Chapter 572: Chapter 555: Zong Shing’s Gratitude
Lu Jiaxin watched the news for a while before returning to her room to write a screenplay. She was writing the screenplay for “Gambling God 2”.
In her previous life, “Gambling God 2” had taken several years to co out, which showed that the screenplay had been polished for a long ti. She couldn’t trust Wang Sanri to produce a script that quickly.
A good screenplay needs both a skilled director and capable actors to make a film worth watching. Otherwise, even with a high-level director and talented actors, the film could still be a flop. She didn’t want to ruin a classic movie because of her own actions.
Since she was rely transcribing what was in her mory, the process was quick. She had written half of it two days before, and today she planned to finish it, and then ponder over the sequel to “Legally Blonde”. Sigh, handwriting is too slow. She really missed her laptop. There was a typewriter installed at ho, but she wasn’t used to it, and it was hard on her hands.
When dinner ti arrived, Lu Jiaxin washed her face and went out.
The dinner dishes were half what Lu Jiaxin liked and half what Zong Shing liked. Hosting a guest would of course call for the highest standard, and the chefs had been brought in from top hotels. They could skimp on anything but the quality of the food.
After dinner, the two of them took a walk around the estate. When they got to the back garden and saw the colorful array of flowers, Zong Shing was thoroughly enamored. She said, “Jiaxin, in a few days, I want to bring the three kids to stay here for a while.”
Lu Jiaxin replied with a smile, “Of course you can! If you’re bringing the kids, I’ll have the second compound cleaned up for you and the kids to stay in.”
Currently, Zong Shing was staying in the west wing of Jiaxin’s compound. The room was decorated in an antique style. Jiaxin had thought that Shing, having grown up in Hong Kong and studied abroad for four years, would prefer Western things, but she was surprised to see that Shing also appreciated Eastern culture.
Zong Shing didn’t stand on ceremony with her, “All right, I’ll bring the kids over in half a month.”
Lu Jiaxin said, “I spoke with Ah Zhan on the phone. She told to persuade you properly, saying that getting too angry is harmful to your health. Sister Shing, there’s no use dwelling on what has happened. If you’ve been wronged, you should seek to rectify it.”
Seeing Zong Shing looking at her, Lu Jiaxin added with a smile, “I told him you’re very fond of my estate, and that if your brother-in-law could buy a set for you, it would improve your mood. Ah Zhan just happens to have made dinner plans with your husband tonight and said he would pass on the ssage. If your husband has the intention, he’ll take the initiative to buy it for you. If he doesn’t ntion it, then just take good care of the kids.”
Zong Shing never considered divorce, and Hu Zhifeng wouldn’t either. There were many factors involved, including interests, family, and children.
Lu Jiaxin had never expressed her opinion about Hu Zhifeng finding other won outside their marriage because that was the way of life in Hong Kong; few wealthy n were faithful. In this aspect, Hu Zhifeng was actually considered decent. Although he had mistresses, he knew his wife and children were more important and he gave Sister Shing respect and dignity. So n, after becoming successful, were utterly unbearable to look at.
Zong Shing, gripping Lu Jiaxin’s hand, said with deep emotion, “Sister, thank you.”
Her husband had many friends, but Nie Zhan was certainly one of his most relied upon and trusted friends. However, she was also aware that if it weren’t for Jiaxin, Nie Zhan wouldn’t have taken the extra step.
Lu Jiaxin replied with a smile, “What’s there to thank for? But a residence like this one in the Forty-nine City, one needs to have the right connections to buy it. By the way, rember to use greenbacks for the transaction when the ti cos, they’re most popular in the Forty-nine City.”
Zong Shing was not surprised; not only within the country, but abroad as well, many people preferred greenbacks, the hard currency.
The next day at 5:30 am, Lu Jiaxin took Zong Shing for a circuit around Houhai. It was supposed to be running, but it was more like walking since Shing couldn’t run.
After breakfast, Lu Jiaxin took Zong Shing to The Forbidden City. They had found a knowledgeable guide in advance. The guide was so capable that not only was Shing engrossed, but even Lu Jiaxin, who had been there twice before, was fascinated.
By the ti they finished visiting The Forbidden City, it was already past 1 pm, and Lu Jiaxin returned ho with Zong Shing without going out again. It was too hot. Staying at ho to write her screenplay and watch TV was more comfortable.
In the following days, Lu Jiaxin took Zong Shing to visit Zhongbo, the morial museums, the Old Sumr Palace, the Sumr Palace, and also wandered through several parks.
Due to the scorching sumr heat, Lu Jiaxin only went sightseeing in the morning and then holed up at ho in the afternoon. She could endure the morning heat, but by afternoon she couldn’t take it anymore. However, Badaling was quite far from the city center, and getting there in the early morning ant dealing with the intense sun.
Lu Jiaxin arrived after four in the morning, stayed overnight at the foot of the Great Wall, and then took Zong Shing up the Great Wall at five the next morning. They listened to the explanations, climbed a bit, took so photos, and returned to the base of the Great Wall by noon.
The group casually grabbed so food at a local restaurant before heading ho. In the car, Zong Shing touched her face and said with a smile, “I’ve been running around outside these days; I must have gotten quite a tan.”
Lu Jiaxin pointed to her own face and replied, “Could you be darker than ? I’ve been out in the sun for most of the past month and have beco a Black Sister. But it doesn’t matter, having fun is what’s most important.”
That said, as soon as she got ho, she imdiately took out a face mask and did it together with Zong Shing. Seeing the naless mask, Zong Shing asked, “What brand is this face mask?”
Lu Jiaxin replied with a smile, “This is called Jade Skin Ointnt; it’s made according to an ancient formula, and they say with consistent use, there will be surprises.”
Zong Shing’s eyes almost popped out, “How dare you use sothing like this?”
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, “I only used it after getting people to test it and making sure it was safe. I’ve been out and about recently, and my face often feels painfully hot from the sun, but this ointnt is really soothing.”
Zong Shing was too cautious to use it, saying she had sensitive skin.
Lu Jiaxin didn’t mind. She went into the bathroom, washed her face clean and then applied the Jade Skin Ointnt. She lay down on the rocking chair, and it was so comfortable that she nearly fell asleep.
Zong Shing also applied a face mask, using the best one available on the market. After Lu Jiaxin finished washing her face, Zong Shing looked at her closely and remarked, “Why do I feel like your skin looks brighter after using that mask?”
Lu Jiaxin exclaid, “Really? I hadn’t noticed.”
She knew the mask made her skin smoother, which she could feel with her hand, but she couldn’t see the brightness by herself in the mirror.
“Sister Shing, when I get back, I’ll send you the mask’s test report. If the ingredients suit you, you can try it out. I guarantee you won’t regret it.”
People with sensitive skin are very particular about skincare and makeup products; rash use can easily ruin their skin, so they need tests to be sure before using them.
Seeing Lu Jiaxin’s high praise, Zong Shing nodded and laughed in agreent, “What, are you planning to enter the costics industry now?”
Lu Jiaxin nodded, “I was originally planning to buy a real estate company to manage, but then I found that real estate, hotels, and communications aren’t my forte and quite taxing. Clothing, jewelry, and costics perfu, on the other hand, feel right up my alley.”
“Ah Zhan and I have already agreed that from now on, I’ll manage the companies related to clothing, jewelry, costics, perfu, as well as film and television, while he’ll handle the other industries that I’m not good at.”
Zong Shing thought that seed like a good arrangent.
