I obediently lay on the soft chair, my big eyes twinkling up and down as I sized up the high-class VIP guest room. Soft light sprinkled on the milky white walls, making it seem even quieter. The room was equipped with coffee machines, sports equipment, guest tables, and a series of other equipment. Everything one would need could be found in the room.
Seeing that Steve had left, the secretary, who had been holding back for a long time, immediately started chatting with me. “Miss Sheila, you’re really lucky. This is the first time I’ve seen the CEO being so gentle to others.”
I could immediately tell that the secretary wanted to gossip but didn’t dare to be too obvious.
“Yes, Uncle Steve loves me very much.”
The secretary revealed a look of realization. “So, Miss Sheila is the CEO’s niece.” The secretary looked around, covered her mouth, and said in a low voice, “Miss Sheila, let me tell you a secret. When the CEO brought you to the company today, many people mistook you for being the CEO’s biological daughter. Both of you are very good-looking!”
I didn’t want to listen to this secretary’s gossip anymore, so I gave an excuse. “Can I have some milk?” and sent her away.
Seeing that there were some financial magazines on the table, I climbed onto my chair with some difficulty and began to read the latest financial news.
Just as I was engrossed in reading, the door of the VIP lounge was suddenly opened. I thought that the secretary had come back. When I focused my eyes, I saw that it was a man who was about thirty years old. His face was filled with anxiety. I raised my head to look at the nameplate on his chest and guessed that he was an investment manager.
When the man saw that there was a five-year-old child inside, he was clearly a little surprised. “Little girl, where did you come from? Were you secretly brought in by your parents? Do you know that this is the VIP lounge? You can’t just casually enter.”
He walked over and hurriedly put down the documents in his hands. He asked me many questions, but he didn’t give me a chance to answer. Then, he said, “I’m going to meet a very important client here in a while. Leave quickly and go somewhere else to play.” With that, he turned around and left.
I was not a person who liked to cause trouble. Since there were going to be clients coming to this VIP room, I thought that I should leave.
Just as I was about to climb down from my chair, my eyes suddenly swept across the pile of documents that the investment manager had just brought over. A somewhat familiar name came into my sight.
My expression immediately became serious. I suddenly remembered that this name seemed to be the name of the boss of a black-hearted company that I had researched previously! However, this company had a different name.
Without any hesitation, I flipped open the detailed information of this company.
When I read it, I was shocked. This company was indeed the black-hearted fraud company that I had researched previously. Although they changed their name, they were still scammers!
I carefully looked at the contract that the investment manager had prepared. This time, the scammers were pretending to be a technology company, and the financial investment they were seeking was over ten billion!
No, I must stop this investment. I can’t let my uncle’s company suffer any losses.
At this moment, the VIP room’s door was suddenly opened. The previous investment manager had a smile on his face as he invited two people in. It seemed that these two people were the managers of the other company who were preparing to sign the contract.
Seeing that I was still sitting at my original spot and didn’t leave, a trace of anger and displeasure immediately flashed across the investment manager’s face. However, in front of an important client, he couldn’t flare up at all, he could only smile apologetically and say, “I’m really sorry. This is my colleague’s daughter. She really has no choice but to stay here for a while. Please don’t mind her. However, please don’t worry. She’s very obedient and will definitely not disturb us from signing the contract.”
After saying that, he kept winking at me, wanting me to go to the side. However, I pretended not to see him and continued to occupy the meeting table.
Seeing that I didn’t move, this investment manager had no other choice. He directly walked over and prepared to carry me to the side.
Before his hand reached me, I picked up the materials on the table and coldly said, “As the investment manager of the company, before signing the contract, did you carefully review and investigate the qualifications and strength of the other company?”
