The Arrogance System: I Become Richer Chapter 47 - Not following the script
By the end of the week, Adam had visited eleven of the thirteen properties Havenridge managed.He had spoken to tenants, owners, site managers, a groundskeeper, two maintenance workers, and one property lawyer who had been retained by an owner and showed up to a meeting unannounced, clearly expecting a confrontation.The confrontation didn't happen.Adam had sat down with the lawyer the same way he had sat down with everyone else.Asked questions.Listened to their issues.And left them with less certainty about what they had expected to find than when they arrived.It was a method that caught everyone he had done it to off guard.***On Sunday morning, Melissa appeared in his doorway.“The Aldren Street couple renewed their rent while Stacey Kim has requested a formal review meeting next week rather than proceeding with withdrawal." she said.Adam was reading through site notes from the day before.He nodded once without looking up."Rollo at Kettner flagged a plumbing issue on the f
The Arrogance System: I Become Richer Chapter 46 - Retention
The idea came to Adam on a Tuesday evening after he had just returned from classes to the Havenridge office.He was reviewing the client list again, the ones who had stayed, not the ones who had left, when something occurred to him.He knew the names of the clients who had withdrawn. He knew their reasons now, or at least the shape of their reasons.After all, he had spent the better part of two days thinking about them.On the other hand, Adam didn't know nearly as much about the ones who had stayed.That was a problem.What if the ones targeting him came back for the other half of his clients.Adam realized he had been lax and been reacting to things all the while.He closed the file.Then he pulled up the property list instead.*He didn't tell Melissa what he was doing until the next morning.She received the information with a slight surprise."You want to visit the properties personally?" she asked."Yes.""All of them?”"The active ones. Yes."She looked at him for a moment. "T
The Arrogance System: I Become Richer Chapter 45 - Following the Pressure
Unlike what he told his employees, Adam didn't have a good night's sleep.As a matter of fact, Adam didn't sleep at all.He had been preparing for the retaliation at one point but at the end of the day, it was his first business warfare.There was no way he would have been able to turn down his excitement and slight nervousness.And it was with those emotions that Adam made his way to Havenridge before his usual time.Standing at the entrance of the building about to enter was, unsurprisingly, Melissa.At this point, Adam had given up trying to figure out her schedule.“For someone who wasn't able to sleep, you sure do look happy.” she greeted Adam with those words.Pushing down his surprise at her knowledge, Adam tried to fix the smile on his face and failed.“You too huh?”“Nope. I slept like a baby. I've probably gotten rid of my eye bags with last night's sleep.” Melissa replied.Taking her first entrance for the day, into the office that promised to be busy, she continued: “You s
The Arrogance System: I Become Richer Chapter 44 - The Cost of Influence
Adam arrived at Havenridge twenty minutes after his call with Melissa had ended.The drive had been fast.He could have probably gotten there earlier at the speed he had been using, but the evening traffic slowed him down a lot.Melissa was already waiting when he entered the building.She looked exhausted.More importantly, she looked worried.Adam’s hope of the call being a false alarm immediately got thrown out the window."Show me."Without wasting time, Melissa led him towards a conference room by the side.Some of the available employees had already gathered.The atmosphere felt tense.Nobody was speaking.Adam took a seat.Melissa connected her laptop to the screen and a list appeared.It listed names. properties, and their respective contract values.Adam's eyes narrowed.Six clients.Not four.Six."When did the other two arrive?""A few minutes ago."It should be noted that when Adam had first acquired ownership of Havenridge, they managed only six properties.In the months
The Arrogance System: I Become Richer Chapter 43 - An Insignificant Problem
The Lacoste Tower stood at the center of Gray City's financial district.The building practically screamed money and power.It was the most eye catching building in the entire district. Especially when the setting sun reflected of it painting it a dull shade of red.On the forty-first floor, Kelvin Lacoste sat behind a seven hundred thousand dollars wooden desk he had won in an auction.A tablet rested in his hands.His expression grew darker with every page he read.Eventually, he tossed the tablet onto the desk."What a joke."The young man standing nearby remained silent.If Adam was here, he would have recognized the young man to be Jasper—the person who had started the entire beef with the Lacoste family.He had worked for Kelvin Lacoste long enough to recognize when speaking was dangerous.Unfortunately for him, Kelvin decided to speak anyway."Tell me something.""Yes, Mr. Lacoste.""How does a nobody buy Havenridge?"He hesitated."He may have gotten people to give him money."
The Arrogance System: I Become Richer Chapter 42 - Taking Control
One of the demerits of Titan Maintenance being larger than Havenridge, Adam realized, was that the paperwork involved was significantly larger than he was used to.And as the new owner, he couldn't delegate the work to Melissa.When it was finally complete, Titan Maintenance Solutions officially belonged to him.The thought still felt strange.He now owned two companies.***Adam arrived at Titan shortly after nine in the morning.The atmosphere inside the building felt different from his previous visit.Employees who had once viewed him as an outsider now greeted him politely.There was a mix of curiosity and nervousness whenever they looked at him. Thankfully, unlike how it was at Havenridge they didn't look at him with distrust or defiance so he didn't need to put the employees in their place.Adam couldn't blame them though.Whenever ownership changed, employees were usually the first victims.Layoffs.Budget cuts.Department closures.The corporate world had countless ways to rui
