Chapter 256: Chapter 255: System, Oh System, I’m Counting on You

In contrast, Fang Chenyi and Qi Xiaotian couldn’t help but chuckle.

Seeing the speechless look on Principal Wang’s face, Fang Chenyi smiled and changed the subject. "How did you guys end up in such an out-of-the-way corner?"

Fang Chenyi’s words seemed to have hit a sore spot. Their faces immediately fell, and the round-faced girl even started complaining.

"Sigh, what can we do? Haven’t you noticed? All the booths from Huaxia have been placed in this corner."

Hearing this, Fang Chenyi looked around and saw that it was just as the girl had said. This remote corner was indeed filled entirely with booths from Huaxia.

Seeing this, Fang Chenyi couldn’t help but frown. ’Damn, isn’t this taking things too far?’

He turned to the people from Xuanji Technology and told them to pack everything up. They were going to change booths in a little while!

After saying that, he ignored their stunned expressions and turned to walk toward the front of the hall.

Seeing this, Qi Xiaotian and Principal Wang hurriedly followed him.

"Brother Fang, where are you going? What’s the deal with Xuanji Technology? Don’t tell me you’ve taken a liking to that girl, have you? But it’s no use even if you go to the organizers now. The booth assignments are already set, and it’s impossible that anyone would be willing to switch."

Principal Wang quickened his pace to catch up to Fang Chenyi, explaining helplessly.

Fang Chenyi irritably gave Principal Wang a rap on the head, then said, also annoyed:

"Nothing good ever comes out of that mouth of yours. Xuanji Technology is my company... Besides, who said I was going to find the organizers? Perfect timing. Go and check for me how many companies from Huaxia are here in total, and how many booths they’re occupying."

Principal Wang was stunned. He never expected Fang Chenyi to own an animation company, let alone the top one in the country, Xuanji Technology.

He sighed helplessly. ’Sigh, compared to Brother Fang, the gap between us isn’t small at all...’

After muttering this to himself, he quickly agreed to Fang Chenyi’s request and turned back toward where they had just been.

As for Fang Chenyi, he glanced at Qi Xiaotian beside him but didn’t say anything, simply continuing toward the best-located booths at the very front.

Qi Xiaotian didn’t say a word, just silently following by Fang Chenyi’s side. From behind his sunglasses, his eyes vigilantly scanned their surroundings, ready to act at a moment’s notice.

The exhibition hall was enormous, with at least a thousand booths.

There were two prime locations. One was closest to the entrance, and the other was in the very center, near the main stage.

Both of these locations were undoubtedly occupied by local companies. Not only that, but while the foreign booths were three meters wide, the local companies had three booths in a row, making theirs nine meters wide.

Fang Chenyi walked without stopping for about three minutes and finally arrived at the booths in the central location.

He looked at the five large booths arranged in a circle around the main stage. From their decorations, he could clearly identify them:

The company for the anime *Naruto*, ’Plaster Anime Company’.

The production company for *One Piece*, ’Little Dog Animation Corporation’.

The producer of *Detective Conan*, ’Buren Chao Corporation’.

The production company for *Ultraman*, ’Pure Piggy Corporation’.

And the production company for *Death God*, ’Shangchuan Meiye Company’.

Looking at this row of bizarre names, a faint, almost imperceptible smile appeared on Fang Chenyi’s lips. He lightly patted the leather bag in his hand and then walked forward without hesitation.

The first company he came to was Plaster Anime Company.

Upon seeing Fang Chenyi and his companion arrive, two young women—one dressed as Haruno Sakura and the other as Uchiha Mei—walked over with small steps to greet them.

They bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle and said in unison:

"Konnichiwa~"

Although Fang Chenyi didn’t recognize who the two were dressed as, he knew the outfits must be from *Naruto*. However, his purpose for coming over obviously wasn’t to admire the ’cosplay’. He smiled, nodded a greeting to them, and then said with a smile:

"Konnichiwa, could I have some of your promotional materials to look at?" (The preceding dialogue was in Japanese.)

Perhaps because Fang Chenyi spoke fluent Japanese, the two women assumed he was a local. They bowed respectfully, handed one flyer each to Fang Chenyi and Qi Xiaotian, and began explaining their company’s latest anime.

Fang Chenyi took the flyer but had no interest in listening to her. When the woman paused after finishing a section of her pitch, he smiled and pointed to the stack of flyers in her hand. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Could I have a few more of these? I’d like to take them back for my company’s employees to look at."

The woman, not suspecting a thing, grabbed a stack of more than a dozen flyers and handed them to the incredibly handsome man in front of her.

Fang Chenyi took the materials and immediately handed them to Qi Xiaotian behind him. Then, he smiled and told the two women he was going to look around first and would be back later to listen to their full presentation.

Then, under the women’s reluctant gazes, he headed to the next company.

He repeated the same process, and soon, he and Qi Xiaotian had made a round of all five companies. By then, Qi Xiaotian was holding several dozen flyers. At first glance, you might have thought he was the one distributing them.

After leaving the fifth booth, he glanced back at the promotional materials in Qi Xiaotian’s hands. ’Still not enough,’ he thought.

So, he led Qi Xiaotian toward the entrance. Along the way, Fang Chenyi visited every booth on both sides, naturally adding a few more flyers to their collection after each stop.

By the time they reached the main entrance of the exhibition hall, Qi Xiaotian was holding a massive stack of promotional materials. A quick glance suggested there were at least two or three hundred flyers.

He reached out and took the promotional materials from Qi Xiaotian, then headed into a nearby restroom.

Seeing this, Qi Xiaotian started to offer to hold the stack for him, but Fang Chenyi gave him no chance. After saying, "Wait here for a minute," he turned and entered the restroom.

He went into a stall, placed the flyers directly on the small counter inside, and with a flick of his hand, took out a woven bag. He then silently called out to the System in his mind.

’System, oh System, whether or not our Great Huaxia can get a good booth is all up to you now!’

As he thought this, he grabbed a flyer and tossed it into the woven bag.
