Face-Slapping System

Chapter 27 Setting Up

After circling around the campus a few times, Roland and Butler Frank finally saw a property that was for sale.

This place was only a few blocks away from the university and was also near the Blue City Mall where Stacey was working as a manager.

Although this place looks chaotic due to the houses being clustered together, Roland thought that it had great potential as it was near the school and near the mall. There was also a lot of traffic on the street, so it was a perfect place to set up a fast-food restaurant building.

Butler Frank immediately contacted the phone number provided on the notice board right in front of the property.

Shortly after, they met with the property's owner. After some discussion, they agreed to buy the entire property for 15 Global Dollars per square meters. The lot was only 600 square meters, so Roland paid a total of 9,000 Global Dollars to the owner.

Fifteen Global Dollars for such a place was actually quite a bargain, considering that the owner actually priced it at 20 Global Dollars per square meter before. But with Butler Frank's haggling, they managed to tone it down to 15 Global Dollars with the condition that Roland must pay the whole sum upfront.

With Butler Frank's expertise, the matter regarding the contract and property title was easily handled. It was of convenience that Butler Frank was actually also a lawyer. He mentioned that it was part of his job description when he accepted the task of being his personal butler.

Yes, personal butler and not the Pure Dew Villa's Butler. The same thing applied to the maids and the other workers that were now at the villa. They were all for Roland and were not workers hired by the villa's seller or management.

And with that, Roland managed to save a lot of Global Dollars from hiring a lawyer.

Hearing that, Roland suspected that it was the System who arranged it that way and it might be kind of a freebie for the villa acquisition reward.

After the contract was settled, they immediately signed the other paperwork's and transferred the property title to Roland. Roland paid another 90 Global Dollars for the tax.

Fortunately, Roland already set up his online banking application so there was no longer any need to go to an automated teller machine just to withdraw money.

They then set up and registered the upcoming restaurant online which Roland conveniently named as 'Sparkling Buds' which just simply means that those who eat there will have their taste buds sparkling due to the taste of the foods.

Although Roland did not elaborate further about this yet, Butler Frank just listened and did what he was told without asking any question.

With the help of Butler Frank, Roland finally finished a lot of work.

Initially, Butler Frank actually expressed that Roland should just let him handle this matter, but Roland insisted that he must be present on the scene. He wanted to oversee the entire process as this was the start of his tycoon journey.

Roland has big ambitions; he won't stop at just a simple small restaurant and in such a small city.

The Fore City was only an H-Grade City in Oceanic Province.

In the entire Oceanic Province, Fore City could only be ranked around at the bottom of the province when it comes to overall wealth of the citizens.

However, although Fore City was just a small city, Roland thought that this was vital for his growth. He knew that he can't simply start big, especially if he was still ignorant about all things.

After the matter was settled, Roland and Butler Frank returned to the Pure Dew Villa.

There, Roland told Butler Frank about his plans about the upcoming restaurant.

Butler Frank only listened and did not express anything. However, deep inside his heart, he was already thinking that Roland was quite rash. Nevertheless, he did not express any dissatisfaction and answered all of his questions and offered all of his suggestions honestly.

With Butler Frank's help and connection, they found an architect to design the building for the restaurant. As Roland did not want to meddle about such technicalities anymore, he decided to let Butler Frank handle it as well as the construction works.

He deposited a total of 50,000 Global Dollars to Butler Frank's bank account and gave him full autonomy of the construction of the restaurant.

Roland only has two requirements for him, "Don't make it too fancy, but not too ordinary either. It's best if the restaurant operates before the new year."

"About the workers, you can post a hiring notice for the crews. As for the managerial position and the head chef, let me handle it. I have someone in mind already."

Roland felt a little guilty for handing Butler Frank this much work. However, as usual, Butler Frank insisted that it was alright and that he should just sit idle and let him, or them, the workers do the work.

p Roland could only lower his shoulder hearing his reasoning.

On the other hand, now that he was already free, he decided to head to the kitchen to finally try the chicken recipe that he bought from the System.

Once again, after learning that Roland wanted to go to the kitchen to cook chicken personally, Butler Frank once again 'asked' him to just let the chef do their job. However, after Roland explained that he wanted to try a new recipe he 'invented', Butler Frank could only let go of him reluctantly.

…

On the other hand, in a private plane flying towards a very rich country, a young and beautiful lady laid in the huge bed wearing a simple and elegant yellow gown made of expensive fabrics.

Not far away from her bed were maid servants ready to serve her on anything she wishes or desire.

Her ordinary phone rang all of a sudden as the young lady picked it up before answering, "Hello, mom?"

"Stacey babyyyy. Where are you now? Your daddy is already on his way home, hurry up so that you won't be late to the 'party'."
