Chapter 175

A month later.

The new chairman of the Gu Group finally completed the handover and handed power back to China.

It was still the same desk, and there was even some unused hand cream in the drawer of the desk. When President Jiang used him as a human cushion, he disliked the roughness of his palms, so Gu Jiangkuo quietly asked his secretary, Sister Wang, to buy some and hide it here.

After nearly two years, I'm finally back!

Gu Jiangkuo couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Mr. Jiang was even more impressed than him: "Is it really not necessary to give you a separate office?"

Mr. Gu’s office in Nanyang is so luxurious, but now that I’m back, I only have such a small desk. I always feel like I owe him something.

"No." Gu Jiangkuo flatly refused, "I'll just sit here." If he couldn't see his wife every day, why would he come back?

Furthermore, not only did Mr. Gu delegate responsibility and advocate for enjoying life, he also frequently dragged Jiang Nuo into his work: "There's always work to do. You should take some time off. After lunch, let's go home."

Jiang Nuo thought to herself: There is no end to work, and there is no end to love. I won’t fall for your trick.

"No, I have a meeting this afternoon." Jiang Nuo said.

"Then go home after the meeting!" Gu Jiangkuo made the decision for him.

So, at the afternoon's high-level meeting, the last speaker, an older branch manager who liked to speak in official language, was abruptly interrupted by his colleagues during his lengthy speech, and the meeting ended on time.

The manager was unhappy and asked his colleague, "I haven't finished talking yet, why do you keep interrupting me?"

"Mr. Zheng, he's doing this for your own good," another colleague said. "Didn't you see Assistant Gu is here today?"

"Ah...what's wrong?"

"Oh, you don't know? Assistant Gu has plans today and wants to get Mr. Jiang off work early."

"ah?"

"Boss Zheng's company was recently acquired, so he might not be aware of our Jiang's corporate culture. Boss Jiang is henpecked, and Assistant Gu always picks him up when he gets drunk late at dinner parties. Also, Assistant Gu has transferred all the handsome young college graduates from the office to the front lines. Tsk tsk tsk."

"So, Assistant Gu belongs to our CEO Jiang..."

"That's right! Madam President! Besides President Jiang, he's the second-in-command of the group, second only to President Jiang. ... Assistant Gu can be more at ease with safe-looking old guys like us, otherwise he would have transferred us out long ago, hahaha."

"So that's how it is! Thanks so much for that!"

.

President Jiang didn't expect that Gu Jiangkuo would control him so strictly after returning to Yanlin.

He has to report who he's having dinner with, check his phone every day, and even check the likes on Weibo. Now everyone in Yanlin knows that the Jiang family has strict rules and curfews, and people have to go home after 11 o'clock, otherwise the tall assistant Gu will stand at the door to greet them.

If you are unwilling to let Mr. Jiang go, that's fine, but you have to accept Assistant Gu's toast. Gu Jiangkuo has an absurd alcohol tolerance and he really lets go of the alcohol. He became famous overnight, so those business partners and Mr. Jiang's friends all admitted defeat.

As a result, Jiang Nuo now lives a very healthy life and has reduced his drinking habits by more than 50%.

Today, after the meeting, Gu Jiangkuo pulled him out of the company.

"Where are you going?" Mr. Jiang said reluctantly, "It's so sunny."

August is the hottest month of the year. Yanlin City is as hot as fire. Even though Mr. Jiang just moved from the air-conditioned room to the air-conditioned car, he still suspected that he would get heatstroke when he saw the scorching sun outside.

"Watch a movie." Gu Jiangkuo said, "You always think you're busy. How long has it been since you took me to the movies? Besides, today is a perfect day for watching a movie."

"What day is it today? It's not even the weekend. Besides, what's so good about movies?" Jiang Nuo muttered. "The censorship is getting stricter and stricter. They're not allowing this or that, which is seriously affecting creativity. There are fewer and fewer good films."

Gu Jiangkuo said, "You really don't remember?"

Jiang Nuo: "What?"

"Nothing." Gu Jiangkuo muttered as he drove, "You heartless little thing, I knew you didn't remember."

Because the complaint was too low, Jiang Nuo didn't hear it clearly and was still busy checking today's screening schedule.

"No need to check, it's already been ordered," Gu Jiangkuo said. "It's the highest-rated movie recently, a science fiction movie, a Hollywood blockbuster."

"Hmm."

.

We arrived a little late, the lights in the cinema were off, and there were already quite a few people sitting there.

Mr. Jiang was very polite and bent his body so as not to block the view of the people behind him. After sitting down, he found that the seats around him were all empty.

"How many tickets did you buy?" Jiang Nuo asked cautiously. Could it be that Gu Dajiang had watched some weird little movie again and was planning to have a movie theater show?

Gu Jiangkuo: "I bought a few more so I could have some peace and quiet."

"..." Jiang Nuo warned, "It's very uncivilized to touch people randomly in a public place like this, and it will also affect other people's viewing experience."

"What do you think I am?" Gu Jiangkuo whispered hurtly, "Do you think I have only dirty trash in my head?"

President Jiang looked at him silently, his beautiful eyes shining brightly under the fluorescent light of the IMAX giant screen, clearly showing the word "yes".

Gu Jiangkuo: “…”

Gu Jiangkuo curled his lips and said, "I'm just worried that some naughty kids will ruin the viewing experience. After all, this movie is suitable for all ages."

Only then did Mr. Jiang put aside his suspicions and focused on watching the movie.

This Hollywood blockbuster is quite a classic. Jiang Nuo had seen it in his previous life, but not in the cinema. It was taken off the screen a long time ago and he watched it on a video website over several days.

I have to say that the special effects are very beautiful. Even ten years later, few new movies can surpass them. The pictures are dreamy and the martial arts are cool. It is really worth the price of the ticket. You have to watch it on the big screen to enjoy it.

The main film was over, but the lights in the theater were still on.

Jiang Nuo hadn't watched a movie in so long that he had forgotten whether to show the Easter eggs first or turn on the lights. Gu Jiangkuo happened to come over and whispered in his ear, "Don't be impatient, the Easter eggs are really good."

"Oh, sure."

It seemed like everyone was waiting for the Easter egg, and no audience left.

The cast list slowly played out, and the ending song suddenly changed to a piano piece. Jiang Nuo quickly recognized that it was Debussy's "Clair de Lune".

He was very familiar with this song. President Jiang had played it at the annual meeting of the Jiang Group.

Is this movie Easter egg supposed to have piano music? Why didn't he remember it?

Just as Jiang Nuo was puzzled, the image on the big screen changed. It was a carefully edited video. It started with a line of large characters: "Two years ago today, we met."

The background shows President Jiang inspecting the work at the construction site and shaking hands with a tall, tanned young man wearing a tank top.

Jiang Nuo: “!!!”

Looking back at Jiang Kuo arrogantly, he snorted softly, "You little heartless guy, I knew you forgot the anniversary of our first meeting."

He said he disliked it, but he took the initiative to hold Jiang Nuo's hand with his big hand and said, "Keep watching."

Jiang Nuo had a strong premonition that Gu Dajiang might be...

Some of the footage was taken from previous media interviews, some from internal company footage, some from Gu Jiangkuo's candid photos, and even some from netizens. Of course, the famous scene from the concert where the two of them went viral was also included.

The process of the two people's acquaintance and understanding is displayed frame by frame with the accompaniment of Debussy's music, and finally stops at the picture of Mr. Jiang wearing a tuxedo and playing the piano. The spotlight shines on his body, and the man in the picture is noble and proud like a real prince.

At this time, the lights in the cinema were fully turned on, and the applause and cheers were continuous. Jiang Nuo then realized that Gu Jiangkuo did not just buy a few extra tickets, but simply booked the entire theater.

When he turned around, he saw several familiar faces, including Jiang Xiaomi with her big front teeth grinning, his classmate Rong Yi with a cold expression, and many employees of Jiang Group. The one in the front row who was so moved that he wiped away tears was his secretary Xiao Wang.

Before Jiang Nuo could take a closer look, Gu Jiangkuo pulled her onto the stage. Gu Jiangkuo conjured up a large bouquet of roses from nowhere, knelt on one knee, and took out a low-key and luxurious plain platinum ring: "Nuonuo, will you marry me?"

Someone in the audience reflexively started to make noises: "Marry him! Marry—"

Unfortunately, the booing was cut off by a sharp look from President Jiang and came to an abrupt end.

——The boss’s authority is quite sufficient.

At this moment, Jiang Nuo discovered that the ground beneath his feet was being used as a projection screen, with a line of small words projected on it: "You are my moonlight."

It fits in quite well with myself playing "Moonlight" on the screen.

Gu Jiangkuo maintained the posture of kneeling on one knee and handed over the ring again, his eyes shining slightly, as if he was looking up at his own moon.

"Okay." Jiang Nuo heard himself agree.
