Chapter 579: Superstitious Lu Jiaxin
Chapter 579: Superstitious Lu Jiaxin
Lu Jiaxin intended to sell off not only a portion of her properties but also liquidate all her stocks. The Green Dollar/Yen exchange rate and the Nikkei Index were both due this month, and she hoped to close out her positions before then.
Su Heyuan asked, "What if it's not a financial disaster?"
Lu Jiaxin smiled and replied, "If it's not about money, then it's a disaster threatening my life. During this period, I won't go anywhere except the company. If something happens even then, according to the old saying, it's my fate to encounter this calamity."
Su Heyuan hesitated.
Lu Jiaxin said, "This is just my speculation, but I've told you my reasons. Whether or not to sell the stocks is up to you."
The property that Yuan Sheng Real Estate had on hand was scheduled to open for sale at the end of July, so it was too late to sell it now. However, she could offload the Nikkei Index and stocks.
The ambiguous information made it difficult for her to decide, and Su Heyuan said, "Let me think about it."
Of course, Lu Jiaxin had not called her over just to spread superstitious beliefs; she also had something to discuss with him. "I want to release 'Legal Beauty' in the mainland, but it hasn't passed the review by the Film and Television Administration. They say the female lead's attire is too revealing. You've seen the movie yourself; the outfits are all normal."
"Haven't you asked my cousin for help?"
Lu Jiaxin had no intention of seeking Xie Kaixiao's assistance. "It's just a movie release. Asking your cousin for help would be like using a butcher's knife to slaughter a chicken—overkill."
The problem was that Xie Kaixiao didn't handle this area, and asking him for help would require going through several detours. It would be overkill to mobilize so many people for such a minor matter, which went against her original intention.
Su Heyuan understood that she wanted him to lend a hand. "You've come to the right person. I have a buddy whose uncle is a big shot in the Film and Television Administration. However, the mainland is still relatively conservative, so see if those revealing outfits can be edited out."
Lu Jiaxin said helplessly, "If they could be cut, I wouldn't have bothered you. Those scenes are crucial to the movie's theme and message. If they're removed, the impact will be greatly diminished. How about this: first, let your friend watch the final cut, and if he also thinks it needs to be edited, then we'll do it."
Su Heyuan smiled and said, "Wan Jia Film and Television has been making some big moves lately. Are you planning to get serious about the business instead of treating it as a hobby?"
Lu Jiaxin smiled back and said, "Wan Jia Film and Television made a profit of 100 million yuan last year. If managed properly, its profits won't be any worse than those of Green Forest. Tell your friend that we can look forward to future cooperation."
Su Heyuan shook his head and said, "Filming TV dramas and movies in the mainland isn't profitable; he won't be interested. But since your company covers many industries, there may be opportunities for collaboration in the future."
Lu Jiaxin knew that this included Nie Zan. However, their relationship was stable, and they were even planning to get engaged soon, so it wasn't wrong for him to think that way—after all, they would be a married couple!
Su Heyuan brought up Lu Hongjun again. "Jiaxin, He Ming returned to Si Jiucheng a few days ago and called me yesterday. He said your dad is now living with your nephew."
After he finished speaking, he asked in confusion, "If he doesn't want to live with that woman, why doesn't he just divorce her? Instead of divorcing her, he lets her live in the house you bought, and he goes to live with your nephew. What's the deal with that?"
Lu Jiaxin scoffed, "He wants to divorce her, but Tang Sufen doesn't agree. It's not easy to find a money tree like him, so of course, she won't let him go easily. I can't be bothered to manage or even think about their affairs. Let them do whatever they want."
"So you're just going to let them live in your house?"
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "I promised to buy a house for him to live in during his old age. Whether he lives there himself, with someone else, or leaves it empty, I won't interfere. But once he divorces or passes away, I'm getting rid of that house."
Su Heyuan sighed, "You're still too kind. If it were me, I would have immediately gone back and kicked that whole family out."
Lu Jiaxin shook her head and explained, "It's not that I'm kind, but that I don't want to deal with such annoying matters. Also, if I'm not mistaken, my father wants to come to Hong Kong and live the life of my aunt. Although he won't get his wish even if he mentions it to me, it will still affect my mood."
After doing so many things that hurt her original body, she still wanted Lu Jiaxin to take her in and support her in Hong Kong, living the life of luxury that her grandfather had. How delusional!
At a little past eight, Nie Zan returned. Su Heyuan didn't want to be a third wheel, so he left. For his safety, Lu Jiaxin asked Zong Jinghua and Wang Lin to see him out.
Nie Zan had returned to his hometown to accompany Elder Nie. After having dinner with him and taking a walk, he only returned after seeing the elder off to bed. Seeing the elderly man with a head full of white hair, Nie Zan felt a sense of heartache.
After taking off his necktie, Nie Zan asked, "Why did Su Heyuan come today?"
"He came to the study," Lu Jiaxin replied.
Once they arrived at the study and Lu Jiaxin had closed the door, she said, "I plan to sell the Dili Genesis mansion and some high-end residences and apartments. Su Heyuan has always felt that I've been lucky, so he reminded me to include him if I ever make any moves. That's why I called him here today."
Nie Zan's expression turned strange. "So, just because your right eyelid has been twitching, you want to sell off the two buildings from the Dili Genesis project?"
Previously, Lu Jiaxin had been reluctant to sell, insisting that the value would definitely increase. Now, after suggesting that he bring the funds back, she had given him the cold shoulder for two days! And now, just because her right eyelid was twitching, she wanted to sell. It all seemed so superstitious!
Lu Jiaxin retorted, "Regarding the Dili Genesis project, didn't you want me to take action earlier? Now that I'm taking action, why aren't you happy about it?"
Nie Zan said helplessly, "Don't you think that what you're doing is a bit too capricious?"
Lu Jiaxin smiled, "By selling the two floors of the Dili Genesis project now, I'm still making a profit of more than 50%. The high-end residences and apartments that I plan to sell will also make a profit of more than 50%. Azhan, do you think this is being capricious?"
Nie Zan had no rebuttal.
Lu Jiaxin then talked about the stocks and the Nikkei Index. "In the past six months, the green dollar/yen exchange rate and the Nikkei Index have earned me a lot of money. I'll leave this money in the account for now and decide whether to buy land or make other investments after my disaster has passed."
Nie Zan thought this arrangement was good.
Lu Jiaxin said, "Wan Sheng Real Estate has a property that's supposed to open next month, right? Change the opening date to this month and give out some small gifts under the pretext of having an event."
Seeing him look at her, Lu Jiaxin said, "I'm afraid that my bad luck will affect you. Azhan, changing the opening date to this month won't cause you any loss."
Nie Zan felt that this made sense, so he agreed. "These days, property prices change daily, and everyone is going crazy trying to snap up properties. We won't need to have an event to attract buyers."
"But just this once. We can't change the dates like this in the future. Advancing the opening date will disrupt all the original plans and increase the workload for the employees."
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "We can give them a higher bonus this month."
This was a special case, and it wouldn't happen every time. As an employer, if you increase the workload for your employees, you should provide corresponding compensation. That way, the employees won't have any complaints.
Nie Zan nodded in agreement. The reason he agreed so quickly was because of what Lu Jiaxin had said about her left eye twitching, indicating financial windfall. Now that her right eye was twitching, it might very well indicate financial loss. If this prediction came true, he would listen to her in the future if something similar happened again.
