off Reed and Bruno were having a great time eating, drinking, and chatting.
After they were full and satisfied, they called for a driver to take them home. They squeezed together in the passenger seat of the Koenigsegg and headed back to the desolate outskirts of Silk City.
When the driver pulled the supercar into the old, rundown neighborhood, he was stunned.
In his mind, anyone who could afford such a top-tier supercar must be from a wealthy family.They should be living in a big mansion or a high-rise apartment in a rich part of the city.
Who would have thought that Berloff, the owner of the car, lived in such a shabby place?
Berloff and Bruno, swaying from the alcohol, stumbled into their rented apartment. The moment they hit the bed, they were out cold.
At six the next morning, Berloff woke up, rubbing his sleepy eyes, driven by the urgent need to pee.
After relieving himself, he groggily walked back to the bedroom and noticed his pants pocket was stuffed. Curious, he reached in and pulled out a handful of items.
Suddenly, a mechanical voice echoed in his mind.
"Would the host like to recycle thirty seafood buffet vouchers?"
"Upon successful recycling, the system will provide a random reward."
Berloff's eyes widened in shock.
Holy cow!
The dear system was back!
Hahaha...
Only a fool wouldn't take this deal!
This was basically the system handing him money!
He vaguely remembered that yesterday, after leaving the seafood buffet, he had grabbed a bunch of colorful coupons from the front desk.
He never expected that today, the system would notify Berloff Reed that he could recycle these coupons.
"System, confirm recycling!"
After issuing the command, the system immediately responded, "Congratulations, host, recycling successful!""Reward: One Global Tower in the center of Silk City!"
Boom!
Hearing this reward, Berloff was completely stunned.
Oh my goodness!
Global Tower was a famous landmark in Silk City, valued at over two hundred billion.
The first to seventh floors were shopping malls, the middle floors were office spaces, and the top few floors housed a six-star luxury hotel, with daily room rates in the thousands, affordable only to top-tier billionaires.Now, this money-making complex had become Berloff's prize!
What amazed Berloff the most was that the insurance company he worked for had its office in Global Tower.
As an insurance agent, Berloff had to check in at Global Tower every weekday.
Now, this low-level employee had suddenly become the landlord of his own insurance company.
Hehe, if Berloff Reed's boss and colleagues knew about this, they would probably be dumbfounded.
Just as Berloff was laughing joyfully, the doorbell rang.
He opened the door to find that the deliveryman had brought over all the transfer documents for the Global Tower.
As soon as Berloff signed his name, the entire Global Tower would officially become his property.
Berloff found a pen and happily signed his name on several transfer documents.
Once he was done, his phone suddenly rang.
"Hello, is this Mr. Berloff Reed?"
"This is Jonathan, the general manager responsible for operating the Global Tower."
"The Global Tower has now been officially acquired by you, Mr. Berloff. When would you be available to come over for an inspection? I need to arrange for staff to welcome our new boss and handle the handover procedures."
Berloff chuckled, "Today is Monday, and I happen to be free. I'll come over in a bit."
Jonathan nodded respectfully, "Alright, Mr. Berloff. I'll make the necessary arrangements."
"Please call me when you're close, and I'll be waiting for you in the lobby."Berloff nodded, "Sure, I'll call you when I'm on my way."
After ending the call, Jonathan looked at the information about Berloff Reed on his computer and was utterly puzzled.
According to the records, Berloff was just an ordinary young man from a remote town in the southwest.
The university Berloff Reed attended was fairly ordinary, especially in a first-tier city like Silk City.
Who would have thought that just a few years after graduation, Berloff would have the funds to acquire the famous landmark, the Global Tower, in Silk City?This was a commercial complex worth over 20 billion dollars!
Its annual revenue ranked in the top ten nationwide.
To Jonathan, a business elite, there were only two possibilities: either Berloff had stumbled upon an incredible stroke of luck and become an overnight millionaire, or he was a front for some top-tier mogul with immense backing.
Upon reflection, the latter seemed more plausible.
Therefore, Jonathan took Berloff's impending arrival very seriously.He quickly gathered his top executives for a meeting, instructing them to conduct a thorough cleanup of the entire Global Tower.
All staff were required to wear smiles and adopt a service attitude as if they were serving royalty.
Anyone who messed up at this critical moment would face Jonathan's wrath.
After the general manager's stern instructions, the entire Global Tower was mobilized.
Everyone was on edge, nervously awaiting the arrival of their new boss, Berloff Reed.An hour later, Berloff walked into the Global Tower, dressed in a high-end suit, exuding confidence and energy.
Just last Friday, Berloff was a low-level insurance agent barely scraping by.
By the end of the weekend, Berloff Reed had become the owner of the entire building where the insurance company was located.
It felt like just yesterday he was an unknown foot soldier, and now, two days later, he had become the supreme commander of the entire army.
It was truly a meteoric rise!The feeling was absolutely exhilarating!
Berloff walked in with a beaming smile, only to realize he had forgotten to call Jonathan ahead of time.
As a result, the new boss arrived at his own property, and no one recognized him or paid him any attention.
Just as he was about to take out his phone, he heard an angry voice nearby.
"Berloff Reed, how dare you show your face here!"
He turned to see Eliza, clinging to the arm of a greasy, overweight middle-aged man named Hudson, glaring at him with gritted teeth.
"Heh!" Berloff raised an eyebrow. "You two, already went out of town to buy a car, huh?"
"Oh, but out-of-town plates can't drive into Silk City, can they? Did you park outside the third ring road and take a taxi to work?"
At his words, Eliza's face twisted with rage, her eyes filled with venom.
Just the other day, Eliza and Hudson had insulted Berloff at the World Auto Dealership.
In response, the dealership's female president, Emily, had unceremoniously blacklisted them.Hudson and Eliza had scoured all of Silk City, but no dealership dared to sell them a new car.
Eliza could have been driving a BMW Z4, but she ended up with nothing.
Furious, she wished she could tear Berloff Reed to pieces.
If it weren't for Hudson promising to make her his personal secretary, she might have stormed into Berloff's apartment and set it on fire.
Thinking about this, Eliza lifted her chin proudly.
"A car? Big deal! Only a loser like you would obsess over it!"
"I'm about to switch jobs and become the secretary to the general manager of a trading company. I'll have plenty of luxury cars to enjoy in the future!"
Berloff glanced at Hudson, "Oh, I see!"
"Well, congratulations! As long as you keep kissing up to this bald guy, you'll live the high life."
"Heh, it's way better than those girls who have to entertain clients every day!"
Hudson's face turned ashen with rage. "You bastard, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"Do you believe I'll kill you right now?"
