The air quality had further deteriorated, and many people walking around were wearing masks and similar items.
In addition, Su Ming noticed on some empty spaces, many people holding various plastic containers and queuing up.
At the end of the line was a water truck, decorated with a red rescue symbol.
At that moment, a few children in line for water turned their heads toward the hovering car Su Ming was riding in, their numb eyes revealing a hint of yearning.
“Father, is water scarce in the Lower City District?”
Su Ming asked calmly.
“It’s alright, it rained not long ago during the Rain Festival.”
Su Yuan replied without giving it much thought.
After a moment of silence, Su Ming then said to Su Yuan.
“Father, didn’t you say last time that you could get a Mecha Simulation Training Machine?”
“Of course, no problem, but why do you want that now that the exams are all done?”
“I want it, and if possible, I’d prefer the latest model.”
“Alright, no problem!
Just give your dad some time, and I’ll definitely get it for you.”
Su Yuan replied with a grand promise.
“Thank you, Father.”
The reason Su Ming wanted the cockpit was so that he could train regularly.
Although the City Exam had ended, it didn’t mean everything was perfect.
After all, ability is one’s own, and striving to become stronger is certainly not wrong.
….
Shortly after, the black hovering car arrived at the garbage processing plant.
The structure of the dump was simple, with office buildings on the outside, and then open sorting areas, storage areas, and so on.
The black hovering car quickly stopped at the main entrance of the headquarters building.
The entire main office building was square, with blue glass curtain walls all around, and it wasn’t very tall—just five floors, a little over twenty meters.
At this point, Hu Jia immediately jogged up and courteously opened the car door.
“Master, uh?
Young Master, you’ve come as well.”
Hu Jia was also very surprised to see Su Ming inside the car.
In his memory, Young Master Su Ming had never visited the company.
“Mhm.”
Su Ming nodded slightly in response.
“Son, come with me!
Old Dad will give you a good tour to get familiar with the company.”
Su Yuan said to Su Ming, brimming with enthusiasm.
“Okay.”
Su Ming followed Su Yuan out of the car.
Leading Su Ming inside the company, Su Yuan was followed closely by Hu Jia and some subordinates.
The first floor of the company was a spacious lobby, with rooms located all around, and decorations that could only be considered standard—a very basic industrial fit-out, with the floors laid with cheap square tiles.
However, there was a considerable number of employees within the lobby.
These employees all bowed and greeted them upon seeing Su Yuan and his entourage.
“Boss, good morning!”
“And Young Master!”
Hu Jia quickly reminded the crowd of employees, fearing they would overlook the Young Master and displease both the Young Master and the Boss.
“Good morning, Young Master.”
The employees hurriedly called out.
Su Ming raised his hand and waved to everyone, replying politely.
“Good morning, everyone.”
Su Yuan pointed toward a room on the west side and introduced it to Su Ming.
“Son, my office is on the first floor, west side,” said Su Yuan, “I’ve had the room next door cleared out for you.”
Su Ming was a bit surprised after hearing Su Yuan’s words.
Normally a boss’s office would be upstairs, but his father’s office was actually on the first floor, which seemed to indicate that his father couldn’t be bothered with taking the elevator or walking.
But it was no big deal.
Just then, he suddenly noticed a back door at the end of the hall where many workers were going in and out, so he asked curiously. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
“Father, I see there’s a back door up ahead and a lot of people are coming and going.
Where does that lead to?”
“That leads to the sorting area, where the workers do their jobs.
It’s filthy!
Son, come to my office.
Whatever you want to learn, I’ll teach you, hands-on.
Of course, if you don’t want to learn right now, you can also enjoy the air conditioning, play some games,” Su Yuan said with a smile.
“Mm.”
Su Ming followed Su Yuan toward the office.
Soon they entered the office and Su Ming took a look around his father’s office.
The office was at least a hundred square meters large with iron cabinets placed along the walls, holding various kinds of documents.
In the center area was a three-meter-long desk with a modern computer and some papers.
In addition, the office was also equipped with a sofa, a fridge, a separate bathroom, and even a bed for resting.
“Son, have a seat!”
Su Yuan pulled Su Ming to the desk and sat in his own executive chair.
Su Ming felt quite comfortable sitting in the chair.
Su Yuan then took out a report from a drawer and began to talk incessantly to Su Ming.
“Son, this is the inventory list of our waste management facility.
Let me tell you, the most important thing about managing a waste facility is to keep a clear inventory of our valuable stock…”
Su Ming found it overwhelming, not because he couldn’t understand, but because he wasn’t interested.
Just then, a dark-skinned, thin, shrewd-looking middle-aged man with sparse hair walked over obsequiously.
“Boss.”
“Zheng San, what is it?
Don’t you see I’m teaching my son?” Su Yuan replied, impatiently.
Zheng San hurriedly explained with a smile on his face.
“Boss, it’s like this: the material prices we quoted to the client, they find too expensive.
They insist on discussing it with you in person.
This is a new client we haven’t worked with before; they came specifically for a visit.”
“Where are they?”
“In the main hall outside.”
“Alright, I got it!
Son, you play here for a while, I’ll come back after finishing the negotiations.”
Although Su Yuan was feeling downcast, there was no choice; business was still business.
“It’s okay, go ahead.”
Su Ming didn’t mind at all.
Su Yuan then left with Zheng San.
Su Ming, bored out of his mind, sat in the office for about twenty minutes.
Seeing that Su Yuan hadn’t returned, he got up and walked out of the office to the main hall.
Su Ming looked around but didn’t see Su Yuan, presumably busy negotiating with clients.
So, he walked towards the back door.
Along the way, every worker he encountered greeted him with great respect.
Although Su Ming had only been at the company for a short while, the news had already spread.
Quickly Su Ming passed through the back door into the sorting area behind and saw countless waste materials piled up into small hills, all of which had gone through several rounds of rough screening.
At that moment, hundreds of workers were engaged in manual secondary screening and moving materials.
Due to the old Federation’s prohibition on overly intelligent technology, they could only rely on manual labor.
Although efficiency was reduced, it provided a way out for the lower classes.
Still, life was extremely tough for those at the bottom.
Seeing this, Su Ming walked forward to take a closer look at these piles of garbage.
As he walked, Su Ming stopped in front of a pile of metal waste.
It looked very much like Mecha parts, and he thought to himself, this waste management facility really has everything!
