Chapter 113
Just as Carlisle was about to start the meeting, a knocking sound came from the door.
The landlord, Jean Windoff, opened the door and looked at the smoky room with a frown. “Could you kids. smoke less? People outside are about to call the fire department!” she scolded.
Carlisle chuckled nervously. “Jean, you’re just in time. Come in. I need to talk to you.‘
Francis couldn’t help but admire Jean’s slender figure as she walked in. When she glanced his way, he blushed and looked away.
“What’s up?” Jean asked, fanning herself as she entered the room.
Carlisle explained, “You still have a few vacant units, right? I’m thinking of renting them all.”
Jean’s eyes lit up with excitement as she sat down beside Carlisle. “Are you serious?”
Carlisle chuckled, shifting away slightly. “Why would I lie?”
Jean was worried about not being able to rent out those three apartments, and Carlisle’s proposal came as a relief. “But the price stays the same, okay?”
Carlisle gave her a reassuring smile. “Of course, I’ll pay the original price.
“You’re amazing, Carl! I’ll make sure to treat you well tonight,” Jean said, opening her arms wide for a hug.
Carlisle quickly dodged to the side.
Francis smirked and said, “Carlisle’s still young. Come to me if you need anything!”
Jean glanced at Francis with disdain. “You must be around 30 years old, right? I don’t like older men!”
Francis was surprised that being 30 was considered old. He awkwardly responded, “I’ve never had at
girlfriend!”
Jean scoffed, “Do you have a house, a car, or savings? Finding a girlfriend without those would be tougher than an elephant’s hide!”
“Jean, please leave. We have a meeting to attend,” Carlisle interrupted.
Jean pouted. “Do you think I’d spill your business secrets?” Despite her words, she sashayed out of the
room.
Carlisle continued, “This is our first meeting. I’ll keep it short since I have other matters to attend to.”
After a brief pause, he added, “Cameron is an experienced player in The Mystical Journey. He’s joining Team Mystical to manage it. Hank, I’d like you to assist Cameron in setting up Team Mystical’s gold. farming operations.”
Carlisle looked at Cameron and Hank
Cameron played The Mystical Journey to earn money for his sister’s medical bills. When Carlisle
mentioned gold farming, Cameron Immediately grasped what he was implying.
Hank chuckled and took a sip of Chardonnay. “Team Legendary hasn’t even started making a profit. Where would we get the money to set up another operation?”
Carlisle placed his backpack on the table and unzipped it, revealing 300 thousand dollars in
rs in cash.

The room fell silent immediately.
Sean stared at Carlisle in disbelief and blurted out, “Carl, did you rob a bank or something?”
Ignoring Sean’s comment, Carlisle continued, “Team Legendary will get an additional six computers, while Team Mystical will get ten extras.”
Carlisle took out 200 thousand dollars and placed it in front of Heath.
Heath was at a loss for words. He stuttered, “Carl… I… You…”
After all, they had only known each other for less than three days.
Despite this short time, Carlisle entrusted him with 200 thousand dollars, an amount that could cover the
cost of a house.
“My principle in hiring is trust. Since I’m leading this venture to make money with you all, I won’t doubt your abilities,” Carlisle said.
Carlisle then proceeded to assign new roles.
“Dragonaire Studio will be divided into four departments: Team Legendary, Team Mystical, Team
Darklord, and Team Techno,” he announced.
“Owen will lead Team Legendary, with Benjamin serving as his deputy. Cameron will lead Team Mystical. Heath will temporarily lead Team Darklord. Hank will be the head technician of Team Techno. And Francis will be my personal driver.”
After Carlisle finished assigning all the roles, Sean cautiously asked, “What about me?”
Carlisle teased, “You’re still in school. I won’t give you any duties to prevent you from getting distracted.”
Sean immediately protested, “That won’t do! If you don’t give me something to do, I won’t even feel like
going to school!”
Carlisle brushed off his complaints and turned to Heath and the others, asking, “Any more questions?”
Hank inquired, “How many people do we need for each department?”
After some thought, Carlisle replied, “One person for every six computers. The new hires will receive a monthly salary of 3000 dollars. Additionally, Team Techno needs to recruit more people.”
“Why does Team Techno need so many people? I can handle it on my own!” Hank exclaimed, taking another sip of Chardonnay.
“I have other plans in mind for you. For Team Techno, I’m looking for top-tier talent like you who can handle independent application development,” Carlisle clarified.
