Chapter 134
C134 – A Busy Construction Site!
“Hello,” Su Ming greeted, reaching out his hand. They shook hands briefly.
The boss was on the verge of tears. He had just shaken hands with Mr. Su! It was an immense honor for him.
“Rest assured, Mr. Su, we will construct the most impeccable wall for you in record time to meet your daily agricultural needs!” the boss declared, thumping his chest with confidence.
Su Ming observed the workers, buzzing with energy as if they had been given a shot of adrenaline. He blinked, puzzled. Had they all taken the Body-stretching Pill? He had simply asked for a wall to be built.
Yet, the boss had personally arrived, fully prepared. Gathering such a quantity of materials in a brief period was no small feat. The boss had mobilized the entire construction site, directing them to transport only the finest materials. They were in luck; a wall was already scheduled for construction at another site, and since the factory was for their own use, they had access to premium materials. That’s how they managed to deliver everything so swiftly.
“There’s no need to rush,” Su Ming said with a smile.
But the boss was adamant, shaking his head vigorously. “Mr. Su, please don’t worry. We understand your expectations and I assure you, we’ll complete the task as quickly as possible!” Without waiting for a response, he signaled the workers to start, and they sprang into action.
“Mr. Su, I’ll leave you be!” With that, the boss headed to the construction site to oversee the work.
Su Ming blinked again. This boss was the head of a construction company and was acutely aware of the value of the central building. Demolishing an entire building and reverting it to farmland was a colossal task, typically requiring at least half a month. Yet, Su Ming had accomplished it overnight, a testament to his significant influence.
This time, the boss had taken it upon himself to be present. Not only was he personally involved, but he also supervised the workers on-site. He had even tripled their wages and hired a chef to set up a small kitchen nearby. He was determined to ensure the workers had ample energy and unwavering morale to build a wall that was nothing short of perfection. He had also instructed the village head to spare no effort in supporting the project.
At that moment, Su Ming sat in a chair, his eyes closed in contemplation.
The gift had taken him by surprise, but what astonished him even more was the System’s fusion of the two parcels of land.
He had never entertained such a possibility, having resigned himself to the idea of forever owning just two acres.
Recently, Su Ming had made a trip back home.
Although he had considerable farmland there, the System had remained silent, suggesting that perhaps only adjacent lands could be merged.
Any other combination seemed out of the question.
From a bird’s-eye view, Su Ming’s location formed a perfect square, encased by four major roads at its borders.
He stood on a vacant lot, with two major trading firms at his back.
Beside him rose the imposing Guoxing Building, along with the newly acquired empty plot.
Several towering buildings flanked the area, their collective presence creating a square enclosure.
A thought struck Su Ming: if he were to acquire all the surrounding structures, the expanse of his land would multiply exponentially.
Money had never been Su Ming’s driving force.
Yet now, he pondered whether he should amass more wealth to purchase all the neighboring properties.
This time, Su Ming had resolved to cultivate vegetables, fruits, and other crops.
He phoned the shopkeeper, requesting a delivery of additional items.
Perhaps he should consider planting coconut trees?
The idea of growing fruit had long appealed to Su Ming.
But anyone who had visited an orchard knew well the low density at which fruit trees could be planted; a mere two acres could hardly accommodate a few.
Now, however, the situation had changed; three acres had appeared as if from thin air.
All of Su Ming’s previous plantings, including the cacti, had withered after harvest.
He was curious to see if fruit trees might yield a different outcome.
Could it be that each harvest would bring a new surprise, given the land’s remarkably short growth cycle?
The prospect of harvesting every couple of days thrilled him.
Yet, Su Ming realized his landholdings were still insufficient.
He should consider establishing another breeding farm, in line with his ranch system.
Previously, the limited size of his land had curbed such ambitions.
But with enough acreage, Su Ming might just see his plans come to fruition.
All of a sudden, Su Ming found himself with a multitude of admirers. It must be acknowledged that the gift from Wang Guohui had ushered in a whole new world for Su Ming.
