Task Failed Successfully: My Grocery List Created a Financial Empire

“Everyone thinks I’m a financial genius. In reality, I was just trying to remember to buy milk.” Caleb Miller has only one ambition: to be the most mediocre student at Silvercreek University so people will leave him alone. But fate has a twisted sense of humor. During the final exam for Global Strategies, Caleb accidentally submits his rough draft—a grocery list written in absurd abbreviations. The next day, Professor Harrison announces to the entire lecture hall that Caleb is a visionary who accurately predicted the collapse of the cryptocurrency “EggCoin.” Overnight, Caleb goes from “nobody” to The Oracle of the Shadow. Caught between Sophie Vance—the academy’s queen, determined to make him her partner (in business, and possibly more)—and millionaire investors scrutinizing his every tweet, Caleb finds himself trapped. The harder he tries to prove he’s an idiot, the more convinced the world becomes that he’s a genius hiding behind false modesty. Will he manage to build a future with the girl of his dreams without his house of cards collapsing?
