Chapter 519 Retreating to Advance
On the third day of the first lunar month, Lu Jiaxin and Nie Zhan went to Provence for vacation and stayed there until the Lantern Festival before returning to Hong Kong.

On the way home, Lu Jiaxin took Nie Zhan's arm and said with a smile: "When I graduate from college, you can arrange your time and we can go traveling together again."

With Nie Zhan accompanying her, she would be responsible for eating, drinking and having fun, and she wouldn't have to worry about anything else. And seeing how hard Nie Zhan worked every day, she also wanted him to relax a bit.

Nie Zhan smiled and said, "It's not me who has to arrange the time, it's us all who have to arrange the time."

The two of them had already agreed that Lu Jiaxin would take over Wufu Jewelry after the first month of the lunar year. By then, she would be in charge of three companies, and she would definitely not be as relaxed as she is now.

After Nie Zhan sent Lu Jiaxin home, he went to the old house again. At the end of last year, Mr. Nie asked him to bring Jiaxin home for the New Year. The result is self-evident. Lu Jiaxin was unwilling to go to the Nie family. Knowing that Mr. Nie was investigating him, Lu Jiaxin was extremely disgusted with the entire Nie family. If Nie Zhan hadn't been so considerate, she would not have been willing to continue.

Mr. Nie was very angry about this. When he called home during his vacation, he was scolded. This time when he returned to the old house, he was scolded again as expected.

Nie Zhan's face was also very ugly. He said, "Grandpa, Jia Xin originally promised me that she would get engaged to me after the graduation party. But after she knew that you checked her assets, she didn't want to get engaged to me anymore. She was worried that if she got engaged to me, she would be murdered for her money."

Mr. Nie paused, then said unhappily, "What do you mean by murder for money? Why would our family want to take her money?"

He was just curious at the time and wanted to see how much Lu Jiaxin had earned from the stock market crash. Murder for money? He thought too highly of himself.

Nie Zhan said rudely: "You know the current situation of Wansheng Bank better than I do. Once the internal problems are exposed, our family's assets will not be as much as hers."

Wansheng Bank's problems were exposed and it was at risk of bankruptcy. Only Wansheng Real Estate was left, but according to market value, it was not as rich as Lu Jiaxin's, not to mention that they only held less than half of the shares.

When Nie Zhan heard Lu Jiaxin talking to him about not getting engaged this year, he knew that he couldn't go on like this, otherwise sooner or later Jiaxin would break up with him because of the Nie family: "Grandpa, when you gave me the shares of Wansheng Real Estate, you actually divided them up. The problems and holes of Wansheng Bank should be solved by my brother himself, and I shouldn't always be the one to help with the aftermath; similarly, if Wansheng Real Estate encounters a crisis in the future, it will be my business and I won't bother you, brother."

Mr. Nie looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Ah Zhan, Wansheng Bank and Wansheng Real Estate are my life's work."

Nie Zhan also didn't want his hard work to go to waste, so he tried his best to help Nie Jingwen. Unfortunately, Nie Jingwen was a bad teammate, and there was nothing he could do. He couldn't throw both himself and Wansheng Real Estate into it, right?

In the past, he might have satisfied Mr. Nie's unreasonable demands. After all, Wansheng Real Estate was built by the old man, and it was okay to use it to fill the hole in Wansheng Bank. But now he had responsibilities to take on, so he couldn't just go along with him.

Nie Zhan thought about what Lu Jiaxin said, and he said, "Grandpa, I have done what I should do. I can't do anything beyond my ability. If it doesn't work, I will return the shares of Wansheng Real Estate to you. I have no objection whether you take charge of the company again or give it to my eldest brother."

Mr. Nie was stunned: "What are you talking about?"

Nie Zhan said bluntly, "You tried every means to get me to come back and take over Wansheng Real Estate because you thought that I was only capable of maintaining the status quo and not developing it. Now you always want me to help Wansheng Bank, so what's the point of me developing Wansheng Real Estate well? It will still be dragged down by it. If that's the case, why should I bother to develop it? It will go bankrupt in the end anyway, so I might as well run my hotel and clothing business well."

"Wansheng Bank does have some problems, but they are not serious. As long as they are resolved, everything will be fine."

Nie Zhan was also a little annoyed, and he didn't want to elaborate: "Grandpa, if you think the problem is not big and can be solved, then you go and solve it. I don't have the ability. Also, if you want to take back the shares of Wansheng Real Estate, call me before the end of the month." What he meant was that the validity period was only until the end of the month. He actually knew that Grandpa Nie would not take back Wansheng Real Estate. He himself was old and in poor health, and no one else could take on this burden.

After Nie Zhan left, Old Man Nie called Nie Jingwen and told him to come back immediately. When he saw him, the old man asked with a gloomy face: "How serious is the bank's problem? Tell me everything today."

After returning to the mansion in Repulse Bay, Nie Zhan went upstairs to take a shower. He was going to look for Lu Jiaxin after taking a shower and getting in a good mood, but when he went downstairs, he heard that the old man had fainted and was sent to the hospital.

Nie Zhan guessed that he must have known the real situation of the bank and fainted in a hurry. In fact, Nie Jingwen had followed his own advice and avoided the biggest risk. The remaining problems could be solved slowly. But he was too smart, and the problems piled up... Now even he is powerless.

On the way to the hospital, Nie Zhan called the lobby of Lu's house, but stopped calling when he heard the servant say that Lu Jiaxin was still sleeping.

Lu Jiaxin slept for more than two hours before waking up. She could never sleep as soundly outside as she did at home. When she went downstairs, she heard the housekeeper say that Nie Zhan was in the hospital and could not come over at night.

After dinner, Lu Jiaxin called Nie Zhan and asked about Mr. Nie's health. When she heard that it was a stroke, she knew it was caused by stimulation.

Nie Zhan said: "Grandpa already knew the true situation of the bank, which was much more serious than he knew. He fainted in panic."

Hearing that his tone was very calm, Lu Jiaxin asked, "It's not serious, right?"

Nie Zhan said it was not serious: "It's just that I can't use my left hand. The doctor said that I can recover soon after taking medicine and doing some rehabilitation. But the doctor told me not to be stimulated again, otherwise the situation will worsen."

Older people should avoid stimulation. A stroke is considered a minor illness, but some serious ones can result in direct death.

It's good that it's not serious. If it's serious, Ah Zhan should blame himself. Although Lu Jiaxin didn't ask, she knew that this matter must be related to Nie Zhan.

Lu Jiaxin said: "I'll visit your grandfather tomorrow morning!"

Although she was dissatisfied with some of Mr. Nie's behavior, she had been dating Nie Zhan for three years, and all her relatives and friends knew about it. If she didn't go to the hospital to visit him at this time, she would be criticized.

"it is good."

The next day, Lu Jiaxin went to see Grandpa Nie, and he happened to be asleep when she arrived at the hospital. Lu Jiaxin put down the flower basket and tonics, and comforted the tired Nie Jingwen: "Brother, you have to take care of your health, Grandpa still needs you and sister-in-law to take care of him!"

In fact, Nie Jingwen is pretty good. As a third-generation rich man, he has no bad habits and works diligently. His biggest problem is not his lack of ability, but his unwillingness to listen to advice.

 Happy Dragon Boat Festival, dear friends!
