Nie Zhan asked Lu Jiaxin as soon as he got ho from work, "My sister-in-law wants to open a beauty salon. Did she talk to you about this?"
Lu Jiaxin replied, "She specially ca today to discuss this with and even wanted to invest. I initially refused, but she insisted, so I ended up investing twenty percent. Why, did Hu Zhifeng disagree?"
Nie Zhan shook his head, "No, Brother Feng supports it. I was thinking since your new product is about to launch, you could collaborate with my sister-in-law."
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "The improved skincare product is targeted at white-collar workers and is positioned as mid-range. My sister-in-law’s beauty salon is aid at her wealthy lady friends, so it’s not a match. However, she did tell today that she wants to provide Jade Skin Ointnt and other skincare products, which I agreed to."
Nie Zhan had heard about products like the Jade Skin Ointnt from her before; they worked well but had very short shelf lives. With substitute materials, costs ca down, and advanced technology extended the shelf life, but the effectiveness was greatly reduced. This is a technical problem that experts have to solve.
"Jiaxin, I want to list Five Auspicious Jewelry next year."
Lu Jiaxin certainly didn’t oppose, as she planned to list all her assets except for Xinxin Real Estate. Even Wanjia Film and Television, which initially had the lowest profits and was just for fun, has been rejuvenated, and Tian Pengyu is eager to list it, so he’s working hard now.
"Sure, I’ll fully cooperate."
Nie Zhan brought up Nie Jingting again, "Today, Grandpa called him and told him to co back."
Initially agreed to go for a year, he’s been in the Mainland for three years now and should co back.
Seeing Lu Jiaxin not respond, he smiled and said, "Wanjia Film and Television is short of people, right? Let him sign with Wanjia Film and Television and start from the bottom."
Lu Jiaxin said, "He’s been acting in the Mainland for over two years, so his acting skills should have improved. He doesn’t have to start as an extra. Give him so supporting roles first, and if he performs well, he can gradually advance."
She knew Nie Jingting genuinely liked acting, and as long as his acting improved, with his looks, he could eventually land leading roles.
Thinking of this, Lu Jiaxin said, "As long as his acting is recognized by the industry’s big nas, I can write a script tailored for him in the future."
Tailoring scripts wasn’t a problem, but whether he could beco hugely popular depended on luck. There’s a saying in the entertainnt industry that going viral depends on being promoted, but massive fa depends on fate; sotis, it’s quite enigmatic.
Nie Zhan smiled, "If Jingting heard this, he’d probably jump for joy."
"Just keep this to yourself, don’t tell him or your grandpa. I don’t want to be rushed for a draft."
Nie Zhan laughed out loud, "You’re the boss, who’s going to rush you for a draft? Write when you have inspiration. If not, it’s okay; we’re not living off it anyway."
When Lu Jiaxin had inspiration, she’d only write the outline, then share so ideas with the screenwriters, and finally, review the script. And every film or TV show she was involved in did very well.
While walking, the two talked about the engagent banquet in five days.
The wedding planning company was decided by Lu Jiaxin, and the engagent process was also decided by her. As for guests and the banquet, she didn’t handle that; it was all arranged by Sister-in-law Nie. However, she can’t leave everything to Sister-in-law Nie, so Lu Jiaxin plans to settle the company’s affairs tomorrow and focus on the engagent.
"What about the costics?"
The costics company’s matters would be paused for now; they’ve waited three years, so a few more days won’t hurt. Although the engagent banquet isn’t as important as the wedding, they want to leave a beautiful mory and not create a ss.
The Harbour City Governnt wants to build a large housing estate, and Wansheng Real Estate is also participating in the bidding. Nie Zhan has overseen housing estates, but none this large. If they succeed this ti, not only will the company’s reputation improve, but also his standing will be more prominent. So Lu Jiaxin doesn’t let him handle the engagent. She has a 21% stake in Wansheng Real Estate, so the better the company, the more she earns.
Nie Zhan held her hand and said with a smile, "It’s hard for you. When we get married, I’ll handle the wedding."
Lu Jiaxin laughed, "Maybe when we get married, you’ll have another big project. Don’t make promises on uncertain things, too many tis and I won’t trust you anymore."
He’s missed so many travel plans that now in her mind, he’s the "king of no-shows," so much so that she doesn’t even count him in travel plans anymore.
Nie Zhan gazed at Lu Jiaxin and asked, "I’m already thirty-one this year. Jiaxin, can we get married before I turn thirty-five?"
Lu Jiaxin wasn’t going to be tricked, "We’ll see how you perform. If I’m satisfied, then when I’m twenty-five, I’ll marry you."
So far, Nie Zhan’s performance has been satisfactory to her, but she’s only twenty-one this year and doesn’t want to rush into marriage. If in the next four years, he continues as he is now, then she’d definitely marry him.
The next day, Zong Shing and Hu Zhifeng went to the hospital to visit Lu Hongjun. Originally, Shing planned to go alone, but when Hu Zhifeng found out, he insisted on going with her. He’s been good friends with Nie Zhan for years, and now that his future father-in-law is hospitalized, he definitely needs to visit.
Hu Zhifeng is a people person and hit it off with Lu Hongjun. And Zong Shing quietly sat to the side, peeling an apple for Lu Hongjun.
After chatting for over half an hour, Lu Hongjun had to go for rehab, so the couple went ho.
At noon, Nie Jingwen also called Nie Zhan, asking, "Ah Zhan, I heard from your sister-in-law that your father-in-law is at Recuperate Hospital. What’s going on? How co he ended up in the hospital while attending the wedding?"
Nie Zhan laughed and explained, "He’s in good health; he’s just recovering slowly post-surgery, so Jiaxin sent him to Recuperate Hospital for rehab treatnt."
Nie Jingwen was relieved, as long as his health wasn’t an issue, it wouldn’t affect the engagent banquet, "Grandpa plans to visit him at Recuperate Hospital this afternoon, and I’ll go with him. We haven’t properly visited your in-laws before, so we should apologize."
Nie Zhan asked about the ti, "Give a call when you’re heading out, and we’ll et at the hospital entrance."
In the afternoon, Old Master Nie t Lu Hongjun and imdiately apologized, saying he hadn’t taught his grandson well enough to honor ancestral traditions and let him do things his own way.
Actually, when he heard that they set the engagent date by themselves, he imdiately asked Nie Zhan to propose to the Lu Family, but Lu Jiaxin said it wasn’t necessary, and the matter was dropped. His grandson could be scolded, but he wouldn’t reprimand his granddaughter-in-law.
Initially, Lu Hongjun was a bit unhappy, but upon learning it was Lu Jiaxin’s decision, he llowed out. Once he t Nie Zhan, he couldn’t help but like him—it was his ideal son-in-law!
Lu Hongjun laughed and said, "This isn’t Ah Zhan’s fault; it’s all Jiaxin’s doing. Ah Zhan studied abroad, so he doesn’t know about many of the customs here, but Jiaxin does."
Nie Jingwen thought to himself, if his sister-in-law heard this, she’d probably get angry.
Old Master Nie discreetly changed the subject to chat about dostic reforms and economic developnt. This was a topic Lu Hongjun enjoyed, and the two had a great conversation until it was ti for him to go for rehab therapy, prompting Old Master Nie and Nie Jingwen to head ho.
