Chapter 740: Notes
Li Qiao lowered her gaze and smiled, "Then I’ll trouble Mr. Charles."
Charles waved his hand and, looking directly into her eyes, couldn’t help but sigh once more, "You know, you two really do look alike. Many say we can’t distinguish Eastern faces, but when it comes to the Female Stock God, I would never mistake her."
A nostalgic expression crossed his face, and he spoke with a tinge of regret, "She was like half a teacher to me. If it weren’t for her guidance, the Charles’s family might not be here today."
"How did you come to know each other?" Li Qiao leaned back, scrutinizing Charles with focused attention.
His expression and demeanor seemed familiar to Li Qiao.
Just a few days ago, she had seen the same kind of heartfelt emotion and regret on the face of her mentor, Mu Aoxian.
Charles slightly squinted his eyes, gradually sinking into memories.
He had met Jing Yilan at an upper-class ball. At that time, she was already making her mark in the stock market and was full of vigor and spirit.
The history of the Charles’s family might be long, but that didn’t prevent them from eventually running dry.
At this point, Charles took out a box of thin cigars from his pocket, lit one for himself, and continued reminiscing, "I remember that back then, there were many men courting her, or as you would say, like carp crossing the river. In fact, I greatly admired her too, as her ability to manipulate the stock market was simply too strong."
Li Qiao understood. There were no shortage of outstanding women in that era, but those who could bring financial wealth were extremely rare.
