As An Eight Year Old, I Went Into Financial Management Behind My Parents Back

Chapter 15: Refusing to Join the Stock Market Center

When everyone was praising Lance, Darren frowned.

How could an eight-year-old Lance be so capable?

Darren crossed his arms and returned to his arrogant self.

“Lance, can you do that?”

“You lured me to bet with you from the beginning and even arrogantly bet on you winning because… there’s an expert guiding you from behind, right?”

“Even with the miniature camera, you were able to get his help. That’s enough to show how powerful he is.”

With all kinds of doubts raised, the thoughts of the employees began to waver again.

“An eight-year-old stock market genius? I don’t believe it.”

“No way. You don’t really believe that a little kid can be a stock market genius do you? Others might not know, but don’t you know? It’s too fake.”

“Can Lance be so powerful? If that’s true, I’ll wash my hair upside down with Coke.”

“Hahaha, brother, don’t be rash. What if Lance is talented?”

“Are you kidding? How can we meet a genius so easily?”

“…”

Amidst the doubts, Darren glanced smugly at Lance.

He had thought that the eight-year-old Lance would be panicking amidst all the distrust, but who would have thought that Lance would still be calm now?

It was as if these comments had no effect on him at all.

No!

There was another possibility.

Darren instantly felt that something was wrong.

Could it be that the reason why Lance is so confident is because he has a clear conscience and is not afraid of accusations?

Darren, who was already spreading rumors and relying on his own imagination, immediately felt frustrated. An inexplicable panic made him frown.

Naturally, Lance noticed that something was wrong with Darren.

He chuckled and planned to wait for the surrounding to be silent before retorting.

But before he could speak, Theodore couldn’t help but hurry to Darren’s side.

“Manager, I’m Theodore.”

“This is the information I found when the higher-ups asked me to investigate Lance.”

If Darren continued to spout nonsense, Lance would run away in anger.

Theodore wiped his sweat helplessly.

And when Darren saw this, his bad feeling intensified.

He did not say anything else. He just took the folder and carefully flipped through the contents.

He wouldn’t have known if he hadn’t flipped through it, but he was shocked!

There was actually a record of Lance making a full profit from buying stocks!

This… This is what an eight-year-old child could do?

Darren swallowed his saliva. After the shock, he felt indignant.

He had clearly gained a lot in experience. He only became the manager of the Stock Market Center after a long time.

However, an eight-year-old Lance appeared halfway and defeated him under the witness of everyone!

This had caused him to lose face?

Looking further, how could he survive in the company in the future?

Would anyone cling to this matter and question his authority?

The complicated emotions made Darren abnormally frustrated. Just as he became very annoyed, a childish voice came.

“I was lucky to win this time.”

“Mr. Darren, the stock you bought will rise in three days. When it’s thrown out at eight o’clock sharp three days later, you’ll definitely make a killing.”

It was Lance who spoke.

Lance looked at him. His already pleasing facial features made him even cuter in Darren’s eyes.

Having been in the business world for many years, Darren reacted quickly. He knew that Lance’s short speeches were actually helping him out.

At the same time, Lance’s words allowed him to consolidate his position so that his dignity would not be damaged.

This child…

Darren couldn’t help but like Lance a little more.

Thinking back over the past few days, he was the one who questioned Lance first, and Lance accepted it calmly.

Guilt mixed with fondness made Darren look at Lance with some gratitude.

“Thank you.”

Darren mouthed at Lance.

A silent thank you let Lance know that Darren’s displeasure with him had been completely eradicated.

Sure enough, the next moment, Darren stood before everyone.

“Little Lance is a prodigy!”

“He’s talented to be able to double the stock winnings six times in just three days.”

“To be able to remain calm in the face of my doubts, this talent is rare!”

Darren wasn’t stingy with his praises for Lance. At the same time, he gave himself a way out.

“What? Why did Mr. Darren suddenly change his mind?”

“Can’t you tell? The conversation between Mr. Theodore and the manager just now probably was that Lance didn’t cheat.”

“So… Lance is really powerful?”

“What else? What about the brother who has to wash his hair upside down? He can keep his promise now.”

“Haha, that Big Brother should be hiding! I had the foresight not to easily question the prodigy.”

“…”

The employees felt even more admiration for Lance because of Darren’s attitude.

Lance smiled.

“Thank you for your praise, Mr. Darren. I’ll continue to work hard in the future.”

Lance did not become proud in the face of Darren’s praise. He only responded weakly.

His neither arrogant nor impetuous attitude made Darren even happier.

Darren felt that Lance’s future was limitless.

With this talent, Lance would definitely become a legend in the future!

Darren’s eyes darted around at the thought.

This kind of child with high EQ and IQ was rare.

Now that Lance was at their Stock Market Center, shouldn’t they seize the opportunity? Otherwise, Lance’s talent would be discovered by other companies. If they were a step late, they would suffer a huge loss.

After thinking it through, Darren quickly spoke in a serious tone to Lance.

“Little Lance, with your talent, you should stay in our company!”

“Ah, right. I know you still need to go to school now, but even if you’re in our company in name only, you can come back after graduation.”

“I’m serious, Lance. Trust me. Your future is bright, don’t waste your talent.”

With that, Darren looked at Lance excitedly.

If Lance could work in their company in name, then when he announced to the public that the genius young man was working in their company, their company would definitely become popular!

Darren had a particularly good plan.

Even the employees were shocked.

“This treatment is too fairy-like, right? I want this treatment too.”

“Wash up and go to sleep. Do you have the talent of little Lance?”

“As expected, geniuses are good. You can get a good job at such a young age, unlike us who have to submit resumes crazily.”

“Do you think little Lance will agree?”

“I think so. There’s no reason not to agree to such conditions.”

“I don’t think we can be sure. How can any of us guess the way geniuses think? Let’s wait for Lance’s answer.”

“…”

The employees instantly began to look forward to Lance’s answer.

However, Lance shook his head apologetically under Darren’s enthusiastic attitude and the burning gazes of his employees.

Darren froze.

The employees were also instantly stunned.

This plunged the scene into silence.

Is he refusing? There’s no reason.

Before Darren and the staff could think it through, Lance said, “I’m sorry, but that’s not my only goal. I might have to disappoint you.”

This voice was resounding and forceful, and was strikingly evident in the silent space!
