Chapter 514: Chapter 501 Wealthy Lady Xin_2

He paused for a moment and said, “I heard that when you’re away, your companies have to manage large sums of money through Nie Zhan. Jiaxin, you trust him too much.”

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile, “Nie Zhan is like my personal financial advisor; I let him manage half of my money.”

“You don’t have to worry about him. Nie Zhan is just like you; he thinks that enough money to spend is okay; too much is just a bunch of numbers on a page. If it weren’t for my prodding, he would still be like before, not seeking to make merits but just trying to avoid mistakes.”

When he started managing Wansheng Real Estate, he actually had no big ambitions, feeling that maintaining the status quo was fine. That’s also why the development of Wansheng Real Estate was slow. Now it’s different; he wants to catch up with the top four property developers. With her support, this was bound to happen sooner or later.

Although Lu Jiaxin suggested that he should not take on Wansheng Real Estate, she knew clearly that Nie Zhan would not do so, and Old Master Nie wouldn’t take back his shares either. The reason is simple: Nie Jingwen couldn’t carry this burden, and neither the board of directors nor the shareholders would approve. If they really dared to do so, Wansheng Real Estate would change ownership very soon. In Hong Kong, such things are common.

She said this to advise Nie Zhan to take a step back in order to advance, and to stop the Nie family from complaining all the time. However, she also noticed that while Nie Zhan was impatient with others and wouldn’t indulge them, he was very tolerant of Old Master Nie. She understood, too; feelings are different when grandparents raise one since childhood. But even with deep feelings, if this keeps up, the little affection between grandparents and grandchildren would soon vanish.

“Still, it’s better to be cautious.”

Lu Jiaxin said with a laugh, “He is just managing the funds. The land and properties we’ve stockpiled are all registered under Xinxin Real Estate. If we want to develop them in the future, it will be a collaboration between our two companies. When it comes to finances, we have a clear separation.”

“He takes a 10%-20% commission for managing other people’s money, but with my investments, he doesn’t take any commission and even puts in his own money. I have always been the one getting the better end of the deal.”

Su Heming was a complete hypocrite and nodded in satisfaction, “Very good, you already have the bearing of a capitalist.”

The two chatted as they ate, and it took them two hours to finish their meal. After dinner, they took a walk by the sea to aid digestion. Then, Su Heyuan mentioned that his engagement date with Hu Huihui had been set.

Su Heming said, “It’s on the twenty-sixth of the twelfth lunar month, but the wedding date hasn’t been set. The Hu family isn’t in a hurry; they want to find someone to pick a date after the New Year.”

Thinking of Su Heyuan’s tumultuous love life, Lu Jiaxin couldn’t help but say, “I hope everything goes smoothly this time, so your dad can hold a grandson soon.”

Su Heming started laughing, “My dad was originally worried, but my brother said it would definitely go well this time.”

“Because you are the matchmaker. The previous two didn’t work out because you didn’t approve of them, but this time you’re the matchmaker and you approved, so it will surely go smoothly.”

Lu Jiaxin really wanted to curse; what a bunch of nonsense.

The next day, after returning to Hong Kong, Lu Jiaxin took a bath as soon as she got home and then threw herself onto her bed. Ah, her own bed was the most comfortable.

After sleeping and waking up, Steward Meng told her that Nie Zhan and Su Heyuan had both called. He then handed her a stack of invitations.

Lu Jiaxin had received invitations before, but she had always declined due to her busy schedule with school. But she had never received as many as now; a quick glance revealed there were seven or eight.

This really confirmed the old saying, “When you’re poor in the downtown, no one inquires; rich in the mountains, distant kin ask about you.” She used to not receive a single invitation in a month, but now she had received so many in just over twenty days.

Steward Meng said, “The Elder Madam of Hu Family called earlier; knowing you were not in, she left a message saying that she’ll set up another time when you’re back in Hong Kong.”

Then he briefly filled Lu Jiaxin in on what had happened during her absence.

Lu Jiaxin first returned Nie Zhan’s call: “I’m all good, just very sleepy and took a nap. Can you get off work early today? Let’s go eat French food. I’ve been craving it for a long time.”

Feng Qinglei’s French Restaurant uses the best ingredients, and if she could book in advance, she would be able to eat dishes made from top-tier ingredients.

Nie Zhan was busy at work, but upon hearing her words he laughed and said, “Then I’ll leave work early and come to pick you up.”

Lu Jiaxin didn’t want him to make the round trip, too tiring: “No need, let’s meet at the French Restaurant. You’ve been dealing with so many things lately; you should rest more when you have time.”

“Okay.”

Afterward, Lu Jiaxin called Su Heyuan,

Once the phone connected, Su Heyuan laughed, “Hong Kong’s number one wealthy lady, you’re finally back.”

Lu Jiaxin directly sprayed back, “Have you gone mad? What do you mean my disapproval caused the previous two girlfriends not to work out? What does your breakup with Ye Xin and Bai Jingshu have to do with me?”
