Since I have an aversion to watching season 9 again, I forgot about this:
Season 9
A humbled and changed Roy resurfaces in "Roy's Wedding" when he invites Jim and Pam to his wedding among other Dunder-Mifflin staffers in attendance. Despite their original expectations of Roy, the couple are shocked to find out that Roy has changed for the better. He is now the owner of a successful gravel company he created, evident by the $50,000 sports car and the nice house that he owns and the elegant and tasteful wedding. Roy later thanks Jim before the ceremony, crediting his breakup with Pam to make way for meeting his future bride. Pam is also stunned to see that Roy can play the piano as he sings a song to his bride. (Wikipedia)
Maybe this works for season 3 Roy, but it doesn’t work for seasons 1-2 Roy. At the start, everything he did seemed to be exactly the wrong thing and he was a complete ass, to the point that his character seemed ridiculous. The writers eventually figured out how to make him a flawed but redeemable character, which helped the show in my opinion.

The bit about gravel is real. I know a lot of people around where I live that made a killing in the landscaping business by starting their own company
