Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire
Chapter 285 - Chapter 285 Chapter 274 Theres a Big Backer Behind

Chapter 285: Chapter 274: There’s a Big Backer Behind Chapter 285: Chapter 274: There’s a Big Backer Behind By the time Lu Jiaxin returned to the Guh Residence, it was already ten o’clock, and she tiptoed upstairs, took a shower, and then climbed into bed to sleep. The next day, she woke up at 6:30 and didn’t linger in bed.

After washing up, she called for Qian Xiaoxiao, and the two went out for a run. This area was home to the wealthy, so they didn’t need to worry about safety. The He Family wouldn’t choose this place to harm her either; it would provoke public outrage.

After the run, Lu Jiaxin’s clothes were soaked with sweat, so she went back to her room to shower again. That was the annoying part of summer–breaking into sweat with just a bit of movement.

After showering, Lu Jiaxin wrapped up her hair and called Feng Lihua, “Sorry, I was out having fun and got home late, around ten o’clock, so I guessed you and your baby were already asleep and didn’t call.”

Feng Lihua politely said it was fine, “My friend’s brother took leave, and he’s now looking after the child in the hospital. You can meet him whenever you want, but it has to be near the hospital.”

“Then, I’ll invite him to lunch, near the hospital,” Lu Jiaxin said.

“Sure, I’ll take you there.”

“Okay.”

At noon, Lu Jiaxin met Zong Jinghua. He was very tall and well-built, reminiscent of the members of the Flying Tigers Squad from the Hong Kong dramas she watched. Well, he just wasn’t as handsome.

After the four sat down, Zong Jinghua asked, “Miss Lu, Miss Feng must have told you about my situation. I desperately need money for my daughter’s surgery. If you hire me, I will need to get an advance on a year’s salary. Once my daughter’s surgery is done, I can start working.”

Those who could join the Flying Tigers Squad not only had unquestionable skills, but also had clean backgrounds. Additionally, he had another advantage: having connections in the police would make it easier to gather information later on.

Lu Jiaxin nodded, “Advancing one year’s salary is not a problem, but have you fully understood my situation?”

Zong Jinghua nodded, “Miss Feng has told me everything. You’re dating the Third Young Master Nie, and the Nie Family wouldn’t dare to touch you. At most, they would only try to create minor nuisances.”

Hearing this for the second time, Lu Jiaxin grew curious and asked, “Does the Nie Family also have connections with big shots from the syndicates? Why haven’t I heard about this?”

If there were any connections, the media or the circles would have been buzzing about it in secret, but she had not heard anything about it since coming to Hong Kong.

Zong Jinghua had been in the police force for many years and knew quite a bit, “Old Master Nie only had dealings with a former syndicate boss, but that boss met with an accident six years ago and passed away.”

An accident? Nine times out of ten, those were accidents orchestrated by humans. There were few syndicate bosses who met a good end, and those who did had stepped out of the business early on.

Seeing the puzzlement on Lu Jiaxin’s face, Zong Jinghua was somewhat surprised, “Miss Lu, don’t tell me you don’t know what Mr. Nie’s father’s family does for a living?”

“Ah, didn’t the media say his father died a long time ago?” Lu Jiaxin asked.

Zong Jinghua chuckled, “The media is full of nonsense. The father of Third Mr. Nie is very much alive.”

Lu Jiaxin asked in surprise, “Still alive? Then why didn’t the Nie Family come out to set the record straight when the media fabricated his death?”

Zong Jinghua shook his head, “The father of the Third Young Master Nie comes from a very prominent family, much more so than the Nie Family itself. People from the upper echelons of society are aware of the Third Young Master Nie’s background, and that’s why he’s so popular.”

She was just hiring a bodyguard and hadn’t expected to uncover the secret that Nie Zhan’s real father was still alive. Perhaps it wasn’t a secret, it was just that she wasn’t in that circle yet to know. She didn’t continue to question, thinking it would be better to ask Nie Zhan directly when the time was right.

After lunch, Lu Jiaxin wrote a check and handed it to Zong Jinghua, saying, “My lawyer will come to see you this afternoon to sign the contract.”

Zong Jinghua, preoccupied with his daughter in the hospital ward, finished the conversation and hurried off. Lu Jiaxin watched his retreating figure and said, “Having such a good father is also a stroke of luck for the little girl.”

This involuntarily reminded her of her own dad. She was sure her dad must be very sad since she left, but fortunately, he still had two sons, and she hoped he would quickly recover from his grief.

Once inside the car with Feng Lihua, Lu Jiaxin finally asked, “Sister Feng, do you know what Nie Zhan’s father does?”

Feng Lihua replied, “I know that Young Master Nie’s father is a scientist, but I’m not clear about his specific field of research. I thought you knew, so I didn’t mention it.”

Lu Jiaxin replied a bit helplessly, “I didn’t know; I always thought his dad was dead, and that his dad’s family probably wasn’t much.”

“Why did you think that?”

Lu Jiaxin explained, “In the Mainland, it’s rare for a man not from a prestigious family or without any achievements to let his son take his mother’s surname. If a son takes his mother’s surname, it usually means the father is incompetent and unable to marry.”

So entrenched beliefs could be deadly. Since Nie Zhan carried the Nie surname, she subconsciously thought his biological father came from an ordinary family, misled by the media to believe he had passed away early, unaware that the reality was completely different from what she knew.

Feng Lihua asked, “Will this affect your relationship with Young Master Nie?”

Lu Jiaxin said, “Nie Zhan’s father’s family is very powerful; isn’t that a good thing? It means having another support in the future.”

Feng Lihua said with a smile, “It’s also possible that they might oppose your relationship with Young Master Nie, right?”

“If Nie Zhan is so useless, there’s no point being together. No, I mean, we haven’t started dating yet, still in the observation period.”

Before they confirm their relationship, it’s still essential to know what his father’s background is, as it sounded quite formidable.

As soon as she got home and hadn’t even sat down, Ah Mei told her, “Miss Cousin, Mr. Su called for you just now, and when he heard you weren’t here, he insisted that you call him back.”

Lu Jiaxin went upstairs to return Su Heyuan’s call and heard him say the goods had already arrived in Peng City and were ready to be delivered the next day, so she needed to make arrangements.

Lu Jiaxin hadn’t expected it to be so quick and thought it would take a few more days, “I’ve already agreed with Nie Zhan that this batch of goods will be stored in the Nie family’s bank.”

As for how much money they could mortgage, they definitely needed an expert to appraise and estimate the value. She expected the amount to be between twenty and thirty million, and she hoped it would be as she wished.

Su Heyuan jokingly asked, “What, have you two confirmed your relationship already?”

“No, but I’ve agreed to his pursuit. Only when his sincerity arrives will I agree to date him.”

Hearing the joy hidden in her words, Su Heyuan laughed and said, “True, no one values what they can get too easily. But with these rich young men who are veterans of the love game, you should be careful. Don’t foolishly fall in love and give everything of yourself.”

The more you invest, the more painful it is when you break up. It’s not that he was cursing them, but in Hong Kong, the frequency of dating and breaking up is quite high, and as a diamond bachelor, Nie Zhan would face even more temptations.

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile, “Don’t worry; I won’t be making sacrifices for anyone. If I don’t get an equivalent response, I’ll give up.”

The person she loved the most was herself, and everyone else came after. However, speaking of which, she really didn’t understand those who were lovestruck–why would anyone place a man above themselves! And as for those with lovestruck brains, she always stayed as far away as possible.
