Chapter 190 -179: Opening an Account

Lu Jiaxin didn’t care about the Su family’s thoughts; she just wanted to know what Su Heyuan had planned, “Your family’s elder has immigrated, what about you? What are your thoughts?”

Of course, Su Heyuan wouldn’t leave, “Policy changes cannot happen overnight; the country is now focusing on the economy. As for Hong Kong, personal assets won’t be nationalized, otherwise, the wealthy would flee and the economy would collapse. Not to mention the loss, just the international impact alone would be unfavorable; those higher up wouldn’t make such a foolish mistake.”

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, “When I have money, I’m going to go back and invest.”

This meant that she was optimistic about Mainland’s development. Over the next thirty years, China’s development would be changing with each passing day, and one would hardly believe it without experiencing it firsthand.

The two chatted while eating, and by the time they left the restaurant, it was already past five. Lu Jiaxin had bought clothes, shoes, and bags, spending over twenty thousand yuan.

Having put more than twenty bags into the trunk, Su Heyuan joked, “Zhao Dajun said you spend money like water, did you know that?”

Lu Jiaxin wasn’t angry, she said with a smile, “The items I bought today amount to over eight thousand in Hua currency. His monthly salary is sixty to seventy, so my spending today is akin to ten years of his salary. If he were here, it wouldn’t be said that I spend money like water but rather that I’ve gone mad.”

Su Heyuan exclaimed, “Indeed, the gap between Mainland and Hong Kong is too big, but your spending today is still above average in Hong Kong.”

In Hong Kong now, the average salary of the working class is around three thousand, so Lu Jiaxin’s spending today is equivalent to half a year’s salary for these people. It’s not that Lu Jiaxin couldn’t afford to spend; with her earning ability, even a few times more wouldn’t be a problem. He just felt that Lu Jiaxin went from Mainland to Hong Kong without any transitional period and adapted to the consumption level here. It took him over three months to adapt, and even now, he looked at prices out of habit when shopping.

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile, “My aunt said a girl should dress prettily. Of course, pretty clothes should be paired with pretty shoes and pretty bags, don’t you agree?”

Su Heyuan added, “Just shoes and bags aren’t enough, you need some jewelry too. Next time we go shopping, I’ll accompany you to buy some.”

Lu Jiaxin shook her head, “No need for jewelry, I used my aunt’s card today. It’s better to buy them once I earn my own money.”

By the time they returned to the Guh Residence, it was nearly 8:10 pm. Guh Xiuxiu had already returned to her room, while Guh Haifan was still doing homework.

Su Heyuan brought over twenty bags into the living room and then handed her a black bag. Inside was the information Lu Jiaxin had requested, containing a list of the reputable secondary schools in Hong Kong.

Aunt Hong, upon seeing the more than twenty bags, nearly popped her eyes out. However, kept in check by Guh Xiuxiu’s reprimands, she didn’t dare to show her discontent, “Miss Cousin, shall Ah Mei and I take these things to your room for you?”

Lu Jiaxin picked out five bags, pointing at three of them, “These three are for my aunt, the remaining two are for Haifan.”

After agreeing, Aunt Hong said, “Miss Cousin, the old madam has asked the kitchen to stew bird’s nest porridge, keeping it for you. Do you want to eat it now or later?”

Lu Jiaxin was still quite thin and wasn’t worried about gaining weight even if she ate a late-night snack. She said, “Bring it up now; I’ll head upstairs after I finish.”

Her room had an en-suite bathroom that she could use for a shower, so there was no need to go downstairs again afterwards.

“All right.”

Lu Jiaxin was currently growing and could eat a lot, so a bowl of bird’s nest porridge quickly disappeared into her stomach.

Once upstairs, she didn’t go to bed but started reading magazines instead. Hong Kong’s press industry was booming, with six authoritative daily papers, many economic magazines, countless gossip magazines, and even more that were unspeakable. Nevertheless, Lu Jiaxin mainly read the dailies and economic magazines; she looked at gossip magazines mainly to stir up some valuable memories and to check out female stars’ outfits, which were often trend indicators.

Lu Jiaxin read until ten o’clock and then took a bath and went to sleep. The next day, as usual, she woke up on time and went downstairs to the back garden to practice her martial arts after washing up.

Guh Xiuxiu stood by and watched until Lu Jiaxin finished her routine, and then she asked, “What martial art is this? It’s different from what I’ve seen before.”

Lu Jiaxin said, “This is the Eight Silk Brocade. Practicing it every day can strengthen the body and improve health. My recovery has been so good partly because I’ve stuck with this martial arts routine.”

Guh Xiuxiu nodded in agreement, understanding that persistence in physical exercise is valuable. From this, she could tell that the child was very disciplined, “I have Haifan get up at six every morning to run. At first, he could only jog slowly and last about ten minutes, but now he can run for an hour.”

At her age, she switched from running to walking. When her health was better, she used to hike quite often. Now she can’t manage it anymore.

Now that it was summer, Lu Jiaxin was soaked in sweat after completing her routine. She went upstairs to take a quick shower before coming down for breakfast, where she found Guh Xiuxiu and Guh Haifan waiting for her, which made her apologetically say, “Aunt, Haifan, you don’t need to wait for me in the future. Just go ahead and eat.”

Guh Xiuxiu replied, “How could we do that? We’re a family, and we should definitely eat together at home. If someone has something to do or isn’t feeling up to it, just let us know beforehand.”

Lu Jiaxin didn’t like rigid rules, but since she was living in someone else’s house, she naturally had to follow their family’s rules, “Okay, Aunt.”

After finishing breakfast, Haifan left for his tutoring classes, while Lu Jiaxin’s tutor had yet to be decided. After eating, the two of them took a walk in the back garden, and Guh Xiuxiu said with a smile, “The shawl and hat you bought me are very pretty. I really like them.”

Even before seeing the items, she had a feeling this kid knew how to handle social interactions well. When she saw the three items Jiaxin had picked out, she was surprised at how not only were they beautiful, but also very suitable for her.

Lu Jiaxin politely said, “I’m glad you like them,” and then mentioned that she wanted to open accounts with a bank and a securities company. She explained, “The initial batch of shoes I sold made over seven hundred thousand. I took a two hundred thousand deposit, and gave the remaining five hundred and fifty thousand to Su Heyuan to help me buy stocks. Now that I’ve come to Hong Kong myself, it’s better for me to have my own accounts for convenience in the future.”

Guh Xiuxiu knew she had made over seven hundred thousand, but she didn’t know that most of the money was invested in stocks, “What stocks did you buy? Did you make a profit or lose money?”

Lu Jiaxin didn’t keep it from her, saying, “I first bought New World Development, and by the beginning of last month, it had risen by more than thirty percent. Last month, Su Heyuan got some insider news from his family that Amigo’s stock was going to rise, and with my consent, he sold all of the New World Development shares to buy Amigo.”

“Did you make a profit or a loss?”

Guh Xiuxiu didn’t like to follow financial news and hadn’t been out much recently due to poor health. At a gathering with friends a few days earlier, nobody mentioned the takeover battle involving Amigo.

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile, “I made a profit—a hundred percent profit.”

Compared to her aunt’s billions, this was just a small sum.

Guh Xiuxiu looked at her incredulously, “A hundred percent? How much is that?”

“After deducting taxes and fees, I made a net profit of one point ninety-eight million. With the capital, my account now has over three million nine hundred thousand. Su Heyuan thought it was inappropriate to keep such a large sum in his care.”

Guh Xiuxiu said with a smile, “Su Heyuan has been good to you, helping you make a fortune. Jiaxin, you should really thank him properly.”

“Once the money is transferred to my name, I’ll treat him to a meal.”
