In the boss's private office, David solemnly introduced Mike's identity to Darcy and Nick, and at the same time informed them of Mike's requirements.
Wall Street? King Investment Company? Logo?
Upon learning that the overly handsome young man in front of her was actually the behind-the-scenes boss of an investment company with a market value of half a billion, Darcy's eyes showed surprise.
Meanwhile, Nick, who was standing nearby, was filled with envy.
"King Investment Company is an investment company dedicated to providing financial assistance to individuals or small businesses with specialized skills or unique concepts to complete their initial startup..."
Mike briefly introduced the nature of his investment company, then looked at the two slightly excited designers in front of him and said, "That's roughly the situation. Do you have any ideas for the logo of such a company?"
The formation of a large company's logo is not achieved overnight; it requires a preliminary draft, which is then used to design the specific logo.
Currently, whether the draft can satisfy the client and thus secure the final order is what Darcy and Nick need to consider most.
Of course, this is also a good opportunity for them to prove their worth.
Darcy, understanding the seriousness of the matter, immediately fell into deep thought and began a brainstorming session.
Nick, on the other hand, seemed a bit distracted, pretending to be deep in thought, but in reality, his peripheral vision was constantly peeking at Darcy.
Needless to say, this man was probably engaged in shameless "plagiarism," preparing for an unearned gain.
More than ten minutes passed, and Darcy had already finished thinking. With confidence, she was the first to speak: "Mr. Mike, based on your company's name, I think your logo might have a crown symbol, representing the King..."
However, before Darcy could finish speaking, Nick, who had been eavesdropping on her thoughts, eagerly interrupted, "Investment company... illuminating others... the crown can be designed in the shape of a sun, and if necessary, a smiling face can be added..."
"Oh, and because your company's model is an angel round, it's best to add two angelic arms on either side of the crown... That's all of my ideas."
Through the ability of what women are thinking, Nick completely stole Darcy's creativity. After a rapid-fire speech, he adopted a gentlemanly demeanor, smiled at his female colleague, and deliberately asked, "Director Darcy, do you have anything else to add?"
"No, nothing. What you said was very good." Since everything she wanted to say had been said by someone else, Darcy naturally had nothing to add.
In fact, her gaze towards Nick, this "plagiarist," even held a hint of admiration.
Anyone who encounters someone whose thoughts align with their own multiple times will feel that the other person is their soulmate.
Darcy's current thought process was probably something like that.
"Mr. Mike, what do you think?" After listening to his employees' draft, David turned to Mike.
Whether this cooperation could be achieved primarily depended on the client's wishes.
In other words, the decision-making power was entirely with Mike from beginning to end.
"Your company's professional level is truly impressive," Mike praised, then continued, "Then, the logo design work will be handed over to..."
At this point, Mike deliberately paused until Nick's smile became somewhat stiff, then he announced, "It will be handed over to Mr. Nick..."
[Blessing. Hearing Women's Thoughts (Trait)]
Upon hearing this, the smile on Nick's face bloomed again, and in his excitement, a characteristic light cluster even burst forth.
However, before he could be happy for long, Mike's voice came again: "I can see that Ms. Darcy's graphic design skill is also very good, so this logo design will be handed over to both of you..."
"As long as the finished product is satisfactory, you don't have to worry about the remuneration."
After making his final decision, Mike also gave Nick, whose expression was complex, a meaningful look.
To be honest, Nick's previous professional level was actually quite good. But due to jealousy, he lost his composure.
Moreover, after gaining the ability of Hearing Women's Thoughts, he was solely focused on taking shortcuts and plagiarizing Darcy's ideas.
This stubborn approach gradually caused him to lose his abilities of "thinking" and "innovation."
Although for now, he had suppressed his opponent Darcy, problems would inevitably arise in the long run.
Of course, these matters had little to do with Mike. Having obtained the ability of Hearing Women's Thoughts, he had no interest in guiding other people's lives.
At this moment, with his new ability, he was trying to listen to Needy's thoughts.
After all, this woman was like a ticking time bomb, posing a significant threat to girls like Lina.
This left Mike with no choice but to be cautious.
However, he didn't know if it was because Needy was gradually losing human emotions, but Mike couldn't hear her thoughts for a while.
On the other hand, Darcy, who was nearby, was feeling ashamed at the moment for "taking" Nick's chance to shine alone.
This woman seemed unapproachable, but her heart was not bad.
...
"Needy, I remember there's a coffee shop downstairs. Go buy me two iced Americanos and bring them up," Mike suddenly commanded.
If there's no opportunity, create one.
Mike still decided to test Needy again.
"Iced Americano? We have that in our company. I'll send someone to get it for you." Facing a big client, David was a step ahead of Needy, showing his enthusiastic side.
"No, I just want the one from the shop downstairs." Mike emphasized his tone, while also observing Needy's reaction.
At this, David understood the atmosphere and no longer dared to speak casually.
Darcy and Nick, who were nearby, were even startled and didn't dare to breathe loudly.
However, to everyone's surprise, there was still no "dissatisfaction" in Needy's heart. After confirming the task, she turned and walked out of the office.
As the office door opened, a flurry of chaotic thoughts immediately entered Mike's mind.
'He's indeed even more handsome than star...'
'If only I could be his girlfriend...'
'I wonder if he's just a pretty face...'
...
The topics became more and more explicit.
Facts proved that upon seeing a super handsome man, women's thoughts were bolder than men's.
And Mike, hearing that many women were planning to use "falling" or "spilling coffee" and other accidents to strike up a conversation with him, finally couldn't help but frown.
Being too popular was also a kind of trouble.
Especially when the other party didn't meet his aesthetic standards.
"Sorry, Mr. Mike. My employees are disturbing you. I'll go deal with it right away." David, who was very good at reading expressions, gave Mike a smile and then walked towards the door.
Because they heard that a super handsome man had arrived at the company, a large group of female employees gathered outside the boss's office, waiting to catch a glimpse of the handsome man.
What Mike heard earlier were their thoughts.
"Aren't you supposed to be working? What are you all doing crowding here!!!" With David's lion's roar, the female employees scattered with giggles.
"All right, Mr. Mike. The problems are all solved." David, who had returned, put on a smile again and said, "Next, how about we discuss the specific details of the cooperation?"
"No problem." Mike, whose ears were now clear, said, "I'm very satisfied with your proposal. I will have Chris give you a deposit first..."
"Once the finished product is ready, you can go directly to King Investment Company on Wall Street to hand it over to Chris."
Mike, having already reaped the benefits, had no intention of continuing to "entangle" with this design company.
Just as the cooperation agreement was basically finalized, Needy returned, holding two iced Americanos.
"Thank you for your creativity. These two coffees are on me." Mike took the iced Americanos from Needy's hand and turned to place them in front of Darcy and Nick.
Then, he left with Needy, who had just returned.
"Do you have anything to say?" Mike asked specifically after leaving the office.
Needy shook her head coldly, still without any thoughts of dissatisfaction in her mind.
However, in the design company next door, the female employees who were pretending to work started fantasizing again when they saw Mike come out.
It had already reached the point of "sexual harassment."
In this situation, being able to constantly hear women's thoughts might not necessarily be a good thing.
"Then let's go!" Mike called Needy and quickly walked downstairs.
Listening to the unspeakable thoughts of the women here, Mike didn't want to stay there for another moment.
"Please take care, Mr. Mike." The beautiful receptionist at the front desk politely saw Mike off.
"Okay," Mike, who rarely didn't hear the other party's fantasizing thoughts, smiled and bid farewell to the beautiful receptionist.
'What a perky butt... she must be really good in that area... I really envy his girlfriend...'
However, after only a few steps, the beautiful receptionist's thoughts came into Mike's mind.
This...
Do infatuated people have specific time slots?
"Is there anything else, Mr. Mike?" Seeing Mike stop, the beautiful receptionist showed a sweet smile again.
However, girl, you've already exposed yourself.
"No," Mike shook his head speechlessly, then quickened his pace to leave.
If he stayed any longer, he felt like he would have a mental breakdown.
