Chapter 25
Despite being arrogant at school, Barry didn’t dare to complain in this respect. He knew very well that the leader of that circle could completely ruin his future in Yrinas with a single sentence. Moreover, not only Barry himself but even his own father would also be chased out of there as well.
As Barry was lying in bed, thinking about meeting that big shot, he suddenly received a message on his phone.
His heart skipped a beat when he saw the sender’s name. Then, Barry opened the message sent by an elder about something Barry had requested. The contents of the message made him ecstatic.
That big shot had agreed to meet Barry tomorrow.
Although Barry understood that many people wanted to join the circle, and the big shot had invited everyone to come and meet him tomorrow, he felt extremely honored to have the opportunity. It would serve as a great experience for him to brag about in the future.
After receiving the news, Barry was too excited to sleep. He sat up and began rehearsing how he should behave when he met the big shot tomorrow.
It was late at night. At three o’clock in the morning, in the office of Grand Triumphant Hotel, Robert rubbed his temples and glanced at the spiced coffee brewed that had long ago lost its taste. Drowsiness kept creeping up on him.
Robert couldn’t bear it anymore. He closed the document in front of him. Although he suddenly inherited a large family business, he knew very well that if he didn’t work hard, no matter how much his father gave him, he would lose. money until he went bankrupt sooner or later.
No one could afford to lose billions of dollars, let alone himself.
Since Robert suddenly got a lot of money, he worked even harder. He kept taking notes and memorizing things all night.
In this process, some ideas to deal with the Zabel family formed in Robert’s mind, but he still needed time to improve them.
After checking the time, Robert covered himself with a blanket and fell asleep.
At eight o’clock in the morning. Robert rubbed his sleepy eyes amid the ringing of the alarm and went to the hotel’s buffet–styled cafeteria for breakfast.
At the same time, Barry, dressed in a suit, came to the cafeteria of Grand Triumphant Hotel with an excited heart.
He didn’t sleep all night and came to Grand Triumphant Hotel early in the morning. He planned to order breakfast and wait to meet the big shot.
Last night, he also heard from the elder that the meeting place today was at Grand Triumphant Hotel.
As soon as Barry took some food and sat on his seat, he saw Robert not far away. He instantly felt anger rise in him, and most of his initial good mood dissipated.
After graduating yesterday, Barry thought he would be able to stand above the crowd at the job fair. After all, almost no student could start a company as soon as they graduated. Hence, he could definitely steal the limelight. True enough, he did cause a stir right before the job fair started.
But later, Barry became a foil for Robert. The former was even compared with the latter and was mocked.
As Barry remembered that scene, his face turned red with anger. To make matters worse, all of that was an illusion created by Robert with money.
The more Barry thought about it, the angrier he became. He thought indignantly, “Robert spent money yesterday to put on an act, but today he wanted to show off in Grand Triumphant Hotel again?”
Then, Barry had an idea. Holding the plate in his hand, he ambled to Robert and sat down in front of him.
“Oh, isn’t this Robert? Why? Have you come to this five–star hotel for breakfast? Who are you trying to copy?” Barry glanced at Robert’s plate. It was filled to the brim with food, which made Barry curl his lips in distaste. He continued, “You know, the purpose of a buffet–style cafeteria is to let people have the freedom to choose what they want to eat, not for some people to stuff their faces.”
