Nie Han is only 18 years old this year. Born into the richest family, her studies since childhood have included piano, flower arranging, and art appreciation. These are all knowledge that socialites and heiresses learn to enhance their artistic cultivation, adding the finishing touch to their lives.

In addition, she was always accompanied and chauffeured by bodyguards and servants, whether she was studying or on vacation. She was a rich young lady who knew nothing of the hardships of the world except for romance and enjoying life, and she was also not very cunning.

In her mind, Chen Rou had saved her and Nie Zhao, and her grandfather would surely be extremely grateful and reward her handsomely.

The two entered the room together. She jogged over and pushed open the bathroom door, took Chen Rou's slippers, and asked, "What did my grandfather talk to you about just now? Was he planning to give you a big house or a set of jewelry?"

She rubbed her hands together again, and said with a hopeful look, "My grandma has several privately owned houses, one of which is in the Mid-Levels overlooking the entire Victoria Harbour. If grandpa is willing to give it to you, I suggest you take that one. As for jewelry, let grandpa say so, and I'll take you to Ah Sang Jewellery. My grandma owns half of the shares there, and her collection of jewelry is displayed in the Ah Sang Jewellery Museum."

Chen Rou smelled the stench emanating from Nie Han. Luckily, the bathtub in the ward was a large, round one, and since they were all girls, they could take a bath together. So she patted the rim of the tub and said, "Come on, let's take a bath together and relax."

Nie Han hadn't showered for several days, and her body felt sticky and greasy, so she was looking forward to taking a bath.

Moreover, she had never experienced kidnapping or murder before, and her home security was good. She had no sense of crisis and always felt safe. But after this kidnapping, she was filled with fear and anxiety. She only felt safe when she was with Chen Rou. They were both girls, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about taking a bath together. Quickly, she took off her clothes and got into the bathtub.

Once inside the bathtub, she added, “Actually, if Grandpa really wants to give you jewelry, I don’t recommend you ask for the jewelry directly. I would suggest you ask for shares in Ah Sheng Jewelry Store. My grandma owns 49% of Ah Sheng Jewelry Store. If he gives you 5%, you can get millions in dividends every year.”

Chen Rou pondered silently for a moment, then asked Nie Han, "Who manages your grandmother's shares in the jewelry store now? I'm afraid it's... Ms. Mei Lu?"

Han Yuzhu and Mei Lu are both Nie Rong's wives and Nie Han's grandmothers. However, Nie Han calls Han Yuzhu "Grandma" and Mei Lu "Madam Mei." A trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes as she said, "Originally, the shares of the jewelry store were managed by my father, but he passed away later. My uncle has been staying abroad, so those shares have been managed by Madam Mei."

After a moment of concentration, she added, "If I were to offer you shares, Grandpa would probably be willing. He's always been very generous to us when it comes to money. But I doubt Mrs. Mei would agree. I remember she said that your element is water, like the vast ocean of the Tongtian River, and that the jewelry industry is the worst thing for you. If you do it, you're sure to lose money."

The Asheng Jewelry that Nie Han mentioned is also part of the Nie Group. Although its current profits are only a small part of the group's overall profits, in the future, under Nie Zhao's management, Asheng Jewelry will become a global chain jewelry brand like Lao Feng Xiang and Luk Fook Jewelry. Its franchised jewelry chains will be located in every city and shopping mall across the mainland, becoming a benchmark in the industry.

It is a brand personally invested in by Nie's mother, Han Yuzhu, who has a keen eye for business. Many of its business concepts and design styles were also finalized by Han Yuzhu. Currently, its reputation in Hong Kong is far higher than that of other jewelry brands.

It was only a tiny fraction of Han Yuzhu's total wealth, which shows how considerable her fortune was. Unfortunately, no matter how much money Han Yuzhu made or how many businesses she owned, she was ultimately a beautiful woman with a short life and is now dead. According to the law, her wealth is now being managed by others.

Chen Rou keenly noticed that Nie Han immediately became unhappy and listless when Mei Lu was mentioned. So she said, "I remember Madam Mei once told me that you have a fire element in your destiny, and a mountain fire element at that, so you should study art. Sooner or later you will become very famous and make money through art, right?"

Nie Han said, "Madam Mei's father was a famous Taoist master in Hong Kong. She was influenced by him from a young age. In the words of those in the industry, she is also a half-Taoist master. She is very good at numerology and metaphysics."

This brings us to another difference between Hong Kong and the mainland.

In mainland China, after the vigorous anti-feudal movement of the 1960s and 70s, people have become more convinced of science and the power of human will to overcome nature. Most people do not believe in superstitions or fortune-telling.

However, Hong Kong did not experience the anti-feudalism and destruction of the Four Olds movement. In addition, the rags-to-riches stories of Hong Kong's tycoons are mostly not honorable, and many are even involved in deaths. In recent years, Hong Kong's economy has been unstable, with many people being the richest one day and the most indebted the next. Wealth comes and goes without anyone's control, and it all depends on luck. As a result, the tycoons have a strong belief in things like fortune-telling and metaphysics.

Ordinary people, whether rich or poor, have limited knowledge and understanding due to their different levels of knowledge.

Although Chen Rou had transmigrated, she had been born under the red flag since childhood, and her years of military service made her not only disbelieve in feudal superstition, but also a staunch anti-theism, and she hated all sorts of demons and monsters.

From a scientific and anti-superstitious perspective, she not only did not think that Mei Lu understood metaphysics, but also felt that she was planning ahead and making arrangements for the future of the Nie family's property.

For example, Asheng Jewelry is the best and most promising of all of Han Yuzhu's businesses. If the original owner marries Nie Zhao, she will be Han Yuzhu's only daughter-in-law and should be in charge of Asheng Jewelry. However, Mei Lu insists that the original owner is incompatible with the jewelry industry. Isn't this a disguised way of cutting off the original owner's chance of inheriting Asheng Jewelry?
