Riches in Disguise

Although I wanted to call myself George Bush, I thought it sounded too ridiculous. So, I answered honestly, "I am William White."

"You..."

"I am an ordinary student from Welsington University. The person outside is my friend. Well? Isn't he amazing?"

Since I wanted to keep a low profile, I made Quintus take the credit for my contributions.

However, that young woman wasn't easily fooled. She thought about it and replied, "Your surname is White... There's a prestigious family with the same surname as you in this country."

I coughed and wondered how she had connected the dots.noveldrama

Then, I hurriedly interrupted her train of thought. "What prestigious family? My family sells fruits. My friend Quintus had to learn kickboxing to earn money, which is why his fighting skills are excellent."

"Is that so?"

The young lady seemed to believe my words but still looked slightly suspicious.

So, I changed the topic of the conversation. "Oh yes, I haven't asked for your name yet."

Just then, the young woman smiled. "I forgot to introduce myself. I am Jennie Ziegler! If you don't mind, can I treat you to a meal? Also, I want to split the money that I received today with you."

"You can treat me to a meal, but you should keep the money."

I didn't lack money, but it looked like she needed it.

As we made our way to a restaurant, I asked her why she needed to rent the apartment. After all, it was obvious that those managing the area weren't good people.

She sighed before giving me the same reason as Gabrielle.

Her family had also urged her to get married soon. As such, she left the house to avoid them. She could only rent that apartment since she didn't have much money.

I asked curiously, "Why are so many women leaving their houses because their families keep urging them to get married?"

"There are many of us in this type of situation." Jennie chuckled bitterly.

She continued, "As a man, you won't understand because you'll inherit your family's house later on. But for women, we'll either have to live by ourselves or get married and live with our husband's family

"To sum things up... Once we become of legal age, there's no place for us at home anymore. My mother forced me to marry someone I didn't want, so I got out of the house and focused on my career instead."

Was that so? If this were true, I should probably turn my current building into a co- ed apartment. If outstanding women and men lived in my apartment, I'd give them a 20% discount.

Meanwhile, I'd raise the prices slightly for average men and women. Then, I'd rely on higher property management fees to balance out the rental gap caused by the discounts I gave to premium tenants.

This apartment would be extremely popular in Welsington!

Although it didn't seem fair, it was expected. After all, I only cared about profits,

not fairness, whenever I thought about business matters.

I'd select higher-quality tenants. Then, average men and women who wanted to look for partners wouldn't have negative opinions of it.

Anyway, if one tried looking for partners online, they would have to pay a hefty amount of money.

As such, I was acting as a free intermediary. Although the rent and property fees were slightly higher, it didn't matter.

Moreover, Victor and Mason would create a security team, making the apartment extremely safe. Who wouldn't want to live in an apartment like that?

Immediately, I got to work.

After finishing my meal, I sent Jennie back to her house and called Stella Jones, the office director of my game company.

I got her to write a project proposal for me and scout two managers who were knowledgeable in the topic, offering them a high salary for their service.

Once Stella heard my ideas, she gave me a thumbs-up.

"Mr. White, this idea is very innovative. No one in our country has done this before. If this succeeds, it will become very popular in Welsington and our country. When that happens, you can build an apartment like this in every city!"
