This was her good friend Nina Rice. When she heard that Jane was short of funds, she directly slapped several cards in front of her and was even willing to touch the foundational assets left to Jane by Granny Sampton and Grandpa Sampton.
"My mother didn’t agree with doing this, but I persuaded my father. He won’t stop , nor will he support . I sold my house in the city center, and with my savings from the last few years, combined with what you’ve given , we definitely have enough to start construction." Nina said, "Jane Sampson, I won’t stand on ceremony then. Consider this money as your investnt, and we’ll own shares proportionately to the amount of funds each of us put in."
Jane nodded, "Okay, if we’re still short on money later on, just let know, and I’ll find a way to gather so more."
Nina bent the corner of her mouth in a smile, umd a response, and the cards from Jane felt almost too hot to handle in her palm.
Jane receives a considerable amount of dividends from the Sampton Clan every year, so Nina could easily guess how much money these several cards might contain. "All the passwords are the sa, the last six digits of my WhatsAPP account," Jane said.
"Co on, here’s to us making a fortune! When we open for business, you, as a shareholder, must definitely co!" Nina poured Jane a generous glass of beer with a grand gesture, "Cheers!"
Jane hadn’t thought about investing before coming. She had just considered it as lending the money to Nina, because she always felt that Nina could succeed in whatever she set out to do. To offer money as an investnt when Nina was strapped for cash seed like taking advantage of her.
Now that Nina had brought it up herself, after pondering a bit, Jane didn’t refuse. She figured if they did incur losses, Nina wouldn’t be under as much pressure.
So, in the ti it took to share a al, Jane unexpectedly beca a shareholder in Nina’s future hotpot restaurant.
One al was all it took for Nina to solve her imdiate financial issues, and she was quite happy. And as Nina felt relieved, Jane was happy for her as well.
Jane always admired Nina, who, from childhood to adulthood, was able to do what she wanted, free and unfettered.
For her own entrepreneurial dreams, Nina could leave her consulting firm without fearing anyone’s gossip, nor the opposition from Mother Rice.
This was the life Jane admired, but could never live herself. So, she was willing to help Nina to the best of her abilities.
The two left the dining hall and headed ho separately. Neither of them was keen on nightlife, but due to a bit of traffic congestion, Jane didn’t get ho until around nine o’clock.
It was also 8 o’clock when the nightlife in Capital Province was just beginning, while over at the guard team, Jas Black had just barely finished his evening training.
After taking a shower, breaking his usual routine of reading, Jas sat at his desk and pulled out his mobile phone to open the photo album.
There weren’t many photos in Jas’s mobile phone. Aside from the photos that Jane had saved on his phone last ti, the only other photos were the group shots his teammates took for him with Jane at Tooth Spring.
In every photo, Jane was smiling especially happily. There were also two pictures where she was standing on tiptoe behind his back, making funny faces and rabbit ear gestures behind him.
Jas flipped through them one by one, painstakingly revisiting each photo once more.
After exiting the album, Jas downloaded WhatsAPP from the App Store and then went to find Peter Gingery.
At this ti, Peter was in the dormitory. Several roommates were huddled together, discussing topics without any taboo. The sudden appearance of Jas at the doorway scared the people inside into utter silence.
