Ever since Jack deliberately asked Tom to spread the news that "the stock market is going to soar" in the unit, he had actually been waiting for someone to take the bait. Jack had always been unable to forget this person, so much so that many years later, he even specifically inquired about her news.
After Emily had approached Tom, people successively "happened" to meet Tom at the corner of the stairs, in the restroom, and even on the way back to Sunshine Apartment.
Tom had already thrown caution to the wind at this time. As long as someone asked him about the stock market, he would pat his chest and guarantee, firmly insisting that the stock market would soar, and that it would soar continuously.
These words not only reassured those people but also made their hearts surge with excitement. Some people even thought about what they would do after making money.
Seeing them like this, Tom was also happy in his heart. He thought that whether they could make money or not, it was good to make them happy first. Otherwise, they would always have a stern face and look so lifeless as if everyone owed them money.
As usual, no matter who came to ask him, he would tell Jack about it. Every time Jack heard it, he would just smile and not say much.
The person Jack wanted to wait for wasn't them.
Just like this, two or three days passed, and Jack finally waited for the person he wanted to wait for.
This person didn't look for an opportunity to "happen" to meet Tom but directly came to the monitoring room. At that time, only Jack and Tom were on duty in the monitoring room. When this person knocked on the door, Tom glanced at the screen and then got up to open the door and let her in.
This was a special person, so special that it was hard to know how to evaluate her.
When this person came in, Jack's eyes lit up.
"Little Jack, I'm here to find you." The person who came in said with a smile.
Jack sat there and smiled at her too.
After Tom brought over a chair, he looked at her in a bit of a daze.
"I already know that the words Tom said were all spread from you."
This person didn't sit down but stood at the door, looking beaming.
Jack didn't say anything, and neither did Tom.
"Oh, why are these two big guys playing the deep and mysterious game?"
As she spoke, this person took two steps forward and then gracefully sat down on that chair.
Jack gave a heh-heh laugh, and Tom also laughed.
This person laughed too, and she looked very nice when she laughed. Although she was already in her thirties, just looking at her dressing and appearance, it was impossible to tell that she was almost forty.
Although her face was beautiful, after all, it carried the unique charm of a mature woman, so people didn't think of her as young and beautiful.
This was a woman who was especially good to Jack. Since the first day Jack started working, this person had taken great care of Jack, to the extent that Jack once felt a bit embarrassed.
Later, he learned that she was like this to everyone. As long as there was something she could help with, she would definitely do it, and she would do it without asking for any reward.
But Jack still felt that she treated him differently from others. He couldn't say why, but Jack just felt that she was particularly good to him.
Could it be because he was an orphan?
But almost no one in the sub-branch knew that he was an orphan.
Jack knew that he couldn't ask her about this. Asking would only make both of them feel awkward.
The three of them smiled meaningfully. After the laughter, Jack said, "Sister Kathy, what's up? Are you also trading stocks?"
The woman shook her head and said, "I don't have that kind of leisure."
"Then you—"
"Little Jack, how many years have you been in the bank? I remember you've only been working here for two years. How did you suddenly become a stock god? Is it that the environment you're in is not good and it's led you astray?"
When she said this, the woman glanced at Tom intentionally or unintentionally. Tom gave her a helpless look and then went back and sat behind the monitoring screen.
The woman continued, "I came to find you today because I'm afraid you'll become the public enemy of everyone in the bank."
With a smile on his face, Jack said, "Sister Kathy, it's not likely that I'll become the public enemy of the whole bank. But making everyone in the bank trade stocks is something I want to do."
Sister Kathy was taken aback for a moment and said, "What? Do you really want to instigate everyone in the bank to trade stocks?"
Jack said playfully, "Sister Kathy is indeed extremely intelligent. Nothing can be hidden from you."
Sister Kathy raised her eyebrows and said, "Little Jack, you've really learned to be bad. You're doing things that are laborious but thankless. Don't you think that once they lose money, how will you face them in the future?"
"But what if they make money?"
"Even if they make money, they won't spend it on you. You're still wasting your efforts."
Jack stood up, stared at Sister Kathy's beautiful face, and said, "Sister Kathy, you can't say that. Since I joined the bank, many people have taken good care of me. Among them, you're the one who has been the best to me. So, I've always wanted to find an opportunity to repay everyone. This time, I asked Tom to spread the news in the bank that the stock market is going to soar, and this is exactly the reason."
Just as Sister Kathy was about to say something, Jack waved his hand and continued, "As for whether they can seize the opportunity, it depends on their own luck and their trust in Tom."
At this time, Tom waved his hand at Sister Kathy, looking very proud. Sister Kathy gave him a dirty look and said, "You asking Tom to do this can turn a good thing into a bad thing."
Tom was not convinced and pouted at her.
Jack said again, "But Sister Kathy, I hope you can seize the opportunity and earn some money for yourself. To be honest, no matter who in the bank makes money, it won't make me as happy as you making money."
These words made Sister Kathy feel deeply touched for a moment. But she still looked worried and asked Jack again, "Are you really so sure that the stock market will definitely soar this time? I've heard that this time, the whole nation is involved, and even the specialized stock trading institutions have stumbled."
"That's why the stock market will definitely soar."
When Jack said this, his face was firm, and his tone was one of certainty.
Sister Kathy was not stupid. As soon as she heard Jack say this, she seemed to suddenly understand something, and a light flashed in her eyes.
The specialized stock trading institutions, each of them not only had a background but also had abundant financial resources. Since their funds were trapped, there was no reason for them not to step in to rescue the market.
"The stock market will definitely rise, and it will soar?" Sister Kathy murmured to herself.
"Yes, it will soar, soar to a terrifying extent." Jack said affirmatively.
Sister Kathy stood up, walked back and forth twice in the small monitoring room, and then reached out to feel around on her body. Seeing this, Tom quickly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one, and offered it to her.
Sister Kathy had already taken the cigarette, but when she saw that it was Tom who offered it, she threw it back to him.
Then, Sister Kathy looked at Jack and said firmly, "Little Jack, sister will trust you this time."
Jack nodded. Tom said, "What? Is Sister Kathy also going to join our stock trading army?"
Sister Kathy smiled brightly at him and said, "Sister doesn't have that kind of leisure time. However, I'm willing to help Little Jack fulfill his wish. I like to help others achieve their good deeds."
After saying that, Sister Kathy turned around, opened the door, and left.
After Sister Kathy left, Jack and Tom smelled the faint scent of jasmine perfume in the monitoring room and then both laughed.
Tom laughed because he thought that although Sister Kathy said she wouldn't trade stocks, she was actually eager to do so in her heart.
And Jack laughed because he had successfully taken advantage of the situation.
Whose situation did he take advantage of? Naturally, it was Sister Kathy's.
