Chapter 754
Harvey walked and pondered the situation. They had been roommates for a long time, and he considered them friends, so he had no intention of keeping them entirely in the dark.
“It’s a bit complicated. I’ll explain everything when we get back to the dorm tonight p>
He knew where to draw the line. He would give his friends a general overview of what they were doing, but he would withhold the specific dates, locations, and the nature of their international trades.
Moving forward, Harvey was going to be even busier than Mira.
He had to work with Grant Ashford to plan the recruitment strategy for their online education platform, hoping to ride the massive wave of traffic generated by Mira’s upcoming exclusive interview. On top of that, he had to fast-track the launch of the e-commerce company.
He also needed to scrape together enough capital to join Mira on Wall Street.
And, of course, he had to handle his Academic Midterm Appraisals and his daily live-trading operations.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown. Harvey’s rapid growth demanded a heavy price in sweat and effort.
Fortunately, he was hardworking and ambitious. There was no way he was missing out on this Wall Street trip with Mira.
Whether he won or lost the money didn’t matter. What mattered was expanding his horizons and learning the tactics of the world’s most elite financial institutions and predatory tycoons.
He wanted to soak in the atmosphere of working alongside masterminds and learn how to feel the pulse of the global economy.
Mira was undoubtedly a genius, and the people she surrounded herself with—like Owen Lance and Dominic West-were equally extraordinary.
Though he couldn’t quite match them yet, Harvey firmly believed that iron sharpens iron. Running with wolves would eventually turn him into an apex predator.
They were friends, but if his skills lagged behind, he would inevitably be left in the dust.
If he wanted to achieve true greatness in this lifetime, he had to relentlessly keep pace with her.
For that, he was willing to pay any price, even if it meant risking millions.
That morning, Harvey and Mira attended their classes diligently, focusing entirely on their coursework.
They were still students, and their academic responsibilities had to be met before anything else.
At lunch, the two naturally sat together, discussing business while they ate. Their roommates, including Elara Finn and the rest of their group, sat nearby and listened
in.
If anyone had questions, they waited until Mira and Harvey finished their discussion, or they simply debated the topics amongst themselves.
College wasn’t just about learning from textbooks. Building a network, elevating the quality of your social circle, and learning from peers were equally vital parts of the experience.
“Launching the e-commerce company is going to require a massive initial investment. That means the capital we can take to Wall Street will be limited,” Harvey pointed out.
“You can focus on the groundwork for the e-commerce platform for now. Save the heavy financial investments for after we get back from Wall Street,” Mira suggested. Harvey nodded in agreement.
“You could also borrow a portion from your father,” she added.
“No. This is my own venture. I don’t want my family’s money tied up in it p>
“Why not? You’re the heir to the family business, aren’t you p>

“They wouldn’t, but the other shareholders definitely would. And knowing my parents, they’d use their own money to cover the company’s losses to protect me p>
“Alright. You have your principles. Handle it the way you see fit p>
The next day marked the start of the
Academic Midterm Appraisals.
When Mira arrived at campus, shez noticed she still had forty minutes before the exam started.
Remembering a particularly smooth pen she had left in her dorm, she went back to retrieve it and read for
a bit before heading out.
