Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire
Chapter 283 - Chapter 283 Chapter 272 Even Lovebirds Like It

Chapter 283: Chapter 272: Even Lovebirds Like It Chapter 283: Chapter 272: Even Lovebirds Like It Feng Lihua told Lu Jiaxin about this matter because her friend’s younger brother was ready to leave the Flying Tigers Squad. With his profession, most who leave become bodyguards.

Lu Jiaxin asked, “Is he willing to come and work for me?”

Feng Lihua hummed in agreement and said, “I have told my friend about your situation, and my friend said her brother wants to meet you before making a decision.”

“Let him set the time. I’ll be in Hong Kong the whole week,” Lu Jiaxin said.

Busy with her studies the previous year, she only visited Seaport City and Ocean Park, not having the chance to go elsewhere. Now that she had finished her exams and had more free time, she planned to really explore Hong Kong.

“Should I call this number when the time comes?”

“Yes, call this number. If I’m out, I’ll call you back before nine o’clock.”

“Okay.”

In the afternoon, Nie Zhan arranged for his driver to pick her up. Lu Jiaxin did not refuse because she wanted the servants at the Guh Residence to see this. The He Family would assume she was dating Nie Zhan and might hold back any hostile intentions.

Nie Zhan, fearing she would be bored arriving alone, had specifically asked Wang Yadan to wait for her at the tennis court.

With the weather in June already very hot, everyone dressed in light and cool clothing. Wang Yadan wore a slimming tennis outfit made from cooling ice-silk fabric.

Seeing Lu Jiaxin staring at her, Wang Yadan regretted wearing the outfit: “Miss Lu, don’t get me wrong, I usually play in this outfit, if you don’t like it I can go and change right now.”

Lu Jiaxin was puzzled, “Why change? That outfit looks quite nice on you.”

Wang Yadan breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that she wasn’t being criticized for dressing too revealingly, “Miss Lu, your outfit looks very nice too, it really highlights how fair your skin is.”

Lu Jiaxin wore a loose-fitting white sports outfit, “What’s nice about mine? It’s nothing compared to you, Sister Wang, you have such a great figure.”

It wasn’t just polite talk. Wang Yadan really did have a great figure, curvy in all the right places, clearly a C-cup at a glance. Alas, she herself was still flat-chested, and at seventeen, it seemed there was no hope left for her.

Only then did Wang Yadan realize that she had misunderstood earlier. Lu Jiaxin actually envied her figure. With a smile creeping onto her lips, she said, “Miss Lu, you are beautiful, especially with those long, straight, and fair legs. If you were to enter the Miss Hong Kong pageant, I’m sure you could easily take home the crown.”

After saying that, she immediately regretted it, as she was talking about the girl her boss liked. Suggesting she join the Miss Hong Kong pageant was like adding another love rival for her boss out of thin air!

This was the second person who had said this to her. Lu Jiaxin replied with a smile, “Let’s not, I don’t want to steal anyone else’s opportunity.”

The beauties who entered the Miss Hong Kong pageant all had dreams of being stars or wanted to use it as a stepping stone to enter high society. She didn’t want to add to the frenzy.

Wang Yadan said, “Miss Lu, the boss said you’ve never played tennis before, let me teach you how to serve first.”

As it was indeed her first encounter with the sport, Lu Jiaxin smiled and replied, “That’s fine.”

Lu Jiaxin actually knew how to play, so she learned very quickly. By the time Nie Zhan arrived, the two were already playing. However, having not played in a long while, Lu Jiaxin’s technique was still quite rusty, and she conceded defeat after missing three or four balls.

Nie Zhan said to Lu Jiaxin, “Sorry, I was delayed by some sudden issues at the company.”

Everyone encounters emergencies, and Lu Jiaxin certainly didn’t mind, “I just heard from Sister Wang that you were the captain of the tennis team at university and almost went pro?”

Nie Zhan corrected her, “Not the captain, but the vice-captain. The captain later went on to play professional matches and even invited me, but I turned him down. At that time, I had received an offer from Goldman Sachs, so I didn’t go. Even if I had gone, it’s unlikely I would have become a professional tennis player.”

Jiaxin asked with a smile, “What was your dream?”

Seeing the two chatting, Wang Yadan tactfully called over Wang Shi to play on the adjacent court.

Nie Zhan said with a smile, “My former dream was to become a top trader, but some unexpected events occurred, and I resigned. Now it’s also good, I get off work on time every day without much pressure.”

Looking at his thick head of hair, Jiaxin joked, “It’s a good thing you resigned, otherwise, your hairline might have receded by now. It’s hard to imagine what you would look like bald.”

Nie Zhan was initially startled, then laughed, “Even bald, I think I probably wouldn’t look too bad.”

“Bald is ugly. It’s better to be as handsome as you are now. When you walk down the street, you turn a lot of heads,” Jiaxin commented.

If Nie Zhan were bald, she definitely wouldn’t be interested in him. A boyfriend also had to be easy on the eyes; it was healthier for both the mind and body.

Seeing the teasing in her eyes, Nie Zhan decided he would work out at least three times a week from now on, so as not to be disliked, “Let’s play a set.”

“Okay.”

Playing with Wang Yadan, she could at most return four balls in a row, but playing with Nie Zhan, they exchanged over ten shots before she lost. It wasn’t that Jiaxin’s tennis skills had improved dramatically but that Nie Zhan was feeding her easy balls. The skill level of the Harvard tennis team vice-captain was indeed impressive.

After playing for more than half an hour, Jiaxin was panting and out of breath. When she sat down to rest, she first wiped the sweat from her face and body.

Nie Zhan opened a bottle of water and handed it to her.

Jiaxin took it and drank half the bottle, then said jokingly, “You’re so thoughtful. How could your ex-girlfriends bear to break up with you?”

Wang Yadan had said that Nie Zhan had never dated, but Jiaxin didn’t believe it. A high-quality man like Nie Zhan must have had lots of girls chasing him. With so many excellent girls around, it was impossible that none of them had touched his heart. If that was truly the case, she would have to think carefully.

Nie Zhan was silent for a moment and said, “I was the one who initiated the breakup.”

Jiaxin thought to herself that rumors should indeed not be believed; having had past relationships was no big deal, as long as there were no lingering attachments. Curiously, she asked, “Can you tell me why? If it’s not convenient, just pretend I didn’t ask.”

Nie Zhan felt there was nothing he couldn’t talk about, “It was my problem. After we got together, other than attending classes, she wanted to spend all her other time with me.”

“I believe that whether you’re dating or married later on, everyone should have their own social circle and personal space. She felt that once two people are together, there should be no secrets, and that it was not okay to have too much interaction with the opposite sex. I couldn’t accept that, so I broke up with her.”

Jiaxin understood; the girl had thrown herself into the relationship and wanted to stick together every second, demanding the same from him, while Nie Zhan felt that a relationship shouldn’t be everything. Neither was wrong; their philosophies were simply different.

Looking at Jiaxin, Nie Zhan said, “I think girls should also have their own careers and circle of friends…”

With a tilted head and a smile, Jiaxin replied, “I’m a love brain. Once I start dating, I’ll devote all my energy and thoughts to my partner.”

Nie Zhan immediately thought of his mother upon hearing this term; it was the perfect description for her. He originally wanted to say that Jiaxin wasn’t like that, but then quickly remembered Feng Qinglei saying that girls like to hear sweet nothings, and after pondering a moment, he said earnestly, “If you’re a love brain, I like it too.”

Seeing him say these romantic words with such a serious expression, Jiaxin burst into laughter.
