Chapter 120

As expected, Mr. Gu did not agree to Gu Jiangkuo's request for leave, but he also knew that he did not have strong bargaining chips to retain him at the moment, so he had to compromise and persuade him with his feelings, and then promised him more management rights in the casino. Ah Kuo seemed to like gambling very much. According to the information reported by his subordinates, he gambled to his heart's content every day, and when he lost all his money, he would use his power to collude with the dealer to make up for his losses.

However, the amounts were small, so Mr. Gu turned a blind eye.

Sure enough, when Mr. Gu brought up the casino, Gu Jiangkuo hesitated.

Finally, the grandfather and grandson reached an agreement: Gu Jiangkuo would stay with the old man for a few more days, help select a few artists, and then return to Yanlin on weekends. He would only stay for two days before returning to Nanyang.

The result of this round of bargaining was actually similar to what Gu Jiangkuo expected. He had originally planned to go back once a week, but what the hell was going on with selecting artists?

Those perfumed male creatures at the door?

Does the Gu family have an agency involved in the entertainment industry? It seems they do, but why would they leave this matter to him?

The housekeeper, Zhongbo, stepped forward at the right moment and said, "Master Akuo, please come with me. It might be inconvenient here with all the people coming and going. The artists have all gathered in the back garden."

Gu Jiangkuo: “…”

This whole thing was strange. If the agency was selecting the artists, it should have been a professional agent who was in charge. Why would they hand the job off to the housekeeper? Mr. Gu didn't seem like the type to do something so erroneous. His so-called help selecting the artists seemed more like an excuse.

"Uncle Zhong, what's going on?"

Uncle Zhong didn't explain too clearly, saying only, "Master Akuo, I'm just following orders. Now that we've arrived, I'll take my leave. Please do as you please."

All the servants in the back garden were dismissed. These handsome boys wanted to rush over to Gu Jiangkuo when they saw him, but because they had been chased away by the ferocious young Mr. Gu before, they didn't dare to come forward and looked at each other hesitantly.

Gu Jiangkuo, who promised to help select artists but didn't even get the selection criteria: "..."

"Tell me, what exactly are you here for?" After staring at each other for three minutes, Gu Jiangkuo asked with a fierce face.

"Of course it's for you to choose." Gu Xin appeared out of nowhere and jokingly said, "Brother, how about I help you choose?"

Gu Jiangkuo didn't know why Gu Xin came to join in the fun, but the presence of one more person made him feel more at ease - otherwise he always felt like Sun Wukong who had accidentally entered the Spider Cave... If no one stopped him, he was afraid that he would not be able to control his emotions and kill all these monsters with his golden cudgel.

Gu Xin, with a mentality of watching the fun and not minding the trouble, arranged: "Come here, one by one, walk in front of my big brother. Big brother, the artist you think is suitable can stay, how about it?"

Since Gu Jiangkuo is cautious and refuses to have physical contact with them, it would be very interesting if the scene of selecting concubines was recorded.

Gu Jiangkuo agreed immediately: "Okay."

However, before Gu Xin could feel complacent, he saw Gu Jiangkuo take out his mobile phone and turn on the recording mode.

Gu Xin: “…”

The boys who were about to strike a pose: ...suddenly stopped being so excited in front of the camera.

Gu Xin: "Brother, what do you mean?"

Gu Jiangkuo said as a matter of course: "Record the work process." Then he instructed the boys: "Don't dawdle, hurry up."

The first person who mustered up the courage to step forward was a mixed-race boy with very three-dimensional features. He seemed to have appeared in some idol dramas and was somewhat famous. Even facing the camera, he was quite confident and raised his chin towards Gu Jiangkuo with a bit of arrogance, "How about it, Mr. Gu?"

Gu Jiangkuo said expressionlessly: "Ugly, next one."

boy:"??"

Everyone: “???”

This is ugly?

The boy stood there in a daze, feeling somewhat ashamed and angry, but he dared not say a word in front of the Gu family.

After Gu Jiangkuo repeatedly commented "ugly" eleven times, the boy gradually calmed down.

Gu Xin couldn't help but ask, "Brother, did you really look carefully?"

What he actually wanted to ask was "Are you blind?" Is this level of quality considered ugly?

Unexpectedly, Gu Jiangkuo solemnly listed them one by one: "This one, the nose bridge is too flat, not as high as Nuonuo, not good-looking. This one, the eyes are small, not as big as Nuonuo, not good-looking. This one is fatter than Nuonuo, too greasy. This one is thinner than Nuonuo, too dry..."

"..." Gu Xin held his forehead, "You mean, I have to look exactly like Mr. Jiang to be considered good-looking?"

"Just looking the same isn't enough. How can these people compare to Nuonuo? Who understands Engel's Law, the CRB index, or how to interpret a budget line and a break-even chart? Who understands investing? Who can manage a company?"

Gu Jiangkuo almost said, "They are all a bunch of idiots, no one can compare to Nuonuo."

Gu Xin painfully understood what he meant and felt that he had inexplicably eaten a mouthful of dog food again.

God knows, I came here to join in the fun today, hoping to avenge the dog food I was fed, and I also have a little secret that I don’t want to tell outsiders: If Mr. Jiang, whom Rong Yi admires so much, is cheated on, will he be pulled down from the altar?

Gu Xin wanted to witness with his own eyes that Jiang Nuo was just an ordinary person.

Who would have thought that the taste of today's dog food would be even better and more upgraded.

Mr. Jiang is a young talent to begin with. In Gu Jiangkuo's eyes, he is covered with a ten-meter-thick filter. He is extremely talented, outstanding, and so excellent that he shines. He has nothing to do with the word "ordinary person".

Apart from Jiang Nuo, I'm afraid no one else would catch his eye.

Grandpa's move really underestimated Mr. Jiang, underestimated Gu Jiangkuo, and even more underestimated the relationship between them.

.

Mr. Jiang is also very busy on a daily basis, and the company's affairs seem to never be finished. What's more, he also has to pay attention to his subordinates to investigate the financing feasibility of Xingxu Metal Technology.

After the feasibility study report was submitted, Mr. Jiang read it over and over again and could not find any problems. Overall, the chances of success were still relatively high.

However, he still felt inexplicably uneasy. His "sixth sense" made him feel uneasy about this financing. Finally, Jiang Nuo considered it for many days before making a compromise decision: to sign a gambling agreement separately with other shareholders - he always felt that the biggest variable was not the price fluctuation of lithium ore, not the productivity of the factory, but Wei Sizu.

This man seemed to be an elite who had returned from overseas, and he had a strong team left by his father. He seemed foolproof and a good partner to work with. However, Jiang Nuo felt that beneath his handsome, rich and handsome appearance, he was faintly unreliable.

Facts have proved that Mr. Jiang's judgment was correct.

When all the contracts were reviewed by the legal department to ensure they were foolproof and were taken to the investors for signing, they unexpectedly saw Wei Sizu having a pleasant conversation with an old acquaintance.

Jiang Nuo: "...Mr. Yu?"

Wei Sizu was surprised and said, "You know each other? Oh, you are worthy of being Brother Jiang. You have such a wide network of contacts. You even know the famous CEO of Boyue. Mr. Yu is an industry elite and a talented investor who returned from Wall Street..."

Yu Min smiled and stopped Wei Sizu from speaking. Looking at Jiang Nuo's expression, he asked, "Boss Jiang, why don't you welcome me?"

Jiang Nuo felt a headache whenever he saw Yu Min. He suddenly remembered that a few months ago, when Yu Min claimed to be "dating" him and gave him a big bouquet of pink roses, he had mentioned that he wanted to invest in bulk raw materials such as minerals.

So, meeting you today is not a coincidence.

"How could that be, Mr. Yu? Long time no see. I just didn't expect that you are the investor behind this. I'm a little surprised." Mr. Jiang said dryly, while quickly going over the bet agreement in his mind.

"He's one of the investors," Wei Sizu interrupted. "He put in a lot of effort in finding investors for us. We were able to find...sufficient investment in such a short time thanks to President Yu. He's a benefactor to Xingxu!"

Jiang Nuo: “…”

Jiang Nuo suspected that Wei Sizu originally wanted to say "savior".

However, it is not unreasonable to call him a "takeover hero". Xingxu does need a large investment to buy lithium mines to balance the large short orders opened before. Whether for short-term or long-term considerations, expanding production is something that must be done. Yu Min's investment is indeed a "godsend" for them.

"Mr. Jiang." Yu Min extended his hand gracefully. "We will be partners again from now on. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation this time."

The last collaboration was definitely not "pleasant".

Jiang Nuo looked at his hand raised in the air, and finally shook it, "Hope."

Yu Min took advantage of the situation and leaned forward slightly, getting closer to Jiang Nuo and said with a smile, "Looking forward to it."
