Chapter 20
The few pieces of document paper that Ding Pingzhou managed to snatch away during the fight were just the tip of the iceberg; the bulk of the money was stolen for him by the bribed waiter during the chaos.
After receiving a stack of documents, he rushed home without stopping, not even caring about the wound on his face.
Ding family.
Ding Yansheng was playing Go on his computer when he heard his youngest son rush back in and excitedly say, "Dad, let me show you something! It's definitely a big deal!"
However, Ding Yansheng didn't even bother to glance at him. After making a move, he snorted coldly, "If you have time, bring Jiang Nuo back to me. Jiang's is such a big company, it should be easy for you to get it... You don't even care about such a big business, and you still have the nerve to mention business to me? Wait - what's wrong with your face?"
Ding Pingzhou subconsciously shielded his panda eyes. "Let's not worry about this for now. Dad, do you know Jinchuang Building?"
Ding Yansheng stared at his son's face, took a deep breath, and said sternly: "Of course I know. It is said to be built into a landmark building and to create the largest business district in Yanlin. Now the price is ridiculous." Many people saw the Feng Shui treasure land and poured hot money into it for investment, but Ding Yansheng did not think so.
Ding Yansheng is an old businessman with a keen business intuition. When the bidding for Jinchuang Building started, he conducted an investigation and concluded that he was not optimistic about its future development. Moreover, the price was now inflated, so it was not a good time to buy it.
Ding Pingzhou: "I've received inside information that the area around the Jinchuang Building will be renovated in the future. Yanlin City plans to invest 500 billion yuan in this area, including but not limited to a cultural and art exhibition hall and an amusement park. Once these are completed, the most suitable building for the high-end supporting business district will be the landmark Jinchuang Building."
"..." Ding Yansheng couldn't help but frown at his son's eloquent speech. "Where did you hear this fake news? It's so convincing. How come I haven't heard anything about it?"
"If you don't believe me, look!" Ding Pingzhou handed the stack of documents to his father.
When he first saw these documents, he was so excited that he couldn't calm down for a long time. He couldn't wait to run to his father to show them. Sure enough, after Ding Yansheng hurriedly scanned two pieces of document paper, he threw away the unfinished game of chess. When the computer sounded the reminder to finish the game, he ignored it.
Ding Yansheng read all the documents in one breath without Ding Pingzhou's persuasion. He asked with a complicated expression, "Where did these things come from?"
Ding Pingzhou answered irrelevantly: "Don't worry about where they came from. I'm just asking, are these documents credible? I'm not very knowledgeable and haven't read much professional material. From your perspective, are these documents authentic?"
Ding Yansheng was silent for a moment: "It seems real."
In fact, he was being more tactful. Both the format and the data were too real. If it was a fake document... the other party must be a genius to be able to create such a perfect fake document.
Ding Pingzhou said with some pride: "Dad, didn't you ask me where the scar on my face came from? I'll tell you now..."
Ding Pingzhou briefly recounted what had happened today, embellishing it a bit, omitting the part about him and Gu Jiangkuo's jealous rivalry and instead focusing on his battle of wits and courage for the documents, including his heroic injury. However, Ding Yansheng paid no attention to any of this and simply asked, "Did you see clearly? Was that really Director Zhen?"
"It's true. They talked for a long time. When I left, they still hadn't come out of the room."
"Is that so." Ding Yansheng fell into deep thought, picked up the documents again and read them again. The documents Ding Pingzhou brought back were not complete and coherent, but it could be seen that part of them were the preparations made by Jiang's company for the bidding for Jinchuang Building, and the other part was the proposed relocation plan of Jiang's group headquarters. Coincidentally, there was also a document about the Yanlin City plan, but that document was not in the form of a document, but a hand-typed memorandum. However, this actually added to the authenticity of the matter.
If it is true, then the headquarters of Jiang Group near Jinchuang Building is indeed going to be relocated to make room for the new business district. In this case, it is logical for Jiang Nuo to have a relationship with Director Zhen - Ding Yansheng does not believe that a young man who is not even 20 years old can hire Director Zhen, who is notoriously difficult to deal with.
With so many coincidences happening at the same time, even Ding Yansheng believed it about 70%.
But not everything can be finalized easily based on a few pieces of paper; he still needs further confirmation.
"How is it, Dad? Is it a big deal?" Ding Pingzhou said, suppressing his excitement.
"What big deal? It's not decided yet," Ding Yansheng said without showing any emotion, but warned, "Don't tell anyone about this, not even your eldest brother for now."
This means you have to go and find out in person.
Ding Pingzhou thought to himself: I won't tell Big Brother. This insider information is worth hundreds of millions. How can I share the credit with Big Brother? He has shown his face in front of his father this time. In the future, his father will rely on him more and give him more say in the company. Let Jiang Nuo see his success. Maybe... then Xiao Nuo will regret treating him like this.
.
Gu Jiangkuo reported the details of that day to Jiang Nuo, and maintained a tacit understanding with Ding Pingzhou on a certain point - he did not mention that their initial conflict was because of Jiang Nuo's jealousy.
Regardless of the process, Young Master Jiang was very satisfied with the result. In addition to his daily work, he also asked Gu Jiangkuo to prepare for the subsequent bidding for the Jinchuang Building. He seemed very confident in Gu Jiangkuo's talent in business, and asked his professional subordinates in the marketing department to teach him while preparing the bid.
The employees of the marketing department did not think that the boss's personal bodyguard really needed to learn any business knowledge. They just thought of him as a supervisor sent by General Manager Jiang, so they were very enthusiastic about Gu Jiangkuo, answering all the professional knowledge he asked about, and trying hard to establish a good relationship with him.
At the same time, the news spread throughout the company that their young new president was determined to acquire the Jinchuang Building. The news soon reached the ears of the Ding Group, making them more convinced that Jiang Nuo had obtained accurate insider information, but that was a story for later.
Gu Jiangkuo was quick to learn. He would spend half a day reporting to the marketing department every day, and he would have sorted out the bidding process and many details. Moreover, he would usually spend this half day when Jiang Nuo was not in a meeting.
Therefore, every time Mr. Jiang came back, he would always see his bodyguard, who was inexplicably like the large dog Wangcai who would wait for him to come home regardless of weather conditions.
It is well-behaved and big, fierce to others, but loyal and passionate only to itself.
As expected, when he saw Jiang Nuo coming back, Gu Jiangkuo's eyes lit up. Although there was no change in his facial muscles, one could feel his sudden joy.
Gu Jiangkuo stood up and said, "The young master is back."
When no one was around, he still stubbornly called him Young Master. Jiang Nuo was too lazy to correct him and asked, "Did you go to the marketing department today? How was the progress?"
Gu Jiangkuo reported everything in detail as usual, and Jiang Nuo listened lazily with his chin in his hand. During this time, Gu Jiangkuo skillfully made a cup of hand-brewed coffee for Young Master Jiang, and even learned how to use a milk frother.
Jiang Nuo picked up the coffee, took a sip, and praised: "Not bad, your skills are getting better and better." A big boss is a big boss, he learns things quickly. If he were to be a full-time coffee and pastry chef, maybe he could become a chef in a Michelin restaurant in the future.
"By the way," Jiang Nuo licked the milky white stains off his lips and said, "school starts in half a month. What are your plans?"
Gu Jiangkuo: “?”
Jiang Nuo had been busy for most of the day and was a little tired. He leaned back in the large leather chair and spoke lazily, "If you have time, come read with me."
"I've removed all the decorations that Old Jiang had put on the bookshelf and replaced them with some more practical books. Go and take a look." After spending a long time together, Young Master Jiang's true nature gradually showed up. He was no longer respectful to the boss and would occasionally use the commanding tone that he had been accustomed to since childhood.
Fortunately, Gu Jiangkuo was happy with it and did not feel offended.
Boss Gu stood up obediently and turned to the two rows of hollow-design bookshelves that looked like a background wall. Sure enough, he found that the original "Management", "Competitive Strategy", and even "One Hundred Years of Solitude" had been replaced with "Advanced Mathematics", "Linear Algebra", "College English (I)" and "Macroeconomics".
Gu Jiangkuo took out a brand new copy of "Basics of Computer Applications" and asked in surprise, "Is this... a college textbook?"
"Yes, study on your own when you have time." Jiang Nuo said, "After school starts in September, I will report to Yanlin University. I won't be like ordinary students who have to attend every class, but I will try my best to get enough credits. You are my personal bodyguard, so of course you have to follow me to protect my safety."
Jiang Nuo coughed lightly, lowered his eyes, and played with the coffee cup. "You have to accompany me to class anyway, so why not take your degree certificate while you're there? Don't worry about your student status, it's already been restored for you."
“…”
After not hearing the other party's response for a long time, Jiang Nuo was a little panicked. Would the boss blame him for taking the initiative? Could this be a self-defeating thing?
He raised his head nervously, but unexpectedly met Gu Jiangkuo's slightly red eyes.
Then he saw his tall and strong bodyguard walk around the thick solid wood desk, stop in front of him, and suddenly lean over to give him a hug.
The 19-year-old boy was very strong, and his embrace was hot and solid, but his voice was a little hoarse, "Jiang Nuo, thank you."
Young Master Jiang was a little confused by the sudden hug, but after a moment of stalemate, he reached out and put his arms around the other person, gently patting his strong back.
I thought to myself: This seems to be the first time he called my name.
