The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

C107 – Back to the City Center!

Fong Yuemei and Su Hai were witnessing such opulence for the very first time.

Luxury cars with price tags soaring over ten million yuan were beyond their realm of experience.

The sudden appearance of such a vehicle was almost too much for them to process.

They ran a modest factory in town and their son was the general manager, which led them to believe Su Ming might look upon them with envy.

Yet, to their surprise, they discovered that Su Ming and his family were even wealthier and more influential.

“Son, who is Zhang Chongyang?” Fong Yuemei asked tentatively, after a brief pause.

She had a hunch that Zhang Chongyang was connected to the banking industry and held a significant position.

Upon hearing his mother’s question, Su Tian inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly.

“Mom, just to give you an idea, even my father-in-law wouldn’t dare cross Mr. Zhang,” he explained.

The couple gasped at the revelation. The most influential person they knew was their son’s father-in-law, and now this.

They were astounded. How had Lee Sumei and Su Tao, who just days ago were pleading for a loan at their doorstep, become so affluent and commanding?

The trio stood at the doorway, engulfed in awkwardness, and ultimately slinked away.

Meanwhile, the banquet buzzed with energy.

The villagers relished the feast, and with a bit of alcohol, the cheerfulness escalated.

Su Ming was the center of attention, flanked by personalities like Principal Ding and Zhang Chongyang.

It was well past four in the afternoon by the time the guests began to trickle out. After settling the bill, Su Ming departed with his parents.

From that day on, Lee Sumei and Su Tao were met with beaming faces wherever they went. Such is the nature of people—ever pragmatic.

That evening, the family of three sat down to a lavish meal.

The spread was extravagant, thanks to Su Ming reserving ten extra tables of food at the restaurant.

He had packed up the meals from two of those tables, keeping a portion for their dinner.

“Mom, Dad, I’ll need to head back tomorrow,” Su Ming announced, setting down his chopsticks and smiling.

“You head on back, we’re as fit as fiddles!” Su Tao chuckled, thumping his chest to show his vigor.

“Don’t fret over us.”

Lee Sumei beamed with pride, her heart swelled with contentment at her son’s accomplishments. “You go on with your work. The money you’ve left us will more than cover our needs.”

“Alright.”

Su Ming nodded thoughtfully before speaking up, “Mom, Dad, leave the house construction to me. You two should quickly find a place to rent in town for the next few days. I’ll get the construction crew started on the house soon.”

“Okay.”

Lee Sumei and Su Tao had no objections.

They understood that if they disagreed, they would only become a source of concern for their son.

After all, Su Ming was a devoted and dutiful child.

The night passed quietly, and by the next morning,

Su Ming bid farewell to his parents and drove back.

By his calculations, the cacti in the field should have been ripe by now.

And considering the construction team’s efficiency, the villa and the underground parking lot were likely complete.

Thinking of this, Su Ming’s excitement grew, and he pressed the accelerator a little harder.

What was normally a three or four-hour drive took him just two hours.

Having been away for a few days, Su Ming found himself missing the place dearly.

His previous way of life had been so leisurely and satisfying.

It’s no wonder that many of the talented ancients enjoyed farming—such a tranquil existence was truly delightful.

“Mr. Su, you’ve returned at last!”

The construction team’s foreman, spotting the approaching car, came over in a rush.

“Thank you for all your hard work.”

Su Ming said with a smile as he stepped out of the car.

“It’s our privilege to work for Mr. Su. The villa and parking lot are finished. Please, have a look.”

“Really?”

Su Ming was pleasantly surprised by the construction team’s swift progress.

He strolled in, first glancing at the wheat field on his right, lush and verdant, obscuring the cacti’s progress from view.

But Su Ming wasn’t worried; he headed straight for the villa.

Inside the villa was a spacious courtyard, complete with a swimming pool and a walkway amidst the green lawn.

Adjacent stood the villa itself, its interior decor exuding opulence.

Su Ming examined the details meticulously, finding everything to be impeccable and well-appointed.

Particularly impressive were the two subterranean levels—the construction team had built a vast basement per Su Ming’s specifications, boasting substantial storage capabilities.

They had even thoughtfully installed numerous security locks and safes.

Su Ming took a moment to inspect the underground garage. Spanning nearly 2,000 square meters across two levels, the space was impressively large.

Under normal circumstances, constructing a parking facility of this magnitude would take at least several months, if not half a year.

But with financial leverage, the timeline for the project had been significantly reduced.

“Excellent!”

Su Ming expressed his satisfaction.

The construction crew breathed a collective sigh of relief upon hearing his approval.

Curious about Su Ming’s background, they had done some digging.

Eventually, they were astounded to learn from President Chen that this parcel of land was merely one asset among many in Su Ming’s portfolio, and not even a particularly large one at that.

Their respect for Su Ming grew even further.

“Oh, and there’s something I’ll need your help with in a few days.”

Su Ming turned to the construction team’s leader. “My parents live out in the countryside, and I’d like you to build a villa for them.”

“Consider it done!” the leader responded, thumping his chest with assurance.

“Just a standard two-story villa will do.”

Su Ming pondered for a moment, realizing his parents wouldn’t require an overly spacious home.

“Rest assured, we’ve handled many projects like this before. You can count on us!” the leader quickly added.

Su Ming’s comments signaled his deep satisfaction with the work thus far.

His words were not only a nod of approval but also a motivating spur for the team.
