Lu Jiaxin took a bite of the fish first. The fish was tender and smooth while maintaining its fresh fragrance. She had eaten this dish in this hotel in her previous life, and it tasted far worse than it does now. After thinking about it, she felt that there were two reasons. First, the cooking skills of the chefs later on were not as good as they are now, and second, the ingredients were farmed, while the ones she ate now were wild.

After a delicious meal, Lu Jiaxin was in a very good mood and wanted to go out for a walk. Unfortunately, Gu Wenfeng stopped her, saying that it was windy outside and her illness was not fully recovered. If she was exposed to the wind, she might have a fever again.

Lu Jiaxin thought about her physical condition and had no choice but to give up. Not long after she walked out of the restaurant, she saw a group of people in black suits surrounding a man walking towards them.

Seeing the man's appearance, Lu Jiaxin couldn't help but blink. His eyes were dark and deep like black crystals, his face was neither too wide nor too narrow, and he was tall and straight. He looked handsome and elegant in a straight gray suit. Such a man would be the focus wherever he went.

Gu Wenfeng stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, and said with a smile: "Don't look, they are all gone."

Lu Jiaxin came back to her senses and said excitedly: "Brother Gu, let's go find the manager to find out the identity of this young master."

After searching everywhere for something, I finally found it without any effort. Good.

Gu Wenfeng paused, pulled her to a corner, and said earnestly, "Miss Lu, that young man looks either rich or noble, and he is not suitable for you."

He actually thought that she had taken a fancy to this handsome guy and wanted to get close to him. This, this was too much. Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "Brother Gu, I'm only fifteen years old, and I still have three years to go before I become an adult."

Who doesn't like handsome guys? But liking to look at them doesn't mean anything will happen. She just wants to make money to go to college now, and has no interest in anything else.

Gu Wenfeng saw that she didn't look like him, and said awkwardly: "The way you looked at him just now, I thought you liked him?"

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "If you meet such a handsome man, it would be a blessing if you don't take a second look at him!"

Gu Wenfeng felt that maybe he was too old to keep up with the thinking of young people. To ease the embarrassment, he said, "I'll take you back to your room first and then come down to ask."

Since I had misunderstood at the beginning, Lu Jiaxin asked me to find out the identity of this young man because she thought I could sell the things to him.

Lu Jiaxin felt that in Gu Wenfeng's eyes, she was just a fragile porcelain doll.

After going upstairs, Gu Wenfeng followed Lu Jiaxin into the house. After closing the door, he lowered his voice and said, "Miss Lu, do you want to sell the painting to the young man just now?"

Lu Jiaxin nodded: "The handsome guy just now, the clothes he wore and the watch he wore were all very expensive. People like him are usually generous."

Gu Wenfeng felt that the young man would not buy it, and even if he did, he would not pay a high price. As for the reason, he felt that people like the man were generally not interested in things passed down by their ancestors.

Lu Jiaxin groaned and said, "Children who grew up in Hong Kong may think that some of the things passed down by our ancestors are dross due to the influence of Western culture, but this does not include antiques and calligraphy and paintings. Brother Gu, antiques are valuable in times of trouble and prosperity. Rich people understand this principle better than us."

"Then why do you think he would pay a high price for your painting?"

Lu Jiaxin asked a question: "Brother Gu, what do you think a person will pursue when he is in a high position and has huge assets?"

Gu Wenfeng didn't guess: "What do you think it is?"

Gu Wenfeng couldn't help but ask: "Did your mother teach you these too?"

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "No, I learned it from books, and that's why my mother asked me to go to college. She thinks reading more can broaden your mind and see further, and you won't be bullied in the future."

Gu Wenfeng agrees with this statement: "Not only will I not be bullied, but I will also learn knowledge and become a useful person to serve the motherland."

Lu Jiaxin smiled and didn't respond.

After closing the door, Lu Jiaxin took out the tape recorder and the accompanying book from her luggage. She was not pretending, but began to read seriously. She was fluent in French, so she could communicate with people without any obstacles; she could speak English and communicate with people, but she couldn't keep up when it came to professional matters or when the speed of speech was too fast. So she studied very hard in the past few months.

An hour later, Lu Jiaxin felt a little tired. She stood up and stretched her limbs. Then she looked at her watch and found that it was past eight o'clock. She didn't know when Brother Gu would be back.

After a fifteen-minute break, Lu Jiaxin continued to do math problems. Mathematics was the biggest challenge for her, as she originally studied liberal arts.

Lu Jiaxin said to herself, "It's hard to learn from scratch. I'll have to hire a tutor when I return to the city."

She was not worried about the four subjects of Chinese, politics, history and geography, but she was worried about mathematics. In her previous life, she was not good at mathematics, and she only got 109 points in the college entrance examination after working hard. She had not touched the books for more than ten years, so she didn't remember much. But if she wanted to get good grades and get into college, she had to improve her mathematics.

Gu Wenfeng didn't come back until almost nine o'clock. He entered the room and poured himself a glass of water. After drinking it, he said, "The young man just now is Nie Zhan, the grandson of Hong Kong tycoon Nie Shiheng. This time he came here to discuss a project with the government."

Lu Jiaxin thought about it and was very confused. It seemed that there was no one named Nie among the rich people in Hong Kong in her previous life. Well, maybe she was ignorant and had never heard of him. "He looks young, but he can represent the company to discuss projects with the government."

Although I don’t know what project it is, but since it’s a collaboration with the government, the scale must be very large, which shows the ability of Nie Zhan.

Gu Wenfeng said: "He is 24 years old this year, has a master's degree from Harvard Business School, and is very capable. This project seems to have opened a branch in Pengcheng, and it is said that he was the one who facilitated it."

Lu Jiaxin felt that Nie Zhan had a long-term vision. If he came to the mainland to open a bank now, he would definitely make a lot of money as long as he did not withdraw his capital halfway.

Gu Wenfeng said, "Miss Lu, someone from the Nie family was kidnapped before, so they always bring many bodyguards with them whenever they go out. We can't contact him rashly, otherwise there will be misunderstandings."

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "There's no need to contact him, just get in touch with his secretary. We're here to sell paintings and make friends."

"Wouldn't it be okay to talk to the secretary directly?"

"Don't worry! Being a secretary to a rich young man means you'll get a high salary. You won't lose your job just because of a painting that ruins your reputation."
