Chapter Index

    At this time, the air quality further deteriorated, and many people walking around were wearing masks and similar items.

    Additionally, Su Ming saw many people queuing in some open spaces, holding various plastic containers.

    At the end of the line, a water truck was parked, with a red rescue symbol painted on its side.

    At this moment, several children who were queuing for water turned their heads to look at the hovercar Su Ming was riding in, a hint of longing appearing in their numb eyes.

    “Father, is the Lower City District very short on water?” Su Ming asked calmly.

    “It’s alright, wasn’t there rain during the recent rainy season?” Su Yuan replied casually, not thinking much of it.

    Su Ming was silent for a moment, then said to Su Yuan, “Father, didn’t you say last time that you could get a mech simulation trainer?”

    “Of course, no problem, but why do you want that now that the City Exam is over?”

    “I want it, and if possible, preferably a new model.”

    “Alright, no problem! Give your dad some time, and I’ll definitely get it for you.” Su Yuan replied, taking full responsibility.

    “Thank you, Father.”

    The reason Su Ming wanted a cockpit was so that he could train regularly. Although the City Exam was over, it didn’t mean everything was perfectly fine. After all, one’s skills were their own, and striving to become stronger would certainly not be wrong.

    Soon after, the black hovercar drove to the waste treatment plant.

    The structure of the junkyard was very simple: the outermost part consisted of office buildings, and further inside were open-air sorting areas, storage areas, and so on.

    Soon, the black hovercar parked at the main entrance of the main office building.

    The main office building itself was square in shape, with blue glass curtain walls covering its surface. It wasn’t very tall, only five stories high, about twenty meters.

    At this moment, Hu Jia immediately scurried over, eagerly opening the car door.

    “Master, uh? Young Master, you’ve come too.” Hu Jia was very surprised to see Su Ming sitting inside the car.

    In his impression, Young Master Su Ming had never visited the company.

    “Mm.” Su Ming nodded slightly in response.

    “Son, come with me! Your old man will give you a good tour to familiarize you with the company.” Su Yuan said to Su Ming excitedly.

    “Okay.” Su Ming followed Su Yuan out of the car.

    Su Yuan led Su Ming into the company, while Hu Jia, along with some subordinates, quickly followed behind.

    The company’s first floor was a spacious hall, with rooms located all around. The decoration could only be described as ordinary, just the simplest industrial style, with cheap square tiles on the floor.

    However, the number of employees in the hall was quite large.

    When these employees saw Su Yuan and the others, they all bowed and greeted them.

    “Boss, good morning!”

    “And Young Master!” Hu Jia immediately reminded the employees, fearing they might overlook the Young Master and displease him and the Master.

    “Good morning, Young Master.” The employees present quickly called out.

    Su Ming raised his hand and waved to everyone, politely responding, “Good morning, everyone.”

    Su Yuan pointed to the room on the west side and introduced it to Su Ming, “Son, your dad’s office is on the west side of the first floor. I’ve had someone clear out the room next door for you.”

    Su Ming was a bit surprised after hearing Su Yuan’s words.

    Normally, the boss’s office would be upstairs, but his father’s office was on the first floor. It seemed his father was too lazy to take the elevator or walk.

    However, it was no big deal.

    Just then, he suddenly saw a back door at the end of the hall, with many workers going in and out, so he curiously asked, “Father, I see a back door up ahead, with many people going in and out? Where does that lead?”

    “The back is the sorting area, where the workers do their jobs, it’s terribly dirty! Son, come to my office. Whatever you want to learn, I’ll teach you hand-in-hand. Of course, if you don’t want to learn now, you can also enjoy the air conditioning and play games!” Su Yuan said with a flattering smile.

    “Mm.” Su Ming followed Su Yuan towards the office.

    Soon they entered the office, and Su Ming looked around his father’s office.

    The entire office was over a hundred square meters, with iron cabinets placed along the walls, filled with various documents.

    In the central area, there was a three-meter-long desk with a new computer and some files on it.

    In addition, the office was equipped with a sofa, a refrigerator, a separate bathroom, and even a bed for resting.

    “Son, sit down!” Su Yuan pulled Su Ming to the desk and sat in his boss chair.

    Su Ming sat in the chair and felt quite comfortable.

    Su Yuan then took out a report from the drawer and began to speak voluminously to Su Ming.

    “Son, this is our junkyard’s inventory list. Let me tell you, the most important thing about managing a junkyard is to clearly account for how much valuable inventory we have.”

    Su Ming felt his head ache listening to him, not because he didn’t understand, but because he wasn’t interested.

    However, fortunately, at that moment, a dark-skinned, thin, seemingly shrewd middle-aged man with sparse hair came over fawningly.

    “Boss.”

    “Zheng San, what is it? Can’t you see I’m teaching my son?” Su Yuan replied impatiently.

    Zheng San quickly explained with a fawning smile, “Boss, it’s like this: our clients are complaining that the price of the materials we quoted them is too expensive. They insist on discussing it with you in person. This client is newly developed, we haven’t cooperated with them before, and they specifically came to visit this time.”

    “Where are they?”

    “They’re in the main hall outside.”

    “Alright, I know! Son, you play here for a while, I’ll come over after I finish my business.” Although Su Yuan felt very disappointed, there was nothing he could do; business still had to be done after all.

    “It’s fine, you go.” Su Ming didn’t care at all.

    Su Yuan then left with Zheng San.

    Su Ming sat bored in the office for about twenty minutes.

    Seeing that Su Yuan hadn’t returned yet, he got up and walked out of the office into the hall.

    Su Ming looked around but didn’t see Su Yuan, probably busy negotiating business with clients.

    So he walked towards the back door. The employees he encountered along the way all respectfully greeted Su Ming.

    Although Su Ming had only been at the company for a short time, the news had already spread.

    Soon, Su Ming passed through the back door and arrived at the sorting area behind. Countless piles of waste materials were stacked into small hills; these materials had already undergone several rounds of rough screening.

    At this time, hundreds of workers were manually performing secondary sorting and transportation.

    Because the Old Federation prohibited overly intelligent technology, they could only rely on manual labor. Although efficiency became low, it also provided a means of survival for the people at the bottom. But even so, the people at the bottom still lived very difficult lives.

    Seeing this, Su Ming walked forward to observe these trash piles.

    As he walked, Su Ming stopped in front of a pile of trash. He found that this pile of metal waste looked very much like mech parts. He couldn’t help but think to himself, this junkyard really has everything!
