Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 82

“This meal alone could cost his living expenses for half a month.” David tried to humiliate Casper, at the same time trying to show off in front of Rosaline.

“I think his major is finance and management. How could such a poor guy like him be in such a good college? Now I remember. The last time I went to Youngster Cafe, I saw him working as a waiter there.”

“What’s in his mind to come to this college? I bet he wants to be part of the rich community.”

“We’re from different worlds. Don’t invite him please.”

Most of the members looked down on Casper just like Sarah. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“If our club didn’t need someone to pick the ball, I would never allow him to join.” David was still pissed with the previous incident.

Sensing the mass protest from the club, Rosaline kept her silence. As she was not one of the members, she figured it was not her place to voice opinions.

“Hey, you there. Remember to clean up and turn off the air conditioner. You got that?”

Sarah instructed Casper abruptly, as she was worried that Rosaline would invite him to join them again.

Ring! Ring!

Right when Sarah finished her sentence, Casper’s phone rang with a classical music ringtone. Everyone was stunned for a second and then burst into laughter, as that classical music was something beyond their age.

Ignoring those teasing laughs, Casper took out his phone and noticed it was Stallion. Without hesitation, he stepped inside the stadium to answer the call.

It turned out Stallion had completed his thorough investigation about the purchase of the Horington food street. All that was left now was Casper’s decision.

Casper abruptly cleaned up the stadium and marched to the school entrance to hail a cab. On his way, he called Elena to join him.

“Mr. Simpson, where are we heading? I didn’t bring any stationeries necessary for official duties.”

Elena got in the cab in a hurry, dressed in casual wear. She wanted to reject Casper when he called her as it was a weekend. But Casper said it was urgent, so she eventually agreed to come.

“It’s fine. We will borrow them if needed. I need your keen judgment about this. I’m going to purchase a street…” Casper started revealing his plan in an extraordinarily composed tone.

“What? Are you going to buy me a street? That’s too much…”

Before Casper could finish, Elena started rejecting in awe.

She honestly thought that Casper was going to buy her a street.

She felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest from beating too hard.

“I need you to evaluate the street potential for me. After all, you have more experience than me…”

Seeing as she had misunderstood his words, Casper shook his head helplessly while trying to explain patiently.

The moment Horington food street caught his eyes, he went back and studied the map. The street was located at the center of all transportation routes, which was a great advantage. It would be an excellent place to develop business.

After considering all possible elements, Casper made his decision to invest in this particular spot.

“I see. Where is the street?” Elena was trying hard to recompose herself after such an awkward misunderstanding.

At that instant, she could feel her face burning hot from embarrassment.

She nervously turned to observe Casper’s expression, as she feared that her true feelings towards him had been exposed. After seeing Casper was not concerned much, she felt relieved for a little.

“It’s the same street that you treated me supper last time. Are you shocked?” Casper said honestly.

“Wow, you’re really into that street. Mr. Simpson, but that street has no value. I’m afraid you’ll lose money if you buy it.” Elena was deeply concerned.

She thought Casper was joking about it, but now she realized he meant every word he said. However, she doubted if it was a place worth investing in, considering the amount of money involved.

As an executive secretary, it was her obligation to prevent Casper from losing unnecessary money.

“I don’t think so.” Casper grinned broadly at her.

Seeing that Casper had made up his mind, Elena let out a long sigh.

At that moment, she felt an extra burden on her shoulder. She swore secretly in her heart that she must not let this investment failed. Needless to mention, the money needed to buy the whole street was beyond anyone’s imagination.

The cab stopped at the street entrance, and the driver refused to drive any further in.

“Young man, don’t come here after midnight. Remember that…”

Before leaving, the cab driver gave an earnest warning while staring at them sternly.

“Boss, all the owners here were leaping in joy when they heard someone was going to buy their shops. They thought it was a prank.” Stallion diligently welcomed Casper. “Let me show you the way. They’re waiting under the tree.”

Guided by Stallion, Casper arrived at a tree, where around thirty shop owners were gathering.

Upon Stallion’s introduction, all of them stared at Casper skeptically. Judging by his age and his cheap clothes, they were half convinced that he was a person of wealth.

With that, they began to suspect if Stallion was fooling them. The second they spotted Casper approaching from afar, they even thought he was some trash collector. Even though the lady beside him did seem richer, she could not be anything more than a white-collar.
