Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire
Chapter 390 - Chapter 390 Chapter 379 Faking Fraudulence

Chapter 390: Chapter 379: Faking Fraudulence Chapter 390: Chapter 379: Faking Fraudulence Lu Jiaxin only knew that Nie Manlin was infatuated with love, but she didn’t realize that she also had a bad relationship with Old Master Nie, “Isn’t she supposed to be recuperating in the hospital? How could she still upset your grandfather?”

Nie Zhan fell silent for a moment and then spoke, “My mom is the kind of person who feels like she can’t live without love. Once she’s better, she’ll quickly move on to the next relationship. My grandfather is more of a traditionalist, so…”

With differing beliefs, conflict was inevitable. Old Master Nie’s health couldn’t withstand such shocks.

Lu Jiaxin knew that people like this usually lacked love, lacked the security of parental love, and therefore, as adults, sought to fulfill their emotional needs from their partners.

Nie Manli was a very traditional woman, whereas Nie Manlin couldn’t live without love.

Curiously, Lu Jiaxin asked, “Ah Zhan, your aunt seems like a woman from feudal times, so why is your mom so, so different?”

Nie Zhan said with a wry smile, “My aunt was raised solely by my great-grandmother, and she received a traditional education. My mom was brought up by my grandmother, but after giving birth to her, my grandmother was not in good health, so it was mainly nannies who took care of her.”

Before Lu Jiaxin could ask, he continued, “At that time, besides my aunt and mom, my grandfather had two sons outside, so he didn’t care much if they turned out to be good-for-nothings. Unfortunately, one of the sons drowned, and the other contracted a rare disease with no cure. He himself survived a car accident by sheer luck, but he lost the ability to have more children. By that time, my aunt was already seventeen, and my mom was fifteen; he realized neither were cut out for business. With no other choice, he had my aunt marry in, and then focused on training my elder brother.”

Lu Jiaxin thought Nie Manli and Nie Manlin were relatively fortunate. After all, their father had always been around; otherwise, with their temperaments, they would have been devoured by life. Now, Old Master Nie was getting on in years and not in the best of health, but both their sons had already become self-sufficient.

“The weather is nice today; let’s go out for a walk!”

Lu Jiaxin occasionally went for a run, so she knew a trail with the best environment. Once outside, Nie Zhan naturally took Lu Jiaxin’s hand.

As they walked along the shady path and talked, Nie Zhan said, “Su Heyuan is planning to buy a listed real estate company, did you know that?”

Lu Jiaxin laughed and replied, “I know, he invited me to partner with him, but I turned him down. I might invest in the future, but not as a partner–that can easily lead to conflicts.”

Nie Zhan stopped and looked at her, asking, “I remember you once said you wanted to get into the real estate business? Real estate can be quite profitable, but it’s a complicated field. If you’re really interested, you can buy shares in Wansheng and become a shareholder.”

Lu Jiaxin could not help but look up at him and said with a smile, “Why would I buy shares in Wansheng?”

Nie Zhan replied frankly, “I know you actually only like fashion and are not particularly interested in other businesses. If you become the second-largest shareholder of Wansheng, I will strive to grow the company. The result will be the same.”

Lu Jiaxin tilted her head and looked at him with a smile, “Do you know what result I want?”

Without a second thought, Nie Zhan said, “You want to make money, a lot of money, so you can do whatever you want. Jiaxin, let’s make money together, so you don’t have to work so hard.”

Lu Jiaxin cheerfully agreed, “Sure, when I get my money out of foreign exchange, I’ll buy some of your company’s public shares.”

Nie Zhan said, “I can also sell you five percent of the shares.”

He didn’t say he would give them to her, knowing Lu Jiaxin wouldn’t want them.

Feeling sweet inside, Lu Jiaxin nevertheless declined, “No need, I’ll buy some when a shareholder wants to sell.”

Next year’s stock market crash will be a perfect opportunity to make a big profit before buying in. For now, buying small amounts is enough. However, becoming a shareholder in Wansheng won’t conflict with her own plan to run a real estate company in the future. The most urgent matter at hand is to increase personnel.

“That’s also fine.”

The two were affectionate until nightfall, when Lu Jiaxin said, “You should go back now.”

Nie Zhan was somewhat tired and hugged her, indicating he didn’t want to go back and would stay over for the night.

Lu Jiaxin’s heartbeat quickened, but reason prevailed, and she pushed him away and said, “You should hurry back, I need to go to class tomorrow morning!”

Nie Zhan initially was taken aback by her flushed face, then realizing what she was thinking, he held back a laugh and explained, “What are you thinking? I’m just too tired and want to rest early.”

As a normal man, holding his girlfriend often gave rise to certain thoughts, but he felt Lu Jiaxin was still naive, so he had always restrained himself. But having sat on a plane for so long today, and then visited the old house, he really didn’t have those thoughts.

Lu Jiaxin, flushed and annoyed, said, “There are no rooms left here, you should hurry back.”

After saying that, she turned and stomped upstairs, causing Nie Zhan to laugh heartily. In her room, Lu Jiaxin still felt her face burning. She covered her face, flopped down on the bed, and wailed, wondering why she’d let her guard down today when she had resolved not to take the initiative!

The next day when she woke up, Lu Jiaxin was about to get out of bed when the phone rang. The phone in her room had a separate number, known only to those very close to her.

As soon as she picked up the phone, she heard Nie Zhan’s deep voice, “Jiaxin, are you up yet?”

“I was just about to get up. Why are you calling so early?”

Nie Zhan chuckled and said, “I dreamed about you last night and couldn’t go back to sleep after waking up. I’ll pick you up after work, and we’ll go have dinner at Feng Qinglei’s place.”

Lu Jiaxin inwardly declared that it must not have been a decent dream, otherwise, he wouldn’t have lost sleep, “I’m busy tonight, but I can make it after class on Friday.”

“Then let’s go play golf on Saturday. I’ll invite a few friends too.”

Lu Jiaxin didn’t even want to bother commenting. Plans that were made often had to be cancelled due to sudden changes, “You’d better wait and see if you can actually make it on that day before committing!”

In the afternoon after school, Gu Wenfeng spoke to her, “Boss, a customer who bought a gold bracelet from He’s Jewelry found it to be fake; it’s just plated with gold on the surface. The customer went to He’s Jewelry for an explanation, but they denied responsibility, and the media has already exposed the incident.”

Lu Jiaxin was somewhat surprised, “We had it checked, and nothing turned up.”

She suspected that someone like He Zhuliang wouldn’t honestly run his business, so she had hired a private detective to investigate. To her surprise, the private detective hadn’t found anything.

Gu Wenfeng said, “The private detective we hired is very capable, otherwise, he wouldn’t have found out about Ye Xin’s issues so quickly.”

Lu Jiaxin understood what he was implying, and smiling, she said, “Whether the private detective wasn’t effective and didn’t find evidence, or He’s Jewelry has been framed, He’s Jewelry won’t escape this time.”

Nobody who knew of He Zhuliang’s actions would want to help. With He’s Jewelry going bankrupt, the He Family’s days of glory and wealth were over, and He Zhuliang had nothing left to hope for, which was just fine.
