Lin Xuan Qi was pleasantly surprised by their gestures, but he frowned at them.
He was glad that they had the courage and determination to try and help him, even though it was not out of actual concern for him.
It was, after all, very normal for someone to think more about their livelihood first over someone whom they'd just met.
However, courage and determination had to be used in certain situations, and it was best if these new workers had the mind to think about that.
If they had come out of the factory earlier, they might not have helped and could have caused the opposite of what they wanted.
These new workers would be a hindrance to his guards and himself dealing with the thugs sent by the rice merchants.
Lin Xuan Qi shook his head and pointed at the brooms, hammers and tools they had in their hands and said with a stern voice, "You will have to pay for these if you break them."
"We... We are sorry, Master Lin." The workers quickly apologized and put down their arms.
