Tommy continued to persuade him with great delight. "From what I heard, this project is a restoration project by Grand Asia Empire's president to restore Tourmaline Estate. She has plenty of money and has always paid our wages on time. Come back with me."
Ben mulled it over. He did not have a single penny with him, nor was he proficient in a particular line. Hence, he returned to the construction site with Tommy.
When Stan and the rest saw him returning, they ridiculed him unceremoniously. "Why did you come back? I thought you went out to make big bucks."
Ben looked at the dirty construction site and asked Stan, "Where’s the project leader?"
He might be unfit for dirty jobs, but he could try his hand with other jobs.
Stan eyed him skeptically and looked at Ben's face that was very different from theirs. Fishermen like them had been tanned since childhood, but Ben's face was fair and flawless. He looked way better than the young masters in big cities.
Stan pondered and thought that perhaps Ben was really capable in other aspects, hence he pointed out the project leader’s office at the slab-type apartment building. He said, "You see that? The project leader’s
office is the second room on the second floor. He’s from our village too. Why are you looking for him?"
Ben did not answer him, but instead, he turned around and walked toward the slab-type apartment building.
The project leader was currently overwrought because the blueprint was smudged by tea, blurring several lines.
When Ben entered, Manager Hanes, the person in charge, was like a drowning man clutching at a straw as he asked him, "Do you know how to draw blueprints?"
Ben mulled it over. "I can try."
Having seemingly found his savior, Manager Hanes regarded Ben as his distinguished guest and pulled him to his seat. "Hurry up and restore the smudged part of the blueprint for me. If you do me this favor, I will make sure to treat you well in the future."
