Chapter 17 (Revised)

Jiang Nuo slept the whole afternoon on Saturday and woke up when it was completely dark. He rubbed his short hair that was messed up by sleep and turned on the light in the dark. The warm yellow wall lamps lit up one after another, illuminating the stairs.

Jiang Nuo subconsciously glanced at the tightly closed door next door, then lightened his footsteps, tiptoed downstairs, and knocked on the door of the nanny's room.

Aunt Mei was still awake. Seeing her young master waking up at this moment, she smiled and said, "Young Master, you must be hungry. Would you like to eat first or drink some hangover soup?"

"Just cook a bowl of wontons." Jiang Nuo rubbed his temples and said.

In fact, sake doesn't have a strong aftereffect. He remembered that he only drank two or three pots. Everything was fine after a good night's sleep, except for a slight headache. It was just a little bit, nothing serious.

He was more concerned about—

"Aunt Mei, who changed my pajamas?"

"It's Xiao Gu," Aunt Mei muttered as she boiled water, "Wine is really not a good thing. Before the young master was eighteen, the master never allowed you to drink even a drop. Now that the master is sick, you indulge in drinking, which is really harmful to your health... Look, you drank too much today. As soon as you entered the living room, you made a fuss and wanted to change into home clothes. When we didn't hold you down, you took off your pants..."

Jiang Nuo: “…………”

He suddenly didn't want to listen anymore.

"Thank goodness Xiao Gu was here. He carried you upstairs. As for your clothes, he must have changed them in your room."

Jiang Nuo didn't actually lose track of the events, but his memory was a bit hazy, and he couldn't quite tell if it was real or a dream. Great, it's all connected now.

The body tends to get hot easily after drinking, and it was indeed him who insisted on taking off his clothes as soon as he entered the room. Later, in the bedroom, he stripped himself naked in a few seconds, which must have scared Gu Jiangkuo quite a bit - when Gu Jiangkuo was finding pajamas for him, he hardly dared to look up at him, and his hands and feet were as stiff as an XXXXL artificial intelligence.

"Little Gu is a really good kid," Aunt Mei continued to praise. "Whenever he's free, he goes to take care of his grandmother. He always rushes to help me with the chores, which makes me feel embarrassed. He's a down-to-earth person with a lot of strength. He could pick you up in a snap. But you're a little thin, young master. You need to eat more."

"..." Jiang Nuo felt so choked up that he couldn't even eat a wonton.

Was he... acting like a hooligan towards Boss Gu after drinking? Jiang Nuo really wanted to live on another planet.

.

Young Master Jiang originally wanted to find excuses to avoid Gu Jiangkuo all Sunday, but he didn't expect Gu Jiangkuo to go walk the dog early in the morning and then go to work in the garden when he came back. It seemed that he wanted to avoid him even more than he did.

Jiang Nuo: “…”

While Jiang Nuo breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt a bit more worried. He wondered what the boss had done to scare him. Being immoral after drinking is a disease and really needs treatment.

What's more, Gu Jiangkuo knew his sexual orientation, which made it even more embarrassing.

If only I could regain my drinking capacity from my previous life_(:з」∠)_

.

Early Monday morning, Jiang Nuo was awakened by the alarm clock and a bloated bladder. He got up in a daze, walked out of the bedroom, opened the bathroom door, and prepared to take care of his physiological problems. However, he was shocked to find that there was already someone by the toilet.

The tall bodyguard, wearing the home clothes he had personally picked out, was holding his penis while also solving physiological problems. Hearing the sound of the door opening, Gu Jiangkuo turned around, and was so frightened that the sound of water stopped.

Gu Jiangkuo's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Jiang Nuo: “…………”

Mr. Jiang slammed the door shut and thought to himself: Great, this "stinky, scoundrel" of mine scared him again.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of water running cautiously in the bathroom began to sound again. Jiang Nuo leaned against the door, thinking expressionlessly: I should have asked Aunt Mei to clean up the room on the second floor.

The design of this villa is so unreasonable. There is only one toilet connected to the bathroom on the entire third floor!

Another thought was, even if it was just a fleeting glimpse, it still gave me a glimpse of what he was like! ... He was indeed a nearly 1.9-meter-tall wolfdog, truly... astonishing!

This made Jiang Nuo, who was also a man, feel a little ashamed.

.

Arriving at the Jiang Group headquarters, it was another fulfilling day.

Monday was the usual meeting. As the time for summarizing the quarterly financial revenue report was getting closer, each branch and project team had to report on their progress. As expected, Huang Dongliang mentioned the p2p project several times.

This project was a small project that Jiang Nuo was given by his father Jiang to practice before he took over as chairman and general manager of the group.

The original intention was to train Jiang Nuo, but unexpectedly, Lao Jiang passed away and was admitted to the ICU. His life or death is still unknown. In addition, the investment environment changed, and the small project became a mess.

In his previous life, Huang Dongliang often used this failed project to cause trouble for Jiang Nuo. Even though he later overcame the difficulties with the secret help of the Ding family, the whole group still regarded him as a young man who was not capable of taking on such a big responsibility. As a result, for a long time, many subordinates did not obey him, the young boss Jiang, which added a lot of trouble to his career.

This time, Jiang Nuo did not engage in verbal battles with the old fox Huang as he did in his previous life. Instead, he maintained an unfathomable smile, remaining calm and stable in the face of adversity, as if he really had some tricks up his sleeve. This made his opponent feel confused. After a regular meeting, the vice presidents headed by Huang Dongliang all looked unhappy.

When they are in a bad mood, Mr. Jiang feels relaxed all over.

Jiang Nuo, accompanied by his confidant Wu Tong, returned to the CEO's office. When no one was around, Wu Tong couldn't help but ask, "Boss, while we don't need to pay attention to what Mr. Huang and the others say, we're still required to release our quarterly financial statements in less than two weeks. Also, that project is facing widespread repayments. Although some defaulters have paid back their debts under pressure, the funding gap is too large to fill. By then, this project will inevitably collapse. We can hide it for a while, but it won't—"

"Who said this project is going to fail?" Jiang Nuo interrupted him.

Wu Tong: "Boss, do you have a solution? But where can I get so much money?"

The Jiang family does have money, but forcibly transferring funds from other projects is not only illegal, but will also give the old guys more leverage to catch them. It is also unrealistic from the perspective of the amount of funds. Now countless p2p products have collapsed, causing customers to collectively demand repayment. That is a huge amount of astronomical working capital, and there is only half a month left. It is too late to sell the group headquarters office building, right?

Jiang Nuo said, "Don't worry about that. Someone will naturally give us money when the time comes."

Wu Tong: “???”

What the hell? Did those old guys drive the boss insane? What nonsense is he talking about?

Jiang Nuo didn't explain in detail. He just walked all the way to the cubicle outside the CEO's office. When he saw Gu Jiangkuo waiting there, he suddenly remembered something and said to Wu Tong beside him, "It's almost September, and the school season is about to start. Have we recruited any interns this year?"

Wu Tong was completely bewildered, not knowing why his boss's thoughts were so jumpy, but he still answered honestly, "Formal campus recruitment won't start until April next year, but we're already recruiting interns from some prestigious universities. If they perform well, those with internship experience will be given priority in next year's official campus recruitment."

Jiang Nuo: "Are there any students from Yanlin University?"

Gu Jiangkuo's expression changed when he heard this and he looked at Jiang Nuo.

But President Jiang's expression remained unchanged, as if he was chatting casually. Wu Tong smiled and said, "Yanlin University is the best local institution of higher learning, so naturally it has the most."

"Well," Jiang Nuo said, "tell HR that there's an intern named Wang Xuanhui at Yanlin University. Fire her immediately. Jiang's company will never hire this person again."

"?" Wu Tong, "Ah? Why?" Why is the president of the group picking on a little intern?

Jiang Nuo looked at Wu Tong indifferently.

In fact, Jiang Nuo was shorter and younger than Wu Tong, so he shouldn't have been very intimidating. However, a casual glance at him made Wu Tong serious. "I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, I talked too much. I'll do it right away."

Jiang Nuo stopped him and gave the answer instead: "Because the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams are crooked. The elders in this person's family are morally corrupt. I don't like them very much."

The words were said to Wu Tong, but they were not explained to Wu Tong.

Young Master Jiang is not the type of person who does good deeds without leaving a name. When he does good things for others, he would like to hang a banner and beat drums and gongs to tell the person who did good things so that he would remember his kindness.

After Wu Tong left, Jiang Nuo looked at Gu Jiangkuo with a smile.

As expected, seeing the gratitude in his eyes, so thick it was almost unmeltable... uh, gratitude, right? Why was this gaze a little too intense?

However, before Mr. Jiang could figure it out, his thoughts were timidly interrupted by his secretary Xiao Wang.

Xiao Wang said embarrassedly: "Boss Jiang, I still want to ask for leave."

This is the third time she has asked for leave in the past half month.

Jiang Nuo looked at her and motioned for her to continue. Xiao Wang smoothed the hair by her ears and whispered, "I have an appointment with a specialist and will go to the hospital for a checkup this afternoon. I haven't been feeling well lately, I..."

"Go ahead." Jiang Nuo interrupted her, "Your health is important, be careful on the road."

Xiao Wang thanked him profusely and left. Jiang Nuo stared at her back, not knowing what she was thinking. Gu Jiangkuo came over and said something to make conversation, "Sister Xiao Wang hasn't been feeling well lately."

As if realizing that he had said something nonsense, Gu Jiangkuo added: "Her face has turned yellow recently. Maybe she has liver problems."

Jiang Nuo: “…………”

Jiang Nuo held his forehead and said, "Don't tell girls such stupid things, or you'll get beaten."

"That's because she hasn't been wearing makeup lately. Without foundation, Asians naturally have a more yellowish complexion. Did you notice that she also changed into flat shoes?"

How could Gu Jiangkuo care what shoes others wore? But he couldn't help but look at Jiang Nuo's face.

It’s not true that all Asians have yellow faces, otherwise why is Young Master Jiang so white?

Jiang Nuo said regretfully, "Xiao Wang is very capable at work. If he suddenly leaves, I will really be reluctant to let him go."

Gu Jiangkuo guessed that Sister Wang was probably very ill. Although he felt sorry for her, he also wanted to seize this opportunity as a bargaining chip to stay with Young Master Jiang for a long time.

Gu Jiangkuo then said, "Actually, Sister Wang has taught me a lot. You can leave any work you have this afternoon to me."

"Leave it to you?" Jiang Nuo thought thoughtfully, "Yes, isn't it most appropriate to leave this matter to you!"

"You were by my side the previous few times. Now the time is almost right, so why not join me in closing the net?" Jiang Nuo said with a smile.

For some reason, Gu Jiangkuo always felt that his young master Jiang’s smile was beautiful, but it didn’t seem like he was holding any good ideas. He “had been around him several times”, so could it be related to that guy named Ding?

Gu Jiangkuo suddenly became excited.
