When she woke up one night, it was white outside, and the snowflakes were dancing in the wind like catkins. Lu Jiaxin reached out to catch the snow, and it melted as soon as it fell into her hands.

Seeing this, Xiao Qiu hurried over and pushed her back into the house: "Aunt, you are weak and cannot be exposed to the cold wind. You will catch a cold."

Today is New Year's Day, and all companies, businesses and schools are closed, so they didn't set up stalls.

Lu Jiaxin smiled. They all treated her like a porcelain doll, telling her what she couldn't eat and what she couldn't do. "Let's go to the Forbidden City to enjoy the snow later."

This suggestion was opposed by everyone. Xiao Qiu said, "Aunt, we will take you to the Forbidden City when you are better. It is not possible now."

Because Lu Jiaxin caught a cold twice in half a month in Yangcheng, even though she didn't get sick again after returning to Beijing, everyone was still worried.

Lu Jiaxin knew that traveling was not feasible, so she thought about it and came up with an idea: "Then let's have hot pot at noon. It just so happens that I bought a copper pot a few days ago, so I can use it today."

She went shopping a few days ago and bought a copper pot when she saw one. It is most enjoyable to eat hotpot on a snowy day.

They are all young people, and hot pot is quite attractive to them. It happened to be cold, so they stocked up a lot of meat, and there were potatoes, radishes and cabbages in the vegetable cellar.

After breakfast, Xue Mao, Qian Xiaoxiao and the other two got busy. At around 8 o'clock, Lu Jiaguang called her and said that someone had bought a batch of sheep from the Northwest grasslands. Knowing that she loved to eat sheep, he and a colleague bought a sheep together and would slaughter it and send it to her later.

This is really a pillow for a sleepy person. Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "Brother, I was just thinking about eating hot pot and you brought me mutton. Today is a holiday, you can ask Lu Ping and Lu An to come over to my place to eat hot pot, it will be more lively with more people."

Under normal circumstances, Lu Jiaguang would definitely refuse, fearing that the children would bother Lu Jiaxin. However, there was something he wanted to ask Lu Jiaxin for help with: "Lu Ping is now a sophomore and will graduate the year after next. Your sister-in-law said that for doctors, the academic qualifications of a junior college student are still a bit low and she wants him to take the postgraduate entrance examination, but the child is not willing. Jiaxin, you are the same age as Lu Ping, can you help us persuade him?"

This is a big deal, so Lu Jiaxin naturally wouldn't refuse.

Around ten o'clock, someone brought half a lamb. Lu Jiaxin also had fish, beef, shrimp, and six kinds of vegetables. At noon, all eight of them were very satisfied.

After eating, Lu Jiaxin took Lu Ping for a walk in the yard: "You are a sophomore this year and will graduate the year after next. Do you have any plans for the future?"

Lu Ping has the typical Lu family appearance, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, regular features, and a tall stature, but he is a little shy. He was admitted to a technical college, and Uncle Lu was so happy that he held a banquet at home. He shook his head and said, "After graduation, the school will assign you a job. I don't know where you will be assigned to."

Lu Jiaxin said, "Lu Ping, when the hospital evaluates candidates for promotion and professional titles in the future, candidates with the same level of qualifications will definitely be selected. Your academic qualifications will be a disadvantage. If you want to have a good career development in the future, you must continue to take exams, preferably a doctorate."

She didn't know much about medical skills, but she knew that academic qualifications were also a reference standard for selection within the system. She was particularly impressed by a video. There was an experienced pediatrician with excellent medical skills and ethics, who was praised by patients' families and colleagues. However, because he only had a bachelor's degree, he could not be evaluated for a professional title or a salary increase, so he had no choice but to resign and go to a private hospital for a living.

Lu Ping didn't say anything, as his parents had already said this.

Lu Jiaxin knew from his expression that he didn't listen: "My mother taught me to make snacks at the beginning, but I didn't want to, but she forced me to learn. Later, I lost my memory in the ancient capital. I didn't remember who I was, but I still knew how to make snacks. I supported myself with this skill."

Lu Ping nodded gently: "I heard from my parents. Aunt, you have suffered."

"Lu Ping, your life is your own. If you don't want to make progress and want to go with the flow, no one can force you. But if you regret it in the future, don't tell us."

Lu Ping fell into deep thought.

At around four in the afternoon, Su Heyuan came over with two bags of things: "Heming said you were not feeling well, so he bought some sea cucumbers and shark fins for me to bring to you."

After welcoming him to the main hall, Lu Jiaxin made him a cup of tea and asked, "When did Mr. Su come back?"

Su Heyuan took something out of her handbag and said, "I came back yesterday afternoon, Miss Lu. The six shoes you designed are selling very well. This is a red envelope for you."

Pulling out a bulging file bag and placing it on the table, Su Heyuan explained, "Miss Lu, this is a reward from the company, not something I give to you personally. There is an unwritten rule in Hong Kong City that when a company makes a lot of money, the boss will give a big red envelope to important people. As a designer, you can't miss out."

Lu Jiaxin looked at the file bag, which should have several thousand in it. A smile appeared on her face: "It seems that he made several million, otherwise he wouldn't give me such a big red envelope."

Su Heyuan did not hide the truth from her: "The shoes were sold out as soon as they were released. We have made over a million yuan so far, and we should be able to make another three or four million yuan in the future."

Of course, this is not just the profit of the port city, but also includes exports. There is no need to tell Lu Jiaxin these details.

When Lu Jiaxin heard the profit, she knew it was a high-end brand. She didn't touch the file bag and asked with a smile, "Why are you telling me this, Mr. Su? Those six pairs of shoes were a burst of inspiration and luck, but good luck doesn't just come naturally."

She couldn't work too hard, and she was worried that if she gave it to Lu Jiajie, it would mess up, so she had to sell the goods and the design drawings to Su Heyuan. There was a reason for the loss, and she accepted it. It was impossible to buy her design drawings at such a low price.

Su Heyuan came here this time to ask for a new design: "Miss Lu, if the shoes you design are not inferior to any of the previous ones, you can set the price."

"I have no shortage of money now."

“No one would complain about having too much money.”

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "I think it's good enough to have enough money. Having too much money and not enough ability is no different from a child holding a gold ingot in a busy city. Mr. Su, am I right?"

The first time Su Heyuan dealt with Lu Jiaxin, he felt that this girl was very capable. It was expected that she would not want to sell the design this time. "Miss Lu, the Hong Kong stock market is not doing well now. Are you sure you want to use the remaining payment to buy stocks?"

Lu Jiaxin had traded stocks in her previous life, but she had never studied it in depth. However, it would be a good idea to buy stocks of companies that still exist after more than 30 years: "Sure, buy Sun Hung Kai Properties."

Stocks will definitely have ups and downs. She can't guarantee short-term fluctuations, but she will definitely make money if she holds them in the long term.
