Julie said, "So what? Does this matter have anything to do with your failed business venture?"
Lumi nodded and looked at Nicole ingratiatingly. "Of course, it does! I heard that Clayton is a great investor. Everything he invested in has never lost money. He’s a visionary and a genius. Can you get him to guide me?"
Nicole looked at Lumi speechlessly and thought, 'That's it?'
Yvette could not help but snicker.
"With that meager capital of yours, you'd better just keep it to buy handbags."
Lumi rubbed her hands. “I have money now!"
"Where did you get the money? Didn't your parents stop you from starting another business?"
Lumi arrogantly lifted her chin. "My husband has money. He said that he would give me $200 million a year to start a business. If I lost it all, I would just have to wait until the next year to start another business. That way, I can try again every year..."
The corners of Yvette's and Julie's lips twitched.
Nicole said, "This is the first time I find that the word 'entrepreneurship' is a derogatory term..."
Lumi smiled. "So, will you get Clayton to guide me?"
Nicole was silent as she lowered her head t o draw a card.
Lumi had no other choice but to show her trump card and send Nicole the photo. "Is this okay now?"
Nicole smiled.
"Great! But I have to warn you that investment is risky. You must be extra careful when you invest in any industry. I can only tell you the fields that Clayton currently intends to invest in, but I can't guarantee that you’ll make money from them.”
Lumi jumped up excitedly.
"Great, no problem!"
As long as Lumi could find out about Clayton's direction of investment, she felt like it would be a sure thing.
Nicole wrote a few words on a piece of paper and gave it to Lumi, who took it with both hands like she was holding a treasure.
"OMG! I'm about to climb up to the peak of life! Did you guys see that?"
Yvette and Julie shook their heads without hesitation.
Nicole could not help but laugh.
Somehow, the delicate girl that Ian invited came over with a glass of wine. Her eyes were a little red as if she had just cried.
