Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau-Chapter 545 - 293: Our Family’s Finances Are Yours to Manage
Lawrence Winters nodded heavily, "I know, the money of these wealthy people is, of course, different from ours. All the men have their own financial managers, and household expenses are transferred to their wives’ bank accounts every month. I also know some extremely wealthy families where the jewelry worn by the women has serial numbers."
"For important occasions requiring jewelry, it is borrowed from the father-in-law and mother-in-law, and it must be returned after use."
"The rules of the wealthy families are indeed more than the hairs on a cow."
Lawrence Winters clicked his tongue twice; it was her favorite time for gossip about the wealthy.
Kenneth Osborne laughed and said, "When I strike it rich in the future, I’ll still let you manage my money, okay?"
Lawrence Winters nodded vigorously, "Sure! I’ll definitely invest your money well, aim to double it in three years, triple it in ten years, hahaha!"
"Do you want to get a finance degree?" Kenneth Osborne coaxed gently, eager to get Lawrence Winters on the same path as him, "You’re so smart, you could easily get a master’s or Ph.D. I’ll support you for as long as you want to study."
Lawrence Winters laughed and shook her head, "Why should I study finance? Even if I want to study, it would be public relations and media studies."
"But if you want to help me with finances and investing in stocks, don’t you need to study finance?" Kenneth Osborne explained with something that most interested Lawrence Winters, "Even if you have an investment advisor to buy and sell for you, if you don’t understand anything yourself, you’ll end up counting money for those who deceive you."
Lawrence Winters tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "No need. I’ll just cast a few hexagrams then; whichever stock the hexagram tells me to buy, I’ll buy it. It’s even better than those professional analyses."
Kenneth Osborne couldn’t help but laugh, "Nora, you can’t be serious, can you? Does this even work? Have you seen any financial analysts use divination?"
"So what?" Lawrence Winters defended the dignity of the The Book of Changes Eight Diagrams confidently, "Investing in stocks requires foresight. This foresight can’t be seen through analyzing historical financial data. Look at how many so-called stock market tycoons rely on true financial analysis to trade stocks?"
Kenneth Osborne interrupted her, unable to help himself, "So what do they use? Are they also using divination?"
"No, they’re using insider information!" Lawrence Winters said with certainty, "We can’t get insider information, but that’s okay, because with me, the insights gained from divination are not only forward-looking but also prophetic! — We’ll definitely make money!"
Kenneth Osborne rubbed his forehead, thinking that if that’s the case, he’d better do the family’s financial planning himself in the future.
He could just give her his salary, and the stock dividends would be temporarily deposited into their joint account.
Lawrence Winters was still enthusiastically talking about the possibility of "divination stock trading," so Kenneth Osborne had to say, "Sounds interesting. You can open a stock account and try with a few thousand dollars."
Hearing this, Lawrence Winters hesitated again, "...uh, maybe I’ll think about it some more. What if it’s not accurate?"
"Weren’t you very confident?"
"I was just giving you confidence. It’s not like I’m spending my own money. My money is hard-earned!"
Kenneth Osborne was amused by her again, "So my money isn’t hard-earned?"
"You earn money much more easily than I do," Lawrence Winters said matter-of-factly, "How about I try managing your finances in the future?"
Kenneth Osborne pressed his lips together and decisively changed the topic, "...I heard that Heather Crazy is about to give birth. Have you prepared a gift for her child?"
"No, I’ll order one in a couple of days. Is it a boy or a girl, do you know?" Lawrence Winters was distracted and quickly opened her computer to start searching for baby gifts online.
Kenneth Osborne suggested, "Why not buy a full-month baby package from your uncle’s place?"
"Yes, yes! How did I forget!" Lawrence Winters nodded, "I’ll speak to my uncle tomorrow."
They chatted a bit more, then Kenneth Osborne reminded Lawrence Winters to go to bed early, saying that only with more sleep could her arm wound heal faster.
This was something Lawrence Winters listened to.
She obediently agreed, hung up the phone, washed up, and went back to sleep.
During the next two weeks, she ate well, slept well, and almost gained more weight than she had before her fever. Luckily, she weighed herself every day and managed to stop this trend in time.
During these two weeks, Edward Foster probably felt embarrassed and rarely contacted Lawrence Winters.
Lucas Harlow, on the other hand, took the time to visit her twice, but unfortunately, his new drama was in the middle of filming, and Ruby Sheldon visited his set frequently, making it difficult for him to find more time to connect with Lawrence Winters.
Lawrence Winters didn’t mind. Lucas Harlow was her cash cow, and she had only one hope for him, which was to film his drama well, become very popular, and successfully enter the top ranks.
As for Edward Foster, there was no need to mention. He was her boss, albeit a nicer boss.
But a boss is still a boss, and it’s a big mistake to dream of being friends with your boss.
...
Three weeks later, Lawrence Winters went for her last check-up at the doctor’s office.
After removing the splint, her wound had indeed healed excellently.
Her arm was as good as new, with only a pale pink mark that showed it had been injured before.
And this pale pink mark would lighten over time, eventually returning to its original jade-white skin tone.
"Your wound has healed very well. Be careful, and it’s best not to exert too much force with this arm within the next six months," the doctor patiently advised Lawrence Winters.
This time, it was Kenneth Osborne accompanying Lawrence Winters for her follow-up visit.
He listened even more attentively than Lawrence Winters and recorded the doctor’s words on his phone.
As they left the clinic, Kenneth Osborne said to Lawrence Winters, "Remember not to fight with anyone or use your martial arts within the next six months, or the newly healed muscle layer under your arm might get damaged again."
Lawrence Winters didn’t dare to be careless and said regretfully, "Who would’ve known that guy’s knife was so sharp... I originally thought it would only cause a bit of bleeding."
"If you can remember this lesson and learn from it, then getting cut by this knife was worth it," Kenneth Osborne glanced at her and started the car.
He sent Lawrence Winters back to her residence and said, "In a few days, I’m going to Z City in the Southern Region to attend Summer Spencer and Blake Leaf’s wedding. Would you like to come with me?"
