The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family



As he spoke, Zachary then said, "I actually got a student from the Academy of Fine Arts to paint the Oskian version of the Mona Lisa painting for five hundred dollars per piece. I would generally ask for a price of a little over eighty thousand dollars for it on Antique Street, and if I manage to sell such a pair, I generally would not set up my stall for two months, then. It is also mainly because I'm afraid that people will come looking for me."

Charlie asked him, "How do you usually deal with it when others come looking for you?"

Zachary forced a laugh twice and then explained, "If they come to find me, it will certainly be because they want a refund. I usually look at the person, and if I can afford to provoke him and go against him, I would fight to the end. Anyway, my basic principle of doing business on Antique Street is to never give a refund."

Charlie asked again, "What if you cannot afford to provoke the person, then?"

Zachary scratched his head and said, "My first option is usually to run if I encounter someone that I cannot afford to offend."

Charlie nodded and laughed as he said, "So, you're not able to settle every single order. How much can you make in a year?"

Zachary did some calculations in his head and smiled as he said, "If I were to count all kinds of circumstances, I can generally make about four to five hundred thousand dollars a year."

Charlie nodded and said, "Why don't we do this then, Zachary? I will give you a basic salary of eight hundred thousand dollars a year. After this, you don't need to set up your antique stall to swindle people anymore. You should clean up your act, follow Albert, and obey all of his instructions."

When Zachary heard these words, he was immediately dumbfounded.

He never would have dreamt that Charlie would ask him to stay and work for Albert.

He was shocked, and he could not help but speak up and ask, "M-Master Wade... I am just a nobody. So, why would you think of letting me work for Don Albert?!"

Charlie laughed and said, "Albert is brave and fierce, but he is still lacking when it comes to being resourceful, he can have a person like you by his side to act as his advisor, would definitely be a good thing for him." Charlie really appreciated certain advantages in Zachary. Although this guy came from a lowly background, he could definitely be considered

well-informed, and most importantly, he had a very fast reaction speed. His ability to adapt to the situation was also much better compared to an average person.

It would indeed be a bit of a waste if such a person was placed in Antique Street to swindle people out of a few hundred thousand dollars a year.

So, he looked at Zachary and spoke up as he asked, "Do you want to think about it?

You can give me a clear answer after considering it."

"There's no need to consider anything!" Zachary hurriedly said, "Master Wade, I'm willing to follow and work hard for you and Don Albert!" For Zachary, it was not easy for him to make a living on Antique Street.

He did not only have to deliberately design various schemes to deceive people, but he also had to be alert in case others came looking for him.dn addition, he was not very well-liked on Antique Street, and many of his peers looked at him unfavorably. He was constantly being ostracized by others, and it was also a common occurrence for his stall to be

vandalized.

So, he had been looking forward to the opportunity to be able to depend on someone reliable. That way, his future life would be much easier and better.

Charlie nodded in satisfaction and said," Why don't we do this, then? I will give Albert a call, and you should go to The Heaven Springs to look for him later." Zachary never would have thought that Charlie would ask him to go and speak to Albert directly.

If he were to follow by Albert's side, he did not dare to say that he would be invincible in Aurous Hill, but absolutely no one would dare to provoke him, then!

As Zachary thought of this, he nodded excitedly and bowed repeatedly as he kept repeating, "Okay, Master Wade! Thank you, Master Wade!"
