On the weekend, when Kenneth came back, he brought some desserts with him. Each one was exquisite, adorned with the "Yee Cake" logo, which featured a super cute little fox surrounded by a circle of green leaves.
The Yee Cake dessert chain officially opened that day. Ophelia fell in love with this logo at first sight. The desserts were all her favorites.
While she are, she busily worked on her design drafts, and Kenneth focused on his work as well. They both sat in the study. one at the computer and the other on the sofa by the French widlow. Even if they just sat like that, as long as they could see each other, they felt warm.
After a while, Ophelia finished her dessert, and the design draft was almost complete. Seeing that Kenneth was still busy, she got up and went downstairs to make him a cup of coffee.. The white coffee cup sat on the gray desk.
"Kenneth, when you finish your work later, could you teach me How to invest in stocks?" Ophelia looked like a good student. The light blue knit sweater accentuated her delicate skin. Kenneth's stern brows gradually relaxed. He wrapped his arm around Ophelia's waist and effortlessly pulled her onto his lap. his gaze towards her filled with curiosity.
"I need to learn some skills to impress people," she said. In fact, Ophelia could learn on her own. She just wanted him to feel how much she needed him.
"Okay, but you have to pay 'tuition," Kenneth teased.
Ophelia knew it wouldn't be that easy.
Kenneth lifted her onto the desk, and kisses rained down on her. Their bodies fit together perfectly.
After paying the "tuition", Ophelia didn't have the energy to study anymore.
The next morning, on her way to the stock market, Ophelia heard a radio broadcast from the taxi.
Recently, the largest financial group, Sinclair Group, opened up a bunch of Michelin-chain dessert restaurants. In the past year, they've really nailed it with their investments, seeing solid returns in just three months. Perhaps the dessert market is the blue ocean project of the future...
The taxi driver smacked his lips. "Wow, Kenneth is really something, a tough character. He earns all the money by himself. We common folks don't stand a chance. All the money goes to those big shots" Ophelia sat quietly in the backseat.
The driver had a point. The Heloria society was severely class-based, with financial groups monopolizing various industries and controlling over eighty percent of the wealth resources in Heloria. Ordinary people hardly had a chance to turn their situation around. In fact, most countries were like this, which was why there was a stock securities market.
Yet very few retail investors could truly make money. They mostly survived off the tiny scraps left behind by the big fish.
Upon arriving at the stock exchange, Ophelia received a phone call. "Hello, I'm Harry, the general manager of Hastings Group.
Ophelia hung up directly.
Harry was taken aback for a few seconds, then called again twice, finally getting blocked. Chapter 70 58%
Mr. Hastings, I heard he often trades at the East Bridge Stock Exchange Center. Should we try our luck?" Andy suggested.
Harry sighed and thought, That's all we can do now. He had consulted analysts, and that person was no simple character. He had a knack for spotting stock trends. He thought, If he could work for me, I'd have a real shot at making money?
Harry appeared at the entrance of the stock trading center in an expensive suit, accompanied by his male secretary, Andy. who was in his thirties. Most of the clients here were middle-aged or older.
Harry entrusted Andy with the task of replaceing the Stock Deity and sat down to look for a spot. However, upon seeing the people around him, he showed his disdain.
Andy asked a client manager, "Hello, may I ask if the GU Stock Deity is here today?"
"Of course, she is in our VIP room, but many people want to meet her," the client manager replied with a troubled expression.
Andy was resourceful and slipped a large amount of cash into the manager's pocket.
The manager immediately said, "This way, please."
Andy turned to look at Harry, who stood up from his seat, adjusted his suit, and went to the VIP room together.
Just then, three middle-aged women came out from inside.
One said, "The Stock Deity is so amazing. The stock she recommended to me before increased today, and the two stocks she told me to sell all dropped today. She really knows how to predict."
Another agreed, "Yeah, I was planning to sell the two stocks that kept falling in my hands, but she told me not to. I ended up making over a hundred thousand dollars."
"Let's come back tomorrow. We should buy her some gifts."
"How about a gold bar?"
Hearing their conversation, Harry felt reassured. But he had no idea that the three women were actors hired by Ophelia for thirty dollars an hour.
Pushing open the door to the VIP room, Harry saw the legendary 'GU Stock Deity", and she looked nothing like he had imagined.
She was a woman, a bit overweight, dressed from head to toe in cheap, low-quality clothes. Her features were plump and ordinary, and she wore outdated black-rimmed glasses. The only thing that really stood out was her long, beautiful hands. Seeing her hands, Harry thought, 'Well, everyone has to have some merits.
Andy exchanged a few words with Ophelia, but Harry didn't even glance at her, his face full of disdain, feeling even sick at the thought of looking at her again.
"I thought the person who called a few
days ago was a scammer Ophelia said. She had learned to change her voice from Sharon, so Harry did not recognize it as Ophelia's voice.
After seeing such a "Stock Deity", both Harry and Andy looked at her with doubtful and scrutinizing eyes.
Ophelia adjusted her glasses and made some plausible speculations, similar to what the analyst Harry hired had said. But for some reason, they felt that this unremarkable woman made more sense.
"I believe 'GU' still has a lot of profit potential. If you want to test my ability, why don't we invest in 'GU' together and see?" Ophelia suggested.
