The manager was surprised to hear such a mature and oppressive sentence coming out of a young girl’s mouth.

Although the words of the young girl did not go well with her soft and cute appearance, the manager felt a little guilty after hearing it. The young girl had indeed hit the nail on the head.

The company they were working with this time was introduced by a trusted friend, so, he was not very meticulous when checking the other party’s qualifications.

The manager looked up and saw that the eyes of the little girl in front of him were extremely bright. Her large, deep gem-like eyes were flickering with a faint light, as if she understood everything.

However, this gaze was so out of place with the little girl’s soft and cute appearance. He lowered his head and glanced at Sheila’s soft little hand that was holding onto the document containing the company’s information. It was not even as big as a quarter of a piece of paper.

The manager immediately suppressed the unease that had just appeared in the depths of his heart.

“She’s still a child who doesn’t know anything. She’s probably not even weaned yet. I’ve been doing business investments for so many years. Why should I be intimidated by a little child!

Moreover, although the examination was not too detailed, investing is already a risk itself! Now that the other party has already come over to sign the contract, I’m only one step away from success. As long as I can secure this huge multibillion-dollar deal, I won’t have to worry about anything else in the second half of the year!”

In the face of the huge temptation of benefits, the investment manager didn’t notice that the so-called important customer’s expression changed abruptly after hearing little Sheila’s words.

The investment manager was not willing to carefully consider the words of a five-year-old child. He immediately made a decision in his heart. First, he smiled apologetically to the customer and said, “The child is just playing around. You must not take it to heart.”

He turned his head to face Sheila and immediately changed his expression, putting on a serious and angry expression. He said with a threatening tone, “You’re just a clueless child. Don’t disrupt an adult’s matters. Go, go, go. Quickly get out of the way. Otherwise, your parents will teach you a lesson later.”

After he finished speaking, the investment manager reached out and grabbed me, wanting to pull me aside.

If I was still the 17-year-old girl from my previous life, even four or five strong men wouldn’t be able to touch me, let alone such an investment manager. After all, taekwondo black-belters weren’t that easy to deal with.

I was helpless. The small body that I was stuck in in this life was really too small. Even my body hadn’t fully grown yet. No matter how good my fighting skills were, they were useless in front of adults.

The secretary hadn’t returned yet. No one could help me now. I could only use my hands to tightly grasp the information in front of me. I firmly held onto the printed business contract in my hands.

When the investment manager saw my actions, the fury in his heart rose. It was only because he was in front of his important client that he didn’t directly grab the information out of my hands.

He was so angry that he was about to explode. He didn’t know who this disobedient child was. Looking at his terrifying gaze, one could already know that he wished he could throw me out.

Seeing that his threat was useless, the investment manager had no choice but to soften his tone. He pretended to have a kind smile on his face, he lowered his voice and said to me, “Little girl, be obedient. Let go of the document in your hand and give it to me, okay? I will take you downstairs to eat delicious ice cream.”

“Tsk, do you really think I’m a five-year-old kid? Are you actually trying to use ice cream to manipulate me?” I rolled my eyes in my heart, and I was determined to not let this contract be signed today. Uncle Steve had been so good to me, I wasn’t willing to let his company suffer losses.

With this black-hearted company changing its name and continuing to scam others’ money, as a financial talent in the 21st century, how could I let these opportunistic scammers obtain such undeserved benefits!

“Really?” I pretended to be moved, expressing my interest in the ice cream. I was stalling for time because I was afraid that this investment manager would be blinded by greed and directly snatch the contract from my hands.

“Of course! I promise that as long as you give me the contract in your hands, I will definitely take you to eat ice cream!” Seeing that I had bitten his bait, the investment manager immediately revealed an excited expression and started to express his determination..
