Chapter 109
While Jiang Nuo was hesitating, Gu Jiangkuo's chat box lit up: [Nuonuo, I miss you so much. When can you come to visit me in Singapore?]
Jiang Nuo: “……!”
Jiang Nuo even suspected that Gu Jiangkuo had installed a camera next to him. How could it be such a coincidence?
Then I saw another message from Gu Jiangkuo: [Nuonuo, don’t you miss me?]

Jiang Nuo: [Where do you get so many emoticons? ]
Gu Jiangkuo: [Glutinous little yellow duck headband meow meowjpg]
Jiang Nuo: “…”
Suddenly I didn't want to go see him anymore.
But then, Gu Jiangkuo's video call came.
Jiang Nuo picked up the phone and saw Gu Jiangkuo's straight-man selfie. The background was still a bit noisy, and President Jiang couldn't help but frown. "You went to the casino again?"
Gu Jiangkuo put on his headphones and found a quiet, deserted spot. "This is my private room, the old man's lounge for me." He recorded a video on his phone. "Look, it's fully equipped. I can live here."
Jiang Nuo was becoming increasingly dissatisfied, but he still habitually asked, "Is it convenient to talk here?"
The talking here, of course, refers to talking about "business".
"Convenient," Gu Jiangkuo said, understandingly. There were no cameras or recording equipment here, and he checked every day.
Jiang Nuo then said, "It's been more than half a month, and he still hasn't let you get involved in the family business?" Does he want to go back on his word?
"Maybe you're thinking of going back on your word," Gu Jiangkuo said bluntly. "In the past two weeks, I've found some very interesting information, but it's still inconvenient to talk about it over the phone. Nuonuo, come to Lion City to see me. The old man has me detained and won't let me go back anytime soon. I miss you so much."
Hearing the words "I miss you" with his own ears, Jiang Nuo's heart softened.
Gu Jiangkuo: "Do you miss me?"
Jiang Nuo: "I..."
Gu Jiangkuo started to be possessed by Lin Daiyu again: "I knew you, a heartless person, wouldn't miss me. I'm alone here in a strange place, I can't eat or sleep well..."
"I miss you!" Jiang Nuo interrupted him quickly.
Gu Jiangkuo was stunned for a moment, then he smiled. Perhaps because of his dark skin, his teeth would appear whiter. Gu Jiangkuo's smile was particularly brilliant. Jiang Nuo couldn't help but laugh along with him. "Gu Jiangkuo, how old are you and still acting like a spoiled child? Your acting just now was so fake."
Gu Jiangkuo still couldn't stop smiling: "I'm just acting like a spoiled child with you."
There's a saying, 'I don't like you, but I like the way I am when I'm with you'. This can probably be used to describe Gu Jiangkuo's mood at the moment. He has never been a person who would act like a spoiled child or a spoiled brat, and he doesn't even like to laugh. Only in front of Jiang Nuo is he like this.
Gu Jiangkuo: "I still want to act like a spoiled child in front of you."
"Don't," Jiang Nuo said, "With your height and weight, it's easy to send me away if you act like a spoiled child."
Gu Jiangkuo laughed again. Two people who like each other can feel happy even if they are just making a video call and talking about the most insignificant nonsense. Gu Jiangkuo asked more pressingly, "Nuonuo, so you agreed to come see me?"
"Yes." Jiang Nuo agreed. "But it will take at least another month. I have to finish the investment in Xingxu. I can't just give money and leave it alone. I have to see where Jiang's money is spent. And there are a lot of things that need to be adjusted, including personnel..."
"There's no need to do everything yourself."
"Let's talk about it later," Jiang Nuo pinched the bridge of his nose, "Give me a month when things are on the right track. I'll spare three days then..."
Gu Jiangkuo made a gesture of holding his heart like Xi Shi to show his grievance, and then protested in a loud voice like a bell: "No! Waiting for a month and a half, and only seeing me for three days? You really don't miss me."
Jiang Nuo found it both amusing and troubling, so he changed the subject: "...How about I take a week off to visit you?"
"That's better." Gu Jiangkuo, "When you come, we won't go to Gu's house. It's uncomfortable there. I'll take you to the Jinsha Hotel. The night view there is beautiful. Nuonuo, I miss waking up with you..."
Jiang Nuo's ears felt a little hot when he heard it. At this time, there was a knock on the door. President Jiang sighed softly, "I'll go get busy first."
"No, let's talk for a while."
"When I finish my work soon, I might be able to visit you in advance."
Gu Jiangkuo then hung up the phone reluctantly.
Sometimes, Mr. Jiang always felt that Gu Jiangkuo was a clingy large dog, and subconsciously forgot how sharp Mr. Gu's fangs and claws were. Even in a foreign country, he didn't need to worry about him.
.
Things happened faster than Jiang Nuo expected. Three weeks later, Jiang completed all the procedures for injecting capital into Xingxu Metal and issued an announcement.
At the same time, with the help of the Jiang Group, Xingxu Metal and Shengchen New Energy signed a long-term supply contract and announced themselves as long-term strategic partners. However, it is not difficult for anyone with a discerning eye to see that the capital behind these two companies, or one of the capitals, has been replaced by the Jiang Group.
Recently, due to the poor financial situation, the prices of bulk raw materials in the international market have been rising. Shengchen can be said to have found a very favorable backer for himself.
As soon as this announcement was released, it sparked discussions in major financial forums, and even some economic analysis experts and celebrities said that the market was good for Shengchen.
As a result, the stock price of Shengchen New Energy, which was once on the verge of being labeled as ST, began to rise. In just one week, the stock price has risen by 40%!
"This is just the beginning," said Yu Min, who was far away in City A. "I've seen Shengchen's factory. Compared to its peers, it's quite standard. The management is also visionary. They just lack investment, and Jiang Nuo has promised to fully support their research and development of new technologies. Once the quarterly financial report comes out, the stock price will continue to rise."
"Mr. Jiang is a real business genius at such a young age. He is also very steady in his work. If Mr. Yu had not gone to Yanlin to meet him in person, I would have found it hard to believe that he is a young man who is not even 20 years old." said an executive.
"Yeah," Yu Min said quietly, "Jiang Nuo doesn't look like a child at all. He's very charismatic and everyone who sees him would like him. It's a pity..."
The executive misunderstood Mr. Yu's unspoken intention and thought he was giving Jin Lin some advice, which made him resentful. He then followed up, "It's a pity that he's not on the same team as us."
Yu Min looked up at him but didn't correct him.
The executive continued, "This is actually Jin Lin's fault. He was perfectly fine, but he had to mess with CEO Jiang. He's an entrepreneur, not a celebrity. How could he possibly enjoy having his private life exposed in public? He was forced to come out. Yanlin isn't as open as City A. CEO Jiang must be quite affected, and he's definitely going to retaliate."
"Do you think Jiang Nuo challenged Jin Lin because of this?" Yu Min raised his eyebrows.
The executive choked and chuckled, "...I see that's what the gossip news says."
"How can you believe gossip?" Yu Min said disdainfully. "Boss Jiang is not someone who is so superficial. He has already laid out the plan. Before we even signed the contract with Shengchen, Jiang Nuo had already set his sights on this piece of fat meat. Revenge on Jin Lin is just a natural move."
"Really? Is he really that amazing?" the executive tutted. "But, President Yu, you rarely defend anyone like this. It's clear you really admire President Jiang."
Yu Min didn't want to continue the conversation and asked casually, "How's Jin Lin?"
Executive: "Speaking of which, we are just offering advice, so the losses we have suffered are relatively small. But Jin Lin has actually lost 2 billion. In order to repay the debt, he signed a gambling agreement with the capital. In order to fulfill the gambling, he is now very busy. I heard that he is filming three movies at the same time. What good movies can he make with such a rush? No wonder TV series and movies are not good nowadays!"
"A full two billion, and he can earn it back just by filming. That's quite a feat," Yu Min sighed. "We work so hard in business, even at the risk of losing money, that we might not be able to make that much in one go."
"If he loses the bet, he'll owe more than just 2 billion," the executive said. "But it's true that we're in a much harder position. Because of Jin Lin's situation, many celebrities who wanted to enter the capital market have backed off. We're going to lose a lot of orders."
"Yes." Yu Min said softly.
This move is actually not risky, as there have been many successful cases of celebrities abroad. However, the first attempt in China was blocked by Jiang Nuo.
Yu Min suddenly laughed.
The executive was puzzled: "Mr. Yu, what are you laughing at?"
"Nothing." Yu Min said, "It just suddenly occurred to me that he actually did it."
Jiang Nuo said that he did not want to struggle just for the balance in his account. He wanted to engage in the real economy and do something practical for this society. At that time, Yu Min just thought that he did not want to cooperate with him and said it perfunctorily, but now, Yu Min found that Jiang Nuo actually did it. At least, he prevented certain groups from stirring up the financial market and cutting leeks, which really rectified the atmosphere of this industry to some extent.
It's quite remarkable.
"Boss Yu, if you and Boss Jiang appreciate each other so much, then... should we still compete with him?"
"Of course." Yu Min gave the executive a look that said, "What are you talking about?" "Everything will proceed as planned."
The more he admired Jiang Nuo, the more his masculine competitive spirit was aroused. He lost last time, and this time, he wanted to make a comeback, firstly to reverse the company's image and recover the losses, and secondly, he also wanted to appear in front of Jiang Nuo as a winner.
.
Gu Jiangkuo was in the casino when he received the message from Jiang Nuo that "everything has been almost dealt with, and the flight has been booked for two days later."
But he couldn't express his excitement fully, because Gu Xin had somehow managed to get here. Gu Jiangkuo turned his back and typed: "Great! Nuonuo, waiting for you!"
Then he tried to find an emoticon of someone spinning excitedly, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find one. Gu Xin, unable to bear it any longer, walked around to him and said, "Gu Jiangkuo, it's no use hiding from me!"
Gu Jiangkuo paused his search for emoticons and said expressionlessly, "It's not that I'm avoiding you, but your grandfather who won't let you come here to play."
Then he called out, "Tungku, Ahmad, Ah Du!"
Three strong thugs came over in response. Gu Xin frowned: "I am the eldest young master of the Gu family. Who dares to be rude to me?"
The three thugs all looked at Gu Jiangkuo, as if they were willing to obey his orders. It seemed that as long as Gu Jiangkuo nodded, they would dare to ignore Chairman Gu's grandson.
However, Gu Jiangkuo finally waved his hand, telling them to leave, and said impatiently, "Miss Gu, what exactly do you want? If this is about your father, then there's no need to waste time talking to me. I can't possibly apologize to him. If you can't stand it, go and act like a spoiled child to your grandfather and see if he can control me. You don't have that kind of power."
"You——" Gu Xin was so angry that he was incoherent, "Who are you calling Miss?"
Gu Jiangkuo looked at him coldly, his eyes full of contempt: "You are obviously a seven-foot-tall man, but you are raised more delicately than a girl. You are almost 20 years old, right? You can't go here, you can't go there, and you can't even get involved in our own business. Do you still blame me for looking down on you?"
"..." These words really touched Gu Xin's heart. The Gu family started their business with casinos. Although they have been going ashore to launder money and trying to develop some real economy and Internet economy in other countries, such as China, when people mention the Nanyang Gu family, the first thing they think of is the casino.
But his grandfather would not let him set foot in. At first, he thought it was because he was young and his grandfather was afraid that he would lose control and become addicted, or that he was too young to control himself. After all, the managers in the casino were very different from those in other companies. They were tough and there was a mixed crowd. There were even some desperate criminals mixed in. He might not be able to control them.
So, Gu Xin had been waiting patiently, but in the end, he waited until Mr. Gu handed over part of the management rights of the casino to Gu Jiangkuo!
This made Gu Xin feel a sense of crisis.
What's more, his father kept nagging in his ear, worried that his grandfather would be confused for a moment and end up handing over the Gu family's property to Gu Jiangkuo, an outsider!
Today, Gu Xin came to clarify: "It's not about my father's affairs. I just want to ask you, how can we convince Grandpa to agree to let you manage the casino?"
"So that's what you're asking," Gu Jiangkuo raised an eyebrow and said slowly, "It's hard to guess what Grandpa is thinking, but I think it might be because a casino is such a rough and noisy place, it's not suitable for a delicate young lady like you."
Gu Xin: “You——!”
Gu Jiangkuo: "Instead, it should be handed over to a rough man like me."
Gu Jiangkuo approached him: "Don't be unconvinced, you dare to disobey Grandpa, come in and gamble a few rounds?"
“…”Gu Xin indeed retreated.
Gu Jiangkuo knew that if some things were pushed too hastily, he would only show his weakness. Now that he had moved into the Gu family, he had plenty of time to slowly cast his net, and... he had more important things to do now.
"Come here, take the eldest..." Gu Jiangkuo deliberately left a subtle pause before saying, "Please ask the eldest young master to leave. The eldest young master is a child of destiny. The master will not allow him to enter such a filthy place."
Four or five thugs in the casino's uniform immediately surrounded Gu Xin and said in unison in a respectful but unyielding tone, "Young Master, please return."
It seemed like if Gu Xin didn't leave, they would really drive him away.
In just a month or two, had Gu Jiangkuo already completely subdued these notoriously difficult desperadoes? Gu Xin pursed his lips, then left with a feeling of reluctance.
As soon as he left, Gu Jiangkuo immediately called the most upscale hotel in the area to book a presidential suite. After hearing the other party say that the room was tight and asked if it could be changed to a standard suite, he complained hypocritically, "How can that be possible? My partner has been spoiled since childhood and can't afford a standard suite. Can you pay extra?"
Now he didn't think there was anything wrong with boys being raised to be more pampered than girls.
