Chapter 245: Money Making
"It's not a big deal," I brushed it off with a casual wave of my hands, acting cool and composed. Truthfully, I saw this scenario playing out in my mind already.
I wanted to feel like a hotshot since I was still a NEET; just hearing a beautiful girl calling me boss made me excited. I'm currently living the life right now—I own a company, I'm rich, and surrounded by beautiful women.
And in my mind, I would get a beautiful assistant that I could fuck whenever I'm bored in my desk, completing my office fantasies.
On the side note, the other girl at the desk seemed starstruck, her eyes widening as if she just saw a celebrity.
"Miss Elaine is waiting in the office; she's currently in a meeting with someone," she informed me.
"Oh? We already have a client?" I inquired.
"Yes boss, he saw our sign while depositing money in the bank below."
"Great, I'll meet him then," I said with a smile. It's not every day a financially irresponsible person walks in to give me their hard-earned money.
"I'll lead the way, boss, my name is Yae," she introduced herself.
"Nice to meet you, Yae," I nodded with a simple smile.

Entering the office caused everyone to give a double look. The four other girl employees, mid-gossip, froze, turning their gaze towards me. Their eyes widened with admiration after seeing my face.
"Who's that hottie?"
"He looks like an idol."
Whispers buzzed among them, their muted voices carrying a mix of surprise and fascination. Though they tried to mask their interest, the subtle widening of their eyes betrayed their attempt to act composed.
I responded with a small, friendly smile, causing them to blush and avoid eye contact.
'I'll fuck you girls later,' I thought to myself.
As I made my way towards the office, I left the girls immersed in their daydreams and fantasies about me.
*CLICK!
I turned the knob on the office door and entered. Well, I own this place, so who needs manners, right?
"What do you mean you can't explain how you earn money?" a middle-aged man banged the table the moment I entered.
It seemed he was grilling Elaine about our business, but even she couldn't explain because, truth be told, we didn't really have a way to earn money in the first place.
I couldn't help but grin at the absurdity of the situation.
"Well," I chimed in, "I can explain this more."
The man stared at me, utterly baffled, while Elaine tried to hide her sigh of relief. I casually stood there, enjoying his confused expression.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"I'm the best financial advisor in the world," I proclaimed.
"Bold words, young man. Do you know who I am?" The middle-aged man clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"Nope, and I don't really care. All you have to know is, I've never lost anything in the stock market my whole life," I declared. I wasn't really lying because I hadn't tried the stock market to begin with.
"You never lose? Young man, I've been in the stock market business for two decades. Those who claim they never lost are a bunch of younglings who must have made it big by luck. Let me guess? You bought some Bitcoin, and now you think you're some kind of big shot just because you made some lucky guess?" The middle-aged man sneered in contempt.
"Oh, you're into stocks too?" I was intrigued. I'd been planning to manipulate some stockbrokers to get access to their rich clients, and this guy here might make that easier for me.
Looking at him closely, I could tell that what he was wearing was all expensive—coat, shoes, even his watch screamed money.
"Yes," he replied smugly.
"How about you hear my proposal first?" I challenged, motioning for Elaine to stand so I could take a seat.
"Alright, cut to the chase. How can you guarantee I won't lose my investment?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Well, my strategy is simple .I will take your money, and..."" I paused for a moment, building anticipation.
"And what?"
"And make it my money," I chuckled, delivering the punchline.
[Suggestion: Success]
"Now that you're my client, how much money do you have?" I asked, tapping the table.
"I have around 2.8 billion won in total stock portfolio and 200 million won in cash."
"Oh, then sell 1 billion won worth of stocks that you don't expect to get big returns and invest it in my company," I instructed him.
Asking for every penny from this guy would surely cause questions. For instance, his family might ask where he put all his assets. But if he still has money to spare, they won't know until it's too late.
"Alright," he nodded.
"I want you to transfer the money through our investment company. Elaine will handle the rest. You will follower all her request, " I added.
I needed to ensure that Elaine could control this man even without my presence. The best way to do that was to program him. I also realized the need to form a team of business-oriented people. It would be too much pressure for her to handle everything as we expand.
"Do you have a job?" I asked him.
"I'm working for one of the biggest investment funds in Korea, ALGOS VENTURE," he replied.
"ALGOS VENTURE?" I repeated his words. I remembered this company because it was the same company that was handling my parents' stock portfolio. It seemed that this guy was quite smart to be able to work there. Your journey continues on m-vle-mpyr
This was great news for me. Scamming money was good and all, but if I could earn legitimate money, that would be even better.
I would ask this guy to teach me the basics of stocks, then I would make him my mole so I could predict the market much better.
But that's a story for the future. Right now, I'm swamped with so many things, playing the Wolf of Wall Street Korean version would be a hassle.
"I want you to give me your client's address and contacts," I commanded him.
I could ask him to have his clients personally come to me, but that would raise too much suspicion. It would be much easier for me to visit them and convince them that their money was in safe hands.
After gathering all the information, I took notes and reorganized my list from the richest to the poorest. This way, I could accumulate more money and eventually buy my dream skyscraper.
Just imagining living the rest of my life in a place filled with hundreds of beautiful women was enough to put me in a good mood for this entire day.
