The Arrogance System: I Become Richer Chapter 71 - When Family Calls
Olivia was halfway through a problem set when her phone lit up with a name she hadn't seen in weeks.Mother.She looked at it for a moment the way she looked at most things from that side of her life, carefully and with caution, the way you looked at weather that might or might not be coming toward you.Despite her reservations, she eventually had to pick it up."Hi, Mom.""Olivia." Her mother's voice had the particular brightness it took on during calls that were really about something else. "I hope I'm not interrupting?""I'm studying.""Of course you are." A deliberate pause on the other end. "I won't keep you then. I just wanted to mention that your father had dinner with Lacoste earlier this week."Olivia set her pen down.She kept her voice even. "Okay?""Just business talk. Nothing of consequence." Her mother said it dismissively before her words were properly examined. "But Lacoste mentioned his son. Kelvin, I believe. Apparently he's been involved in some kind of dispute with
The Arrogance System: I Become Richer Chapter 70 - Liquidity
The bank meeting ended at eleven forty-three.Adam knew the exact time because he checked his watch when the relationship manager stood to shake his hand.The meeting lasted an hour and seventeen minutes.It felt longer.He walked out of the building into the grey Friday morning that felt dull and oppressive and stood on the pavement for a moment before moving toward his car.Melissa was already in the passenger seat.She'd attended as Titan's financial officer, which was not technically her title but was technically accurate, and had sat across the table from the bank's two representatives with the composed readiness of someone who had prepared for every question and was mildly disappointed they hadn't asked harder ones.Adam got into the car.Neither of them said anything immediately so he silently pulled out into traffic."Well," he said, after two blocks."They'll probably follow up in writing," Melissa said. "Nothing in the room suggested they were moving toward anything drastic.
The Arrogance System: I Become Richer Chapter 69 - Booked Elsewhere
On Thursday morning, Adam received a call from one of Titan Maintenance contractors. Harfield Contractors.He was between things when it came in.The bank meeting was tomorrow and he'd spent the better part of Wednesday evening going through Melissa's question list until the answers came without thinking.So he picked up on the second ring."Adam." It was Soren, the site lead he'd worked with at Harfield for most of Titan's active project pipeline. Reliable and direct, the kind of man who said what he meant without preamble. "I wanted to call you directly rather than let this come through the scheduling system."Something in the delivery made Adam sit up slightly. "Go ahead.""We're not going to be available for the Meridian project. I know the timeline and I know what that means for your scheduling and I'm sorry for it." Soren paused. "We've got a… commitment that came in last week and it overlaps directly.""What kind of commitment?"A brief silence. "A significant one and long term
The Arrogance System: I Become Richer Chapter 68 - The Risk Assessment
The breakdown arrived on Wednesday morning.It was fourteen pages long.Melissa had gotten it before Adam did — she'd put herself as the secondary contact on the request, which he hadn't told her to do and wasn't surprised she had.By the time he got to the office she'd already read it twice and had three pages of her own notes sitting beside it.He poured his coffee and sat across from her."Tell me," he said.She opened her notes. "The assessment covers six areas. Project portfolio volatility, client concentration risk, subcontractor dependency, market exposure, payment cycle consistency, and something they're calling operational stability index, which isn't a standard metric and which I've never seen on an insurance document before.""Invented for the occasion.""Possibly. Or borrowed from somewhere obscure enough that it looks legitimate on paper." She turned a page. "The first five categories are fine. Our scores are average to above average across all of them. Nothing that would
The Arrogance System: I Become Richer Chapter 67 - Terms Have Changed
The letter arrived on a Monday morning.It wasn't an email but an actual letter, printed on company letterhead and folded into thirds.Adam's name on the envelope, Titan's address below it. He found it in the small stack of physical mail an employee sorted every morning and left on the corner of his desk.He almost didn't open it first.There were three emails that needed responses before nine and a site report he'd promised to review before the contractor called at ten.The letter looked administrative which was business lingo for the kind of thing that could wait until the afternoon without consequence.He opened it anyway due to some instinct, not quite alarm, just attention.It was from Delbrook Supplies.Adam read it once quickly, then again slowly.Delbrook had been supplying materials to Titan for fourteen months, since before Adam had taken over, inherited along with the office and the org chart and the faded logo on the company letterhead.They were reliable, mid-range on pri
The Arrogance System: I Become Richer Chapter 66: Same Guy
Jiang's text arrived on Thursday evening with the energy of a natural disaster.—brother. dinner. now. I'm outside your building and I can hear your brain working from here.Adam looked at his phone, looked at the spreadsheet he'd been staring at for forty minutes, and looked at his phone again. He typed:— I'm working, can't come.—you're always working. I brought the good news from Engineering which is that I passed my thermodynamics exam and you have to celebrate with me because we're brothers and that's the law.Adam thought about the spreadsheet.He thought about the payment windows and the notation he'd been trying to make sense of for the better part of an hour.He also thought about the fact that he'd eaten lunch at his desk again and couldn't remember if he'd had breakfast.— Give me ten minutes.—I'm timing youHe saved the spreadsheet, closed his laptop, and grabbed his jacket.On the way out he passed Melissa's desk — she'd alr
The Arrogance System: I Become Richer 8 - An intimate conversation
Startled at the unexpected question, Adam stumbled over his next words. Misunderstanding his lack of answer as implied consent, Olivia brought up her phone immediately. "I might know someone who can help us... If we call the police-" she began rambling, her hands trembling. Talking her hands int
The Arrogance System: I Become Richer 7 - Do you have your kidneys?
Adam leaned back slightly in his chair, his expression neutral despite the shifting tension around the table.Olivia was still standing.Melissa was still seated.Daniel glanced between all three of them like he'd just walked into a conversation halfway through and deci
The Arrogance System: I Become Richer 6 - A complicated meeting
The new place was far better than Adam's former living area which didn't say much considering the price he paid for it.It had a wide living area. The floor was tiled edge-to-edge, each piece evenly laid without cracks or uneven lines. The walls were clean and uniformly painted white.A wooden stai
The Arrogance System: I Become Richer 5 - Adjust your policy
Walking on the busy sidewalk with a backpack sling over his arm, Adam thought about his actions towards Roberts.He didn't exactly regret speaking his mind but he had acted fully on emotions which was unlike him."Arrogance system, huh?" he muttered."Leaving Roberts place is for the best but was i
