Chapter 3
Jiang Nuo's hidden weapon wasn't accurate enough, and he lost his strength and dropped it halfway. But the advantage was that it was expensive. The housing prices this year were generally only two to three thousand, and the purchasing power of seven thousand yuan was quite considerable, and it really scared off a group of little hooligans.
While everyone was distracted, the situation of the battle turned around!
The deadbeat, armed with a weapon, had his hands tied behind his back by the tall young man, holding him down tightly. This twisting gesture was meant to be done with his back to Jiang Nuo, but he unnecessarily twisted the man 180 degrees, causing him to scream in pain like a pig being butchered.
Gu Jiangkuo wanted to take another look at the person who had just saved him.
But Jiang Nuo had already turned around by then, leaving him with only his back.
Li Qing could see clearly from his angle that Jiang Nuo was rubbing his hands with a bad look on his face. He immediately ignored his distressed phone and trotted after him, "Are you okay?"
"My hand hurts." Jiang Nuo blamed, "Your phone is too heavy." The first generation of Apple phones was thicker than later ones, like a square iron brick, and it was really suitable as a hidden weapon.
Li Qing: “…”
You hurt yourself, what does it have to do with me?! You threw my phone at me, and I have to apologize to you?
Even though he thought so, Li Qing still accepted his fate and apologized to the pampered young master: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Xiao Nuo, I scared you today. I'll treat you later--"
"Call me Mr. Jiang from now on."
"Tell your people to go back quickly and not gather here to attract attention," Jiang Nuo said sullenly. "Also, how many times has this happened? Who have you contacted? I'd like to see a detailed written report."
.
The yellow-haired man named Gu Jiangkuo scratched his head, "Why is Brother Li here?" He glanced at Gu Jiangkuo's lower body and sighed, "You're so lucky! ... I saw it, it's a real fruit machine, worth more than 7,000. It's a pity it was smashed to pieces. If it weren't for it, you would definitely be useless."
Gu Jiangkuo: "Do you know him?"
Huangmao: "Who? The young man in the flowered shirt, or that pretty young man with delicate skin and tender flesh? I only know the former. He's the one who hired us."
"...Oh." Gu Jiangkuo said sullenly, still looking in the direction where Jiang Nuo disappeared.
"Hey, big guy! What are you looking at?" Li Qing turned back, "Don't be distracted, you're going to strangle that old man to death! Let go, let go, let's go!"
.
In fact, Li Qing has always regarded himself as a buddy of Young Master Jiang. Many people in the company flatter him for Jiang Nuo's sake, which makes him very arrogant and dares to do anything reckless.
When Jiang Nuo found out that he was secretly asking the gangster for money, Li Qing was not too scared. He thought that at most he could just apologize to Xiao Nuo - he was still a teenager, so wouldn't it be enough to coax him?
It was not until Young Master Jiang coldly asked him to call him "Mr. Jiang" that Li Qing realized the seriousness of the problem. He did not want Jiang Nuo to become estranged from him, so he did not dare to neglect it and spent the past few days in seclusion to organize the information.
During this period, I also received a call from Ding Pingzhou.
Ding Pingzhou was still angry with Jiang Nuo. That day, Jiang Nuo not only beat him, but also asked the security guards to drive him away. He was simply rubbing his face on the ground. Why did Jiang Nuo do that?
Is it just because of his good looks? Or is it because of his spoiled young master's temper?
But... speaking of it, Jiang Nuo's sudden coldness that day actually made him unable to forget it. He always felt that Jiang Nuo seemed to have changed. The little look of not looking at people straight in the eye was particularly sexy. As a result, he dreamed about the pale-faced Young Master Jiang in his dreams these days... He missed him so much.
"Maybe I'm just a masochist." Ding Pingzhou summed up himself.
However, he did not intend to coax Jiang Nuo. After all, Jiang Nuo liked him so much, and he was not worried that Jiang Nuo would run away.
Besides, Jiang Nuo, to put it nicely, was the young Mr. Jiang, the one with the enormous inheritance. To put it bluntly, he was just a piece of cake that anyone could covet. What did he, a spoiled brat, know? When he encountered difficulties, wouldn't he still have to ask for help from me, just like before? I could even use this opportunity to teach him a lesson about his bratty temper.
Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement. Ding Pingzhou finally couldn't bear it anymore and called Li Qing.
He asked straight to the point: "Daqing, how is Jiang Nuo doing recently? Did he mention me?"
Li Qing was busy working, and was a little confused by the question: "You? Why did he mention you?"
Ding Pingzhou choked on his breath, paused, and asked, "Have you been to the company these days? Didn't you see him?"
"Yes."
"Yes, but he didn't mention me?"
"Yeah, no, not a single word." Li Qing still didn't know there was any ambiguity between the two of them at that time, and was extremely confused. "Why would he mention you?"
"Bang! --Beep, beep..." The other party hung up the phone angrily.
Li Qing cursed inexplicably and continued to organize the information. He thought that if he handed the lists to Jiang Nuo honestly, the matter would be over. Unexpectedly, the next day, after seeing the written materials, Young Master Jiang seemed even angrier.
"Do all those little hooligans know about this project?" Jiang Nuo wanted to knock Li Qing's head open to see if it was filled with water. "It would be fine if you just asked someone to collect the debt, but you openly used the Jiang family's name. Are you afraid that others won't cause trouble for us?"
Li Qing said hurriedly: "They are all trustworthy brothers, they won't say anything nonsense. Oh, right, there is only one person I don't know."
"It's the big guy who was the best fighter yesterday. We didn't have enough manpower, so we just picked him up from the construction site..." Li Qing's voice became smaller and smaller as he spoke.
Jiang Nuo rubbed his temples: "Don't worry about this matter."
"Ah?" Li Qing said, "Mr. Jiang, aren't you afraid that things will get out of hand? So you're just going to ignore it?"
"Now that the situation has gotten out of hand, perhaps a more high-profile approach can turn the situation from passive to active. Li Qing, come with me to the construction site tomorrow."
"Hey?" Li Qing muttered softly, "Didn't I just say that I don't need to worry about it?"
Jiang Nuo raised his eyes and said slowly, "I'm talking about this project. From now on, you don't have to take care of it."
Jiang Nuo: "But you have to clean up the mess you made."
.
Gu Jiangkuo has been a little absent-minded these days and was even distracted when loading the truck.
"Hey! What are you thinking about?" A coworker slapped him on the broad, strong back. "It's full, and you're still adding more? If you add more, it will all come out."
"Oh." Gu Jiangkuo came back to his senses and looked silently at the seriously overloaded cart. Instead of reducing the weight, he put his big hands on the handlebars covered with dried cement slurry and lifted it up easily.
"You can handle something this heavy? Not bad, Xiao Gu!" The worker was amazed. "You're really strong! ...By the way, I heard you were in a fight the other day? Or were you hired by a big company? Is that true? How much did you get paid?"
Gu Jiangkuo ignored him and continued pushing the heavy bricks forward at lightning speed.
"Hey, man, I'm asking you a question! Are you deaf?"
Gu Jiangkuo kept walking, his good-tempered demeanor unwilling to argue emboldened the migrant worker, who raised his voice amid the clamor of the construction site, "Ever since that day, you've been half-witted. Could it be that some little demon has taken you away?"
“…”
Gu Jiangkuo, who had been trying to keep things quiet just now, paused. The cart fell heavily to the ground with a dull vibration. He turned around and walked back, his brows gloomy. His sweaty vest clung tightly to his skin, revealing the outline of broad shoulders and narrow waist, making him look like a rough and rude beast that could easily tear out a person's throat.
The worker shuddered and admitted his mistake on the spot: "I was just joking! There must be no little goblins. I won't ask about your affairs anymore!"
Gu Jiangkuo didn't cause any trouble at the construction site and continued to work silently, but in his heart he somewhat agreed with the description of "absent-minded". Ever since that day, he couldn't help but think of that "lifesaver", as if his soul had been lost in him.
He had never seen a boy like that before, fair and noble, totally out of place in the dirty alley.
He appeared like a god descending from heaven and left just as quickly, beautiful as a distant dream. In fact, Gu Jiangkuo knew in his heart that the boy and he were from two different worlds, and there was no possibility of their ever meeting again, but he still couldn't help feeling a sense of loss.
However, he had no time to feel sad about the passing of autumn and the passing of spring. The little emotions hidden in his heart could not affect his work of moving bricks. In the high temperature of 30℃, Gu Jiangkuo soon broke out in a sweat again.
Until the foreman called him.
Gu Jiangkuo subconsciously refused: "I won't fight anymore." That kind of work is dangerous after all, and the scissors left him with lingering fears. In the future, he would not accept any job that has anything to do with "fighting", no matter how high the salary is.
Money can be earned slowly, but what will happen to your family if something happens to you?
Foreman: "No, no, this is a good thing! The big boss came all the way to see you—that boss looks like a celebrity, and he even brought a camera crew. I almost thought they were filming a movie, but I didn't expect it to be this! ... Oh, speaking of which, I'm a little sorry about that incident. Who knew those hooligans were so bold as to dare to swindle people under the banner of the Jiang Group!"
Gu Jiangkuo: “?”
fraud?
"I'm just worried about your family's situation... Well, I wanted to find you a lucrative job. Who could have guessed they were scammers? They haven't even paid you yet, have they? No, I'll help you complain to the boss about your poverty—he's here to offer his condolences on behalf of the company."
Gu Jiangkuo said truthfully: "I have paid you."
"Huh?" The foreman was shocked. "Didn't those thugs all run away? I can't even find them."
Gu Jiangkuo: "Yes, I gave it to you."
In fact, Huangmao seemed to want to cheat at that time, but Gu Jiangkuo noticed his intention and used some tricks - he almost crushed his hand bones.
That "Brother Li" was so scared that his face turned pale, and he paid the agreed "labor fee" on the spot.
In fact, the money and goods were settled. Gu Jiangkuo did not feel that the big boss had done anything wrong to him, nor did he believe that the other party would make any substantial compensation. However, it was difficult to refuse the foreman's kindness, so he reluctantly cooperated as a formality.
As soon as he stepped out of the cordon of the construction site, Gu Jiangkuo took off his safety helmet and wiped the sweat that was about to drip onto his eyelashes. He looked completely listless, like a large wild animal that had wilted in the sun.
Suddenly, a clear male voice was heard, "Hello, I am Jiang Nuo, the chairman of Jiang Group."
This voice...he couldn't have heard it wrong!
Gu Jiangkuo suddenly looked up and saw the savior who had caused him to be distracted for several days.
The young benefactor was fair and handsome. He stood in the shadow of the eaves of the supervisor's dormitory. His assistant held an umbrella for him, as if he was afraid of the sun. A group of subordinates in formal attire and reporters surrounded him respectfully, making him look like an aristocrat in a vampire movie.
Gu Jiangkuo suddenly felt ashamed. He looked down at his sweat-soaked tank top and stained overalls and suddenly regretted it. Why had he sweated so much today? He must stink right now.
Seeing Gu Jiangkuo lowering his head stiffly, the foreman beside him felt anxious. He quietly kicked the upper of his shoe and explained for him: "This kid is just like that. He is relatively honest and introverted. Don't mind it."
Li Qing, who was in the crowd, twitched his lips fiercely. "Who's honest and introverted? Are you talking about this ruthless and cruel living devil?"
The foreman reminded Gu Jiangkuo again and again: "Look up and speak!"
The sturdy young man, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, raised his head shyly. When Li Qing saw him raise his head, he couldn't help but shudder and quietly took two steps back.
When Gu Jiangkuo's eyes met Jiang Nuo's, his ears suddenly turned red and the corners of his mouth were pulled up stiffly.
When Jiang Nuo saw Gu Jiangkuo's face clearly, he was also a little dazed.
This face... looks so familiar, but he was sure that he had never seen this big guy's face in the alley that day. Besides, there was no way he could know the poor boy who made a living on the construction site.
So, where have you seen it before?
