2024-08-25 00:32:39“Right this way, sir,” the Gucci sales associate said, leading Willy Morgan to the men’s section after noticing the Ferrari key in his hand. The associate assumed Willy might be a lesser-known celebrity and quickly guided him through the store for a shopping spree.
Outside, Mr. Banana and Mr. Apple, the livestreamers, waited patiently with their phones pointed at the Gucci store entrance.
Meanwhile, the livestream chat was buzzing with speculation:
“Maybe he really is the car owner after all. He’s been inside for a while, probably shopping! This is Gucci, one of the top six luxury brands! Who could afford that without serious cash?”
“I’m not convinced. Some people just like to window-shop luxury stores even if they’re broke.”
“Are you talking about yourself?”
“Mind your own business!”
“It’s simple, just wait until he comes out. Mr. Apple, keep the livestream going and go inside to ask him. Mr. Banana, keep following him.”
“This feels like a detective game, but isn’t this a bit unethical?”
“Don’t you want to know? A guy dressed in rags driving a million-dollar car?”
“I’m curious, but still…”
After about twenty minutes, Willy Morgan walked out of the Gucci store, now dressed in brand-new Gucci clothes, looking completely transformed. His appearance was striking, catching the eyes of several passing women.
“It’s true—clothes make the man! If I were wearing that, I’d look better than him!” said someone in the chat, clearly envious.
“Mr. Apple, he’s coming out! Go ask him!”
Willy noticed Mr. Apple and Mr. Banana outside the store, getting the distinct feeling that he was being followed. He quickly turned and left, prompting Mr. Apple to slip into the store.
“Hello, sir. May I help you? And your phone?” The Gucci sales associate who had served Willy earlier was immediately on guard.
“Uh, we’re doing a show, and that person was one of our platform’s featured celebrities. Can you tell us how much he spent here?”
“That customer bought around a dozen outfits and accessories, totaling $685,000! He’s a big spender! Do you have more celebrities like him? We’d love to have them shop here too! And…”
Before the associate could finish, Mr. Apple turned and left. The livestream chat had already exploded with comments clearing up Willy’s situation.
“See? The guy’s loaded! He just dropped $700,000 on clothes like it was nothing! That’s enough to buy a house!”
“Man, the gap between people is insane. I’m only making $4,000 a month!”
“You’re doing fine at $4,000 a month! I’m only pulling in $2,800.”
“Mr. Apple! Where did the rich guy go? Keep following him!” urged the chat. Under pressure, Mr. Apple and Mr. Banana continued to secretly tail Willy Morgan.
Willy spent some time buying daily essentials and skincare products, items he was quite familiar with. Back when he was trying to keep Olivia happy, he’d done a lot of research on high-end brands—not on the ingredients, but on the prices. Olivia would often talk about how certain classmates had bought expensive La Mer or Helena Rubinstein products. Willy, recalling those times, bought everything he had learned about, not caring if it was meant for men or women. If women could use it, so could he.
“Sir, this La Mer 21-day renewal serum and these other items total $24,211.”
“No problem.”
“Sir, this Helena Rubinstein set comes to $9,728.”
“I’ll pay with LINE Pay.”
“Sir, the La Prairie serums and rejuvenation creams together total $49,885.”
“Just scan me.”
After a whirlwind of transactions, Willy was exhausted. He checked his phone—only twenty minutes had passed! He suddenly gained a new level of respect for those who could shop all day.
“Hello, sir. Are you interested in checking out some real estate? We have the best properties in Los Angeles—Silver Lake Enclave!” A real estate agent, noticing Willy dressed in Gucci and carrying multiple high-end skincare products, decided to pitch to him.
“Absolutely! I’ve been meaning to look for a new place,” Willy said. Ever since he’d won the lottery, he’d been thinking about upgrading his living situation. Whether or not he stayed in Los Angeles long-term, a new house was definitely in order.
“Please have a seat, sir. I’m an agent with Silver Lake Enclave. You can call me Mr. Zheng. Let me give you a brief overview of our properties.”
“Sure, go ahead. What are the prices and sizes?”
“Silver Lake Enclave is located on Financial Street in the economic district of Los Angeles. It’s surrounded by three top hospitals and two national-level key schools, along with three…”
“Stop! I don’t care about all that. I just want to know when I can move in if I buy it now. Do you have any models or sample rooms I can see?”
“Yes, of course! Silver Lake Enclave is fully furnished with top-of-the-line interiors. Our refrigerators are German-made Gaggenau, our washing machines are…”
“You’re off-topic again! I don’t need to know the brand of every appliance. If I don’t like something, I can replace it. What are the prices, sizes, and available floors?”
“Ah! My apologies, sir! Silver Lake Enclave features large, single-floor units with one unit per floor. The tallest building has 28 floors, meaning only 28 owners per building. The best floors are between the 21st and 23rd floors, with each floor offering 1,108 square meters. Because we’re holding an event at the Universal Shopping Center, you can purchase the best floors today at a promotional price of $120,000 per square meter.”
“So, each unit costs around $13-14 million?”
“Yes, sir! And if you buy today, we’ll cover your property fees for two years and provide additional services!”
“What other floors are available?”
“Sir, since today is the first day of our event, the units in the building, including the king unit at Silver Lake Enclave, haven’t been sold yet.”
“Perfect. My lucky number is 23. I’ll take the 23rd floor. Go ahead and prepare the contract. Let’s get this done, and I’d like to move in as soon as possible.”
“Yes, sir! The 23rd floor is the best choice! If you’re concerned about the price, we have lower floors available too… Wait, what? Prepare the contract?” Mr. Zheng was stunned. Was buying a house really this straightforward?
“Yes, get on with it. I’m short on time. Oh, and if there’s a garage, make sure it’s close to my unit.”
“Of course, sir! I’ll take care of it immediately!” Mr. Zheng couldn’t believe his luck. He had been selling houses in Los Angeles for five or six years and had never met a client like Willy—a buyer who dropped over $10 million on a home as if it were nothing!
Meanwhile, Mr. Apple and Mr. Banana noticed that Willy hadn’t left the real estate booth for a while, suspecting he might be looking at property.

The livestream chat buzzed with speculation and curiosity as Willy Morgan continued to make substantial purchases.“Streamers, no doubt about it—this guy’s the real deal. Dropping tens of thousands on clothes and skincare products like it’s nothing. It makes perfect sense that he’s checking out the best property in Los Angeles, Silver Lake Enclave.”“Clearly, you don’t know the prices at Silver Lake Enclave. The cheapest units there start at over $9,000 per square meter, and every apartment is over 1,000 square meters. That means even the lowest-priced units cost nearly $10 million! Los Angeles isn’t the capital, and it’s not some major financial hub. It’s just a second-tier city!”“I don’t buy it. He’s probably just tired and decided to rest in the sales office.”Mr. Apple and Mr. Banana were also engrossed in the discussion, eagerly participating in the livestream chat as they speculated about Willy’s next move.Meanwhile, Willy Morgan appeared to be resting with his eyes closed in

"The system is truly out of this world! With a photographic memory, learning new things will be a breeze! System, I'm ready to activate the Prediction button!"Willy Morgan was even more excited about the Prediction function than the Blessing one. The reason was simple—Predictions could bring the most direct financial benefits!"System initializing the Prediction button. Please wait... Prediction is about to refresh.""Ding! The system predicts that on April 4, 2034, the old residential areas of Tianwen Community on Cultural Road, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Streets in the Los Angeles Education District will undergo demolition! Host, seize this opportunity!"As soon as Willy heard the prediction, he quickly noted down the details on his phone and looked up the area on Google Maps. He discovered that the community was a large, nearly 40-year-old area that had long been deserted.Willy didn’t know much about real estate and land acquisitions, but he knew someone who did—his employees. He remember

Over the weekend, Willy Morgan drove back to his old, run-down apartment, packed his belongings, and officially moved out. Standing in his now-empty room, Willy felt a wave of nostalgia. This place held so many memories—from moving out of the orphanage to working through his college years. Despite its shabby state, it had been home. Unable to completely let go, Willy spent $100,000 to buy the small unit so he could return and reminisce whenever he wanted.On Monday at noon, before Willy had a chance to visit Orion Universal Group, he received a call from Heather Collins."Mr. Morgan, our team went to Tianwen Community as planned. The residents were surprisingly eager to sell. All 117 building owners have agreed to sell, and they were so concerned we might not have enough funds that they offered to drop the price by another $50 per square meter. The final total comes to around $650 million, and we’ve arranged for a joint property certificate. The certificate lists your name and include

"Close your eyes, focus deeply on your thoughts, and then visualize the current stock market trends in your mind. You'll see the stocks that will hit the limit-up tomorrow!" the system instructed.Willy Morgan followed the instructions, and sure enough, six stock codes appeared in his mind. He quickly noted them down on his phone, planning to compare them the next day.After chatting with the system for a while, Willy drove home. It was already late, and the stock market had closed, so he decided to visit the securities company the next day to open an account.Early the next morning, Willy went to the largest securities company in the country, opened an account, and deposited all the remaining money from his lottery winnings into it. He checked the six stocks he had predicted the day before, and to his delight, three of them had hit their limit-up at the opening, while the other three were steadily rising. This greatly boosted Willy's confidence in the system.However, since the predi

Willy Morgan looked at the group of people before him. Each of them exuded a vigorous energy. The leader, Eleanor Rodriguez, was a woman in her forties, dressed in a sharp professional outfit with a neatly tied ponytail. Her subtle makeup complemented her face, striking a balance between professionalism and youthful appearance. The three men with her, clearly bodyguards, had muscular physiques that strained against their jackets. There was a burly man with a large head and thick neck, obviously the chef, and another man in a suit with gold-rimmed glasses, carrying a box that hinted at his role as a private doctor. Beside Eleanor, there was a demure young woman, presumably the personal assistant, and a middle-aged man with a square face who looked like the chauffeur.“Mr. Morgan, as you can see, we have three personal bodyguards, this is the chef, this is the private doctor, and this is the driver. This lady is the personal assistant, and I am the housekeeper. Our annual salary is 2 mi

The next morning, Willy Morgan woke up to the tempting aroma of breakfast. It was the first time someone had made breakfast for him.“Master Morgan, you’re awake! Hurry and eat! Zoe made an English breakfast today. You should try it!” Eleanor Rodriguez said as she brought the dishes over.“Have you all eaten?” Willy Morgan glanced at the time; it was almost 9 o’clock. The stock market would open in half an hour.“We’ve already eaten. Each of us has a fixed early wake-up time and duty schedule. Do you have any plans for today?”“Not really. By the way, Eleanor, I have a buddy working as a sales representative at a Mercedes dealership. If you’re going to buy cars today, go through him. It’ll help him hit his sales targets!”“Got it, Master Morgan.”“Here’s his number. I’ll send him a WhatsApp message to let him know you’re co

After returning the books, Willy Morgan spotted Asher and Carter outside the library.“You two are here to read as well?” Willy Morgan asked as he approached them.“Master Morgan, we’re here to provide security for you.”“What?! You’ve been with me since the morning? You’ve been nearby the whole time?”“Yes, Master Morgan!”“Have you had lunch yet? I’m sure you haven’t. Let’s go out for a meal!”“Master Morgan, Zoe prepared a French meal at home for you!”“Oh right, I have a chef now!”“Master Morgan, let me drive you home. Carter can take a cab.”“...Alright then!”Willy Morgan was still adjusting to having a full-time staff, understanding that after living alone for 22 years, it would take some time to get used to the sudden addition of so many people.In the car,

Willy Morgan calculated that he had less than 10 million left in his pocket. Of course, if there were any demolition or system upgrades, the amount could vary significantly!“Eleanor, can I get back to you later?

Just let me know before the 8th.”Meanwhile, Heather Collins also received an invitation to the auction.“Ms. Collins, the wealthy individuals in Los Angeles are all attending this auction, and we’ve been allocated two spots by Orion Universal Group.

Amidst the laughter and cheerful atmosphere, lunchtime arrived!In addition to the basic seafood, Willy specifically instructed the chef to prepare a few mild dishes for the ladies. Violet loved seafood, but she knew she couldn't indulge right now, so she nibbled on some of the vegetables the chef made while eyeing the seafood spread, imagining herself enjoying it."Violet, once you’ve had the baby, you can eat anything you want. I’ll get you a team of chefs to cook a different meal every day!" Willy promised."Don’t! After I give birth, I want to be a sexy mom! If I can breastfeed, I’ll do it myself. If not, once I’m healed, I’ll hit the gym! When my child’s a teenager, I’ll take him out and have people call me 'sister'! That’s going to be the peak of my life!" Violet said, her eyes sparkling."Calling you ‘sister’ would be weird, right?" Willy raised an eyebrow."I mean, I want to

After the phone call, Violet walked out of the room in a sexy bikini, looking a bit shy."Hmm, Violet may be pregnant, but her figure is still top-notch! No wonder she's my Babe!" Willy couldn't help but praise her.Hearing Willy's compliment, Violet finally relaxed a little."Willy, Violet never wears bikinis. She usually wears those weird swimsuits that wrap her up like a dumpling! But this time, she's really gathered the courage to try one! Violet's belly's pointy, I think it’s a boy!" Peyton teased."Peyton, you're paying attention to this?" Willy chuckled."I’ve heard, if the belly's pointy, it’s usually a boy, and if it’s round, it’s a girl. Not sure if it’s true, but it's an old tradition, so it might be accurate! You better get ready to be a dad! But listen, when Violet has the baby, you can’t just focus on the kid and neglect her. If you do, I’ll take you on! Even though you’re my boss
269: The World Businessmen's Meet-Up
Breakfast was light, and by the time everyone woke up, it was nearly noon. They casually ate a bit, then quickly changed into swimwear. Some relaxed in the sun, some swam, and others took photos."Willy, how much did this island cost you?" Owen asked casually."This island was part of a business deal. The funds came from other partners," Willy explained."Oh, so an island like this must have cost hundreds of billions, right?""Yeah, but there are smaller islands that can be a lot cheaper. The environment might not be as great, though. I was surprised when I first came here. This island is huge, with an airport, a dock, and plenty of amusement facilities. If you like it, you can stay here long-term.""That depends on whether Tian can behave! By the way, Willy, have you received the invitation?""Invitation? What invitation?""The World Businessmen's Friendship Meet-Up on January 7th in Singapore. It’s an event where the heads of

"Everyone, go change into your summer clothes. The changing rooms are over there!" Willy pointed to a room nearby. Seeing this, everyone quickly pulled out their summer clothes and headed inside. After all, they were all still wearing thick winter coats and pants, and this was an island — even at night, the temperature was still in the twenties!Once everyone had changed, they stepped out in light, comfortable outfits: tank tops and shorts for the guys, and beautiful beach dresses for the girls. Even though it was night, they still wanted to look good. They all climbed aboard the open-top bus on Wonder Island."So refreshing! This sea breeze is making my heart flutter! Hahaha! I haven’t felt this relaxed in years!" Owen said, feeling great."Are you implying that I make you nervous normally?" Paisley asked, pinching Owen's ear."Babe! Let go, there are people around!" Owen quickly protested. "You’re embarrassing me! Let go already!"
267: Arrival at Wonder Island
Willy stood up, turned around, and pretended to be looking at the documents on his computer. From the reflection in the nearby mirror, he caught a glimpse of Violet’s somewhat downcast expression. It was understandable, though. This was the first time Willy was celebrating her birthday with her, and Violet had never mentioned her birthday to him. She didn’t even know when Willy’s own birthday was. If she brought it up and suddenly realized Willy's birthday had already passed, wouldn’t that be awkward? Violet thought for a moment and realized she might be overthinking it. After all, it was just a birthday. If they didn’t celebrate it, it didn’t matter. Living with Willy every day already felt like celebrating her birthday. It was like every day with him was "Babe Day."Around 5 PM, Maverick drove the business vehicle, carrying Violet and Willy to New York’s T7 terminal. T7 was a special passage exclusively for private flights. Before a

With just two days left until Christmas, Willy's team, including Logan, compiled the data on the current status of all the companies under Willy's umbrella. As he looked at the reports, Willy felt a little overwhelmed. Apart from the familiar names like Willy Tian Investment, Willy Pharmaceuticals, Willy Manufacturing, Galaxy Chips, Microsoft, LV M H, Global Airlines, and other well-known companies, he was surprised to see dozens of listed companies on the list. This left him a bit confused."Logan, I’ve been looking at this subsidiary report you sent over, and I recognize the companies at the beginning – the ones I founded or the ones I’ve acquired. But what are all these twenty-odd companies at the end? And they’re listed too?""Boss, when we were running Willy Tian Investment, we entered into several partnerships with companies, investing as shareholders. Over time, these companies performed well, and thanks to our behind-the-scenes support,
265: Aren't All These Yours?
"Go to hell, you’re the one who would jump off! Violet, I envy you so much! All these clothes, jewelry, bags, and even these diamonds! Ahhhhh!!!!" Peyton exclaimed, dragging Violet and Tessa along, as all three of them screamed in excitement, their stress melting away, and it was clear to everyone that they were genuinely happy."Everyone, feel free to pick what you like! If you end up wanting the same thing, just sort it out between yourselves. If there’s anything you’re missing, Willy will have the company send it to you!" Violet said generously."Really? Sister-in-law? Then I’m definitely taking some! I’m taking a lot!" Tessa grinned."Tessa, there are over 50,000 items here on this floor. How much do you think you can take? A thousand?" Violet teased."Fifty thousand..." Tessa gasped in awe."Dad, father-in-law, Tian, there are four rooms with men's items. Go take a look! It's not just women's stuff here! Although,

"Hey! Big shot, what brings you to call me at this time?" Tian answered the phone with a hint of annoyance."Tian, you’re bringing Clara home to meet the parents today, right?" Willy asked casually."How do you know this? I'm almost home!" Tian replied, surprised."Make sure you and Clara keep this a secret — the surprise for my Babe, or else I'll definitely break you two up!" Willy threatened."Damn, you're threatening me? You think I'm afraid of you? Fine, I'll keep it a secret! I admit, I'm scared!" Tian laughed."Hahaha, you’re such a smooth talker. But girls don’t like that. You should be more down-to-earth!""You’re really something, huh? Now that you’ve settled down, you think you can give everyone advice? Anyway, I’m at the gate now, gotta go!" Tian said, hanging up.Dinner at the Morgan family was lively and harmonious. Owen and Paisley repeatedly mentioned that it was a pity Willy wa

Back at the W&L building, Willy sat alone in his office and made a call to his superior."Boss, I’m calling you now more often than I call Babe!" Willy teased."Hmph, it’s because there’s a problem! Didn’t your people run into any issues when they went over?""Boss, what kind of problem did your people encounter?""They got held hostage and even asked for a ransom! I’ve already sent Rose to handle it, so she doesn’t spend all day sighing in the office!""Oh!" Willy thought back to when Ethan and the others had gone to handle the property transfer. Wione and the others had gone with them. After everything was settled, Wione stayed by Willy's side, while Lione became Violet’s personal bodyguard. WithreeLifour and Wifive were assigned to protect Willy and Violet’s parents in secret.No wonder Ethan and the team had such an easy time with the transfer.
