Chapter 212: Retreat to Advance



Su Heyuan thought about it and decided to see the effect of the advertisement first. Although Lu Jiaxin said that this skirt would be popular, he was not sure. But he did not expect that by noon the next day, many people called the company and asked where they could buy this skirt.

The advertisement was accompanied by the company's phone number, and the company's front desk phone was flooded with calls that day. Su Heyuan didn't expect that a photo in a gossip magazine would be so attractive. In fact, it's not the gossip magazine that attracts people, but beautiful things that everyone yearns for.

That night, Su Heyuan deliberately went back with a sad face.

Seeing him like this, Mr. Su asked, "What happened? Why are you so worried?"

Su Heyuan said, "Grandpa, our company's chief designer has been full of inspiration recently and has designed many new styles. I have seen the design drafts, and each one is very beautiful. I want to hold a fashion show. But I have no money and no connections in the fashion industry."

Mr. Su said unhappily, "Your company's chief designer hasn't even shown up, and he's not famous, so how could anyone come to watch your show?"

Su Heyuan showed him the magazine and pointed to the cover and said, "Grandpa, this dress was designed by our company's chief designer Green. Many people want to buy it, and the factory is working overtime to make it now."

He chose an old customer and gave him priority in supplying this batch of goods once it was released.

Mr. Su looked at the photo and asked, "This girl looks a lot like Gu Xiuxiu. Is she the Lu Jiaxin you mentioned?"

Su Heyuan thought to himself that although the old man was in his seventies, he had good eyesight and a clear mind, and he could live another twenty years without any problems: "Yes, it's her. This photo was taken when she and Ms. Gu attended the 50th anniversary celebration of the He family."

Mr. Su asked doubtfully, "A friend of mine attended the He Group's anniversary celebration and said that Gu Xiuxiu didn't attend."

Su Heyuan briefly explained what happened: "Grandpa, if you don't like Ms. Gu and Jia Xin, don't invite them. It's too disgraceful to go to their house and humiliate them."

Mr. Su has always looked down on Ho Chu-liang and said, "None of the three sons can take over. If the daughter is capable, she will not be allowed to marry. Sooner or later, the Ho Group will change hands."

Many founders or descendants of listed companies in Hong Kong were kicked out, and the He family would have the same fate. His children and grandchildren were not very motivated, and they accepted the fact that the company had not been listed for so many years, so they held the money tightly in their hands. Fortunately, God took pity on him and sent his great grandson.

Su Heyuan realized that he had strayed from the topic, so he immediately returned to the topic of the fashion show: "Grandpa, do you think I should hold this fashion show?"

Mr. Su pointed to the cover of the magazine and said, "If all the new models designed by your designer are as good as this one, it will definitely be a hit."

Su Heyuan nodded and said, "I've seen all the design drafts, and they are about the same level as this one."

Mr. Su was surprised: "Is everything you said true?"

"Grandpa, how dare I lie to you about such a big thing? I'll show you the samples when they come out."

Mr. Su believed in his vision. He said, "If it's really as good as you said, I will give you one million and then help you invite celebrities from the fashion industry."

Su Heyuan came to tell him about this specifically because he wanted him to contribute money and effort. When he was about to agree, Lu Jiaxin's words came to his mind. She said that no one wants their children and grandchildren to always keep an eye on their money. The more their children and grandchildren think about their money, the less likely they are to give it.

Thinking of this, he took out a pen from his pocket and wrote an IOU. Under the puzzled look of Mr. Su, he explained: "Grandpa, these are all your retirement money. I can't take them anymore. I borrowed this one million. When I make money, I will pay you back with interest."

Mr. Su was very happy and immediately wrote a check for three million, then tore up his IOU: "Take it. As long as you make achievements, I will give you any amount."

At the same time, Lu Jiaxin also received a call from Sun Wushuang, who told him that Hongzhong Real Estate had sold a lot of assets and its stock price had fallen sharply.

Sun Wushuang said: "Hongzhong Real Estate was 0.98 Hong Kong dollars per share a month and a half ago. It has started to fall since it was acquired by Yaoming Investment Company. Now it has fallen to 0.73 Hong Kong dollars per share."

Lu Jiaxin said: "Sell all the stocks I have, and then buy Hongzhong Real Estate's stocks in batches."

Sun Wushuang reminded: "Ms. Lu, this stock will continue to fall. If you buy it, you may lose all your money."

Lu Jiaxin was not 100% sure, but stock trading was inherently a gamble: "You could lose everything, or you could make a ton of money."

Seeing that she didn't change her mind, Sun Wushuang didn't say anything else. As an agent, he told his employer the risks and consequences. If she didn't listen, it wouldn't be his fault if she lost all the money.

Three days later, Sun Wushuang called Lu Jiaxin and said, "Ms. Lu, we have purchased eight million shares of Hongzhong Real Estate. Because the number of scattered shares we purchased is relatively large, Yaomin Investment Company has noticed it."

Lu Jiaxin was not afraid of their investigation and said, "Let them investigate. We bought the stocks through legal channels, not through illegal means."

Sun Wushuang also gave her a reminder, but seeing that she didn't care, he didn't say much.

That evening, Lu Jiaxin received a call from Wang Yadan, inviting her to go hiking on Sunday. It was a nice day, neither too hot nor too cold, so hiking was a good idea.

Lu Jiaxin said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sister Wang. I have tutoring on Saturday, and I have to go to Mid-Levels to visit my aunt on Sunday. I don't have time to go hiking now."

Wang Yadan expressed her understanding, and then got to the point: "Ms. Lu, my boss wants to talk to you about something. When is a convenient day for you?"

Lu Jiaxin said tactfully: "This is my home phone number. If your boss has anything to say, let him call directly and we can communicate on the phone."

A smile flashed across Wang Yadan's lips: "Okay, I'll tell my boss."

In the past, so many beauties chased after their boss, but they all ended up getting rejected. Now the situation has changed, and it's the boss' turn to chase after a girl and get rejected. Speaking of which, Miss Lu is really amazing. She rejected a top-notch man like her boss. I don't know if she hasn't figured it out yet or if she doesn't like him.

Half an hour later, Lu Jiaxin received a call from Nie Zhan.

Nie Zhan talked to him about Hongzhong Real Estate: "Hongzhong Real Estate will hold a shareholders' meeting on the 9th of next month. I hope you can attend."

Lu Jiaxin calculated the time and refused: "I have classes on Tuesday, the 9th of next month and I can't go."

This was within Nie Zhan's expectations. He said, "Are you free this Friday? I'll treat you to a meal, and I can tell you about Hongzhong Real Estate's current operating conditions."

This time, Lu Jiaxin agreed without any hesitation. She had no time for romance, but making money could not be delayed, and other things had to take precedence.
