The manager thought about it for a moment before he said, “It will be completed in about a month at the earliest.”

The manager could not help but feel curious. Under normal circumstances, no one would buy so many cans of canned food. He wondered if Su Can had a way to make money with this large amount of canned food. In the end, he could not help but ask, “Sir, why are you buying so many cans of canned food? I don’t think people usually eat canned food…”

“It’s nothing. I’m only buying them to keep them for rainy days,” Su Can replied nonchalantly. He had already thought of how to answer this question a while ago.

“I see. Okay, I understand. I’ll make preparations tomorrow. As soon as you pay the deposit, I’ll start work immediately.”

“Alright,” Su Can replied. After he ended the call, he decisively transferred the money to the manager.

With that, he sighed in relief.

…

Over the next ten days, Su Can stayed at home and dealt with the transportation of all kinds of supplies before it was finally done.

He looked at the photos of the supplies in the warehouse and sighed in relief.

Now that this matter was solved, it was time for him to purchase fuel and such. However, he was not in a hurry. The purchaser he had hired had told him enthusiastically that more things would be delivered to him soon.

‘I should visit the construction site…’ Su Can thought to himself as he scratched his head.

He had been busy dealing with the supplies so he had yet to visit the construction site to check on the workers. Thinking that he could urge them if he found their progress a little slow, he quickly changed and left the house.

However, just as he opened his door, he saw a beautiful figure standing in front of him.

“Huh?”

Su Can looked at Li Jiayue, who was standing in front of him, in confusion.

“Li Jiayue? Why are you here? Do you want to come in?” Su Can asked as he opened the door wider and gestured for her to come in.

Li Jiayue hurriedly waved her hand and said, “No, no!”

Upon hearing this, Su Can paused for a moment before he asked, “You don’t look very happy. Is it because I’ve been neglecting you recently?”

Su Can felt a little apologetic at this moment. He had indeed been very focused on handling his own matters recently and had neglected Li Jiayue.

Li Jiayue waved her hand again and hastily said, “No, no, it’s not like that. I won’t be unhappy over such a small matter. Seriously, what are you thinking?”

“Then why are you here?” Su Can asked in confusion.

Li Jiayue looked at Su Can with a hint of concern in her eyes and said, “I’m just worried about you. After all, you’ve not been out at all recently.Every time I texted you, I could feel that you were tired as well…”

Li Jiayue felt even more distressed when she saw how exhausted Su Can was. She added, “If you can’t handle it on your own, you should’ve asked for my help. After all, you agreed to let me help you. It’s fine if you ask for my help.”

“Li Jiayue…” Su Can was instantly moved by Li Jiayue’s words. After a moment, he extended his hand to Li Jiayue and asked, “I’m going to visit the construction site to check on the progress. Do you want to come with me?”

Li Jiayue nodded and reached out to hold Su Can’s hand as she said, “Of course.”

The two of them smiled at each other before they left for the abandoned psychiatric hospital.

…

Not long after they arrived, Su Can saw various construction equipment parked at the entrance of the psychiatric hospital.

“How strange…” Su Can muttered to himself as he looked around in confusion.

It seemed like there was not much progress at all. Although the exterior walls had been painted, most things looked the same as when they first saw this place.

‘Did they slack off when I wasn’t around?’

Su Can became furious as soon as he thought about this. He had spent so much money so he could complete the renovation as soon as possible. If the workers really slacked off, he would have to have a word with them.

Su Can looked at a few people wearing hard hats before he asked, slightly angry, “Where’s the supervisor?”

“Supervisor?”

“I am the supervisor.”

At this time, a man wearing a blue hard hat turned around and sized Su Can up. Then, he smiled and asked, “You must be Mr. Su, right?”

Su Can nodded. “Yes. I came to check on the progress. It’s been more than ten days, but I don’t think there’s much progress at all.”

The man replied as he pointed at the building, “The progress outside is indeed a little slow. However, that’s because we focused on the interior. We’ve already installed the best heating material for you, and we’ve also found someone to reinforce the walls inside. Although the material the building was constructed from was good, we had to reinforce it just in case. We’ve taken certain measures to make sure everything is safe.”

Upon hearing this, Su Can nodded in satisfaction. “I see. Can I go in to have a look?”

“Of course, you can do whatever you want,” the man replied. He hesitated briefly before he added, “You didn’t come to inspect the construction site at all before this. We didn’t even receive a single text from you. Most of the workers here thought that you’d run away.”

Su Can laughed dryly. “Running away? Impossible? How about this? I’ll pay another small deposit. However, you have to speed up the progress. It’s not just the interior, but the exterior as well.”

The man nodded. “Alright. If you see what we’ve done so far, you’ll see our efforts!”

The two men laughed and chatted as they walked in. However, just as they walked past the entrance, they heard a huge commotion outside.

“What do you mean by it’s my fault? You hit me with your car! How can you say that it’s my fault?!”

The supervisor looked at the crowd gathered at the side with a displeased expression on his face and cursed, “F*ck, what are they doing over there?”

At the same time, the supervisor thought to himself, ‘If they’re not working hard to earn money, what are they doing here?’
