Catherine Smith and Jack Wilson sat in the conference room of the law firm, the table covered with documents and charts. Catherine's family business was an established manufacturing company that produced high-quality home goods. Since her uncle Henry took over, the company's performance had deteriorated, many loyal employees were forced to leave, and the company's reputation suffered greatly.
"We need a detailed plan to gradually regain control of the company," Catherine said firmly.
Jack nodded and pulled out a document. "Catherine, I think we can start with the financial market. You have memories of your previous life and know which stocks will soar in the coming years. We can accumulate funds through stock investments and then gradually acquire shares of the company."
Catherine thought for a moment and agreed. "That's a good idea. We can use the funds to gradually increase our stake in the company and eventually regain control."
They began to draft a detailed plan. Catherine used her memories to list some stocks that would rise significantly in the future. Jack researched the financial status and market prospects of these companies to ensure the safety of their investments.
Over the next few months, Catherine and Jack began to implement their plan. They operated cautiously in the stock market, gradually accumulating funds. Catherine's investment foresight was very accurate, and their funds grew rapidly.
However, the economic environment of the 1980s was unstable, and the stock market experienced several major fluctuations. Catherine and Jack suffered a significant loss in one investment, nearly losing all their funds.
"What should we do?" Catherine looked at Jack, her eyes filled with anxiety and uncertainty.
Jack held her hand and reassured her. "Catherine, don't give up. We still have a chance. We can start over, learn from our mistakes, and avoid making the same errors."
Catherine took a deep breath and nodded. "You're right, Jack. We can't give up."
They readjusted their investment strategy, choosing their investments more cautiously. After some time, their funds began to grow again. Although the process was difficult, they never gave up.
During this time, Catherine and Jack's relationship grew closer. They were not only partners but also each other's support and reliance. No matter how big the challenges were, they faced them together and overcame them together.
One time, Catherine was working late in the office when Jack walked in with dinner. "You need to take a break, Catherine," he said, placing the food on her desk.
Catherine smiled gratefully. "Thank you, Jack. You're always so considerate."
Jack smiled and sat across from her. "We're a team, Catherine. No matter what happens, I'll always support you."
A warmth filled Catherine's heart. She knew that with Jack's support, she would succeed.
