Chapter 42: I Need some million YuanStepping out of the elevator, Lawrence, Albert and Noah walked towards the already prepared VIP room exclusively reserved for people like presidents or those with huge influences and a billion dollar assets.Looking at the table filled with all sort of dishes, he has never heard of, Lawrence couldn't help but sighed, wondering what sort of spirit was inside his body that made him act and wish to keep pretending to be poor. Upon sitting down, the waiters, three beautiful ladies that Lawrence could swear can compete with most celebrities when it comes to only their beauties came forwards to serve them the foods and open the drinks for them. As soon as they were done, they quickly left the place without hesitation, shutting the down close.Lawrence admire their professionalism."Law... Young master..." "Call me Lawrence." Lawrence cut Noah off, he felt uncomfortable seeing elderly people calling him young masters. "But..." Noah couldn't bring himse

Today, after Jasmine returned from the outing with Lawrence, she felt different from before.Especially the more she remembered how Lawrence stood up for her right before those gangs despite knowing full well he could not defeat them all, it made her heart beat faster, a feeling she found hard to describe and worst part was she blushed slightly at it."Jasmine, get a hold of yourself. He is your student. And a student and teacher relationship is a no-no thing." she subconsciously said, pushing her face into her pillow and letting out a muffled girlish groan.If her father Albert were here, he would have danced in happiness knowing this was the sign of a girl falling for a guy.Just when her imagination was going far, her phone suddenly started ringing, snapping her out of her thoughts. She picked the call without checking the caller."Hello?""Miss Jasmine, where are you? Have you forgotten our agreement?"Upon hearing the perverted old man's voice, Jasmine's mood instantly soured and

"Landlady, I will pay. Just give me your account number and I’ll pay all the year’s rent and add three times the amount to it," Lawrence said, voice calm but eyes cold.He was already tired of all this drama. Good thing he would be moving out either tomorrow or the next day.The room went quiet for a second before laughter broke out. The landlady actually bent slightly forward, clutching her waist as if holding her ribs together."You? Pay three times? Hahaha!" she scoffed, the sneer curling up like she’d smelled expired milk."Lawrence, you can’t even pay one month without begging for mercy. Stop joking before I really tell these boys to warm you up! You know I've pitied you since you came from an orphanage and didn't make you pay that much. I heard you took your classmates to a high-end hotel and you dare still hold my payment?! Do you believe I can have you beaten right now?"The three thugs chuckled, exchanging looks of open contempt. One even rolled his shoulders as if warming up

With that, the two quickly prepared and headed for Paradise Square. Thankfully, there was no class today, meaning Yao Yue and Lawrence were free to go wherever they wanted.Ultimately, they met at one place.Lawrence, who had just woken up in his small rental apartment, did a few push-ups, freshened up, threw on some neat, simple clothes, and then hailed a cab to Paradise Square.He had come back late last night and didn’t have time to buy new clothes. All he could hope for was that nothing humiliating would happen today.It was already past the morning rush hour, so it only took Lawrence half an hour to reach Paradise Square. After paying off the driver, he stepped out and immediately spotted the towering office building that—starting today—would belong to him.After taking a moment to reflect, he headed toward the management office of the square. However, the place was massive, one of the largest commercial hubs in Light City, and he eventually got lost.“Uhm, excuse me, can you tel

Meanwhile, in the manager's office at the Paradise Square."A big congratulations to you, Mr. Wilson. Office Building A at Paradise Square now officially belongs to you!" Chelsea said as Lawrence signed the final document, making it officially legally binding.Clap!Clap!Clap!The few people inside clapped after seeing this."Thank you, Manager Chelsea. From now on, I will leave the management of that building to you. I will just focus on collecting the money. All I request is for corruption and bribery to not be the main thing here, but rather making the building go higher." Lawrence said with a broad smile as he was clearly in a good mood."Hahaha! Not a problem, honorable Mr. Wilson! Leave that to me! Whosoever accepts bribery will have no choice but to cough out ten times that amount and be kicked out of the building!"Chelsea said eagerly; he was pleased to see Lawrence being so agreeable and readily spout those self-righteous words.Of course, Lawrence knew it was hard for Chel
