The next day, Chen Cheng woke up early, which was rare for him.

He went downstairs and, together with Anna's assistant, En Hui, made breakfast for the two little sleepyheads upstairs.

Scum Cheng was actually acting like a good man.

After finishing breakfast, he went upstairs to wake Anna.

When Anna heard from the assistant that Chen Cheng had made breakfast, the way she looked at Chen Cheng was intense.

She couldn't wait to pull Chen Cheng upstairs to spar with him in "jiu-jitsu."

Unfortunately, that wasn't possible right now.

The intense looks they exchanged earned them an eye-roll from Zou Yu.

During the day, Chen Cheng took his Bodyguard to a recording studio.

Many singers had already arrived.

Allison and Mei Mei had also arrived.

Scum Cheng wasn't familiar with the idol of Wang Tie Mei's daughter, Wang Moli, so Anna had helped with the invitation.

[Wang Moli's idol was Mei Mei, and she later went to see her concert. Zhao Rui was a fan of Fan Fan, and Fan Fan was still singing "Wide Noodles." So, this world has...]

Chen Cheng was going to record a chorus song today, ostensibly to raise funds for Third World countries suffering from the Great Flu.

In reality, it was just a tactic Scum Cheng was using to curry favor with Bobby, a high-ranking SEC official.

Because the name of this song was "We Are The World."

It was written by a superstar on Blue Planet named Michael Jackson, in collaboration with Lionel Richie.

Later, Michael gathered 45 singers to perform the song.

Its value goes without saying.

Although the scale of singers Chen Cheng gathered today couldn't compare to Michael's.

But the elements were very complete.

Black, white, Asian, mixed-race;

Chinese descent, Japanese descent, Latino, and so on.

The performers' professions ranged from singers, dancers, music producers, and actors, to workers, directors, entrepreneurs, and even Chen Cheng, the capitalist.

The recording locations spanned the Eurasian continent and the American continent.

Chen Cheng was recording in New York;

Ben had the European singers record in London;

Xiao Ye found some friends in the circle, and together with the company's artists, they recorded in Shanghai;

Ding Jianguo didn't participate; her English was too poor. Mostly, Chen Cheng was afraid she would sing something like "Qiong Ha" and make a fool of herself.

Finally, the recordings from the three places would be mixed and edited, harmonizing with each other to create a version of the song with three lead vocalists.

Chen Cheng used the alias Chen Jianan to sign off as the lyricist and composer, while the arrangement was done by a music producer in the singing group.

During the recording, Chen Cheng even mimicked the voices of Sia and Adele.

It left Allison, Mei Mei, and the others completely stunned.

In this recording, the one with the most camera time was actually Allison, the up-and-coming rock singer.

Chen Cheng wore his signature mask the entire time. When taking group photos, he stood on the very edge.

Recently, there was nowhere to get a haircut, so Chen Cheng tied his hair into a little bun, also known as a samurai topknot.

In the recording studio, the prelude slowly began to play.

"There comes a time when we heed a certain call (When we hear the earnest call)"

"When the world must come together as one (The whole world should unite)"

"There are people dying (Some people are dying)"

"Oh, when it's time to lend a hand to life the greatest gift of all (It's time to lend a hand and give life the best gift)"

"..."

The sales revenue and derivative income from this song would be used for medical aid in Third World countries.

The copyright for the lyrics and music remained with Chen Cheng.

Starlight didn't have global distribution capabilities, so overseas distribution was licensed to Universal.

On Xiao Ye's side, she quickly recorded "Tomorrow Will Be Better" with Qiao Jingjing, Deng Xiaoqi, and Ding Jianguo for domestic release.

It would also be treated as a charity song, and the copyright would still belong to Starlight.

After recording, Chen Cheng declined Mei Mei's invitation to discuss music and quickly slipped away.

When he got home, the moment he stepped inside, Zou Yu came to greet him.

"It seems we're stuck here."

"Hmm?" Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"Private jets can't fly, and foreigners can't enter. Commercial flights, which were already few, have also been suspended."

Chen Cheng: "..."

Fuck, he only thought about how easy it would be to command from here, but forgot about how to get back.

"When we get back, let's hire a flight crew. Stop waiting for airline assignments."

As he said this, he thought for a moment, "See if there are any transit options. Whenever we can leave, we'll leave."

Zou Yu nodded. "Okay."

She raised an eyebrow. "Anna is newly pregnant; shouldn't you be with her?"

Chen Cheng smiled helplessly. "The main structure of the Company Name data center is finished. There isn't much decoration in the factory; what's left is equipment installation and debugging."

"I'm the technical lead. Being here, there's a time difference, so communication is very inefficient."

Zou Yu rolled her eyes at him. "I think you just want to return to your nest of tenderness."

Chen Cheng didn't mind and gave her butt a slap. "I think you're asking for it."

Walking into the living room, he saw Anna sitting on the sofa, having fallen asleep while watching TV.

The documentary "Clarkson's Farm" was still playing on the TV.

Chen Cheng sat on the sofa and recalled the development of the Great Flu in America.

He suddenly realized that getting two pilots from back home was actually the most convenient way to return.

If only I could fly it myself...

In an instant, Chen Cheng's eyes widened.

That's right, having a dad with it or a mom with it is not as good as having it yourself.

Advanced Driving Mastery refers to land vehicles. Does taking off from the ground count as a land vehicle?

Thinking about this, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of Chen Cheng's mouth.

However, it didn't matter if it didn't count; he had eidetic memory, and his learning ability was at least ten times that of a normal person.

Chen Cheng took out his phone to send a message and sat down to watch the documentary playing on the TV.

"Oppa~ You're back."

After a while, Anna suddenly woke up and called out to Chen Cheng.

She propped herself up, adjusted her position, and laid her head on Chen Cheng's lap.

Chen Cheng affectionately stroked her fair face. "Hmm~"

"Baby, shall we buy a farm?"

"Huh? Why?" Anna was stunned, doubting she had heard correctly.

Chen Cheng smiled. "Don't you always like watching others run a farm?"

"How about we try it too?"

"See if we can become super landowners?"

In reality, it was Chen Cheng himself who, watching this show, wanted to get closer to nature.

His farming genes were awakening crazily.

When he went back for the New Year, looking at the farmland in front of and behind the house, the signs were already there.

And recently, he had drawn some blood from Snow Leopard, so he was flush with cash.

Gold had risen all the way from 1470 to 1730, and Company Name's gold bulls had made a killing.

This week, they had already started to orderly close their positions.

When trading any financial asset, once it reaches a certain volume, the battle line gets very long.

This time was the same; starting from January, they had laid out the plan, and now, they were doing a mid-term harvest.

Because the time was drawn out too long, the thrill of trading had started to slowly decline.

Anna's eyes darted around quickly, imagining herself as a farm owner in her mind.

After a long while, she pursed her lips, her eyes full of stars. "Then shall we try?"
