Chapter 155

C155 – I Understand

He was well aware that President Chen had been a constant presence by Su Ming’s side, likely reaping considerable benefits.

Now, with President Chen as a rival, the addition of another competitor would only make things more challenging for him.

However, if it were just him and President Chen, there would be no issue.

It was, after all, just the two of them.

Mr. Su wasn’t one to be tightfisted; he would treat them both with fairness.

But with more people in the mix, the dynamics could shift.

As Wang Guohui drove, he mopped the sweat from his brow.

He had never imagined that at his age, these concerns would still weigh on him.

“Old Wang, is it so much to ask to meet him just once? Do you have a photo of him?”

“Old Sun, you’d better drop it!”

Wang Guohui brought the car to a stop at the red light, turning to face his friend with a seriousness he had never shown before: “Listen, Old Sun, we may be friends, but I’ve told you clearly—Mr. Su doesn’t want any disturbances. If you dare to bother him, I’m willing to take a financial hit just to cut our ties immediately!”

Wang Guohui meant every word.

The two had been friends for ages, having met in their youth, and such a stern warning from Wang Guohui was unprecedented.

Old Sun was no fool; he got the message loud and clear, silently nodding in understanding.

To Su Ming, wealth was merely an external asset, but the happiness derived from tilling the soil was irreplaceable. Yet, realizing such a vision would require significant expenditure. The land in question was prime city center real estate, valued at tens of billions.

Most crucially, Su Ming couldn’t voice these plans just yet. Proclaiming intentions to demolish the city’s heart and revert it to farmland would surely earn him the label of a madman. After all, securing a residence in or near the city center was a mark of prestige.

But Su Ming had gone beyond mere acquisition; he envisioned reducing buildings to fields. A twinge of concern lingered—could this patchwork of properties truly be unified into a single, fertile expanse? If, after all his efforts, he ended up with nothing more than ordinary farmland, it would all be for naught.

With a heavy sigh, Su Ming’s contemplation was interrupted by the sound of footsteps at the door. In that moment, he realized he had perhaps developed a new skill.

The footsteps were firm and strong, signaling the approach of President Chen.

Looking up, Su Ming confirmed it was indeed President Chen.

But the man before him now was a stark contrast to his former self.

After taking the medicine, President Chen had been robust, yet his complexion remained pallid.

Now, he strode confidently, his posture erect, his cheeks flushed with health.

His looks hadn’t changed much, but the transformation was undeniable.

Su Ming couldn’t help but be amused.

Noticing the dark circles under President Chen’s eyes, Su Ming deduced he likely hadn’t slept a wink the previous night.

“Mr. Su, you’re truly remarkable. I’ve never experienced such potent fennel!” President Chen exclaimed, rubbing his hands together with enthusiasm.

“It’s been ages since I’ve felt like this,” he said, his excitement palpable.

Feeling slightly awkward, Su Ming quickly steered the conversation in a different direction.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
