Female Novel
Chapter 264
“Thank you for saving my father.” Wyatt poured a glass of water for Casper.
Casper was puzzled. He took the glass of water and asked, “You know everything?”
“How can I not know such big news? Winston sent someone to pick me up to see Father last night.That was why I came back.” He pointed at his hair and beard. It seemed that he had trimmed thembefore seeing Tony.
“But I still have to thank you. Now only I remember that my pendant worth more than one hundredthousand isn’t even good enough for you. How can a person like you fancy something like that? I heardthat any item you bought at Antique Fair was worth six million.”
Hearing that, Casper couldn’t help but scratch his head. “Well, thanks to your father; that’s only abouttwo million.”
Wyatt sighed. “Six million… What a huge amount of money! It’s higher than any available financialinvestment.”
He leaned back on the couch and continued, “I’m relieved that Winston is the head of the family now.He is the most reliable person to take care of such a large sum of capital in the family. He is verypractical and money-savvy. Besides, loyalty is more important to him than money. Very few peoplepossess those two qualities at the same time.”
Hearing that, Casper stated, “You know, Winston asked me to persuade you to go back last time. Healways thinks you are the most suitable person to be the head of the family.”
Unexpectedly, Wyatt nodded and agreed, “Yes, you’re right. In terms of the brainy one, I’m moresuitable.”
Upon hearing that, Casper couldn’t help but roll his eyes. Come on, can’t he be a little more humble?
However, it seemed that Wyatt hadn’t finished his words as he continued, “I know myself. In terms ofpersonality, I’m not suitable for the job. The profit of each antique is too huge. Any painting is worthmillions. Besides, a piece of porcelain could reach tens of millions. It’s terrifying. It’s beyond the scopeof any luxury brand. I don’t want to deal with those things.”
Casper didn’t know what to say. “But isn’t any work of art like that? It’s the same in the country andabroad.”
“I know. It’s a fact. I do not deny the artistic value of these antiques. But when art is marked with aprice, it is no longer an art. And you know what’s more pathetic? Those who give the art a price are theartists that can’t even afford to pay for their own meals.”
Casper was dumbfounded. He suddenly realized he shouldn’t have started the discussion with Wyatt.
The latter seemed to have sensed Casper looking rather awkward. “Sorry. It’s my habit. I used to arguewith my father because of this. Anyway, why do you want to see me?”
Hearing that, Casper quickly switched the topic to talk about his matter. He told him about VamanosManpower and how they could do something to bring them down.
“They are a leather company? Well, it’s a piece of cake.”
Wyatt then picked up a pen and wrote two pages. “The most fundamental competition in business iscapital. With your wealth, it’s more than enough to defeat them. These are just some maneuvers in thebusiness world. Just a little trick would make them lose all the principal and interest at once.”
Casper picked the papers up and took a look at them. He couldn’t help but give a thumbs up. “It’sbrilliant. You’re indeed a genius in economics!”
Hearing that, Wyatt just smiled. “I want to say thank you. You’ve helped the Lanes and me a lot.”However, when he took a look at Casper’s clothes, he couldn’t help but feel amazed. “How is itpossible that someone like you existed in this fast-paced era? No wonder Sawyer didn’t even dare togo after you.”
Casper was just wearing a pair of simple jeans and short sleeves shirt. No wonder Wyatt felt that way.
Looking at the two sheets of paper in his hand, Casper suddenly realized that not only did Alfred askhim to come to Horington to learn something, but he also wanted him to build connections. Hence, howcould he give up a financial talent like Wyatt?
“Mr. Lane, are you still teaching at the university?” asked Casper.
Wyatt shook his head. However, he seemed to notice what Casper was trying to say. “You’re the onewho didn’t show up in class for a long time. I purposely checked your attendance. You seem busy latelythat you don’t even have time for classes.”
“Indeed, I’m busy. I didn’t expect there would be so many things to handle. Mr. Lane, I’m wondering ifyou’re interested…”
Before Casper could finish his words, Wyatt knew what was on his mind.
He took a sip of water calmly. “Of course, I’m interested. I always wanted a place to show off my talentafter I left home…” He stopped and didn’t finish his sentence. He then looked up at Casper.Immediately, the latter saw a glimmer of longing in his eyes.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds and burst into laughter. They were in sync right away.Casper gave the Tycoon’s CEO position to Wyatt with power equal to his. Except for some importantmatters, he would let Wyatt handle the business for him.
As a matter of fact, Casper only let Wyatt take care of Tycoon for the time being. Wyatt was too clever.Hence, he had to be careful. He would only consider giving him more power after they got along formore time.
“I’ll bring you there tomorrow, and also, I will arrange a good place for you to stay.” Casper glanced atthe hostel and found it was a mess.
“It’s okay. I’ll just stay here.” Wyatt stood up and took an apple out from the fridge. “Do you want one?”
Casper waved his hand. “No, thanks. Are you going to continue staying at the university?” Casper waspuzzled. Is Wyatt not planning to resign?novelbin
“Huh? Don’t tell me you want me to become a full-time CEO?” Wyatt took a bite of the apple andcontinued vaguely, “I know very well you won’t give everything for me to handle. Tycoon is not all youhave. Don’t worry! I will try my best to run Tycoon for you. I will take three hours to work there everyday. It’s just a hotel, and I can handle it.”
Nonetheless, Casper was still a bit worried. “After all, Tycoon is one of the biggest hotels in Horington.The daily transactions are more than several hundred thousand.” Wyatt didn’t have any experience inhotel management. Hence, it was a bit bold when he said he would spend only three hours a daymanaging it.
Wyatt finished the apple in his hand in just two bites. “That’s why you are so busy because you have todeal with things which you don’t have to. You have to pay attention to the details but not everything. Infact, you can earn more money than picking up a note from the floor. You’re a boss. Don’t doeverything on your own. But of course, if you’re busy dating, just ignore my words.”
Casper was speechless as Wyatt was too observant.
The sky was almost dark when Casper walked out of Wyatt’s hostel. He remembered that he hadpromised Stallion to go to the gambling resort. Hence, he didn’t go back to his dorm but took a taxi andwent to the place Stallion mentioned.
The underground gambling resort was livelier at night. Casper followed Stallion and circled in the alleya few times before they went into a remote place. When the guard at the door saw Casper, he quicklystubbed out the cigarette and stood up. “Mr. Simpson!”
