The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

Chapter 468 - Tangram Horse

Zhang Qianqian and Su Qiu shared a close bond.

Since he started high school, he hadn't seen or been in touch with Zhang Qianqian much, but Su Qiu was a different story. They frequently got together.

They even went out for fun recently.

Having been apart for nearly a month or two, Su Qiu was likely thrilled at the prospect of reuniting with Zhang Qianqian.

Plus, Su Qiu lived in a studio apartment, making it easy for Zhang Qianqian to move in.

The two young women were of a similar age and shared comparable lifestyles, so living together would be more practical for them.

Indeed, Su Qiu was overjoyed upon hearing the news, nearly leaping with excitement.

It had been a while since their last meeting. Once Su Ming had brought their bags up to the apartment, the two girls were so engrossed in catching up that they paid him no mind. Su Ming just smiled and kept to himself. He discreetly sent Su Qiu some money, encouraging her to treat Zhang Qianqian to a good time.

After bidding farewell, he departed.

Shortly thereafter, Su Ming arrived at the complex with his parents.

Boss Fong was already there, waiting eagerly.

He quickly stepped up to welcome them, about to address Mr. Su, but catching Su Ming's gaze, he instantly grasped the situation. After a moment's hesitation and a grit of his teeth, he cautiously inquired, “Su Ming, have your parents arrived?”

”Yes,” Su Ming confirmed with a nod. At that moment, Su Tao and Lee Sumei also stepped out of the car. Su Ming popped the trunk and retrieved two suitcases.

”I've got this,” Boss Fong offered, stepping up briskly.

Su Tao, upon seeing Boss Fong, looked puzzled. He furrowed his brow and asked, “Who's this?”

With a cheerful grin, Su Ming introduced Boss Fong to his parents: “Dad, Mom, this is my boss. You can call him Boss Fong. He's a great guy.”

”Absolutely,” Boss Fong chimed in quickly, though inside he was in a panic. He stealthily wiped the sweat from his brow, thinking to himself, “How could I possibly be Mr. Su's boss?”

From the side, Lee Sumei chimed in, “Is my son doing well at the company?”

Boss Fong said cheerfully, “He's done an excellent job. Let me tell you, your son managed a project that was a resounding success, bringing in hundreds of millions for our company. The bonus alone was in the tens of millions. The house you'll be staying in is a reward from the company to Su Ming.”

Upon hearing this, Su Ming gave a slight nod. Boss Fong's statement certainly spared him a lot of explanations about his wealth and home ownership.

Su Tao chuckled, “Ah, I see. Boss Fong, I appreciate how you've mentored my son.”

Boss Fong responded with flattery, “You're too kind. Your son is incredibly talented. Within just a few months at our company, he's made significant contributions. I'm planning to invest in him, to have him start his own company, with us as partners. It's simply a waste to have someone of your son's caliber working under me.”

Su Tao and Lee Sumei were, of course, delighted to hear this. They couldn't help but feel proud of their son's exceptional achievements.

They soon went upstairs with their luggage.

The house was already beautifully furnished with the finest decor. The couple had never experienced such luxury before.

Even though they lived in a villa back home, their lifestyle remained modest.

Their diet and attire had not changed from before. They were astonished by the opulence before them.

“Please rest assured, both of you. Everything here has been provided by the company, including the utilities,” Boss Fong assured them.

“It's getting late, and I don't want to keep you from resting. I'll take my leave now.”

As Boss Fong turned to leave, Su Ming interjected, “Wait a moment. Isn't there still some unfinished business at the company? I should head over and put in some overtime.”

Boss Fong paused, then quickly understood, “Su Ming, your parents have just arrived…”

Su Tao and Lee Sumei quickly gestured, “No worries, the company's business takes precedence.”

”Very well,” Boss Fong agreed with a reluctant nod.

Su Ming reassured them with a smile, “Mom and Dad, don't worry about me. I have a place right next to the company. Boss Fong has even set me up with a bachelor apartment, which makes it more convenient for me to get to work.”

”That's a relief,” the elderly couple said, nodding in agreement. It was comforting to know that Su Ming had a place to rest. It's a common thing for young people these days to burn the midnight oil and work overtime.

Descending the stairs with Boss Fong trailing behind, the man's posture shrank as he followed Su Ming with great deference. “Mr. Su, I hope I didn't make any errors today?” he inquired.

”You've done quite well,” Su Ming responded, nodding with a smile.

“Would you like me to arrange a personal driver for your parents?” Boss Fong offered.

After a moment's consideration, Su Ming shook his head. “No, let's not. They enjoy their independence. Having a driver would just make them uncomfortable. If they need to travel far, I can take them myself.”

”Understood!” Boss Fong agreed with a nod.

As Su Ming approached the door to leave, he bid farewell to Boss Fong and drove straight back to his property. Night had fallen, and darkness enveloped everything.

Glancing at the clock, he noted it was past seven. Parking in the garage, Su Ming strolled to his yard's gate and opened it, immediately greeted by the fragrance of the soil.

Back in the villa, he shed his clothes and donned a set of work attire. After a quick face wash at the tap, he grabbed his hoe and headed to his garden. Despite the low density of the crops, he knew he couldn't afford to slack off.

Confronting some particularly robust weeds, Su Ming wasted no time in pulling them out by the roots. As he toiled away, something caught his eye. He looked down and jumped at the sight of the Dangerous Sweet Potato.

It appeared rather menacing, having grown into the shape of a bomb. Round and black, half-buried in the earth with a skull painted on the exposed side. Most strikingly, a fuse sprouted from the top, crackling with sparks. Though the fuse wasn't short, the sight was still unnerving.

Checking the time again, Su Ming estimated that it wouldn't be long before he could harvest the Dangerous Sweet Potato. Then it struck him—if his calculations were right, the Tangram Horse should be ripe by now!

Su Ming tossed his hoe to the ground and hurried off toward the herding area. Upon arrival, he was taken aback and couldn't help but let out a long, heartfelt sigh.
