Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire-Chapter 602 - 585: Persuasion Through Intoxication

Before the stock market crash turbulence, Nie Zhan collaborated with Xinxin Real Estate to acquire the piece of land on ’Garden Road’ in Central. This land is remarkable, with an area as large as 92,000 square feet, making it the last valuable plot in Central. Because of this, a total of eight consortia participated in the bidding, including Wansheng Real Estate and Xinxin Real Estate, Cheung Kong Holdings, New World Development, New World, Heng Ji, Chang Rong, Nan Fen, etc.

The competition for this auction was extremely fierce. Fortunately, Lu Jiaxin had just sold a large amount of property and stocks, leaving her with sufficient funds. Nie Zhan ultimately secured this piece of land. According to his plan, two financial towers would be built, one serving as the headquarters for Wan Sheng Bank, marking them with iconic architecture; the other for Lu Jiaxin, where several of her companies could relocate.

The funds for acquiring the Central land king were transferred back from Little Days by Lu Jiaxin. The funds in Xinxin Real Estate’s accounts remained untouched, all used to purchase office buildings and residential apartments, then a massive acquisition of industrial buildings, combining old buildings, replacing equity books.

Hu Zhifeng organized a gathering, inviting the eldest of the Zheng Family, the third son of the Guo Family, and other top second-generation wealthy individuals in Hong Kong to play golf. Such gatherings naturally wouldn’t lack Nie Zhan, who is a good brother to them.

The eldest of the Zheng Family, holding a club, said, "Ah Zhan, lately your Wansheng Real Estate and Xinxin Real Estate have been raking in wealth."

Lu Jiaxin sold properties like DLG Towers at their highest prices, and then within just over half a month, the housing market plummeted. When it dropped about thirty percent, she again made large-scale purchases of quality properties. This buying and selling earned her twice the profit, and she also made quite a name for herself. Lu Jiaxin is low-key, and people outside believed Nie Zhan had all the credit; lately, financial magazines and entertainment magazines have been praising Nie Zhan’s sharp insight.

Hu Zhifeng laughingly said, "Today, I wanted him to bring his wife along so we could all meet her. But his wife is shy, thinking we’re all men, she felt too embarrassed to come."

The third son of the Guo Family had met Lu Jiaxin, didn’t find her shy at all. But indeed, for the past two years, she rarely made appearances, it was rumored this young lady did not enjoy socializing. But this didn’t matter, being able to make money makes one a helpful wife. Nie Zhan is capable, he found a wife who can support him.

He laughed and said, "Ah Zhan, you’ve been dating Miss Lu for several years now, when are you inviting us to your wedding with Miss Lu?"

Nie Zhan took the opportunity to announce his and Lu Jiaxin’s engagement date, and invited them to participate. Of course, for now, it’s a verbal notice, the invitations will be sent to their homes after some time.

Hu Zhifeng then turned the topic to business. Miss Lu and Nie Zhan are about to get engaged, they’ll become a married couple, this isn’t something to joke about.

They dispersed after lunch. Hu Zhifeng seeing the drunken Nie Zhan knew he was genuinely happy. Of course, in these few years, his career was soaring, and he was about to get engaged to Miss Lu, how could he not be happy.

Hu Zhifeng said, "Ah Zhan, Congratulations to you!"

Nie Zhan was actually sober, he knew this congratulations meant for his upcoming engagement. He deliberately said with a drunken tone, "Thanks, Brother Feng. Brother Feng, there is something I am unsure if I should say."

Hu Zhifeng feigned anger and said, "Ah Zhan, we’ve known each other for over twenty years, saying something like this clearly means treating me as an outsider."

He and Nie Zhan have known each other since childhood, being three years older he took good care of him, after many times they grew closer and closer. Even his biological brother couldn’t compare to Nie Zhan.

Nie Zhan leaned back on the chair and said, "My career has developed so well, half of the credit belongs to Jiaxin. She is someone who doesn’t tolerate foolishness in her eyes, believing that as a man one should be loyal to family."

When he knew Hu Zhifeng had a mistress outside, Jiaxin didn’t mind, she felt in Hong Kong’s environment, wealthy men seeking women outside was a common thing as long as the wives didn’t mind. But last time, when Hu Zhifeng asked her for the address of a doctor, she sensed every time she mentioned Brother Feng, Jiaxin frowned.

Hu Zhifeng’s expression slightly changed. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Nie Zhan seemed unaware of his discomfort and continued, "In the Mainland, there’s a saying, ’being close to someone good makes you good, being close to someone bad makes you bad.’ Jiaxin sees you have two mistresses outside, and even asked her for a doctor’s address for them, worrying it might affect me. Also, she believes a person who doesn’t treat his wife well how can he sincerely treat friends."

"Brother Feng, those women outside can be played with for fun and to relieve boredom, but do not develop true feelings, otherwise, it will inevitably lead to estrangement in marriage. If the marriage is unsound, the career won’t be smooth."

Seeing him squint his eyes and speaking lightly in the end, Hu Zhifeng said, "Don’t worry, I know my limits."

Responding was a series of faint snores.

Hu Zhifeng sent Nie Zhan to Lu Residence, then called Lu Jiaxin: "Ah Zhan is drunk. Yes, today we discussed another project, was too happy drank a few more cups."

Lu Jiaxin was in Green Forest, hearing Nie Zhan was drunk couldn’t sit still, she sincerely said, "I know, thank you brother-in-law."

Hu Zhifeng hung up the phone, then fell into deep thought.

Lu Jiaxin returned home, found Nie Zhan on the phone, not a hint of drunkenness. She puzzledly said, "Hu Zhifeng said you were drunk? What’s going on."

Nie Zhan pulled her close and said, "While we were playing golf, Brother Feng received a call, it was from his woman outside, he talked to her in a tone and with a gentle expression that suggested affection. I had a few more drinks at lunch, then used the excuse of being drunk to offer him some advice."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jiaxin immediately understood and said with a dark expression, "Do you mean he developed real feelings for the woman outside?"

Nie Zhan realized this was indeed the case and used intoxication as an excuse to counsel him. Sister-in-law was such a perceptive person, she could discern if he was merely playing or had developed real feelings. Playing a bit, sister-in-law wouldn’t mind but developing real feelings might cause a fallout: "No, it’s just a budding sign. Hopefully, my advice today will wake him up and he’ll cut ties with that woman."

When men outside flirt casually or play around, their wives often turn a blind eye, after all, the atmosphere outside is like this. But if real feelings arise along with illegitimate children, couples end up seemingly harmonious but actually estranged. When the wife and children are not aligned, how can the career develop well? He truly regards Hu Zhifeng as a friend, hence saying these words.

Lu Jiaxin frowned and said, "I just hope he listens to your words..."

Sister Shimeng just gave birth not long ago, if she knew her husband developed true feelings for a woman outside, how distressed would she be. Hopefully, he could quickly cut things off outside, or else a loving couple would be nothing but a joke.

Lu Jiaxin looked at Nie Zhan and said, "If ever you don’t like me anymore, just tell me and we’ll part on good terms. But if you dare to secretly find a woman outside, even if we both suffer, I won’t let you off easily."

When feelings dwindle, separation is one thing, but finding women outside is disgusting.

"There won’t be that day."
