Chapter 110
Two days later.
Gu Zhonghong, who had just finished physical therapy, answered the phone in the lounge. "Really? He used his connections to forcefully book a presidential suite? No, that wasn't my instigation."
"Master, are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so bad? Do you want to call the doctor back?" asked the servant.
"No need," Gu Zhonghong said in a deep voice, "Call Ah Kuo over."
"yes."
At this moment, Gu Jiangkuo was rarely not in the casino. Instead, he ran to another villa in the Gu family's house for guests to visit his grandmother.
Nuonuo would be here today. Grandma kept nagging him, so he told her the news. Gu Zhonghong, though a jerk, had suddenly begun to prioritize good deeds at this age. He had kept his promise regarding the care of Old Lady Wang, not making things difficult for the elderly woman. He had even assigned her two caregivers and a doctor to accompany her.
Grandma was well taken care of. She gained weight, had a rosy complexion, and had more energy when scolding people.
And there is a natural advantage here. When selecting caregivers, Gu Jiangkuo deliberately picked two who were not very good at speaking Chinese. They can understand daily expressions, but cannot understand grandma's swear words. At least this can avoid the trouble of some workers not trying their best to take care of the baby.
The villa where grandma lived was very close to the sanatorium building of the Gu family. When Gu Jiangkuo got the news, he followed the servants and rushed there.
This was his first time entering this building. The sanatorium built in the manor was like a hospital with equipment function rooms with various nameplates hanging on them, such as the X-ray room, the electrocardiogram room... It was also like home, with a comfortable and luxurious decoration style.
After entering the building, Gu Jiangkuo had only one thought: the lives of the rich are truly unimaginable to ordinary people. No wonder so many wealthy people can live to be over 90 or even 100 years old.
With tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars invested in medical equipment and personnel and top doctors providing protection, how can the god of death take away someone so easily?
Mr. Gu's complexion has improved a lot recently. His dark circles have lightened a lot, and his face is no longer so pale. He has temporarily gotten rid of the terrifying image of an old vampire. His energy and spirit are visibly improving. "A Kuo, since you took over the big client, have you done well in the casino?"
Gu Jiangkuo: "Thanks to Grandpa, I feel like a fish in water."
"Like a fish in water." Mr. Gu chewed on the words and spat them out. "Yes, you have your own network now."
Gu Jiangkuo immediately understood that this was referring to the presidential suite he had booked for Nuonuo. The old man was indeed monitoring him. Gu Jiangkuo was not surprised at all and even said frankly, "They are not really connections, just some cronies."
Old Master Gu said, "You are much better than Axin. I have trained him for so many years and wanted to let him go out and gain experience, but he is still a bookworm. He is treated like a 'young master' everywhere he goes. He can't win people's hearts. He is not as popular as you."
Every word of these words was a trap. Gu Jiangkuo knew that the old man was testing whether he had ambition.
He thought for a moment and said, "Axin is a proper young master. How can he compare with a wild boy like me?"
"You are also the young master of the Gu family." Gu Zhonghong said with ambiguous meaning.
"What kind of young master am I?" Gu Jiangkuo said loudly, "I've been recognized for so long, has the Gu family ever made it public?"
Gu Zhonghong: "You want a name?"
"Don't!" Gu Jiangkuo said hurriedly, "I don't want to be like Gu Xin, living under the media spotlight all day, having to maintain the perfect image of a playboy at all times. If I get close to any boy or girl, there will be a romantic scandal on the gossip headlines. My life is more tiring than that of a celebrity. It's so scary that he doesn't even have a partner now. What's the point of life?"
Mr. Gu couldn't tell the truth from his words for a moment. After a moment's scrutiny, he casually changed the subject: "Are you still in touch with your partner?"
"Yeah." Gu Jiangkuo seemed to be shy suddenly and only uttered a single syllable.
Gu Zhonghong asked, "So devoted? There are so many handsome men and beautiful women in the casino, don't you like anyone?"
"They're far inferior to my girlfriend!" Gu Jiangkuo said gruffly, "You've seen Nuonuo too. Isn't she pretty?"
“…That’s true.”
"There's one more thing I need to tell you. I want to move out for a week and take a week off from the casino as well," Gu Jiangkuo said half-seriously, knowing that the old man didn't want him to move out of the Gu residence. "My girlfriend came to see me and specifically asked for the presidential suite. It's tourist season now, and I went to great lengths to get one. You can't deny me the leave!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhonghong raised his eyelids and looked at him intently.
In fact, it is not necessary to be at Gu's house. As long as they are in the same city, his nightmare can be alleviated. It is not difficult to give the child a week off.
only……
"Are you taking leave from the casino as well?" Gu Zhonghong asked calmly, "You've just taken over a major client, aren't you going to maintain these connections?"
"What kind of connections are these? They're just gambling buddies," Gu Jiangkuo said nonchalantly. "We're just friends because we play together. What's there to maintain? But I only have one wife, and we're already separated. If I don't take good care of her... He's beautiful and rich, so popular. What if someone abducts him?"
The second half of the sentence was full of heartfelt words, spoken with sincerity and a bit of urgency, which made Gu Zhonghong believe it even more.
After all, this child was raised in a humble family. What kind of vision and ambition could she possibly possess? Furthermore, she even gave up her newly acquired casino to entertain her boyfriend. She'd resort to using her connections to such a trivial matter as booking a room. Such sentimentality seemed like she had no future.
Even if he has the ability to deal with all kinds of people, he is not to be feared and should not pose a threat to Gu Xin.
"Okay," Gu Zhonghong said with a smile, "I won't hinder you young people, go ahead."
.
Jiang Nuo, a close aide to President Jiang, was sent on a business trip, but it coincided with Xingxu Metal's first board meeting. Jiang Nuo had wanted to attend in person, but his subordinates advised him against it, arguing that they wouldn't be able to support all these executives. President Jiang then took advantage of the situation and took an early leave of absence.
It has been two months since I last saw Gu Jiangkuo.
Although they send messages, call and video chat every day, it can be seen that he is different, a boyfriend you can see and touch...Mr. Jiang is still a little excited.
They say that a long separation is better than a new marriage. Unable to control his excitement about the upcoming meeting, Jiang Nuo couldn't fall asleep on the plane, so he took out his laptop and tried to use work to calm himself down.
The power socket in the first-class cabin is embedded in the armrest, which is convenient for using a laptop, but unfortunately there is no Internet access. Mr. Jiang then took out the Shengchen New Energy stock price trend chart that had been compiled by his assistant. It was very good, and it was still rising steadily, and there were even two daily limit increases within a week.
This will inject a large amount of recovered funds, which can be used to continue investing in research and development.
However, Shengchen was registered under the name of Baimi Technology after all, so these matters still needed to be discussed with Gu Jiangkuo. Jiang Nuo typed quickly, writing down all the business secrets that were not convenient to talk about on the phone in the memo, and would tell Gu Jiangkuo one by one when he met him.
In addition to Shengchen, what also worried him was the board of directors of Xingxu Metal. He had read the draft in advance and said that he would open a batch of short orders at the beginning of the year. In his two lifetimes, Mr. Jiang had the most experience in real estate and financial products. Physical mineral development was a completely new field for him.
Therefore, even though he knew that risk hedging was a very common operation in this industry, he still felt uneasy, but he couldn't find any fault with it.
"Sir, your fruit." The sweet voice of the stewardess interrupted him.
Jiang Nuo glanced at the exquisite little fruit plate, but didn't take it. Instead, he asked, "No fruit, please give me a glass of white wine."
Mr. Jiang always refused to drink the wine on the plane because he thought it tasted bad. But today, he suspected that something was wrong with him. He was inexplicably worried about things at the company. Maybe it was because he was about to meet his lover and was too nervous?
Maybe a little drink would help.
After drinking half a glass of white wine, the inexplicable irritability in his heart was indeed suppressed, but Young Master Jiang did not drink too much. Just a little tipsy was enough. Drinking too much would delay things and make him feel uncomfortable, which would not be worth it.
The plane passed through the clouds and slowly descended.
The small square-like streets and house structures on the ground gradually became clear. The fresh heat of the tropical coastal city seemed to blow in through the porthole, and you could smell the sultry water vapor.
Jiang Nuo was still wearing the thick clothes he wore when he left Yanlin. Fortunately, he had summer clothes in the suitcase he brought with him.
After getting off the plane, he went straight to the locker room. The moment he changed into a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, he felt like he was on vacation, and Young Master Jiang's mood improved.
As expected, Gu Jiangkuo's reply came through on my phone: "I'm at Exit A2, you'll be able to see me when you come out."
Jiang Nuo replied: "We still have to wait for the luggage."
Gu Jiangkuo replied immediately: "No rush."
Then he posted a selfie from a deadly straight man's angle, with the caption: "I'm wearing this dress today."
Jiang Nuo laughed, "You're so tall, I can recognize you at a glance without having to see through anything."
Even though we can meet soon, we can't help but keep chatting.
After finally getting his luggage, Young Master Jiang put the large suitcase onto the trolley with some difficulty - he rarely went out without his assistant - and then walked out breathlessly with the crowd.
As expected, the first person I saw was Gu Jiangkuo, who stood out from the crowd.
Holding a bunch of bright red roses, she smiled with her white teeth, stretched out her long legs, pushed through the crowd, and ran towards him.
