Chapter 266: The Secret to Wealth



"Mr. Zyden, did you need us?" Yae asked, looking a bit embarrassed.

I called Yae and her three other co-workers into my main office for a bit of fun.

Life had been a bit mundane lately with all the lie-low stuff, and I figured I could use some enjoyment while I still had some free time.

Knowing that my peaceful routine was bound to get chaotic soon, like any regular person, I thought, why not indulge in some leisure to satisfy my urges?

The office we are currently at was specially designed for me, featuring a large desk with a three-monitor setup with a 32 inches curved monitor in the middle, decked out with the most expensive computer parts available.

On the right, there was a massive 100-inch OLED monitor. A comfy brown sofa that could turn into a bed nearby. Under the OLED TV, you'd find the latest gaming consoles along with a lot of games.

Oh, and there's this cool wood-style refrigerator on the side for my favorite energy drinks.

Most of the time, when I'm bored, I play games here while pretending to work.

The four girls kept darting their eyes around, clearly processing the unexpected sight inside my office. This place was usually off-limits, and the sheer beauty of the design left them in shock. The contrast with the formal spaces they were accustomed to must have been quite a surprise.

'That's right, I've got some things to share that will make you all more efficient at your work,' I said, tapping the table for emphasis while pretending to leaf through a folder, I was actually engrossed in the latest release of Shonen Jump that I had on hand.

"Before we dive into things, how about we kick off with a little chat? Take a seat, and let's have a casual interview," I said, gesturing to the chairs around. I wanted to keep things relaxed and conversational like good boss.

As the four girls settled into their seats, I leaned back in my chair, trying to maintain an easygoing atmosphere.

They sat as a collective vision of beauty, each boasting a charisma level surpassing 10, a rare feat, considering even Allysa's charisma topped at 8 normally.

Yae, with her brown hair cascading in loose waves, possessed a cute charm. Her expressive brown eyes sparkled with adoration, and a warm, infectious smile adorned her lips. Her presence radiated a friendly and inviting aura.

As they looked at me, you could practically see the curiosity in their eyes. In their world, owning a company meant being loaded. Little did they know, I'd been pulling some shady moves to build up my own wealth.

As they all waited for my response, I leaned in a bit and dropped the bomb.

"Well, you see, it's because I'm an opportunist. I go after what I want, no matter what it is," I declared, a hint of boldness in my tone.

They all nodded at my response, probably thinking I was about to drop some secret recipe next for becoming rich. Well, they weren't entirely wrong.

"Are you satisfied with your life right now?" I asked my voice turning more serious." You're living a good life but are you really okay with just this? Don't you want to own your own house ? Or buy expensive luxury items , or maybe even a car?" I asked them .

Their expressions changed when we started talking about all those material things. If I were some old dude, it might've been a bit weird, but hey, I'm really good-looking, so I could probably get their attention without flashing cash.

"Do you know the five ways to get rich?" I raised my finger, creating a bit of suspense.

"First, you hit the jackpot and be born in a rich family. None of you got that, right off the bat."

"Second, you study your brains out, become irreplaceable, and in turn, you get compensated and be promoted."

"Third, you've got some talent, and you work on it until it's a money-making machine."

"Fourth, you dive into the business world and outwork everyone, including your own employees. Never let anyone out-hustle you."

Taking a moment, I paused and took a sip of my coffee.

"What's the fifth one ?" They asked.

I placed my coffee back on the table, smiling at them. "Learn how to suck my dick really, really well."
