave them a sense of accomplishment.
In the deepest part of the house, Liu Qingxi and Zhang Wuliang exchanged glances, hearing the commotion outside, and revealed a helpless smile. "There's nothing we can do; we're just too outstanding, which makes too many people jealous."
Indeed, it's hard for this world to accommodate outliers, especially someone like Liu Qingxi who comes in and takes others' jobs. "Qingxi, you're too amazing; that's why they look down on you and deliberately come to cause trouble."
"Yeah, but I haven't hindered them at all. Fair competition is all that's needed. Besides, without me, someone like Boss Qian wouldn't be able to handle this business; he simply doesn't have the capability to take it on."
Both of them knew who he was referring to but chose not to make it explicit.
As for the crowded people outside? Liu Si and the others were secretly protecting them up front, ensuring that there would be no stampede and no casualties.
Otherwise, the two leaders wouldn't be in such a calm mood discussing this matter from the back.
"It's unavoidable that being prominent attracts attention. However, Village Chief, we will face whatever comes our way; we fear no one. Right now, we are better off than they are. They are jealous. Once we stand at a higher position, at a height they cannot reach, they won't even have the heart to feel jealous."
Liu Qingxi was right; everything he said was true, and Zhang Wuliang wholeheartedly agreed.
They couldn't stop moving forward just because some people weren't putting in the effort. The outside world was much broader. This incident they faced in Biqi Town was merely an interlude on their path of development.
There would be more challenges ahead, but they were not afraid!
Yes, not afraid! Just like today's events, although the discovery of the anomaly stemmed from an accidental decision.
But it had to be done; because they had previously assigned Village Young Men to night shifts, Liu Qingxi was able to learn about those people's arrangements right away and then let Liu Yi and others follow the clues to find the mastermind behind it all.
Indeed, a simple decision at that time changed the course of events, allowing for timely responses.
As for why Liu Qingxi hasn't stepped forward to clarify the facts yet, it's because the mastermind behind the scenes has not yet revealed themselves. If they come out too early, wouldn't it render the previous act meaningless?
Looking ahead, the commotion among the people has reached a boiling point. Zhang Sanyou and others are being pushed by the crowd and can no longer retreat.
"Don't rush! Let me explain!"
Unfortunately, Zhang Sanyou's shouts are drowned out by the noise of the crowd. His voice is nearly hoarse, but it remains ineffective.
At that moment, a loud call came from outside: "Master Liang is here!"
What? Master Liang? The locals of Biqi Town have all heard of Master Liang's great name. He is one of the most renowned builders in Biqi Town. What could he be here for?
Out of respect for strength and reverence for the elder, the people spontaneously made way for two individuals to pass through.
Zhang Sanyou and others looked up to see an old man in a black robe with a grizzled beard and piercing eyes being escorted by the crowd.
On what appeared to be a righteous face, discomfort flashed in his heart upon seeing the Masterful Craftsmanship of the building before him. How could a mere girl possess such skill?
Having worked in this industry his entire life, he wouldn't dare boast that he could achieve such results. Why should she be able to do it so well?
It seemed that all the admiration people had for him had returned to himself after some time. After the earthquake, overshadowed by Liu Qingxi's brilliance, he felt increasingly uncomfortable with every thought.
It is different now; this feeling of being surrounded by stars is quite enjoyable for him. Although he felt a bit reluctant before, thinking about Liu Qingxi being driven out of Biqi Town and the construction industry made him feel quite relieved.
"Ahem!" Liang Siji cleared his throat. "Big Kid, don't be anxious, let me say a few words!"
The crowd gradually quieted down, eagerly watching him. "Master Liang, you must give us a solution; we can't just let a girl decide everything."
With arms extended straight forward at shoulder height, his hands moved up and down slowly. "Alright, everyone calm down, don't rush. Since I am here, I will definitely provide a solution for everyone and for the people of Biqi Town.
After all, I have lived in Biqi Town my whole life and, as someone from the industry, I cannot just stand by and watch others harm the interests of Big Kid. If you trust me, let me handle this."
Setting aside other matters, his age and experience alone earned him the people's trust.
His pretentious demeanor appeared far more professional compared to Liu Qingxi, a girl in her teens. Unbeknownst to them, the balance in people's hearts had already tilted in his favor.
"Alright, Master Liang, we will listen to you."
Liu Qingxi felt sorrow for these naive people behind her; they didn't even know whether he was a wolf or a tiger and so easily believed his words. If they got deceived, it would be their own fault.
At that moment, Liang Siji looked at Zhang Sanyou. "Since things have escalated to this point and someone has lost their life, this is no longer a private matter; it has become a public issue with serious implications. As long as I am here, I will ensure that everything proceeds fairly and smoothly."
His grandiose words earned rounds of applause.
Zhang Sanyou and others rolled their eyes secretly. As insiders, they knew that this person seemed upright but was actually more disgusting; they couldn't tell when he would stab you in the back while righteous indignation claimed you were in the wrong.
Such methods are extremely despicable; in other words, they are not as straightforward as open conflict.
"I am a reasonable person and will not engage with you. Now hurry and summon your master; I need to speak with her."
Liang Siji glanced around, feeling a dark desire to claim the construction method of Masterful Craftsmanship for himself.
Naturally, Zhang Sanyou was unaware of this thought in his heart. If he knew, he would likely be disgusted enough to spit in his face—how could he still have any shame?
"Alright, Master Liang, please wait. I just hope you won't regret it." As he left, Zhang Sanyou gave him a meaningful smile.
Liang Siji smirked slightly, revealing a cold smile: "Who laughs last is still uncertain. Can you really compare yourself to a girl?"
Unfortunately, it is unclear who underestimated whom or who was too proud and arrogant.
At this point, things had escalated to a boiling point. Liang Siji quietly instructed his assistant beside him: "Go and bring Boss here; after all, this is his house, and he has the most authority."
This order was not deliberately concealed and received unanimous approval from those present: "Master Liang indeed has a methodical approach; he is fair and just."
"Isn't that right? We have been dealing with him in Biqi Town for decades; we all know what kind of person he is."
The praises were endless.
