Richest Rag-picker

Back when Fang Chenyi used to live stream, he didn’t have anywhere near his current net worth. At the time, nobody paid him much attention or tried to dox him.

Now, his net worth and the corporate group under his name had all been dug up.

In other words, Fang Chenyi’s current net worth was in a completely different league from Brother Xiaoma’s. To put it another way, none of the top tech tycoons were his match anymore.

If Fang Chenyi were to enter the live-streaming world now, it would be somewhat inappropriate.

He shook his head, somewhat amused.

"It’s really not that I won’t give it to you, it’s just that you’re a little late. I just gave the song rights to Wan Li."

Hearing Fang Chenyi’s words, Principal Wang, who was in the middle of taking a sip of water, froze. He stared in disbelief and asked loudly,

"What?! You gave it to Uncle Wan?! No, I mean, Boss, what’s the use in giving it to them? Ah, this won’t do. Hey, um, Boss, and you, you two carry on. I’m going to find Uncle Wan about those song rights. If I wait any longer, I’m afraid I won’t even get the leftovers! Oh, right, and Boss, you really have to think about that live-streaming idea!"

The guy had come and gone in a flash, running off after just two glasses of water.

Watching Principal Wang rush out like a whirlwind, Fang Chenyi couldn’t help but find it amusing. ’What’s his hurry? Seeing as he’s helped me out quite a bit, I was actually thinking of offering him another song.’

’But since the kid ran off, I guess I’ll just forget about it.’

Leaving Principal Wang aside, let’s turn back to Fang Chenyi.

Glancing at Bai Menghan, who also wore an amused expression, Fang Chenyi said,

"Xiao Hanhan, things here are pretty much sorted out. I’m thinking of taking a trip to Africa. Do you want to come with me?"

The trip to Africa was, of course, to visit the diamond mine. After all, nearly three months had passed since he’d acquired it, and he still hadn’t gone to see it even once.

When she heard Fang Chenyi was going to Africa, Bai Menghan naturally wanted to go along. However, all their companies were currently preparing to relocate, and she was needed to coordinate the entire process.

Fang Chenyi knew this, of course. He had only asked on a whim. ’Besides, I don’t know what dangers I might encounter on my first trip. It’s better if I go alone.’

So, he said with a smile,

"How about this: I’ll take Xiaotian and the others with me this time, and I’ll take you for a trip next time."

Though she was reluctant to see him go, Bai Menghan knew it was for business, so she nodded gently.

"Alright, then. You must be careful. When are you leaving?"

Fang Chenyi gave her a light SMACK on the lips and then said with a smile,

"I haven’t decided exactly when, but the sooner, the better. I’ll check on the status of the cruise ship, the Chen Meng. The crew should be mostly hired by now, right?"

Hearing Fang Chenyi’s question, Bai Menghan nodded. The matter of the Chen Meng, the cruise ship formerly known as the Ocean Harmony—including its renaming and the hiring of crew and service staff—had been entirely entrusted to Liu Yishou.

’After all this time, it should be nearly finished,’ she thought.

He picked up his phone and called Liu Yishou, whose answer was that the refit had already been completed a week ago.

They were now in the process of recruiting personnel. However, because the cruise ship was short so many crew and service staff, they had only managed to hire a fraction of them—about five hundred people so far.

For Fang Chenyi, however, five hundred service staff was plenty. He wasn’t planning on having the Chen Meng host tourists, after all; he was just using it for his own personal travel.

In fact, Fang Chenyi’s original idea was that the three hundred crew members would be enough, and he wouldn’t hire any service staff. But after talking with Liu Yishou, he realized the cruise ship was simply enormous. While sailing with just three hundred crew members was feasible...

...the sanitation and maintenance of all the onboard facilities would become a massive problem.

After all, the ship originally had a service staff of nearly three thousand people.

Even with the newly hired service staff, the total number was, at most, eight hundred.

And that was just enough to be self-sufficient without any tourists on board.

Since the ship was ready to set sail at any time, Fang Chenyi simply ordered it to be fully supplied for a departure the morning after tomorrow.

According to the information Fang Chenyi had looked up, the diamond mine he was visiting was located within South Africa. The country was surrounded on its east, south, and west by the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. If it weren’t connected to the mainland on one side, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it an island nation.

Furthermore, the diamond mine Fang Chenyi had acquired was located on a mountain right next to the Atlantic Ocean.

Because of this, Fang Chenyi would likely be living on the Chen Meng for this trip, so he specifically instructed Liu Yishou to prepare more than enough provisions.

And as someone who had retired from ’that kind of work,’ Liu Yishou knew exactly what was needed the moment he heard the destination.

After finishing his call with Liu Yishou, Fang Chenyi called Qi Xiaotian. He explained the itinerary for the day after tomorrow and instructed him to bring the Apache helicopter aboard the Chen Meng in case of emergencies.

After all, the sightseeing helicopter on the cruise ship was no match for the Apache, neither in performance nor in its intimidating presence.

Fang Chenyi wasn’t too concerned about this trip to Africa. ’After all, I have the powerful cheat ability, Celestial Gods. No matter what trouble I run into, all I have to do is use it, and won’t they all just become my loyal followers?’

That was the only reason he was willing to go in person. Otherwise, if there were any real danger, he would rather abandon the diamond mine than take the risk.

"Darling, you have to be careful."

As Fang Chenyi put his phone away, Bai Menghan, who was in his arms, repeated what she had just said. It was clear she was still shaken from the last incident.

Smiling, he stroked Bai Menghan’s soft hair and planted a light SMACK on her forehead.

"Xiao Hanhan, I’ll be gone for at least half a month. How about... we make the most of our time and do what lovers do?"

This time, Bai Menghan was very cooperative. With a soft "mhm," she let Fang Chenyi carry her back to the bedroom.

They were busy from noon until evening, and only the two of them knew just how much sweat was shed in between.

RING RING RING... The sound of a phone cut them short. Annoyed, he fumbled for the device, about to hang up, but when he saw the caller ID, he froze. It was his mother-in-law...
