efforts to create a new life on East Street. Naturally, Anthony K. could not refute Aiden's
idea of self-reliance, and the admiration in his eyes grew stronger.
After Anthony K. left, the three members of the Dale family had a short meeting. In the
end, they decided to officially move next Saturday. That night, Aiden lay in bed and went
over the events of the past few days in his mind.
From the moment he decided to deal with Rudy, he had executed every step of his plan
himself. Although the process was a little tiring, Aiden felt a sense of accomplishment.
He now understood that the true meaning of the Imperium Enhancing System was not to
mechanically change data.
It was to teach Aiden that as long as he worked to strengthen it, he would have the
power to control his own fate. Ding. Perfect layout.
Ability to set up an array. Plus one. Ding.
Calculating everything. Planning ability. Plus one.
Just as Aiden was about to drift off, there was an urgent knock at his door. Aiden! Why is
my phone ringing? He asked. Is it bad? Aiden took the phone from his father and
examined it.
After a few moments, he let out a sigh of relief. It's okay. He said, trying to comfort
Morris.
We have a lot of fans. Facebook page? Do we still have Facebook pages in our family?
Morris scratched his head. Forget it.
He said impatiently. I don't understand these things either. I'll just leave them to you
youngsters.
Aiden got up from his bed and turned on the computer to check. As expected, the
follower count on Midnight Snack Corner's Facebook page had increased to 5,000! And
the number continued to increase as he looked at it. The number of comments was even
more impressive.
Some apologized for previous insults. Some asked about the food sold by the restaurant.
And some wanted to know Anthony K. In the past few days, Midnight Snack Corner had
made a name for itself in the Bayside District.
Everyone knew about this snack bar. Aiden looked at the increasing number of fans and
suddenly had a thought. In the past, the Dales had always needed to be careful with
money.
Now, they would have the resources to expand the scale of their operation. Maybe they could consider launching an online ordering platform for the restaurant. With this
thought, Aiden applied for an online shop for the Midnight Snack Corner's Facebook
page.
After the application was approved, customers would be able to purchase food directly
through the Facebook page.
As it would take some time for
the application to be approved, Aiden once again focused his attention on his studies. It
was the fourth week of this semester.
Aiden took the apple from Viola, as usual. When he saw her smiling face, his heart
skipped a beat. He didn't have time to maintain the Facebook page by himself.
Could he ask Viola to help him run it? He thought about it for a minute. Viola did not
have a system like he did. She was just an ordinary high school student.
If she helped him take care of the Facebook page, it was likely to negatively impact her
studies. Aiden decided he wouldn't ask for Viola's help. But when Viola saw Aiden staring
at her without blinking, she felt confused.
Why are you looking at me all the time? Viola looked shy. She ran her fingers through
her hair unconsciously. Nothing.
Aiden shook his head. He was thinking about who could take on the responsibility.
Nothing.
Viola stiffened. Then she snorted and hit Aiden on the back of his head. Aiden scratched
his head.
He didn't know what he had done to offend her. At noon, he went to the library. As usual,
he gave Serena a few questions and received a wave of admiration.
Serena always reminded him of a lovely older sister. When he saw her today, he felt
moved by her somehow. Do you really want to go to an Ivy League school? He asked.
Serena rolled her eyes at Aiden. Of course I want to go to an Ivy League school. Some
things can only be learned at a prestigious institution.
Geniuses like you can't understand the pain of ordinary people like me. I have no idea
where you learned all the things you know. Aiden suddenly felt respect for Serena.
He would never have thought Serena would be so eager to learn. Two seconds later,
Serena averted her eyes and leaned over to whisper in his ear. Don't tell anyone, she
said in a hushed voice.
I'm only working here to earn money for later. I've been saving up. Since you're just
doing it to earn money, why don't you find a better job? Aiden asked seriously.
Good jobs aren't easy to come by, Serena sighed. In this society, if you want a good job,
you need a diploma, connections, and luck. If I can't find a good job, I won't need to stay
in the library as an administrator.
Aiden smiled. I have a job for you. Would you consider working for me? What's the job?
Serena asked.
Social media coordinator, managing a Facebook page. Are you interested? Serena's eyes
lit up instantly. When she was in school, she had her own Facebook page.
She was very familiar with using social media. But then she thought about it for a
moment and her face fell. It's too bad salaries are so low right now.
Otherwise, I would have done this a long time ago. Since you're interested, it's easy. As
for the salary, you don't have to worry about that.
Aiden thought for a moment and said, I can give you three times the market salary.
Three times? That is indeed good. Serena smiled, then started.
Her eyes widened. Wait, three times?
The point is, you
want to pay me? Serena asked in shock.
Aiden nodded calmly. Serena was confused. A high school student wanted to hire her
and was even offering her a salary.
If the person in front of her weren't Aiden, Serena would have already shaken her head
and walked away. But she was still uncertain about his intentions. Are you joking? She
asked.
My restaurant is moving to East Street. Aiden said plainly. When the time comes, the
business will expand rapidly.
So I need someone else's help. I think you're quite suitable. Serena was stunned.
The words East Street filled her mind. The East Side of the Bayside District was where
the wealthy and powerful lived. On the East Side, there were busy business streets and
all kinds of luxury homes.
Anyone would have been proud to own a mansion on the East Side of the city. And East
Street was the best place to spend money on the East Side. A number of large
companies had established themselves there.
It was Bayside District's top shopping destination, particularly for women in the region.
When Serena heard Aiden say he had a shop on East Street, her first impulse was to
dismiss it as idle bragging. But after spending so much time with Aiden, she knew he
wasn't one to talk big.
If he had said there would be a shop there, there would be a shop there. Secretly, she
was shocked. Was this guy really a high school student? He was only a freshman, but
he'd already grasped university-level mathematics.
Now, he actually owned a shop on East Street. Serena felt like she was about to go
crazy. What else are you hiding from me? Serena wanted to ruffle Aiden's hair to tease
him, but she stopped herself.
So, you're a rich second generation? She asked casually. Aiden shook his head. My
family and I are all poor.
I don't believe you, Serena said, rolling her eyes. Aiden shrugged. No one would believe
him even if he told the truth.
He had no choice. Although Serena was secretly interested in this job, when she saw that
she had already read more than half of the textbooks on her desk, she felt indignant.
Seeing Serena's expression, Aiden couldn't help but try to guess what she was thinking.
Observing the subject's slight expression. Mind reading ability, plus one. Current
progress, one out of ten.
Current level, beginner level. He shook his head, and the system automatically began
analyzing Serena's expression. Analyzing Serena's expression.
Analyzing the result. The probability of the target feeling conflicted is 94%. The
probability of the target being excited was 2%.
The probability of the target being angry was 0.02%. The target was sad. Mind reading
ability? Isn't this the legendary mind reading ability? With this ability, from now on, he
would be able to guess what others were thinking just by looking at them. Serena's inner
tension was as high as 94%.
Aiden turned to look at what she was looking at. Aiden immediately guessed why she
was conflicted. Aiden thought for a moment.
I'll give you a laptop. This way, you can study and help me maintain the Facebook page.
What do you think? Serena looked up in surprise.
How did you know what I was thinking? Aiden smiled, but he didn't say anything. He just
looked at Serena quietly. Serena had always been a little thin-skinned.
She realized that the longer she looked at Aiden, the more exposed her thoughts
seemed to be. There was something magical about Aiden's eyes. It was as though they
could see right into her mind. Serena Matthews blushed and asked in a low voice,
