Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Actually, this is a new product that I developed recently,” Chen Ming said.

Qin Qing had originally been waiting for Chen Ming’s answer excitedly. When she heard him say that this product was developed by him, her eyes widened in shock.

“R-really?” She swallowed her saliva and asked tentatively, “Are you sure you’re not joking with me?”

If one listened carefully, her voice was trembling.

Qin Qing already could tell. She knew that Chen Ming would not lie to her, but she had to hear it from his mouth.

These new products had emerged one after another, and they were all breakthroughs in their respective fields, which really dazzled her.

After a moment, Chen Ming nodded his head in admission.

He had never hidden such things from Qin Qing, and there was no need to start hiding things now.

Qin Qing was stunned for a moment before she broke free from her surprise. When she gathered her thoughts, she was overcome with joy.

“Chen Ming, you’re amazing!” Qin Qing held the seemingly ordinary red bottle like she was holding a treasure.

“The effects of this whitening cream are so good. Once it’s released into the market, it will definitely make a name for itself in the skincare industry!”

Qin Qing was so excited that she paced back and forth in front of Chen Ming, and she couldn’t stop muttering, “The skincare and beauty industry is different from the new energy market, and has a wider reach. If we make a name for ourselves there…”

“We’ll make a lot of money!”

Qin Qing rubbed her hands in anticipation.

After she said that, she patted Chen Ming’s shoulder with a determined look in her eyes.

“Keep up the good work and try to develop more products. I’ll support you!”

Without waiting for Chen Ming’s reply, Qin Qing left to study about how to make this whitening cream famous among the many skincare products on the market.

Chen Ming shrugged helplessly.

Things were progressing unexpectedly fast.

[Boss Wang: Mr. Chen Ming, you can come over and have a look at the house now.]

[Boss Wang: I’m sorry, as I am unable to personally show you around, but I’ve asked my best agent to wait for you at the entrance of the neighborhood. He will give you a more detailed introduction to the house.]

The next morning, when Chen Ming checked his messages, he smiled brilliantly.

Boss Want was indeed a famous real estate tycoon. He had asked for a house recommendation yesterday, and it was already ready for viewing today. He was a professional through and through.

Chen Ming then replied.

[Chen Ming: Okay, I’ll head there now.]

After sending off the message, Chen Ming tried to recall the address in his mind…

Dongyang district, No. 108.

The house was a small detached villa, located within a cluster of villas. The environment around the neighborhood was beautiful, and the surrounding greenery was one of the best within the city. Moreover, even though this villa was situated in the city center, it was not noisy.

What attracted Chen Ming the most was that the villas were not too close to each other. Furthermore, the security arrangements were also top-notch. It was both safe and private, which suited him.

This villa could almost satisfy all of Chen Ming’s requirements for a place to stay.

After getting dressed, Chen Ming noticed that Qin Qing was still busy with her planning, so he did disturb her and left on his own to the Dongyang district.

Twenty minutes later, Chen Ming’s car came to a halt at the main entrance to the neighborhood.

He took off his sunglasses and looked around.

Just as Boss Wang had described, the Fengshui was good, and the mountains and rivers were beautiful.

Satisfied, he got out of the car and saw an agent in a suit waiting for him at the side door of the entrance.

“Hello, are you Mr. Chen?” The agent gave Chen Ming a practiced smile and greeted him warmly.

He had received a message to take good care of Chen Ming. This had been an order from the Wang Group’s headquarters, and Boss Wang had personally requested a warm reception. Therefore, the agent did not dare to be careless in his interactions with Chen Ming.

He had thought that Chen Ming would be a difficult customer. However, he was surprised to see Chen Ming return the smile and greet him warmly.

This made the agent heave a sigh of relief.

The agent then personally led Chen Ming to the best villa in the neighborhood.

After walking for less than three minutes, Chen Ming and the agent arrived in front of the villa.

Even though Chen Ming had read through the information regarding the villa, he was still pleasantly surprised when he saw it in person.

In the small yard in front of the villa, vines covered the antique red walls. The yard was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and had a retro style to it.

When they entered the villa, Chen Ming was even more satisfied with the overall layout, which was in line with his aesthetics, even though the interior had not been fully renovated or furnished.

“Mr. Chen Ming, are you satisfied?” The agent, who was introducing the various aspects of the villa, wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked nervously.

Chen Ming did not make things difficult for him and simply said, “I’m satisfied.”

With that, the agent continued to show him the villa as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

When they took the elevator to the second floor, and the elevator door opened, Chen Ming noticed the waste construction materials in the villa.

His eyes lit up.

These were materials that could be processed by the system. He was quite lucky, it seemed.

Although there was not a lot of it, it was still free stuff.

While Chen Ming was feeling happy, the agent noticed his gaze focused on the waste construction materials and mistakenly thought that Chen Ming was dissatisfied. He said in a trembling voice, “Mr. Chen, I’ll get someone to take the waste construction materials away later. It won’t hinder your renovation plans.”

However, Chen Ming waved his hand and said, “”There’s no need to remove it.”

“Eh, alright. Ah?” The agent had not expected that Chen Ming would refuse his help. He was confused.

“I’ll handle it myself. I’m very satisfied with this villa,” Chen Ming said simply.

“Please go ahead and sort out the contract. I want to tour the place by myself.”

He could only activate the system when there was no one around him.

Since Chen Ming had said so, the agent naturally did not stick around any longer.

However, he was curious. He was aware of Chen Ming’s profession as someone who ran a garbage processing plant. If he had not allowed the agent to deal with the waste construction materials, did it mean that he was going to handle it personally? Was this due to an occupation habit or tic?

The agent shook his head and left the villa in confusion.

After he left, Chen Ming looked at the waste construction materials with a smile. This stuff was trash to others, but treasure to him.

Chen Ming summoned the system.

“System, process these waste construction materials.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the system naturally got down to work.

[Ding! Processing was successful. Congratulations! The host has obtained yellow rosewood furniture. No assembly is required, and it was carved from a single piece of wood, which increases its value.]

Rosewood furniture!

Chen Ming could no longer hide the smile on his face.

However, before he could do anything else, the system’s voice rang out again.

[Ding! The system’s experience points have reached the threshold. The system has been automatically upgraded.]

[Upgrade reward: Garbage processing quota/garbage processing skill level +1, Constitution-enhancing potion, etc.]

[Skill reward: Replacement. The skill can be used on the processing machine once, increasing the efficiency of its usage quota.]

Chen Ming’s eyes widened as he heard the system’s continuous notifications.

Another system upgrade?
