Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Casper sat on one side couch as he listened to Giselle sing. The live stream channel was more popular than he thought. Within a short period, the viewers had lavished Giselle with more than two thousand dollars. Furthermore, this was excluding rewards from the big shots. If they visited her live stream channel, Giselle could easily get more than ten thousand in a minute.

Since Giselle loved singing, and she did not have to reveal her face to the public during the live stream, Casper was more than happy to let her sing to her viewers. Giselle had a good singing voice, having undergone vocal training. Her voice was comparable to that of professional singers.

“Giselle, why don’t you become a professional singer? You are so pretty, and you have such a beautiful voice. I’m sure you can become an international superstar overnight,” Casper suggested as he rested his arm around her waist.

Giselle scoffed, “What are you talking about? I sing because I like to sing, not because I want to become famous.”

“Did you drink the soup I made for you this afternoon?” Casper pinched Giselle’s ear lightly.

“I finished all of them. The soup is very rich. I’m sure to put on weight after drinking it. What am I going to do?” Giselle punched Casper lightly with her fist.

Casper looked at her with wide-eyed innocence. “The tomato beef soup is very light and healthy. It looks like you can only drink chicken noodle soup or potato and leek soup next time.”

Casper suddenly thought of something. He stood up immediately and dashed into the kitchen.

“What’s wrong? I’ve just eaten this afternoon. Are you going to cook again?” Despite saying that, Giselle’s stomach started to rumble.

“You need to lose some weight. Otherwise, you’ll soon grow into a pig,” Casper joked as he took out a potato.

Potato and leek soup was a classic dish. It had a very mild flavor and was a good source of nutrients.

Casper took the kitchen knife and wiped it clean. He was about to cut the potato when Giselle stopped him. “Wait a minute. I just bought a very sharp kitchen knife yesterday. You should be able to put it to good use.”

Giselle took out a triangular-shaped kitchen knife. She then took out a tomato and used the knife to slice it. The tomato was easily slit into two.

“Look, isn’t this knife sharp? It can even be used to chop up bones and other stuff.” Giselle’s lips curled into a smile, waiting for words of praise from Casper.

The latter sighed as he touched his forehead. “This is a knife with a laser edge. It cuts very fast, but it will become blunt after a month. You’re a teacher. Haven’t you come across such sales tactics?”

“Ah!” Giselle opened her mouth wide in shock before lowering her head in embarrassment. Casper tapped her nose affectionately. “The best knife for a chef is the one that they’re most comfortable with. I’ve used your kitchen knife more than ten times, and I’ve gotten used to it. It’s good enough for cooking potatoes and leek.”
