As soon as Gu Li came out, she unlocked her phone and turned it on. When she heard Jiang Xu's question, she replied, "Delete the recording. It's dirtying my ears and defiling my phone."
Hearing Gu Li's disdainful tone, Jiang Xu asked, "Is it that serious?"
Gu Li said, "It's enough to scare him. I'd be embarrassed if I actually announced it, so there's no point in keeping it."
Jiang Xu: "Yeah, that's true. Just let him know that such a thing exists. We can't let the little monsters benefit from the big boss's power."
Gu Li tapped the delete key, then looked at Jiang Xu as if he'd just remembered something, "You really weren't bullied?"
Jiang Xu nodded, "Of course."
Gu Li thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, then I'll keep it and send it to him from time to time to scare him to death." After hearing Jiang Xu's answer, he pressed the delete button.
Jiang Xu chuckled, "Maybe it really will scare him to death."
Gu Li, "How do you know about his family affairs?"
Jiang Xu said, "I borrowed some money for poverty alleviation before, but then I realized I forgot to investigate the family background of the people I was supposed to help. So I took the opportunity to find out more, and I feel even more that I should get my money back."
Gu Li, "Is this what you said at the gym about making him pay back the money?"
Jiang Xu nodded, "Yes, we can't be taken advantage of."
Gu Li said, "That makes sense." He put away his phone. "I have something else to do. His surname is Zhao, and I also know a guy with the surname Zhao. Coincidentally, they know each other too."
Jiang Xu frowned. "What a coincidence, Wang Bing, Liu Xian, and Zhao Rangwen all seem to have some connection."
Gu Li nodded, "It is indeed a coincidence, but it is reasonable that this person met Zhao Rangwen when he went to Zhao Family Village. Otherwise, I would have thought that someone had deliberately arranged it."
Jiang Xu: "It does seem somewhat deliberate."
Gu Li patted Jiang Xu on the shoulder, "Don't overthink it. It just means we were really lucky to meet sooner or later."
Jiang Xu pondered, "That's true."
Tuesday afternoon was the selection session for the previous architecture competition. Most of the participants were the top few in the competition. Jiang Xu and Gu Li arrived quite late this time, just in time to go, when almost everyone had already arrived.
When Director Zhang saw Jiang Xu arrive, he spoke loudly, "Hello everyone, this is Jiang Xu, the representative of the school-enterprise cooperation company. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have."
Jiang Xu nodded. "Hello everyone, you are all outstanding participants in this competition. Would you like to take a deeper and more practical look at the construction industry?"
He smiled slightly, "Some projects will be delegated later, and interested students can join directly."
Zhao Rangwen, as the first place winner of the competition, naturally came to participate. When he heard the person in charge mention the name 'Jiang Xu', he thought he had misheard and looked up in disbelief.
Then, he discovered that it really was Jiang Xu!
Jiang Xu stood there with a smile on his face and an air of nobility. Zhao Rangwen felt a chill. How could it be him? He clearly had a terrible understanding of architecture. How could he possibly be an agent?
It must be a conspiracy. He couldn't accept being inferior to him in his area of expertise. This was the only area where he felt he would never lose.
Zhao Rangwen suddenly stood up. "Is it possible to get selected as an agent through back channels? Then it's the right thing to do not participate in this project."
The people with him looked at each other, adopting a wait-and-see attitude.
"Why did this student say that?" asked Manager Zhang.
Zhao Rangwen pointed directly at Jiang Xu, "He's my classmate. His grades have always been terrible, barely passing. How could he possibly become an agent?" His tone was certain, drawing everyone's attention to Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu smiled. "Don't you know why my grades were bad before?" He still clearly remembered the original owner's half-finished notes. How could the culprit forget? He didn't mind reminding him.
Zhao Rangwen was taken aback, but quickly realized, "Look, he admitted that his grades were bad."
Jiang Xu: "I was talking about before. Now I'm much better than you. Talent is something that can't be erased, so don't be too envious."
Zhao Rangwen, "What makes you say that!"
Jiang Xu remained calm and composed. "Because," he said slowly, "I set the exam questions for you this time, and your answers were just slightly better."
Zhao Rangwen was furious. "How can you prove it?"
Jiang Xu waved his hand, "What do I need to prove? My presence here is the best proof." He remained calm, "However, for the sake of everyone's progress, I will distribute my answer sheets to you all. I hope we can exchange ideas and make progress together."
Jiang Xu picked up his phone and sent the file to the group they had temporarily created.
Faced with such a scene, everyone was curious about the outcome and examined it with extra care.
The charm of academia lies in its ability to make people lose themselves in the moment and engage in meaningful conversations.
"Wow, this is a really good method. I never knew it could be done this way."
"I certainly can't figure it out. The boss is indeed a boss."
"I'm thinking of joining. I'll learn from this, and who knows, it might improve my skills a lot."
"I also looked at the first one, and it is indeed quite different from this one. It's not mature enough. This one is like a perfect answer has appeared."
As Zhao Rangwen looked at it, his face grew increasingly ashen. "Who can prove that this is something you made?"
Gu Li spoke up at this moment, "Me?" he said casually, shaking his phone as he spoke, "I have everything on my phone."
This is an implication, or even an explicit statement.
Zhao Rangwen's jealous mind cleared up, "Even if you produce this, I will not participate in your project."
Jiang Xu didn't care. "Whatever. You don't think you're so great, do you?" he said nonchalantly. "I welcome all the other students here, anytime, anywhere."
Zhao Rangwen stared intently at the content on his phone, content that was both outstanding and perfect.
We lost, we lost completely, we even lost what we were most confident in.
He silently got up, gripped his phone tightly, and left. He thought that now it wasn't that they didn't want to see him anymore, but that he really didn't want to show up either.
He remembered showing off his first place and the medal to Gu Li, and Jiang Xu could let the other party see it all.
The differences have always existed, and he truly saw them.
Apart from this minor incident, Jiang Xu's selection process went very smoothly. Ambitious young people naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity, so the remaining people basically all joined.
After the event concluded successfully, Jiang Xu and Gu Li walked side by side. "Now it's finally over."
Gu Li, "Doesn't the previous one count?"
Jiang Xu said, “It counts, but it’s not quite the same.” Seeing Gu Li’s puzzled look, he continued, “He’s not satisfied yet, but now he feels inadequate. People should focus on themselves more.”
"Jiang Xu!"
Another wave of trouble has arisen.
