Both Heath and Francis, smoking by the window, were startled. They exchanged nces and then


    walked over to Sunny.


    “Sunny, what’s going on?”


    When Francis saw the content of that post, he jumped int shock.


    Heath, unaware that Carlisle had bought properties in Riverwatch District, looked at the two of them


    with confusion.


    Sunny took deep breaths, trying his best to calm himself down.


    Riverwatch District was really going to be developed.


    Carlisle had bought properties worth eight million, and now they had multiplied by five. That meant they


    could sell for over 40 million.


    Sunny couldn’t help but shiver thinking of this figure.


    He suddenly remembered what Carlisle had said to him.


    “Work hard with me, and you’ll earn more than four million in the future!”


    He hadn’t taken it seriously then, thinking Carlisle was just brainwashing him.


    But now, Sunny believed it.


    Carlisle was just a freshman in college and only 18 years old, but he dared to invest all his assets.


    Moreover, he had turned eight million into 40 million within three days.


    He disyed remarkable courage and business acumen! He would surely be on par with Yuriel in the


    future.


    Francis lit a cigarette, his lips quivering as he said, “It seems I didn’t choose the wrong person to


    follow.”


    Heath, looking puzzled, said, “But… What does Riverwatch District’s development have to do with us?”


    Sunny took a deep breath and asked, “What if I told you that Boss bought properties worth 8 million in


    Riverwatch District?”


    “What?”


    Heath’s cigarette fell to the ground, his eyes wide with disbelief. “Are you kidding me?”


    Sunny remained silent. He slowly sat down, holding onto the chair’s armrest.


    Heath looked at Francis, who nodded and said, “He did buy some properties.”


    Heath narrowed his eyes and said, “No wonder he didn’t even blink when I mentioned ten million!”


    Sunny wondered. “Do you think the boss received news about Riverwatch District’s development in

    advance?”


    2.2


    Francis shook his head. “It’s unlikely. Even if he did, it should be from those property developers.”


    Sunny continued specting. “Maybe the boss has connections with the higher–ups?”


    Heath replied, “If he received the news three days in advance, then his connections are quite


    terrifying!”


    Francis took a drag from his cigarette and exhaled, saying, “Don’t pry into the boss‘ affairs. We’re just


    employees. Let’s focus on our own tasks. I believe the boss won’t mistreat us.”


    Both Heath and Sunny nodded in agreement.


    When Carlisle picked up his phone at school, he saw over 30 missed calls from Lethan


    There was a hint of a smile on Carlisle’s face.


    It seemed like news about Riverwatch District’s development had already been released.


    He called Lethan back.


    Lethan immediately picked up the phone. “Wow, it’s really hard to reach you!”


    Carlisle chuckled. “I’m in military training, so I can’t contact you in time. Sorry about that.”


    Lethan didn’t beat around the bush and said, “Riverwatch District is indeed going to be developed.


    Property prices in the entire Riverwatch District have multiplied by five instantly. How much do you n


    to sell Riverwatch Hotel for?”


    Carlisle didn’t seem too excited. He just smiled faintly, “Multiplying by five is definitely an


    understatement.


    “Riverwatch District will have a high–speed rail station and a subway station. It will be Rivend’s


    central hub in the future; even the city council building will be relocated there.


    “I believe property prices will skyrocket to about ten times their current value in this wave of


    development!


    “So, you mean our Riverwatch Hotel can be sold for 360 million?” Lethan asked, narrowing his eyes.


    Shania was a real estate developer, and her final price assessment was also around 360 million.


    Could Carlisle’s valuation match that of a real estate developer?


    Carlisle smiled and said, “If it’s put up for auction, I think it could sell for about 400 million!”


    Lethan fell silent and said, “Carlisle, I’ve sold Riverwatch Hotel for 360 million to Shania.


    “She’s a real estate developer and needs Riverwatch Hotel as capital to seize market share in the


    Riverwatch District development. So, I can only offer you 180 million!”
