Chapter 127

Francis started driving to Rhonwen Road. Carlisle leaned back and crossed his legs, lightly tapping at

finger against the window. He exuded the air that only someone used to being in a position of power

would.

Sunny sat up straight, seemingly rather nervous. Carlisle was younger than him, but he was rich. This

was Sunny’s first time coming into contact with someone as wealthy as Carlisle since starting this job.

The three of them didn’t speak. The silence became a little oppressive. Carlisle was the first to break

the Ice. He asked, “How long have you been in this line of work?”

Sunny hurriedly answered, “Two years and six months if you include my internship!”

Carlisle nodded and smiled. “Would you be interested in working with me?”

Sunny’s eyes widened. He scratched his head. “I’m worried I won’t be able to do well, though. I don’t

exactly have the best results to show despite being with Premier Properties for so long”

Carlisle chuckled. “A good salesman needs to have courage–the courage to try new things and the

courage to put their thoughts into action. They need to have their own opinions and judgment. If you

don’t

dare to try something new, how will you go further in this industry?”

Regardless of the industry or field, salespeople were important. They had a direct impact on the

company’s revenue and development.

Things were the same for Carlisle’s game studio. If he had a good salesman promoting the games, it

would be a quick way to make money for the company.

“What sort of business is your family in, Mr. Zahn?” Like Bill, Sunny thought Carlisle’s money came

from his parents. If he was asking Sunny to work with him, it was likely he was going to take over the

family

business.

“My family isn’t doing any business. I’m the one starting a business, and I have a game studio,” Carlisle

explained

“Oh. Alright, then. I’ll do it!” Sunny didn’t hesitate anymore. He agreed to Carlisle’s proposal. He had no

intention to return to Premier Properties, so he was jobless for now. If that were the case, he would

work

for Carlisle for some time to see how things went.

Ten minutes later, they pulled over at Rhonwen Road. Sunny showed Carlisle around the apartment,

which was a solid brick building that had been built in the ‘70s and ‘80s. There were even outdated

murals

and slogans on the wall.

Sunny pointed at a seven–story building and said, “The six units you wanted are all in here, Mr. Zahn.”

Francis lit a cigarette and narrowed his eyes as he asked, “So, how much do these old units cost?”

Sunny glanced at Carlisle. He was a little diffident as he said, “They’re 150 dollars per square foot.”

“What the fuck? Something like this costs that much?” Francis‘ eyes bulged. He was this close to

calling

Sunny a daylight robber,

The average prices for new homes nowadays were about 200 dollars per square foot. The units at

Riverwatch District were secondhand, and they were old ones that had been built in the ‘70s and ‘80s.

They looked like they would collapse at any time. And they were priced at 150 dollars per square foot!

Sunny’s face warmed. “Since I’ve already decided to work with you, Mr. Zahn, I’ll be frank. The units

here. genuinely aren’t worth buying…”

Francis chimed in, “You really should reconsider this, boss!”

Carlisle smiled. “No, I’ll take them all!”

150 dollars per square foot was much lower than he’d budgeted.

Francis and Sunny both sighed helplessly. Then, their jaws dropped when Carlisle spoke up again. “I

have eight million dollars right now. I want to invest all of it in here!”

“What the fuck?”

“What?”

Francis‘ and Sunny’s eyes bulged. They thought eight million dollars was a bit of a stretch.

Francis said doubtfully, “You’re not pulling my leg, are you, boss? You even borrowed money from that

rich

lass a few days ago!”

Carlisle smiled. “Do you know why I did it?”

Francis squinted and thought about it. Then, he said, “You bought a painting with it. Don’t tell me you

bought something genuine with that money!”

Carlisle’s smile widened. He didn’t say anything. Francis clutched at his chest and breathed deeply.

“With your money, you can buy expensive cars and a huge villa. Even if you just save the rest of the

money in the bank and live off the interest, you won’t have to worry about money for the rest of your

life!”

Sunny’s eyes were bright. He thought Carlisle was just a regular Richie Rich who would have about a

million dollars or so. Eight million dollars was way beyond his expectations.

Carlisle looked at him. “That’s my mission for you. I want you to help me invest all my money over the

next two days.”

Sunny gulped. “Are you sure you won’t reconsider, boss?”

Carlisle shook his head. “Just do as I say.”

Sunny didn’t understand his thought process, but neither did he have the nerve to defy his new boss.

He could only nod and say, “I’ll try my best to find appropriate listings, then!”
