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!This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

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!

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.
