Chapter 85
Gu Jiangkuo seemed to understand Jiang Nuo’s answer as “as long as you don’t get angry, it’s fine.”
So much so that at the morning meeting the next day, no fewer than ten people asked Mr. Jiang, "Boss, why are your lips sore? Are you stressed out?"
Mr. Jiang could only vaguely say, "I'm getting angry."
But it wasn't him who was angry, but a guy named Gu.
Jiang Nuo is a little afraid of Gu Jiangkuo now. How angry is he... He may not be able to bear such a hot temper, so as soon as the holiday is over, he immediately packed up Gu Jiangkuo and threw him to the construction site, sent him to school, and in short, he must not be seen within sight.
Gu Jiangkuo was originally scheduled to accompany him to visit the lithium mine, but the accompanying person was temporarily changed to Wu Tong.
This week, Mr. Jiang was very busy. He visited several companies with lithium ore mining rights and planned to invest in them under the name of Jiang.
The Jiang Group initially made its fortune in real estate, but as its business grew, it developed from a "company" to a "group", covering areas including traditional manufacturing, real estate development, and finance. It even later held shares in a cosmetics company. Now it has expanded its business to mineral mining without attracting attention.
However, the decision to invest in or even acquire a company requires lengthy negotiations and investigations. After a busy week, only a preliminary tone is set. However, the remaining specific matters can be left to the subordinates.
After a busy week, Mr. Jiang will take a long vacation of about ten days - the school is about to have final exams.
After not seeing each other for a whole week, when Gu Jiangkuo saw Young Master Jiang again, his eyes were a little unbearable to look at - like a large wolfhound that had just started eating meat and had to go hungry again.
"Brother Gu's look at you is so scary. Why are his eyes glowing green?" Jiang Xiaomi's childish words were innocent, but rarely were they to the point.
Young Master Jiang subconsciously pursed his lips, then scolded the child fiercely: "What nonsense are you talking about? Have you finished your homework?"
Gu Jiangkuo came over and smiled ingratiatingly at Jiang Nuo: "After dinner, shall we go back to school?"
Although exam week is very scary, with eleven consecutive exams within eight days, every minute and every second cannot be wasted, and it is best to return to school to review as soon as possible. However, returning to school means that he must live in the same dormitory with the hungry wolf named Gu.
Young Master Jiang was now a little afraid of this kissing maniac. He vowed to defend his personal safety to the death and decided to delay for another day: "It's useless to go over so late. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Oh." Gu Jiangkuo said disappointedly.
I have to say that Jiang Xiaomi's summary was very accurate. Ever since Gu Jiangkuo came back, his eyes had never left Jiang Nuo. It was not until after dinner that Mr. Jiang made an excuse to go to bed early and went straight into the bedroom, where he had a good sleep.
But you can't escape the consequences. At around 7 a.m. the next day, Gu Jiangkuo offered a live wake-up call and righteously gave Mr. Jiang a reason he couldn't refuse. He listed the exam schedule and said, "Nuonuo, time waits for no one. Now's not the time to sleep in! Let's go to school after breakfast."
Jiang Nuo: “………………”
Jiang Nuo: "...I haven't packed my things yet."
Gu Jiangkuo said thoughtfully, "I packed everything last night when you were asleep: your favorite pajamas, a change of clothes, sheets, pillowcases, toiletries, mouthwash, a water flosser, and even ten pairs of disposable underwear for you. Is there anything else you're missing?"
...I even brought a water flosser, what loopholes could he find?
Young Master Jiang couldn't find a reason to stay, so he had to get up slowly. Finally, before nine o'clock, he got into Gu Jiangkuo's car.
The university campus is still the same as I remember. The only difference is that there are fewer couples taking leisurely walks and people on the basketball court. There are more students carrying backpacks and wearing glasses and rushing to the study room and library.
After all, it is exam week, and whether you can get a scholarship or fail the exam depends on this.
The first exam was "International Economics". The teacher was very nice and marked the key points in the last class, and he was very precise, so there was not much to memorize, and I should be able to do it by cramming.
Jiang Nuo studied very hard all day and thought that 60 points was enough - in fact, he could pass even with less than 60 points because he would also have his regular grades.
After the last "reporting incident", many people in the school now think that Jiang Nuo is a top student. Even if they have doubts, after seeing what happened to Li Fangzhou, they dare not make malicious reports like him.
"This one is almost the same. Maybe I can read Mathematical Statistics and Microeconomics in the evening and take the computer exam without any preparation, right? But there are no key points in Microeconomics. It's such a thick book, how can I memorize it?" Jiang Nuo was still muttering worriedly until the study room closed.
Who could believe that he, the president of a group, would really be afraid of failing the exam.
As expected, when it comes to exams, as long as you are in this environment, even if you have the idea of "donating a building to Yanlin University" as a fallback, you will still be nervous.
Because Jiang Nuo was so focused on memorizing his lessons, Gu Jiangkuo hadn't been able to strike up a conversation with him all day. Now, having finally gotten his chance, he hurriedly comforted him, "Don't worry, the teacher didn't highlight the key points, but I've taken notes and checked the final exams from the past three years. I've already prepared a strategy for you."
“?!” Can this thing be used as a strategy?
Jiang Nuo looked at Gu Jiangkuo with admiration, imitating Jiang Xiaomi's tone: "Brother Gu, you are awesome!"
Gu Jiangkuo's eyes flickered: "What did you call me? Say it again."
"Call me brother, Brother Gu." Jiang Nuo, still unaware of the seriousness of the situation, said excitedly, "You've already prepared a plan, so you can call me whatever you want! You're amazing!"
"..." After a moment, Gu Jiangkuo whispered, "You said that."
.
It gets dark very early in Yanlin in January. After eight o'clock, the only lights on are in the private restaurants and small supermarkets on campus, and the only lights on are in the all-night study rooms and the laboratory buildings used by graduate students and doctoral students.
During exam week, the all-night study room would definitely be crowded and full of people. Young Master Jiang naturally didn't want to go there, so the two of them headed towards the international students' dormitory.
Gu Jiangkuo, carrying two schoolbags on his back, interlocked his fingers with Jiang Nuo's as they walked along the path to the dormitory, saying, "Nuonuo, do you know what this path is called?"
Jiang Nuo: "Such a small road has a name?" He went to school here for four years in his previous life, how could he not know it?
Then Gu Jiangkuo said, "It's called 'Lovers' Road'."
Jiang Nuo: “…”
"Love" is another name because the road has good greenery on both sides and tall century-old trees. It is relatively hidden, so many couples like to come here to walk on the street, hence the name.
If that’s the case, the other small road next door is nicknamed “Baoyan Road” because it has no lighting at night.
Gu Jiangkuo said with some pride: "So this is a special road for couples. It is particularly appropriate for us to walk this way."
Jiang Nuo: "..." What's there to be proud of?
Jiang Nuo retorted, "This is also the only way to get to the library. The library closes at 8 o'clock, so there will definitely be a lot of people walking through here soon."
As if to prove his words, they soon saw a huge group of people carrying school bags and holding thermoses, coming against the current towards them.
These should all be undergraduate students who are cramming for exams at the last minute, and the undergraduate dormitories are just in the opposite direction of the international student dormitories.
Jiang Nuo secretly squeezed Gu Jiangkuo's hand and raised his eyebrows at him: "Am I right?"
Gu Jiangkuo: "You're right. I'll reward you by giving you an extra set of practice questions tonight."
Jiang Nuo: “…”
The two of them walked against the flow of people, so they naturally came face to face with the students. There was a street lamp every two steps on this road, and it was as bright as daylight. So, some people really recognized them - after all, they were Yanlin internet celebrities, and their reputation was well-deserved.
Fortunately, college students are relatively well-mannered and will not take secret photos or rush over to chat up people. However, Jiang Nuo still doesn't want to be too conspicuous, so he pulls Gu Jiangkuo to hide in the woods until they have avoided the peak of the crowd leaving the library.
But just as they reached the edge and turned their backs, someone called out to them, "Gu Jiangkuo! Is that you?"
Jiang Nuo: “?”
No way, they can even recognize them? How long ago was the concert video? How can a stranger still recognize them from behind? Are they that famous?
But Gu Jiangkuo turned around, frowned and asked, "Wang Xuanhui?"
Wang Xuanhui? That name sounds familiar... Tsk, isn't he the son of Gu Jiangkuo's good uncle? Actually, he's a senior, not yet graduated. He was once selected as an intern at Jiang Corporation, but was later disqualified by a single word from CEO Jiang. Why did Wang Xuanhui stop Gu Jiangkuo? Was he seeking revenge?
President Jiang felt protective of his son again, and calmly turned around, raised his chin slightly, and looked at Wang Xuanhui.
The Wang family has good genes, and Wang Xuanhui is also tall. Jiang Nuo is not as tall as him, but he has been in a position of power for a long time, and his aura cannot be ignored. Sure enough, Wang Xuanhui noticed Jiang Nuo at a glance, and then recognized this highly recognizable beautiful face. Is this the young president who plays the piano online?
"Jiang, hello, Mr. Jiang, you are here too." Even though she did not become an employee of Jiang's company later, Wang Xuanhui still subconsciously used honorifics to address Mr. Jiang, who was several years younger than her.
Mr. Jiang was quite satisfied. "What do you want to talk to Gu Jiangkuo about?"
Wang Xuanhui pursed her lips and said, "I have something personal to discuss. I want to talk to my cousin for a moment."
"?" Mr. Jiang wanted to say something, but Gu Jiangkuo gave him a soothing look and whispered, "Wait a moment, don't worry."
Jiang Nuo: "Okay."
Wang Xuanhui pulled Gu Jiangkuo deeper into the woods. Without beating around the bush, she exhaled briefly and said, "I've never liked you since we were little, and I still don't like you now."
Gu Jiangkuo: “?”
What's wrong with this guy? Why is he seriously trying to play some elementary school trick on him?
Then Wang Xuanhui continued, "But you are my cousin after all, so I still want to remind you. This kind of thing can't be explained clearly over the phone, but I went to your classroom twice according to the class schedule and couldn't find you..."
Wang Xuanhui: "Be careful of people from Nanyang."
Gu Jiangkuo frowned: "Nanyang?"
"Yes." Wang Xuanhui, "I just found out too. My dad was kidnapped by a Southeast Asian man a while ago. The man didn't want money or harm anyone, but he asked my dad a few questions about your father."
Gu Jiangkuo's expression was slightly serious.
It was Nanyang again, and it was his father again. Gu Jiangkuo inexplicably thought of the "rich family background" that Jiang Nuo had reminded him of before.
"You know my dad's a softie. He'll tell you anything when threatened." Wang Xuanhui pursed her lips. "So I'm reminding you, be careful of that Nanyang guy. I don't know what his motives are, so I've told you everything I need to know... Anyway, be careful. And, for my tip-off, if anything happens in the future, don't embarrass my dad."
After saying that, Wang Xuanhui turned around and left without waiting for Gu Jiangkuo's consent.
.
Blood ties were probably like this. At one point, Wang Xuanhui wanted to sever ties with Wang Weiguo, and because of a fight with his biological father, he became a campus celebrity. Influenced by public opinion, it was said that he even had problems graduating - no advisor was willing to take a "morally corrupt" student like him to work on his graduation project - but when faced with major events, he still instinctively sided with his scumbag father.
However, Gu Jiangkuo was too lazy to care about the matter between father and son. He returned to Jiang Nuo with full of suspicion. When Jiang Nuo asked him, he just evaded the question and did not tell the truth.
——According to Mr. Jiang’s personality, if he heard that someone dared to make things difficult for him, he would immediately mobilize a large number of people to stand up for him.
Young Master Jiang has always sided with his relatives, and he is that "relative".
"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Nuo asked.
"Nothing," Gu Jiangkuo said, "I'm just happy to be with you."
Let’s talk about it after the exam is over. Don’t let it affect Nuonuo’s mentality. No matter whether they are from Nanyang or Beiyang, they are not as important as Jiang Nuonuo’s final exam.
.
When he returned to the dormitory, it was almost half past eight. After a quick wash, Jiang Nuo changed into home clothes.
January is the coldest month in Yanlin. Everyone in the class group complained that the heating in the dormitory was just for show. They were freezing their hands and feet even when wearing cotton clothes indoors. However, the dormitory for international students was as warm as summer, with the heating set to 28 degrees.
No wonder Gu Jiangkuo only brought him short-sleeved thin pajamas.
It was only a little after eight o'clock, so naturally, she didn't want to go to bed. Ms. Jiang decided to continue studying, sitting side by side with Gu Jiangkuo at the study table. She pulled out her Microeconomics textbook and signaled to her boyfriend with her eyes, "It's time to start talking about the main points."
Unexpectedly, Gu Jiangkuo, who was well-behaved in the study room during the day, suddenly started to act unethically: "Just tell me?"
"?" Jiang Nuo, "What else? I have to bathe and burn incense while listening to your lecture?"
"That's not necessary." Gu Jiangkuo was amused, but looking at Jiang Nuo who had just washed, her skin was tender, her bangs were slightly wet, and there was a faint scent of facial cleanser.
Gu Dawei, the wolf who had just had sex a week ago, finally showed his true colors: "Pay some tuition, boyfriend."
Jiang Nuo: “!”
Jiang Nuo had a bad feeling: "What tuition?"
Sure enough, Gu Jiangkuo said, "Give me a kiss."
"..." Jiang Nuo said decisively, "No! Don't lie to me! A kiss is definitely not just a one-time thing. Last time you kissed me, my mouth was swollen!"
"..." Gu Jiangkuo's thoughts were exposed, but he was not discouraged. He readily changed his request: "It's okay if you don't want to kiss me, but you can let me hug you, right?"
This request wasn't excessive, so Jiang Nuo readily agreed. Gu Jiangkuo pulled his chair back, patted his strong thighs loudly, and said, "Sit down, let's review together."
