"Your Willy Pharmaceuticals has been getting global attention these past couple of days! You've already started signing import-export agreements, right? Plus, you've begun point-to-point distribution to hospitals, correct?" Tian remarked, clearly impressed."Bro, have you been investigating me?" Willy felt a bit of sweat on his forehead. He had just finished securing deals with several major countries, but how had the Brown Family caught wind of it already?"I’m not investigating you. Any smart businessman would figure that out on their own! I’m just saying, this virus outbreak could be an opportunity for you to develop a new drug. That’s what I meant by an opportunity.""I understand, Tian. Alright, I’ve got to go. Violet and I are about to eat. Catch you later!" Willy felt uneasy, sensing that Tian seemed to be keeping close tabs on him, even though his intentions were just to help."So, what did my brother say?" Violet asked, cu
"What business is Mr. Chopin's family involved in?" Willy asked, smoothly transitioning into a business conversation."My family's e-commerce business spans globally. We also own Bank of Baihui and Baihui Insurance. In addition, we have numerous financial investment and service companies. Combined, all our businesses generate annual profits exceeding 150 billion. What line of work are you in, Mr. Morgan?" Roman responded confidently."Mr. Chopin's family business is quite impressive! That's amazing!" Willy complimented without directly answering the question."Well, it’s how we maintain our position as the top family in Washington," Roman boasted."Right, well, Aunt Paisley, I've safely brought Violet back. Tomorrow, I'll have my driver pick her up for work. You can rest assured that everything will be taken care of at my place. If there's nothing else, I'll head out now," Willy said, politely taking his leave."Alright, Willy.
“The Robinson Family and the Brown Family can each get an additional 10,000 chips per month. That guy upstairs will get 200,000 chips starting next month. Let’s ensure these three are well-supplied first; the rest can wait,” Willy instructed calmly.“Yes, young master,” Logan replied.“How about the pharmaceutical company?” Willy asked.“Young master, Willy Pharma has received over 100,000 global orders, requiring us to produce at least 10 million doses. It’s a huge number! But once production is done, the higher-ups will take them for distribution worldwide. This will cut into our profits,” Logan explained with concern.“Logan, no worries. That’s part of my deal with him. With something this big, do you really think it could be left unsupervised? I handle the production; he handles the distribution. It’s a win-win. And my pricing is already high enough. He won’t mark it u
"Don’t worry, boss! I understand. Ms. Brown is practically the boss lady. We’ll make sure to be respectful!" Logan assured Willy confidently."Alright, I’ll get going. Violet, you stick with Logan today. If you need anything, just call me or come up to the 66th floor.""Got it, Willy! Now go get busy!" Violet playfully stuck out her tongue, acting cute. Willy felt an urge to kiss her, but with so many employees around, and knowing how shy Violet was, he decided against it."Alright, I’m off. Let’s have lunch together.""Sure!"Violet watched as Willy entered the elevator. Logan turned to her and said, "Ms. Brown, today we’re expecting twelve small and medium-sized enterprises from New York and surrounding areas to discuss potential partnerships. Why don’t you join me and observe?""Sure, thanks for the opportunity, Logan!""No need to thank me, Ms. Brown! Please, follow me; I&rsq
"It’s not him! It’s Roman! I’m furious and frustrated—and I feel like I let Willy down!" Violet vented over the phone."Let Willy down? Sis, you didn’t fall for some other guy, did you?" Tian teased."Shut up! No, I told Willy’s team that I wanted to try handling a project on my own, and they agreed. But guess what? Roman sabotaged every single one of my projects, both in the morning and afternoon!" Violet exclaimed, her voice tinged with frustration."Roman? He’s openly competing with Willy now?""Exactly! I was so close to closing deals, but right before the final signatures, the project leaders received calls from The Chopin Family’s representatives in New York, and they backed out! Now, I feel like a complete failure, and I hate Roman for it. This was my first real day of handling business on my own, and I’m already questioning my abilities!""Did you tell Willy about this?" Tian asked."No, I’m too embarrassed.""Sis, do you really think Willy hasn’t figured it out?""You mean he
Willy stared at the photo for a long time, lost in thought, until Eleanor Rodriguez gently reminded him, “Sir, your food is getting cold.”"Yeah, I’ll eat," Willy mumbled, realizing his eyes were misty. The man in the photo might be his biological father, but Willy’s heart was torn. He longed to find his parents, yet he also deeply resented them."Eleanor, what’s the current status of the Morgan family?""Sir, things are a bit complicated in Washington. Brooks, the head of the family, controls all the family’s business assets, with his two daughters as the primary heirs. Mateo, one of Brooks' brothers, only earns his living by working for the family, while Caleb doesn’t seem to be involved with the family business at all.""This Caleb... looks almost identical to me. Does he have any children?""Yes, he has a daughter, just starting college.""The Morgan family is this vast, and there are no male heirs?""That’s correct, sir.""Hmm... I wonder who will inherit all that in the future.
"Willy, I have another project on hand. Want to join me on it?" Willy asked, referring to the magnetic levitation transportation project given by the system."My dear, I heard my brother mention something about the current economic downturn, and that everyone is consolidating their assets. Why are you suddenly starting a new project?" Violet asked, puzzled."I'm very optimistic about it, incredibly optimistic!""What kind of project is it?""It's a new form of transportation, kind of like renewable energy, but not like what we have now.""So, what is it?""Just the latest, most cutting-edge stuff!" Willy chuckled."…"In the afternoon, Willy gathered Mia Morgan and Liam Morgan, instructing them to temporarily set aside their current work. He handed over the new magnetic levitation technology documents from the system to Mia."Mia, I’m giving you this new technology and an additional 40 billion dollars. You a
Roman lay quietly on the hospital bed, one leg in a cast after undergoing surgery. He was asleep, unaware of the visitors gathering around him.Paisley, sitting next to him, wore an exaggerated expression of concern, which made Tian roll his eyes in disbelief."Mom, tone it down a little. You're overdoing it," Tian whispered, trying to control his laughter."What are you talking about? I watched Roman grow up. Now that something like this has happened to him, how could I not feel heartbroken?" Paisley said, trying to feign tears but accidentally letting out a chuckle."Mom, you even laughed out loud!" Tian teased."Ugh, stop it! Your sister will be here any minute, and Everly Chopin is on her way too. When Everly arrives, make sure to behave. My son must never fall short compared to anyone else!""Mom, he's lying in bed. What do you expect me to compete with him on?" Tian responded, still slightly amused.Just as Tia
“I didn’t know that! I thought you were just teasing me!” Willy replied honestly. He had assumed that Rose developed some feelings for him because he saved her, and that she just liked to joke around with him.“You didn’t know? Can’t you feel it?” Rose felt like Willy was pretending not to notice.“What am I supposed to feel? All I feel is you teasing me all the time! Rose, you’re being weird. I’m already married. What are you doing?” Willy frowned, trying to make sense of the situation.“I don’t know… maybe I just can’t accept it?” Rose admitted.“Wait, hold on. You’re not liking me just because I saved you, are you? If that’s the case, next time I’
“Instructor, what exactly do you do? The last time we went to your place, it felt like we were walking into a palace. We were all shocked. We thought you were the top mercenary hiding behind a major mercenary organization!” Dream Guangze and Liang, both newly promoted mercenaries, asked with curiosity.“Yeah, what’s the deal, Instructor?” someone else chimed in.“Haven’t Black Wolf and the others told you about me yet?” Willy asked, raising an eyebrow.“No! And Naomi’s left too! But I heard Naomi went to your place!” Josiah responded, eyes widening.“Damn it, Josiah! Did I just learn something I shouldn’t have?” Dream Guangze, Liang, and the others all looked intrigued. They all knew Jo
"That’s great! The card’s been set up, right? How’s the baby’s heartbeat? Sweetie, listen to your mom! When a woman is pregnant, she really has to be careful. No cold drafts, and especially no cold water! When you went to the beach, how was the water temperature?""Mom, Willy's really careful. The sea water is warm, and the pool under our castle is heated like a hot spring! So, I’m fine!" Violet reassured her."Ah, well, still be cautious. Listen to me, I’ve told you this before—watch what you eat! Before..." Paisley continued, her voice full of concern.Meanwhile, Willy had been chatting with Owen and Tian in the living room for over an hour, but Violet and Paisley hadn't come downstairs yet. Owen glanced at the time, realizing it was getting late, and decided to go upstairs to find them."My dear, what are you and our daughter doing? It’s getting late; Violet needs to head home soon, right?" Owen asked.
"Yes, boss! I'll hang up now!"As soon as Willy ended the call, he realized that since he had decided to attend the upcoming Research Contribution Awards ceremony, he would need to prepare properly. He was determined to put on a show, making everyone believe his outlandish words."Darling, are you busy with work?" Violet asked, concerned."Not really, just some things to take care of at the end of the month. I’ll be away for a couple of days.""Where are you going?""To Australia. I’ll be going with my boss, and he’s bringing all the top mercenaries with him. Looks like it’ll be a lively trip!" Willy explained."Darling, it’s already the 20th. Shouldn’t we head back now?"Hearing Violet’s words, Willy immediately sat up and looked at her. "What’s wrong, baby? Are you upset about my business trip?""It’s not that. I just want to check on the company. I’ve been kee
"But darling, you're still amazing!" Violet said, clearly impressed."Alright, let's go! If you go through this dense forest, you’ll find my castle. This island is Wonder Island," Willy replied with a smile."Darling, carry me down! Heehee," Violet teased.Seeing Violet acting cute, Willy walked over to the other side of the flying vehicle, picked her up effortlessly, then grabbed their luggage with one hand while holding Violet’s hand with the other, pointing towards the distance. "Sweetheart, look over there!""Wow, it’s so beautiful!!" Violet couldn’t contain her excitement as she saw the luxurious castle in the distance and immediately rushed towards it.Willy casually stored the flying vehicle in his system space and sent a message to Elijah to let him know they had arrived, then quietly followed Violet."Darling, slow down! You’re pregnant! How can you run so fast?" Willy called out as he jogged after her.
"2.5 billion? That's really not much. Let’s settle on that. Get all the materials ready, and tomorrow I’ll send my lawyer and my secretary, Ethan, to your company to handle the paperwork. You have until the end of this month. By then, you need to make sure all the assets of your companies are transferred to Ethan," Willy said, making his decision."Rest assured, Willy! I’ll get everything ready," Mason quickly replied."How much debt does your company have?""Willy, the only debt left is from the tourism business. We owe 800 million to the bank, but I’ll settle it. Don’t worry about that! The problem is, the profits from these companies aren't looking good right now. If you take over and start losing money, then…" Mason hesitated, unsure of how Willy would react."It’s not your problem anymore, is that what you mean? Don’t worry. Once I take over, it’s my responsibility. I’ll handle the operatio
“Alright, then thank you!” Willy said."Stop playing coy, Willy. Just wait for my update. By the way, the chips are enough now, you can continue supplying The Robinson Family and The Brown Family. I’ve come to realize that these so-called big families—anyone on your good side rises, and those on your bad side get crushed," the caller said with a knowing tone."Boss, you can’t put it like that. I’ve always been honest. If they don’t bully me, I won’t fight back! Just look at all these big families, which one didn’t start by bullying me before I took them down?" Willy responded with a laugh."Willy, how you handle them is your business, but I hope you don’t destroy the economic balance. Things are already tough, and if all these rich businessmen go bankrupt, a lot of people will lose their jobs. That’s not good for me. If you understand what I mean, you’ll know what to do. No favoritism—
The day after the wedding, Willy took Violet and his parents to visit the newly purchased property at 77 Central Park West. As they stood in front of the building, Caleb and Penelope looked up at the towering structure, stealing glances at Violet."Son, is this the house you bought for us?" Caleb asked."Yeah, Dad, take a look and see which one you prefer—this place or the top-tier mansion we're living in now. Violet, which one do you like better?" Willy asked, turning to his wife."You guys decide. It doesn’t matter to me," Violet replied casually. She didn’t mind either option; both the luxury mansion they lived in now and the new place at 77 Central Park West were great.Caleb thought for a moment. "Son, I think I prefer our current place. This 12th-floor apartment makes me worry about power outages, and it’s too big. What if burglars get in? Your mother and I would be scared!""You don’t worry about the secur
As Violet stepped off the flying vehicle, every step she took was met with bursts of ribbons and fireworks. The sounds of cheers and blessings surrounded her, and Violet couldn’t help but feel like the happiest woman in the world.Finally, they reached the grand hall.The couple stood by the stage, waiting. By now, all their friends and family had taken their seats. Willy glanced around."Wow, what a huge hall!" he thought. The venue could easily accommodate over a hundred tables, and it was almost full! The crowd was enormous, and Willy realized he didn’t know most of them. Who were these people?At 11:28 AM, the ceremony officially began!Under the host's guidance, Willy completed the various segments of the ceremony. The host announced the couple would change outfits, and the kitchen staff began serving the food. Meanwhile, the stage stayed lively with Logan’s arranged celebrity performances, which caught everyone’s atten
