Chapter 501: Chapter 489: Making the Entertainnt News Again Chapter 501: Chapter 489: Making the Entertainnt News Again Xinxin Real Estate acquired many quality properties and also bought land, and now they are even participating in the land bidding in Tsim Sha Tsui.
In a city like Hong Kong where information is so readily available, any secret can be uncovered if one is determined enough to dig. Soon, the news of Lu Jiaxin making a fortune by short selling the Hang Seng Index hit the entertainnt news. Financial magazines are very rigorous, and they would not publish without solid evidence, as that would undermine their authority. As for entertainnt magazines, it doesn’t really matter how they write; taking them seriously ans you’ve already lost.
After finishing the eting, Nie Zhan was visited by Wang Yadan, who gave him an entertainnt newspaper. On it was the headline “Mainland girl leaps to beco Hong Kong’s richest woman,” accompanied by a photo of Lu Jiaxin.
After glancing at the magazine, Nie Zhan asked Wang Yadan to leave.
Wang Yadan didn’t leave, but instead said to him, “Boss, you need to clarify this, otherwise it could put Miss Lu in danger.”
Entertainnt magazines in Hong Kong like to create buzz for sales. For people like them, it’s just sothing to laugh at, but so might take it seriously. Kidnappings are common in Hong Kong, and Miss Lu herself had a close call a few months ago, so she felt this should be taken seriously.
Nie Zhan understood her good intention but shook his head and said, “It’s all fabrication. If we clarify it on our end, they will definitely take the opportunity to make a big fuss about it.”
The main issue is that Lu Jiaxin’s matter can’t withstand scrutiny. Ignoring it, many people will think it’s an exaggeration; if a lawyer goes to warn them, and if that entertainnt company decides to be troubleso, it might backfire. Thus, letting it be was the best option.
Wang Yadan felt his attitude was problematic, but he was the boss, so she didn’t dare to say much. However, during the lunch break, she called the Lu Family Mansion.
The housekeeper said that Lu Jiaxin had already gone abroad for a trip and would not be able to return anyti soon. It was then that Wang Yadan realized that she had misunderstood Nie Zhan; he had anticipated the danger and had Lu Jiaxin go overseas to lay low.
But then she thought sothing wasn’t right. The entertainnt newspaper only published the story today, and the boss was not a magazine editor, nor could he predict the future. Could it be that the newspaper told the truth, and Miss Lu really did make a huge profit in the stock market?
The more Wang Yadan thought about it, the more she believed it to be true. Miss Lu was incredibly impressive. But the title of Hong Kong’s richest woman, that should be taken with a pinch of salt—it’s unlikely.
We are not in the era of social dia yet, and many people read entertainnt newspapers. Most don’t believe what’s written, but there are also so who believe in getting sothing for nothing. However, with the previous kidnapping incident, where Gu Wenfeng and Wang Lin fought desperately to protect her and killed five kidnappers, these people would not act rashly.
Shi Xinyu was excited after reading the report and imdiately called Zong Shing, “Sister Shing, have you seen today’s entertainnt newspaper? It says that Sister Xin short sold the Hang Seng Index and made five or six billion, and now she is our Hong Kong’s richest woman.”
Zong Shing hadn’t seen the report; her body had not fully recovered, and she didn’t have that much energy. She said sowhat helplessly, “Are you silly? It’s made up by the entertainnt newspaper; how could you believe it?”
“But the way it’s written seems so real, as if it’s true.”
Zong Shing was speechless. Believing a gossip magazine was so naive. “Yes, Jiaxin did make a lot of money from the stock market by short selling the Hang Seng Index, but not that much, probably around two billion or so!”
That was her speculation; she wouldn’t ask or inquire about the specifics, as there was no need. As long as the money was earned legally and properly, it was all due to Jiaxin’s own ability.
“Only two billion? It should be more than that, right?”
Zong Shing laughed and asked, “Xinyu, how many billions do you have?”
From what she knew, the combined wealth of Shi Xinyu’s branch of the family didn’t even reach two billion.
Shi Xinyu instantly deflated, her voice growing softer, “Sister Shing, I’m sorry, my entire net worth combined doesn’t even match one decimal of Jiaxin’s.”
Zong Shing laughed and said, “Neither do I. There’s only one legendary figure like Jiaxin in the whole of Hong Kong, so it’s normal not to be able to compare with her.”
Her own assets totaled a little over twenty million, and then she used eight million to play the stock market and earned over fourteen million, now having forty million in total. She couldn’t compare to Jiaxin, but she was very content.
Shi Xinyu gave a grunt and then started to complain, “Who knows where Jiaxin has gone traveling to? She didn’t even tell ; I would have joined her if she had told in advance.”
Zong Shing felt that Shi Xinyu’s unguarded talk during casual get-togethers was manageable, but listening to her thoughtless words all day on a trip would likely capsize the boat of friendship quickly.
Zong Shing sincerely suggested, “Why don’t you wait until Tao Yong has so ti and go traveling with him?”
Shi Xinyu’s mood worsened, “Tao Yong lost a lot of money this ti, he’s in a bad mood, and I’m trying every day to cheer him up. As for traveling, we’ll have to wait until he’s in a better mood.”
Zong Shing praised her for this approach and added, “Business has its ups and downs, Tao Yong is young and can handle it.”
After acknowledging this Shi Xinyu asked, “Sister Shing, what do you think Jiaxin is doing right now? Is she lying on a beach, gazing at the azure sea and blue sky with a blond hunk by her side?”
The subject changed too abruptly for Zong Shing to follow.
Lu Jiaxin, the subject of the two won’s conversation, was at that mont panting heavily as she sat on a large rock. The view was stunning, but it was truly exhausting! And once she had finished with the Five Great Mountains, she planned to visit Huangshan Mountain, Lushan Mountain, and others she had wanted to see in her previous life but never had the chance.
Miao Na took out her cara and captured Lu Jiaxin’s breathless state. The first ti she had secretly photographed her she had been worried about being scolded, but instead of scolding, Jiaxin had praised her and even asked her to take more pictures.
Lu Jiaxin believed that photos didn’t always have to be pretty; it was fine to capture monts of dishevelnt, fatigue, or grievance as keepsakes. When looking back at them in the future, the mories of what happened during those monts would spring vividly to mind.
At night, the group spent the night on the summit of Mount Song. In November, the mountaintop was chillingly cold co evening. Even the military coats they brought did little to keep the cold at bay. However, this was no problem for the group, accustod to outdoor training. Yan Yijun and Li Qing soon found a small cave, cleaned it up, spread anti-insect powder, and finally lit a fire.
The cave, shielded from the howling winds and being of modest size, ward up quickly with the fire. After eating her fill, Lu Jiaxin crawled into her tent to sleep, while the six bodyguards took turns standing watch in pairs.
Hearing the soft snoring coming from the tent, Miao Na chuckled. The boss was truly exhausted.
Li Qing poked the fire and added a few more logs before saying, “The rumors in Hong Kong about our boss must be flying high right about now.”
Miao Na and the others nodded in agreent. Although they didn’t know exactly how much money their boss had made this ti, they were certain it was a substantial amount. The boss was so incredible, making money while others lost it, becoming Hong Kong’s richest woman was just a matter of ti.
Yan Yijun said worriedly, “There’s a saying that ‘the bigger the tree, the stronger the wind’. From now on, we need to be even more vigilant when we step out.”
The numbers were still too few, but the boss had ntioned they were already recruiting more people. Hopefully, these recruits would arrive soon.
