Chapter 496: 484 Chapter She is My Friend Chapter 496: 484 Chapter She is My Friend Once inside the private room, Yu itong expressed her gratitude, “Jiaxin, thank you for standing up for , but there was no need to make such a fuss over .”
Ever since she called off her engagent with Fu Ye and fell out with her family, most of the friends she encountered would ridicule her, and she had gotten used to it. It’s impossible to say it didn’t hurt, but she gained so things at the loss of others. She now spent her days fulfilling and was quite happy with her colleagues, unlike before when she would often be so upset that she couldn’t sleep.
Lu Jiaxin replied nonchalantly, “It’s just building materials suppliers; if one goes, we can always switch to another company. Wansheng Real Estate is a well-known brand, and there are plenty of companies that want to cooperate with us.”
It wasn’t like construction contractors, which couldn’t be replaced easily; there were no such worries with building materials suppliers.
Yu itong hugged her, “Jiaxin, you’re so kind.”
After they sat down, Zong Shing said, “Jiaxin, you should still attend so banquets in the future. If you often attend banquets, there wouldn’t be misunderstandings like the one just now.”
Lu Jiaxin laughed, “It doesn’t matter to , I didn’t lose out on anything.”
“Are you going to continue like this in the future?”
Lu Jiaxin said gloomily, “I wish I could! Unfortunately, I can only enjoy this peace until the end of this year. Next year, everyone will have to do internships, and I’ll have to start working too.”
Zong Shing understood what she ant. Once you start working, you inevitably have to socialize and attend various gatherings. She thought having Jiaxin at future etings would make them livelier, but she was proven wrong as Lu Jiaxin never joined her for such gatherings.
Yu itong joked, “Jiaxin, your classmates intern to find a good job, but you’re going straight into the company as the boss.”
Lu Jiaxin laughed, “What do you an intern as the boss? I’ve been managing Green Forest all along. The company’s strategies and developnt directions are all set by , Xu Yue and Susan are just executors.”
Decision-makers can determine the life or death of a company; executors only need to follow orders. Of course, executors in big companies must be capable or they wouldn’t be able to command respect.
Yu itong exclaid, “You’re managing Green Forest yourself? I always thought Mr. Nie was in charge.”
It was mainly because Nie Zhan was managing Five Auspicious Jewelry, and with Jiaxin busy with classes and tutorials, she naturally assud that he was helping out with Green Forest as well.
Lu Jiaxin spread her hands in a helpless gesture, “After I graduate from university, I will even have to manage Five Auspicious Jewelry. I want to travel the world, not manage companies.”
Yu itong said, “There are so many people in the company depending on you for their livelihood, you can’t just drop your responsibilities as the boss!”
She really liked the atmosphere in the design departnt of Five Auspicious Jewelry. As long as you were talented, you would be appreciated, and even if you weren’t managent material, you could still get a raise. Plus, if the company adopted your designs, you would receive a generous bonus.
“Don’t worry, I plan to spread Five Auspicious Jewelry to every corner of Hong Kong!”
After lunch, the four of them continued shopping, but this ti it was to help Zong Shing buy things for her child. Toys, clothes, essentials – with more hands, they found everything in less than an hour.
There was a beauty salon nearby, and Lu Jiaxin, who had a yearly mbership, took all four of them to have a SPA treatnt. Since Zong Shing had to head back, they dispersed after the SPA without having afternoon tea.
On the way ho, Lu Jiaxin called Nie Zhan, “Are there any material suppliers for Wansheng Real Estate with a Boss Jian?”
A big real estate company like Wansheng Real Estate wouldn’t rely on just one material supplier. And this was the reason she felt confident to speak her mind.
Nie Zhan really didn’t know, “What happened?”
Lu Jiaxin told him about being insulted at Good Fortune Here, “I’ve already said that we won’t work with them anymore, so don’t let that woman make a fool of !”
Wansheng Real Estate cooperated with several building material rchants under its umbrella, and Nie Zhan was only in charge of project quality, with the specifics managed by the managers below. He said, “Let check. If that woman’s family company really is our supplier, we will terminate the contract with them.”
Lu Jiaxin hurriedly intervened, saying, “We shouldn’t affect the company’s reputation because of . It’s enough not to renew the contract with them when it expires.”
To back out of a signed contract required the paynt of a penalty for breach, and outsiders would think you lacked integrity and would not trust you, a loss that would not be worth the gain.
“Alright.”
He called in the procurent manager and, after asking, found out they indeed had a cooperation with a building material rchant surnad Jian. Nie Zhan asked, “Is this Boss Jian the one with a daughter nad Jian Weini?”
The procurent manager nodded and replied, “Yes, his younger daughter is called Jian Weini. What’s the matter, boss?”
He had seen Jian Weini before; she was pretty but sowhat arrogant. He had never thought that Nie Zhan would take an interest in Jian Weini because, quite simply, aside from Lu Jiaxin, he had never shown a pleasant face to another woman.
Upon hearing this, Nie Zhan imdiately said, “We will not renew the contract with them after it expires.”
The procurent manager’s expression subtly changed, but seeing that Nie Zhan did not continue, he nodded in agreent. After work, he imdiately called Jian Weini’s father to inform him of the matter.
“Why won’t you renew the contract? How should I know that?” “If you want to know, go ho and ask your younger daughter, she definitely knows why.”
That evening, upon returning ho, Nie Zhan told Lu Jiaxin about the Jian Weini incident, “Don’t worry, I’ve already given the order for them to find a suitable building material rchant.”
“Ah Zhan, thank you!”
Nie Zhan asked curiously, “Why do you want to help Yu itong so much?”
It wasn’t just asking Wansheng to not cooperate with the Jian Family; at Good Fortune Here, she had also stood up for Yu itong and scolded Jian Weini. In his mory, Lu Jiaxin was not such a hot-blooded person.
Lu Jiaxin said, “Because she is my friend! Seeing a friend being humiliated, of course, I wanted to stand up for her if I’m capable.”
Nie Zhan said with a smile, “No wonder your sister-in-law likes you so much, being your friend really is a blessing.”
“Aren’t you blessed?”
“I’m blessed too,” said Nie Zhan. Most of the ti he was happy, but sotis it was quite a headache, and he even worried at tis. Take the shorting of the index, for instance; he really had prepared for the worst.
The next morning, Jian Weini went to Five Auspicious Jewelry to apologize to Yu itong, “itong, I’m sorry, I was talking nonsense yesterday. I hope you won’t hold it against .”
Seeing the clear fingerprint on her face, Yu itong laughed and said, “Is this from being hit? Who hit you, your daddy or your mommy?”
With effort to contain her anger, Jian Weini said, “itong, we’ve known each other for so many years. Please forgive this ti! Whatever you want, I’ll buy it for you, as long as you’re willing to forgive .”
Yu itong chuckled twice and responded, “I lack nothing and certainly don’t need your charity. If you think I’ll speak for you, that’s impossible. You better think of another way!”
Jiaxin was discontinuing the contract with the Jian Family to stand up for her. How could she ask for leniency now?
Jian Weini said, “As long as you’re willing to speak for , I can give you half a million.”
She wasn’t lacking brains, just money. Yu itong sneered and said, “Jian Weini, it doesn’t matter if you offer half a million or even one million, it’s impossible, so just give up on that thought!”
