"With this change, the crew just isn't enough." Miranda thought for a moment and asked, “Is this issue going to persist or is it temporary?" A one-tblueprint change with a slight delay was acceptable. But frequent changes and constant delays weren't.

Jack replied, “I think we'll need to make a few more adjustments to the plans, and with our current, workforce.. it won't be sufficient." "I see. Should we find two more construction crews then?" Jack chuckled, half in exasperation. "You think construction crews are like vegetables in the market? Like they're available anytyou pay?" "Aren't they?" Chapter 0572 +25 BONUS "Of course not! Good crews are booked up for the whole year; you can't just call them up.” "What if we pay extra?" asked Miranda.

Jack shook his head. "Even if we offered more money, it wouldn't cover the cancellation penalties they'd have to pay. And even if it did, it would damage their reputation-no one's going to ruin their own business for us." Miranda didn't understand. "You mean, even if we're willing to spend, we still can't find a good crew?" "We could find one, but whether it's the right fit is a different story. We haven't worked together before, there's no reliable recommendation, and the risks are high." On a construction site, even a minor accident could quickly escalate into a major issue. One could never fully know someone's intentions-who's to say they won't try something underhanded? By then, it would be too late for regrets..

"So, I wouldn't recommend hiring just anyone." Miranda sighed.

"Don't worry. I'll work on a solution as soon as possible. It's nearly noon-let's grab slunch?” "Alright, thanks, Jack," "There's no need to be so formal, Mimi..."

There was a diner nearby that delivered boxed lunches to the m construction site daily. Jack would usually eat with the workers, but since Miranda was visiting, he opted to dine-in with her. "Two chicken sandwiches, please!" he called out.

The owner turned, smiling warmly. “Ah, it's you, Mr. Jack! Got your wife with you today?" Jack scratched his head. "This is my cousin."

"No wonder she's so beautiful! The whole family's got good looks! Sit m tight, I'll get your food food ready." The owner cheerfully greeted them and then went over to the cutting board to start preparing their food.

"Hey, we were here first. Why are you giving them priority?" a man said clearly irritated. My boss cto check the site, and now you're puttingin a tough spot." "Oh! My apologies, I just- "Never mind," said a calm voice. "It won't take long to make two chicken sandwiches. Let them go first." Though he wore a work suit and helmet, there was something refined about the man. It seemed like this was... the boss? That explained it! "Mr. Cooper," the man protested, clearly upset, "We're pressed for ttoo, and we were here first..."
