Lu Jiaxin laughed and said, “The probation period is three months.”
If she proved to be capable, she would stay on long term; if her performance was unsatisfactory, she would be dismissed once Qian Xiaoxiao arrived.
Su Heyuan signed the contract with the manager, paid, and then let the two of them follow them. Since Guh Xiuxiu was waiting for her to return for dinner, she couldn’t have dinner with Su Heyuan.
Lu Jiaxin did not let Feng Lihua follow her to the Mid-mountain District, but gave her the keys to the Fuan Residential Area. “I’m staying in the master bedroom, you can choose any of the other two bedrooms. I won’t be there until Sunday afternoon, so you can take care of anything you need to do.”
Feng Lihua looked at her with surprise, thinking she was trusting her too easily.
Having hired her as her personal bodyguard, Lu Jiaxin felt there was nothing to worry about. Relatively speaking, her own safety was more important than material possessions. Moreover, there was nothing of value in the house, only books, clothing, and other daily necessities.
Seeing this, Su Heyuan also didn’t insist on having the bodyguard accompany him; it was hard to talk about certain things with a bodyguard around. He took out one thousand yuan, asked the bodyguard to purchase daily necessities, and then go to the Su family home to wait.
On the way back to the Mid-mountain District, Su Heyuan asked, “How did you choose this Feng Lihua? She’s neither tall nor particularly well-built, Ah Bao could knock her out with one punch.”
The bodyguard he had chosen was named Ah Bao, which sounded very imposing.
Lu Jiaxin smiled and replied, “Big Brother Su, you can’t judge a book by its cover. She might not be able to beat Ah Bao, but he can’t knock her down with a single punch either. I’ve seen her resume, she’s participated in quite a few security jobs, even protected the outgoing governor once!”
Su Heyuan was a bit skeptical, “If she’s that good, she should have no shortage of job offers. Why would she end up at a security company waiting to be picked? No, when I get back, I’ll have to ask the manager if there’s anything wrong with her?”
Lu Jiaxin gave him a look and said, “There shouldn’t be any issues, such a slip-up would ruin the company’s reputation and then who would dare to hire them? However, a check is needed to see what’s really going on.”

When Lu Jiaxin got back to the Guh Residence, she discovered that both He Mingzhu and He Yanyan were present.
The moment He Yanyan saw her, she lifted her chin arrogantly and said, “Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t rely on the He Family? Then why did you seek help from my sister?”
Just looking at her made one feel like smacking her.
Lu Jiaxin let out an ‘oh’ and replied, “In the entrance exam, except for a B in music, I scored A in all other subjects, some even A+. With these grades, I don’t need anyone’s help to get in.”
She had initially wanted to thank He Mingzhu, because having someone from the school looking out for her could reduce some troubles. But faced with He Yanyan’s mockery, she preferred dealing with the minor school issues.
He Yanyan snorted and said, “If it weren’t for Aunt Grandma getting someone, could you have scored so well?”
He Mingzhu sternly said, “Yanyan, don’t talk nonsense. Jiaxin’s grades are real, Aunt Grandma didn’t get anyone to help.”
Lu Jiaxin retorted, “Just because you got into Elite Girls’ Academy through connections, you think everyone else is like you.”
Rich families have good resources, and that’s something to be envious of. He Yanyan loved to dress up and show off; she didn’t focus on her studies and couldn’t have passed the exam, so her only option would have been to pull some strings.
He Yanyan was so angry she stomped her foot, “What nonsense are you spouting? I got in on my own.”
The response to her was Lu Jiaxin’s scornful laughter.
He Mingzhu saw that she stood her ground and thought she was too headstrong. After silencing He Yanyan and forbidding her to speak, she said, “Jiaxin, next Saturday is our company’s anniversary celebration. Since Aunt Grandma said she doesn’t have time, I would like to invite you and Haifan to attend together.”
Having said that, she handed over the invitation.
Faced with such a formal invitation, Lu Jiaxin couldn’t outright refuse. She looked at He Yanyan and asked, “This is your invitation for me, so don’t say again that I shamelessly showed up to your family’s anniversary celebration.”
He Yanyan originally wanted to say wasn’t it the case, but He Mingzhu gave her a warning glance, and the words that reached her lips changed. She said stiffly, “Uninvited guests are the ones who take advantage, but since we invited you, that’s naturally not the case.”
Lu Jiaxin then gracefully accepted the invitation and said with a smile, “Thank you, Sister Mingzhu.”
He Mingzhu’s main reason for coming over this time was to visit Gu Xiuxiu and to hand out the invitation along the way. She had visited Gu Xiuxiu, but she was feeling unwell and resting upstairs. Now that she had given the invitation to Lu Jiaxin, she soon left with He Yanyan.
Guh Haifan, who had made himself invisible until then, asked Lu Jiaxin after the sisters left, “Sister, are we really going to attend He Group’s anniversary celebration?”
Lu Jiaxin noticed the apprehensive look on his face and asked, “What’s the matter, you don’t want to go?”
“I don’t want to go; they will laugh at me,” Guh Haifan said. Having been in Hong Kong for over four months, he had learned Cantonese quite well, but his English was not good. People here liked speaking English, and he couldn’t understand it, afraid of making a fool of himself and embarrassing Aunt Grandma.
Lu Jiaxin nodded and said, “If you don’t want to go, then we won’t. But since you’re young and have only been in Hong Kong for a short while, it won’t be held against you if you don’t attend. However, in a year or two, you won’t be able to keep excusing yourself. Haifan, necessary social interactions and networking are important, as they not only improve oneself but also broaden one’s connections.”
Guh Haifan knew this was for his own good and nodded in agreement.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Jiaxin added, “Haifan, don’t listen to their words. Being well-born might give someone a higher starting point, but whether one can succeed still depends on the individual. You are smart and hardworking, and now you have come to Hong Kong to receive a good education. I believe that as long as you keep working hard and studying diligently, you will definitely achieve success in the future, and you will certainly be more outstanding than any generation of the He family.”
Guh Haifan was stunned for a moment, then recovered and said, “Thank you, cousin, I will do my best.”
“Why did Aunt Grandma go to rest so early?”
Guh Haifan replied, “Aunt has caught a cold and hasn’t been feeling great these past two days.”
Meanwhile, He Yanyan complained, “Big sister, inviting her to the anniversary celebration is already a great honor for her, so why bother sending her a special invitation?”
He Mingzhu knew that if she didn’t explain, this girl would keep harping on it endlessly, “It seems that Nie Zhan is pursuing her, which shows how capable she is. Yanyan, Lu Jiaxin is both talented and beautiful. It’s very possible that she will stand out in the future, so there’s no need to offend her.”
He Yanyan was astonished, “Nie Zhan? Are you talking about Third Young Master Nie from Wansheng Real Estate?”
Seeing her nod, He Yanyan started to laugh, “Big sister, which tabloid published this gossip? That’s quite a stretch. How could Nie Zhan possibly take a fancy to a mainland girl? Sister, you’re usually quite sensible; how could you believe such nonsense?”
He Mingzhu replied, “It wasn’t the news from some tabloid; a friend of mine happened to see Nie Zhan and Lu Jiaxin eating together at a French restaurant. Nie Zhan was very attentive to her, and when they left, he was smiling and seemed very close. Whether or not it’s a pursuit, getting to be friends with Third Young Master Nie in such a short time is not something to be taken lightly.”
If Su Heyuan were here, he definitely would have said, it’s like you’re ignoring my existence.
