Reborn From Ashes novel Chapter 258

Very soon, Hayden and the two women returned to Prima Auction House.

"I've looked through the contract with my lawyers, and they've determined that it's safe."

Hayden took out the contract with his name already signed on it.

"That's great! I'll transfer the money to you right now."

Quentin seemed impatient, and he immediately ordered his men to get on it. However, Hayden suddenly shook his head.

"What's wrong?" Quentin was startled, wondering if Hayden was about to go back on his word.

"Remember that I said I have a condition? I hope you'll hear me out first," Hayden said solemnly.

"Yes, of course. Please go ahead!" Quentin nodded.

"Are you planning to keep this gem as a collection or auction it off?" Hayden asked.

"Auctioning it off, of course! I'm a businessman. It's only natural for me to sell this gem," Quentin explained.

"Fine. I'd like you to delay the auction date to three days later."

Hayden's tone was serious as he stared solemnly at Quentin.

"Three days later? Why?" Quentin was confused.

"That isn't something you need to worry about. News of the gem's auction can only be announced three days from now, and the auction has to be carried out on the same day itself," Hayden stated firmly.

"Would it be okay to promote the announcement in advance?" Quentin asked.

"Of course," Hayden agreed with a nod.

After all, a businessman would surely want to maximize his profits. He wouldn't let himself disrupt Quentin's sales plan.

"It seems that this kid is planning something again," he lamented.

The auction of the gem, timed to coincide with the banquet in three days, was clearly a deliberate move.

What was the young man up to this time?

Meanwhile, Hayden had taken the funds to quickly establish a company. He finalized the company's location and recruited the staff all in one go.

He had previously looked up a failing production company and negotiated the terms with its employees to stay on. Since they had all worked together before, there would be no need for a lengthy adjustment period.

When Hayden appeared before them, everyone was stunned. None of them had expected their new boss to be so young.

"Everyone, we're now a media company. For now, our focus will be on producing videos based on the scripts I've written. Each of you will receive a 500-dollar raise on top of your current salaries.

"In addition to the standard benefits, there will also be housing subsidies. As long as you complete the videos according to my requirements, whatever spare time you have is yours to manage freely."
