Lu Jiaxin frequently appeared in magazines, and the clothes she wore every time were very beautiful. Especially the clothes she wore when she went out to eat with Nie Zhan, she lived up to the title of the most beautiful school girl. However, after being photographed, Lu Jiaxin never went out to eat with him again. The tutoring that day was too tiring to make up for it on Sunday.
In the blink of an eye, it was November. After school that day, she received a call from Su Heyuan: "Jia Xin, Qian Xiaoxiao's grandfather called Heming and asked him to tell you that Chuncheng has designated Clivia as the city flower."
He didn't know the reason, but since he asked Heming to pass it on, it must be something important. As for why it was important, he didn't ask.
Lu Jiaxin's heart trembled. After thanking him, she immediately called Su Heming: "Can you contact Master Qian now?"
"He left a phone number, I should be able to find it. Is there anything you need to pass on?"
Lu Jiaxin felt that it was too troublesome to make a phone call like this, but she had to go to school and couldn't leave. After thinking for a while, she said, "You talk to Master Qian, and I'll let Xiaoxiao go back to help him."
"good."
Xiaoxiao didn't expect that she would have to go back to the mainland after only being here for a week. She asked, "Sister Xin, isn't my grandfather helping you keep an eye on the antique shop? I don't understand anything, so I can't help if I go there."
Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "Old Sun is watching over the antique shop, so don't worry about it for now. Go see your grandfather and tell him that the Clivia will become more and more valuable in the future. We must take good care of the Clivia we collected, and also make sure that his old friends are trustworthy. If you can't trust them, fire them and move the items to another place."
Xiao Xiao asked curiously, "How much can that flower be worth?"
Lu Jiaxin said vaguely: "A pot of Clivia can be sold for several thousand."
This is actually a conservative statement. Her grandmother and mother both like to grow orchids, and they have six pots at home. One time, her grandmother talked about the speculation of orchids in Chuncheng. At that time, the price of Clivia was several times or even hundreds of times the monthly income of citizens. It was rumored that the most expensive pot sold for 150,000 yuan, which was crazy.
Now that she knew about this, she didn't want to miss the opportunity and wanted to take advantage of it to make some money. Of course, if history changes, then she would just pay for a lesson.
Qian Xiaoxiao frowned and said, "My grandfather is old and in poor health, and he wants to save some property for his children and grandchildren, and then earn some money for his retirement. His friends have similar ideas. If the orchid is really as valuable as you say, some of them might have stolen it. My old man can't afford to lose face, so I have to do this."
But when she thought about going back to the mainland, she was worried that Feng Lihua would be the only one by Lu Jiaxin's side: "Sister Xin, if you really encounter danger, Sister Feng will not risk her life for you."
"How did you determine that?"
Xiao Xiao explained: "She called yesterday and told the person on the other end that her daughter was still waiting for her to take care of her and she would not do anything dangerous. Her wish was to make more money and give her daughter a better life."
As a personal bodyguard, she can say such things, subconsciously meaning that her daughter is more important than her employer, and if there is real danger, she will protect herself first.
Lu Jiaxin assured her: "Brother Gu will be here the day after tomorrow. I go to school or home every day, so I'll be fine."
I have a daughter, so I really can't do dangerous things. This job is dangerous, but the salary of non-dangerous jobs is not high. It's hard to have both.
Qian Xiaoxiao felt that the matter of the orchid was not urgent, and it would not be delayed if it was two days earlier or later: "I'd better wait for Brother Gu to come before going back, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
Lu Jiaxin nodded and agreed.
Gu Wenfeng stretched out his hand, tightly grasped Lu Jiaxin's right hand, and said gratefully: "Comrade Lu, Comrade Qin said he would like to thank you on behalf of the children in the orphanage."
Two million Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to more than 700,000 yuan, was used to repair the house and buy new clothes and bedding, and the children also had white flour buns and meat to eat.
Lu Jiaxin didn't take credit for it: "This money belongs to my great aunt, so if anyone is going to thank someone, it should be him."
Gu Wenfeng was just a proxy. He looked at Lu Jiaxin carefully and said, "I haven't seen you for a year. Not only have you grown taller, but you've also become prettier. It seems that Hong Kong City is very tolerant."
Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "Although the economic conditions here in Hong Kong are good, the public security and social atmosphere are far worse than those in the mainland. Not long after school started, I discovered that someone was bullying my deskmate, and last month someone escaped from a mental hospital and harassed me."
"The insane asylum escaped and harassed you?"
Lu Jiaxin found that she had really said it smoothly, so she explained: "He didn't really run away from a mental hospital. He was a rich kid who was instigated by He Hanxuan, the youngest son of the He family, to run to the school gate to express his love. He also gave him flowers and luxury cars. He was like a psychopath."
Gu Wenfeng's face darkened: "Is the school just going to stop me from causing trouble after I ran to the school gate?"
"The school can't do anything about it. He sent me flowers to express his love the day before, and I called the police. He was given a few verbal lectures at the police station and then returned home. The next day he went crazy and sent me a luxury car, so I beat him up and it even made the headlines."
Gu Wenfeng felt that this school and the police station were shit. If it were in the mainland, it would take at least ten days or half a month to deal with it. "He won't retaliate against you, will he?"
Lu Jiaxin said, "No, Nie Zhan, the handsome guy who bought my ancient painting, helped me to settle the matter. The bullying students have been expelled from the school, and Bao Yingjie did not dare to retaliate after being warned by Nie Zhan. Now I am worried that the He family will take action against me again, but I don't know what despicable means they will use."
Gu Wenfeng finally understood why she came here by herself. The situation was too dangerous: "Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you."
Lu Jiaxin believed him, but two fists could not beat four hands: "Brother Gu, I hired a female bodyguard. I signed a three-month trial period with her, and her performance during this period was not satisfactory. Use her first, and replace her when I find a suitable candidate."
Gu Wenfeng felt that two people were enough. After all, the security near the school should be fine. "Nie Zhan must have a purpose for helping you. Jiaxin, be careful not to be tricked when you deal with him in the future."
Lu Jiaxin avoided the topic and smiled as she started chatting about family matters: "Did your mother and wife praise the clothes I prepared for you last time after you brought them home?"
"He didn't praise me, but scolded me for having too much money to burn, and then he sold all the clothes in the bag. I sold them for more than 360 yuan, and my mother and my wife were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. They also told me to bring back another batch of clothes to sell when I have the chance in Guangzhou in the future."
Lu Jiaxin became happy: "Next time you come to Hong Kong, you can buy more clothes and send them back. Ask them to pay a higher price, so that they won't be willing to sell them and will keep them for themselves."
Gu Wenfeng shook his head and said, "With the money you gave me and my savings, I bought a small bungalow in Sijiu City. My wife and mother came here with the children in April this year."
Lu Jiaxin felt a little embarrassed because her family was separated again.
