Chapter 130
Jiang Nuo: “…No.”
Jiang Xiaomi chattered all the way behind Jiang Nuo, lobbying him, but President Jiang only stopped briefly at the entrance to let Gu Jiangkuo tie his tie, and he didn't even stop for the rest of the time.
Before leaving, he reminded me, "Adults have adult things to do. I don't have time to play with them. You shouldn't go either. Be sensible and don't be a light bulb."
After saying that, he left mercilessly.

Gu Jiangkuo hasn't been to the construction site for a long time.
At the beginning, he was one of the main project managers. In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed, and this place has been transformed from a group of dilapidated demolished houses into a high-rise building - the basic framework has been established.
The old town covers a large area.
"This area is for commercial buildings. We're planning to build the largest shopping mall in Yanlin City, and even the entire province, with a three-story underground parking garage, a cinema, restaurants, a supermarket, high-end brands, and a children's playground," Mr. Jiang said, his business chatter flowing. "This area is for residential use. It's expected to be completed within two years, but registration for the first phase of pre-sales has already begun, and it will officially begin next month."
When the project managers, foremen and supervisors saw the boss visiting in person, they all came over to report on the progress. After discussing the business, Jiang Nuo did not leave in a hurry, but took Gu Jiangkuo to check the quality of the project inside the construction site.
You know, Young Master Jiang has always been delicate and tries not to walk around by himself, but now, he wants to check every wall by himself.
He would also instruct Gu Jiangkuo from time to time: "Go knock on that place and see if it's solid."
Gu Jiangkuo didn't mind the trouble, and he just hit whatever Mr. Jiang pointed at. "It's thick enough. Are you worried about quality issues? Aren't there supervisors here?"
"I personally selected the supervisors, and Party A is always keeping an eye on things. However," Jiang Nuo sighed, "I had dinner with a contractor for an earthwork project before, and he told me about a story. They didn't realize until the building was almost finished that the wall coverings were so brittle, thinner than paper, that they could be torn off with bare hands. But the contractor kept saying it was a new type of insulation layer and that it should have been completed and handed over last year. They're still wrangling with it."
"So you want me to tear it apart by hand too?" Gu Jiangkuo couldn't help but want to rub Jiang Nuo's head out of habit, but his big hand hovered above his hard hat. He realized it was inappropriate and stopped, "No wonder you insisted on coming here during the holiday. Don't worry, our project has always been rigorous. I have the most say in this matter. I personally handled all the procedures such as environmental impact assessment, water conservation, road construction, fire protection, etc. All the procedures are complete, and the contractor has also been strictly reviewed. Nothing will go wrong."
"Maybe I'm too nervous." Jiang Nuo found a place to lean back - he was still a little exhausted yesterday and felt exhausted after walking a few steps.
Gu Jiangkuo tactfully massaged Young Master Jiang's waist through his clothes. Jiang Nuo leaned lazily against him and said, "Somehow, I always feel uneasy, but I can't find the problem. The pre-sales are obviously going smoothly... Do you think I'm taking too many risks and limiting the costs and cash flow?"
Gu Jiangkuo knew that Jiang Nuo was venting his stress, so he didn't respond rashly. He just listened quietly.
Then Mr. Jiang continued, "Of course I wanted to maximize my profits, so I created a gimmick in advance, using hunger marketing to pre-sell the houses, not selling more than one, just in time for the bank's loan repayment... Mainly because the purchase of Xingxu shares exceeded our budget. There's no other way, the leverage is a bit high... If something really happens to the house and we can't collect the money, this risky move that was once a huge profit will turn into a bad debt. I rarely take risks like this; I've always played it safe. But the lithium mine suddenly disrupted my plans, and I was in a difficult situation at the time."
Gu Jiangkuo understood. "After all, it's still a matter of money. Don't be afraid, Nuonuo. Not only will the funding chain not be broken, but even if something does happen, I'll cover it for you."
Jiang Nuo shook his head: "You don't know how much money is involved here."
Jiang Nuo guessed that Gu Jiangkuo was thinking about his dividend, but personal property could not be compared with the size of the company. How much could a dividend be? Tens of millions was already an astronomical figure. With such a fixed amount of pocket money every year, it would be enough to buy luxury goods every now and then. But for a company with a turnover of tens of millions, this money was just a drop in the bucket. Besides, he couldn't take Gu Jiangkuo's money for nothing.
"I was just complaining casually," Jiang Nuo said with a smile. "It's not that serious. Maybe I'm just worrying too much. If everything goes well with this project, I'll take care of the renovation of that small island in Fiji."
Gu Jiangkuo really wanted to tell Jiang Nuo that he had been coming to the Gu family for nearly half a year now, and how many spies he had deployed and to what extent he had infiltrated... In short, it was not just what they saw, that he was living a life of drunkenness and debauchery in the casino all day and at most taking care of the trivial matters of major clients.
But he knew that saying it now would only put pressure on Nuonuo, so he smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll rely on Mr. Jiang!"
In fact, finding someone who is trustworthy, understands, and is willing to listen to talk to can really effectively relieve stress. Jiang Nuo had almost finished complaining and felt a little better. He said in a cooperative tone, "Okay, Mr. Gu, you're welcome."
"I'm not Mr. Gu. I'm just your boyfriend, assistant, and bodyguard."
"Okay, Bodyguard Gu."
.
Young Master Jiang was exhausted, so the two of them inspected the construction site for half a day and ended their trip early. According to Gu Jiangkuo's suggestion, she wanted to carry her boyfriend out of the construction site in a princess hug, since he had plenty of strength. Unfortunately, Mr. Jiang was burdened with 18 kilograms of idol baggage, and he firmly disagreed - he couldn't even carry him on his back - and insisted on walking out.
As soon as I walked out of the blue fence, I received a call from Jiang Xiaomi.
...This guy has become bolder. I didn't secretly kill him in the morning, but now he dares to call me, and he is talking about the same thing, inviting Jiang Nuo to go for an outing together.
Mr. Jiang didn't have the time to play with children in the United States. He was about to refuse, but Jiang Xiaomi gave him a reason that he couldn't refuse. "Rong Yi has been tutoring me for a long time. I wanted to invite him to play or give him a nice gift, but he didn't want anything. He just wanted to see you. Really, brother, he has always admired you."
Jiang Nuo: “…”
Jiang Xiaomi: "Just consider it as a favor for me, brother, brother, you are the best!"
Jiang Nuo's head hurt from his cackling: "...Okay."
As a parent, I should thank them in person. However, Jiang Nuo said, "Forget about the outing. I've been very busy lately. Ask your little classmate if he has time tonight. I'll treat him to dinner first."
"Okay! Thank you, brother!"
Jiang Xiaomi hung up the phone happily, but heard that Gu Jiangkuo had not finished his call yet.
"Impossible! Why are you calling me again? I've been busy these past few days because I need to spend time with my wife... It's your fault that I can't catch up. Did you spend money on him?... Well, I have something to do and I have to go."
Jiang Nuo guessed: "...Gu Xin?"
"Ah," Gu Jiangkuo said, "but he's fine, don't bother with him."
Jiang Nuo: "Isn't he also asking us to go out for an outing?"
Gu Jiangkuo was stunned: "Ah...how did you know?"
Jiang Nuo: "With Jiang Su and Rong Yi?"
Gu Jiangkuo: "Ah..."
Jiang Nuo: "I promised to treat them to dinner tonight."
"No, please Rong Yi? Is there Gu Xin as well?"
"Maybe we can go together. I promised to treat him that day to thank him for helping Xiao Su with his studies. How could you go back on your word? It's just a simple meal. It won't delay anything. Besides," Jiang Nuo said, "things are completely different from what I thought. I'm a little curious now and want to go and see it for myself."
Logically, the sparks between the protagonists should have been growing stronger and stronger, so why, now, were they dating and inviting outsiders? It didn't feel like a date, more like a second-best option for one partner, unable to pursue their pursuit. Jiang Nuo felt as if, with his rebirth, the course of many things had gone off the rails.
This is something he would be happy to see happen, and if given the chance, he would be willing to be a witness.
Gu Jiangkuo didn't know what his boyfriend was thinking, but that didn't stop him from quickly sending a message to Gu Xin, "I'll give you a favor tonight, but you have to keep an eye on your Rongyi and don't let him look at or flirt with other people's wives."
Putting down the phone, Gu Jiangkuo picked up Young Master Jiang and said, "Let's go."
"!!" Jiang Nuo, "Why are you hugging me? Put me down now!"
As we all know, "holding" is much more tiring than "carrying", especially the princess hug, which requires extremely strong arm strength. Young Master Jiang is an adult man after all. Moreover, he doesn't think he is ridiculously thin. At most, he has a well-proportioned body, so his weight is not that light. It should be quite strenuous for him to be held like this.
"Aren't you tired? I'll carry you to the car. It's very helpful." Gu Jiangkuo said casually, "We're outside the construction site fence now. No one will see us."
"...The car is parked so far away, and you are carrying a big man like me...don't show off!" Young Master Jiang said anxiously. He was worried that Gu Jiangkuo would get tired, but more importantly, he was afraid that they would fall down together and get disfigured.
Unexpectedly, this only irritated Gu Jiangkuo even more. He showed off his skills by shaking the man up and down, then lowered his head slightly and whispered into Jiang Nuo's ear, "You know how strong your man is. Don't you know it best? What are you afraid of?"
