Chapter 487: Chapter 475: Daily Life Chapter 487: Chapter 475: Daily Life On Saturday, Lu Jiaxin went to an exhibition, and on Sunday, she joined Nie Zhan at the Discovery Bay Golf Club. In the car, she remembered something, “I’ve heard that the Shek O Country Club is quite fun. Once our company has grown, we should also apply for membership there.”
Even in her previous life as a mere office worker, she had heard that membership at the Shek O Country Club was only for the rich and prestigious. After dating Nie Zhan, she learned that to become a member of the Shek O Country Club, one had to own property in designated areas of Shek O or be the CEO of an international company, and then go through a strict process to apply for membership.
She never dared to dream about it before, but after the stock market crash, she was sure their company would grow significantly, and by then, they would qualify to apply. Hmm, after the stock market crash, she could let Nie Zhan buy a villa in Shek O.
Shek O villas were not just something one could buy on a whim; they were reserved for those with an illustrious reputation and no negative news or legal issues. She was innocent in terms of her wealth but didn’t have a prominent enough reputation–yet.
Nie Zhan said with a smile, “I’ve already applied, and I’m waiting for approval. Once I’m a member, I’ll take you there whenever you want to go.”
Lu Jiaxin said, “In a few years, when I’m the boss of a big conglomerate myself, I’ll apply too, and you can vouch for me then.”
Nie Zhan, with a smile all over his face, said, “I’m looking forward to that day.”
When they arrived at the golf course, Lu Jiaxin couldn’t help but smile upon seeing Zong Shimeng, “Sister Shimeng, you and your husband are really matching in your outfits today.”
Both were dressed in black and white sportswear. Hu Zhifeng’s figure was well-maintained, while Zong Shimeng wasn’t fat, just a bit plump.
Everyone loved to hear compliments, and Zong Shimeng replied with a cheerful smile, “We can’t compare to you and Nie Zhan, talented man and beautiful woman, walking together is a pleasing sight for us.”
After complimenting each other, Zong Shimeng said happily, “I’ve sold all my stocks. It’s good that I sold them, saves me from worrying about stock price falls and sleeping and eating poorly.”
Lu Jiaxin was quite pleased that she took her advice, “Right, ever since I sold all my stocks, I don’t have to think about it anymore, and now I can enjoy my meals.”
Shi Xinyu came over and saw the two women chatting, “Sister Shimeng, Jiaxin, what are you talking about?”
Lu Jiaxin looked at her and said, “Sister Shimeng was just telling me that she sold her stocks too. Sister Xinyu, what about you? Have you sold yours?”
Shi Xinyu said somewhat sheepishly, “I thought they would go up, so I only sold a third.”
Lu Jiaxin felt a pang of regret, for she had warned them, yet Shi Xinyu had not sold out completely. To avoid souring the mood, she smiled and changed the topic.
Zong Shimeng and Shi Xinyu didn’t come to play golf but to enjoy chatting and catching up with each other.
While Lu Jiaxin got along well with Shi Xinyu, as they could meet up on weekends, Zong Shimeng’s outings would be more remarked upon if they became frequent by her mother-in-law and great-grandmother-in-law. But when Hu Zhifeng took her out, Madam Hu and Old Lady Hu wouldn’t say much. After all, a man needs his wife for socializing.
At this moment, the three men were also discussing stocks. Tao Yong believed the stock prices would continue to rise, his belief based on the continuous increase of the Dow Jones Index on Wall Street.
Nie Zhan thought of the four hundred million greenbacks Lu Jiaxin used to short the Dow Jones Index, and then, he had added another fifty million. He silently swung a golf club and, hmm, not bad, it went into the hole.
But Hu Zhifeng asked, “Nie Zhan, your girlfriend mentioned you’ve liquidated your stocks; did you receive some inside information?”
Nie Zhan shook his head and said, “I just felt the stock market was overheated and was feeling uneasy, so I sold all my stocks. Jiaxin bought quite a lot too, so I advised her to sell as well.”
Before they could ask more, Nie Zhan continued, “However, I did hear that the ‘Stock God’ has sold all his stocks this week.”
If Hu Zhifeng hadn’t asked, he wouldn’t have taken the initiative to say anything, but since he had asked, it wouldn’t be good to keep hiding it anymore. It was up to him to decide what to do.
Tao Yong was very surprised, “What did you say? The stock god is going to sell off all his stocks this week? Is he not optimistic about the New York Stock Market?”
Nie Zhan sincerely said, “Not only the American stock market, but the Hong Kong stock market is also overheated.”
Hu Zhifeng’s smile didn’t waver. He didn’t mention that he had sold off half of his stocks. Even if he hadn’t, it wouldn’t affect him. The stocks he bought were all from companies with prospects, so he wasn’t afraid of a fall; they would surely go up again in the future.
However, Tao Yong was somewhat anxious and planned to sell all his stocks as soon as the market opened the next day. Why would the stock god run? There must be danger he had sensed. He didn’t doubt Nie Zhan’s words; a friend of many years wouldn’t deceive him.
As they were talking, Nie Zhan saw Fu Ye arrive with his fiancee, “Brother Feng, why didn’t you tell me you invited Fu Ye to come?”
Hu Zhifeng heard the tone of his voice and explained, “He called me yesterday to invite me for a meal, so I told him I had arranged to play golf with you today and invited him to join.”
Nie Zhan said, “Jiaxin is close with Yu Meitong, treating her like a sister. If Miss Chen says something unpleasant later, I’m afraid the scene might not look good.”
It was mainly because he had met this Miss Chen at the engagement banquet last time and felt she was not good at speaking. He didn’t understand why Fu Ye would choose someone like her.
After the kidnapping incident, Hu Zhifeng and Tao Yong both knew that Lu Jiaxin had a fiery temper. But she had the right to do so, and there was nothing to be said about it.
Hu Zhifeng said with a smile, “It won’t happen, your sister-in-law is here!”
Lu Jiaxin didn’t like Fu Ye, so she wouldn’t take her anger out on others. Therefore, when she met Miss Chen Weiwei, she still greeted her politely.
But after sitting down and chatting for a bit, Chen Weiwei shyly said, “Ye and I have known each other since we were sixteen. He was my first love, but we broke up when he went abroad to study.”
Lu Jiaxin picked up her drink and slowly began to sip.
Shi Xinyu frowned involuntarily. What did that mean? Implying that Sister Meitong was a passerby, and she was Fu Ye’s true fate?
Zong Shimeng, being experienced in social situations, said with a smile, “That’s also fate. Miss Chen, I heard that you studied fashion design in college, so you have a lot in common to talk about with Jiaxin.”
Chen Weiwei said with a smile, “Brother Ye told me that Miss Lu is very capable, not only a top student in finance from Hong Kong but also a major shareholder of Five Auspicious Jewelry and Green Aluminum Forest.”
Zong Shimeng was speechless. Why bring up Five Auspicious Jewelry? If it was intentional, then it was too foolish; if it wasn’t intentional, then it was a lack of understanding.
Lu Jiaxin said with a smile, “It’s alright, now I have also accumulated capital, and I plan to establish my own brand after I graduate next year. I wonder, Miss Chen, what are your plans for the future?”
Chen Weiwei said blissfully, “Ye and I will get married at the end of the year. Ye hopes I will focus on family afterward, and I plan to have a baby after the wedding.”
Zhou Yu fighting Huang Gai–one willing to hit, the other willing to be hit. Lu Jiaxin didn’t even try to persuade Yu Meitong back then, let alone say anything to Chen Weiwei, who wasn’t very bright.
Lu Jiaxin said, “Sister Xinyu, let’s go play a round.”
