Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth novel Chapter 386

Chapter 386 

Aurelia didn’t know how to explain this, so she silently observed Leslie as her hands tightly clenched into fists. 

Leslie seemed to grasp something from her expression. So, he paused and fixed an intent gaze on her. “Aurelia, you…” 

“Just randomly clicked on it,” Aurelia frantically explained. Then, she immediately closed the documents and pretended to look at something else. 

Upon seeing Aurelia’s blushing ears, Leslie pulled a nearby chair over to himself and sat down. 

He said, “You need to be immersed in a conducive environment to learn a language. Without that, learning anything would be useless, and it would just be a waste of time and money. Instead, it’s better to focus on improving what you’re already good at.” 

Upon hearing this, Aurelia felt disheartened, and her shoulders dropped slightly. “I’ll be honest with you, I’m feeling a bit lost too. I’m not sure if I should invest this money or just find a job and make an honest living. I’m not like those fancy high–end white–collar workers. I’m afraid… of wasting money.” 

She was already short on cash and didn’t want to make things worse. And unlike those high–end white–collar workers who often believed that money could solve everything, she was different. 

Leslie could sense Aurelia’s concerns. 

Basically, she was reluctant to spend her money. 

In the past, he might’ve thought that Aurelia was money–minded and lacked ambition. But after getting to know her better, he realized that she was under a lot of pressure and had many worries. 

Her life was much more complicated than he had imagined. 

Leslie could use money to solve everything. But as for Aurelia, the first thing she had to solve was the issue of money. 

After pondering for a moment, he slowly said, “Investing in yourself is never a waste. Let me give you an example from someone around you.” 

“Someone around me? Who?” Aurelia asked. 

“Kimberly,” Leslie said calmly, dropping the name. 

Aurelia glanced at Leslie, puzzled as to why he’d use Kimberly as an example. 

Kimberly had never put much effort into her work and always mingled among men. But now that she’d stumbled, what kind of example was that? 

However, Leslie continued, “Her capabilities in business may not be top–notch, but her track record over the years has been just below yours. However, she didn’t invest in her intellect. Rather, she invested in her appearance instead. 

“That’s one of the reasons why you all find her hard to deal with. 

“She always manages to find opportunities among men, and she knows exactly how to exploit certain weaknesses. If she wasn’t so greedy, even if she ended up being a rich man’s mistress, she would still be living the best life out of all of you. 

“But you got to give her credit, she’s better than any of you in investing in herself. She makes herself look valuable and then fits into more valuable circles. And although she’s only after men with money, but at least she’s getting what she wants. 

“Her goal is even clearer than any of you at Young, even if it’s just about snagging a rich 

guy. 

“I’m not asking you to copy her in how she presents herself, but rather, I’m asking you to find your own goals. Young should just be a place where you grow, but it’s not the final destination. Otherwise, you’ll be stuck like this forever.” 

Aurelia thought long and hard at Leslie’s words. 

She’d always looked down on women like Kimberly, but Leslie’s words did make sense. Kimberly was indeed willing to put effort into attracting men. From her physique to her hair, she took meticulous care of herself just to make a good impression on men 

whenever she tossed her hair. 

Wasn’t it normal for men to chase after such women? 

Although the men pursuing her weren’t anything special, Kimberly was just seeking better options among them. No one was superior to anyone else. 

Aurelia glanced at the screen again and silently committed to keep pushing forward.
