2024-11-01 09:00:55The ZBC Orphanage in Los Angeles was still the same old three-story building, weathered and worn. Inside, it was structured like a large classroom. The orphanage now housed around sixty to seventy children, ranging in age from a few months to late teens. Willy and his group pulled up at the orphanage’s gate in their cars, and as he stepped out, a rush of memories flooded back. The rusty iron gate, the two lush trees that stood proudly in the yard, and the worn-out swing set, merry-go-round, and stone tables—all places where he’d spent countless hours as a child.
On the second floor, there was a room with a bed that Willy had slept in throughout his childhood. This place held so many traces of him, like an imprint of his past.
“Why are there so many cars? And such fancy ones, too!” A woman in her fifties or sixties stepped out of the orphanage, squinting at the vehicles in confusion.
“Piper!” Willy shouted, his voice trembling with emotion. Those tw

When Willy returned to the room, he found Piper chatting with Penelope, recalling Willy's childhood misadventures and bringing a blush to his face.“Oh, Piper, those stories are so embarrassing. Let’s not bring those up!”“Willy, if Piper hadn’t told me, I would have never known just how mischievous you were!” Penelope laughed.“Piper, my parents brought some things for the kids—everything here is for them. Also, I’ve already set up the arrangements for the renovations. Soon, people will come to begin remodeling the orphanage here in Los Angeles. Don’t worry; you and the children will be relocated to a safe and comfortable place during the work. You won’t have to lift a finger. My legal team will handle everything!”“Understood, young master!” the two legal advisors confirmed in unison.“Legal advisors? Willy, how much are you spending on this? It’s too

“Haha, I never would’ve guessed that the big boss of the ‘Willy Group’ was such an amazing singer! You even have rich fans offering to sponsor you!” Violet teased.“Violet! Where did you see that?”“My brother sent me a video of you holding a mic and singing last night. Didn’t you tell me you were just going out for a little stroll?”Willy couldn’t tell if Violet was amused or a bit annoyed, seeing that he’d gone out without telling her.“Well, I just felt in an unusually good mood, like something lucky might happen! So, I took a walk, bought a scratch-off ticket and won $10,000, then found a wallet with $5,000 in cash. Want it all?”“Why are you giving it to me? It’s your luck, not mine. Go claim your prize and spend it yourself!” she replied with a laugh.“If you don’t want it, fine! By the way, I haven’t heard you mentio

After finishing his performance, Willy received a round of enthusiastic applause, even being handed a bouquet of flowers, which he brought to Violet.“Beautiful lady, this bouquet is for you,” he said with a grin, extending the flowers to her.Violet was just about to shyly reach for them when a voice cut in.“Hey! Kid, let me tell you something! Violet already has a boyfriend, okay? Just because you’re a bar singer doesn’t mean you can flirt with my best friend!”“Uh...what?” Willy froze, not quite sure how to respond.“Oh, Peyton!” Violet exclaimed. “He *is* my boyfriend! I asked him to go on stage and sing for me, so please sit down! And keep your voice down; everyone is staring at us.”“What?” Now Peyton looked embarrassed.“Excuse me, miss, shall we serve the food now?” The server’s timely arrival eased the awkward moment.

“The boss is on a tight schedule,” the HR director announced. “So shortly, I’ll be taking all of you into the conference room for a group interview. Besides the boss, our HR reps, and a few professionals from the research division will be asking you a few targeted questions. Any questions?”Everyone responded with a quick “No.”“Alright then, please follow me.”Taking a deep breath, Peyton joined the group and filed into the spacious conference room.Willy was already seated at the center of the table. He noticed Peyton at the back of the group, head down, looking tense.“Alright, take any seat you like and relax,” Willy said warmly.Hearing his voice, Peyton felt a strange sense of familiarity. She slid into a chair in the second row, trying to sit as far from the front as possible.“We’ll start with introductions,” Willy continued, “and everyone, keep it to two minutes.”“Hello, everyone, I’m Markino,” the first c

Come up to the 45th floor. We’ll be waiting for you!”“Fine! Just you wait—I’m coming for you!” Peyton muttered furiously, hitting the elevator button repeatedly, flustered and excited all at once.“Miss, if you keep pressing it, the elevator’s going to break,” came a calm voice behind her.“Oh!

She glanced up at the man beside her—a composed, well-dressed figure with an elegant voice and bearing.Logan glanced curiously at the girl next to him, assuming she was here for an interview without a company badge.

I want to check on your father and see if there’s anything I can help with!”The three left the hot pot restaurant in a rush, and their driver sped them toward the Brown family estate. On the way, Willy arranged for his pharmaceutical company to deliver medicine to the Browns and instructed Tian to prepare enough doses for all employees at the company headquarters. Willy also asked Tian to coordinate an evening injection for the entire building and ensure full disinfection. With everything set, they arrived at the Brown estate.Violet, Tian, and their mother, Paisley, were devastated as they

**Chapter Taking a quick bathroom break, Willy locked the door and entered his system space to explore the new environmental technologies he’d unlocked. He opened the file labeled “Environmental Technology Suite,” and the first item on the list was a *complete air-reconstruction system*! This was followed by a water recycling system, waste decomposition technology, and, finally, a “Miracle Seed Program.” Willy couldn’t help but feel a bit skeptical at first—modern technology had already made strides in these areas. Could the system’s inventions really be that different?Diving into the data, Willy realized just how revolutionary these technologies were. The *air-reconstruction system* was a powerful machine that could purify polluted air, water, or even use wind energy to produce clean nitrogen, oxygen, and other atmospheric gases. Plus, it came with a one-button “rain generation” function—truly groundbreaking!

After hearing about Willy’s plans, Betty was very excited. At this point, both the Electric King and the little prince’s family were eager to meet Willy as he entered the venue. They were thrilled, expressing their gratitude while simultaneously completing the transaction for the fruit that the little prince had bought—since the Electric King’s transaction had already been processed the day before, it was just a matter of finalizing the payment for the fruit that restored youth.The auction continued in the morning with items from various countries. Some were technological, some were national treasures, and there were also many top-tier brands and artworks.During the lunch break, Willy went to the official staff to discuss adding more fruits to the auction."My God, Mr. Morgan, you really decided to add more!""Yeah, what's the matter?""Since this morning, at least seven or eight people have asked if you are planning to add more

425: The Auction of the Fruits
Willy's introduction caused a stir in the crowd. While many were skeptical of the fruit that supposedly restored youth, they didn't doubt the fruit that could boost male vitality as much."Heh, I know you might not believe in the youth-restoring fruit from our company," Willy said with a chuckle. "So, I’ve made a decision. Whoever bids for this fruit today can take it home without paying upfront. After you consume it tonight, come back tomorrow and we’ll all see the results. If it works, you can pay then!"The crowd found Willy's offer reasonable, and the bidding began."Next up, please give your bids for the first item!" the host announced."Let’s start with this natural, self-illuminating deep-sea diamond. There may only be one like it in the world! Starting price: 200 million dollars!""300 million!""500 million!"Before Willy could finish speaking, the crowd began bidding. On one hand, they were showing respect
424: The First Auction
"No way! Mine are just superficial things! It’s nothing compared to the wealth accumulated by your great families!" Willy downplayed it.But deep inside, he was absolutely confident. The wealth these four families had accumulated was no match for his own. From his patents to his investments and the market value of the companies he had acquired, nothing compared to what he had built. They were certainly wealthy, but for someone like Willy, whose wealth was enough to rival entire countries, money was no longer a measure of success. Fortunately, Willy remained humble and kept a low profile. Even his past treasures were kept private. The extraterrestrial diamonds and gold he had acquired had simply been quietly broken up and filtered into the market without fanfare.As Willy and Abigail entered the auction hall alongside the members of the four families, all eyes were on them. Many businessmen and representatives from large commercial associations, who had never seen

The staff entered Willy’s items into the computer system and then proceeded with the evaluation process.By evening, all the evaluators had been unable to assess Willy’s items. Aside from the pearl, no one knew what the other items were. The dragon horn, the reptilian fruits, and even the glowing deep-sea gemstones were impossible to price. In the end, they had no choice but to leave the final determination of their value to Willy.After dinner, Willy was in his room playing video games when a staff member knocked on his door."Mr. Morgan, I apologize, but the evaluation team really couldn’t figure out what the items you submitted for tomorrow’s auction are. So, we’ve decided to auction them off early tomorrow, but you’ll need to personally introduce your items. Is that okay?""And what about the prices?" Willy asked."Mr. Morgan, we trust your integrity. You can set the prices for your items however you wish, an

When Willy and Abigail found Adrian, he had just finished checking into the hotel."Mr. Morgan, didn’t you say you had work to handle today? Didn’t expect to see you so soon! And who is this?" "This is Abigail, my sister!" "Hello, Adrian!" Abigail greeted him first, knowing who he was. "Hello, hello!" "Adrian, Big Shot gave you permission for this trip. How much did he allocate for you?" "Mr. Morgan, Big Shot has given me full authority for this. He gave me a card, but I don’t know exactly how much is on it. From what Big Shot said, it should be enough to purchase everything at the auction, but I wouldn’t dare to do that, haha. Big Shot gave me a list in advance of the items we need to bid on. Would you like to see it?" Adrian pulled out a carefully printed booklet from his bag, and the items Big Shot wanted to buy were marked in it. Willy flipped through it, and there were indee

"Willy, what’s going on?" "Abigail, I can’t tolerate employees who sleep on the job. After knowing that it was the headquarters checking the accounts, this person still acted arrogantly. I won’t give them any chances. I’ll have either Logan or Liam handle this matter. Listen up!" Willy immediately called Liam. "Boss!" "Liam, since the person in charge at Water Blue Island was replaced, the new person sent over problematic accounts. I called to inquire, and this person was sleeping. I called three times before they finally answered, and when they picked up, they were just throwing a tantrum. Take some lawyers with you and investigate the account issues. If there’s even a penny of error, I want Yates to be sued!" "Understood, boss! What’s the issue with the accounts?"

"Hi, this is Abigail, from Willy’s office." "Who? What 'gail'?" The person in charge of Willy Gold, part of Willy's group, didn’t recognize Abigail’s name, but hearing the mention of Willy’s office line gave her a clue. "I’m Abigail, calling from the headquarters. I wanted to speak with you about the report you submitted. There are two major errors in it that the head office wants to discuss with you." "Wait, you’re saying there are errors in my report?" "Yes, are you at your computer? Please open up the report and check the data on page 28, specifically the special profits. The decimal point is in the wrong place, which has resulted in Willy Gold’s profits being off by a factor of ten. C
