Chapter 307 European Trip



Milan is one of the three major fashion capitals in the world, the other two being Huadu and London. After arriving in Milan, Lu Jiaxin took a day off and then started shopping. The world's top fashion brands, boutiques and designer stores can be seen everywhere on the streets.

Qian Xiaoxiao saw that she went shopping enthusiastically every day. Because she walked too much, her feet were covered with blisters, but she did not rest but continued to shop. She tried to persuade her twice but it was useless. She could only ask Gu Wenfeng for help: "Brother Feng, can you persuade Sister Xin to rest for two days before going shopping?"

"What's wrong?"

After knowing the reason, Gu Wenfeng said, "I will find a way to let the boss rest in the hotel for two more days, so that he can recover his foot before going out for a walk."

Qian Xiaoxiao nodded, then said in confusion: "Why does Sister Xin like shopping so much? She doesn't even feel tired."

Gu Wenfeng frowned at her and said, "The boss is a fashion designer. She doesn't just look at beautiful clothes when she goes shopping like other people do. She should be learning and observing."

Qian Xiaoxiao didn’t think so much.

Gu Wenfeng said rudely, "Xiaoxiao, you can't even understand such a simple truth and you still need me to remind you. I don't think you are suitable for the job of bodyguard. Xiaoxiao, you are still young and it's not too late for you to change your job."

Qian Xiaoxiao returned to her room in a depressed mood. She thought about this problem seriously in her room and found that she still liked this job very much.

After thinking it through, Qian Xiaoxiao apologized to Lu Jiaxin for always persuading her not to go shopping. As a bodyguard, her behavior was out of line.

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "You advised me because you couldn't bear to see me getting blisters."

Qian Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "Sister Xin, you treat me as a sister, so you think it's okay. But Brother Feng looks at this matter from the perspective of a bodyguard, and I really didn't do my job well."

She doesn't have Brother Gu's attentiveness and thoughtfulness, nor does she have Zong Jinghua's professionalism. If she wants to stay with Sister Xin, she has to change. Otherwise, she would be too ashamed to stay there, even without Brother Gu telling her.

Qian Xiaoxiao said, "Sister Xin, you said last time that if I want to become a qualified female bodyguard, I have to go for training. Sister Xin, do I want to go for training?"

She used to think being a bodyguard was simple, all she had to do was chase away anyone who came to provoke her. But after seeing Gu Wenfeng and Zong Jinghua, she realized that she had thought it was too simple.

"It will be very hard, I'm afraid you can't bear it." Lu Jiaxin said.

Qian Xiaoxiao said she was not afraid of hardship: "Sister Xin, I am not afraid of hardship, I am just afraid that I cannot protect you. If I am really unqualified, I will not stay."

Lu Jiaxin was very satisfied with her attitude and said with a smile: "I will make arrangements when we return to Hong Kong City."

Qian Xiaoxiao was not worried no matter how hard the training was, but now there was still a problem: "Sister Xin, if I leave, Brother Feng and Brother Zong are men, and there will be some places where they can't protect you closely."

Lu Jiaxin said that she was already recruiting talents: "Nie Zhan said that he would help me find a female bodyguard. I will ask about the progress after returning to Hong Kong City. She should be here in a while."

Qian Xiaoxiao hesitated and said, "Sister Xin, can we trust the people hired by Boss Nie?"

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "You have to listen to whoever you serve and work for. It has nothing to do with the middleman. Xiaoxiao, this is called professionalism. Otherwise, no one will hire them in the future."

Qian Xiaoxiao thought about what she had said to Gu Wenfeng, and apologized to her in shame.

Lu Jiaxin didn't care. She said, "A person's knowledge and ideas are limited, so we must continue to learn and absorb the strengths of others to make up for our own shortcomings."

She has the memory of the next twenty years, and she is naturally gifted in fashion, but this does not mean that she is better than anyone else or does better than anyone else. Only by learning, giving full play to her strengths and constantly correcting her shortcomings can she get better and better.

Qian Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Sister Xin, I will pay attention to it next time."

After staying in Milan for more than a week, Lu Jiaxin was going to Huadu, where she studied abroad in her previous life. But before leaving, she called Nie Zhan and asked him when he would come.

Nie Zhan said in a low voice: "Something happened here, I can't go over to find you."

Through his hoarse voice, Lu Jiaxin felt that he was very tired. The real estate market in Hong Kong has recovered and house prices are rising. There shouldn't be any difficult problems.

Lu Jiaxin asked: "Can you tell me what happened?"

Nie Zhan told her, "There was a poisoning incident in our hotel. More than a dozen guests suffered from vomiting and diarrhea. One of them was an elderly man with poor health. He died in the hospital."

Lu Jiaxin's heart sank. A food poisoning incident occurred in the hotel and people died. This was an extremely bad social event. This kind of thing is usually not an accident. It may be due to poor management or poisoning by the enemy. The Nie family is also a well-known family in Hong Kong City, and the probability of being poisoned is very small.

Lu Jiaxin knew that Nie Jingshu was in charge of the hotel, so she asked, "Have you found out the reason?"

After saying this, she felt that this was a bit abrupt, so she quickly added: "If it's inconvenient to say, then just pretend I didn't ask."

Nie Zhan naturally believed her and said, "It was caused by the stale ingredients. This time when I dealt with the poisoning incident, I discovered that the hotel's management was a mess. The purchasing manager not only appointed people based on personal connections, but also accepted benefits privately."

As she expected, there was a problem with management. She asked, "How can this purchasing manager be so bold? What kind of background does he have?"

Nie Zhan felt that she could really hit the nail on the head, and said with some annoyance: "The purchasing manager is Nie Jingshu's brother-in-law. My eldest brother said before that people like him should not be employed, and at most they should be given a sinecure, but Nie Jingshu didn't listen."

Even he doesn't call me second brother anymore, which shows how angry he is.

Lu Jiaxin said dissatisfiedly: "Such a big thing happened, why did you come forward to deal with it instead of Nie Jingshu? Even if he can't handle it, your eldest brother should come forward."

Nie Zhan said, "He hid himself after hearing about the death. My eldest brother and my eldest sister-in-law went on vacation to Beverly Hills two days before the hotel accident. On the second day at the villa, my eldest sister-in-law accidentally fell and found out she was pregnant when she went to the hospital. The fall caused miscarriage and the doctor said she had to stay in bed and rest. It was not good for my eldest brother to come back in this situation. Jingting had never dealt with such a big thing, so it fell on me."

Lu Jiaxin was shocked. As the person in charge of such a big incident, he just hid away and let others clean up his mess.
