The next day, David Carter hurriedly scrambled to gather all the equipment and rushed to deliver it to the Thor company, only to find that Thor had moved quickly—within just one day, the newly rented office space already had a sign up. However, the sign was all in abbreviations, crafted with great finesse, clearly not the work of an ordinary company.

Miss Jenkins heard the commotion, walked out from her own company, and stood at the door reading the sign: “...Sauron Capital.”

Sauron—it seemed to be the name of the Dark Lord in the novel "The Lord of the Rings"... But David Carter didn’t care what the other party called themselves, as long as they paid in the end. However, the last two characters on the sign puzzled him. Unable to contain his curiosity, he quietly asked Miss Jenkins, “Capital? What does that mean, is it a joint-stock company or a trading firm? This sign doesn’t seem to be in English.”

Miss Jenkins shot David Carter a sidelong glance: “It’s French.”

David Carter immediately showered her with praise: “Manager Jenkins, you even know French? You’re amazing, taller than this whole building! You really know a lot! I forgot all my English right after the exam, now I can only recognize common words... So, you must know what this sign means?”

Miss Jenkins relaxed her facial muscles, glanced at David Carter, and teased, “Forgot everything after the exam, huh? But it hasn’t been that long since you took it... The word ‘capital’ appearing here means it’s neither a joint-stock company nor a trading company. It’s a capital operation enterprise—the product it sells is companies themselves.”

This explanation gave David Carter a headache. After a brief pause, Miss Jenkins quickly added, “It’s something like venture capital. It can’t be called a fund; calling it ‘capital’ means it doesn’t publicly raise funds, most are independently held by individuals, mainly engaging in acquisitions and mergers. There are plenty of such institutions on Wall Street.”

David Carter suddenly understood: “I get it now, everyone’s doing work similar to venture capital. If you raise funds from the public, it’s called a ‘fund’. If it’s independently held, it’s called ‘capital’... Oh, I’ve learned something new.”

Miss Jenkins nodded, then her delicate, well-manicured hand—nails painted with high-end polish—unexpectedly helped David Carter lift the equipment, making David Carter feel a surge of excitement... However, after carrying the equipment inside, Miss Jenkins immediately left David Carter behind and began to converse politely with Thor.

The two of them were conversing in foreign languages. Miss Jenkins spoke very quickly, and during the conversation, she seemed to use more than two languages, frequently gesturing to herself... Judging by her actions, if she added a resume handover, it would be a classic job application scene.

During their conversation, Thor received a phone call and stepped away for a moment. David Carter quickly moved closer to Miss Jenkins and whispered, “Is Manager Jenkins recommending herself?”

Miss Jenkins didn’t respond. David Carter snickered, “Ahaha, didn’t your previous company just expand operations? The office equipment was only installed yesterday, and now you’re already thinking about switching jobs?”

Miss Jenkins glanced at Thor, who was on the phone, and whispered, “You don’t know, these capital institutions that buy and sell companies offer salaries that are absolutely satisfying... Just don’t tell my old company about this, and I’ll give you an iPhone as a gift.”

David Carter looked at Miss Jenkins half-doubtfully and probed, “Looks like you’re close to success? Otherwise, you wouldn’t give me such an expensive gift. Is this hush money? I’m just a nobody, you don’t need to be so generous... You’re being so polite, it makes me feel awkward...”

Miss Jenkins nodded confidently: “Foreigners don’t beat around the bush. If it’s a yes, it’s a yes; if not, it’s not. If he wanted to reject me, he would have said so directly just now. Since he didn’t refuse and instead asked about my experience, there’s an eighty percent chance. The remaining twenty percent depends on my own performance. You’ll be installing equipment at Sauron Capital these days, so keep an eye on their activities for me. I’ll order your phone right away, and you’ll have it by the time you get off work. If there’s any new development, don’t forget to let me know!”

David Carter was quite impressed by Miss Jenkins’s shrewdness, but he still kindly reminded her: “The offices are right across from each other, don’t be too impulsive. If you switch to this company, won’t it be awkward running into your old colleagues every day?”

Miss Jenkins smiled calmly: “What’s there to be awkward about? I earn my salary and do my job conscientiously, living up to my pay. After ending an employment relationship, am I not allowed to find another job? There’s no legal restriction on where I work next. Besides, Sauron Capital’s business doesn’t overlap with my old company, so there’s even less of a connection.”

Miss Jenkins spoke with conviction... As a fellow salaried employee, David Carter naturally agreed with her view—people strive for better opportunities, and if there’s a promising future, of course it’s worth changing jobs. But Miss Jenkins’s actions probably made her old boss uncomfortable... Not that it mattered to David Carter. After chatting with Miss Jenkins, he left her behind and began efficiently installing the equipment.
