Brucille snorted coldly, “A financial analyst is simply another term for a sales person who cheats others to earn money. Can you tell me what achievements you have?”
Leslie planned to debate with Brucille further. He articulated his words, “In the past three years, my team has made a profit exceeding 25%. Currently, we are the top performer in the country.”
Chuckling, Brucille replied, “Sir, apart from the domestic market, do you know that a a global stock market exists? I can’t believe you have the guts to show off just because your annual earnings exceed 25%. There will be a boom when the international market opens for trading tomorrow morning. I suggest that you pay attention to the top 500 stocks in the medicine sector. You will get more than 25% gain in just a day. You don’t even need a year!”
Listening to Brucille’s confident comments, Leslie, an analyst of more than 10 years, felt a little nervous.
He took a deep breath and then took out his cell phone.
“Alright. If it’s exactly like what you said, I’ll arrange for a dinner at a five-star hotel and give you a treat. If it’s not…”
Brucille interjected immediately, “If it’s not the case, I’ll treat you to a banquet dinner at a five-star hotel instead.”
“It’s a deal!”
A gentleman would never resort to a physical fight. Leslie’s take on Brucille changed when he studied him closer. Although he was dressed plainly, his mannerisms were unlike that of an ordinary person.
On the other side, Yvonne seemed to be chatting happily with Jasper. Cherry also received a business card from Mr. Yu. If one were to be acquainted with a star, perhaps there was nothing much to be celebrated.
However, being affiliated with a star-making company was definitely a good thing as it would be much more likely that for a person to become a celebrity. That was what Cherry and Yvonne both thought.
Jasper wanted to get close to Monique, but Leslie stopped him, shooting Brucille a sharp look before they left.
Returning to Monique, Yvonne questioned, “Are you daft? He’s the big boss of a media company! If you become a star, you might end up as a brand ambassador with a million-yuan contract. Isn’t that much better than performing surgeries all the time?”
Unexpectedly, Monique replied coldly, “I’m not interested in that. If you’re interested in that kind of thing, then by all means, you go ahead. I’m leaving!”
“Ah!”
With that, Monique left immediately while Brucille waved goodbye awkwardly to the two beautiful women.
Cherry asked softly, “Yvonne, do you think that Monique’s boyfriend has changed? I remember the last time we visited her house. The guy kept on muttering softly. When did he gain the guts to face off another man?”
Yvonne shared her thoughts. “Yes, Mr. Yu said that Mr. Fang is the consulting company’s financial analyst. I have already decided that when my boyfriend gives me the money, I will go to him for financial investments. Then it will not be long before I can afford to travel around the world.”
When she heard Yvonne’s dreams, Cherry felt a sense of urgency. Currently, she only had a boyfriend who could provide her basic needs for food and clothing. However, she started to feel that she didn’t need such a man.
When she saw that Mr. Yu was such an outstanding, successful and handsome man, she realized that he was the kind of man she needed. She clenched her little fist and secretly made up her mind.
Because there were many people in the shopping mall, Monique and Brucille soon disappeared into the crowd. The vast shopping mall was like a maze. Fortunately, Brucille was tall, otherwise he would have lost his wife in the crowd.
He quickly caught up with her and requested in a hurry, “Hey, can we walk a little slower while we are shopping?”
“Who’s shopping with you? I already bought my bag. I want to go home now.”
“No, didn’t Dad tell us to have a meal outside? What will your dad think if we go home now?”
Monique suddenly stopped in her tracks. Indeed, her old man had told them that before they left. If she went home immediately, it would be bad. But when she thought of the two men talking about giving birth to a child, goosebumps formed all over her body.
“Fine, then tell me the truth now. Where did you get so much money? Didn’t you buy a necklace for my mother with the five hundred thousand which was given to you because of a treatment?”
“It is because I got lucky when I went out with Tommy for stone trading. I bought a good one, so I eventually sold it off for a lot of money.”
It was obvious from Monique’s eyes that she did not buy his words. Nonetheless, she could only glare at Brucille in disbelief.
She couldn’t help but ask, “Have you realized that ever since the car accident, you changed a lot? The most important thing is that you suddenly become so lucky. On top of that, you are suddenly able to cure diseases. Why didn’t I know that before? And since when did you trade stocks?”
Facing a series of questions, Brucille sat down to have a good chat with her.
However, he knew that Monique was only a little suspicious and did not really care about him. After all, there was not a single trace of concern in her eyes but only full of doubts.
In that instant, she seemed to him like an ice sculpture that had been frozen for thousands of years, which needed warmth from him.
In the end, he chose to remain silent, only revealing a bitter smile. Even he himself found it hard to believe how he had found himself in his current position. What would she think if he actually explained it to Monique?
Seeing that Brucille would not speak, Monique gave up. She suggested, “Since you’re rich, I would like to buy something else. Is that alright?”
“Of course, as long as you like it, I will try my best to satisfy you.”
His behavior created a heavy feeling in her heart. She could no longer see through the man in front of her. In the past, she could tell clearly what he was thinking and what he was planning to do. Yet, currently, he was like a walking reflection of a still lake, the things beneath it unreadable and undetectable.
The entire shopping mall was full of dazzling long dresses and shorts. Monique had the physique of a mannequin. Therefore, she looked good in all kinds of attire. Consequently, selecting clothes was an easy thing for her. As long as the color and size was suitable, it would look perfect on her.
Monique shopped for half a day, picking a piece of clothing priced more than 5 figures each them. However, Brucille could still afford them. She really wanted to know how much money was in that card.
She couldn’t believe that a man who had been living off a woman suddenly had so much money. She became more suspicious and fearful even.
While they were at a restaurant, she counted her spending for the day. Punching in the figures on the calculator application in her phone, she soon realized that the total sum exceed a seven-digit number.
She stared at the man opposite her in a daze. He was a completely changed person. She simply did not recognize him.
Noticing that she was staring at him, Brucille chuckled. “Honey, if you want to see me, why don’t you watch me at night? The two of us…”
“Shut up,” she interrupted. “I want lobsters, king crabs, salmon and tuna…”
