System Activation: Becoming a Super Rich

Chapter 4: Spend Ten Million Dollars

Justin approached Matthew Turner, whose face paled in fear. Matthew hurriedly spoke, "Mr. Wilson, I am not in league with Benjamin Lee. I am absolutely loyal to Sunrise Corporation. Please discern the truth."

Justin waved his hand, smiling, "Manager Turner, there's no need to panic. We have no grudges between us, and I'm not here to cause trouble. On the contrary, I'm here to promote you and raise your salary. Starting today, you'll be promoted from deputy general manager to general manager. From now on, I'll need your help in overseeing both major and minor affairs within the company."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. Do I look like I'm joking with you?"

In fact, Justin had already learned about Matthew Turner's background. He was a highly competent individual who had handled many matters well, but he had always been suppressed by Benjamin Lee. This prevented him from fully showcasing his talents, and he often had to take the blame for Benjamin's actions—a truly regrettable situation.

Individuals like Matthew merely needed someone to recognize their abilities. As long as someone could promote them, they would be forever grateful and fully committed.

Justin was doing just that. Although he was now the chairman of Sunrise Corporation, he was still relatively new to this large organization.

He was no fool, knowing that he should now focus on winning people over and establishing his authority. Only in this way could he secure his position as chairman.

"Thank you, Chairman. I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life!" Matthew Turner was overjoyed, nearly kneeling before Justin.

For Justin, this was a simple gesture, but for Matthew, it was an opportunity he had been waiting for years.

"No need to thank me. Just do your job well. I need you to help me oversee this vast corporation, as I don't have the time to handle every matter within the company."

"Understood, Chairman. Rest assured, I will do my utmost."

Justin nodded in satisfaction and turned to address the hundred or so employees behind him:

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is our first meeting. From now on, I hope we can all work together. To encourage everyone to work hard, I've decided to double your monthly salaries, add an extra 100,000 dollars to your year-end bonuses, and give each of you a 50,000-dollar welcome gift from my personal account. You can collect it from my assistant later."

Hearing this, the crowd erupted in excitement.

"What? A 50,000-dollar welcome gift, double the salary, and an additional 100,000-dollar year-end bonus? Am I dreaming?"

"Long live the Chairman!"

Employees excitedly discussed the news, who didn't want to earn more money and have a generous boss who handed out rewards without hesitation?

Justin was pleased, knowing that he had successfully won over the hearts of his employees. Although the expense was significant, with the Super Rich System by his side, such a sum was nothing. The system had mentioned that he needed to display the demeanor of a wealthy person, and what was that if not spending money without a second thought?

"Congratulations, Master, on successfully completing your first mission with a 100% completion rate. A reward package has been added to your inventory. The second mission begins now. Master is required to spend ten million dollars within two hours by purchasing items. Success will be rewarded with a mystery gift package, while failure will result in the retraction of all previous gains."

Without further ado, the system issued Justin a new mission that required him to spend ten million dollars within a two-hour time limit. It was undoubtedly a considerate task.

What could he buy that was worth over ten million dollars, besides a luxurious villa? At this hour, all property sales departments were closed, and even if he wanted to buy a villa, there was nowhere to go.

"Ah, well, my clothes are filthy anyway. Since I have so much money, I might as well go shopping for some new ones."

Justin left Sunrise Building and arrived at Nova City's most renowned commercial district. Many companies had branches here, and there were numerous exclusive brand-name clothing stores.

After arriving in his secretary's car, Justin got out and proceeded without her, as he wasn't yet accustomed to being surrounded by assistants. He headed towards the Versace boutique, a world-famous clothing brand.

"Welcome!"

As Justin entered, a salesperson greeted him but then turned away upon recognizing him.

"Ava Davis, is that you?"

Justin's sharp eyes identified the salesperson as his classmate, Ava Davis. He called out to her, but she only sped up, attempting to escape.

He caught up with her in a few strides and grabbed her arm. Ava turned to face him, lowering her head in fear.

"Justin, what a coincidence. What brings you here?"

Ava's long hair was tied up, her bangs reaching her eyebrows, and her large, evasive eyes sparkled. She wore a black professional suit, her face adorned with light makeup, exuding the aura of a career woman.

Surprised to see his classmate working here instead of attending school, Justin frowned and asked, "Ava, why haven't you been coming to school lately? What are you doing here?"

Ava remained silent, but her expression told Justin there was more to the story. Under his persistent questioning, she finally revealed the truth.

"My mom is sick and needs a lot of money for treatment. Our family can't afford it, so I decided to quit school and work here to help out."

Hearing this, Justin fell silent. He knew a bit about Ava's situation. She always excelled academically, and if she continued her studies, she would undoubtedly secure a good job after graduation. It would be a pity if she quit now.

It seemed her decision to leave school was related to her mother's illness. Perhaps he would have been helpless in the past, but now, with the Super Rich System, such matters were trivial to him.

"Ava, you shouldn't give up on your education like this. It's such a waste."

Ava hesitated, biting her lip, and finally shook her head.

"Thank you for your concern, but I have to work now. If you want to talk about other things, please wait until after my shift."

Initially, other salespeople thought Justin was here to shop and were eager to serve him. However, upon realizing that he hadn't mentioned a word about buying anything and was instead chatting with Ava about unrelated matters, they dispersed, gossiping amongst themselves.

"Tsk, I thought he was here to shop. This is a Versace boutique, after all. If you're not buying anything, don't cause trouble."
