Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire-Chapter 599 - 582: The Stock Market Plummets Again

Nie Zhan found someone quite capable, who quickly uncovered the background of that family tutor. Upon learning why that person sought revenge against the Nie family, Lu Jiaxin was speechless.

It turned out that the tutor’s sister was once Qin Jingguo’s (Nie Jingwen’s father) mistress. The woman got pregnant, since Qin Jingguo married into the family, so the children Nie Manli bore carried the Nie surname. He wanted a child with his own surname, so he hid the woman away.

Old Master Nie was not at ease with this son-in-law and planted a spy by Qin Jingguo’s side. When the woman was over seven months pregnant, the spy discovered something amiss, and this matter reached Old Master Nie.

At the time, Old Master Nie was furious and demanded Nie Manli divorce Qin Jingguo. Anyway, there were already three grandchildren, and Qin Jingguo had no use staying.

But Nie Manli refused to divorce, saying that it was the mistress who seduced Qin Jingguo, blaming the mistress entirely. Then, she used methods to force the mistress to the hospital for an induced abortion. Unexpectedly, during the procedure, there was an accident, and the woman hemorrhaged massively, coupled with having the rare panda blood type, she ultimately died from excessive blood loss.

The woman’s family wanted to sue Nie Manli, but Old Master Nie offered a million, and the matter faded away. Nie Manli refused to divorce Qin Jingguo, declaring that forcing her to divorce was akin to driving her to die. With no other options, Old Master Nie assigned Qin Jingguo to a branch office in Africa, out of sight, out of mind.

Lu Jiaxin asked, "How do you plan to handle this?"

Ultimately, the issue was caused by Nie Manli. If she had divorced Qin Jingguo in the beginning, and he left empty-handed, the woman might not have wanted to give birth, as her initial intention was monetary gain as a mistress. But she regarded a rotten man as treasure, and now she must bear the evil outcomes.

Nie Zhan stated he had done what he needed to do: "A friend recommended a lawyer to me, and I’ve given my brother the contact info. He’s already flown to America; he’ll take care of it well."

Originally thinking the revenge was against the entire Nie family, it turned out to be just against his aunt’s family, so he didn’t want to be involved. Over the years, he had cleaned up many messes for his aunt’s family, yet Nie Jingshu’s ex-wife resented him and intended harm on Jiaxin.

After saying this, he looked at Lu Jiaxin and said: "My aunt was deceived; she probably won’t be in trouble, but after this, she might take the three children back to Hong Kong."

Lu Jiaxin frowned and said: "Dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, the offspring of rats dig holes upon birth. Given their parents’ nature, I doubt they’ll turn out well."

Call her biased, call her petty, she refused to have any contact with the children of the woman who wanted to kill her.

"Your aunt wants to bring them back to the Forty-nine City for schooling; that’s your business, I have no right to interfere. But I’m cautious about my life and don’t want any contact with them. I won’t be visiting your Nie Family Old Mansion again, and those three children are not permitted to step foot into my home."

Nie Zhan understood, even he had reservations: "Once Grandpa recovers and can speak, I’ll discuss it with him."

Because she was upset, Lu Jiaxin didn’t go to the hospital again. When Nie Jingshu’s wife inquired, Nie Zhan said he was overwhelmed with work at the company and couldn’t leave.

Zhang Lalan understood; it wasn’t that he couldn’t leave, but rather was fed up after learning the whole truth. She was actually tired of it too; Nie Jingshu often got into trouble, with her husband always cleaning up after him. Later, when Nie Zhan came back, he helped a bit, but after the kidnapping incident, he stopped caring, leaving it all to her husband.

Because he was concerned, after Old Master Nie’s condition stabilized, Nie Zhan worked in the mornings and spent the afternoons at the hospital with Grandpa. With dedicated nursing staff to take care of necessities, all he needed to do was sit beside Grandpa and chat.

One day, while he was reviewing documents, his secretary Wang Shi knocked and entered to report an issue: "Boss, the Hang Seng index took another plunge, it has fallen 5% so far and is continuing to drop, showing signs of repeating the stock market crash of years ago."

Nie Zhan remained calm, saying: "Last month, the new building opened, and part of the funds was used to repay some loans. The stock market crash doesn’t affect the company’s operations."

The recapitalized funds were used to pay down debts, resulting in a current debt ratio of 58%. Truthfully, he wouldn’t have needed to use that money to repay debt at all. Today’s market shake-up only further proved his capability, ensuring the bank wouldn’t demand payment, especially since Xinxin Real Estate was backing it.

After Wang Shi left, he was surrounded by Wang Yadan and two other senior resource officers: "Did the boss predict another significant stock market event and thus open sales ahead?" freeweɓnovel-cøm

Two years ago, the boss predicted a stock market crash, therefore launched a sales event before clearing inventory. Thanks to emptied out new properties, the influx of funds allowed the company to stockpile land. Those who opened sales a month later or didn’t do promotions suffered massive losses because, after the market collapse, prospective buyers waited, not buying, and funds couldn’t be quickly recapitalized, while interest rates were exorbitantly high.

Wang Shi helplessly replied: "If I had known, I would have sold all my stocks, now I’m stuck with losses inside it."

That day, the stock market plunged nearly 11%, almost mirroring the crash from years ago. Nie Zhan was unconcerned about the company’s stock decline, as it would rebound before long, yet he was amazed at Jiaxin’s intuition being so precise.

Lu Jiaxin also received the information right away. Her immediate thought was that the automobile factory issue was settled.

Thinking of this, she promptly called Su Heyuan: "Did you hear about the stock market turmoil?"

Su Heyuan laughed heartily: "I just found out. I was planning to call you with good news, but you beat me to it."

Although the profit wasn’t much, being whisked along like this felt exhilarating. He’d remarked on Lu Jiaxin’s luck and foresaw nothing wrong.

Lu Jiaxin said: "Are you free for lunch? If not, I’ll treat you to lunch."

Hearing this, Su Heyuan knew there was something she wanted to discuss, checked his watch, and found it was almost eleven: "I can go now to order, finish what you’re busy with and come over."

Wondering what it might be? If it’s about investments, great, having her in a project guarantees profit.

"Then you go first, I’ll finish up here and come."

Lu Jiaxin completed her work, freshened up in the restroom, and went to Good Fortune Here. Unexpectedly, as she had just left, the phone rang.

Unable to reach her office phone, Nie Zhan called her mobile. Upon hearing she met with Su Heyuan, he knew precisely what it was about; she was indeed eager.

Lu Jiaxin said: "Are you busy? If you’re not, come over and eat with us."

Nie Zhan politely declined, saying: "I’m heading to the hospital to see Grandpa soon, talk to him. Once you’re done, I’ll chat with Su Heyuan."

"Alright."

Putting the phone down, Nie Zhan couldn’t help but reflect, the patriotic education in the Mainland was genuinely effective. While Jiaxin was usually laid-back, she was passionate about this. Actually, it’s pretty good, having faith gives one boundaries in their actions.
