Chapter 396: Chapter 396 - 369: Well, This Is Awkward
The thought of taking the blueprints out of the woven bag in a bit led him to the garbage processing center. ’It’s been a month, so it should be up and running by now!’
’That’s the biggest garbage processing center in all of Qinhuang Island! Just think of how much junk will be in there!’
’Bwahaha, I’ll never have to worry about scrounging for junk again!’
Fang Chenyi grew more and more excited, his excitement mounting until he no longer noticed the jarring ride of the large truck beneath him.
However, when he said this, Wei Yilong, who was driving, froze for a moment before slapping himself hard on the forehead.
"Ah, damn it! I’ve been so busy over here lately that I completely forgot about that place!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the previously excited Fang Chenyi froze. ’This guy actually forgot? Does that mean it’s not even operational yet?’
At this thought, Fang Chenyi immediately smacked the other man on the head and grumbled irritably:
"Damn you! We can’t let things over there get delayed. Don’t tell me you’ve even stopped construction?"
Fang Chenyi obviously didn’t use his full strength, so Wei Yilong only felt a sharp sting on his head.
Grimacing, Wei Yilong kept one hand on the steering wheel while rubbing the spot Fang Chenyi had hit, an awkward, sheepish grin on his face.
"No, no! Even though I haven’t been overseeing it personally, I’ve already delegated it to my subordinates. And come to think of it, it’s been over a month. The latest batch of equipment we ordered should have arrived by now."
It wasn’t that work had stopped; things were still moving forward over there. It was just that things on this side had been so overwhelmingly busy lately that Wei Yilong hadn’t had a chance to visit.
Fang Chenyi knew they were run off their feet with the work here, so he didn’t scold the guy too much. He just said he would go check on it himself in a little while.
He wanted to see the current situation for himself and check on the person in charge. If he wasn’t trustworthy, Fang Chenyi could always use his Celestial Gods to do a little brainwashing.
Wei Yilong asked if he should call ahead, but Fang Chenyi just waved his hand and said he wanted to see it for himself.
Wei Yilong nodded as he drove. The dump truck bumped along the road and finally pulled up in front of Fang Chenyi’s sports car. After telling Wei Yilong to wait in the truck for a moment, Fang Chenyi jumped out.
He opened his car door, got in, and then pulled the large box of organized blueprints out of the woven bag, placing it on the passenger seat of the dump truck.
Finally, he didn’t forget to remind Wei Yilong that these had to be put in a safe.
After briefly explaining some key points about the blueprints, he turned and got back into his sports car.
He turned the car around and drove toward the nearby garbage processing center.
The garbage processing center wasn’t far, and he reached the facility’s entrance in just over ten minutes.
Seeing garbage trucks coming and going from the entrance, Fang Chenyi couldn’t help but stare in surprise. ’It’s already operational?’
A wave of excitement washed over him. He stepped on the gas, turned the wheel, and drove toward the facility’s main gate.
Just as his car reached the gate, two security guards in camouflage uniforms snapped to attention.
Even though the security guards were new, they recognized the Sesto Elemento as the boss’s car at first glance.
The reason was simple: there was a photo of this very car posted on the wall of the guardhouse.
This detail alone showed just how meticulous Wei Yilong’s deputy, the current manager, was.
He gave a light tap on the horn for the guards and, under their respectful gazes, slowly drove into the facility.
Just as he parked in front of the office building, a young man in a crisp suit with average looks strode over to greet him.
"Chairman Fang, I didn’t know you were coming. It was a dereliction of my duty not to greet you at the gate."
Opening his car door, Fang Chenyi looked at the young man, who wasn’t much older than himself, and waved his hand with a smile.
"Haha, you must be Xiaoliu. No need for such formalities. How’s everything going? Is the work here going smoothly?"
Although this was the first time Fang Chenyi had met him, he had heard about him from Wei Yilong. The young man’s name was Liu Xia, a former classmate of Wei Yilong’s. He was very smart and clever, but the main reason Wei Yilong had brought him on as a deputy was because he was exceptionally down-to-earth.
As he spoke, Fang Chenyi led the way toward the office building. Liu Xia followed close behind, also striding purposefully, and began to brief Fang Chenyi on the current situation with a smile as they walked.
Fang Chenyi was very satisfied with their conversation on the way. At the very least, he liked the man’s neither servile nor overbearing attitude. From his words and mannerisms, Fang Chenyi could also tell that he was very competent.
Of course, that wasn’t to say he was flawless. Liu Xia’s only weakness was that he was a bit too cautious.
When they reached the office door, Liu Xia stepped forward to push it open, then smiled and made an inviting gesture for Fang Chenyi to enter.
Fang Chenyi just smiled without a word and strode inside.
The moment he stepped inside, however, Fang Chenyi froze. The reason was simple: the office was not only enormous, but also luxuriously decorated.
This made him frown. Its size and luxury could rival the general manager’s office at Southern Airlines.
He scanned the room before walking over to the sofa and sitting down.
"Haha, Xiaoliu, you’ve certainly decorated this place with flair."
Hearing this, Liu Xia, who was walking toward him, froze. ’Judging by the chairman’s tone, he seems a little dissatisfied. What does he mean by "with flair"?’
’But I don’t think I did anything wrong, did I?’
He walked over quickly, looking at Fang Chenyi on the sofa with some trepidation as he spoke:
"Chairman, are you dissatisfied with the decorations? I can arrange for a designer to come and redecorate it for you right away."
’Redecorate it for me?’
Fang Chenyi was also taken aback. He looked at Liu Xia and asked:
"This office was prepared for me?"
Liu Xia blinked, nodding in confusion.
"Yes, President Wei had it specially built for you during construction. Oh, perhaps you were too busy to come by before."
Hearing this, Fang Chenyi felt a wave of embarrassment. ’Damn, so this was for me. I thought it was yours.’
