Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire
Chapter 319 - Chapter 319 Chapter 308 Overreaching Oneself Invites

Chapter 319: Chapter 308: Overreaching Oneself Invites Discontent Chapter 319: Chapter 308: Overreaching Oneself Invites Discontent Nie Zhan was a man of swift and decisive action, and that very afternoon he had people move his belongings from the Nie Family Old Mansion into his own villa. At the beginning of the year, he had bought a villa with a backyard in Shallow Bay, worth over sixty-eight million.

When Old Master Nie learned the full story, he was furious, “Ah Zhan likes Miss Lu, and neither Manlin nor I have interfered, so why are you sticking your nose in so far?”

Nie Manli told him about how Lu Jiaxin fell out with her biological father and was playing both sides. After finishing, she asked, “Daddy, that mainland girl doesn’t even care about her own father’s career. If Ah Zhan doesn’t want her in the future, I can’t imagine the crazy things she might do. Daddy, you can’t let your momentary soft-heartedness harm Ah Zhan,”

Old Master Nie hadn’t been aware of so many issues involved, but his stance remained the same, “Ah Zhan has always been decisive since he was young. Don’t interfere in his affairs, or it might affect the brothers’ relationship.”

The problem was they couldn’t interfere even if they wanted to; Nie Zhan simply wouldn’t listen to them. If it hadn’t been for his feigned submission coupled with Jingwen’s persuasion, Ah Zhan wouldn’t have come back at all.

“Daddy…”

Old Master Nie said, “Because of you, Ah Zhan has now thrown the hotel’s affairs back at us. With such great capabilities you claim to have, why don’t you deal with it?”

Nie Manli was stunned, “Ah Zhan, how could he do this?”

Old Master Nie said, “You’ve humiliated his girlfriend so much, yet you expect him to clean up your son’s mess. Do you think he’s made of clay?”

Nie Manli was definitely not capable of handling such a big issue. Even if she had been willing, Old Master Nie was afraid the situation would only get worse, so in the end, he had no choice but to call the eldest grandson back.

Nie Jingwen was very puzzled. When the hotel poisoning incident happened, Nie Zhan had told him to take care of his wife with peace of mind, but now his grandfather wanted him to come back and deal with it, which was clearly not right. He didn’t dare to ask when he noticed Old Master Nie spoke with anger; instead, he turned to call the housekeeper.

The housekeeper said, “At breakfast, madam mentioned introducing Miss Guo to him and belittled Miss Lu severely. The third young master was extremely angry and moved out.”

Nie Jingwen had thought it was the affair with Nie Manlin that had caused the dispute between them, never expecting that his mother would arrange a blind date for Nie Zhan. Let alone Nie Zhan liking Miss Lu, even before knowing her, he was unwilling to go on a blind date. Sometimes, he didn’t understand why his mother, who had also received a modern education, could be more conservative and rigid than his grandfather.

The housekeeper, knowing his temperament and anticipating that he might phone Nie Manli to question her, said, “Eldest Young Master, due to the second young master’s issue recently, madam has been unable to eat or sleep properly and is in poor spirits.”

Nie Jingwen understood his meaning, but still turned to call Nie Manli, “Mommy, knowing that Ah Zhan has a girl he likes, why would you want to introduce Miss Guo to Ah Zhan?”

Nie Manli said disdainfully, “That mainland girl Lu Jiaxin you’re talking about? That woman is scheming and malicious. Such a woman is nowhere near worthy of entering our Nie Family’s door.”

Nie Jingwen was so angered he laughed, “Mommy, Ah Zhan is just your nephew, not your son. You have no right to interfere in his affairs.”

He all but directly said Nie Manli was overstepping her bounds. No matter the situation, it was not her place to meddle. If anyone should, it would be the grandfather or the second aunt. Of course, even if it was the grandfather or the second aunt, they had no say over Nie Zhan either.

Upon hearing his words, Nie Manli was very angry and said, “I am doing this for his own good. I was against Jingwen marrying Kang Huijuan from the start, but you all told me to respect his choice. What was the outcome? He brought home a jinx. If it weren’t for that family’s doing, the hotel wouldn’t have encountered such a big incident.”

The more she spoke, the angrier she became, “This time, the hotel incident requires a compensation of eight or nine million. Your grandfather said that Jingshu should pay for it and if there’s no money, then to sell off the assets under his name. With such an incident, the hotel definitely can’t continue operating, so what will Jingshu do?”

Nie Jingwen remained silent. Initially, Nie Manli looked down on the financially ruined Kang Huijuan and disagreed with this marriage. It was Nie Jingshu who came to him begging, and after he had seen Kang Meijuan, who seemed okay at the time, he spoke a few good words for her in front of Nie Manli. But who would have thought that after Kang Huijuan entered the family, they would discover that not only was she shallow and narrow-minded, but she also had quite the audacity.

At first, she knew to restrain herself, but once Nie Jingshu was managing the hotel, she started to push her relatives and friends into the establishment. He had spoken to Jingshu about this several times, but who knew that once Kang Huijuan found out, she would cause discord, leading to strained relationships between the brothers.

Seeing that she remained silent, Nie Manli said, “Jingwen, Ah Zhan always listens to you the most. Persuade him, ask him to break things off with that mainland girl.”

Outsiders didn’t know that Old Master Nie had given the shares of Wansheng Bank and his real estate to the brothers. It wasn’t that he had finally decided to retire and enjoy his old age, but rather it was Nie Zhan’s demand. Nie Zhan straightforwardly said he didn’t want to work hard to expand the company only for someone else to reap the fruits in the end. If the shares weren’t handed over to him, he wouldn’t come back. In the end, his grandfather had no choice but to compromise.

Nie Jingwen was very angry and spoke bluntly, “Mommy, Ah Zhan was so annoyed by you that he moved out, and now he doesn’t even care about the hotel’s affairs. Do you want our brothers to turn against each other and not associate with one another in the future?”

Even grandfather didn’t dare to meddle in Nie Zhan’s affairs. If he dared to intervene, Nie Zhan would absolutely turn his back, and at that time, they wouldn’t even be brothers anymore.

“That’s all the more reason to stop him from associating with that woman.”

Nie Jingwen was really exhausted, “Mommy, this has nothing to do with Miss Lu, it’s that Ah Zhan doesn’t like anyone meddling in his affairs. Mommy, if you think Ah Zhan is not doing well, let your sister-in-law take care of him. Please don’t interfere anymore.”

“If your sister-in-law was willing to manage him, why would I even worry?”

Nie Jingwen was almost fuming with rage, holding back his anger, he said, “I’ll be back tomorrow, we’ll talk about these matters when I get home.”

“Lanlan is pregnant now, how can she travel such long distances…”

Nie Jingwen interrupted her and said, “If Lanlan doesn’t come back, she’ll just stay here to rest, and my mother-in-law has already promised to come over and look after her.”

Nie Manli didn’t say anything more.

Once Lu Jiaxin arrived in Huadu, she called Su Heyuan. Now that she was going out, she would inform Su Heyuan of her whereabouts each time she went somewhere, as her guardian should know.

When Su Heyuan heard that she had gained a lot of inspiration and had many ideas in her mind, he couldn’t help but ask, “Didn’t you say you wanted to start a company? With such a long summer break, aren’t you thinking of registering and listing? Are you giving up on that idea because you’re always going out to have fun?”

How could Lu Jiaxin possibly give up, creating her own fashion brand was her dream in her previous life, “I’ll wait until I turn eighteen, then I’ll start the company. Right now, I just want to relax.”

Since she wasn’t eighteen yet, registering the company now wouldn’t be in her name, and while Su Heyuan would cooperate, she found it troublesome. Moreover, the remaining half year was a good opportunity to accumulate capital, so she chose not to stir things up.

Su Heyuan didn’t persuade her further. She hadn’t reached adulthood yet and had already earned tens of millions. Such news, if spread, would definitely make her an idol for young people, and he himself had no right to criticize her.
