Chapter 638 Liu Jianguo's Birdsong and Fragrant Flowers Gao Jiefeng's phone vibrated in his suit pocket, and he paused for a moment as he took it out—the two words "Old Liu" on the screen were dazzlingly bright.
The smile that was on her face froze instantly, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes tightened for a moment. Although it was so quick that it seemed like an illusion, the vice principal next to her caught it.
The vice principal's lips twitched involuntarily, and he forced a laugh as he asked:
"Judging by your quick change of expression, could it be Old Liu? He really can't stand being nagged..."
"So what if it's Lao Liu?" Gao Jiefeng remained calm and composed.
The vice principal leaned forward, deliberately teasing:
"I advise you to just hang up and play dead. If you answer now, you're guaranteed to get sprayed in the face with his spittle through the communication signal."
He knew all too well the feud between the two—ever since Gu Luo transferred from Guangya to Mingde, Liu Jianguo had been at odds with Gao Jiefeng both openly and privately. Now that Mingde was promoting Gu Luo as "proud," it was no wonder Liu Jianguo couldn't tolerate it.
Once Mingde promotes itself in this way, it will be useless for Guangya to follow suit. Instead, it will make them look inferior, like they are just following in someone else's footsteps.
Most importantly, Gu Luo himself is indeed studying at Mingde School.
What can you do?
Gao Jiefeng's finger hovered over the hang-up button for a moment, clearly tempted.
He was busy directing the workers to hang the last banner right now, and really didn't have time to argue with Liu Jianguo.
Okay, this is clearly the solution we've found.
But he really couldn't save face, so he cleared his throat, put the phone back to his ear, and waved his hand:
"What's wrong with that? Just because Guangya doesn't promote itself, does that mean Mingde can't be the talent scout?"
"Haha...you...you..." The vice principal finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, waving his hand:
"Okay, then you can answer it. Remember to keep the receiver away from you, or you won't be able to clean your ears properly."
"I'm afraid of him?"
Gao Jiefeng stiffened his neck and pressed the answer button, but before he could even speak, the other end of the line erupted in chaos—
"You old dog Gao! I'll f*** you! Did you do this on purpose? You hung that banner right up to the entrance of Guangya School!"
"I really **** you **** you bought trending topics **** you're trying to ruin my reputation **** you're trying to **** you're trying to make me suffer ****"
Liu Jianguo's roar was like a thunderclap, making Gao Jiefeng's eardrums go numb. He subconsciously moved his phone three centimeters away, but a mischievous smile appeared on his lips.
Vice Principal: "......."
He truly hadn't expected his own principal to be so pretentious, actually managing to put a banner up in front of someone else's school.
Isn't this a slap in the face to Guangya?
Putting aside Lao Liu, I bet all the students at Guangya High School want to put him in a sack.
"Getting impatient? Getting impatient already?" Gao Jiefeng spoke slowly, his voice almost overflowing with laughter:
"Old Liu, you need to change your temper. At your age, getting so angry can easily cause high blood pressure."
"I'm furious with you!" Liu Jianguo's angry shout grew louder, mixed with the clattering sound of things being rummaged through.
"Do you believe I'll bring some men right now and tear down all those lousy banners of yours?!"
"I'm getting anxious, I'm getting anxious." Gao Jiefeng repeated those two words, casually, yet more cutting than a retort.
The struggle for the crown prince position has always been like this.
Either don't make a move, or kill with a single blow.
Anyway, Mingde will use Gu Luo's name for publicity from now on.
There was a full five seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by Liu Jianguo's voice, choked with rage, almost squeezed out between his teeth:
"My dear Gao, you're ruthless. Where are you now? I'll treat you to a meal to celebrate Mingde's success."
"No need for a meal, I'm busy here." Gao Jiefeng glanced at the workers who were fixing the banner and said in a light tone, "The banner isn't finished yet. Once it's up, let's meet again next time."
Without waiting for Liu Jianguo's response, she slammed down the phone.
He had just put his phone back in his pocket when the vibration sounded again, so he simply pressed and held the power button, and the phone screen went black instantly.
"I feel refreshed!" Gao Jiefeng patted his thigh and even hummed a little tune.
The vice principal shook his head helplessly: "You two are over a hundred years old combined, why are you arguing like elementary school students?"
He paused, his expression turning serious: "But to be honest, Lao Liu definitely won't let this go. He might try to get Gu Luo back to Guangya. We need to be careful."
Gao Jiefeng shook his head, his smile fading slightly, replaced by a strange expression.
"It's not that serious. Haven't you seen what's going on online? People have already dug up the past of Gu Luo, Luo Shuning, and Luo Shuhe, and since yesterday, some people are already saying they're in a love triangle."
He took out another spare phone, opened Weibo, and handed it to the vice principal:
"I think Luo Liang made Gu Luo transfer schools back then most likely because of this matter."
The vice principal took the phone, looked at the comments under the trending topic, and pondered:
"So, this is the real reason Gu Luo transferred schools? That makes sense."
"So I was thinking, should we hire a public relations team to handle this?" Gao Jiefeng stroked his chin.
“Just say that Gu Luo was poached from Guangya to Mingde by that girl Shen Qingling. After all, it’s a Beijing socialite pursuing someone, which sounds much more respectable than ‘sisters sharing one husband’.”
The vice principal's lips twitched, and he handed the phone back to him: "I don't know anything about this, you guys figure it out. To be honest, Gu Luo's love life is too good, he's surrounded by girls wherever he goes."
"Who can blame him when he's both good-looking and talented?" Gao Jiefeng grinned smugly as he looked at the two characters "Gu Luo" on the banner.
"This is Mingde's brand name; no one can take it away from us."
"But what if public opinion gets out of control?"
Gao Jiefeng waved his hand: "No way, just you wait and see. Even if we don't take action, these rumors will disappear completely in the next two days."
"Does Gu Luo have someone above him?"
"Are you stupid?" Gao Jiefeng smiled. "Do you think Old Liu would allow such rumors to circulate about the future national team?"
"That's true..."
