I recognized him instantly—he looked even more refined than on television.
He had a lean, handsome face, a tall and upright figure, dressed in a crisp suit, and held a cup of coffee in his hand.
Every movement and gesture exuded the calm and restraint of a business elite.
He walked over wearing shiny black leather shoes.
“Thank you, I’m fine,” I stammered, embarrassed to meet his gaze.
“Here’s a pack of tissues. You can wipe yourself off.”
The man took a packet of tissues from his jacket pocket and handed it to me.
“My name is Jason Lister.”
I was astonished and covered my mouth in shock. “I know you! You’re famous in the investment world, truly an accomplished young man.”
“Not really, just lucky,” Jason replied with a meaningful smile.
Jason asked where I was headed.
It turned out he was going the same way and offered to give me a ride.
“Really? Thank you so much!”
It was indeed a long way to the stock exchange, and it was hard to find a cab.
I couldn’t hide my excitement and accepted his offer.
In the car, he talked about his experiences.
Back when he graduated from university and was job hunting, he hitched a ride from a kind stranger on his way to an interview.
Unexpectedly, that person turned out to be his superior and helped him a lot, so he now enjoyed helping others.
“We seem to have a bit of fate too, don’t we?”
“Thanks to you, otherwise I don’t know how long I would’ve waited for a cab.”
When we arrived at the massive stock exchange, there was a steady flow of people coming and going.
Relying on my memory of the trends of a few stocks, I invested the 50 thousand dollars I got from Rick along with the 80 thousand dollars from the fixed savings account.
I was very satisfied because I knew that in no time, my capital would multiply tenfold or even more.
I noticed that Jason was looking at me with a gaze that carried both curiosity and admiration.
“Why did you choose to invest in these particular stocks?”
