Zong Shimeng called to invite Lu Jiaxin to have afternoon tea: "I asked Meitong and Xinyu, they are both free tomorrow afternoon."
"I'm on vacation now, everything is fine."
Because afternoon tea was scheduled at the manor, Lu Jiaxin was worried about bugs so she didn't wear a skirt. Instead, she wore a smoky gray T-shirt with blue straight jeans.
Shi Xinyu saw her and said with a smile, "I never realized your legs were so long before."
Lu Jiaxin used to wear long skirts when she met them before. Although she looked tall, her legs were visible. This pair of pants fully showed off her long legs.
Zong Shimeng sighed a little, saying that it was better to be young, and look good in anything. Unlike herself, after giving birth to three children, no matter how much weight she lost, she could not get back to her pre-pregnancy weight. Moreover, whenever she talked about losing weight, her mother-in-law and great-grandmother would not agree, saying that women who were too skinny and skinny were not good-looking and would not bring good luck to the family.
After drinking a cup of Qihong tea, Zong Shimeng smiled and said, "I heard from my Zhifeng that you and Nie Zhan went fishing a few days ago?"
Lu Jiaxin knew she couldn't hide it: "Yes! He saw that I was bored, and he also wanted to take a break, so he went out to sea for a day. He was lucky, and caught a tuna weighing more than 30 kilograms and a grouper weighing more than 20 kilograms. We had a full fish feast for lunch."
She thinks that good luck is one thing, but the most important thing is that the marine resources are very abundant now. It is not like more than 30 years later, when overfishing led to a sharp decline in marine resources.
Shi Xinyu pulled her arm and said, "Jia Xin, you must take me with you next time you go out to sea. I also want to go sea fishing."
Zong Shimeng was so happy: "If Jiaxin and Nie Zhan go out to sea, and you go with them, do you want to watch them show their affection the whole time?"
Shi Xinyu couldn't just stand by and watch them show off their affection, so she said, "I'm definitely going to invite Tao Yong along too! If they're showing off their affection, I can do the same."
She never compared Nie Zhan with Tao Yong. Nie Zhan was very smart since he was young and his family also focused on training him. Souyi now manages several companies. But her boyfriend did not rely on his family. He opened an investment company in Hong Kong and earned hundreds of millions of dollars with his own ability. It was also amazing.
Lu Jiaxin liked her straightforward personality: "If you guys also want to go out to sea, then let's go by ourselves, don't ask the men to come along, it's an eyesore."
Shi Xinyu's eyes widened, and she asked incredulously, "You actually said Nie Zhan is an eyesore?"
Lu Jiaxin thought there was nothing wrong with this: "We are going out to sea together, and they are just an eyesore if they follow us! There are only a few of us, so we can say whatever we want and do whatever we want. If we ask them to follow us, we will be restricted in what we say and do."
In fact, it makes no difference to her. It’s Zong Shimeng and Yu Meitong. The last time they got together, they both took care of their other half.
Yu Meitong asked, "Aren't you afraid that Nie Zhan will get angry if he hears this?"
Lu Jiaxin said with some confusion: "Why should I be afraid of him getting angry? He doesn't always invite me when he goes out to play with his friends!"
Shi Xinyu was unwilling: "If Tao Yong wants to go out with his friends and doesn't take me with him, I will be angry."
Yu Meitong didn't say anything.
Lu Jiaxin didn't say that their idea was bad. Everyone has different needs: "I definitely need to have my own social circle. But his friends can hang out together if they get along well, but if they don't, they can hang out separately."
She also felt that she could get along well with the three of them and had close contacts with them. If their personalities didn't match, she wouldn't force herself because of Nie Zhan.
Zong Shimeng smiled and said, "Nie Zhan doesn't live with his elders, otherwise when you get married, you will definitely be wronged with your personality."
Lu Jiaxin spread her hands and said, "I don't like being controlled by others. If Nie Zhan has a strict elder who likes to interfere in the affairs of the younger generation, I will definitely not marry him."
Yu Meitong was extremely shocked: "How could you be willing to give up such a good man like Nie Zhan?"
Seeing how good Nie Zhan was to Lu Jiaxin, many rich girls regretted not taking action because of Leng Mian.
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "If his family lets me suffer injustice and I don't stop it, then I'm not a good man. I'm a selfish person and I won't wrong myself for anyone."
Shi Xinyu agreed with her words: "My daddy and mommy said the same thing. No one can let me suffer any injustice. If Tao Yonggan bullies me, they will teach him a lesson for me."
Zong Shimeng was envious after hearing this. Lu Jiaxin dared to say this because she had the capital to do so; Shi Xinyu said this because she had the support of her parents and brothers.
Yu Meitong felt a little sad. She had been irritated by the Fu family several times. But her parents did not support her, and her fiancé also thought she was making a fuss. She was strong-willed and did not complain. Instead, she asked Lu Jiaxin: "Jiaxin, I want to go out to work. What do you think?"
Lu Jiaxin was a little surprised to hear her say that she was going to work, not to open a shop to do business. However, Lu Jiaxin agreed with her idea: "Of course, it's good to go to work, and I will be fulfilled."
Yu Meitong said with some distress: "But Fu Ye doesn't like me to go to work. He also said that a bag I buy is enough for several months' salary. He also said that if I want to have some free time, I can go dancing, learn flower arrangement and cooking, but I am not interested in these."
Lu Jiaxin did not comment on Fu Ye's words, but just said: "Don't you want to do business? How can you do business without working and without experience?"
Yu Meitong understood what she meant: "Jia Xin, I want to apply for a job at Wufu Jewelry."
Of course Lu Jiaxin would not object. Meitong really likes jewelry design and won a design award in college. She has real talent and is not just a lazy person like He Yanyan. She smiled and said, "Wufu Jewelry is short of people now. You will definitely be successful if you apply for the job. But you still have to inform Fu Ye about this matter first. Don't let this hurt our relationship."
"Jiaxin, thank you."
"Thank me for nothing, I didn't do anything."
Zong Shimeng suddenly said, "Jiaxin, your Green Forest is a retail business, and Chery is a fast-moving consumer goods business. Are you going to make ready-made clothes and children's clothing in the future?"
Lu Jiaxin nodded and said, "Yes, we have retail and fast-moving consumer goods. Ready-made clothes, children's clothing, and underwear are also indispensable. But I am studying now and don't want to be so tired. I will do it next year."
In addition to clothing and jewelry, she is also planning to get involved in cosmetics and perfume. Of course, she will not start a cosmetics company, because it takes a long time from planning to sales, which is too slow. After the stock market crash, she plans to acquire a cosmetics company.
Zong Shimeng said, "Jiaxin, I also want to make children's clothing."
Lu Jiaxin had this guess when she heard her question, and smiled and said, "Just do it if you want to! The market is so big, how big you can do and how much you can earn depends on your ability."
Yu Meitong said worriedly, "Sister-in-law, if you want to start a children's clothing business, I don't think my uncle and aunt will agree."
"I'll convince them."
