Fang Chenyi was now keenly feeling his shortage of manpower. After giving his father-in-law his tasks, he turned his gaze to his own mother.

The moment his mother saw her son looking at her, she quickly waved her hands before Fang Chenyi could even speak. "I don’t know how to do anything. I can’t do it."

But Fang Chenyi just chuckled:

"Who says my mom isn’t capable? My mom is amazing. For now, Mom, I want you to go with Dad to the company and learn the ropes. Try to take over all of Yuejian Company’s management within a week. That’ll free up Dad for other things. I have an even more important group waiting for him to take over."

After all, this was for her son’s sake, and having something to do was certainly better than staying home all day.

His mother agreed without any hesitation.

Seeing Fang Chenyi assign jobs to all four of their parents, Bai Menghan covered her mouth to stifle a laugh.

"You’re quite the slave driver, aren’t you?"

Hearing this, Fang Chenyi chuckled again. "Hehe, Menghan, you’re graduating in half a year, right? I suggest you skip the master’s degree. You’ve seen how many companies we have. Once we integrate them into a group, I’m saving the top position, the one overseeing everything, for you."

With the serious business concluded, Fang Chenyi suddenly remembered he had bought them bags. He shoveled the remaining porridge in his bowl into his stomach in a few quick bites, said, "I’ll be right back," and turned to leave the villa.

Jogging all the way to his garage, Fang Chenyi was left speechless. Instead of grabbing the bags, he immediately called Qi Xiaotian.

The entire villa complex had now been separated from the adjacent residential area on Wan Li’s orders, and a new, exclusive main gate had been opened.

The whole villa complex covered over a hundred acres, and the villas were spaced far apart. Running back and forth every day was inconvenient, but driving wasn’t practical either. Fang Chenyi decided to have Qi Xiaotian purchase a batch of small electric carts, like the ones used on golf courses. He’d place two at the entrance of each villa to make getting around easier.

But just as the phone began to ring, Qi Xiaotian’s voice called out from nearby.

"Brother Fang, you were looking for me."

Turning his head, he saw Qi Xiaotian, dressed head-to-toe in hunter camo, riding over on a two-wheeled electric scooter that had also been spray-painted with a camouflage pattern.

In the darkness of the night, despite the streetlights, you really couldn’t spot the guy unless you looked closely.

Seeing this, Fang Chenyi was taken aback and asked in confusion:

"Where’d you get the electric scooter, kid?"

Qi Xiaotian grinned, revealing a row of pearly white teeth, and chuckled.

"Hehe, I picked them up when I went out to buy the surveillance equipment. I bought five in total. After we got back, we modified them ourselves. This way, our patrols are faster and quieter, you know?"

Fang Chenyi nodded. ’Looks like this guy and I were on the same page. I was just about to have him buy some, too.’

"Hehe, Brother Fang, was there something you needed?"

Hearing Qi Xiaotian’s question, Fang Chenyi finally remembered why he’d called. He glared and said in exasperation:

"You have the nerve to ask? I can’t believe you knew to get electric scooters for yourselves but didn’t think to get some for us too!"

Qi Xiaotian was taken aback and said, sounding a little wronged:

"I just figured a man of your status, Brother Fang, couldn’t possibly ride something like this, so I didn’t buy any for you."

He rapped Qi Xiaotian lightly on the head in annoyance.

"Status, my ass! If a man of status can’t ride this, am I supposed to walk?"

"Well, not exactly. I was just thinking that even if you were to ride an electric scooter, it would have to be a Lamborghini or a Ferrari one." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Qi Xiaotian chuckled and muttered, half-joking.

The comment was made in jest, but it sparked an idea in Fang Chenyi. ’He’s right,’ he thought. He’d often seen news online about things like Rolls-Royce umbrellas costing a fortune. Since he wasn’t short on cash, getting a few Lamborghini electric scooters wasn’t impossible.

With that in mind, Fang Chenyi took out his phone, found Gou Dan’s number, and dialed.

BEEP... BEEP... BEEP... The call connected quickly, and Gou Dan’s distinctive voice came through:

"Oh, Mr. Fang! It’s such an honor to receive your call. Your Wuling Hongguang has been fully repaired, and we’re preparing to ship it back. It should get to you around the day after tomorrow."

Hearing Gou Dan mention it, Fang Chenyi finally remembered that he did, in fact, have a "godly" Wuling van in for repairs.

But that wasn’t what he was concerned about.

"Haha, Gou Dan, I have a big procurement order for you. I was wondering if you could handle it?"

The moment he heard the word "order," Gou Dan’s energy surged. He flipped over and leaped out of bed, causing two female voices to cry out in surprise on the other end of the line.

Fang Chenyi shook his head helplessly. ’Looks like I called at a bad time.’

"Yes, yes, yes! Absolutely no problem! As long as you need something, Mr. Fang, I, Gou Dan, will be sure to satisfy you!"

’That sounded so awkward...’

Thinking that the other party might be in the middle of... "plowing," Fang Chenyi decided to get straight to the point.

"Right, as long as it’s possible. In that case, help me ask around if Lamborghini, Ferrari, or Rolls-Royce can produce electric vehicles. I want twelve two-wheelers and twelve four-wheelers. Er, twelve isn’t enough. Make it twenty of each."

’There are twelve villas in total. One four-wheeler and one two-wheeler for each villa entrance, and the rest will be for Qi Xiaotian and his men.’

"AHEM, Mr. Fang, none of those brands you mentioned make electric vehicles... However, I have heard that Bugatti once released ten two-wheeled electric scooters. But they were given as gifts to their top-tier members. And each one was priced at around one million RMB."

"Bugatti’s? That’s fine too, as long as the performance is good. One million RMB each, so twenty would be twenty million, right? I’ll wire you the money later. Have them start production for me as soon as possible. Oh, right, have five of them made with a camouflage finish."

After hanging up, Fang Chenyi saw that Qi Xiaotian was standing in front of him, staring with his mouth agape and his eyes wide.

He waved a hand in front of the man’s face, then unhesitatingly snatched his electric scooter. "What are you staring at? Are you stunned? Alright, alright, this scooter is being commandeered by your big bro now. Haha!"

With that, he twisted the throttle, and the scooter shot off toward the garage.

He grabbed the five remaining shopping bags from his car, hung them on the handlebars, twisted the throttle, and made a slick turn on the spot, speeding stylishly toward Villa No. 1.

Behind him, Qi Xiaotian watched Fang Chenyi’s retreating figure, swallowed hard with a GULP, and muttered, "So rich, so reckless..."

Meanwhile, Fang Chenyi rode the electric scooter back to the entrance of Villa No. 1 in just a few moments. He coolly flicked down the kickstand, grabbed the shopping bags, and walked into the villa.
