Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire
Chapter 242 - Chapter 242 Chapter 231 Another Revenue

Chapter 242: Chapter 231 Another Revenue Chapter 242: Chapter 231 Another Revenue After spending over ten days in Hawaii, upon her return, Feng Lihua said she had gotten darker. As for Gu Wenfeng, his bronze complexion hadn’t changed at all.

Lu Jiaxin touched her face and smiled, “It’s fine, it’ll fade in a few days. Has anyone called me these past two days?”

She had given Feng Lihua ten days off, and according to her, she had come back to look after the house on the sixth day.

Feng Lihua replied, “Yes, there were quite a few calls from the Forty-nine City, including your family and Boss Su. Mr. Nie and your cousin also called one after another. Oh, and Miss Cui, your classmate, called to invite you to go hiking.”

After taking a shower, Lu Jiaxin first called Su Heyuan, “Big Brother Su, how’s it going? Did you find a buyer?”

Su Heyuan laughed heartily, “How could there not be any takers? They nearly fought over your Clivia. They were in the middle of eating when they rushed to get the goods.”

Lu Jiaxin emitted a sound of surprise, “My goods are spread out in several places in Yun Province and Sichuan Province, how could they inspect the goods?”

Su Heyuan chuckled, “They drove there to pick up the goods, who cares about the new year when there’s money to be made. If I were still in this business, I would’ve taken it all myself.”

Lu Jiaxin then asked the question she cared about most, “So how much are we talking?”

Of course, that had to be settled, or they wouldn’t have gone to pick up the goods. Su Heyuan said, “Two million for the lot, they all agreed and have already paid a million in deposit. They’ll pay the remaining million after selling the goods, they don’t have that much cash on hand.”

Two million was somewhat satisfactory.

Su Heyuan continued, “Don’t worry, I told them just to take the goods and not ask too many questions. I also called Master Qian, told him not to let Qian Xiaoxiao get involved. At his age, after this deal, he can retire back to his hometown and lay low without anyone noticing him for a long time.”

According to him, Lu Jiaxin was being overly cautious, she was now in Hong Kong and the Mainland’s laws couldn’t touch her. But since she had made a request, Su Heyuan also helped her to erase any potential worries.

“Thank you. I’ll treat you to a meal when I’m back in Hong Kong.”

Su Heyuan insisted that one meal wasn’t enough, at least three, and after getting Lu Jiaxin’s agreement he said, “One million has been paid as a deposit, what are your thoughts about the remaining million?”

“Big Brother Su, do you have any good ideas?”

Su Heyuan suggested that Lu Jiaxin invest in some properties in the Forty-nine City, then trade them for antique paintings and collectibles, which will surely appreciate in value later on.

Lu Jiaxin said, “I have two properties in the Forty-nine City, including the five-entry mansion my aunt gave me. I can’t even occupy it all, but trading for antique paintings might be good.”

Such trade-ins couldn’t possibly be masterpieces, as no one would be foolish enough to agree. These items would appreciate but not by a significant margin, and she planned to sell them anyway.

“Alright, these guys all have quite a few good items on their hands. I’ll help you pick when the time comes.”

“So when are you coming back?”

Su Heyuan said with a smile, “I have some things to handle here and can’t return to Hong Kong until after the first month. I’ll take care of your business by then.”

As long as he wasn’t staying specifically for her affairs, then it was fine; Lu Jiaxin didn’t want to owe too much to others.

Su Heyuan mentioned that Lu Jiajie had come looking for him, “He found out where I live and came to ask how you were doing in Hong Kong. I told him you’re doing well and not to worry. I didn’t say much more.”

The He Family’s harassment and the business Lu Jiaxin was conducting were things Su Heyuan didn’t mention. Lu Jiaxin kept silent, clearly not trusting them, so he refrained from saying more.

Lu Jiaxin just gave a noncommittal “Hmm” and said, “If anyone from the Lu Family asks you again, just tell them that!”

Su Heyuan had said that to handle Lu Jiajie, but he didn’t agree with Jiaxin’s approach, “I can understand you not telling them about the He Family giving you trouble, after all, they can’t help. But you should tell them about your donations.”

Jiaxin had a good life in Hong Kong; her strong personality and outstanding abilities made her unafraid of the He Family, and Nie Zhan was also willing to stand up for her. Otherwise, there’s no telling what crazy things the He Family might have done.

After thinking it over, Jiaxin decided to tell the truth, “My eldest brother and his family are alright, others have their own agendas. Especially my Fifth Sister-in-law, she turns her face at the slightest disagreement, it’s pointless. So, I don’t want them to know about my business.”

Su Heyuan had been through much more than Jiaxin and had long seen through the warmth and coldness of human relationships, “In the past years when our family fell on hard times, friends and relatives immediately disassociated themselves. At the time I was furious, but later I realized that merely cutting ties was already decent of them, some even reported us trying to put us to death, a bunch of worse-than-animals scum.”

“And after that?”

Su Heyuan spoke with contempt, “Later, when I made money through my business, these people came sucking up to acknowledge kinship, I didn’t bother with a single one of them and kicked them all out.”

He also encountered many kind-hearted people, and when he had the ability, he repaid these people as much as he could. As for those who kicked him when he was down, he took his revenge; he was that kind of person, clear about gratitude and grudges.

“If it were me, I wouldn’t bother with them either.”

They chatted for a while and then hung up the phone. Lu Jiaxin then called the Guh Residence, where a maid answered the phone, saying that Gu Xiuxiu and Gu Haifan were still at the old residence and hadn’t returned.

Ah Mei said, “Miss Cousin, the Old Madam and Young Master Cousin want to stay until after the Lantern Festival before returning.”

Lu Jiaxin, feeling uneasy, made a call to the He residence. The phone was picked up by Aunt Mei, who indicated that Gu Xiuxiu was doing well at the old residence and would return after the Lantern Festival.

At the Guh Residence, the only person Jiaxin truly trusted was Aunt Mei. Initially, she had wanted to spend the Lantern Festival with her grandchildren, but it looked like she would be spending it alone. That was fine; she would take the opportunity to go out and see how the Hong Kong people celebrated the Lantern Festival.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, she received a call from Lu Jiajie, “Jiaxin, I am now in Yangcheng City. If you have time, come to Peng City and let’s have a meal together.”

Lu Jiaxin rejected the invitation without hesitation. It would take half a day to get to Peng City just for a meal, and she wasn’t so idle as to travel that far.

Lu Jiajie wasn’t disappointed, as he knew Lu Jiaxin was studying for her exams, and he would have gone directly to Hong Kong if he could, “Xinxin, Third Uncle has already proposed divorce to Ding Jing, and it won’t be long before they actually divorce.”

This was a matter of little interest to Jiaxin herself, primarily because one of the main wishes of her former self was to have Ding Jing out of the Lu Family, ending any relationship between the two.

Lu Jiaxin asked, “This ‘won’t be long’ of yours, could it possibly be twenty or thirty years?”

Lu Jiajie quickly assured her that wouldn’t be the case, “Ding Jing agreed to the divorce, then Third Uncle will push forward with Zhao Siyi’s engagement to Fan Yinuo. For the sake of her daughter, Ding Jing will agree.”

Jiaxin responded with an “Oh” and said, “Who knows if he’ll change his mind again, he’s done such things before.”

Lu Jiajie fell silent for a moment, “Don’t worry, Big Brother and I will keep an eye on him. If he doesn’t divorce this time, we will bring Big Uncle and Big Aunt here.”

Jiaxin felt that this was a bad idea, “Big Uncle and Big Aunt are getting on in years, don’t trouble them with Lu Hongjun’s problems. It would be too late for regrets if anything happened to them.”

“Alright, I will speak to Big Brother later, and we’ll discuss how to resolve this.”

Jiaxin indicated it wasn’t necessary and said, “Who he wants to live with is his freedom, and I have no right to interfere.”

Not interfering also meant she would not be involved.
