MTL - Rebirth 1983: Starting From Taking Back the Family Property-Chapter 224 holiday
Lu Jiaxin was originally planning to buy an ordinary car. There was no need to buy a high-quality transportation tool, but Gu Wenfeng suggested buying a car with good performance. When I arrived at the car dealership and saw those cars, I changed my mind and listened to Gu Wenfeng and bought a car with good performance. After all, safety comes first!
Gu Wenfeng said about buying a BMW and said that the safety of this car is better through comparison: "Jiaxin, you only buy a car for the convenience of traveling. I think buying a second-hand one is fine."
Lu Jiaxin doesn’t care whether it’s new or second-hand. She is not an important person now, she is just an ordinary middle school student, so buying a second-hand car is of no use. But when we do business in the future, we need to be pompous and we can no longer be so casual.
Gu Wenfeng likes cars, but he never had the opportunity before. After arriving in Hong Kong City, he found a job in a second-hand car dealer through Feng Lihua's connections. There is no salary and only lunch is included, and he goes to the car dealership mainly to study, learn Cantonese and understand the performance of various cars. After more than two months of study, I have gained an understanding of various brands of cars.
At the second-hand car store, Lu Jiaxin picked out a BMW 323i. Gu Wenfeng first checked the car from the inside out, and then tried driving it again. He made sure that there was nothing wrong with the car before negotiating the price with the car dealer.
After swiping the card and signing, Lu Jiaxin said with some distress: "For 280,000 Hong Kong dollars, I can buy several courtyard houses in the mainland."
Buying a courtyard house can appreciate in value, but buying a car can depreciate, so buying a car is the least cost-effective thing to do. I just have no choice but to buy a few cars to save my face when doing business.
Gu Wenfeng also thinks it is very expensive, so he just buys it if he wants to. His duty is to protect Lu Jiaxin, and buying a car with good performance is also for safety reasons.
It was already a little late after buying the car, and Lu Jiaxin made an appointment with Nie Zhan at 2:30. Although there was still time, Lu Jiaxin didn't want to run away, so she had something to eat at a nearby restaurant.
This time we met to play badminton together, and Nie Zhan chose the venue. What Lu Jiaxin didn't expect was that he actually chose the badminton hall of Hong Kong City University. It was rare for him to bother so much.
Because Nie Zhan said hello, Gu Wenfeng drove in directly. As soon as the two of them walked out of the parking lot, Nie Zhan walked over to them.
Nie Zhan has an inverted trapezoidal figure. The so-called inverted trapezoidal figure means that the upper body is relatively wide and the waist slowly narrows down. With a figure like this, as long as you wear clothes that are of good quality and fit well, you will look good. Today he was wearing a white sportswear. Coincidentally, Lu Jiaxin was also wearing a white sportswear.
Seeing what he was wearing, Lu Jiaxin thought to herself that it was a mistake. She would have worn gray or black if she had known better. Both of them were wearing white and looked very much like a couple.
Nie Zhan saw her clothes and a smile appeared on his face: "Jiaxin, should we go play badminton first or visit the school first."
Lu Jiaxin thought that she had just finished lunch, and said with a smile: "Since I'm here, I definitely want to visit the school, especially the business school. I want to see it."
She will stay there for four years after passing the exam, so she needs to familiarize herself with the environment first so that she knows what to expect.
Two people were walking in front, and Nie Zhan introduced her to the purpose and history of each building as they walked. I have to say that I have done a good job.
Gu Wenfeng and Nie Zhan's bodyguards followed behind. Because it was the university holiday on New Year's Day, there were not many students in the school. In addition, the security in the school was relatively good, so a few people were relatively relaxed.
Nie Zhan saw that Lu Jiaxin listened carefully and felt that his homework last night was not in vain. After walking for more than half an hour, the two of them found a place to rest. He asked: "Jia Xin, HKU Business School also has many majors, such as accounting, finance, economics, global management, business analysis, etc. You want to apply for the business school? You need to have a clear goal first.”
Lu Jiaxin had actually known about it for a long time. She smiled and said: "I remember that you studied at Harvard University. How come you are so familiar with the University of Hong Kong?"
Nie Zhan looked at her intently and said, "You said you wanted to apply for business school. I specifically asked a friend to ask. If you are willing, I can introduce my friend to you."
Lu Jiaxin thanked her and declined: "No, I'm going to apply for the finance major." Nie Zhan chose the economics major at University, but they both have business majors in common. He said: "Finance involves investment, financial markets, currency and banking, macro and micro economics, etc., which is relatively difficult."
Lu Jiaxin currently lacks financial knowledge, and entering university can make up for it: “I know it’s difficult, but it’s more challenging this way, what do you think?”
Nie Zhan didn't persuade her. Lu Jiaxin had her own opinion and knew what she wanted. She didn't need to say more: "If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. This is my expertise."
“Don’t worry, I won’t be polite when the time comes.”
Nie Zhan took Lu Jiaxin to the business school. After walking around and not seeing much, the two of them went to the badminton hall.
After half an hour of beating, Lu Jiaxin was so tired that she waved her hands and panted, "I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore. Let's take a rest first."
The two of them were sitting side by side. Lu Jiaxin drank half a bottle of water and said with a smile: "I thought you didn't get much exercise sitting in the office every day, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful."
Nie Zhan said that work is important, but his body is equally important: "I work out on weekdays, and on weekends I go hiking or play tennis and golf with my friends."
He often invites friends to meet up, so that he can strengthen his relationship while exercising and keep fit. If there are good projects that he feels comfortable talking about, he will collaborate together.
Lu Jiaxin doesn’t know how to golf. But I will definitely learn this in the future, because golf is a form of social interaction among the upper class in Hong Kong.
Nie Zhan asked: "Jiaxin, do you want to learn tennis? I think tennis is more fun and challenging than badminton."
Lu Jiaxin can play tennis, but the level is not high, but the original person cannot: "I don't have time now, I will learn it after the exam is over!"
The two of them continued to fight for more than two hours. After taking a shower, Lu Jiaxin was very hungry. Nie Zhan had already ordered a meal at Fulinmen and went over to eat.
Lu Jiaxin was so hungry that she ate as soon as the food came. The food this time was even more delicious than the previous two times. Nie Zhan was also very hungry, but he still ate elegantly.
Lu Jiaxin wiped her mouth after eating and said with some embarrassment: "I get flustered when I'm hungry, so I want to fill my stomach quickly."
This is the body's instinctive reaction. What she can actually control is that she didn't do it today. She wanted to see Nie Zhan's reaction. If he disliked it, they would not eat together in the future.
Nie Zhan asked doubtfully: “Have you ever been hungry before?”
Lu Jiaxin nodded and said: "I had an accident last year and I was hungry, and then I suffered from this problem. I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it was a sequelae of the original problem, and it will be forgotten after a few years."
