Becoming the Richest Man Alive

That was true. Even though they heard that the hotel had been taken over by someone else, they had

never seen the new owner.

They still got to work at this hotel, enjoying the same salary and benefits. As long as it didn’t

compromise their interests, they couldn’t care less who the new owner was.

Every person had an indifferent and selfish side, and there was no exception to this.

Right then, Casper turned to look at Elena.

Immediately, the latter understood him and strode over to the stage.

Looking at the crowd, she announced solemnly in a steady tone, “In fact, this man who’s standing in

front of you is the major shareholder of Tycoon Hotel. He’s also the chairman who holds the authority

over the hotel.”

Her words came like a bombshell and startled everyone present.

After all, the man on the stage looked more like a fresh graduate who had never worked in his lifetime.

How can this young man be the chairman of Tycoon? She must be kidding.

So what if he’s wearing a well-cut suit and has a domineering aura? It still doesn’t change the fact that

he looks young and immature. There’s no way he’s the owner of Tycoon.

We’re not sure if he has the wealth to support the hotel’s operation, not to mention the capabilities to be

the leader.

How much money can his family allow an undergraduate like him to squander? This capricious young

man is probably nothing more than an ignorant son from a rich family.

Does this mean that these jobs that we went to great lengths to get are not stable? How long can

Tycoon last under the leadership of such a hedonistic and wayward son of a rich family? If Tycoon

crumbles, what should we do next?

The expressions of those in front of the stage changed drastically at these thoughts.

Their gazes on Casper glinted with distrust, doubt, and disdain.

Some of them even felt that his incompetency was the root cause of all the issues Tycoon was facing

recently.

The corner of Casper’s lips quirked into a nonchalant half-smile as he met their gazes.

“I can tell that most of you have difficulty believing me, and I can put myself in your shoes. After all, age

is one of the deciding factors of one’s capability. Besides, my capability has a direct correlation with

your jobs and incomes. That’s why you’re all in doubt and disbelief,” he said with a smile, which turned

unruly and condescending in the next second.

“No matter what, I’m still the boss of Tycoon now.” His voice was laced with arrogance. “Therefore, I

have every right to make decisions and do whatever I please. Every single one of you has to obey me.

As the owner, the fate of this hotel is in my hand.”

As everyone’s gaze flickered, Casper knew that he was halfway through achieving his goal.

Everyone’s eyes were filled with distrust as they stared at the man matter-of-factly, as if they had

expected him to be such a person.

Having a young man lead the hotel already had them feeling troubled and worried, but his hedonistic

attitude made things seem much worse than it was.

A look of disappointment crossed their faces, and their expressions turned gloomier at the thought that

they might lose their jobs soon.

Just then, Casper’s demeanor shifted all of a sudden as he asked, “Previously, I heard about the

hotel’s current situation and recent happenings. I believe we’re of the same mind and wish not to see

the hotel being in such a tight spot. Don’t you hope that the hotel’s situation will get better?”

He scanned the people in front of him and added, “I know many of you still don’t trust me, thinking that

your jobs are not secured and that you’ll probably be unemployed soon. Because of your distrust,

you’re crippled by the fear of losing your jobs. Am I right?”

Lowering their heads, none of them refuted him, affirming his words silently.

With his eyes riveted on them, Casper continued speaking, “Even if I wasn’t around, Tycoon would still

face critical problems. If Tycoon’s reputation continues to worsen, it’ll be shut down before I can cause

trouble. In the end, all of you won’t be able to escape unemployment and losing your source of income.

What’s going to happen to your children and parents then?”

Pausing briefly, he questioned again, “Or do you subconsciously reckon that Tycoon is already

doomed? Are you so lazy and undisciplined because you think that the hotel won’t pull through? Are

you ready to lose your bread and butter?” Casper sniggered at them.

“If this is the case, why did you act that way earlier?” Despite the smile on Casper’s face, there was not

a trace of amusement in his gaze.

“You’re afraid that my incompetence and lack of funds will cause the hotel’s business to go downhill,

which in turn makes you lose your jobs. Yet, you turn a blind eye to the hotel’s critical issues and have

even given up already. Does this make sense to you?” Casper questioned.

His words were greeted with pin-drop silence. Everyone hung their heads in shame and couldn’t bring

themselves to glance up at him.

“The first thing I noticed when I stepped into the hotel tonight was your lazy attitude at work. Think

about it. Even a normal tourist who doesn’t know the inside story won’t want to dine in here ever again

after experiencing our sluggish services,” Casper said sternly with a grim expression while glancing

around at everybody.

“Don’t you think this makes no sense?”

Everyone in front of the stage lowered their heads, unable to find the right words to explain this matter.

Nevertheless, some were still staring straight into Casper’s eyes in disdain.

Without a word, the man took note of their faces and turned to look at Elena, stealthily pointing in their

direction.

She nodded, trying to remember every face she saw.
