  Shockingly High IQ

  Xiao Jiu obediently went back and forth from class every day. He also knew that his mother was busy until late at night every day. This was because his father

  had yet to return home.

  The reason he knew this was because he slept very late every day. When he heard the sound of the door opening next door, he could roughly guess when

  his mother had returned to the master bedroom.

  After going to class for more than ten days in a row, Xiao Jiu felt that it was a little boring.

  From the beginning of class, he was absent-minded, and in the end, he skipped class altogether.

  On this day, Xiao Jiu took advantage of the ten minutes between classes to climb out of the wall behind the school with his schoolbag on his back. The

  wall was nearly two meters high. No one would have thought that such a young child could climb over it.

  Xiao Jiu looked at the climbing tools, ropes, and grappling hooks in his hands.

  Then, he put them away into his schoolbag and walked away.

  Xiao Jiu was still some distance away from the bustling pedestrian street. He was not familiar with the surroundings here. Fortunately, his phone could help

  navigate and he had an extraordinary memory, so was very difficult for him to get

  lost.

  He just did not want to stay in school. He wanted to help find his father and make his mother happy.

  Xiao Jiu carried a large school bag and wandered aimlessly through the crowded streets. He looked at the advertisenments in the shops, clothes,

  jewelry, delicacies, and so on.

  If his father could see the advertisements, he might come back soon. Just as Xiao Jiu was thinking about the problem, he heard someone call out,

  “Little Boy.”


  He automatically looked over and saw a woman standing less than two meters away from him.

  Xiao Jiu had a good memory. He recognized her at a glance as the woman whom he had met at the airport the other day. Her name was Mo Cheng.

  Mo Cheng had come out to inspect the market. She did not expect to bump into the little boy again on the streets. She felt that this was a chance given to her by the heavens, and she had to seize it.

  She walked over and squatted down in front of Xiao Jiu. She smiled and asked,

  “Little Boy, why are you alone on the street? Where are your extremely good-looking parents?

  Xiao Jiu knew that his father’s disappearance was a secret. He replied, “My parents are very busy at work.”


  “Then why did you come out alone?” Mo Cheng glanced at the huge backpack on his back and said with an understanding expression, “You skipped class.”


  After being caught skipping class, Xiao Jiu’s expression changed. “I just came out to relax. I have to go back later.”


  “Alright, alright. I will just treat it as relaxation.” Mo Cheng held back her laughter as she spoke. After thinking for a while, she asked, “Then are you interested in being my company’s model and image spokesperson?”


  Xiao Jiu pointed at the billboard behind him and asked on hearing this, “Would it be the same as the billboard over there? Would it be seen all over the country?”


  Mo Cheng followed the direction of his finger and looked over. He saw that it was an advertisement for a famous brand of men’s clothing. The image spokesperson was a popular male star.

  An advertisement for a famous brand would definitely get seen all over the country.

  However, her company had just started. How could she pay for so much billboard space?

  Mo Cheng looked at Xiao Jiu and saw that he was looking at her with anticipation. She did not want to lie to him, so she could only tell him the

  truth. “That advertising spot needs to be bought with money. If it appears all over the country that would mean a lot of money. My company is a new startup and I am not even good enough to create my brand, let alone spend money to buy so many advertising spots. I’m only selling my stuff online. I believe that the brand I create one day will definitely become a world-famous brand. More children will get to wear the clothes I design both locally and abroad.”


  Xiao Jiu directly poured a bucket of cold water over her. “It’s good to have ideals, but reality hurts.”


  Mo Cheng pretended to be angry and said, “You should have encouraged me. Pouring cold water on me would be too hurtful.”


  However, Xiao Jiu said seriously, “Behind those who succeed and become rich by starting a business from scratch, there are countless people who fail. Those who succeed through sheer diligence are as rare as unicorns. Even if you haven’t succeeded, you are just one of the countless otheer failures.”


  Mo Cheng looked at Xiao Jiu in surprise. “I didn’t realize someone as young as you would know so much. Sure enough, children belonging to sensible parents are quite different.”


  Xiao Jiu was a little proud when she mentioned her parents. “I forgot to tell you that my family has excellent genes.”


  “Your family’s genes are indeed good. You are blessed with high 1Qs and good looks. More importantly, your parents are open-minded.” Mo Cheng agreed with Xiao Jiu. Then she thought about herself. She had nothing and was chased out of the house by her parents. No one was as miserable as her.

  Mo Cheng clenched her fists. “Even if I don’t succeed, I will die trying”


  Xiao Jiu noticed how hard Mo Cheng was trying. Also, he wanted his advertisements to spread throughout the country, so he said, “I can invest in your business.”


  “Do you want to invest in my business?” Mo Cheng held back her laughter and eyed Xiao Jiu up and down. “Don’t tell me you plan on investing all you Chinese

  New Year red packets inside your piggy bank?

  Xiao Jiu said, “They are my red packets, but they are not in a piggy bank. It’s all in the bank.”


  When Mo Cheng first saw Xiao Jiu and his parents, she knew their family was very, very rich, so the Chinese New Year red packets he had received must be substantial.

  “You have at most a few tens of thousands. Although you can invest it, once your parents find out about it, I’ll become a money swindler. Besides, I can find a bank loan on my own for a sum like that.”


  Xiao Jiu directly reported a number. “I can invest $10 o00 o00.”


  Mo Cheng opened her mouth wide. “$10 oo0 000? You’re not joking, right?”


  Xiao Jiu replied, “Miy mother has been saving the red packets since I was born. I have total control of my red packets, so my parents won’t interfere.”


  Every year during the Chinese New Year, he had received red packets not only from his parents but also from his grandparents and uncles. All of them gave him red packets as generously as his grandparents.

  Hence, the money from his red packets had already exceeded S1o o00 000.

  Mo Cheng was very touched. The little brat was even better than her parents.

  “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll cheat you out of your money?”


  After chatting with Mo Cheng for a while, Xiao Jiu felt that her 1Q was indeed questionable. He was a little worried her design skills would be equally lousy.

  “We will go through the usual legal procedures. My family has a private lawyer. I will calculate exactly how much money I will invest and how much bonus I will get every year. In addition, if you abscond with the money, you will meet a fate worse than a criminal. My uncles have a lot of influence all over the country, so you can’t swindle me.”


  Mo Cheng was completely stunned. Was this little boy really only four years old?

  Why did it feel like her 1Q and his IQ were reversed?

  And what kind of people were his uncles?

  They had influence all over the country…… Mo Cheng felt like she had met an extraordinary person.

  Mo Cheng struggled to keep his jaw from dropping. “With such a large sum of money, don’t you need to discuss it with your parents?”


  Xiao Jiu said a little helplessly, “No need. My dad said I need to be independent and learn to distinguish right from wrong. I need to leam how to manage my money. If 1 rely on my parents for everything, I will end up useless.”


  “Alright.” Mo Cheng was shocked yet again. She could not imagine that the extremely gorgeous parents she had met at the airport the other day had raised their son like this.

  Xiao Jiu said, “If you think there’s no problem, Ill call Uncle Shi and ask him to send a private lawyer over to discuss the investment issue.”
