Chapter 259: Chapter 258: Planning the Companies

Confused, Fang Chenyi and Qi Xiaotian quickly squeezed their way toward the front.

Fortunately, both of them were in exceptional physical shape. It didn’t take much effort for them to shove a group of people aside and burst into the middle of the crowd.

When they reached the front of the crowd, they saw that the four surrounded booths were indeed for Xuanji Technology.

To his bemusement, however, their target didn’t seem to be Xuanji Technology itself. Instead, all eyes were on the female models who were smiling and striking poses for the crowd from behind a line of security guards.

Seeing this, Fang Chenyi and Qi Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn’t anything malicious, it was fine.

At the same time, however, Fang Chenyi was extremely curious. Nearly every booth had models, so why were Xuanji Technology’s so popular? ’Are they celebrities?’

Curious, Fang Chenyi glanced at the four women’s faces. The moment he saw them, his brow furrowed slightly. They definitely looked familiar, but he just couldn’t recall where he’d seen them.

Just as Fang Chenyi was frowning in thought, someone squeezed in beside him. He turned his head and was met with Principal Wang’s admiring expression:

"Brother Fang, you’re fucking incredible!"

Already puzzled, Fang Chenyi became even more confused after hearing what Principal Wang said.

He gestured for them to talk inside and squeezed toward the booth, only to be stopped by security at the entrance.

Fortunately, a female employee from Xuanji Technology spotted Fang Chenyi from inside. She hurried over and told the guards he was the company’s owner, and they were finally allowed to pass.

Once inside, Fang Chenyi asked Principal Wang, still puzzled:

"Hey, Xiaocong, these women look so familiar, but I just can’t place them. Are they celebrities?"

Unexpectedly, Principal Wang just stared at him in disbelief. Finally, he said:

"Holy shit, you can’t be serious, Brother Fang. Your girl isn’t here, you don’t have to act so innocent~"

When he saw that Fang Chenyi was still frowning in thought, Principal Wang couldn’t help but curse:

"Seriously, Brother Fang, you really don’t recognize them? This is the one and only Teacher Boduo!"

Fang Chenyi froze, his eyes widening. He slapped his forehead.

"Holy shit, you’re right! No wonder they looked so familiar. Damn it, I didn’t recognize them with their clothes on..."

He called over a staff member from Tokyo Entertainment who had come to help, only to learn that these "teachers" were all artists signed to their company. In other words, he was now their boss.

Upon learning that these women were all Fang Chenyi’s employees, Principal Wang was floored. After a moment of shock, he said with a hint of exasperation:

"Brother Fang, can we talk about something? From now on, can we go without the mosaics?"

Emm... 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Perhaps it was the presence of these "teachers," but Fang Chenyi felt a bit awkward staying there. He got up, took Qi Xiaotian with him, and squeezed his way back out of the crowd. Principal Wang, however, stayed behind to enjoy the show.

It had to be said that with their participation, Xuanji Technology’s reputation skyrocketed in an instant. Their booths also became the main attraction of the entire anime convention.

After leaving the crowd, he wandered around for a couple more laps, collected a good amount of junk, and then carried it back to the office to be recycled.

Unfortunately, he still didn’t get a special reward this time.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was noon. Cangjing Lu insisted on treating the new chairman to lunch. The offer was too gracious to refuse, so Fang Chenyi had no choice but to bring Principal Wang and Qi Xiaotian along.

Thankfully, the "teachers" weren’t attending, which was a relief to Fang Chenyi.

After lunch, Fang Chenyi didn’t go back to the convention center. Instead, he discussed it with Principal Wang and decided that since there wasn’t much else to do, he would head back to the country first.

The reason he was returning so soon was simply that this place wasn’t suitable for his junk-collecting. Not only were special rewards almost nonexistent, but the prices he got for recycling ordinary items were also much lower than back home.

Continuing to collect junk here was simply a waste of his time.

Still, the trip wasn’t a total loss. He had acquired two companies.

Principal Wang, on the other hand, wanted to stay for a few more days. So that afternoon, Fang Chenyi flew back home with his flight crew.

Of course, the main reason Principal Wang chose to stay behind wasn’t that he had unfinished business, but rather to ’preserve his life.’

That’s right, preserve his life. After riding in the plane Fang Chenyi had piloted on the way over, he now had a lingering phobia of flying—let alone flying in a plane piloted by Fang Chenyi...

At 5:30 PM, the plane landed punctually in the Beidaihe hangar.

He got off the plane, hopped into the Hongqi H9 parked in the lot, and half an hour later, he was back at the villa.

Upon their return, Qi Xiaotian immediately went back to his post to check on things from the past two days.

When Fang Chenyi returned to the villa, he found everyone eating dinner. He rubbed his growling stomach, washed his hands, and sat down at the table.

After dinner, Fang Chenyi pulled Bai Menghan back to his villa. As for what they were going to do?

Well, Fang Chenyi’s story was that he’d acquired two more companies and wanted to go over the plans with Bai Menghan.

Of course, planning was definitely on the agenda. But as for whether they did anything *before* the planning... well, we can’t go into detail. After all, our dear readers spend real money on their Chapter coins; we can’t have them reading filler, can we?

「Three hours later」

It was past ten o’clock at night. Seeing the exhaustion on Bai Menghan’s face, Fang Chenyi didn’t have the heart to discuss company plans with her any longer.

After helping Bai Menghan get to sleep, he went to the study by himself, found a pen and paper, and started to plan out his current portfolio of companies.

’I have twelve companies in total now. Lu Chao Technology, Qinhuang Sunshine Private Middle School, and Qinhuang Island Yuejian Company are all local, so I’ll set those aside for now. As for the rest, I’ll ignore Apple Inc. and Toyota Company for the time being.’

He doodled with the pen in his hand, muttering to himself. His plan remained the same: to move the headquarters of all these companies to Qinhuang Island.

After some more scribbling, Fang Chenyi finally tossed his pen onto the desk. It seemed the first step wasn’t deciding which company headquarters to build, but rather securing and planning a plot of land.

Only with the land could he begin to bring his vision to life.

He picked up the pen again and drew a large circle around the company names on the paper. He then muttered, "These companies are just the beginning. There will definitely be more in the future. That means the land I prepare has to be huge. Exceptionally huge. I might even need my own development zone! But how would I even do that?"

Suddenly, Fang Chenyi’s eyes lit up.
