"Phew~ Finally home!"

Fang Jinjin pushed past her brother, who was blocking her way. Looking at the familiar, large villa, she couldn’t help but sigh in contentment.

Everyone walked into the villa. Their parents weren’t there; they were surely busy at the company at this hour.

Qi Xiaotian didn’t follow them inside. Instead, he returned to his ’command center’ to check on the situation.

On the sofa, Bai Menghan glanced at the time.

"It’s still early. I’m going to head back to school."

’Her graduation exams were supposed to be two days ago, but she had gone to sea to search for Fang Chenyi instead. Now that the matter is settled, I should hurry back to school and sort out my graduation.’

Hearing this, Fang Chenyi immediately stood up and said,

"Alright, I’ll take you."

But Bai Menghan just smiled and waved her hand dismissively.

"You should hurry and take care of your own business. While you were gone, Professor Wu tried to contact you many times, and he even called me several times after that. Don’t worry about me. I can get there on my own."

Fang Jinjin, who was standing to the side, suddenly chimed in, "Sister-in-law, why don’t I go with you?"

Bai Menghan heard this and immediately nodded in agreement.

And so, after returning to her room to change into a fresh set of clothes, Bai Menghan grabbed some documents and left with Fang Jinjin.

Left alone, Fang Chenyi sighed helplessly. "Ah, so I still have so many things to take care of~"

’I was just thinking about how free I was, with nothing to do. But Menghan’s reminder made me realize I actually have a lot on my plate.’

’The business park is still waiting for the design blueprints. I haven’t gone to take possession of the Diamond Mine I just acquired. And I still have to brainwash the key people in charge of my various companies...’

’And that’s not even counting the long-term stuff. Right now, my phone is at the bottom of the ocean. The first thing I need to do is get a replacement SIM card~’

He shook his head helplessly. Without further hesitation, he grabbed the keys to his Elemental RP1, which he hadn’t driven in over a month, and walked out the villa’s main gate.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Qi Xiaotian preparing to follow him.

Fang Chenyi gave a wry smile and waved his hand. "It’s fine, Xiaotian. You’ve worked hard for so long. Go get some rest. We’re back in the country now. Huaxia isn’t like other places; it’s very safe."

Qi Xiaotian thought about it and realized it was true. Having just returned from abroad, he’d forgotten how safe it was here.

He smiled and nodded. "Alright, Brother Fang. Drive safely."

Fang Chenyi smiled and got into the sports car. He then remembered something and stuck his head back out the window.

"Oh, right, Xiaotian. When you have a moment, go order a batch of vehicles. We’ll be heading over to the business park in a while, and we’ll definitely have a lot of people. Besides, the place is huge, so daily patrols will be an issue."

After speaking, Fang Chenyi pulled his head back into the car, reached into the center console, pulled out a bank card, and handed it to Qi Xiaotian outside.

"Here. The PIN is the last six digits of the card number. Buy whatever you think is best."

Qi Xiaotian nodded, took the bank card, and then asked,

"Got it, Brother Fang. I’ll get in touch with them right away. Do you have any requirements for the model of the vehicle?"

Fang Chenyi thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"No special requirements, as long as they’re all uniform. Also, they have to be rugged SUVs. As for the specific model, you can choose. Oh, right. Don’t consider anything too cheap. That would lower our standards."

Hearing this, Qi Xiaotian was momentarily speechless. ’And he calls that ’no special requirements’?’

Of course, he would never say that out loud. After listening, Qi Xiaotian just nodded and said he understood.

With another nod, Fang Chenyi stepped on the gas. The Elemental RP1 immediately let out a roar and shot out of the villa complex.

He arrived at a mobile service provider’s store and walked in. A salesclerk was busy with other customers. When she saw Fang Chenyi in his camouflage fatigues, she just gave him a polite smile and a nod, said, "Welcome," and went back to helping the others.

Clearly, his camouflage, the kind often worn by manual laborers, failed to impress her.

But the Fang Chenyi of today was no longer the greenhorn he used to be. He had changed a lot over time, and at the very least, he was completely unfazed by this kind of treatment.

He walked up to the counter on his own, handed his ID to the clerk handling service requests, and explained that he needed a replacement card.

The clerk took Fang Chenyi’s ID without even looking up and started typing away at her computer.

It was boring waiting for the new card, and remembering he didn’t have a phone, he turned to a nearby display case and started looking at the models.

At that moment, the saleswoman was pitching the latest Huawei phone to a customer. From the man’s hesitant expression, it was likely because the price was a bit too high.

Fang Chenyi didn’t say anything, just stood by and listened to her explanation.

The saleswoman naturally noticed Fang Chenyi as well, but she didn’t think he could afford a phone that cost over seven thousand yuan. So, she ignored him and let him listen in.

"Sir, this phone might be a little bit pricey, but there’s no denying it’s worth the cost. Take its 5G, for example—it’s absolutely top-of-the-line in the country. And look at the camera’s resolution. Isn’t it sharp? With this phone, you could even save the money you’d spend on a DSLR."

Listening to the saleswoman’s enthusiastic, non-stop pitch, the corners of Fang Chenyi’s mouth lifted into a smile. ’Even though I only just acquired shares in Huawei, there’s no denying that Huawei is basically mine now.’

’How could I not be pleased hearing someone praise my own company’s phone like that, even if I know it’s just a sales tactic?’

"Heh, from the way you describe it, this phone really is something. Alright, I’ll take one."

Seeing the man was still hesitating, the saleswoman figured she probably wouldn’t make the sale. Just as she was about to suggest another model, the young man who had been listening quietly off to the side suddenly spoke up.

This made both the saleswoman and the other man freeze, their eyes all turning to Fang Chenyi.

Seeing their reactions, Fang Chenyi just smiled and repeated himself.

"Heh, I’ll take one."

The moment the saleswoman heard him, her face lit up with a smile. She happily agreed and bent down to pull a brand-new, unopened phone from under the counter.

The man standing next to him saw this young guy dressed like a manual laborer just casually say he’d buy it. Seeing the saleswoman’s fawning smile, in particular, made him feel like he’d completely lost face.

So, he grit his teeth and coughed loudly. "AHEM! Uh, get me one too! And besides, I think I was here first, kid. First come, first served!"
