With the sound of "squeaking" brakes, the brand new black Audi 90 sedan was parked outside a small villa. Ryan kept grinning in the passenger seat. In his eyes, Nicole's driving skills were really bad to a certain level. He doubted whether the newly bought sedan could last until the end of the running-in period.

"Nicole, did you bribe the examiner when you took the driving test?"

"Shut up, Ryan." Nicole grinded her snow-white teeth, "If you talk more, walk back to Los Angeles from Santa Monica after the visit is over!"

Ryan stuck out his tongue, swallowed the next word of mocking, untied his seat belt, got out of the car first, and walked towards the small villa that was not big but looked extremely elegant.

This was the last day in August. He and Nicole came to Santa Monica, a small seaside town, to visit Dean Katie after retirement. After all, when he was in the welfare home, the old dean was the only person who truly cared for and helped him, and the subsequent lawsuit also helped a lot.

"Aunt Katy, I'm so happy to see you."

Although I occasionally communicated, I haven't seen each other for two years. The old dean looks much older and his hair is mostly gray.

"Ryan, you have grown taller and older," Dean Katie sighed a little. After serving juice and coffee in the nanny, she looked at Nicole, "I didn't expect that two years have passed in a blink of an eye. Is it easy for the little guy to take care of? With his temper and personality, it should have caused you a lot of headaches."

"Mrs. Katie, we get along well, and adopting Ryan is the most correct decision I have ever made in my life." Nicole rubbed Ryan's hair laughed, "Ryan is my only relative in the United States."

"I'll feel relieved."

The old dean asked about Ryan's recent situation and chatted with Nicole for a while, his energy was obviously a bit weak. Ryan and Nicole had to say goodbye. However, before going out, she pulled Nicole and said, "Ryan is the smartest and most talented child I have ever seen. Take good care of him so that he can grow up healthily. If there are difficulties that cannot be solved, call me directly. Although I am old, I still have many relatives and friends."

After a walk around the beach in Santa Monica and finding another seafood shop to settle for lunch, Nicole drove Ryan to downtown Los Angeles. He had a date in the afternoon, at Wilson's lawyer's office.

Lawyer Wilson is well-known in the Greater Los Angeles area. Although the law firm he runs can only be considered medium-sized, his business is pretty good. He rents an independent two-story office building near City Hall.

In a small closed conference room, two white men were waiting for him. The middle-aged man with some bald heads was Mr. Wilson, the lawyer of Ryan. Another tall, strong and young brown-haired man was the stock and investment broker introduced to him by Mr. Wilson last year.

"It's great to see you, Mr. Scott, we've been on many phone calls, and I never thought you would be so tall." In Ryan's vision, this guy must be at least six feet and three inches tall.

"Ryan, I didn't expect that you were really less than ten years old." Mr. Scott's expression was a little exaggerated.

What I discussed next is related to investment. As a lawyer with excellent professional ethics, Mr. Wilson took the initiative to leave the conference room. After Nicole sent him into the office building, he went to the fitness club and would pick him up before the firm got off work.

"Mr. Scott, I heard from Uncle Wilson that you are going to return to New York soon?"

"That's right. I plan to go back to Merrill Lynch in a few days and may quit my current job."

"Quit your job? Why?" Ryan scratched his head and thought to himself that he was not playing with me. He finally hired a reliable investment broker and he actually wanted to pile up his picks.

Mr. Scott smiled helplessly, but his smile was filled with warmth and sweetness. "My wife is pregnant. I will be a father in December. We are going to return to Montgomery, Pennsylvania, and wait for the birth of the child."

"So that's how it is," Ryan muttered, and continued, "then congratulations, Mr. Scott."

Things are really troublesome. I finally convinced Nicole. Did you give up like that? Ryan's eyes turned, "Mr. Scott, what you said is not contrary to what I want to do. You just need to operate some funds for me and buy some stocks."

"That's the case..."

Ryan fooled again...ah no, he persuaded him a few words, and what he did would not take too much time. Scott finally nodded and agreed.

"Wait, Ryan!"

Scott suddenly interrupted the boy who was talking about the squirting. Since entering the room, the boy showed his precocious maturity and wisdom that amazes him. It was not until this moment that he realized that he was indeed a naive child.

"What's wrong?" Ryan was showing off the pitiful knowledge he saw on the Internet in his previous life. He didn't understand why Scott interrupted him.

"Ryan, is Cisco you mentioned a network equipment supplier?" After receiving Ryan's affirmative answer, Scott suddenly laughed, "Cisco is not on the market!"

Ryan's mouth trembled unconsciously, and his face was covered with black lines. At this moment, he really wanted to run to the beach in Malibu and dig a sand pit to bury himself. God! He actually made such a big mistake. If those awesome powerful people after traveling through time will see him, they will definitely regard him as a joke for the eternal ones.

"There are also Microsoft's stocks. Now almost all investors are optimistic about Microsoft's upward momentum. It is very difficult to absorb large amounts of Microsoft stocks from the market, and then Apple..."

Scott briefly analyzed the financial and investment markets. The more thoroughly he said, the more cold sweats there were on Ryan's forehead, and he couldn't stop feeling glad.

Fortunately, I have some self-knowledge and know that the knowledge of financial crises and currency wars I have seen on the Internet in my previous life may not be reliable, and I have never thought that it would be possible to kill all sides with these. If he was really like those who traveled through time, he would have scalded wool and fryed yen with a fever, he would probably have one more person who jumped off the Kinmen Bridge.

OK! I'm not the kind of material for business and finance at all. Ryan could only sigh. It was really embarrassing to make such a big mistake. Fortunately, he is still a child and has been practicing his shame over the years. Otherwise, he would definitely be ashamed. Fortunately, Nicole is not here, otherwise he would definitely use the authority of the guardian to keep his wallet tightly.

"Is there no other way?" Ryan asked unwillingly.

"I will stare at the market and absorb Microsoft's stocks as much as possible. And Cisco, I have heard that it is likely to go public next year. If you confirm that you want to buy its stocks, I will do my best." Although Mr. Scott did not make any guarantee, he still showed some confidence in his words.

"Then let's do it. If you have any, we will call."

Ryan sighed, and he could only do this. Anyway, it is better to buy as much as you can count as you can depreciate with paper money. Besides, stocks and investment managers that are both reliable and capable these days are not easy to find. Not to mention those small companies, even the big investment companies on Wall Street are not scammers everywhere.

If it weren't for the introduction of President Katie and lawyer Wilson, Ryan would never trust him. Even so, the necessary supervision measures would not be missing.

"Ryan, if you have the chance, you can come to Pennsylvania for a trip. I have a big farm there, and I can ride a horse." When he said goodbye, Mr. Scott warmly sent an invitation.

"If I go to the East Coast, I will definitely visit." Ryan replied with a bright smile.

To be honest, this afternoon meeting hit Ryan to a certain extent, and made him lose face. At the same time, he made him more clear-headed and understood what path he was suitable for, and completely threw some things from YY on the Internet in his previous life into the sky.

What square agreement, what yen crisis, what wool shearing action, what cutting flesh from the red giant bear, what Southeast Asian financial crisis, what subprime mortgage crisis, go to hell! I can still play my own movie safely.

When he returned home, Ryan sat at the desk and could only smile bitterly. His greed was just beginning to swell, but he was ruthlessly pierced by awl.

In fact, in his two lives, how could he not know that his best talent is his artistic talent? His life is several times stronger than his previous life. However, people will always be covered by greed and unrealistic fantasies. In a sense, Mr. Scott Swift is the stick that fell on his head.

But why did he suddenly feel that this name sounded familiar? Ryan scratched his head, threw the idea aside, waved the pen, and landed it on the manuscript paper.

The hot summer is coming to an end. Ryan Jenkins, who transferred from London, entered the American campus for the first time. Nicole chose a private school for him, named St. John's Elementary School. Don't be surprised, this is not a church-based school. Although he was reborn once, Ryan is at most an agnostic. If he was asked to go to a strict Catholic school, it would be better to kill him and come here happily.

"Ryan, get along well with classmates at school, don't always do something inexplicable. If I were invited by the principal to the school, I would definitely send you to the boarding school, I swear!"

After sending Ryan to campus, Miss Nicole Kidman warned with confidence, even though she knew it wouldn't work.
