Adrian and Clara had become completely numb by now as they remained frozen in their place, truly stupefied by the turn of events.
The entire situation was totally out of their expectations. Not even in their wildest dreams had they thought that they would receive such a response in return.
Looking at her parent's bewildered expressions, Sarina sighed. She kind of had already expected such reactions and wasn't very shocked about it.
But she also can't let the situation go on like this with only Forren speaking and her parents getting more and more astonished. After all, she had especially called Forren here to clarify all their doubts related to the project.
Standing up, she stepped behind the couch they were sitting on and gently nudged them, trying to shake them out of their stupor.
"Mom, dad. Back to world guys. Don't you have anything you guys want to confirm with Ms Forren."
Listening to Sarina's word, both of them finally snapped out of their reverie. Giving a dry laugh, Adrian looked at Forren and asked the questions that have been bothering him throughout this conversation.
"Are you sure this project is that profitable?"
"You are not lying to us, right?"
"How will we even do this?"
"Where will we build this resort?"
"How much will we exactly have to invest?"
Adrian asked all his questions together one by one without giving Forren any chance to reply.
Forren also didn't mind it that much. She definitely wouldn't even dare to criticize even if she wanted to. After all, the person asking them was her boss's father.
She didn't want to lose her job over such trivial matter.
"This project is definitely very profitable. I have already prepared everything we might need for it. In the next few days, I will look around for any suitable land for the resort.
As for the total investment, it should not exceed $2.2 Million which includes both the land and the construction both. With the state's economy on decline, the prizes of real state have come down as well.
But we also predict in the next few years, not only will it recover but even exceed the previous highest prize. By that time, the prizes of lands and houses will increase by 5 times at the very least.
Therefore, I highly recommend you that once this resort is complete and start its operation, you should begin preparations to open a second resort as well as soon as possible."
Forren briefed them, describing the potential and the importance of the resort in detail.
The more Adrian and Clara heard, the more shocked and flabbergasted they got. They had never expected that a casual idea from Sarina would even make a double graduate like Forren so excited that she came all the way to their small city and was even ready to work for them.
Glancing at her parents who were clearly swayed by Forren's words, Sarina knew it was her chance to add a final stroke and persuade them completely for once and for all.
"Mom dad, what do think now? Isn't this really worth a try. As Ms Forren has said, it is a hundred percent guaranteed profitable investment. Once successful, all our dreams will come true."
Sarina exclaimed; her words finally breaking the last straw of hesitation in their hearts as they somberly nodded in agreement.
"Yayyyyy! Thank you so much mom and dad for believing in me. I promise, this resort will change our lives completely."
Sarina excitedly exclaimed; happily jumping in her parent's arm in exhilaration. Deeply influenced by their daughter's enthusiasm, even Adrian and Clara felt very thrilled for their upcoming future.
The twins, though confused about everything that happened just now also innocently jumped in joy after seeing how delighted their parents and elder sister were.
For them, since their family is happy than they are also happy. Nothing else matters to them.
The joyous celebration continued over dinner as Forren, after completing the task assigned to her by Sarina, discussed the upcoming steps they had to take with Adrian and Clara.
The discussion went on for hours before Forren bid her farewell for the time being with the promise to finalize the site in the next few days and that they could visit it anytime over the weekend.
Returning back to her room, Sarina sighed in content. Only she knew how thrilled and elated she was with her parent's agreement to invest in this resort.
With this finalized, it felt like a heavy mountain had been lifted off her shoulders. Her parents now finally had a very clear path to success. And even if any problem does arise later, she had absolute confidence she will be able to handle it with Angel's help.
She will soon turn this single resort into a massive, leading real estate empire that people will look up to. Very soon everyone living in Country M and the entire world will know who Rowan family is.
'This resort, it was just the beginning of 'THE ROWAN EMPIRE.'
Sarina smugly thought as the first teacher for tonight's class appeared before here. Shaking off her remaining thoughts, she hurriedly got serious and immediately brought here entire focus on what the teacher was saying.
....
The next few days passed by just like that as they all once again got busy with their daily routine. The only difference this time was that Adrian and Clara had now dedicatedly started to read different kind of books related to business and hotel management.
Whenever they had any free time, a book and a pen will instantly appear in their hand as they read it thoroughly, highlighting any point they can't understand and would later search about it on Sarina's laptop.
Sarina initially didn't mind it, letting them do as they want but when they started to keep the laptop with them even at night, the time in which she usually writes her novel "The love against the novel" she knew she had to stop it.
After all, her novel, due to its unique and innovative but cliché storyline had not only caught the attention of all the editors but has also gotten the very rare golden contract which directly made her one of the highest paid writers on the site on the very second day she first signed up.
Not only that, the plot had attracted so much audience that the novel now had actual fan-clubs who are impatiently waiting for the next updates.
If nothing goes wrong then this months' royalties alone will easily exceed $20,000, which is literally equivalent to her parent's 4 months' salary.
And this was just the beginning. Since the story line was very lengthy, it will take quite a few months to complete. Sarina had no doubt that by the time she will finish it, the month royalties will definitely easily exceed $500,000 without a hitch.
She can even adapt it in a drama or movie later if she wants, making a huge profit out of it. In short, this novel was currently her money printing machine that will help her escape the future interrogations of her parents when they learn about the holding company she had been planning to acquire.
But the biggest surprise and reward she got was from her sister Angel which she had announced when she got her first ten thousand fans.
[Ding!
Congratulations host for completing a hidden mission, "The first success"
As a reward for host's dedication to her first success, the system has added a new feature.
"The wheel of Luck"
The host can rotate this wheel once every month and get random rewards.
The month draw still pending! Does the host wish to spin the wheel of luck?
Congratulations host on winning a body strengthening portion.]
The sudden addition was definitely a very pleasant surprise for Sarina who was looking forward to the rewards she might win in the coming months.
After all, that body enhancement potion she got was truly miraculous. Just one potion was actually able to increase her strength by 5 times.
Sarina, for a second, even had the illusion that she could even stop a bullet with her bare hands before Angel ruthlessly poured cold water over it.
[You are really overestimating the system host. There is no power in this universe that can make it possible for you to stop a bullet with bare hands.
The least this potion can do is increase your overall strength, strength your five senses and improve your speed and agility.
That is all]
Though a little sad, Sarina didn't let it impact her mood much and instead focused on her work which had now been stopped due to Adrian and Clara taking away her laptop.
Sighing, at last Sarina had no other option than to take things in her own hand. With all her previous life knowledge and experiences, she finally decided to take upon the task and began to tutor them about the business world herself.
"Trust me mom and dad. Rather than going through the internet, it is much better that you bring your queries to me instead. I would solve them for you."
Initially skeptical, Adrian and Clara were soon bewildered by the range of their daughter's knowledge. Concepts which once seem alien to them became a part of their thoughts in a way they never expected.
They felt as if they really underestimated their daughter and her intelligence. She really was a genius who could do anything.
Just like that days passed and soon it was weekend and they were all finally going to visit the site the system had previously given her tomorrow.
