The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

C24 – A Pay Raise

A hearty laugh escaped Su Ming’s lips uncontrollably.

The System had already exhibited considerable power before its level-up; contemplating its enhanced might was exhilarating.

His anticipation was palpable!

With this thought filling him with vigor, Su Ming descended to tend to the grass.

Just then, an Audi approached from a short distance away.

Seated in the back of the car, President Chen had his eyes shut, seeking a moment’s reprieve.

Out of nowhere, the vehicle jerked, causing President Chen to bump his forehead.

He winced in discomfort, his face twisted in pain.

“Mr. President, I apologize!”

The driver swiftly turned around, offering an apologetic explanation, “There’s an unexpected pothole on this road.”

“You.”

President Chen began to speak, poised to reprimand the driver, but then his gaze was suddenly arrested by a figure.

Why did this person look so familiar?

President Chen squinted to get a better look.

Wasn’t that his prominent client, Su Ming?

Was Su Ming really tending to crops?

Indeed, he was cultivating crops.

Right here in the city center!

This vacant plot was worth a staggering ten billion!

President Chen stood there, mouth agape, and eyes wide, questioning the very essence of his existence.

He had exhausted all his attempts to speculate on Su Ming’s background.

He had contemplated whether Su Ming might be the scion of a financial magnate.

Or perhaps he was the heir to a real estate tycoon.

Even the possibility of Su Ming hailing from a prominent dynasty had crossed his mind.

But now he recognized the limitations of his narrow thinking.

He was just an ordinary individual. How could someone ordinary ever fathom Su Ming’s intentions?

In reality, Su Ming was farming right in the heart of the city, on a plot of land valued at an astonishing ten billion!

“Well done!”

President Chen’s sudden outburst upon seeing the driver took the driver by surprise.

What was happening?

Had the president lost his senses for a moment?

“President.”

The driver blinked and stammered.

“You’ve done an excellent job. I’m highly pleased. You’ll receive a raise when we return.”

President Chen promptly disembarked from the car and added, “You can drive the car back; I’ll make my own way.”

The driver felt bewildered. He couldn’t grasp the situation, but he obediently drove off.

President Chen adjusted his tie, cleared his throat, and then strolled into the open area, wearing a contented smile.

“Who’s there?”

Su Ming heard footsteps behind him, momentarily taken aback, and turned to encounter a cheerful, familiar face. “Ah, it’s you, President Chen.”

President Chen scratched his head and inquired, “Mr. Su, what are you up to?”

Su Ming responded, “Farming.”

President Chen quickly nodded.

It was evident to him that Su Ming was indeed tending to his farm, which occupied land worth ten billion.

However, a sense of intrigue overcame him.

Outside the city lay vast expanses of land suitable for farming, yet Su Ming was insistent on cultivating crops in the city center.

He voiced his bafflement, remarking that he couldn’t comprehend the ways of the affluent.

Never before had he witnessed anyone tilling soil in the heart of the city.

“Mr. Su, does this land belong to you?” President Chen blinked, swallowed nervously, and inquired about his most pressing question.

Su Ming nodded, replying, “Yes, it belongs to me. Do you have any concerns?”

President Chen promptly shook his head.

Having made up his mind, President Chen scanned his surroundings.

President Chen possessed shrewdness, a quality that had propelled him from an ordinary employee to the bank’s president.

He blinked again and surveyed the area.

President Chen’s intelligence shone through; otherwise, he wouldn’t have risen to the position of bank president.

Blinking once more, President Chen queried, “Are you weeding?”

Su Ming nodded and confirmed, “Yes.”

“Let me help you.”

President Chen promptly shed his expensive suit, tossing it aside. He rolled up his sleeves, removed his shoes, and grasped the hoe that Su Ming had been using.
