Chapter 202 Extra 3 (7)
Extra 3 (7)
With Mr. Gu's connections, it would be very easy to find out the current situation of a "homeless person".
Jiang Nuo also knew that they had more important matters to attend to, and that pressing Xu Jiasi to question him now would be inappropriate. He didn't bother to argue further, and instead followed the TV station's instructions, cooperating to finish filming the documentary.
The crew first filmed speeches by several leaders and entrepreneurs who provided technical support. The scripts were prepared in advance. Jiang Nuo and Gu Jiangkuo didn't have many lines, so they just had to memorize them.
The big shots finished recording first, and then it was the prisoners' turn to film their daily lives.
In order to save time, the prisoners lined up outside the camera while the leaders were filming. So Xu Jiasi watched Jiang Nuo being interviewed in such a glorious manner. The prison guards, who they usually had to obey absolutely, also treated Jiang Nuo with respect.
As he watched, Xu Jiasi felt a surge of jealousy and resentment. Why, why could he never be better than Jiang Nuo?!
In the past, he had tried so hard to hook up with Ding Pingzhou, but unfortunately, Ding Pingzhou ultimately failed to help him achieve "class transition". Mr. Ding had always liked Young Master Jiang. Xu Jiasi was unwilling to accept this, but he had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and try to extort money from Ding Pingzhou. Who would have thought that the Ding surnamed Ding would be so ruthless and send him to prison.
How could he not hate?
Ding Pingzhou ruined his bright future! After Xu Jiasi was released from prison, he discovered how much resistance his status as a "released prisoner" brought him. He had trouble finding a job, and even his family disliked him.
His experience as a dropout in art didn't help him find a job at all, and it seemed that Xu Jiasi's only way out was to screw screws in a factory.
He used to think that studying was hard and was always unwilling to work hard. It was not until he went to the electronics factory that he realized what real hardship was - when he was in prison, he had lunch breaks, but here he had to ask for leave from the workshop director even to go to the toilet.
Xu Jiasi couldn't stand such hardship and resigned within a week. He argued with his boss but to no avail and was fired for "not working full time" without receiving a penny.
He simply gave up looking for a job and returned home to live off his parents. His family thought he was a disgrace, his parents quarreled over him every day, and his mother cried almost every day.
Xu Jiasi couldn't stand it any longer, so he ran out to find some "like-minded people" and fooled around with all kinds of men he didn't know in hourly rooms that cost a few dozen yuan, in strangers' homes, and even in parks.
After all, the truth will eventually come to light. He abandoned himself to such an extent that his parents and relatives finally found out what he did every day. That day, he and his parents had the most fierce argument since he returned home. His father finally stood by the window, lit a cigarette, and said viciously: "If you stay in prison forever and don't come back, we will pretend that we never gave birth to you."
That was the last straw that broke the camel's back for Xu Jiasi. He grabbed a fruit knife and rushed out the door. No one knew where he went. They only heard that Xu Jiasi had been looking for Ding Pingzhou's whereabouts for the past few days. Then, an inconspicuous piece of news occupied a small corner of the Yanlin local news.
"A man stabbed a homeless man in the street. Police have intervened and have ruled out the possibility that the man has mental problems."
It was a breaking news item of just a few dozen words, which not many people even paid attention to. However, Xu Jiasi sent himself back to prison because of this incident.
For quite a long time, he felt somewhat fortunate that he was back in prison. Although life here was also hard, at least he did not have to face the pressure from his family and society. Xu Jiasi even felt that prison was his secret haven, and staying here gave him a different kind of security.
Until he met Jiang Nuo again today.
He saw that the handsome boy was no longer the imaginary enemy he had imagined, but had become a high-spirited boss with a successful career, respected by others, and a deeply in love partner.
Xu Jiasi was jealous and suddenly felt that his life was a joke. He could even have a relationship in prison.
"I am such a worthless piece of trash." Xu Jiasi thought painfully.
.
After the filming was completed, Jiang Nuo and Gu Jiangkuo stayed for a while longer. Naturally, the crew and prison guards had no objections. Not only did they allow onlookers to watch, they also arranged comfortable seats for the two big bosses.
Their original intention was to take the opportunity to ask who the stabbed homeless man was, but they didn't expect to see a familiar face while taking pictures.
Li Qing.
In his previous life, Li Qing was highly regarded by Jiang Nuo, but later he colluded with Ding Pingzhou and helped him seize Jiang Nuo, causing Jiang Nuo to go bankrupt.
Jiang Nuo kicked him out early in this life and they had no contact for so many years. She didn't expect to meet him here.
Li Qing, wearing prison uniform, looked much more vicissitudes of life than he remembered. He was only in his thirties, but there were already wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. Standing in the line, he kept looking towards Jiang Nuo. After being scolded by the prison guards twice, he went back obediently. However, when his eyes met Jiang Nuo's, his eyes lit up again, as if he really wanted to recognize his old childhood friend.
To be honest, Li Qing has never started to cheat Jiang Nuo in this life. At most, he is stupid and can't do good things.
However, Jiang Nuo still ignored him and asked the police officer beside him: "Is the prisoner called Li Qing?"
The officer who was discussing the new system requirements with Gu Jiangkuo looked over and said, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Jiang, there are over 2,000 inmates in our prison, and it's really impossible to recognize them all. Let me call the prison guard in charge over to you. Do you want to call Li Qing as well?"
Jiang Nuo: "No, I don't have much friendship with him, I'm just a little curious."
Gu Jiangkuo took the opportunity to interject, "Why don't we invite the officer in charge of Xu Jiasi over to ask him about this? We have some connections with these two prisoners, so we're a little curious. Officer Sun, after we've finished chatting about gossip, let's get down to business. If that doesn't work, we can send two technicians over to record all the requirements you just mentioned. As long as it's technically feasible, we can provide them for you."
"Okay, okay! Thank you, Mr. Gu!" Officer Sun smiled happily. If these requirements can be met, their prison will definitely have no problem in the evaluation next year!
.
Under Officer Sun's instructions, the two prison guards told everything they knew without violating the confidentiality principle.
It turned out that Li Qing was imprisoned because of the campaign against organized crime. The Li family was originally the local tyrant in Yanlin, and he was imprisoned in the previous life because of the campaign. But in this life, a butterfly flapped its wings, and he started serving his sentence a few years earlier.
The homeless man that Xu Jiasi stabbed that year was recorded in the file and his name was really "Ding Pingzhou".
Until he left Yanlin City No. 1 Prison, Jiang Nuo still felt a little sad: the person who was injured and left with lifelong disability in the previous life was Gu Jiangkuo. In this life, he helped Mr. Gu Dajiang escape that disaster, but Ding Pingzhou encountered this experience.
Could it be that… just like the law of conservation of energy, there is also a law of conservation of chirps in this world? If you protect a chirp that should have disappeared, someone in this world will lose their chirp!
"What are you thinking about? Why have you been so serious since you came out?" Gu Jiangkuo couldn't help but ask.
At this time, the two of them were sitting side by side in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce. Jiang Nuo suddenly reached out and held him down.
Gu Jiangkuo: “!”
Jiang Nuo also shook it and said deeply: "I think you don't know what I have done for you."
Gu Jiangkuo felt he had received the hint and ignored Jiang Nuo's question. He raised his voice and said to the driver, "Master Liu, please hurry up! I'm not going to the company anymore. I'm going home!"
"?" Jiang Nuo said quickly, "That's not what I meant. You might have misunderstood! I meant Ding Pingzhou..."
But at this point, Mr. Jiang was stuck again. The events of his past and present lives were too mysterious. Even if he wanted to talk about them, he couldn't. This momentary pause only further fueled Mr. Gu's misunderstanding.
Gu Jiangkuo made an "OK" gesture and said, "Leave Ding Pingzhou's affairs to me. You don't have to worry about anything. Nuonuo, let's go home first."
Jiang Nuo: “…………”
President Jiang clearly sensed Gu Jiangkuo's growing excitement. Thinking it was his own misunderstanding, he quickly explained, "Listen to me, this is a long story..."
The result was an unconditional kiss from Mr. Gu Dajiang.
A kiss on the cheek, quite restrained.
Even the whispers floating in his ears were restrained. "Nuonuo," Gu Jiangkuo suppressed his excitement and said happily, "You rarely take the initiative like this. I'm so happy."
Jiang Nuo: “…………”
Very good. If I continue to explain now, won’t it destroy Gu Dajiang’s happiness?
Jiang Nuo was a little reluctant.
Mr. Jiang accepted his fate: "...Okay, go home."
It just so happens that I have no important plans for the whole afternoon because of an interview recording that I don’t know when it will end, so it’s no big deal to just go home and take a break.
Gu Jiangkuo playfully scratched his delicate palm with his rough fingertips. The thin calluses from years of weightlifting scratched his palm, causing a slight sting and a bit of itchiness.
Jiang Nuohui held his dishonest hand and thought in despair: How can I not spoil the old man I saved?
Mr. Gu is quite excited today.
As soon as he got home, Mr. Gu Dajiang gave the live-in nanny Aunt Mei a red envelope as an employee benefit and let her go shopping by herself.
In the whole afternoon, from the living room to the study and then to the bedroom, Mr. Jiang truly experienced several times how energetic the river was, which he had saved with his own hands.
Until he was so tired that he couldn't even open his eyelids, he seemed to hear the well-fed Gu Jiangkuo patting his chest and assuring him: "Don't worry, I will take care of the follow-up of that matter. If you eat melons, you have to eat the whole thing."
Jiang Nuo really wanted to ask "what it was" at that time, but he was too exhausted and too sleepy, so he just said "hmm" perfunctorily, and fell into a deep sleep with his head resting on Gu Jiangkuo's arm.
.
Three days later, when Mr. Jiang had completely forgotten the incident of 'Ding Pingzhou becoming Eunuch Ding', Mr. Gu efficiently found Eunuch Ding himself.
At this moment, Mr. Jiang is handling official business.
Jiang Group's last real estate project, Jingyuan Community, is already in the final stages of completion. Secretary Wang carefully arranged Jiang Nuo's schedule and repeatedly confirmed, "You've been so busy lately, do you really want to go there in person for the inspection?"
This is not the job of the big boss and is usually left to the supervisor.
But Jiang Nuo was very persistent: "This is the last project of our Jiang Group. There must be no mistakes. We must deliver high-quality houses to the people. It's not that I can find any problems by going there. Only when I personally inspect it can people take it seriously."
"Got it, Mr. Jiang. I'll make arrangements for you!"
Secretary Wang couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Before joining the Jiang Group, she always heard people say things like "rich people are not necessarily kind" and "rich people are not good people". She also heard stories about bosses finding various reasons to fire female employees as soon as they became pregnant.
But her child is in elementary school this year, and she hasn't found that President Jiang has ever treated any female employee unfairly - under President Jiang's leadership, even Jiang's drinking culture is cleaner than other companies.
Now, the group's president has taken time out of his busy schedule to visit the construction site in person, just to supervise product quality and live up to the hard-earned money that ordinary people spend on buying houses.
The more you get to know Mr. Jiang, the more you can appreciate his personal charm. No one in the company doesn't admire him.
"Nuonuo!" Mr. Gu suddenly pushed the door open and saw Secretary Wang. He quickly changed his tone and asked with a smile, "Mr. Jiang, what are you busy with?"
Secretary Wang immediately looked at Jiang Nuo, and after receiving his eye signal, she stepped out, leaving the space for the couple. However, as soon as she went out, she saw a dirty man standing at the door, and she almost fell down because of the smell on him.
Secretary Wang relied on his high professional ethics to avoid covering his nose in front of that person.
"Come in." Gu Jiangkuo ordered.
Ding Pingzhou moved out from behind him and looked at Jiang Nuo timidly.
"!!" Jiang Nuo, "What is this...?"
After so many years, Ding Pingzhou had become so shabby and haggard that his old friend could not recognize him. Ding Pingzhou replied in a hoarse voice: "Xiao Nuo, it's me."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked: "You called me Xiao Nuo too? Call me Mr. Jiang!"
Ding Pingzhou: “…”
"Why?" Gu Jiangkuo said, "Are you not convinced?"
Ding Pingzhou trembled his lips and called out "Mr. Jiang" very tactfully.
Jiang Nuo: “………………”
How could this still be the high-spirited young man who had driven himself into bankruptcy? In his previous life, Ding Pingzhou was thirty years old, dressed in a well-tailored suit, well-maintained, and possessing the charm of a mature man.
But now... why does this guy in front of me look like a 50- or 60-year-old old man? The smell is also quite touching. I don't know how many days it has been since he last showered.
And Ding Pingzhou was also looking at Jiang Nuo.
Mr. Jiang in front of him was still as handsome and noble as he remembered. His face, never exposed to the sun or wind, was as handsome and fair as before, just like when he saw him at their wedding seven years ago. Or, it could be said that he had not changed in his two lifetimes.
It always makes people's eyes bright, as if time is particularly fond of beauties.
He looked at Jiang Nuo, his lips moving: "Little..."
Jiang Nuo ignored him, but frowned slightly and asked Gu Jiangkuo: "Where did you dig him out from? He's dirtying my land."
Ding Pingzhou shrank back feeling ashamed.
Years of wandering had worn away his ambition, and revisiting his old place actually gave him a cramped feeling. Such a bright and clean environment only made him feel uneasy.
Gu Jiangkuo walked over, put his arm around Xiaonuo's shoulders affectionately, and whispered, "Didn't you want to finish this melon? Forgot? He said that if you give him a thousand yuan, he can prove his identity... The person Xu Jiasi stabbed must be him, not just someone with the same name."
Jiang Nuo looked at Ding Pingzhou in shock, "What do you mean by verifying your identity?"
"..." Ding Pingzhou looked into his eyes but didn't say a word. His face and ears turned red for the first time in a long time.
Gu Jiangkuo said with a bit of disgust, "I feel a bit disgusted too. He brought it up on his own initiative. Probably... you know, to look at the wound or something."
Jiang Nuo subconsciously let out an incomprehensible "Huh" and was about to refuse, but he saw the old man Ding Pingzhou standing there suddenly ran away!
"?"
"Oh shit?" Gu Jiangkuo tried to chase after him, but was stopped by Jiang Nuo.
Gu Jiangkuo: “?”
Jiang Nuo: "Forget it, forget it, I don't want to see any eunuchs, it's too disgusting."
Gu Jiangkuo thought so too, but still said mysteriously: "Although I haven't verified his identity, I can be sure that he was cut open."
Jiang Nuo: “?”
Gu Jiangkuo: "Did you notice? His hair is all tangled, but he has no beard!"
Jiang Nuo said honestly: "...I didn't notice."
Gu Jiangkuo: "I saw it! It's obvious! If a normal person can shave, he can cut his hair, right? It seems that the saying that eunuchs in ancient times had no beards is correct. But why didn't his voice become shrill and thin? It's still so hoarse."
"Maybe he's been smoking too much, or he's had a serious illness, like tonsillitis or something." Jiang Nuo made a wild guess. "But next time, don't bring someone like that to the company. Seeing him reminds me of bad things, and it affects my mood."
Gu Jiangkuo said anxiously: "Really? Nuonuo, I didn't mean it. I thought you wanted to eat the whole melon, so..."
"I know, I know," Mr. Jiang patted Mr. Gu's broad and strong back soothingly. "I remember now. It seems that's what happened. I don't blame you."
"Wife! You have such a good temper!" Gu Jiangkuo stuck close to her. "Look at you, not only are you pretty, but you also have such a good personality. Being with you is the luckiest thing in my life! ... You really don't blame me?"
"I told you I don't blame you. It's just a small matter, there's no need to get angry." Jiang Nuo pulled him away with disdain. "We're still in the office! Be careful."
"What's wrong with the office? A few days ago, during lunch break, we were in the lounge—Ugh!"
Jiang Nuo covered Mr. Gu Dajiang's mouth and got angry: "I told you not to mention that!"
Gu Jiangkuo hummed in understanding.
Mr. Jiang then instructed him, "Go out and see if Mr. Ding has left. And ask the cleaning staff to disinfect the areas he has walked on."
In fact, Gu Jiangkuo didn't appreciate his wife's shy appearance enough - she was wearing formal clothes, but her face was red, and her fair skin was pink. The more serious she was in front of outsiders, the more cute and delicious she was in private.
However, it would be better to avoid provoking the angry Mr. Jiang. Gu Jiangkuo ran out as instructed to make sure Ding Pingzhou was not wandering around.
.
Ding Pingzhou had already walked down the stairs to the fifth floor - he didn't even dare to take the elevator. He subconsciously felt that his dirty hands were not worthy of pressing the elevator button, and if he squeezed in openly, he would definitely be met with contempt.
He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Jiang Nuo again.
Ding Pingzhou thought he had long forgotten what shame was, so when Mr. Gu came to him, he not only agreed readily, but also asked for a thousand yuan for a physical examination.
One thousand yuan is enough for him to have full meals for a long time.
Over the years, Ding Pingzhou had given up his original identity to avoid debt, and gradually made a living by begging and rummaging through trash cans. He has lived in a daze until now. The "accident" two years ago even made him lose his qualifications as a man.
But Ding Pingzhou turned a disaster into a blessing. The police officers at the police station were very serious and responsible. They asked Xu Jiasi's family for a large sum of compensation on his behalf, and out of humanitarianism, they arranged surgery and hospitalization for him.
Of course, the surgery only saved his life, but did not restore his health. The root cause was that Xu Jiasi had acted too harshly, and there was almost no possibility of repair.
After learning the bad news, Ding Pingzhou wanted to die for a while, but he did not have the courage to commit suicide. Instead, after being depressed for a while, he finally figured it out.
Whatever, if he lived like this, what difference would there be between him and an animal? He wasn't even human anymore, so why would he bother worrying about whether he was a man or not?
Ding Pingzhou thought he would live like this for the rest of his life, neither human nor ghost. When Gu Jiangkuo found him and told him that he still had a chance to see Xiaonuo again, Ding Pingzhou agreed without thinking and even asked for a "physical examination fee" in a self-deprecating manner.
However, the long-lost self-esteem suddenly revived the moment he saw Jiang Nuo.
He still couldn't behave like a puddle of mud in front of Xiao Nuo, so when Jiang Nuo's shocked and contemptuous eyes shot over, Ding Pingzhou couldn't stay any longer and rushed out the door.
He now regretted it immensely. If only he had not gone through this experience and let Xiao Nuo see that the man with whom he had been entangled for two lifetimes had become like this... No, it didn't count as two lifetimes. Starting from this life, Xiao Nuo had simply cut off all ties with him.
"Hello!" It was Mr. Gu's voice.
Ding Pingzhou finally made it down to the first floor and paused. He had a natural fear of Gu Jiangkuo, but he couldn't help but feel a bit of anticipation: "What's wrong, Mr. Gu? Is it Xiaonuo... Mr. Jiang asking me to go back?"
"..." Gu Jiangkuo was furious. "Why did you ask me to go back? President Jiang was worried that you would wander around the company!"
"Let's go! I'll take you out!" Gu Jiangkuo complained, "I didn't expect Nuonuo to bother you so much. If I had known, I wouldn't have brought you back. What bad luck."
Ding Pingzhou: “…”
When they reached the gate of Jiang's headquarters, Ding Pingzhou finally lost his patience and summoned up the courage to ask, "Mr. Gu, do you believe in past lives and present lives?"
Gu Jiangkuo didn't even bother to give him a glance, and turned away. "If you have any mental problems, go to the hospital and try to scam people. We at Jiang's won't help you."
"Mr. Gu! You have liked Jiang Nuo for two lifetimes! Have you forgotten?" Ding Pingzhou suddenly shouted.
Gu Jiangkuo finally stopped and slowly turned his head to look at him: "...What did you say?"
Ding Pingzhou actually grinned, revealing a smile uglier than tears. "In my previous life, he died. Every anniversary of his death, you would fly back from Southeast Asia and spend the entire day at his grave. You even collected his clothes and personal belongings, even his used pens... Have you forgotten all that?"
Gu Jiangkuo: “…”
Ding Pingzhou: "Boss Gu! Gu Jiangkuo! I should have been alert and reacted earlier, so that Xiao Nuo wouldn't be snatched away by you... Ha, ha ha ha! Gu Jiangkuo! Don't think I'm talking nonsense. Don't you have a sense of déjà vu towards him?"
Deja vu...
Ding Pingzhou: "How did you fall in love with him? It wasn't love at first sight, was it? Do you think that's normal?"
love at first sight……
Gu Jiangkuo's expression gradually became serious. After a moment of silence, he raised his voice and ordered, "Security! Take him away! The farther the better!"
Is this guy really crazy? He's so weird. Nuonuo is so pretty, and he fell in love at first sight. Isn't that normal?!
