Bai Menghan hadn’t expected things to turn out like this either.
She looked apologetically at Fang Chenyi, who was holding her hand.
"I’m sorry, Chenyi."
Hearing this, Fang Chenyi turned back and gently ruffled Bai Menghan’s hair. "Sorry for what? I’m not mad. All right, let’s go. We can go back and catch up on some sleep. We still have to pick up Professor Wu this afternoon."
Just as Fang Chenyi said, he wasn’t mad.
After all, the Fang Chenyi of today was no longer the clueless kid he was a few months ago. His rapid rise had gradually helped him mature from a hapless nobody.
The two of them left the school and went straight back to the villa. Perhaps because she was so exhausted from last night, Bai Menghan went directly to her bedroom to catch up on sleep as soon as they got back.
Fang Chenyi, however, tucked his leather briefcase under his arm and walked out of the villa.
He had originally planned to go out and find a trash can to do some scavenging, but just as he stepped outside, he saw Liu Yishou in front of Villa No. 6, not far away, washing the Knight XV.
He hopped on the small electric scooter parked by the door and rode directly over to Liu Yishou. Seeing Fang Chenyi approach, Liu Yishou quickly stood at attention.
"Brother Fang."
Fang Chenyi smiled and waved his hand dismissively.
"You’re certainly diligent. How’s leading the team going? Are there any difficulties? If there are, just say so."
Qi Xiaotian was still at the Southern Airlines headquarters with his father-in-law, so the work here could only be handed over to Liu Yishou. After all, he was the only one who came from the same place as Qi Xiaotian.
As for his mother-in-law’s driver, the role was currently filled by the quiet Gold.
Hearing Fang Chenyi’s words, Liu Yishou grinned.
"Heh heh, our team is all made up of former reconnaissance soldiers, and we were all selected from a ’sharp knife’ unit. Everyone is highly disciplined, so leading the team is very easy. We eat well and sleep well here, so how could there be any difficulties?"
Fang Chenyi nodded. ’It’s good that there are no difficulties.’
Fang Chenyi thought about the business park, where construction was set to begin in three days. He had said before that this huge industrial park would need a good security team in the future.
Never mind the manpower needed for the huge industrial park; the vast mountain he planned to build on would require a lot on its own.
The security needs for that place alone couldn’t be met by this small team of ten.
He mentally calculated it. ’Just for my mountain, I’ll need a security team of at least thirty people.’
Thinking of this, Fang Chenyi said to Liu Yishou, fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
"By the way, Yishou, I’ve purchased a small mountain. I plan to fence it off later, and we’ll all move there. The security requirements will be significant. Come with me for a look around this afternoon. Check out the situation, and then you can provide some security recommendations during the design phase."
Fang Chenyi knew that when it came to security, he was no match for Liu Yishou and Qi Xiaotian. In fact, he figured that even Professor Wu, whom he was meeting this afternoon, wouldn’t have insights comparable to Liu Yishou’s. ’It’s a perfect opportunity to have him participate in the security planning.’
As soon as Fang Chenyi finished speaking, Liu Yishou snapped to attention and said, "Yes, sir."
He checked the time. It was already 10:30 AM. Professor Wu’s flight was scheduled to land at 12:15 PM. It would take him more than half an hour to get there from here. After thinking it over, Fang Chenyi decided not to go out scavenging after all.
But just as he was turning his electric scooter around, his gaze swept over the helicopter on the lawn.
Seeing this, Fang Chenyi’s eyes lit up, and he thought to himself,
’Crap, how could I forget about this big guy? Why the hell would I drive a car? Isn’t taking the helicopter way cooler?’
’If I fly the helicopter over, I can also take Professor Wu to survey the topography of the business park from the air. That would help with drawing up the blueprints, wouldn’t it?’
The helicopter ride would take ten minutes at most. It was 10:30 AM now, so there was still an hour and a half until noon. ’To reach the pinnacle of life sooner, I should make every second count.’
With that thought, he did a sharp turn on his electric scooter and, in the next moment, sped off toward the villa’s main gate at a ’high speed’ of forty kilometers per hour.
Destination: the garbage transfer station about a mile away!
The electric scooter zipped along, and five minutes later, it came to a neat stop outside the garbage transfer station he had visited twice before.
He scanned the area and, seeing no one was paying attention, hiked up his limited-edition Louis Vuitton suit pants. Then, with a running start, he quickly grabbed the fence and vaulted over it into the garbage transfer station.
After landing, he lightly dusted off his hands, a smile playing on his lips. He reached into his pocket, pulled out an N95 mask, and put it on before casually strolling into the transfer station.
Protected by the N95 mask, Fang Chenyi no longer noticed the foul smell inside.
He unzipped his briefcase, then took out a woven plastic sack, shook it open, and pulled out his trash grabber.
His eyes fixed on the large pile of assorted junk in the middle, Fang Chenyi, dressed in his limited-edition Louis Vuitton casual suit, got to work.
[Host has collected one old laptop battery. System reward: 900 yuan. The reward has been deposited into the host’s bank account. Please check your balance.]
[Host has collected one old electric fan. System reward: 1,200 yuan. The reward has been deposited into the host’s bank account. Please check your balance.]
[Host has collected one old keyboard. System reward: 600 yuan. The reward has been deposited into the host’s bank account. Please check your balance.]
He had no idea who was so rich as to throw all this out. In just a short while, Fang Chenyi had collected a full set of laptop accessories.
Listening to the continuous stream of deposit notifications in his mind, Fang Chenyi kept waiting, hoping the next alert would be a special reward.
His persistence paid off. After about half an hour of scavenging, just as he was numbly tossing a book into his woven sack, a different kind of notification chimed in his mind.
[Host has collected one old book, ’A Catalog of World-Famous Watches.’ Special system reward triggered: Rewarding all watch models from the book. The rewards have been placed in the woven sack. Please retrieve them at your convenience.]
’Holy crap! A Catalog of World-Famous Watches? A special reward of *all* the watches?! This is awesome!’
This reward gave Fang Chenyi a pleasant surprise. After all, every man dreams of owning a famous watch, and having a fine timepiece is a source of great happiness. He just wondered how many watches were actually listed in this catalog, hoping there would be many.
Although he was thrilled, Fang Chenyi didn’t rush to open the sack and check. After all, now wasn’t the time. There was still a mountain-like pile of junk in front of him, waiting to be scavenged. ’Better hurry and pick up some more trash.’
