After simply editing the live broadcast, Katie immediately knocked on the door of the chief editor, Jack’s office.

“Why are you looking for me instead of working hard?”

When he opened the door and saw that it was Katie, Jack’s face darkened instantly.

“Your internship is still a month away. Don’t hope that I’ll give you a raise!”

“Chief Editor, I’m not looking for you about the salary increase.”

Katie has long been used to Jack’s ways. Instead of being angry, she put on a flattering smile.

“I just dug up shocking news from the Manhattan Police Department!”

“What big news can the Manhattan Police Department have?”

Hearing that it was the Manhattan Police Department, boredom flashed across Jack’s face.

After being the chief editor for so long, it wasn’t as if he hadn’t interviewed the Manhattan Police Department. But as Frank had said, the crime rate in Manhattan was too low.

Even if there were any cases, they were just ordinary burglaries.

Therefore, when he heard Katie’s words, disdain flashed across Jack’s face.

“Do you think I haven’t been to the Manhattan Police Department to interview before? What big cases can there be over there? What a joke! If you’re really too bored, I don’t mind giving you more work.”

Hearing the warning in Jack’s words, Katie quickly explained.

“No, Chief Editor, this is really a big case! If you don’t believe me, just take a look at my video. I guarantee it will surprise you!”

Seeing the eagerness on Katie’s face, it didn’t seem fake. Jack clicked on the video skeptically.

Half an hour later.

“Are you sure this is true?!”

After seeing the content of the video, Jack’s breathing quickened in an instant. His eyes burned as he stared at the video.

If it was true, this would definitely be big news that would shake the entire country!

A genius child who was only eight years old!

“I swear that this is definitely true. If I’m lying at all, I won’t get a single salary for a year!”

Katie quickly gave her assurance, her face serious.

Seeing the look on Katie’s face, Jack suddenly laughed out loud.

“Good! Good! You’ve really done something big!”

“No, no, it’s all thanks to Chief Editor’s teachings.”

Seeing the satisfaction on Jack’s face, Katie quickly complimented him.

The submissive look made Jack feel even better. He reached out and patted her shoulder, and spoke with a tone full of meaning.

“Well done. This job is still a little unfair to you now.”

“Thank you, Chief Editor!”

Katie’s face lit up at the implication, and her smile widened.

After obtaining the breaking news, Jack rushed to the television station.

When Lance returned home from school, the television station happened to be broadcasting news about this matter.

Before the Lance family could see it, Alia, who worked in the investment industry, saw it first.

With the sharp observation skills of investors, Alia instantly realized that Lance was not ordinary.

This child was definitely not an ordinary person!

Realizing this, Alia immediately called Fred.

“Hi, old buddy. How have you been?”

Fred was surprised that Alia would call him.

“I’m fine. Why did you suddenly call me?”

“I saw what happened to Lance on TV. I didn’t expect him to be so powerful! The child’s future is immeasurable!”

He did not expect that Alia was looking for him because of Lance. A bitter smile flashed across Fred’s face.

“He’s not as powerful as you make him out to be. He just got lucky.”

“Don’t be modest.”

Alia waved her hand, thinking he was joking.

If this isn’t impressive, what else can be considered a genius?

There was a pause. Alia didn’t give Fred another chance to explain. She went straight to the point.

“I think very highly of Lance. I want to ask him if he has any plans for further investments. I want to invest 300,000 yuan with him.”

“What?!”

Fred was horrified.

He still did not think that Lance actually bought the stocks with his own ability.

In his heart, it was just a lucky accident for Lance. If Alia really followed him to invest, wouldn’t the 300,000 yuan be wasted?

Afraid of what Alia might be saying, Fred spoke quickly.

“Lance probably won’t be thinking about that anytime soon. We’ll talk about it another time.”

With that, Fred hung up.

And Lance walked through the door just in time to see Fred hang up.

Lance blinked when Fred frowned.

“What’s wrong, Dad?”

“Lance is out of school?”

Hearing voices, Fred turned to see Lance standing in the doorway.

Sighing, Fred said nothing but stroked his head.

Soon, the family of three saw this news at the dining table.

Putting the matter before them again, Fred and Helen were embarrassed. For both of them, it was just a big blunder.

How could an eight-year-old know so much?

But this was only what the two of them thought.

In fact, after the news report was released, the Internet was filled with reports about this matter.

Some netizens who had watched the live broadcast were crazily circulating it online.

This was no joke. They had personally witnessed the birth of a genius!

For a moment, the Internet was filled with reports about the genius child, Lance.

It even reached the top of the popularity rankings!

At this moment, Lance had already become a big internet celebrity on the Internet. If not for the fact that he was only eight years old and did not have his own personal account, some merchants would have already filled his inbox with announcements.

However, becoming an internet celebrity did not satisfy Lance.

In his opinion, internet celebrities were just toys for some rich people. Once they were of no use, they could be casually abandoned.

He did not want to be such a rich man’s toy. He wanted to be the richest man in the world!

However, he did not say this shocking thought to the Fred couple.

After thinking for a moment, Lance found the two of them and voiced his thoughts.

“Dad, Mom, I have something to discuss with you.”

Seeing that Lance had volunteered to communicate, Fred and Helen looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

“What are you getting at?”

“Can I drop out of school?”

Unexpectedly, this was all Lance said. Surprise flashed across Fred’s face, but his attitude was still very gentle.

“Can you tell Dad why?”

Lance was very calm.

“I’ve already learned the high school curriculum myself. The school can’t teach me anything now. Continuing to attend school is a waste of time”.

Self-learning courses in high school?

Fred was even more surprised.

Before he could say anything, Lance continued.

“Other than this, I also want to borrow 30,000 yuan from you. Other than the Nasdaq, I’ve taken a fancy to some other stocks. I want to use this time to continue expanding the resources in my hands.”
