Hearing Fang Chenyi's words, Bai Menghan felt an even stronger sense of grievance well up inside her.
'Am I really that unlikable? Do you really hate me this much? I've never met a man like this in my entire life. But if you're not interested in me, why did you let me in your car in the first place!'
Though she felt wronged, Bai Menghan forcefully suppressed it. She took a deep breath, her 260 IQ brain kicking into high gear. Forcing a smile onto her face, she turned her head to look at the handsome, frowning man:
"Hey, handsome, are you going to go collect trash in a bit?"
'Isn't this just holding up production? In the time it takes to chitchat with you, I could have cleaned out at least one trash can. And one trash can means tens of thousands in income!' Fang Chenyi rolled his eyes irritably and said with impatience:
"Isn't that obvious? This is how I make a living. What else would I be doing if not collecting scraps? Alright, alright, hurry up and get out. Don't hold me up from my work."
'As if I'd believe that...'
Hearing Fang Chenyi's words, Bai Menghan was utterly speechless. 'Make a living from this? You drive a supercar worth over twenty million, and you're telling me you make a living collecting scraps? That's like burning newspaper at a grave—who do you think you're kidding, the ghosts?'
"Well, then... I can take you inside to collect scraps. There are lots of trash cans in our residential complex, and they don't usually let scavengers in, so the cans are full of good stuff."
It seemed she had hit on Fang Chenyi's weak spot. As soon as she said this, the handsome man's eyes lit up with little stars.
She wasn't wrong. Century Garden was the most high-end residential complex in the area, and for that very reason, access was strictly controlled. Thinking of this, Fang Chenyi didn't hesitate. He shoved the woven bag back into Bai Menghan's arms, cranked the steering wheel, and the Lamborghini roared to life, heading straight for the complex's main gate.
The security guard at the gate had noticed the supercar long ago. He had even been standing in the distance, taking a few pictures with his phone. After all, you didn't see a supercar like this every day. Now, seeing it drive toward him, the young guard immediately snapped to attention and saluted, quickly raising the barrier gate with his other hand.
As he passed the guard, Fang Chenyi gave a light tap on the horn in acknowledgment. The young guard's posture immediately straightened, and he gloated internally, 'See that? The boss in the supercar honked at me!' He watched until the supercar disappeared around a corner before finally lowering his hand. Turning back, he saw a Toyota Prado trying to follow it in. Spotting no resident access card on the windshield, he quickly lowered the barrier and marched toward the Toyota with a stern face. "What do you think you're doing! You're not a resident, why are you trying to force your way in!"
The Toyota's driver slowly lowered the window, revealing a fat-headed, big-eared middle-aged man:
"Hey, you little security guard, you trying to get fired or something?! You didn't stop the car in front, why are you stopping me!"
The guard's eyes widened at his words, and he shot back without hesitation: "Obviously! If you were driving a car worth tens of millions, I'd let you in too! Now, do you have an access card or not? If not, stop blocking the gate and back up!"
...
Leaving the scene at the gate aside, Fang Chenyi, guided by the woman, slowly brought the supercar to a stop in front of a building. After parking, he stared at the row of no less than six large trash cans not far away, his mouth practically watering.
Beside him, Bai Menghan watched this scene, completely numb. 'Alright, I get it. In the eyes of this handsome, wealthy young man, I'm truly not as appealing as trash...'
Grabbing the woven bag and trash picker, Fang Chenyi unhesitatingly threw open the car door and charged toward the long row of trash cans. 'WAHAHA, my lovely little trash babies, don't worry, I'm coming for you!'

(Host has collected one old set of keys. Special system function triggered. Reward: ten detached villas in Century Garden. The property deeds and house keys for the villas have been placed in the host's woven bag. Please check for receipt.)
The two sudden and different notification sounds in his mind made Fang Chenyi freeze, and his scrap-collecting movements came to a halt.
Shifting the trash picker and the woven bag to one hand, he bent over and began to rummage through the bag with a RUSTLE.
Soon, a thick stack of property deeds appeared in his hand. Seeing this, Fang Chenyi immediately cursed out loud, "Holy shit, this is insane! It just gave me ten detached villas?"
You have to understand, Century Garden was in the heart of Qinhuang Island, the most high-end residential complex in the entire city. The detached villas inside were priced at nearly thirty million yuan each. Ten of them together... that was a full three hundred million!
Doing the math, even Fang Chenyi himself was shocked. Three hundred million... what did that even mean? That was three of my 'small goals'!
GULP. He swallowed hard, the excitement on his face impossible to hide.
"So, what do you think, handsome? The trash in our complex is especially plentiful, isn't it? I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Just as Fang Chenyi was staring at the thick stack of property deeds in excitement, Bai Menghan walked up beside him. Seeing him just standing there, hugging a woven bag and grinning foolishly, she was once again left speechless. 'If anyone else saw this, they'd definitely think he had a screw loose.' Of course, if she hadn't already spent so much time with this handsome guy, Bai Menghan would have thought the same thing.
Interrupted by Bai Menghan, Fang Chenyi snapped back to reality. He tossed the thick stack of property deeds back into the woven bag. His gaze toward Bai Menghan was no longer as disdainful as before. 'Whatever her personality is like, it has nothing to do with me. The main thing is, if it weren't for this woman, I wouldn't have just picked up three hundred million worth of villas, right?'
"Haha, you know, the trash in your complex really is top-notch! How about this: you go wait in the car, and after I'm done with the rest of these trash cans, I'll treat you to a meal!"
Saying this, Fang Chenyi didn't bother checking the other special reward and instead turned back toward the trash cans he hadn't finished yet.
'The revolution is not yet complete; the comrade must press on!'
Looking at the trash cans before him, Fang Chenyi felt as if stacks of cold, hard cash were waving at him...
