Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire
Chapter 474 - Chapter 474 Chapter 462 Exorbitant Compensation

Chapter 474: Chapter 462 Exorbitant Compensation Chapter 474: Chapter 462 Exorbitant Compensation Wansheng Real Estate and the shares of Wan Sheng Bank were collected by Lu Jiaxin. If it hadn’t been for Gu Wenfeng and Wang Lin fighting to protect her, with her falling into the hands of the kidnappers, she would have suffered greatly even if she hadn’t been killed. This was the compensation she deserved. Why wouldn’t she accept it?

Old Master Nie was relieved when he saw that she was willing to accept the shares, “Miss Lu, Ah Zhan is sincere about you. I hope you won’t take your anger out on him because of this.”

Lu Jiaxin was a very rational person. When she had spoken of being calm before, she actually wanted to see how Nie Zhan and the Nie family would treat Kang Huijuan. Nie Zhan had already said that Kang Huijuan would rot in jail, and now Old Master Nie and Nie Manli had not only apologized but also offered compensation, so the anger in her heart had dissipated quite a bit. However, it was impossible for her to take the money and not break up, “I will talk to Ah Zhan properly.”

Nie Manli was so angry she could die, but she was afraid that speaking up would result in giving away even more shares, so she dared not show her temper and even had to keep smiling.

Old Master Nie’s health was poor, and after speaking with Lu Jiaxin for a short while, he took his leave, inviting her to visit their home before he left.

Seeing Nie Manli’s forced smiles, Lu Jiaxin felt even better and said she would visit when she had time. Just for Nie Manli’s ghastly appearance, she was reluctant to go to the Nie Family Old Mansion.

As the car left the Lu Family Mansion, Nie Manli’s face was drawn as she spoke unhappily, “Dad, why did you give her shares of Wansheng Real Estate and the bank? Didn’t you say before that these shares would be given to Jingwen and the others in the future?”

Old Master Nie spoke with a cold face, “If it weren’t for you always siding with that damned bastard and not disciplining Jingshu well, would he have made such a fuss over marrying Kang Huijuan? If this harbinger of disaster hadn’t entered our door, would our home have had so many problems?”

He was extremely disgusted with Kang Huijuan and had also completely lost hope in Nie Jingshu. Hence, he was prepared to send them away to be out of sight, out of mind.

“But that’s too much. Giving two ancient paintings would have been enough.”

Old Master Nie let out a cold snort, “Do you think Miss Lu has never seen the world? The valuable things she has in our bank take up several boxes.”

“Also, before we came, I told you not to say a word if I didn’t speak. If it wasn’t for your interruption, I would have only needed to give Miss Lu five percent of the real estate shares.”

Nie Manli was so regretful she could turn green, and at the same time, she felt Lu Jiaxin was too greedy.

Back at home, Old Master Nie called Nie Jingwen into the study to talk about the transfer of shares, “Your mother blurted out nonsense, and Lu Jiaxin looked very displeased at that time, so I added another one percent of Wan Sheng Bank’s shares.”

Nie Jingwen said with hurt feelings, “Grandfather, giving two or three percent of Wansheng Real Estate shares would have been enough; five percent is too much.”

As far as he knew, after giving Nie Zhan forty-one percent of the shares, Grandfather only had a five percent share of Wansheng Real Estate left. Now that these 5% of the shares were given to Lu Jiaxin, he had no shares of Wansheng Real Estate left in his name.

Old Master Nie asked, “Are you feeling uncomfortable with this?”

Nie Jingwen nodded, “I am indeed reluctant to let them go. But I trust there must be a reason for Grandfather doing this.”

Old Master Nie felt gratified, for the most thoughtful was still his eldest grandson. “After Ah Zhan took over Wansheng Real Estate, everything was by the book every day. While other companies were developing, Wansheng Real Estate was marking time. Marking time is actually the same as falling behind. But since he started dating Lu Jiaxin, he suddenly became proactive. Not only did he raise capital for stock issuance to hoard land, but he also ventured into many other fields.”

“Kang Huijuan’s issue was something our Nie family was wrong about. If we did not give her an explanation, with this woman’s temperament, she would break up with Ah Zhan. If they break up, Ah Zhan might return to his former self.”

Two years ago, Wansheng Real Estate had a market value of just over a billion, but in these two years, with Ah Zhan’s hard work, the company’s market value has now reached more than 29 billion. If development continues at this rate, who’s to say it couldn’t stand shoulder to shoulder with giants like New World Development?

Nie Jingwen said with some annoyance, “Grandpa, after Jingshu divorces that woman, let him go abroad with Mom to take care of the kids!”

The food poisoning incident at the hotel had damaged the reputation of the Nie family, and to make matters worse, he had run off, leaving his pregnant wife to deal with the aftermath. Now their branch of the family had suffered heavy losses, and who knew what else they might have to endure if they stayed.

The family had been in turmoil these past few years, all because of Nie Jingshu and Kang Huijuan’s antics, and he could no longer tolerate it. Now, one was in jail, and the other might as well be gone for good.

Old Master Nie had the same idea and nodded in agreement.

When Nie Zhan received a call from Old Master Nie and learned that Lu Jiaxin had accepted the compensation, he felt a wave of relief. From what he knew of her, accepting the compensation meant that the alarm had been lifted.

After hanging up with Old Master Nie, he immediately called Lu Jiaxin. This time she answered, and Nie Zhan asked cautiously, “Jiaxin, may I come over to see you?”

“Come over,” she said.

Less than half an hour later, Nie Zhan arrived at the Lu Family Mansion. At that moment, Lu Jiaxin was running on the treadmill in the gym, her earplugs in and unaware of his arrival.

Nie Zhan didn’t dare interrupt her, so he sat down to wait. Jiaxin only stopped when she estimated that it was about time for him to arrive, stepping off the treadmill and grabbing a towel to wipe her sweat.

Noticing Nie Zhan sitting nearby, Lu Jiaxin asked, “When did you get here?”

“About ten minutes ago.”

After an acknowledging hum, Lu Jiaxin said, “Your grandfather gave me five percent of the real estate shares and one percent of the bank shares, and I accepted them.”

“You’ve been through such a scare; it’s only right that you receive compensation,” Nie Zhan said, then took a share transfer agreement from his briefcase and continued, “Jiaxin, I failed to manage the relationship with my family properly, and you’ve been caught in this disaster through no fault of your own. These ten percent shares are my compensation to you.”

If it were a gift, Jiaxin would surely refuse, but compensation was a different matter. She took the contract, read it carefully, and then signed her name.

Nie Zhan had not seen her for days and worried that Jiaxin might truly break up with him. He had been agonizing over it. Now that the alarm was lifted, all he wanted was to hold Lu Jiaxin.

Pushing him away with distaste, Lu Jiaxin said, “I’m all sweaty, and you don’t even mind the smell.”

Nie Zhan coaxed her, “No, even your sweat smells sweet.”

Jiaxin felt sticky all over, but it wasn’t good to take a bath immediately after intense exercise; she needed to rest. Hearing his words gave her goosebumps, and she retorted, “You complain about your mom being lovesick, yet look at yourself in the mirror. You’re no better than she is.”

Giving away ten percent of the shares just like that, he guessed Old Master Nie would curse him to death if he found out. But she would hold onto the shares for now. If the two of them got married, the shares would eventually go to their children, but if they parted ways halfway, she would return them to him. Of course, the compensation Old Master Nie gave was strictly to be sold, not returned.

Nie Zhan declared, “If it’s with you, I’m willing to be lovesick.”

Apart from her father, none of the men Nie Manlin got involved with after were any good; all of them depended on her support. Jiaxin was different; since they’d been dating, his net worth had more than doubled, and even Grandpa thought she brought good fortune to him.
