Chapter 17: Matchmaking

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chen Ming was shocked by the system’s sudden upgrade and the awesomeness of the rewards.

Other things aside, just the constitution-enhancing potion alone was stuff you could only find in fantasy TV series or novels.

He had never expected to be able to come across one himself, much less use one.

“System, I want to use the constitution-enhancing potion.” Chen Ming said impatiently.

He was looking forward to the effects of the potion.

In less than half a minute, the system’s voice rang out.

[Constitution-enhancing potion has been used. Congratulations! Your strength, speed, muscles, vision, and memory have been enhanced.]

As soon as the system finished speaking, Chen Ming felt his body burning up as if he had a fever.

This condition lasted for about three to four minutes before the symptoms disappeared. When he opened his eyes again, Chen Ming felt much more comfortable, as if he had been purified.

This was too magical!

He could not suppress the smile or his excitement.

After calming down, Chen Ming took a few simple glances around the small villa. He was prepared to go home after signing the contract.

Just as Chen Ming was about to leave the villa in satisfaction, he noticed something shiny in his peripheral vision.

Under the sunlight, these golden objects shone brilliantly.

This piqued Chen Ming’s interest.

He walked to the corner of the room quickly.

When he got closer, he realized that the glittering items were the remaining gold foil used during the construction.

Chen Ming could not help but let his imagination run wild.

If the waste construction materials could be processed into high-quality rosewood furniture, could the gold foil be processed into gold?

At the thought of this, Chen Ming quickly and carefully picked up the gold foils. Although the gold foils had a packaging on the outside, Chen Ming still wrapped it up carefully.

There were enough surprises for today. Therefore, Chen Ming was prepared to wait until tomorrow to process these gold foils.

With the gold foils in hand, he left the villa with a happy face and looked for the agent to sign the contract.

When he sent Chen Ming off, the agent was even more confused.

How satisfied was Chen Ming with their villa to have kept smiling the entire time?

The agent decided to report this to the higher-ups so that he could receive praise or a bonus for his professional ability.

However, Chen Ming had no idea what the agent was thinking about.

He drove home and found that Chen Zhao was also home.

“Where did you go?” Chen Zhao was watching the news on the sofa. He did not even look up when he asked that question.

Hearing this, Chen Ming cleared his throat and said, “I bought a small villa.”

“Ah, I see.”

Chen Zhao nodded nonchalantly and continued to watch the news.

However, in less than half a minute, Chen Ming heard the sound of the remote control falling to the floor.

Chen Zhao, who had just come back to his senses, turned his head in shock and said with a trembling voice, “You bought a new house?”

To the previous Chen family members, buying a house was an extremely important matter. It took the whole family several months of research before they finally pulled the trigger on a house.

Hearing this unexpected news, Chen Zhao could barely suppress his excitement. However, thinking about it again, now that Chen Ming was successful and all over the news, buying a house was not really a big deal, right?

After silently digesting this information, Chen Zhao asked again, “How many square meters? Where is the house located? I’ve been working hard my whole life, but have been surpassed by my son. When you move to a new house, I’ll definitely take a picture and send it to my friends.”

“Not counting the yard, it’s about 500 square meters. It’s a small detached villa,” Chen Ming said indifferently before Chen Zhao could finish his sentence.

Small… small villa?

Chen Zhao, who had never thought of living in a villa in his life, was completely dumbfounded.

“Uncle, with Chen Ming’s current abilities, he’s already keeping a low profile by not living in a big villa.”

While Chen Zhao was still in a daze, Qin Qing handed him a peeled Apple and joked.

She knew how much revenue the energy polymer blocks and the optimized batteries brought in, so she knew that Chen Ming could afford to buy a villa easily. Thus,she was not surprised at all.

Chen Zhao took the apple in a daze and took an instinctive bite.

It was sweet.

After a long while, he laughed ,”Hahaha! You’re my eldest soon after all!”

The corners of Chen Ming’s mouth twitched at his father’s reaction.

It took him long enough.

In the dead of the night, the noisy city also quieted down.

Chen Ming knocked on Qin Qing’s door before he went to bed.

“Qin Qing, are you asleep?” he asked.

Qin Qing was using the small red bottle whitening cream that Chen Ming had given her in the bedroom. When she heard him knock, she quickly put down her stuff and went to open the door for Chen Ming.

“I’m doing my skincare routine. I’ll be sleeping after that.”

Qin Qing crossed her arms and leaned against the door frame.

“Do you have something important to discuss? ”

At this moment, Qin Qing looked very charming, so Chen Ming’s brain froze for a moment. After a long period of silence, he finally found his voice again.

“Qin Qing, thank you for your help,” he said sincerely, “Without you, my business wouldn’t have been so successful.”

Chen Ming’s sudden seriousness made Qin Qing’s smile fade.

Seeing that Chen Ming was here to thank her, Qin Qing’s delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

“Brother Chen Ming, you’re being too polite.”

I’m still living in your house and troubling you. Isn’t it natural for me to do something like this if it’s within my ability?”

“If you thank me again, I’m not going to talk to you anymore,” Qin Qing pouted and joked.

Chen Ming, who was a dense man, mistook Qin Qing for being serious. He quickly waved his hand and was about to speak when Qin Qing stopped him.

Qin Qing naturally knew Chen Ming very well. As soon as he raised his hand, she knew that Chen Ming had misunderstood.

After a while, Qin Qing covered Chen Ming’s mouth with her hand and said with a smile, “Don’t take it seriously. I was just teasing you.”

After saying that, she went back into the room and closed the door.

However, her ears were already burning red.

When the door was closed, Qin Qing’s faint floral scent lingered on Chen Ming’s face.

‘This is playing dirty!’ Chen Ming thought.

“Pfft, hahaha!”

While he was in a daze, a familiar laugh pulled Chen Ming back from his thoughts.

He turned around and saw that it was Zhen Chao.

Just as Chen Ming was about to open his mouth, Chen Zhao stopped smiling and said seriously, “I think that this young lady is not bad!”

“Son, what’s your relationship with her now? When are you going to marry her? If she’s my daughter-in-law, you have my full support!”

It was said that the more a father looked at his daughter-in-law, the more pleasing she was to the eye. Chen Zhao was no exception to this.

He could clearly see how serious and responsible Qin Qing was in her work, as well as how well she treated Chen Ming.

It could be said that Qin Qing played a part in Chen Ming’s business’ rapid development. She was also a key pillar of support.

Chen Chao felt that Qin Qing and Chen Ming were a good match!

Chen Ming did not know whether to laugh or cry when he saw Chen Zhao trying to matchmake Qin Qing with him.

His father was really…

If he were to be a matchmaker, he would definitely be outstanding!

In the end, Chen Ming changed the topic with a smile, hiding his inner feelings.
