Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire
Chapter 361 - Chapter 361 Chapter 350 Guidance

Chapter 361: Chapter 350 Guidance Chapter 361: Chapter 350 Guidance By five o’clock, Lu Jianguang brought Lu Ping and Lu An over.

Lu Ping told Lu Jiaxin that he was preparing for exams but shared his troubles, such as not understanding some parts of his textbooks, and even the doctors at the hospital didn’t understand them.

Lu Jiaxin felt this wasn’t a big issue, “You can ask your school’s teachers.”

If it were in Hong Kong, one could spend money to hire a tutor. As long as you can afford it, you could hire any kind of tutor.

Lu Ping said he had asked twice already and felt embarrassed to bother them further.

Lu Jiaxin knew he was too proud to ask, and said, “You can’t just focus on the small picture, you have to think about the future. There will be more college graduates, and a junior college education won’t be worth much, you need to improve your education to get promotions. When it’s time to support a family and children, but the money is just so little, what will you do?”

Lu Ping hadn’t thought that far ahead at all.

Lu Jiaxin knew he had to realize this himself, and pushing him might cause a backlash. “For the future, there’s no shame in bending your head. Lu Ping, if you get into graduate school, you can apply to study abroad after you graduate.”

Medical techniques abroad are more advanced than domestic ones, and going abroad for further study could be a significant boost for an individual and very beneficial for future development.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ping immediately shook his head, “With my grades, I might not even get into graduate school, let alone think about studying abroad.”

Lu Jiaxin never expected him to get a state-funded opportunity to study abroad, “Just apply for a good university abroad and go there, I’ll pay for your tuition and living expenses.”

Lu Ping was shocked, “Cousin, how can this be possible? No.”

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile, “Let’s talk about this again when you get accepted to a university abroad, it’s too early now. It has to be a regular university, diploma mills don’t count.”

Although he only had a junior college degree, he had fought his way through millions of people, so his intellect and IQ were certainly not a problem. Whether he could get into graduate school would depend on his ability to withstand the hardship.

“Okay.”

Seeing that they were finished talking, Lu An approached and asked, “Cousin, Big Brother, what were you talking about?”

“We were discussing whether you can get into Public Security University next year. I heard from your mom that you’ve made a lot of progress this term, and it seems hopeful for you to get into Public Security University.”

Lu An shook his head, “My grades are still quite risky, but I still have one term left, I will keep working hard.”

“Cousin, you said before, if I get into Public Security University you will grant me a wish, you have to keep your word.”

Lu Jiaxin smiled, “I will definitely keep my word, it depends on whether you can get in or not.”

When it was almost time for dinner, Wang Xiaojie pulled Jiaxin aside, away from the kids, and said, “Jiaxin, thank you! The kids look up to you the most now. They listen to you more than they listen to me or your brother a hundred times over.”

Her words and those of her husband were falling on deaf ears with the kids. But it didn’t matter, under Jiaxin’s guidance they were all ambitious; the eldest son was preparing for postgraduate studies, and the younger son scored 509 points at the end of term, and with continued effort, there was a great chance of getting into Public Security University. If both sons got in, there would be no need to worry about their futures.

“Sister-in-law, there’s no need for such formalities among family.”

After dinner, Wang Xiaojie took Lu Ping and the others home. Before they left, she said with a smile, “Next year when we move, you’ll stay at our place when you come back, no more staying in hotels.”

Currently, it wasn’t feasible to have everyone at their house for meals. First, there were too many people and their house was too small; second, the soundproofing was so poor that it would only cause unnecessary trouble.

“Okay.”

Lu Jiajie didn’t leave; he stayed with his two kids. Since his divorce from Ma Lili, he felt quite free to take his kids anywhere without anyone commenting. Sometimes he even thought it was good this way, without anyone to answer to.

As the four siblings went into the room to chat, Lu Jianguang said, “Jiaxin, why didn’t you consult us when you bought the house?”

“If I had consulted with you, would you have agreed to buy this house?”

Lu Jianguang was stumped. Of course, he would have disagreed. A house with twelve rooms and a backyard was something only very wealthy families could afford in the past.

Lu Jiazong chimed in, “Big brother, the house is already bought, it’s Jiaxin’s goodwill gesture, you and sister-in-law should just accept it.”

Lu Jiajie, having been unaware of this, quickly asked where the house was. Hearing it was next to Chaoyang Park, he thought it was a great location, “The transportation there is convenient, and the schools are good. I’ll inquire there tomorrow to see if anyone is selling a house.”

Lu Jianguang knew that it was rare for people to sell houses now, “If there’s no house for sale around our place, you could consider buying in the nearby alleys. If you move out, let Qiangqiang and Xiao Feng stay at my house.”

Before, when the house was too small, he couldn’t make such an offer; now, with so many rooms, freeing up two for the kids would be no problem at all.

Lu Jiajie immediately declined, “How could I? You and sister-in-law already work so hard, I can’t add to your burden.”

Lu Jiaxin thought this was easy to solve, “For the children’s education, just hire a good tutor, and big brother and sister-in-law just need to supervise the tutor; for the living arrangements, when you’re not at home, have the housekeeper work at big brother’s place, pay her extra if the workload becomes too much, I’m sure the housekeeper would be willing to help out.”

In this world, the hardest thing is to be without money; with money you can solve ninety-nine percent of problems.

Lu Jiajie immediately liked the idea, “Big brother, let’s arrange it as Jiaxin suggested.”

Once he settled the house and arranged for the kids, he would have to go to Yangcheng City. He had been at home for more than half a year, consuming without contributing, and he was actually quite anxious.

This time, Lu Jianguang didn’t refuse but said that the extra pay for the housekeeper’s increased workload would be covered by them.

Lu Jiajie knew his brother cared about face, and laughed as he accepted. They would let him pay, and he’d make up for it from somewhere else later.

The four siblings talked for over an hour before dispersing. Lu Jianguang had been drinking and wasn’t allowed to go back; he was arranged by Second Sister-in-law Lu to sleep with Lu Jiajie and Qiangqiang. As for Xiao Feng, Second Sister-in-law Lu took her to sleep.

Xiao Qiu wanted to sleep with Jiaxin, and as they lay down they started to chat. It was mostly her talking and Jiaxin listening attentively, “Cousin, Qiangqiang’s mother got remarried; she remarried in the third month after divorcing Fifth Uncle.”

“It’s not right to say remarried, she actually had a man move in with her. I heard from my mom that she underwent that surgery at the hospital, and after the surgery, she could have more children.”

Lu Jiaxin was astonished, “He moved in with her? How did that happen?”

Xiao Qiu said with difficulty, “It was Fifth Uncle who suggested it, persuading her to let a man move in. That way, if she gave birth to a son, her parents wouldn’t make her subsidize Ma Jixiang anymore. Surprisingly, she actually took the advice.”

Lu Jiaxin was speechless. But after thinking about it, the advice did make sense. If Ma Lili let a man move in and had a son, then her father and mother Ma would definitely change their attitude. The problem was, no one could guarantee she would give birth to a son.
