"My plan is to do it at the graduation party tonight. I’ve already prepared a few things. I’ll tell you what they are, and then you guys can brainstorm how to pull off this proposal based on what I’ve got. The key is, I want a proposal that’s one-of-a-kind, something the world has never seen."

At this, Fang Chenyi paused for a moment before continuing, "I’ve already prepared rose petals, hot air balloons, a pair of diamond rings for us, and fireworks. Oh, right, I also wrote a song myself—the kind that’s perfect for a proposal."

After he finished, no one in the room seemed particularly impressed. Principal Wang, especially, sounded dismissive when he spoke up:

"Tch. Boss, the stuff you’ve prepared isn’t even as good as my idea of ninety-nine supercars. Or ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine roses—enough to completely cover the stage at sister-in-law’s university. Now that’s romantic, isn’t it? Way better than just some petals! Boss, you can’t just have people endlessly scattering petals from behind, can you?"

Hearing this, Fang Chenyi thought for a moment. ’Principal Wang has a point,’ he mused. ’What I’ve listed does seem rather ordinary, perhaps not enough to shock the world.’

Just as Fang Chenyi was frowning in thought, he heard Principal Wang ask casually:

"Oh, right, Boss, how many rose petals did you get? If you have a lot, we could have people climb to the top of the auditorium and continuously scatter them down. But that would take a *lot* of petals."

Fang Chenyi was preoccupied, trying to figure out what else was needed for a super proposal, so when he heard Principal Wang’s question, he answered without much thought:

"One hundred tons. They’ve already arrived in the city and should be delivered in about ten or twenty minutes. Hey, Old Wang, what do you think we need to pull off a proposal that will shock the world?"

He’d asked casually, but when a long moment passed without a response from Principal Wang, Fang Chenyi paused, confused, and asked again:

"Old Wang? What’s with that expression? I’m asking you, what do we need for a world-shocking proposal?"

GULP.

Two distinct swallowing sounds echoed in the silence after Fang Chenyi finished speaking. One was from Principal Wang, the other from Wei Yilong.

The two exchanged a look, then simultaneously gave Fang Chenyi a thumbs-up.

"O-One hundred tons of rose petals... Boss, you’re a freaking legend!"

Principal Wang and Wei Yilong were completely floored by Fang Chenyi. Seriously, one hundred tons of rose petals? What did that even mean? You’d probably need several dump trucks to haul all that!

And how many roses would that even be?! Had he plucked every single rose in all of Huaxia into petals?!

’What do you need for a world-shocking proposal? You don’t need anything else! Just the hundred tons of rose petals alone would be enough to blow up the internet and become a top trending topic worldwide.’

However, that wasn’t all. Fang Chenyi suddenly spoke again.

"What’s wrong? It’s just a hundred tons of petals. Can you guys not be so basic? Oh, right, the hot air balloons should be arriving soon, too. I got seven of them in total. Do you think that’s enough? And the fireworks... there’s only one set, but it’s one of those super-massive ones. When it goes up, it should cover half of Qinhuang Island. As for the diamond rings, they’re a pair of pink diamonds, nearly two hundred carats each. That should be acceptable, right?"

Fang Chenyi was genuinely confused now. After what Principal Wang had said earlier, he was starting to have second thoughts, wondering if what he’d prepared was truly enough.

But as his words sank in, Principal Wang and Wei Yilong were completely petrified. Good lord, did he have to be so savage?! Did he have to crush their spirits like that?!

Especially the nearly two-hundred-carat pink diamonds! For him to ask if they were "acceptable" was just absurd. What kind of bullshit was that?! Those were probably the most expensive diamond rings in the world! If *that* wasn’t acceptable, then he might as well just inlay a ring around the entire planet and wear that on his hand.

For the next while, Principal Wang and Wei Yilong were completely won over by the sheer scale of it all. They didn’t mention the ninety-nine supercars again.

"Boss, what do you think of this? A hundred tons of petals is an insane amount, so how about we..."

The group discussed in the study for nearly a full hour, only emerging as noon approached.

After they came out, everyone sprang into action. Wei Yilong drove straight for Yan University, and Principal Wang also disappeared to parts unknown.

Just an hour later, the directing team for Yan University’s graduation party issued a new directive: the event was moved from the indoor stadium, which held two thousand people, to the university’s large athletic field. Furthermore, construction crews were urgently brought in and began erecting a massive stage and temporary seating.

Even the sound system for the party was replaced with a super-professional setup worth thirty million for a pair!

The series of extravagant moves was more over-the-top than a concert for a megastar.

The university’s students were confused, but no matter how they tried to inquire, all they were told was that the school was putting on the grandest graduation ceremony ever.

It wasn’t just them; even Qi Xiaotian got moving, along with Liu Yishou, Mu Tou, Shi Tou, and the others.

A little over an hour later, a group of thirty to fifty people hurried into the villa complex.

These were none other than the crew members from the former *Ocean Harmony*, now the *Chen Meng*. They were all from the Qinhuang Island area and had rushed back immediately after receiving Liu Yishou’s order.

Upon their return, they loaded some things into vehicles, left the villa complex, and headed for a designated location.

And so, time ticked by. Finally, at around 4:30 in the afternoon, Fang Chenyi received reports from everyone.

Seeing message after message reading "Ready," a relaxed smile touched Fang Chenyi’s lips.

’It’s finally ready. Xiao Hanhan, just you wait for the surprise I have for you.’

At 5:15 in the afternoon, Father Bai was also driven back to the villa complex by a crew member. However, Fang Chenyi wasn’t there at the moment. He was in a large, spacious courtyard not far from Yan University.

The courtyard was huge, spanning several acres. In truth, it wasn’t so much a courtyard as it was a construction site.

It was actually a plot of land that had been fenced off for a future residential development. Construction hadn’t officially started yet; the ground had merely been leveled and enclosed by a tall barrier.

Now, Qi Xiaotian and his team had temporarily rented the space. Inside the enclosure, seven fully prepped hot air balloons were undergoing inspection.
