The old man was amazed that there were still such humble young men in our world. While they were conversing, the young man mentioned a company in Lagos, Nigeria, as one of his clients that he made supplies to. Unknown to him, the old man’s son was the Managing Director (MD) of that company. The company owed him some money in millions of Naira. After their conversation, the old man gave him his complimentary card.
