Nie Zhan knew that Lu Jiaxin didn’t like living with Lu Hongjun, so he sent him to Recuperate Hospital. Originally, he thought it was just Ding Jing and her daughter’s matters that made her unhappy. He felt that Lu Hongjun might have been montarily confused and that there’s no need to fuss over it given his age. Unexpectedly, there were so many underlying issues.
Lu Jiaxin didn’t want to keep talking about Lu Hongjun, so she changed the topic: "Ah Zhan, I want to establish a costics company called callia."
"Callia, like the flower Callia? Why choose this na?"
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "The language of flowers for Callias is ’natural beauty,’ and won buy costics hoping to make themselves more beautiful through adornnt."
This flower language was quite apt, Nie Zhan smiled and said, "The Yu Family’s costics company has been operating for over twenty years and has a solid foundation."
Because the market isn’t great now, Yu itong’s family’s costics company hasn’t been sold. Last month, the laboratory delivered good news that they had found substitute materials for several beauty creams recorded in ancient texts. The cost could be reduced by two-thirds, making it promising.
It’s also because Lu Jiaxin had money and was willing to spend it on various experints, costing millions without ever urging them. Fortunately, the results were perfect, and the costs ca down enough for mass production. Otherwise, at the original price, only wealthy socialites could afford it.
Lu Jiaxin said, "The company’s properties are all sold off to immigrate to Australia. Hopefully, they won’t regret it in the future."
The property market hasn’t bounced back yet, so Father Yu selling properties now is a loss. Yu itong tried to persuade him twice, but seeing he wouldn’t listen, she gave up.
This tone implied a certainty that they would regret it later on.
Nie Zhan said, "Everyone has their pursuits. Even though property prices are falling, the funds they recovered are substantial. As long as they don’t squander it, they will live well there."
Lu Jiaxin chuckled and said, "Starting a business in a foreign land ans starting from scratch. Sister itong’s father indeed had vision and capability; otherwise, he wouldn’t have developed a small family workshop into a large company. But he’s getting old and lacks energy, and Sister itong’s two brothers aren’t particularly capable either. I don’t think they’ll make money doing business in Australia. Not just , even Sister itong thinks so, but her family doesn’t listen to her."
This was a mild way of saying it. She felt that these two brothers wouldn’t have an easy ti doing business there. It’s not easy to make a living on soone else’s land. Except for big capitalists, they’re at the pinnacle of the business world.
Nie Zhan laughed and said, "Wansheng Hotel is preparing to acquire two major hotels in Australia. According to what you said, that’s going to be a loss."
Lu Jiaxin’s thoughts were quite the opposite: "With so many people immigrating to Australia, hotels will surely make a profit if managed well. Not just hotels, property prices might also rise."
"Are you suggesting I go to Australia to do real estate developnt?"
This wasn’t impossible either; Lu Jiaxin said they could invest in local real estate companies.
This was a joke; investing in real estate abroad requires prior planning. To jump in blindly would result in losing everything.
As the two were talking, Zong Shing called to ask if they could et up tomorrow for sothing.
Lu Jiaxin had garnt fittings at ho the next morning, so she invited her over.
The couple had three outfits designed for their engagent, all designed by Lu Jiaxin herself. She had tried them on a few days ago, but so parts were unsatisfactory, so they were taken back for alteration. Now they were being delivered again for fitting.
Zong Shing readily agreed, saying, "Alright, I’ll co to your house tomorrow."
Thinking about what she heard from Zong Shing during afternoon tea a few days ago, Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Sister Shing, Nie Zhan told your brother-in-law has been setting aside at least one day each weekend to spend with the kids. Kai Kai and Yinyin are getting closer to their dad than before."
In reality, it wasn’t just play; it was outdoor sports like golf, horse riding, and ice hockey. Hu Kai was not only smart but also athletically inclined. Everyone from his grandmother to his younger siblings liked him very much.
Zong Shing smiled and said, "Yes, now he sets aside at least one day each week to spend with the kids. He even told that when the kids are on holiday, he plans to take them on a family trip abroad, sothing we haven’t done together yet."
No matter what happens in the future, the current Hu Zhifeng seems to have returned to the family, and I just hope he maintains this once the novelty wears off, and doesn’t revert to old ways.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Jiaxin said to Nie Zhan, "There’s a saying, ’He who keeps good company will beco good, he who keeps bad company will beco bad.’ Be a good role model for him, let him learn from you, and family harmony and business will thrive."
Upon hearing this, Nie Zhan couldn’t help but laugh, "I used to advise Brother Feng like this, but he wouldn’t listen. But the other day, we were playing golf, and he suddenly said I was right, that having a harmonious family leads to success in everything. I reckon he’s truly focused this ti."
"That’s great then!"
The next day, Zong Shing ca over early, and upon seeing the three designed outfits, she exclaid at how beautiful they were, "It’s a pity I didn’t know you before my wedding, otherwise I would have asked you to design my wedding dress and gowns."
After saying that, she couldn’t help but think of Shi Xinyu. The dress Lu Jiaxin designed for her back then ended up being sold at the store.
It had been a long ti since Lu Jiaxin had heard anything about Shi Xinyu, mainly because she hadn’t paid attention: "Sister Shing, is she doing well?"
Zong Shing had a friend, whose cousin was Shi Xinyu’s sister-in-law, so she knew a bit: "Not very well. I heard that right after they got married, the couple was really loving, but after Shi Xinyu got pregnant, they started fighting often. Last month, not long after Shi Xinyu gave birth, the guy went on a business trip abroad. Turns out it wasn’t a business trip at all, but a vacation with friends."
In a past life, Lu Jiaxin had heard of a daughter-in-law resting during her confinent period, with the mother-in-law traveling instead of caring for her. But honestly, if you co to terms with it, there’s nothing really to be angry about. After all, if you do this, I’ll respond in kind. When you get old and face illnesses or troubles, don’t expect to be there—find soone else.
Zong Shing sighed and said, "I heard the Shi family wants her to divorce that man. Ah, if only she hadn’t broken up with Tao Yong back then, things would be so much better."
But Lu Jiaxin disagreed, "With her personality, even if she married Tao Yong, they’d argue every day. Constant fighting negatively affects a relationship, and Tao Yong’s career wouldn’t have been as successful as it is now."
After breaking up with Shi Xinyu, Tao Yong focused wholeheartedly on his work. Now, his investnt company is thriving and has gained so fa in Hong Kong.
Zong Shing thought about it and agreed, "My Yinyin has a bad temper too, I need to mold her, or it’ll harm her in the long run."
Lu Jiaxin felt young girls should have so spirit; having edges makes them less vulnerable to bullying: "It’s a new society now. Won need to have their own careers. This way, even if the man isn’t reliable, they can still lead a good life."
Zong Shing agreed with this, which is why she enrolled her daughter in many interest classes, preferring her not to spend much ti with her grandmother and great-grandmother. Both elders had old-fashioned beliefs that n should be outside and won inside, with the woman’s job being to manage the ho and care for the husband and children. This isn’t the past anymore; won must have their own endeavors to stand undefeated.
