C82 – Sothing Had Happened to Su Ming’s Family
The following morning, Su Ming woke up early.
At the construction site, the workers were still diligently toiling away.
The cacti in the field had already sprouted, but they needed a couple more days to fully mature, so Su Ming wasn’t in a rush.
Just as Su Ming contemplated how to pass the ti, a familiar figure appeared at the entrance.
Su Ming took a closer look and recognized President Chen.
Was he passing by again today?
“Mr. Su!”
Upon spotting Su Ming, President Chen briskly approached. “I apologize, Mr. Su, for intruding on your ti once more.”
“President Chen, have you had your al?”
Su Ming inquired.
“Yes.”
President Chen responded with a smile. “Mr. Su, please don’t be upset. Since our last workout together, I’ve noticed significant improvents in my physical condition. On days when I’m not working, I feel sore all over. I realized that it’s been a few days since I last ca here, and the weeds must have grown taller. That’s why I ca to lend a hand with weeding.”
So, President Chen’s visit was intentional this ti.
He had co to assist with the weeding.
Unfortunately, these young plants had just erged from the ground, and President Chen was about to rid them.
“Mr. Su, please don’t decline my offer. It’s a rare opportunity for to connect with the soil, savor the earth’s aroma, and reminisce about my childhood days working in the fields with my parents…”
As President Chen spoke, he beca slightly emotional, wiping away a couple of tears that welled up in his eyes.
His acting skills were impressive!
Su Ming couldn’t help but give him a thumbs up.
This man must be a movie star!
“Alright, then I’ll gladly accept your help.”
Since President Chen had poured his heart out, Su Ming couldn’t refuse.
President Chen’s sincerity was evident in his tone, gaze, and actions.
Upon hearing this, President Chen bead with joy. He removed his leather shoes, rolled up his sleeves, fetched a bucket of water, and proceeded to water, fertilize, and weed with enthusiasm.
Su Ming stood by, sowhat stunned. President Chen was remarkably skilled at farming.
He felt pleased that President Chen was tending to the watering and fertilizing.
Since he couldn’t be of assistance, Su Ming sighed and moved to the side.
The main structure of the villa had been erected, and the windows were already in place.
Interior decoration work was underway.
“Mr. Su, what are your preferences for the interior design?”
The project manager approached Su Ming with haste.
“I don’t have any specific requests; a standard design will suffice. However, the villa must prioritize safety.”
Su Ming pondered briefly before responding.
Even with the System, he wasn’t immune to harm.
If sothing were to happen to him, it would be truly unfortunate.
After all, he still aid to lead a happy life with the assistance of the System.
“Mr. Su, you can count on us to prioritize safety,” the project manager assured, patting his chest in affirmation.
“How’s the progress of the underground garage?”
Su Ming inquired.
“Mr. Su, we initiated the excavation last night.”
The person in charge appeared a bit fatigued, but his enthusiasm remained high.
They employed advanced mining techniques, intending to install support fras once they dug a bit further to reinforce the cave.
The next step involved laying the foundation.
The construction progress was remarkably swift.
“Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we’re confident that we can complete it within three days!”
The person in charge exclaid with assurance.
Su Ming expressed his satisfaction upon hearing this.
Such rapid construction speed was truly impressive.
Su Ming conducted an inspection of the construction site and then went out for breakfast before returning.
Just as Su Ming re-entered the courtyard, his phone unexpectedly rang.
Retrieving his phone, he noticed it was a call from his mother.
Su Ming blinked, recalling that a few days ago, he had transferred 20,000 yuan to his parents, explaining that he had earned it through his work.
It wasn’t that Su Ming was unwilling to provide more financial support to his parents, but he was concerned they might not readily accept it.
He preferred they gradually adapt to it.
While Su Ming’s mother missed him dearly most of the ti, she also understood that he was busy with work, so she seldom contacted him.
Why was she calling today of all days?
Su Ming didn’t hesitate and answered the call.
“Son, how’s work going lately? Don’t overexert yourself. Your health is the most important thing.”
As soon as the call connected, Lee Sui’s voice sounded from the other end of the line.
However, upon closer listening, her voice carried an undertone of weariness.
“It’s alright, Mom. I’m not usually swamped with work, and I rarely have to work overti. Mom, I don’t need more money. You both don’t have to work as hard as before. You should take more rest and enjoy your als. Don’t hold back.”
Su Ming replied with a smile.
“I understand.”
Lee Sui responded, “Hurry up and find a nice girl to marry so we can be at ease. I’ll hang up now. I won’t disrupt your work, okay?”
Sothing felt off to Su Ming upon hearing this.
Previously, before his mother called, she would always send a text ssage in advance to inquire if he was available.
She had never called him during work hours. He could sense that she was hiding sothing.
“Mom, what’s going on? Did sothing happen?”
Su Ming furrowed his brow slightly, growing tense.
He didn’t require the System, the land, or the money in his account. But he couldn’t bear any harm coming to his parents.
“Don’t overthink it. Nothing bad has occurred. I just wanted to hear your voice.”
Lee Sui sensed Su Ming’s anxiety and reassured him hastily.
“Mom, rember that I’m your son. Tell , what’s going on at ho? What’s happened?”
Su Ming’s brow furrowed deeper, his tone growing urgent. He was certain that sothing had transpired back ho, given his mother’s words.
Lee Sui remained silent for a few seconds on the other end of the line. Finally, she spoke with a quavering voice, “Sothing has happened to your father…”
“What? Mom, don’t worry. What’s wrong? What’s happened to Dad?”
Su Ming’s frown deepened, and he asked urgently.
President Chen had initially been tending to the plants, but upon hearing this, he was taken aback. What was wrong? Had sothing occurred in Mr. Su’s family?
If that were the case, he needed to assist Mr. Su!
