At the construction site, Chen Jincai takes his last drag, tosses the cigarette butt on the ground, and grinds it beneath his foot. "New Year's is almost here. Let's wrap up."
Their foreman has a construction contract in Southeast Asia, supposedly to build a technology park for an internet company. Hmph. As if Chen Jincai doesn't know what it's really for.
