Chapter 451 - Chapter 451 Chapter 439 Heed Advice

Chapter 451: Chapter 439: Heed Advice Chapter 451: Chapter 439: Heed Advice After swimming in the sea for nearly an hour, Lu Jiaxin became tired and climbed aboard the yacht. Nie Zhan, finding it dull to swim alone, also followed her up.

After changing clothes, the two lay on the deck. Lu Jiaxin said, “Ah Zhan, when you get some time off, let’s go on vacation to the Maldives! We can go diving there to see the corals and sea fish.”

The scenery in the Maldives is truly beautiful, and the water is really blue. It was a pity that last time she went, she wasn’t well-prepared and didn’t get to dive and see the underwater sights.

“Okay.”

The sea breeze was comfortable, but only when the yacht wasn’t moving. When they headed back, the wind was strong, hair flew wildly, and Lu Jiaxin, tired, went back to the cabin to rest.

Nie Zhan watched her lie down on the bed and fall asleep after just a short while, and he admired her ability to sleep just like that. He drank a glass of water and then went out, calling Gu Wenfeng to the deck to inquire about Lu Jiaxin’s activities in the Mainland recently.

Gu Wenfeng succinctly reported on all the places she had visited, and then gave a suggestion, “Mr. Nie, the boss likes hiking a lot, so you can take her hiking on weekends sometimes.”

Nie Zhan nodded, then asked, “Has Jiaxin’s relationship with her dad eased up now?”

Gu Wenfeng thought for a moment before saying, “At its core, it’s the same as before. However, Lu Hongjun has probably come to his senses and no longer makes unreasonable demands, so the boss no longer argues with him.”

“Mr. Nie, it’s different in the Mainland compared to Hong Kong, where everyone believes in the infallibility of parents. So, no matter how fed up the boss is with Lu Hongjun, when she returns to the Mainland, she still visits him and will have to provide for him in the future.”

Nie Zhan understood; Lu Hongjun must have faced reality and didn’t dare to anger Jiaxin anymore. And for a comfortable life in his latter years, he would still rely on Jiaxin.

Gu Wenfeng thought for a bit and then said, “Mr. Nie, our boss’s Fifth Brother, Lu Jiajie, has gone to Moscow, and his current situation is unknown. The boss is so worried she’s having nightmares, dreaming he’s being tortured and killed. She wants to hire someone to find Lu Jiajie in Moscow, but hasn’t found anyone suitable yet.”

He thought that Nie Zhan had many friends and a wide network, and it was quite possible that one of his friends or classmates might have some connections in Moscow!

Nie Zhan asked, “Does Jiaxin have a photo of him?”

“Yes, she brought a few taken last year.”

Upon reaching shore, they unexpectedly bumped into an acquaintance. Feng Qinglei was surprised to see Nie Zhan; this busy man was actually out at sea for fun, but he understood as soon as he saw Lu Jiaxin following behind.

Nie Zhan frowned and asked, “You’re heading out to sea now?”

Feng Qinglei laughed, “We are going night fishing. Miss Lu, if you’re interested, you can join us with Nie Zhan.”

Lu Jiaxin glanced at the two scantily clad women boarding the yacht and shook her head, “Sorry, I’m very tired today and want to go back to rest early.”

Feng Qinglei was easy-going about it, “Then we’ll make plans some other time.”

After they parted ways, Lu Jiaxin jokingly said, “Night fishing with two beauties, Young Master Feng really knows how to enjoy himself. Ah Zhan, are you jealous?”

Nie Zhan lightly brushed her nose and said, “Don’t be naughty. He has his way of life, and I have mine. Having you in my life is enough for me; I won’t be envious of anyone.”

Although she knew better than to believe sweet nothings, deep inside, Lu Jiaxin felt very pleased.

It was already past six when Lu Jiaxin got home. Instead of going for a run, she did yoga. After sweating profusely, she rested for a while and then took a bath.

After the bath, Lu Jiaxin found Nie Zhan reading a financial magazine. She sat in front of the dressing table, wiping her face, and asked, “I remember Wansheng Real Estate has two properties going on sale soon, haven’t I?”

Nie Zhan closed the magazine and said with a smile, “The one in Causeway Bay opens next month, and the one in Mong Kok mid-August. Why, are you planning to buy a house for Xue Mao?”

Lu Jiaxin frowned and said, “Didn’t you say that the stock market is overheating and you’re worried about a stock market crash? You should hold some promotions for these two properties and sell them off quickly to recoup funds.”

Nie Zhan’s expression turned serious all of a sudden, “Jiaxin, did you get some insider news?”

Lu Jiaxin chuckled, “What news can I get? Don’t you know all the people I know? After recalling what you said, I started to feel uneasy. I think you should sell these two properties as soon as possible and use the recouped funds to pay off loans, to avoid the banks coming to collect debts.”

Wansheng Real Estate’s debt ratio had reached forty-eight percent. Nie Zhan was a prudent businessman. Previously, the debt ratio was always kept below thirty percent, influenced by her, he had twice raised funds through rights issues and borrowed heavily from banks, all to acquire land. As the real estate market heated up, Wansheng Real Estate’s market value had risen to 2.8 billion.

Nie Zhan, although not superstitious, had heard that some people are very sensitive and have a premonition when danger approaches. He nodded and said, “I will have a meeting tomorrow when back at work and ask them to come up with a better plan, aiming to sell the houses within three months.”

Lu Jiaxin nodded, then said, “Ah Zhan, if everyone in Hong Kong starts trading stocks, I’m going to transfer my two percent shareholding in Wansheng Real Estate.”

She wanted to gather as much capital as possible and make a big play. If she made enough money, she could unfold her future plans.

Nie Zhan said indulgently, “If you want to sell, sell them, no need to tell me.”

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, “How can that be? Not only are you the boss of Wansheng Real Estate, but you are also my boyfriend! Such a big matter as transferring shares, I definitely need to inform you. Otherwise, if you hear it from someone else, you might think we’ve fallen out!”

Nie Zhan was delighted and couldn’t help but walk over and embrace her and start kissing.

Lu Jiaxin, with no ripples of sentiment at the moment, pushed him away, saying, “We’re talking business here!”

Ever since they became intimate, this guy had become particularly clingy and liked to kiss her a lot – she sometimes thought he had turned into a kissing fiend.

Nie Zhan was somewhat helpless. Feng Qinglei always said his girlfriends were too clingy and wanted to break up after two or three months. His girlfriend, however, was completely different; she always had endless things to do, and he, on the contrary, wanted them to be together all the time.

“Go ahead, I’m listening.”

By now, Lu Jiaxin had lost all desire to continue the conversation. She finished applying cream to her face and got into bed, saying, “It’s past eight, and you have work tomorrow. Get to sleep quickly!”

Nie Zhan got into bed too and turned off the lamp. But once under the covers, he started kissing Lu Jiaxin and getting handsy. It was only eight o’clock – the night was just beginning, and he was far from willing to sleep!

After creating a commotion until past ten o’clock, Lu Jiaxin was so exhausted she couldn’t even move her fingers. She mumbled with eyes half-closed, “Go back to your own home tomorrow. You’re not allowed to stay here anymore.”

Her tone was coquettish, not threatening at all.

Nie Zhan, overwhelmed with love, kissed her and then said, “Baby, I have a college classmate who is from Moscow. I’ve asked him to help inquire about Lu Jiajie,”

Lu Jiaxin was already asleep and didn’t hear a word.
