College student Li Mingzhe returns to his hometown to renovate his family's old house. His father, Li Jianguo, has already prepared 28,000 yuan for the overall project management fee, intending to continue entrusting the work to Zhang Dashan, an experienced local contractor. However, Li Mingzhe believes that since he can buy the materials himself, pay separately for the excavator, and hire laborers on his own, Zhang Dashan merely stands around giving orders. He insists that project coordination can be handled through WeChat groups and construction management apps. In front of everyone, he stops his father and firmly dismisses Zhang Dashan. Zhang Dashan neither argues nor makes a fuss. He simply reminds them, 'If you don't think I'm worth the money, then don't hire me,' before turning and walking away.
