2025-01-14 16:05:09Aiden nodded and got onto the scooter and the man drove away. The man driving the scooter had a frown on his face.
Though he couldn't believe that Aiden was going to have the money to buy the company, it was none of his business. He had already called the owner and told him that he had gotten a buyer. He had already been paid, so he couldn't care less if the other party was going to be able to buy the company. Soon, the two arrived at a rather magnificent building. The building looked huge and one of the most beautiful in the area. Aiden was shocked in his heart seeing this. All he thought was that the company he was about to buy was just a small company. He didn't expect the company to be this huge. What the heck was happening? He wasn't going to care anyway. All he wanted was to acquire a company. Stopping the scooter, the man alighted from it and so did Aiden. Just by the gate of the huge building was a medium-height figure in a Tang suit looking like he had been waiting for the two. "Mr. Dominic, this is the man who wants to buy the company." The man introduced himself and then continued. "I'll be taking my leave." He then turned around and walked away even before Dominic was able to say anything. "Good afternoon Mr. Dominic." Aiden greeted, stretching his hands forward for a handshake. Dominic narrowed his brows as he stared at Aiden for a while. At first, he thought that it was a second rich generation who was willing to buy the company just for fun. But after seeing it was Aiden and how the latter was dressed, he realized that it might not be the case, and thus, he felt reluctant. It was not as though he didn't want to sell the company, but there were underlying issues with it. "Young man, are you sure you want to pursue the company?" Dominic narrowed his brows as he looked at Aiden. Aiden was a little bit confused hearing what Dominic said. If he didn't want to purchase the company, he wouldn't be here in the first place. "Yes I would like to," Aiden answered, sounding rather impatient. Dominic felt a little bit confused hearing Aiden's tone. He could tell that the latter was rather impatient as if he couldn't wait to buy the company straight away. He wondered why the latter was in a hurry and he couldn't help but take a second look at Aiden. "But..." "Isn't the company up for sale?" Aiden interrupted Dominic, his brows narrowing into a thin line. "Yes, it is." Dominic was shocked in his heart wondering why Aiden was sounding impatient. "Then we can begin the process." Aiden nodded, feeling rather unsatisfied with Dominic. "I know you're rather in a hurry, but there's something I would like to tell you first." Dominic sighed, feeling rather helpless. He couldn't understand what was wrong with Aiden and why the latter sounded so impatient. "Then get on with it," Aiden scoffed, his voice turning cold as he was getting rather impatient. He didn't mean to be rude, but the other party was delaying him. If they knew that they didn't want to sell the company to him, then they should have just said it. There was no need to waste his time. He only had twenty-four hours and he couldn't afford to waste it. "Fine." Dominic agreed and began. "I have to tell you, about ten years ago, this company was the number one snack company in the whole of Oakridge, and it was worth over five hundred million." "But then we invented a new snack and then it went wrong. We don't know where the product went wrong, but the snack happened to cause the death of many, and as a result, we were forced to close down." Dominic sighed. Aiden frowned after hearing this. Some years ago, he heard about this incident, but since it had nothing to do with him, he didn't take it seriously. It turned out that this was the company. But still, he couldn't care less about it and wanted the company anyway. After all, his life depended on it. "I'm sure we were plotted against, as many of our staff took the snack, and nothing happened to them. But we were not able to beat the allegations." Dominic continued. "We were forced to stop the production of the snack resulting in a huge loss. At the same time, the rest of our products were sabotaged and there was nothing we could do about it. That's why we are in this state." "So young man I'm afraid you'll just be wasting your money if you are to buy the company. So I'd advise you to go to another place." Dominic concluded. Aiden narrowed his brows as he looked at Dominic, though he was rather shocked when he heard this. He couldn't care less about it. He still wanted the company. "Even the owner of the company has forsaken the company and asked me to put it up for sale." Dominic sighed, observing Aiden's expression as he spoke. "It would be better if you don't dabble your hands into stuff you might not be able to handle." "After all, the people behind the fall of the company are not ordinary, so I think It would be safe not to buy it," Dominic added. "I understand your concerns. But I think I'm interested in the fall of the company and what happened, so I'm still willing to purchase the company." Aiden forced a smile. Though he was interested, he was still running for his life, so he didn't care. "I...." "Mr Dominic, I'm afraid that you won't be able to change my mind. So I think you should just give up." Aiden interrupted Dominic. Dominic sighed seeing that he was not able to convince Aiden. Since that was the case, he was going to have no other choice but to listen to the other party. "Alright, I'll sell the company to you." "Congratulations Mr. Aiden, the company is now yours." Dominic smiled, stretching his hands forward for a handshake. "But I have not paid for the company?" Aiden was a little confused, so he looked at Dominic. "You don't have to worry about that." Dominic shook his head. "Though all I said was not a lie, I'm the owner of the company, and I'm not willing to let the company go down, so I'd like to work with you." "Don't worry, I won't blame you if you were not able to revive the company," Dominic added. "I see," Aiden muttered, not wanting to agree, but he had no other choice. "Fine then, I agree with it." He forced a smile and took the handshake. "Ding!" "Mission Accomplished. The Snack Shack company is now the Hosts'' " The mechanical voice of the System rang just immediately after Aiden agreed.

"Host now has a company." The mechanical voice came again and Aiden couldn't help but breathe in a sigh of relief.He didn't know he was going to be able to tell the System that the company was given to him.But it seemed like that was none of the System's problem, and it just counted it directly."Host has received ten million dollars and a skill." The mechanical voice sounded again and the next moment, Aiden's phone beeped.Checking, he saw the alert of the ten million and couldn't help but smile."Skill would be uploaded into the host memory." The mechanical voice came again, and the next moment, a light screen appeared in front of Aiden reading."Skill uploading...."In front of it was a percentage bar which read 2% out of a hundred.Soon, the percentage bar got to a hundred and the mechanical voice sounded."Skill uploaded."Aiden felt a warm stream of energy flow into his head.

"About that sir, we'll be needing quite several things." Dominic looked at Aiden, wondering how the latter would be able to revoke the court order."You should pen it down then," Aiden suggested."That'll be better." Dominic agreed, then turned to pick a pen and blank sheet."You should list everything that we need to make the company functional again," Aiden added."Alright." Dominic nodded and began to scribble on the paper.The sharp noise from the pen cut through the silence as Dominic wrote while Aiden watched."Here sir." Dominic soon finished and handed the paper to Aiden.Aiden stretched his hands and collected the paper from Dominic, his eyes scanning the entire content."I...""Ding!" The mechanical voice sounded, interrupting Aiden, who was about to say something."Complete all the necessary steps written in the paper in a month." The voice said."Host has received five hundred million dollars and a skill." The mechanical voice continued.Just like the last time, a light sc

"After we get a lawyer, he would be the one to reopen the case and then take it to Court." Dominic continued."The hardest part is where we would have to look for evidence that the company was innocent." Dominic sighed as he concluded.Aiden nodded with a smile, it seemed like this was easier than he had thought.Get a lawyer to tender back the case to the court, then look for evidence. And that was all. As long as they could convince the court they were innocent, it was going to be done.Though this sounded easy, he knew how hard it was. If he failed to find solid evidence, then that was the end of it.There was no way the court would want to listen to him again, so he had to be careful.Aiden sighed and glanced at Dominic who was staring at him and couldn't help but frown, after a while, he asked,"What's wrong, why are you staring at me that way?""Mr. Aiden, I appreciate your efforts to bring back the company, but I don't think we will be able to succeed." Dominic sighed."And who
Empire Building System Elsa's Reluctance
"I thought you were not going to come." Aiden turned to the lady who had rushed out of the company to meet him.There was a faint blush in her eyes as she stood beside him, not saying a word."Well, Mr. Dominic asked me to come, and since I work for him and you've bought the company, that would mean that I would work for you." The lady smiled.Though she was smiling, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes. After all, her thought was that Aiden was a rich second generation and even though he was dressed shabbily, she believed that it was just to trick young girls into falling into his traps.If it was not for Dominic, she wouldn't have agreed to be his assistant. However, at the moment, she didn't fully agree and just wanted to test out the latter.If he tried anything improper, she was going to have to tell Dominic and she was sure that he would know what to do, so she was not scared."What's your name?" Aiden broke the silence, turning to look at the lady."I'm Elsa." The la

Alighting from the car, Elsa and Aiden walked into the store. Elsa's face was still squeezed, looking like she had just seen a pile of shit a few minutes ago.She was still doubting Aiden who didn't even notice the expression on her face and was lost in his thoughts on how to invite his lawyer friend to help him with this case.She had thought that he was still trying to pretend as though he didn't notice her. She already had a plan in mind."Welcome sir, Ma." A sales girl approached the two and greeted them, bowing slightly."What cars do you have?" Aiden snapped out of his thoughts, looked at the girl who seemed to be a complete newbie at the store, and asked directly."Well..." The girl was taken aback by Aiden's question and stuttered before finally replying."We have quite several brands; there's Mercedes, BMW, Toyota, and a lot more." She spoke, glancing at Aiden and then at Elsa who was by the side.Elsa rolled her eyes at the sales girl, seeing that she was staring at her, and

"I didn't expect to meet you here, Aiden." The lady sneered, stopping a few meters away from Aiden, staring at him, disgust written all over her face.Aiden's expression changed, turning around and seeing who it was. He wasn't expecting to meet Amelia here, but that's none of his business. She had already told him that they were not of the same world, so there was no need to bother about her."Here's my card, hurry up and swipe it." Aiden pretended as though he couldn't hear Amelia and turned to the sales girl, giving her his card."Didn't you hear what I just said?!" Amelia flew into a rage seeing that Aiden was ignoring her."Hurry up, please; I can't have some rabid dog barking into my ears." Aiden knitted his brows, turning to the girl, uttering with a serious expression.The sales girl gulped upon hearing this and quickly nodded. She could tell that Amelia and Aiden had some hostility, but it was none of her business. All she needed to do was just pretend as though she couldn't s

"Honey, what's wrong?" Amelia, who was about to attack Aiden once again, noticed Noah's expression."You don't need to ask, I'll tell you what's wrong with him." Aiden chuckled, knowing well what had happened."Shut up!" Amelia sneered and quickly turned to Noah."Honey, what's wrong?" She inquired, staring at Noah."Take a look at this." Noah finally responded and showed her his phone instead."Huh?" Amelia stepped back, her eyes were as though they were going to pop out of their sockets as she stared at the screen."Sir, ma'am, here's the papers, you'll sign here." The sales girl soon ran back with some papers and a big smile on her face."How much did you say the car was?" Noah finally came back to his senses and asked."It's twenty million dollars, sir." The girl replied, still nonchalant about what was happening."Are you sure about that?" Noah looked at the girl and then at the car."Yes, I am." The girl nodded."That one right there." Noah pointed at the car, his eyes like they

"Mr. Dominic, there are quite a few things I would like to inquire about." Aiden looked at Dominic who was still standing in front of the company."Sure, you can ask." Dominic nodded.However, he was a bit shocked to see Aiden as he wasn't expecting the latter to come back.He had just finished contacting those who would come to clean and repaint the building and was preparing to look for his old friend to replace the machine.The ones at the company would be sold out, and the money would be used by the company."Can you write down the formula of the snack that made the company go bankrupt, and also the process of how it's being produced, right from the start to the finish?" Aiden requested."Yes, sure, Mr. Aiden, but that'll take some; I'm not sure if you'll be able to wait to take it." Dominic agreed almost Immediately.As the head of the company and also a food expert, he was actively involved in the process of the snack and knew it like the back of his hand."Let's go in then, I'l

Keep Your Hands Off My Woman
After a while, Astrid came back to her senses and hurried into the banquet hall.Stepping into the hall, she saw Aiden sitting in a corner with plates of food before him."Really?" She muttered under her breath, wondering how long she had been in a daze that Aiden had gotten into the hall and piled up food.Shaking her head, she rushed over to his side. As for what he said earlier, she didn't put much thought into it as she felt he just said it to cheer her up."I thought you wouldn't come in," Aiden glanced at Astrid with a mouthful, nodding slightly before turning around to continue eating."But...""Shhh! Have some table manners, no talking while eating." Aiden whispered, placing a finger on his lips."You should have some," He continued,"I wonder why they would even prepare food in the first place when all you do is just take the drinks and ignore the food," Aiden continued to grumble as he wolfed down the food before him.Astrid covered her mouth, chuckling lightly at Aiden's re
The Banquet
In no time, Astrid and Abigail walked out of the room again. This time, Abigail's face looked rather smooth, the wrinkles on her face had all disappeared.She was already in her late forties and with the level of work she was doing, it had caused wrinkles all over her face.Now, with Aiden's help, she was able to get rid of the wrinkles, which made her happy. At the same time, she felt rather guilty looking down on him the first time they met."Thank you, Dr. Aiden," Astrid broke the silence,, bowing to Aide,n, who was sitting on the sofa."It's nothing." Aiden shrugged,"Besides, I did it 'cause I wanted you to work for me,"."I understand, but I still wish to thank you," Astrid smiled lightly, bowing again.She didn't mind Aiden's words. After all with his skills, there was no need for him to treat her at all. With a wave of his hands, many others would come looking for him, yet he treated her."We've not talked about the medical fee for my daughter whom you treated," Abigail said,
The Truth
"It's just that I only told a part of the Truth," Astrid sighed, continuing after a while."Then tell me the whole truth," Aiden frowned slightly, demanding in a rather commanding tone."Actually, I was abducted, and then while struggling, the acid splashed and poured on my face, and then it poured on my body.""But the person behind my abdication and the acid was still my best friend," Astrid explained slowly.Aiden arched his brows slightly staring at Astrid. He didn't completely believe her words though they sounded like it was the truth."I know it sounds ridiculous, but that's the truth," Astrid smiled bitterly, shaking her head seeing Aiden's expression."Fine," Aiden shook his head walking back to the sofa.Even if he wanted to say something, he was speechless at the moment and even found it hard to say the fine he had just said."Here's the herbs you asked for," Abigail's voice came at the moment, breaking the silence.Looking at Astrid, whose upper body was exposed, she gaspe
Aiden's Shock
"Huh?" Astrid froze hearing Aiden's words, her eyes almost bulging out of their sockets as she couldn't believe her ears.Was he just trying to comfort her? Then after he tried for a while, he would say he's sorry that he's unable to treat her."But that shouldn't be the case. He didn't look like he was joking with her. He sounded confident.But remembering this was how the other doctors also sounded confident the last time she went to meet them, the hope which she was beginning to grow got extinguished again."Did you hear what I just said?" Aiden snapped his finger, pulling Astrid back to her senses."Well, even if I regain my looks, I don't think I'll be able to do anything to them. It's been over three years since this incident," Astrid sighed sadly, shaking her head."Since that's the case, would you be willing to work for me?" Aiden offered a smile slowly creeping onto his face.With someone like Astrid, there was a lot he could do. Forget about marketing. Some people would buy
I'll Treat Your Face
In no time, the taxi Aiden boarded pulled up before a Villa. Staring at the house, Aiden nodded slightly, then walked towards the door.Pressing on the doorbell, the door shot open almost instantly."Come in please, Dr. Aiden," Abigail forced a smile inviting Aiden into the house.Walking inside, Aiden nodded slightly. The quality of this house, though, was a bit lower than that of Scott's; it was almost the same. He'd presume it was Scott who had given it to his aunt.Well, Abigail was also not poor. Buying the house would be no problem for her."Thanks for treating my daughter," Abigail thanked Aiden while placing a glass of water before him."Also, I've resolved the court case." She continued, still staring at Aiden who didn't look like he was listening."The court should have sent the letter to your company. I'm so sorry for putting your company into such a deep mess," Abigail apologized again, this time, there were streaks of tears on her face."It's no problem, even if you haven
Aiden's Decision
Elsa collapsed back onto the chair watching Aiden leave. She didn't know what to do with him. He was just too stubborn for his own good.Well, it was a good thing she had made this deal with him; else, there was no way she would be able to do what he wanted well."Ding!"Elsa's phone beeped and sure enough, it was the notification of the money sent by Aiden.Seemed like he was really serious about this. She had no other choice, she could only hope in her heart that the snack would not fail.With so much invested, it wouldn't be a nice thing to see the snack fail. It would be bad."James," Elsa raised her head, calling the man who was yet to leave.Though Aiden had left, the man didn't dare relax, he was still in the office."Yes, ma'am," James answered instantly, his heart pounding.Though Aiden didn't directly say it, he knew now he would be working under them. The extra five Million was not for free.Besides, he felt he wouldn't lose out too much if he was to work for them. They wer
Making The Bet
"The host has bought a factory!""Host has received five hundred Million dollars."The mechanical voice rang in Aiden's head making him nod satisfactorily. This was a good thing.Though he had yet to use up all of the money he received from the System, he had still used up quite a number of it and was thinking about how he would get it back.Now, he had gotten five hundred Million dollars from the System. This meant the System wanted him to develop this place.Well, he also had the intention of doing that, so there was no need to be scared or to rush anything at the moment."Sir!" The fat man's voice came, pulling Aiden out of his thoughts."Sorry about that, I was lost in my thoughts just now," Aiden forced a smile, apologizing lightly."So what do you need me to do sir?" The man asked again, his voice filled with respect."The land at the back of your factory. Who owns it?" Aiden asked directly. He was not the type to beat around this bush and thus told him what he wanted directly.
Let's Make A Bet
The man's eyes brightened upon hearing this. Wasn't this a god sent opportunity? He didn't expect the other party would be willing to offer five million to the factory.He knew clearly in his heart how much the factory was worth. As for the ten million he mentioned earlier, he was just bluffing."Are you in or should I just leave?" Aiden's cold voice came pulling the man out of his fantasies."No, it's not that way, I'll sell it," The man hurriedly shook his head and replied."Then get the papers ready; I don't have much time to waste," Aiden sat back in his seat while the man nodded and then rushed out of the office."Don't you think it's an overkill, buying here for five million?" Elsa couldn't resist the impulse to ask after the man left."I know it's overkill, but I still need to make use of the man, so I gave him so much; that way, he would be willing to work for me," Aiden smiled lightly.He already had a series of plans in his heart. There was a lot to do and he was going to ma
Take Or Leave It
"Well..." Elsa froze, not expecting Aiden's question."Don't you know any?" Aiden narrowed his brows seeing Elsa silent."No, that's not the case, I know one. It's just that the factory is not doing well and is about to close down, so I'm not sure if...." Elsa stopped amidst her words, staring at Aiden through the glass."You don't have to worry; it would be better if we could buy the company; that way, the flour production would solely belong to us, and we can control it however we want," Aiden answered, nodding slightly."Alright then," Elsa nodded, trying to suppress the shock in her heart.Buy the factory? What the heck was Aiden thinking? Did he think money was easy to come by?But she didn't say anything. He was a rich second generation after all. Also, she wanted his success and not his downfall; otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed to all of this."I'll take you to the company. As for whether you'll be able to buy it, that'll depend on your ability," Elsa stated, this time, she
