The Arrogance System: I Become Richer Chapter 20 – Tenant Crisis
Adam was halfway through his review of Havenridge’s updated financial reports when Melissa suddenly pushed open the office door; her expression dark.He didn't need to ask to know something was wrong “There’s a problem.”Adam placed the document down on the slightly arranged desk, “what kind of problem?”“Riverside Heights.”Adam frowned slightly.Out of the six properties managed by Havenridge, Riverside Heights was one of the larger residential buildings.While it wasn't luxurious, it was one of the most stable ones… Or at least it was supposed to be.“What happened?”“A pipe burst on the sixth floor last night,” Melissa replied while walking closer. “Water spread into three apartments before maintenance shut it down.”“That doesn’t sound as bad as you're making it look.”“It would’ve been manageable if the previous supervisor actually fixed the earlier complaints.”Adam immediately understood.The issue wasn’t the burst itself but how the company’s negligence turned it into a cris
The Arrogance System: I Become Richer Chapter 19 – Report
From the upper floors of the Lacoste building, most of the city could be seen clearly at night. Roads filled with moving headlights stretched endlessly into the distance while towers belonging to other corporations stood tall like silent giants watching over the city.Kelvin Lacoste paid none of it any attention.He sat behind his desk while flipping through a document slowly.The office itself was spacious and looked every bit excessive. A shelf lined one side of the wall with certificates and awards while another side remained entirely glass from top to bottom.Obviously expensive rugs, chairs and tables made from the finest wood were placed at organized areas giving the office an air of luxury.Jerome stood several steps away from the desk.“You're telling me Havenridge is stabilizing?”His voice wasn’t loud. If anything, it sounded uninterested in the matter.But Jerome knew better than to mistake that for harmlessness.“Yes.”Kelvin finally looked up from the report.“That quickl

“Fuck!”With a smile on his face, Adam asked even though he already knew why.“Is anything wrong? Why the cuss?”“Is anything wrong?” Melissa turned to glare at him before gnashing her teeth together. “Nothing is wrong, boss. Just that your company is a dump. I'm already considering resigning from the job.”“Haha! If this company blows up, you'll get a fat paycheck. I promise.”“That paycheck better be very very fat.”The pair stood near the center of Havenridge’s office while Melissa slowly looked around the place like someone inspecting a crime scene.Which, to be fair, wasn't far from reality.The receptionist quickly straightened after noticing Melissa’s gaze sweep across her desk.Melissa walked toward it.“Where are the tenant complaint logs?”The receptionist blinked, “...the what?”Melissa slowly turned toward Adam.Adam looked away in embarrassment while trying to hold back his laughter.“You don't keep complaint records?” Melissa asked again.“We do,” the receptionist hurrie

Adam blinked once at the abrupt and sudden refusal. It wasn't that he was a hundred percent certain Melissa would accept his offer, but she didn't even consider it.“That was awfully quick.”“I know.”“You didn’t even bother to consider the offer.”“I did.”“And?”“And I concluded that taking you up on your offer would become stressful very quickly.”Adam almost laughed.“That’s your reason? It's not possible.”“It’s one of them.”The waiter returned with their drinks and left shortly afterward.Melissa picked hers up first.“You bought a company you don’t fully understand,” she said before taking a sip. “That alone tells me this situation is going to become complicated.”“It’s not that complicated.”“You’re being targeted by the Lacoste family.”“That part is slightly complicated.”Melissa stared at him for a moment.“Slightly complicated? For someone with no background you are very casual after making enemies with people powerful enough to erase most businesses quietly.”“They haven

By the second day of ownership, Adam clearly understood something about his recently acquired business.Havenridge was worse than the reports had suggested.The problems weren’t individually catastrophic, but together they created a slow bleeding effect that had nearly strangled the company.Maintenance requests were delayed because approval chains were inefficient.Tenants ignored payment deadlines because nobody enforced penalties consistently.One building had a leaking pipe issue that had apparently existed for almost three months because two supervisors kept shifting responsibility to each other.Even worse, half the records of the company were poorly organized.Adam sat inside Kareem’s office while reviewing another stack of documents.“This company surviving this long is honestly impressive,” he muttered.Kareem gave a tired laugh from across the desk.“You’re beginning to understand my suffering.”Adam closed the file.“No,” he corrected calmly. “I’m beginning to understand yo
The Arrogance System: I Become Richer Chapter 16 – New Management
The acquisition process for the shares of Havenridge property management took four days.Long enough for Adam to realize that buying into a business was far more annoying than he initially expected.Contracts.Lawyers.Endless signatures.There were meetings where people spoke for nearly thirty minutes without actually saying anything useful. Discussions about liability, transitional structure, operational authority and financial disclosures.By the third day, Adam already understood why rich people preferred making others handle these things for them.Still, the process eventually came to an end.Six hundred thousand dollars for seventy percent ownership of Havenridge Property Management.Another hundred thousand reserved for restructuring and operational costs.The remaining balance in Adam’s account had massively dropped, and his wallet was lighter than he had become used to in the past few weeks but strangely enough, Adam didn't feel nervous.Instead, he felt anticipation.Because
