Lu Jiaxin not only wants to sell part of her properties, but she’s also planning to clear out all the stocks she has on hand. The greenbacks/Japanese Yen exchange rate and the Nikkei Index both expire this month, so she hopes to close them before the deadline.
Su Heyuan said, "What if it’s not a financial disaster?"
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "If it’s not a financial disaster, then it must be a life-threatening one. I’m not going anywhere but the company during this time. If I still get hit, as the saying goes, it’s my fate to face this calamity."
Su Heyuan hesitated a bit.
Lu Jiaxin said, "This is just my guess, but I’ve told you the reason. Whether to sell the stocks or not, you decide."
The properties under Flourishing Real Estate won’t open until the end of July, so they can’t be sold now, but the Nikkei Index and stocks can be let go.
The ambiguous information made it difficult for her to decide, and Su Heyuan said, "Let me think about it."
Lu Jiaxin calling her over this time was obviously not just to promote superstitions; she also had something to discuss: "I want to release Legally Blonde in the Mainland, but it hasn’t passed the film bureau’s review. They said the film’s female protagonist is scantily clad. You’ve seen the movie, it’s all normal attire."
"Did you ask my uncle?"
Lu Jiaxin was not planning to ask Xie Kaixiao: "It’s just a film import, asking your uncle would be using a cleaver to kill a chicken."
Besides, Xie Kaixiao doesn’t manage that area, asking for his help would require going through multiple channels, which is against her intention for such a trivial matter.
Su Heyuan understood, she wanted him to help: "You’re asking the right person. I have a buddy whose uncle is a leader in the film bureau. But the Mainland is still rather conservative, those revealing outfits, see if they can be cut."
Lu Jiaxin helplessly said, "If they could be cut, I wouldn’t need to ask you for help. Those scenes are important, if they’re cut, the film’s intention will be gone, and the effect greatly reduced. Here’s the plan, let your buddy watch the completed film first, if he also thinks they need to be cut, then cut them!"
Su Heyuan laughed and said, "Wanjia Film and Television has been quite active recently, what, planning to really get into it instead of just for fun?"
Lu Jiaxin laughed and said, "Wanjia Film and Television made a profit of one hundred million last year. Managed well, its profits won’t be any worse than Green Forest. Tell your friend, there might be a chance for cooperation in the future."
Su Heyuan shook his head and said, "Shooting TV dramas and films in the Mainland doesn’t make money, he wouldn’t be interested. But your company is involved in many industries, opportunities for collaboration might come up."
Lu Jiaxin realized, that included Nie Zhan. But since her relationship with Nie Zhan was stable and they were planning to get engaged, it made sense that people would think so, after all, husband and wife are a unit!
Su Heyuan brought up Lu Hongjun again: "Jiaxin, Heming returned to the Forty-nine City a few days ago, and called me yesterday and said your dad now moved to live with your nephew."
Then, he asked in confusion, "If he doesn’t want to live with that woman, he should get a divorce. Not divorcing, letting the woman live in the house you bought, while he ran off to live with your nephew, what is that all about?"
Lu Jiaxin sneered, "He wants a divorce, but Tang Sufen doesn’t agree. Finally found a cash cow, how could she let go so easily. I can’t manage it and don’t want to, let them be!"
"You’ll just let them live in your house?"
Lu Jiaxin laughed and said, "I promised to buy a house for his retirement, whether he lives there himself or someone else does or it stays empty, I won’t interfere. But once he’s divorced or passes away, I’m going to deal with the house."
Su Heyuan sighed, "You’re too kind, if it were me, I’d go back right away and kick that family out."
Lu Jiaxin shook her head and explained, "It’s not kindness, I just don’t want to deal with this crap. Besides, if I’m not mistaken, my dad wants to come to Hong Kong, to live like my Aunt did. Even if he asks, it won’t go his way, but it’d still affect my mood."
After doing so many harmful things to the original self, he still expects her to bring him to Hong Kong to be Keep reading on NovelHub - where stories come alive!
By eight o’clock, Nie Zhan returned, and not wanting to be a third wheel, Su Heyuan left. For his safety, Lu Jiaxin had Zong Jinghua and Wang Lin escort him.
Nie Zhan went back to accompany Old Master Nie, ate with him, walked and chatted, not leaving until the old master went to bed. Seeing his grandfather’s gray hair, he felt quite uneasy.
After taking off his tie, Nie Zhan asked, "What did Su Heyuan come for today?"
"Let’s talk in the study."
Once in the study, Lu Jiaxin closed the door and said, "I’m planning to sell the Diligen luxury houses and some high-end residential and apartments. Su Heyuan always thinks I’m lucky, and asked me to include him whenever I make any moves, so I called him to discuss this."
Nie Zhan said with a strange expression, "Just because your right eyelid keeps twitching, you’re going to sell two buildings of Diligen?"
Before, Lu Jiaxin couldn’t bear to sell them, insisting they’d definitely appreciate, and when he suggested converting assets, she’d given him attitude for two days! Now she wants to sell them because of a twitching eyelid, how mystical it seems!
Lu Jiaxin retorted, "Didn’t you previously want me to sell the Diligen project? Why are you unhappy when I’m looking to sell now?"
Nie Zhan helplessly said, "Don’t you think, you’re being quite capricious about this?"
Lu Jiaxin smiled, "Selling two floors of Diligen now also nets a profit of more than fifty percent; the high-end residential and apartments I’m planning to sell also gain more than fifty percent. Ah Zhan, do you think this is childish?"
Nie Zhan found himself speechless.
Lu Jiaxin mentioned the stocks and Nikkei Index: "Over the past six months, greenbacks/yen foreign exchange and the Nikkei Index have earned me quite a sum. I’ll leave this money parked in the account, once my disaster’s over, I’ll decide whether to buy land or make other investments."
Nie Zhan thought this arrangement was good.
Lu Jiaxin said, "Isn’t Wansheng Real Estate having a property launch next month? Change the launch date to this month, and use the guise of an event to give out some small gifts."
Seeing him look at her, Lu Jiaxin explained, "I’m worried my bad luck might affect you. Ah Zhan, moving the launch to this month doesn’t cost you anything."
Nie Zhan found her latter statement reasonable, so he said, "Now that housing prices change daily and people are scrambling like mad, there’s no need for events to attract buyers."
"But just this once, it can’t happen again. Moving the launch date forward disrupts all original plans and adds to the staff’s workload."
Lu Jiaxin laughed and said, "You can give them extra bonuses this month."
Given the unique situation, it’s not something that would happen often. It’s proper to pay additional compensation for added work, so the staff won’t have grievances.
Nie Zhan nodded in agreement. The reason he agreed so quickly was because last time, when Jiaxin invested heavily, she said twitching in the left eye brings wealth. Now with the right eye twitching, it might mean financial loss, and if this turns out to be true, he’d listen to her should similar situations arise in the future.
