Chapter 96 Buying Grocery Stores Again

When Wendy got back to the room that she was staying with Angy, she was in high spirits. She had left hurriedly without saying where she was going. And seeing her like this, Angy was curious about what she had gone to do.r

"What made you so happy?" Angy asked curiously.r

It was only when Angy asked this question that Wendy realized that she had been smiling all this while. She blushed for a moment before regaining her composure. "What are you talking about?" She pretended not to know what Angy was talking about.r

"Young lady, there's nothing that you can hide from me. You left hurriedly not long ago. Now you're coming back, you're so happy as if you want to compete with the moon with that shiny face of yours." Angy said as she looked at Wendy. It was obvious that she was not willing to give up unless Wendy told her there truth.r

Wendy took a deep breath and said, "Well, I just went over to invite Jack to come with us for our trip to visit the beautiful scenes around the western province. And you know what? He agreed!" Wendy said enthusiastically.r

She and Angy had been friends since they were children. And now that they had grown up, they still talked to each other and shared their own secrets. Although not all the secrets were said, at least ninety nine percent of them were shared.r

"Yeah, he's your fiancé and he should agree. That's the least that he should do. After all, in at most a year and two months, you two are going to get married. But he still is taking women in the hotel. Have you asked him about that lady?" Angy wasn't as enthusiastic as Wendy, when she heard that Jack had agreed to going on a trip to enjoy themselves.r

Her impression of Jack had dropped last night when she saw Denali entering Jack's suite. Furthermore, even though the two of them were engaged, she had never seen Jack being intimate with Wendy.r

At the mention of Jack sharing his suite with another woman, Wendy's previous excited expression disappeared. She too wanted to know who that lady was, but Jack hadn't told her a word when she asked him this morning.r

Now that Angy had reminded her about it, she couldn't be happy any longer. She had to invite him while he himself invited another lady. This kind of treatment was by far different from how Jack treated the other lady with.r

But, she couldn't blame him as he was not the one that had initiated the engagement. Furthermore, the engagement was planned by her family and his, without even he himself knowing about it.r

But, although she didn't know what kind of relationship Jack had with that woman, she had faith in herself that she would manage to make him love her just like she loved him.r

"Leave that aside for now. Can we talk about something else? I'm sure that the lady was there for business issues." Wendy tried shifting the topic.r

Angy on the other hand wasn't ready to let this go. She looked at Wendy with disbelief and a tinge of anger as she reprimanded her, "Wake up girl! You can't just believe in such a thing. What kind of business is discussed at night in a hotel? At least they can take a private box to talk about business."r

Wendy couldn't find words to refute what Angy had said. But all the same , what could she do? Jack had already told her to give up on him and he wasn't the one that was insisting on her being his fiancée. So, he wasn't restricted to not getting together with other women because of an engagement that he knew nothing about, with a girl that he didn't know.r

"I'll make sure that he forgets about all the other women." Wendy said.r

'It doesn't matter if you're not courageous enough to face him and tell him what you have in your heart. Since you can't do that, I, your sister will do that for you. I want to see him behave like that in our presence again.' Angy thought to herself as she swore to herself to make Jack responsible for his fiancée.r

….r

Not knowing that there were some plans that were being cooked up somewhere, Jack went back into the suite and took the laptop that Denali had left on the table.r

He decided to go through all this information as it consisted of all the information that he had to know as the owner of the few companies under him. Furthermore, there were other pieces of information about the employees that were under him.r

Jack could tell that this information was gotten by Denali after a night of hacking. The information was well organized in folders. There were different categories that made it easy for Jack to look for the information that he wanted.r

There was a folder of each company that was under him. Additionally, inside each of these folders, there were different folders that had the information about the employees, current activities, expenditure, cooperation with other companies, competitors and so on.r

Currently, Jack wanted to make Good Vision Security Limited a monopoly in the security sector. Currently, it was worth at least $300B. As such, he thought that it would be easy for him to develop it unlike the others that were valued lower than it.r

He could do one thing at a time. After making sure that one was stable and had really monopolized the market, he could then focus on another as he would be sure that the earnings from this side would be enough to enable him to develop another industry.r

In the medicine research, he was sure that the strength pill would be enough to boost the value of the Brightway Medical Research Centre. And if he was lucky to get another recipe for a drug to a certain disease, he was sure that he would be able to easily make the research centre reach the top.r

As for the competition, he was sure that they couldn't compete with the recipes that came from the system.r

It took a few hours for Jack to read through all the files that he thought were important. With his ability to remember, he didn't forget about what he'd read easily. Although there were a few parts that he might need to confirm, those were the parts that he didn't focus in remembering them.r

He was done now and could be considered to know a few things about his companies. This was surely enough for him to make decisions for the company.r

What's more, he could see that there were indeed several changes that needed to be made. It seemed that Denali had worked overnight or had woken up earlier in the morning to search for the information about them.r

After all, even the incidents that these people could consider hidden, Jack found them and had read through them. In other words, most of the secrets that they were hiding had already been exposed to him.r

And, once he goes to the company, he would make the necessary changes. There would be no need for him to be patient with them considering that he still had a target to achieve.r

For his foundation, he thought that the five companies that would monopolize the market in the country would be good enough.r

He took a deep breath as he looked at the screen of the phone that had lit up. It was someone who he had no contact information calling him.r

He picked it up without hesitation. In these few days after getting the system, he had gotten used to getting calls from strangers.r

"Hello, who am I speaking to?" Jack asked.r

"Hello, I believe that I'm speaking to Mr Jackson?" A male voice asked.r

"Yes you are." Jack responded calmly.r

"Mr Jackson, I've received the information that you have acquired Serenity Residential Area. I'm Moses Kibonzo, the one that's in charge of the buildings. I don't know if you have any instructions for me?"r

Jack was surprised that this was the manager of the residential area. He had just read the information about him on the laptop not long ago. According to the information that he'd read, he knew that Moses was a straightforward and honest person. But, there was still a problem.r

The one that was helping him, the assistant manager, Shonzu, was corrupt. He had been using the residential area for his own benefits all this while. That was an example of the change that Jack wanted to make.r

"Oh, not at all. But soon, I'll send someone there to look at the Residential area. If there are any changes that need to be made will be decided at that time." Jack stated.r

"Okay then Mr Jackson." Moses replied before ending the call.r

At this moment, since he had already picked the phone, Jack decided to call another person. "Hello Mr Calvin, I would like to ask another favor of you."r

"Just like always Mr Jack, I'll help as long as I have the ability to do that. But, I can't promise anything." Calvin's calm reply came.r

Jack nodded as he thought of the other party's carefulness. But it was to be expected. He wasn't omnipotent in that he could promise anything. After all, there were things that were beyond him.r

"It's not that difficult, really. All I want is your assistance in getting grocery stores in venture city. As long as the owner is willing to sell it, then I'm willing to buy it. Of course, you'll get benefits as well. How about the usual ten percent? You'll get ten percent of the total cost of purchasing the stores." Jack threw the benefit.r

"Okay then Mr Jack. This can be completed within two days. Stores aren't that hard to acquire as long as one has money." Calvin replied.r

"But, I would like the best stores in the city. I don't want the smaller ones." Jack reminded.r

"Alright, no problem at all." Calvin replied before hanging up.r

Jack then called Grace.r

"Hello Mr Jack," Grace greeted.r

"Hello Grace, how are things there?" Jack asked.r

"Things are doing okay for now at least. But, there are a few gangsters who seem to be intent on making trouble for our stores." Grace replied.r

"Oh, I see. George had already informed me about that. Worry not, when I get back, I'll deal with them. But for now, I would like you to stabilize everything there as soon as possible before getting to venture city. Here, I'm also buying a few Grocery stores. They will be undergoing the renovation within next week and I hope that you can pay them a visit."r

"Okay boss. I'll make sure to handle things here as fast as possible." Grace replied confidently.r

"Okay then. But make sure that you're not saving money. I gave you the money so that you can spend." Jack reminded before hanging up the call.
