Life at The Top novel Chapter 1894

It was obvious that this blondie had no idea of a saying that was popular amidst the older generation of people of Somer descent: don’t rub salt into one’s wounds.

Her question was equivalent to slapping Joe right across the face, and it made the venue’s atmosphere turn eerily bizarre..

The reason behind this bizarreness was because, on one hand, you had the reporters who were so excited their eyes were turning bloodshot whereas, on the other hand, you had Joe Langdon, who had such a sour expression on his face that it could curdle milk.

Kennedy was feeling awkward too because he had no idea how to respond to a question like that.

Joe reached over and took the microphone, then asked, “Miss Reporter. May I know if you have any experience in financial investments besides your income from this job?”

The gleeful look on the blondie’s face

turned into a stunned expression. She had

no idea why Joe would ask her a question

like that, but she still replied, “Yes, I’ve

bought some funds.”

“And how are your profits?” Joe asked.

The reporter answered honestly, “The US

economy is rubbish now, so my losses

have totalled to about half a year’s worth o

f my salary.”

That statement resonated deeply with the

hearts of most of the American reporters

present.

As one of the most well-developed

countries in the world, the United States

had a wide financial investment coverage.

Most families would also work with a

fund management company to invest

their funds.

When you looked at the United States’

economy, it was impossible for a scenario

wherein they did not suffer any losses to

exist.

Therefore, the blondie could consider

herself lucky that she had only lost half a year’s worth of her salary.

“Very good. I have one last question for you. Would your friends cut ties with you because you’ve lost half a year’s worth of your salary?”

Everyone fell silent when they heard what Joe said.

Feelings of resentment also began washing over them.

You think several hundred billion US Dollars is equivalent to half a year’s worth of our salaries?

God d*mn it!

Obviously, Joe did not care what the reporters thought of that as he continued saying, “It’s normal to have both profits and losses in your investment journey.. Fongroup has been expanding at such a rapid pace that it needed to be taught a lesson and to calm it down.

“I don’t think this loss is an entirely bad thing, as it has encouraged everyone in Fongroup, including myself, to reflect on our business investment strategies and locate the problematic areas within

ourselves.

“Thankfully, I have located the diseased portion and am working on getting rid of i t. This cross-ownership with Hope Group and Atticus Group is also part of my plan i n exploring more options that allow me to run Fongroup even more effectively.”

There was a reason why Joe had managed t o establish Fongroup and expand it to where it stood today.

It could be said that Joe Langdon was amidst the brightest stars within the business lords of Harbor City.

A person like that would not be defeated b y a reporter.

Thus, with just several statements, he not only managed to answer the prickly question that the reporter had asked, but h e also managed to redirect everyone’s attention back onto the three companies’ collaboration.

It was not something that an average person could pull off.

Just as this slight crisis was averted, a reporter standing in the corner of the room raised their hand to ask a question.
