American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

Because Nick's abilities were not of much use to the church, the church simply recorded the matter for future observation and did not disturb Nick's normal life.

As for the deeper reasons behind this, Mike also got the answer from Father James.

For lucky individuals like Nick who suddenly gain "superpowers," their abilities are not fixed.

As time goes by, once these people have fulfilled their initial "requests," God will immediately take back their superpowers.

This period usually doesn't last too long, ranging from ten days to half a month, and at most no more than a year.

Therefore, for various reasons, the church generally doesn't pay much attention to these lucky individuals who temporarily possess superpowers, unless their abilities are particularly outstanding.

……

Mike, who had set off from the villa, arrived at the advertising creative agency, just a few blocks from Wall Street, in a Tesla sports car driven by Nydy.

Judging by its size, the advertising company Nick works for is indeed quite "high-end".

"I'm Mike," Mike said at the advertising company's reception desk, flashing his King Investment Company business card. "Could you make an appointment with your boss for me?"

"Okay, Mr. Mike. Please wait a moment, I'll contact the boss for you right away." The beautiful receptionist looked at Mike's designer clothes and the expensive sports car parked on the roadside and acted very attentive.

It's worth mentioning that King Investment Company, which invested nearly 50 million, has started its own investment business under Chris's guidance.

In order to facilitate the company's year-end tax deduction, Chris has also begun to help Mike buy luxury goods.

Mike's suit, watch, and sports car were all purchased with tax credits.

"Welcome, Mr. Mike, to my company. I am David, the owner of this advertising company..." Before long, the owner of the advertising company came to the reception area in person.

Clearly, the beautiful receptionist had already explained to her boss how "valuable" Mike's identity was.

After some pleasantries, David took Mike, a potential "big client," to his private office.

"Mr. Mike, what business do you need to conduct today?" After serving two cups of hand-drip coffee, David got to the point.

"My King Investment Company needs a logo designed. I wonder if you can do that?" Mike didn't beat around the bush.

With such a large advertising company, Boss David must be extremely well-informed.

King Investment Company is a large company, even on Wall Street, so this Mr. David must have heard of it.

"What is your budget?" Sure enough, David's attitude became even more "friendly" after hearing the name of King Investment Company.

"Between two hundred thousand and two million, depending on how much your company can handle..." Mike said casually.

Despite the size of David's advertising company, it's questionable whether his monthly net profit can even reach two million.

Therefore, Mike can definitely be considered a "big client".

"Please wait a moment, our company's design capabilities will certainly not disappoint you." After making this assurance, David said to his secretary, "Go and call Darcy and Nick over, and have them put down all their work for now. Tell them I have an important client here."

It seems that in order to retain Mike as a major client, Boss David has brought in two of the company's "aces".

Of course, this was exactly what Mike was looking for; Nick was the person he was looking for.

Not long after, a male and a female designer, both dressed in sophisticated business attire, strode into the office.

The woman standing slightly forward is around thirty years old and still has a charming appearance. If she were a few years younger, she would definitely be a great beauty.

The middle-aged man, who was half a step behind her, had a hint of ambition in his eyes and unusually thick hair; he was indeed quite handsome.

This man was Mike's target this time—Nick Marshall.

Chapter 360 Eavesdropping on Women's Hearts (Continued)

In the boss's private office, David formally introduced Michael to Darcy and Nick, and also informed them of Michael's requirements.

Wall Street? King Investment Company? Logo?

Darcy was surprised to learn that the exceptionally handsome young man in front of him was actually the behind-the-scenes boss of an investment company with a market value of 50 million.

Nick, standing to the side, looked on with envy.

"King Investments is an investment company dedicated to providing funding assistance to individuals or small businesses with specialized skills or unique concepts, helping them complete their initial startup phase..."

Mike briefly explained the nature of his investment company, then looked at the two slightly excited designers in front of him and said, "That's roughly the situation. I wonder what your ideas are for the logo of this kind of company?"

The creation of a large company logo is not something that can be done overnight. It requires a draft first, and then the specific logo is designed based on the draft.

Now, whether the draft proposal can satisfy the client and secure the final order is what Darcy and Nick need to consider most.

Of course, this is also a good opportunity for the two to prove their worth.

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Mrs. Darcy immediately fell into deep thought and began a brainstorming session.

Nick, on the other hand, seemed a little absent-minded. He pretended to be thinking seriously, but in reality, he kept glancing at Darcy out of the corner of his eye.

Needless to say, this man is probably currently engaging in shameless "plagiarism," preparing to reap without sowing.

After a dozen minutes, Darcy had finished her thought. Confident in her approach, she spoke first: "Mr. Mike, based on your company's name, I think your logo could perhaps include a crown symbol, representing a king..."

Before Ms. Darcy could finish speaking, Nick, who had been eavesdropping on her thoughts, hurriedly interjected, "An investment company... illuminates others... the crown could be designed in the shape of the sun, and a smiley face could be added if necessary..."

"By the way, since your company's model is based on the angel round, it would be best to add two arms representing angels on either side of the crown... That's all my ideas."

Nick, who had completely stolen Ms. Darcy's ideas by using his ability to eavesdrop on women's thoughts, retorted sharply, then put on a gentlemanly demeanor, smiled at his female colleague, and deliberately asked, "Director Darcy, do you have anything to add?"

"N-no. You're absolutely right~" Darcy had already said everything he wanted to say, so he naturally had nothing more to add.

Even the way she looked at Nick, the "plagiarist," held a hint of admiration.

Anyone who encounters someone whose thoughts coincide with their own several times will feel that the other person is their soulmate.

This is roughly what Ms. Darcy's current emotional journey is like.

"Mr. Mike, what do you think?" After listening to his employee's draft, Boss David turned to Mike.

Whether this collaboration can be completed depends mainly on the client's wishes.

In other words, the decision-making power was in Mike's hands from beginning to end.

"Your company's business acumen is truly impressive," Mike exclaimed, then continued, "So, this logo design project will be entrusted to..."

Mike paused intentionally at this point, until Nick's smile became somewhat stiff, before announcing, "It's entrusted to this Mr. Nick..."

[Blessing. Eavesdropping on a woman's thoughts (Special Feature)]

Upon hearing this, Nick's smile returned, and in his excitement, he unleashed a burst of special energy.

But before he could celebrate for long, Mike's voice came again: "I can tell that Ms. Darcy's design skills are also very high, so this time the logo design will be left to the two of you..."

"As long as the finished product is satisfactory, there's no need to worry about the compensation."

After announcing his final decision, Mike gave Nick a meaningful look, whose expression was complicated.

To be fair, Nick Marshall's professional skills were actually quite good before. But jealousy caused him to lose his composure.

After gaining the ability to eavesdrop on women's thoughts, he only thought about taking shortcuts and plagiarizing Darcy's ideas.

This obsessive approach gradually robbed him of his ability to "think" and "innovate".

Although he has temporarily suppressed his opponent Darcy, problems are bound to arise in the long run.

Of course, none of this has much to do with Mike. Having acquired the ability to "listen to women's minds," he has no interest in guiding other people's lives.

Now, with his newfound abilities, he is trying to understand Nidi's thoughts.

After all, this woman is a ticking time bomb, posing a significant threat to Lina and the other girls.

Mike had no choice but to be cautious.

It's just that, perhaps because Nidi is gradually losing her human emotions, Mike didn't hear her thoughts for a while.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Darcy, standing to the side, felt ashamed that she had "stole" Nick's chance to perform alone.

This woman may seem cold and unapproachable, but she has a kind heart.

……

"Nidi, I remember there's a coffee shop downstairs. Go and buy me two iced Americanos," Mike suddenly ordered.

If there are no opportunities, create them.

Mike decided to test Nydy one more time.

"Iced Americano? We have it in our company. I'll send someone to pick it up for you." Facing a major client, Boss David showed his enthusiasm before Nidi could.

“No, I want the one downstairs.” Mike emphasized, while watching Nidi’s reaction.

At this point, Boss David understood the atmosphere and dared not speak casually anymore.

Darcy and Nick, who were standing nearby, were so startled that they didn't dare to breathe.

Surprisingly, Nidi felt no dissatisfaction. After confirming the task, she turned and walked out of the office.

As the office door opened, a jumble of thoughts immediately entered Mike's mind.

'He's even more handsome than a big star...'

'I wish I could be his girlfriend...'

'I wonder if he's just all talk and no action...'

……

The topics are becoming increasingly daring.

It turns out that women are more daring than men when they see a super handsome man.

Mike couldn't help but frown when he heard that many women were planning to use accidents like "falling down" or "spilling coffee" to strike up a conversation with him.

Being too popular can also be a problem.

Especially when the other person doesn't fit one's aesthetic preferences.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Mike. My employee disturbed you. I'll take care of it right away." David, the boss who was good at reading people's expressions, gave Mike a smile and then walked towards the door.

Because they heard that a super handsome guy had come to the company, a large group of female employees gathered outside the boss's office, waiting to catch a glimpse of him.

What Mike had heard earlier was exactly what they were thinking.

"Aren't you working? What are you all doing crammed here?!" With Boss David's roar, the female employees scattered with laughter.

"Alright, Mr. Mike. All the problems are solved." David, back with a smile, said, "Now, how about we discuss the specific details of the collaboration?"

“No problem.” Mike, now that he had some peace and quiet, said, “I’m very satisfied with your proposal. I’ll have Chris give you a deposit first…”

"Once the finished product is ready, you can go directly to King Investment Company on Wall Street to hand it over to Chris."

Having already gotten his money's worth, Mike had no desire to continue "entangled" with the design company.

Just after the basic terms of the cooperation agreement were finalized, Niddy returned carrying two glasses of iced Americano.

"Thank you for your idea. These two coffees are on me." Mike took the iced Americano from Nidi and turned to place it in front of Darcy and Nick.

Then, with Nidi who had just returned, they walked outside again.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Mike asked after leaving the office.

Nidi shook her head aloofly, still harboring no resentment.

Meanwhile, at the design company next door, the female employees pretending to work started fantasizing again when they saw Mike come out.

This has reached the level of "sexual harassment".

In this situation, being able to hear a woman's thoughts at all times isn't necessarily a good thing.

"Let's go then!" Mike called to Nidi and they quickly walked downstairs.

Listening to the women's unspeakable thoughts, Mike didn't want to stay here a moment longer.

"Please take care, Mr. Mike," the pretty receptionist said politely as she saw Mike off.

"Okay~" Mike smiled and said goodbye to the beautiful receptionist, as he was relieved not to hear the other person's inner thoughts.

'Wow, that's a really perky butt... He must be really good in bed... I'm so envious of his girlfriend...'

He hadn't walked more than a few steps when the beautiful receptionist's thoughts echoed in Mike's mind.

This……

Is there a time frame for being a fangirl?

"Is there anything else, Mr. Mike?" The beautiful receptionist smiled sweetly again when she saw Mike stop.
