Smart women, with flexible minds, saw Felix Shaw asking her this question, Mia Foster handed over the menu to the server, crossed her hands together, tilted her head slightly, directed her gaze onto a certain spot of the table and smilingly said, "I joined the company after graduating from university, but I didn’t start from the bottom."
Felix Shaw sneered in disdain, he knew she must have relied on her family. Mia Foster’s gaze was already on him, and the sneer on Felix’s lips had not yet subsided when he let out an uneasy cough, straightened his suit, and heard Mia continue, "Because of my abilities, I didn’t need to start from the bottom."
Felix Shaw maintained a polite smile on his face, but his heart was filled with scorn. Not starting from the bottom indeed had nothing to do with your abilities, but with your identity!
Any person with thoughts in their mind would show it on their face, and although Felix Shaw kept a frivolous smile, Mia Foster still noticed the subtle changes in him.
"Do you know? The first bucket of gold I earned in my life was a huge sum," although she was unsure whether Felix Shaw was interested in her success story, Mia believed it was necessary to show her excellent side to him, "I worked part-time overseas during university, washing dishes in a Western restaurant, and later invested the money I earned. In less than a year, I made tens of millions."
Felix Shaw was very curious. To invest money earned from part-time work and make tens of millions sounded like a fantasy. He casually asked, "What kind of investment did you do?"
Actually, he thought more that Mia Foster was bragging.
"Futures trading."
Felix Shaw raised his eyebrows, his heart cleared up. Investing in futures was risky, but if lucky, the profits could indeed come quickly. He nodded noncommittally, "You were lucky."
But Mia Foster disagreed with his view, "You’re wrong. My investment in futures isn’t based on luck, but on this."
She raised her hand and pointed to her head, Mia continued, "Every industry has its heyday and its bottlenecks. The heyday might not always be a good thing, and encountering a bottleneck could be the greatest turning point for the industry. I saw that clearly, that’s why I invested all my savings in oil when it was about to hit rock bottom, and in less than a month the oil price started to rebound..."
Felix Shaw found that when it came to doing business, Mia Foster spoke with authority and could rationally analyze the pros and cons of each industry. As a woman, she would be a welcome partner or subordinate, but as a girlfriend... Sorry, because Elizabeth White had already taken the primary place in his heart.
Since business had come up, the two found common ground to talk about, and the wait for the dishes turned out to be quite enjoyable. If not for their shared business language, Felix really wouldn’t know what else to talk about with her. Mia Foster was high in IQ but low in EQ. A man with high emotional intelligence truly cannot afford such damage.
The dinner went harmoniously, and Felix Shaw found that the matsutake mushrooms cooked according to Mia Foster’s method were indeed several times more delicious than usual. At this moment, Mia Foster began her lecture on health again. She talked about the local habit of using too much oil in cooking, how it not only made the taste greasy and masked the original flavor of the ingredients but was also totally unhealthy...
Felix Shaw had to admit that this woman really was extraordinary in talent, able to analyze everything seriously and rationally. If it weren’t for the dating context, in fact, he would prefer to be friends with her.
If they truly became husband and wife in the future, he would feel tremendous pressure.
