The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

C612 – You Have Misunderstood

​Seeing the confusion and skepticism on the faces of those around him, the young man quickly pulled out his work ID from his pocket.

“Please look, everyone. I am from the Beijing Research Institute,” he declared.

“What I say represents both the Beijing Research Institute and science itself!”

“Don’t let him deceive you!”

The young man yelled emphatically.

The crowd started to give credence to his claims.

In this digital age, with technology at our fingertips, verifying such information online was a simple task.

“Ah! The young man is correct. Heavy metal pollution is a serious issue and tough to tackle. How could it possibly be resolved so quickly?”

“Could it really be a hoax?”

“We should probably call our relatives and tell them to avoid using the water for now.”

Reporters were snapping photos like mad, sensing a major scoop. If aired, this story could create an uproar…

​Just then, two vans sped by in the distance.

The vans were moving at an impressive clip.

Onlookers were taken aback. Could vans even go that fast?

Were they trying to take flight?

Director-general Zhang was equally shocked before his brow furrowed in displeasure. “What’s happening? Who are they? This is the city center; why are they driving so recklessly?”

The traffic police were not pleased either. Did they look like decorations?

“Stop, all of you, stop! What do you think you’re doing? This is the city center; speeding endangers lives!”

“Exactly, what’s your intention? You’re playing with people’s lives!”

“Come to a halt immediately, all of you stop!”

The traffic officers hurried to intercept them. With so many people around, if the vans lost control and charged in, the outcome would be disastrous. They couldn’t afford to let such an incident occur.

​But as soon as the vehicles came to a stop, the doors flew open, and a group of white-haired elders emerged.

The sight brought the young man to the brink of tears.

​At last, reinforcements had arrived!

Indeed, these elders were from the Beijing Research Institute, including a senior professor leading the team.

They were esteemed national figures, brimming with experience and significant achievements in water management.

“Teachers, professors, you’ve finally made it!”

“I’ve come all the way to Eastsea, and instead of a warm welcome, I nearly met my end.”

“He must have cut corners to make the water seem clean. Teacher, you must conduct a thorough investigation. We cannot let the people be swindled…”

The young man lunged forward and clung to the leg of one of the elders, sobbing uncontrollably.

“Scram!”

Almost immediately, the elder kicked the young man away.

He rushed over to Su Ming, beaming with a smile. “Ah, Mr. Su, I was wondering if you might still have any of those small, round pills left. Could you spare one for an old man…”

“Even half a pill would do, or just some scraps – I’d take them back for a thorough analysis!”

“Absolutely, absolutely!”Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The group of elders encircled Su Ming, their excitement palpable.

The young man stood there, completely bewildered.

​What was happening?

This wasn’t how things were supposed to go, was it?

“Teacher…”

He scrambled to his feet, but before he could utter another word, the elder turned and fixed him with a stern gaze. “Silence! You think I’m unaware of your antics in Eastsea? Director-general Zhang has briefed me thoroughly, even showing me the surveillance footage. You’ve tarnished the reputation of our Beijing Research Institute. As of today, you are no longer part of our ranks!”

“Furthermore, if you dare question the integrity of Mr. Su’s work, let me inform you that I’ve personally inspected the site. The water has been tested and is perfectly safe for consumption!”

“I’ve always said, don’t let a little knowledge go to your head. Haven’t you learned that education is a lifelong journey?”

The young man was struck speechless.

“This, this, this…”

It was all over!

He’d lost his job!

And to make matters worse, he’d been berated in front of an audience.

Once this story got out, not a single research institute would welcome him!

“Mr. Su, your invention is truly revolutionary!”

“Indeed, indeed. It has the potential to significantly enhance water quality, which is of utmost importance to us!”

“Mr. Su, you are…”

The elders’ conversation with Su Ming grew increasingly animated.

Oh, boy!

No more tears, please!

Su Ming was overwhelmed.

Handling a crying child was one thing, but consoling a group of weeping elders? That was another challenge altogether.

Good grief!

What are you up to now, old timer?

Could you please use your own clothes to wipe your nose?

Oh my goodness!

Would you mind letting go of my hand?

You’ve pinched my hand so hard it hurts, did you realize that?

Damn!

I put up with you pinching my hand, but kissing it? That’s just revolting!

Su Ming quickly pulled his hand away and retreated several steps. “You all can take your time examining that thing. I’m going to head out now.”

With that, Su Ming hurriedly returned to the house with Xiao Ke’er and shut the door.

Slam!

The door closed firmly!

“Ah!”

The group of elderly men had much more to say, but Su Ming had shut the door on them, leaving them in a state of urgency.

“Mr. Su, please don’t close the door. I have questions for you!”

“Mr. Su, I beg you to open the door. We could have a lengthy discussion!”

“If it comes to it, I’m even willing to stay the night!”

Truth be told, if an otaku were inside and a group of beautiful women were knocking on his door, he’d be ecstatic.

But it was a group of excited, white-haired old men outside.

Su Ming couldn’t handle it.

Please, just go away.

He was at his limit.

Sigh…

Back inside the villa, Su Ming finally let out a deep sigh of relief.

“Brother.”

Just then, Little Qing came downstairs.

“This is…”

Xiao Ke’er immediately stood up, her gaze shifting between Little Qing and Su Ming.

Keeping a beauty hidden away?

“Then… I should get going.”

A mist seemed to form over Xiao Ke’er’s eyes.

She snatched up her bag and turned to leave.

Su Ming paused, surprised. Was she feeling jealous?

“Hey, hey, hey! Don’t leave just yet. Let me explain!”

“She is… She’s my cousin, like Su Qiu.”

“Little Qing lost her parents when she was very young and was raised by the whole village. Recently, she quit her job because her boss was harassing her. My mom found out and suggested that Little Qing come to work as my assistant.”

“Little Qing doesn’t have a place to stay at the moment, so she’s living here. As you know, my villa is quite spacious, and it’s just me here.”
