American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

This can also be seen as cultivating talent for his own team.

Next, Mike had an in-depth discussion with Jesse and Chris about the company's future development direction.

Drawing inspiration from Jordan's approach, Kings Investment Company could simultaneously support the listing of small and medium-sized enterprises while unknowingly accumulating substantial funds from the stock market.

With the $100 million in cash brought by Mike, this plan has great potential.

As noon approached, Mike left Chris's private office to meet with the employees of his investment company.

As a gift for their first formal meeting, he promised his employees a performance bonus that was one percent higher than that of other companies.

Don't underestimate this one percent performance bonus. For an investment company with millions of dollars flowing through its operations every minute, it's entirely possible for employees to live a "wealthy" life as long as they are willing to work hard.

"Great! Long live the boss!!!"

"Boss, I love you to death!!!"

……

What do working people care about most?

As long as the salary is enough, I'm willing to work like a slave.

Mike's actions earned him the support of many employees in the company.

Several female employees took advantage of the atmosphere and boldly spoke their minds.

Mike, who possesses the ability to "eavesdrop on women's thoughts," also sensed the happiness of these female employees.

In this situation, **the mind is truly at ease!**

In high spirits, Mike booked a mid-range restaurant downstairs and treated his employees to a casual meal.

This was nothing more than a small favor for him, but it was very effective in winning people's hearts.

His image in the eyes of his employees has now changed from a mysterious behind-the-scenes boss to a handsome, wealthy, approachable, and kind boss.

……

After a pleasant lunch, Mike got into his luxurious Tesla and drove towards the affluent neighborhood where Caroline lived.

Chapter 374 Dating

"Susan, what do you think of this outfit?" Caroline, her makeup impeccable, asked the same question for the nth time in front of the full-length mirror.

At this moment, she was wearing a cool, casual long dress, her long legs subtly revealed, showcasing her best features.

This sense of mystery is incredibly alluring to men.

“Very beautiful, Miss~” The family nanny, Susan, with a hint of maternal smile, once again gave an affirmative answer.

Here it's worth mentioning that while Miss Caroline is "spoiled and willful" to outsiders, she is surprisingly "friendly" to those close to her.

Therefore, Susan, the nanny who was nearly forty years old, got along very well with Caroline.

It has a sense of elder and junior.

Knowing her young mistress's intentions, Susan sincerely hoped that the plan would go smoothly.

"Isn't this a bit too informal...?" Hearing the nanny's compliment, Caroline still seemed somewhat dissatisfied with her appearance.

She has already changed more than a dozen outfits, and has tried almost all the popular women's fashion styles this year.

"Fine, this is it!" Caroline twirled around in front of the full-length mirror twice more before finally making her decision.

Then, she said earnestly to the nanny, "Susan, remember to remind me to go buy some clothes when I have time next time. I'm almost out of clothes to wear."

“Yes, Miss,” Susan replied with a bow.

Knowing her mistress's temper, she glanced at the wardrobe crammed full of beautiful clothes out of the corner of her eye, but didn't say anything to spoil the mood.

"That's fine for now. Now go and keep an eye on the mushroom soup in the kitchen. I'm going to use it to entertain the guests later..." In front of the mirror, Caroline had already focused her attention on her makeup.

She was worried about her dark circles; she hoped Mike wouldn't notice them later.

The luxurious villa where Caroline now lives was one of the birthday gifts her father gave her when she was sixteen.

This affluent neighborhood, not far from Wall Street, is vast and well-equipped with greenery, offering a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle.

Mike, led into the villa by the maid, immediately spotted Caroline, dressed scantily, waiting behind the door.

I must say, this rich young lady may be thin, but her long legs are really nice.

"Huh? What's that on your face..." Before the girl could even bring up the incident of standing him up yesterday, Mike preemptively went up to her and asked with a puzzled look.

"Is it...is it dark circles?" Caroline looked flustered after being "attacked" by Mike's close-up shot.

Before the girl could even feel remorse, she hadn't bothered to check her makeup again.

"No, no, no~ It's a flower..." Mike's right hand flashed in front of the girl's eyes, and a beautiful rose appeared out of thin air.

"That's amazing! How did you do that?" Caroline was completely captivated by the "magic trick" before her eyes, even forgetting about her dark circles.

That's the charm of close-up magic—it gives people unexpected surprises.

Of course, Mike wouldn't tell the girl that the bright red rose was something he created using his "Transformation Power".

"This is for you. I hope you can forgive me for standing you up yesterday." Mike smiled and handed over the roses.

Sunlight streamed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing the villa in a warm glow.

Caroline, after accepting the flowers, felt a little dizzy looking into the "affectionate" eyes of the man in front of her.

This fairytale-like scene was exactly what she had dreamed of.

"Miss, lunch is ready."

Just then, Susan, the nanny who couldn't stand it anymore, interrupted her young mistress's "infatuation".

Caroline dressed herself up beautifully today, hoping to "conquer" Mike with her charm.

Judging from the current situation, it's quite different from her plan.

It felt more like "losing both the wife and the army".

"Okay, I understand." Only after the nanny reminded her did Caroline realize that staring at Mike was very impolite.

Once she had regained her senses, she put away the roses and asked, "Mike, have you had lunch? Would you like to grab something to eat together?"

"Of course... no problem. I won't stand on ceremony~" Mike, who has the ability to eavesdrop on women's thoughts, knew that the girl had prepared a surprise for him at the dinner table, so he naturally had no reason to disappoint her "kindness".

"Hypocritical!" On the other side, Nidice, who had just had lunch with Mike on Wall Street, felt inexplicably uncomfortable looking at the man's bright smile.

……

"Madam, we've prepared a separate lunch for you. Please come with me." While Caroline was leading Mike to the restaurant, the nanny, Susan, called out to Nidi.

Her actions were clearly intended to create an opportunity for her young mistress to be alone with Mike.

“No need, I’ve already eaten.” Nidy declined the nanny’s offer and quickly followed Mike back to where she was.

The nanny, Susan, who was unsure of the cold-faced girl's situation, didn't cause any further trouble.

In the upscale restaurant, Caroline looked at Nidi as she entered, initially surprised, then smiled and invited, "Nidi, haven't you had lunch either?"

Clearly, with her buzz cut and gothic dark style, Nidyl doesn't fit Caroline's definition of beauty.

Therefore, in her mind, Nidi did not pose a threat to her.

"Mike and I have already had lunch."

Nidy also avoided making much eye contact with Caroline, and after finishing her speech, she stood at a distance not too close to Mike.

However, it was precisely because of her words that the atmosphere in the restaurant became strange.

"Yeah, I did have something to eat with Nidy at noon. But I don't think I'm quite full~" Mike spoke first, expressing his anticipation for Caroline's lunch.

At the same time, he glanced at Nidi behind him.

Given the other party's sabotage, it's hard to believe that she didn't do it on purpose.

“It’s okay, I’ll make sure you’re well-fed here,” Caroline replied casually, while glancing at the cold-faced girl behind Mike.

Then, as Susan led the maids to serve the dishes, Caroline began to introduce the recipes to Mike.

She then highlighted the mushroom cream soup that was served last.

Before long, the long, ornate dining table was filled with all sorts of exquisite food.

Judging by its lavishness, it was not much less elaborate than a banquet hosted by the Genovese royal family.

In terms of taste, the chef at Caroline's family restaurant is much better than the chefs at other popular restaurants.

Rare ingredients combined with meticulous cooking make for a truly unique and enjoyable experience for the taste buds.

"How was it? Were you satisfied with the meal?" Caroline asked with a smile after the nearly one-hour meal.

It's obvious that this young lady has a lot of confidence in her family's chef's skills.

"It's delicious!" Mike exclaimed after a hearty meal. "Especially the mushroom soup, it tasted just like home."

"Really?" Caroline's face lit up with delight at the compliment. "Actually, I made that mushroom soup especially for you. I'm glad you liked it."

As the saying goes: the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

The mushroom cream soup was Caroline's "surprise" for Mike.

"I never knew you were so talented in cooking..." Mike didn't hold back his praise while the girl was in a good mood.

To be honest, while the mushroom dish wasn't bad, it was rather mediocre compared to the other delicious dishes.

The reason for praising the other person:

It's partly out of politeness, and partly to acknowledge the other person's "efforts".

And now, things are going very well, everyone is happy.

"Caroline, thank you for your hospitality. I had a pleasant lunch. Next time you're free, I'd like to invite you to my villa..." After spending a while longer at Caroline's luxurious villa, Mike decided to leave.

To reiterate, he didn't have much patience to play house with the girl.

Caroline, who was complaining about her designer handbag, said disappointedly, "I was planning to go shopping in the mall later. Or maybe go to our family's private amusement park..."

Yes, there weren't many things the girl could think of to do with Mike.

"Let's meet up again sometime~" Mike smiled and waved to Caroline, then led Nidi out of the villa.

Their relationship wasn't close enough, and given Caroline's special status, she was more like a goldfish to Mike—something he could admire but not possess.

Therefore, there's no point in staying at their house any longer.

"Susan, do you think I'm a really boring person?" Caroline looked a little dejected after watching Mike leave.

This wealthy young lady realized for the first time that her previous life seemed quite "empty".

Chapter 375 Wolf Nature

On a Friday in early November, the small shoe factory, which Steve named Crocodile Shoes, went public with its shares.

Just as Mike guessed, Jordan, who was only thinking about making a quick buck, acted faster than many people expected.

At that moment, in a small to medium-sized office in a commercial building on Wall Street, Jordan was anxiously waiting for news from the stock market.

As time passed, just past noon, Donnie excitedly pushed open the office door.

"Don't tell me yet, let me guess~" Jordan, who had been fidgeting for a while, observed his partner's expression and said, "It's good news!"

Strictly speaking, Donnie, who quit his job to join Jordan's team, could at most be considered Jordan's follower.

And the person in charge of managing Steve's small shoe factory shares was Jordan from the very beginning.

"This is really good news. You can't believe it. In just three minutes... we made over twelve million in the stock market..." Donnie couldn't wait to share the good news.

A little-known shoe factory raised over ten million dollars as soon as its shares went public. Such a feat had never happened before, even on the magical Wall Street.

It can be said that Jordan single-handedly broke the record for making money on Wall Street.

"Twelve million?" Even Jordan, who created a myth of making money for small and medium-sized enterprises, felt a little unreal about this result.

He shakily pulled a cigar from his pocket and struggled to light it.

As he exhaled smoke, under the influence of nicotine, Jordan's mind sharpened: "How many original shares were sold?"
