Chapter 92
A week later.
Jiang's house.
The seven-day Spring Festival holiday officially began. On New Year's Eve, Aunt Mei stayed up until the afternoon and prepared the New Year's Eve dinner before catching the train.
The Jiang family has their New Year's Eve dinner early, continuing the tradition from when Mr. Jiang was still alive. They have a large table of food and wine around 3:00 p.m., watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV in the middle of the night, and eat dumplings around 10:00 p.m.
As diligent as Young Master Jiang is on weekdays, he is as lazy as ever during holidays. He lies on the sofa like a boneless person, covering his whole body with a thick blanket, leaving only his head and a pair of hands exposed to play with his mobile phone.
Jiang Xiaomi can finally play computer games openly. The caregiver works all year round and takes Grandma Wang for a walk in the yard as usual.
Mr. Jiang's villa has a construction area of more than 500 square meters - not counting the sunrooms he built to follow the trend - but he only loves the sofa corner in the living room on the first floor.
Whenever Gu Jiangkuo couldn't find someone, he could always dig him out from that corner.
"Nuonuo." Gu Jiangkuo also sat down next to him. "Pan Yian ran away."
Jiang Nuo: “Oh… huh??!”
Young Master Jiang looked away from his phone screen, his eyes wide open: "Who ran away?"
"Hush," Gu Jiangkuo said. "Keep your voice down. Jiang Su doesn't know yet that Lao Meiqin has gone after him."
Jiang Nuo glanced at Jiang Xiaomi's room upstairs and lowered his voice: "When did it happen?"
"Yesterday," Gu Jiangkuo said vaguely, "It was New Year's Day, and we were afraid they would cause trouble, so we sent a few brothers to keep an eye on them."
Jiang Nuo knew that in his previous life, Gu Jiangkuo had to be given some face by both the black and white worlds, but that was because he ran a casino in Nanyang. He didn't expect that there would be signs of this now.
I wanted to ask, "Where did you come from, brother? Aren't all the construction sites closed for holiday?", but after thinking about it, I didn't ask.
Even if they were lovers, there was no need to delve into every detail. As the saying goes, "If you're not stupid or deaf, you can't be a family man." Young Master Jiang only asked the key questions that interested him: "What exactly happened? Did Lao Meiqin withdraw her shares?"
Speaking of this, Gu Jiangkuo answered fluently and spoke in a serious manner.
Shengchen's stock had plummeted, and Pan Yian, unable to sit still, finally cashed out at a low price through various channels before the Spring Festival trading halt. The two of them had originally extorted 9 million yuan from Jiang Nuo, and they scraped together another million yuan, adding 10 million yuan to their total capital. If they had invested in Shengchen when Baimi Technology did, they might have only lost 40% to 50% by now, with half still left.
But when they bought the shares, the price was already high, and they bought them even higher than the market price.
Now out of ten million, less than one hundred is left.
It really lived up to Mr. Jiang’s bold statement: “Let them spit out the same way they ate up the nine million.” They lost exactly 9 million.
"If he wants to lose money, then he has to lose it. There is still nearly one million left, which is enough for ordinary people to live off their savings for a while. Why is he running away?" Jiang Nuo asked.
"I find it strange too," Gu Jiangkuo coughed lightly, "After a little research, I found that there is also some emotional reason."
It turned out that Pan Yian, who was keeping a relationship with a middle-aged rich woman while having an affair with a young mistress, not only failed in his investment, but was also discovered by Lao Meiqin. It was a very ugly situation. Seeing that Lao Meiqin really couldn't get any money out of the Jiang family, Pan Yian simply took the mistress and ran away with the money.
Lao Meiqin was so angry that she lost both her life and her money, so she went after him overnight.
Jiang Nuo sighed, "No wonder she didn't pester Jiang Xiaomi to spend the New Year with her. Having such a mother, Xiao Su is really pitiful."
"He's not really pitiful because he has a good brother like you." Gu Jiangkuo comforted.
After listening to the gossip, Jiang Nuo retreated back into his quilt: "Am I a good brother? Apart from constantly paying for tutoring, I don't seem to have taken care of him much."
"Of course. You're willing to spend so much money on him, which is better than the parents of ordinary families. You're a good brother."
Young Master Jiang felt a little embarrassed by the praise. "I'm his only reliable relative now. If I don't take care of him, who will? ... I don't know if Lao Meiqin will break up with that pretty boy. It's good that they do. That way, even if Xiao Su uses Jiang's money to support her in the future, at least she's not supporting her adulterer along with him, which makes me feel better. Anyway, if I say I'll make them cough up nine million, then I'll make them cough up nine million. Isn't that pretty accurate?"
"yes."
Gu Jiangkuo looked at Young Master Jiang's smug expression and was overjoyed. "Boss Jiang is truly amazing, with brilliant plans and the ability to win battles thousands of miles away! No wonder everyone in the Yanlin business community praises you as even better than you, and no one in the company disrespects you."
Jiang Nuo was a little flattered by the praise and asked knowingly, "How much money do we make?"
"Excluding the 1 million yuan principal from my grandmother's relocation compensation and the interest paid on the financial products, the net profit was 37 million yuan," Gu Jiangkuo said. "It was all deposited into Baimi Technology's company account."
In fact, he wanted to transfer 9 million to Jiang Nuo's personal account as soon as possible - just like what was agreed at the beginning, this was the money earned from Lao Meiqin, and he should return it to him - but Young Master Jiang refused to take it. Sometimes he said that the taxes would be too high and it was not cost-effective, and sometimes he said that it was just a joke. How could he, Jiang Nuo, a rich second-generation, care about a mere few million? In short, he had to give him such a huge sum of money.
Gu Jiangkuo couldn't resist, so he had to secretly convert Baimi's shares into dry shares and put them in the name of Young Master Jiang without Jiang Nuo's knowledge.
"Over 30 million in one transaction." Young Master Jiang reviewed his achievements with great satisfaction. "That's 30 to 40 percent more than expected. How's that? Are you, Mr. Jiang, impressive?"
"Amazing," Gu Jiangkuo imitated the tone of a TV drama, "I'm tired of saying the word 'amazing'."
Young Master Jiang burst into laughter, "Gu Dajiang, how can you be so cute! You are so big and strong, how dare you call yourself a concubine?"
It seems that when two people are together, their sense of humor will be affected by each other and lowered. When Jiang Nuo laughs, Gu Jiangkuo can't help but laugh too. The two "bosses" who have companies under their names laugh together and mock each other, and their childishness is comparable to that of elementary school students.
As he laughed, Gu Jiangkuo looked at his boyfriend's pretty face which turned slightly red, and his mood gradually changed. He leaned down and kissed Young Master Jiang on the forehead.
Jiang Nuo: “?”
While Mr. Jiang was stunned, Gu Jiangkuo took the opportunity to kiss him on the mouth. It was an abrupt and long kiss, hidden in the sound of fireworks and firecrackers. It was unknown how many firecrackers were burned outside before Jiang Nuo reluctantly pushed Gu Jiangkuo away.
"I'm suffocating to death." Young Master Jiang complained while gasping for breath.
There were still glistening traces of water on his lips. Gu Jiangkuo asked hoarsely, "Are you feeling better now?"
After the kiss, Gu Jiangkuo had already pressed Jiang Nuo onto the sofa, with his two strong and powerful arms supporting Jiang Nuo on both sides. It was an extremely aggressive posture, and his hormone content was seriously exceeded.
"No." Young Master Jiang raised his eyebrows and said.
Gu Jiangkuo: “…”
Gu Jiangkuo's eyes showed that he was about to burn with emotions. He ignored the word "no" and wanted to kiss her again, but Master Jiang covered his mouth with his hand.
Jiang Nuo was still panting a little: "It's broad daylight, and this is the living room. Aren't you afraid that grandma will come in, or that Jiang Xiaomi will come downstairs?"
Gu Jiangkuo gradually calmed down, "Then we..."
Before he could finish the words "go upstairs", Jiang Nuo continued, "We haven't finished talking about business yet. Baimi Technology now has substantial assets worth nearly 40 million. It would be a shame to leave them lying around."
As he spoke, he tried to break free from Gu Jiangkuo's shackles, but unfortunately there was a hollow partition screen above his head. The total value of the bottles and jars on it might be enough to buy another villa, so he couldn't touch it.
Young Master Jiang had no choice but to change his strategy: "Get up and let's talk it out."
"..." Gu Jiangkuo pursed his lips and said nothing. He stood in silent confrontation with him for a moment before whispering, "Do we really have to talk about serious matters at this time?"
Jiang Nuoxin thought: Of course!
If we don't talk about business, something bad will happen.
How could he not have noticed before that Gu Jiangkuo had such a fiery temper? He could easily ignite a raging fire, and if he wasn't careful, he would get burned.
Since he agreed to be with him, Young Master Jiang was ready to have an in-depth discussion with Mr. Gu, but not now, and it shouldn't be so soon. Firstly, when he was in the dormitory, he accidentally saw Gu Dajiang's "strength" and felt scared. Secondly, food that is too easy to eat is not called Michelin three-star food, it is called home-cooked meals.
Young Master Jiang was proud of his status, so naturally, it was not a "easy meal". Moreover, he had been busy with his career since his rebirth and had never eaten meat. He wanted to have a "Michelin three-star" meal for his first meal. He could not start hastily without any preparation. He had to at least arrange a decent trip.
Thinking of this, Young Master Jiang ordered: "Get up."
Gu Jiangkuo pursed his lips and slowly moved one centimeter.
Jiang Nuo was so angry that he laughed. Is this "non-violent non-cooperation"?
However, Mr. Jiang had plenty of tricks up his sleeve. Since he couldn't hit the screen horizontally, he could always kick Gu Jiangkuo vertically. Then, just as he raised his foot, before he could kick, both of them froze.
Gu Jiangkuo's ears turned red instantly. He stopped confronting Jiang Nuo, quickly stood up and sat down obediently, and even pulled a blanket to cover himself.
Jiang Nuo: “…………”
Well, it’s a good thing that I didn’t kick it, otherwise Mr. Gu would probably have repeated the mistakes of his previous life.
I didn't expect that he would become so energetic just by a kiss.
Just at this time, grandma came back from her walk and started complaining to her "grandson and grandson's wife" about Wangcai, saying how he was naughty and had damaged several flowers and plants today.
Normally at times like this, Gu Jiangkuo would step forward to help support the old lady and say a few words in cooperation, but today, he didn't dare to move. His ears were red and he stared straight ahead, as if he had developed a strong interest in the spider plant on the flower bed.
However, Gu Jiangkuo was shy, and Young Master Jiang started to tremble. He smiled and coaxed the old lady for a long time, until Gu Jiangkuo's wheat-colored face turned red and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Finally, he stopped teasing him and told the nurse to send the old lady upstairs to have a good rest.
They were the only two people left in the huge living room. Jiang Nuo approached with a smile, about to tease, but seeing Gu Dajiang's expression, he felt that teasing him at this time might have a negative impact on his personal safety. So he put aside his teasing expression and said seriously, "Bai Mi Technology, the reason why it is called a 'technology company' is not just an empty name. It should make some high-tech products and officially start business. It can not only assist Shengchen in the future and be interconnected with its electric vehicle business to form an industrial chain, but also..."
Master Jiang watched Gu Jiangkuo's expression and spoke in a lower voice. He couldn't help but reflect on whether he had teased him too much just now. After all, it was in front of Grandma.
President Jiang coughed lightly and changed the subject, "How about this, after the New Year, let's find some time to go on vacation together, just the two of us."
Mr. Gu's mood suddenly turned from gloomy to cheerful: "Really? When?"
"..." Jiang Nuo once suspected that Gu Dajiang was pretending again, but he had been busy for more than half a year since he took over Jiang's company and had hardly had a moment of rest. He should find a chance to take a vacation and spend a honeymoon with his boyfriend to relax.
"Let's wait until we're done with Baimi Technology's acquisition of Shengchen," Mr. Jiang said thoughtfully. "It shouldn't be too long. Shareholders like Lao Meiqin have already divested, and Mr. Zhao's opponents at the shareholders' meeting have almost all left. I estimate that once the market reopens after the New Year, a large number of people will leave again—especially Jin Lin and Boyue, who are behind him. They won't wait and see for too long."
"Okay." Mr. Gu's enthusiasm was suddenly aroused. "I will prepare the necessary documents for the acquisition in advance."
"...It's not that urgent." Jiang Nuo said.
Logically speaking, the most anxious people at this moment should be Jin Lin, Yu Min, and Ding Pingzhou, who was a step slower and had not retreated completely.
