The foreman is the manager of the construction site where Wu Yin works a temporary job moving bricks. He initially fails to pay Wu Yin her wages after she completes the work, leading her to move the bricks back in retaliation. He is confrontational and stubborn, calling the police to report Wu Yin for moving the bricks, claiming it blocked the construction site entrance. He is opportunistic, trying to take advantage of Wu Yin because she is a young girl without identification. He backs down when Tan Ci and his lawyers arrive, realizing he is outmatched and agreeing to pay her wages. He is practical, wanting to avoid legal trouble, but he is also angry and frustrated at the situation. He is not deeply characterized but represents a minor antagonist in Wu Yin's efforts to earn money. He is the catalyst for Tan Ci's intervention at the police station.
