Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire
Chapter 300 - Chapter 300 Chapter 289 Feng Shui

Chapter 300: Chapter 289: Feng Shui Chapter 300: Chapter 289: Feng Shui Lu Jiaxin took a walk outside and felt much better. When she returned to the hotel, she called Nie Zhan, and this time the call connected quickly.

Hearing her voice, Nie Zhan laughed and asked, “Su Heyuan said you went hiking and haven’t come down from the mountain. How tall is that mountain that it takes so long to climb?”

Lu Jiaxin briefly introduced the situation of Mount Wuyue to him, “I’ve only climbed Mount Huashan for now, next summer vacation I plan to climb Mount Tai. If you have time next summer vacation, we can go together.”

Seeing her taking the initiative to invite him, Nie Zhan happily agreed, “You’ve contacted Su Heyuan, right? Did he tell you about the situation with Madam Guh and your cousin?”

Lu Jiaxin’s expression fell a bit upon hearing this, “Yes, I know. Su Heyuan told me everything and even suggested I shouldn’t return for now. Nie Zhan, He Zhuliang is so eager to liquidate my Aunt’s assets to recoup funds, isn’t there something going on here?”

Nie Zhan, who had already known she was very perceptive, didn’t hide it from her, “Jiaxin, He Zhuliang’s situation is quite complex and cannot be explained in a sentence or two. When you come back, I will explain it to you slowly. Right, you should know about this matter, but don’t mention it to Su Heyuan.”

Lu Jiaxin felt that something was amiss, just as she suspected, and without asking for a reason, she only said, “Right now, I’m worried about my Aunt and Haifan.”

Nie Zhan assured her not to worry, “He Zhuliang has already obtained Madam Guh’s assets. He won’t harm her. At most, he will send her to a nursing home with low fees. As for your cousin, being a young child poses no threat to him, and he won’t do anything to him.”

Lu Jiaxin trusted Nie Zhan, hence she didn’t hide anything from him, “My Aunt has stored a batch of jewelry and antiques in a safety deposit box. She has told him the password and the key. I’m worried that this cannot be kept secret. If that child is willing to hand them over, it would be fine, but if he stubbornly refuses, it’s unpredictable that they might do something rash to him.”

Although she had reminded Haifan, who knew that having lost money could be earned back, but one only has one life, but this child has suffered from poverty and faced so much hardship, what if he refuses to give in? Now, He Zhuliang, in his pursuit of money, has even made moves on He Lao San and his son, let alone Haifan, who has no capability to protect himself.

Nie Zhan said, “Don’t worry, I went to check on Madam Guh and Haifan at the He family old house this afternoon; both of them are in good condition. If you’re still concerned, I’ll visit them in a couple of days and remind Haifan then.”

If he still clings to those things after being reminded, then there’s nothing anyone can do.

Nie Zhan thought for a moment then asked, “Jiaxin, did Madam Guh give you anything?”

Lu Jiaxin didn’t hide from him and replied, “Apart from two apartments, she also gave me three sets of jewelry. One set of ruby jewelry looks very expensive, probably worth over a million.”

“Is that all?”

Lu Jiaxin indicated there was more, “She also gave me a sum of money which was her private savings and not registered in her own name. That was over ten years ago, He Zhuliang probably won’t be able to find out.”

Nie Zhan knew Madam Guh wouldn’t keep all her eggs in one basket, it figured, “This person, did they intersect with Madam Guh?”

Lu Jiaxin didn’t mention the person’s name, only indicating that on the surface there was no transaction between them, but they owed Madam Guh a big favor and therefore agreed to safeguard the money.

Nie Zhan said, “Based on what you said, He Zhuliang will not be able to find that money. But just to be on the safe side, the source of the assets in your name should still be disclosed to some extent.”

“Tell him directly? Will he believe it?”

Nie Zhan spoke with a smile, “No need to tell him directly, I’ll get Feng Qinglei to release some hints. When He Hanxuan gets the news, he will go home and tell him. However, by doing this, the He Family will easily guess that you are ‘green’.”

Lu Jiaxin said, “The clothes showcased at that fashion show were all designed by me. I avoided publicity because fame often brings unnecessary trouble. Now, under these circumstances, naturally, my safety is the most important.”

Nie Zhan wasn’t surprised she agreed, having realized during their time together that she valued her life, which was actually a good thing. Those who cherish life tend to love living.

Nie Zhan said, “Jiaxin, I’ve arranged for Gu Wenfeng and Zong Jinghua to get their gun licenses, so you’ll be a bit safer when you go out.”

Seeing her agree, Nie Zhan suggested they hire a few more bodyguards, both male and female. His reasoning was that Qian Xiaoxiao would later need training, so they should find a female bodyguard now. This way, once Xiaoxiao is familiar with her, she can ensure Xiaoxiao’s safety even when she’s away.

Lu Jiaxin agreed but said, “Just a female bodyguard will do. There’s no need for male bodyguards. I’ve found two here, and if there are no issues, they can stay by my side.”

Nie Zhan frowned but didn’t insist further, “Alright.”

He didn’t mention that his own recruits were female mercenaries; as long as they were exceptionally capable and had professional ethics, their past work was unimportant.

Lu Jiaxin changed the subject, talking about her recent mountain climbing experience, “Standing on the summit of West Peak, I truly felt like I could reach out and pick the stars. When you have the time, I’ll take you there, and I’m sure you’ll be amazed.”

“Let’s go together during the winter break then.”

Lu Jiaxin smiled and replied, “The mountains of Mountain Wuyue are covered by thick snow in winter, and climbing can be very dangerous. It’s best to go in spring or fall; summer is just too hot. I’ve tanned so much over these past half-month that I’m almost as black as ink.”

She had indeed tanned quite a bit, but saying she was as black as ink was an exaggeration, after all, she wore a hat and was dressed in long sleeves and pants, and she frequently sprayed herself with water. Qian Xiaoxiao truly got as dark as charcoal, being naturally not that fair and finding wearing a hat too troublesome.

Nie Zhan laughed and then comforted Lu Jiaxin, “It’s alright, that’s called a healthy beauty. In Europe and America, there are even people who tan intentionally because they think they’re too pale!”

“That’s because some black people don’t want to get lighter and be ostracized by their peers, so they maintain the same skin color as them. But it’s fine to be tanned, I’ll lighten up again once I go back to school.”

Nie Zhan shared the same sentiment, valuing health over beauty, “It’s fine, you still look good even if you’ve gotten darker. By the way, the examination results came out last week, and you passed.”

Though passing was expected, Lu Jiaxin was still very pleased.

Nie Zhan discussed the issue of the Guh Residence with Lu Jiaxin, “You told me before that Madam Guh wants to spend her remaining years in this house. I’ve had people spread the word that this house has bad feng shui. The wealthy in Hong Kong tend to believe in feng shui, and houses with bad feng shui are hard to sell. When the price drops, you can buy it then, no rush.”

Lu Jiaxin had no objections, “Aunt doesn’t actually want to live there; she said that to avoid going to a nursing home. Taking it for less than one million is fine, but it’s not necessary if it’s more than that.”

Guh Xiuxiu doesn’t necessarily have to live inside the Guh Residence; she just wants to spend her later years in a spacious villa rather than a nursing home. In a little while, she plans to buy a villa in Shouson Hill with a large backyard, which should cost around four to five million. For someone like Guh Xiuxiu, living in a quiet and beautiful environment would actually be better.

“We’ll see when the time comes, no rush.”

They chatted about this and that for a long while until Xiaoxiao came to remind them that it was past eleven before they hung up the phone.
