Chapter 1 Is He Really Gu Nanfeng?
"Near T City's No. 7 Dragon Harbor is a tributary of the × Ocean. In the past, there were flocks of seagulls and picturesque scenery, but now there are patches of foam and piles of garbage. The ocean climate reference data here will rise by an average of 0.01 degrees per year..." Jin Xiaocan, who was almost close to the computer screen and reading word by word, propped up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and turned to look at Jiang Cha Cha, "Cha Cha, are you sure you want to hand this in as an assignment to the professor?"
No one responded.
Jiang Cha Cha was seen sitting with her legs crossed in a domineering manner, holding colorful RMB in her hands, counting and tapping on a calculator, completely immersed in the world of money, laughing happily: "I made money again, hahahaha."
Jin Xiaocan: ...
A few seconds later, Jiang Cha Cha was forced to come back to her senses under the strong pressure of someone's gaze: "Honey, what did you say?"
Jin Xiaocan tapped the computer screen and said, "Boss, you are really not afraid of death. The professor said that our journalism department is to capture the most sensitive news and analyze the points that people pay the most attention to. It won't work if you keep doing this kind of marginal news."
Jiang Cha Cha sat on a reclining chair, kicked off her short legs, slid towards her, and quickly closed her laptop: "Let me ask you three questions."
"you say."
"Are we from Earth?"
"yes!"
“Does the ocean make up most of the Earth’s surface, or 70 percent?”
"yes!"
"Then how can it be fringe news if we report on 70% of the earth's surface covered by ocean, right?" Jiang Cha Cha shrugged and raised her eyebrows proudly.
Jin Xiaocan was speechless and retorted: "Then what is the third question?"
"The third question," Jiang Cha Cha used the takeout income in her hand as a fan, her eyes shining, "You just called me boss, shouldn't you pay more attention to our sales today than my classwork?"
Hearing about the turnover, Jin Xiaocan's eyes lit up as if he suddenly remembered something, and he snapped his fingers: "Ah, Boss, we still have a balance to collect, have you forgotten? The junior sister who commissioned us to write love letters is doing the last installment today, we should ask her for the money."
After Jin Xiaocan reminded her, Jiang Cha Cha also remembered this business deal.
Here’s what happened—
In addition to being a sophomore in the Department of Journalism at T University, Jiang Cha Cha also has another identity, that is, the CEO of Jiang Cha Cha Takeaway Company. As her roommate, Jin Xiaocan was naturally successfully recruited into the company as an activity backbone.
Jiang Cha Cha’s life motto is: Make more money when you are young!
But how to combine professionalism and making money?
Jiang Chacha gathered several classmates who wanted to make extra money and asked them to provide her with news releases, which were printed in the school newspaper and delivered with the takeaways. This not only effectively utilized the forgotten school newspaper, but also added a personal touch to her takeaways.
The idea quickly worked.
The teacher in the school newspaper office was happy to see this happen and handed the school newspaper to Jiang Cha Cha, giving her full responsibility.
Soon, a senior schoolmate approached Jiang Cha Cha and said that she wanted to publish a love letter to Gu Nanfeng in the school newspaper. She would publish it anonymously for a few issues first and then announce the name in the last issue.
This was a matter of mutual benefit, and more importantly, the senior was very generous, so Jiang Cha Cha was naturally happy to accept the order.
One issue a week, published for a month.
The anonymous courtship spread like wildfire in the school, and everyone was guessing who the girl was.
Today is the last day to publish this story.
Thinking about the large amount of money to be paid, Jiang Cha Cha urged Jin Xiaocan to go upstairs to the fourth floor to settle the bill with her senior schoolmate.
"Yes, boss!" Jin Xiaocan ran out of the dormitory.
Less than a minute later, Jin Xiaocan rushed back in a panic, looking depressed: "Oh no, boss!"
Jiang Chacha frowned: "What's wrong?"
"That senior sister...senior sister..." Jin Xiaocan pointed at the door, speechless for a moment.
Jiang Cha Cha stood up cautiously: "She wants to default on her debt?"
Jin Xiaocan shook his head: "No, she suddenly went abroad to study the day before! Now she is nowhere to be found!"
Jiang Cha Cha felt her scalp tingling: She had boasted to the teacher at the school newspaper office that she would earn seven hundred dollars. Now that she couldn't find anyone, didn't she have to fill it out herself?
hateful!
At this time, Jin Xiaocan's cell phone rang, and she once again reported a bad news to Jiang Chacha: "Boss, the school newspaper is about to be printed, and the name of the girl who confessed to Mr. Gu should be announced. Should we..."
"You haven't even given her the money, and you still wrote her name? That's crazy!" Jiang Cha Cha said angrily.
"Whose name is it? Is there a gap?" Jin Xiaocan curled his lips.
I can’t leave a blank space, because the school newspaper is a public welfare publication; I can’t just write a random name, because it will be exposed... Jiang Cha Cha scratched his hair in annoyance. It was really annoying to be held up by someone and unable to get up or down!
"Please write my name."
Jin Xiaocan was stunned for a moment: "Cha Cha."
"If you're willing to write yours, I don't mind." For now, she could only handle it herself and then say that it was done to create hype for the school newspaper.
Jiang Cha Cha glanced at her phone, took a deep breath to calm herself down, and said, "We have to go to the cafeteria now."
"Yes, boss." Jin Xiaocan stood up, took his cell phone and followed Jiang Chacha to the cafeteria.
10 o'clock Beijing time.
At this time, students who have classes at T University are attending classes, while students who do not have classes are sleeping in the dormitory.
For Jiang Cha Cha, this is an important moment to decide what takeaway her company will deliver that day.
While the canteen staff were preparing the dishes, she got today's canteen menu in advance, and then compared it with the menu to make a corresponding takeaway menu for push. Only by being considerate and customized can the company ensure full daily turnover.
Five minutes later, Jiang Chacha appeared in the cafeteria.
As usual, she greeted every uncle and aunt in the cafeteria with the brightest smile.
"Aunt Zhang, has your son come to the video call?
"Aunt Xu, how do you like the facial mask I gave you yesterday? Is it good?
"Uncle Ke, Uncle Ke, I want to tell you that the cart I borrowed from you the day before yesterday has been returned to you. By the way, the wheels are not very flexible, so I gave you some oil."
These people responded with awkward smiles and nodded, then dodged at the speed of light.
Jin Xiaocan lifted his glasses, looked sideways at the shameless Jiang Chacha, and secretly cheered for his boss. She was probably the only one who came here every day to spy on "military intelligence" and could do so confidently.
Jiang Cha Cha was about to take two steps at a time towards the window when she heard a heavy cough.
She looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall, dark-skinned middle-aged man with a signature beard staring at her with his round, bull eyes.
Jiang Cha Cha was stunned at first, then she smiled and greeted him: "Uncle Chen, you still don't like to smile. But you look handsome with a serious face, haha."
She reached out and punched the chef's chest, and was hurt by the strong muscles.
Chen Muda, 45 years old, is the head chef of the T University cafeteria. He is the person Jiang Chacha needs to please the most. If she wants to know what dishes will be served in the cafeteria every day at noon, she must get his consent to enter the interior to collect information.
Chen Muda stared at Jiang Cha Cha with a stern face: "Cha Cha, I can't let you in today."
"Why?" Jiang Cha Cha was stunned.
"You come here early every day to collect the menu and go back to provide students with other options. You make a lot of money, but our cafeteria's turnover is affected and the higher-ups are not satisfied." Chen Muda explained the reason.
Ginger tea sniffs.
Humph, she had expected this to happen. A few days ago, when those faces from the logistics office frequently appeared in the cafeteria, she felt something was wrong.
But how could this be difficult for her?
Jiang Cha Cha took out a pack of cigarettes from her bag like a magic trick: "Uncle Chen, I won't make it difficult for you. If you don't go in, you can just watch what dishes uncle and aunt are preparing at the window."
Sure enough, Chen Muda's iron face was obviously shaken when he saw the cigarettes.
"This..." He hesitated and reached out for the cigarette, and suddenly a hand appeared and blocked it!
Jiang Cha Cha and Chen Muda turned their heads at the same time.
The other person was a boy, estimated to be about 1.85 meters tall. Jiang Cha Cha had to raise her eyes 30 degrees to see his face.
Well, a flawless face, perfect and impeccable facial features, slightly messy, thick flaxen hair, sharp and cold eyes; a light blue shirt and a pair of slim grey jeans - like the outfit of the male lead in an idol drama.
"Chen Muda, you are blatantly accepting bribes!" He shook the evidence in his hand and squinted his eyes.
Chen Muda's face immediately looked as if covered with a layer of dust and powder, and he said awkwardly: "Mr. Gu, it's a misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding."
Mr. Gu? Could he be Gu Nanfeng, the one the runaway senior confessed to a month ago?
Jiang Cha Cha frowned and looked at the uninvited guest, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
His gaze shifted to Jiang Cha Cha, but due to his height advantage he could only look down at her: “Are you the Jiang Cha Cha?”
That ginger tea?
Which one?
Sure enough, the way he speaks is so annoying.
Jiang Cha Cha's eyebrows rose to a new height: "Who are you? Give me back the cigarette."
When she reached out her hand, he immediately raised it high: "T University is a no-smoking campus, everyone is responsible. Moreover, this cigarette is evidence of bribery, it must be confiscated."
Jiang Cha Cha was dumbfounded. What nonsense was this guy talking about? This was a certain brand of soft furnishings, and it cost several hundred yuan a piece! She grabbed his sleeve and held her breath before giving in: "Well, I know. I was wrong about this matter, and I promise there won't be a next time. Give it back to me first."
Unexpectedly, the next second, he looked at her chubby little hands, curled his lips and said jokingly: "Do you want to add another charge of violence?"
His expression was so annoying that Jiang Cha Cha's eyes widened and she was choked with anger for a moment.
At this time, Jin Xiaocan quickly pulled her hand away: "Cha Cha, forget it, forget it, don't be impulsive."
"What are you so impulsive about! Hey, you're not a teacher, why should you control me?"
"Don't let me see you in the cafeteria again." He pointed at her with his cigarette, his attitude arrogant.
"Ha, you are such a... come back here! Hey!"
Just as Jiang Cha Cha was about to defend her rights again, he turned and left.
Jin Xiaocan hugged Jiang Chacha tightly, his glasses tilted to the left side of his nose: "Boss, calm down, calm down."
Jiang Cha Cha kicked the air several times and glared breathlessly: "Jin Xiaocan! Whose side are you on? You are actually helping that weird guy!"
Jin Xiaocan straightened his glasses aggrievedly: "Boss, have you become stupid from making so much money? You don't even recognize him."
"Could he really be Gu Nanfeng?" Although Jiang Cha Cha had been at T University for two years, she spent most of her time working non-stop just to make money. As long as it was beneficial to making money, even if it was just a rat in a hole, she would register it; on the contrary, even if it was a famous figure, it would only be a gust of wind in her ears.
Even though her senior asked her to write a confession with loving eyes, she had no interest in finding out who this Gu Nanfeng was.
"Yes, he is Gu Nanfeng, also known as the 'Prince of the Ocean' of T City." Jin Xiaocan adjusted his glasses and explained to Jiang Chacha, "He is not only handsome, but also has a good family background. He is the only son of the Gu family, which controls half of the economic lifeline of T City. But the strange thing is..."
Jiang Cha Cha was really not interested in such a clichéd introduction. She rolled her eyes and finally heard something interesting: "What's so strange?"
"He never comes to the school cafeteria to eat, why is he here today?"
Jiang Cha Cha was not interested in knowing why a young master like Gu Nanfeng would come to the cafeteria on a whim. She only knew that because of his whim, the pack of cigarettes she had originally intended to give to Chen Muda in order to extract information was gone for no reason!
Her heart aches so much!
The two of them have become enemies.
But she didn't have much time to feel sad or angry.
Jiang Cha Cha leaned against the window and could only see a few vegetarian dishes. She and Jin Xiaocan quickly returned to the company, and according to the rules of pushing menus in the cafeteria before, they locked in the meat dishes that might be introduced and made adjustments, and then pushed today's special menu to the platform.
Soon, pleasant ordering reminder sounds began to sound one after another.
Jiang Cha Cha and Jin Xiaocan each have two mobile phones in their hands, and they take orders and place them at the same time.
Jiang Cha Cha's eyes were filled with the murderous intent of making money, the kind that could be used as an emoticon package: "Xiao Can! You have to take double the quantity today. You must earn back the 700 that damn senior sister ran away with, as well as the money for cigarettes, understand?"
"Know."
"louder please!"
"Know!"
The highly commercial sounds of encouragement, mixed with the "ding dong ding dong" sounds of ordering, continued to echo in the office of less than ten square meters.
Wearing golden delivery uniforms, golden pedals, and golden hats, Jiang Cha Cha and Jin Xiaocan, carrying takeout food, are like two bright light bulbs walking around the campus of T University. They attract a lot of attention, and even people who don't order takeout can be attracted by them.
This outfit was designed by Jiang Cha Cha based on Jin Xiaocan's name.
In her words, "These days, if you want to make money, you have to show off."
But soon, Jiang Cha Cha realized that sometimes this was a different matter.
When Jiang Cha Cha delivered the takeaway to a little boy on the playground and took a look at his coat, she felt something was strange, but she couldn't tell what it was.
Jiang Cha Cha looked at his face and said nonchalantly, "Little brother, is this your first time ordering takeout from us?"
The little brother nodded: "Yeah."
Jiang Cha Cha smiled: "If you think it's good this time, try it next time. I will definitely not let you down."
The young man nodded again. Seeing that Jiang Chacha was still not leaving, he took out his wallet from his pocket, took out a hundred yuan and handed it over: "Thank you."
It was the first time that Jiang Cha Cha had seen such a high tip! She felt that her heartache had improved by half!
Watching her stepping on the yellow running boards and flying away happily like a little yellow bird, Gu Nanfeng walked out from the side of the stands, following her with a sharp gaze.
The young man looked at Gu Nanfeng with a smile and jokingly asked, "How is it? Are you satisfied with the girl who confessed to you in the school newspaper?"
Gu Nanfeng thought of the confrontation in the cafeteria and curled his lips coldly: "I think there is a misunderstanding. She doesn't even know me."
The young man reminded: "Maybe this is playing hard to get? Maybe he wants to get your attention."
"Whatever. I'm not interested in her anyway." Gu Nanfeng waved his hand.
The little brother asked Gu Nanfeng in confusion: "Why would you want to eat this for no reason?"
Gu Nanfeng used his middle finger to pick up the takeaway with great disdain, and a cunning flashed in his dark eyes under his thick eyebrows: "Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle, right?"
The younger brother smiled and said, "That's right. Your dad asked you to increase the canteen's turnover by five percentage points within three months. If you can't do it, he will not only suspend your card, but also ask you to transfer to the department of financial management. This is really a difficult task. But compared to this dish, shouldn't you get to know Jiang Cha Cha first?"
Gu Nanfeng glared at him: "Do I need to understand? Look at her greedy look, she is a gold digger."
The young man patted Gu Nanfeng on the shoulder and said, "There's nothing wrong with loving money these days. You're being too arbitrary. This Jiang Cha Cha is quite famous. Not only is she cute, but she's also Professor Jiang's favorite student in the Journalism Department. This takeaway company was established only a year ago, but it quickly became popular among students. It specializes in serving T University, and its turnover is rising steadily. It's not easy."
Hearing his friend Xu Biao praising Jiang Cha Cha, Gu Nanfeng snorted disdainfully.
In fact, Jiang Cha Cha's food is not particularly outstanding in terms of taste. Her cleverness lies in the fact that she reasonably avoids the dishes provided by the cafeteria, and takes advantage of the fact that she is also a student of T University and can collect customer information anytime and anywhere, which is why she can achieve a huge increase in sales.
Gu Nanfeng felt that the first step to maintaining the canteen's turnover was to cut off Jiang Cha Cha's source of information on the day's menu.
As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Here, Jiang Cha Cha was not overwhelmed by the 100-yuan tip. Instead, she pedaled to a girl and asked her who the young man in the designer jacket was.
The man was dressed so conspicuously, it was impossible that no one would recognize him.
As expected, the girl blushed. "He is Xu Biao from the Department of Financial Management. He is very handsome. His parents are both lawyers. He is good friends with Gu Nanfeng. The two of them walking together look just like in a picture."
Jiang Cha Cha automatically ignored the useless information that followed and didn't take it to heart anymore.
The fact that she was a good friend of Gu Nanfeng was enough for her to know that something was wrong.
Combining what Chen Muda said about his superior's dissatisfaction and Jin Xiaocan's "strangeness", and a series of fragmentary information that people who never ordered takeout ordered takeout from her, she was sure that this annoying guy Gu Nanfeng was targeting her.
Although she didn't know the reason yet, Jiang Cha Cha had already smelled a hint of danger.
She gave Jin Xiaocan a notice: Be careful when accepting orders and delivering meals these days.
In the evening, Jiang Cha Cha returned home.
The tube-shaped building in District C of T City.
In a city full of tall buildings, the lights can easily cover up the insignificant old buildings at night. They seem so out of tune with the ever-changing city during the day, but they carry the memories of many people, such as Jiang Chacha.
When she was a child, Jiang Chacha walked the streets and played with the children in the tube-shaped buildings. In her memory, her father frequently looked for jobs and changed jobs. Every morning, her father went out in decent clothes and came back at night.
She would wait at the entrance of the alley for her father to come back and eat the hot square cake in his hand.
Dad doesn't talk much, but from his forced smile, Jiang Cha Cha can tell whether the day went well or not, and whether the rent for this month has been paid. But Dad sometimes gets tired and drinks and loses his temper.
At this time, Jiang Cha Cha would cry and look for her mother.
Then, amid her father's roar, Jiang Cha Cha learned that her mother had left her not long after she was born. Her father's business suddenly went into a slump, and her mother wanted to pursue her own life, so she left them without looking back.
In order to raise his daughter, he wanted to make a comeback as a father and did many jobs. But strangely, no matter how hard he tried, he always failed.
But most of the time, Dad still loves Jiang Cha Cha, so Jiang Cha Cha is happy most of the time.
Jiang Cha Cha walked downstairs with a pot of wine and saw a hunched and large figure pacing back and forth under the street light.
Jiang Cha Cha was slightly startled and called out, "Dad."
The man's back froze, and he walked into the light, with a look of joy on his face: "Cha Cha."
Under the orange light, the wrinkles on Jiang Da's face looked particularly gentle.
Generally speaking, as people get older, their sharpness fades away.
Jiang Cha Cha didn't tell him that she was coming back because she wanted to give him a surprise.
Then, he should be waiting for her to come back every day.
Jiang Cha Cha's nose felt sore and she took Jiang Da's arm: "Dad, why are you standing here? Let's go home."
Jiang Da said "hmm" in a nasal tone, with suppressed excitement.
When they got home, Jiang Da was busy in the kitchen, and Jiang Cha Cha was sitting at the dining table waiting obediently.
When Jiang Da put the last soup on the table, Jiang Cha Cha asked him to sit down: "Dad, stop busying yourself and sit down. I have something for you."
Jiang Da pulled over a chair and sat down. Jiang Cha Cha untied the bag, took out the money inside and put it on the table.
"Dad, this is all the money I earned this month. I'll give it to you."
Jiang Da looked at the thick pile of money spread out on the table, estimated to be more than 20,000 yuan: "Did you earn all this?"
Jiang Cha Cha patted her chest proudly: "Yes, it's all me."
Jiang Da nodded with a complicated expression.
Jiang Cha Cha took his hand and put the money in it, letting him feel the reality: "Dad, it's true. Look, I earned all this. I have been doing this for a year. Look, I am not a bad luck star who can't keep money, right? I can make money!"
Jiang Da pursed his lips, his eyes reddened: "Okay, okay. It's great that Cha Cha has grown up."
Jiang Cha Cha picked up a large piece of meat with chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth: "Dad, are you satisfied with this? I want to expand my food delivery company, recruit a lot of people, and then expand the scope of business. Not only targeting T University, I also want to go public and ring the bell at Nasdaq!"
Jiang Da was amused by his daughter's boasting: "Look at you, you shine brightly when you are given a little sunshine, and you don't know which direction to go. Dad only hopes that you study hard, get your diploma smoothly, and then find a good job. Then you can meet a good man, the kind that is ten thousand times better than Dad."
Jiang Cha Cha silently repeated Jiang Da's educational theory in her mind.
She has heard such words since she was a child, and her ears are calloused from them.
In Jiang Cha Cha's opinion, her father didn't believe she would succeed.
But she is different. She refuses to believe in evil and believes that man can conquer nature, so she moves forward courageously.
After having dinner with her father, Jiang Cha Cha originally wanted to stay at home and sleep for a night.
However, her father sent her back to school.
She was speechless at the attitude of someone still treating her as a high school student.
On the way back, Jiang Cha Cha called Jin Xiaocan and prepared to bring her some midnight snacks.
Jin Xiaocan said excitedly: "Then I want to eat the abalone pastry from Juhe Street!"
…
Jiang Cha Cha looked at herself and found herself standing on Kuowen Street, two blocks away from Juhe Street, and she regretted making the call.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Cha Cha arrived at Juhe Street and saw the Gu Group building towering into the sky under the neon lights of the night.
In this city center where every inch of land is valuable, even one square meter for a standing tree is a luxury, but the Gu Group occupies an entire square, with a dark blue glass exterior, standing tall like a Transformer.
Jiang Cha Cha couldn't help but think of Gu Nanfeng's cold and arrogant face.
“You’re like the building, you’re like the people.” Jiang Cha Cha calmed herself and walked towards the time-honored shop selling abalone biscuits.
The store recommended by Jin Xiaocan lived up to its reputation, and there were many people queuing up.
Jiang Cha Cha was standing in line behind a young couple. After waiting for a long time, it was finally her turn. However, when she reached into her pocket, she found her cell phone was gone.
Jiang Chacha looked behind her suddenly, and saw a high school boy standing behind her. He had a square face and looked honest. When he saw her looking at him, he blinked blankly, and didn't look like a thief.
The waiter urged her to pay, and Jiang Cha Cha gave a bitter smile and had to turn around helplessly.
"How much? I'll pay."
At this moment, a good-looking hand holding cash reached into the small window.
Jiang Cha Cha recognized this hand, and she recognized this annoying person even more!
Gu Nanfeng took the bag and handed it to her.
Jiang Chacha didn’t answer: “Do I need you to pay?”
Gu Nanfeng tilted his head: "Then why don't you pay?"
Jiang Cha Cha glared: "I..."
She turned her head and said, "I suddenly don't want to buy it anymore. Is it your business?"
Seeing this, the high school student behind her leaned over and said, "If you don't want it, can you give it to me?"
…
Jiang Cha Cha snatched the abalone biscuit from Gu Nanfeng's hand and strode away, while Gu Nanfeng followed her politely.
After walking for a while, Jiang Cha Cha suddenly turned around and looked at the suspicious person who suddenly appeared: "Why are you here? Don't tell me you just happened to pass by, and don't tell me you are here to buy abalone biscuits."
The excuse of just happening to pass by sounds so lame, and buying abalone biscuits doesn't fit his personality at all.
Gu Nanfeng crossed his arms and said, "I was just stretching in the group's office when I saw you standing there stupidly. You didn't even know your phone was stolen by a thief."
Jiang Cha Cha stared. So her phone was lost at that time?
"You saw my phone being taken away, but you didn't call the police?"
"Call the police? Why should I call the police?" Gu Nanfeng pretended to be dumbfounded, "It's not my phone that was stolen."
Jiang Cha Cha sneered twice. She was a little grateful for his help just now. She must be really ill.
The two looked at each other, ten meters apart.
Gu Nanfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, very curious about Jiang Cha Cha's next reaction.
Just now in the building, he saw her being tricked by someone and still looking stupid and unaware, and suddenly he wanted to tease her. He really wanted to see how embarrassed this money-grubber would be after being defeated by money.
Jiang Cha Cha walked towards Gu Nanfeng step by step. When she was in front of him, she suddenly stood on tiptoe without warning.
Gu Nanfeng leaned back subconsciously and looked at her warily: "What are you doing?"
"Mr. Gu, you caught my attention in the cafeteria and now you're blocking me here. Do you like me?" Jiang Cha Cha's big, blinking eyes revealed a hint of shyness at this moment.
A flash of lightning flashed through Gu Nanfeng's mind, and everything went blank: "What?"
"I know, I look good and I'm good at making money, so it's true that I'm more likely to attract people." Jiang Cha Cha held her cheek with her hand and spoke in an exaggerated tone. The more she spoke, the more it made sense, leaving someone stunned.
Gu Nanfeng was overwhelmed and immediately reached out to cover Jiang Chacha's mouth with a look of disgust: "Hey, classmate Jiang Chacha, do you have any misunderstandings?"
Jiang Cha Cha blinked her eyes, neither crying nor making a fuss, while passers-by on both sides cast curious glances at her.
"Besides, weren't you the one who fell in love with me first? You published your confession in the school newspaper for a month, and you're turning the tables so soon?"
Gu Nanfeng let her go, frowned, took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped his palms. Now he had another bad impression of someone - he was easily self-indulgent!
"I want to clarify the confession. There was someone else who confessed to you in the school newspaper, but for various reasons. I was just using a pseudonym." Jiang Cha Cha took two steps back and shrugged. "It seems I thought too much. Thank you for paying for the abalone biscuits today. I will definitely pay you back someday."
"I'm glad you know." Gu Nanfeng raised his eyes and saw that Jiang Cha Cha had his cell phone in her hand.
"Hey, you!" Gu Nanfeng reacted and started to chase after him, but Jiang Cha Cha rushed to the taxi on the side of the road first, stepped into it, and drove away.
Through the rearview mirror, Jiang Cha Cha saw Gu Nanfeng trying hard to chase for a few steps, but was soon left in a twilight zone.
The driver even asked curiously, "Did you have a fight with your boyfriend?"
Jiang Cha Cha looked at the spoils she had obtained, the latest model, with joy.
Well, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that he didn’t set up a face lock screen. Just pull up gently to enter the menu.
Most people in the upper class feel absolutely safe in their environment, so they don't do this kind of thing.
An evil angel flew into his mind. Jiang Cha Cha laughed, thinking about what he could dig out from the book that would be of benefit to him. As he flipped through the pages, his dark pupils gradually enlarged.
In the photos, she actually saw many screenshots of her reports on the marine environment.
Jiang Cha Cha then remembered what Jin Xiaocan had told her about Gu Nanfeng, that he was studying in the Department of Marine Management.
Long before she entered T University, she had published many reports on the marine environment under the pen name "Hai Xiao", some of which were from so long ago that she herself could not find them.
He actually collected them very completely.
Jiang Cha Cha couldn't help but laugh out loud: "It turns out this guy is my fan!"
This feeling is still very wonderful. Since the unreliable senior schoolmate suddenly left, she and he have developed an inextricable connection in the dark.
Now she discovered that they had had intersections a long time ago.
After returning to school, Jiang Cha Cha threw the abalone biscuit into the arms of Jin Xiao Can who was playing games: "Here you go, an abalone biscuit worth two thousand and three."
Jin Xiaocan was shocked: "Two thousand three? Are you gold-plated?"
"It's not gold-plated, but I lost my phone while trying to buy this for you."
Jin Xiaocan's eyes narrowed by half: "Oh, your broken phone that you have used for three years? Just throw it away."
Jiang Cha Cha curled her lips at her and said, "Okay, I'll deduct the money for my broken phone from your salary this month."
Jin Xiaocan admitted his mistake and quickly tilted his head like a spoiled child: "Boss, I was wrong."
If Jiang Cha Cha hadn't accidentally known the secret in Gu Nanfeng's mobile phone, it would have been difficult for her to forgive the "culprit" Jin Xiaocan.
Originally, she really wanted to sell Gu Nanfeng's mobile phone for some money, but this idea was quickly defeated by her sense of justice.
—I’m Jiang Cha Cha from the Journalism Department. How could I do such a petty theft?
Jiang Cha Cha decided to return the phone to its owner early tomorrow morning and pretend nothing had happened.
But the idea is beautiful, the reality is cruel.
Soon, when Jiang Cha Cha finished washing up and returned to bed to prepare for sleep, Gu Nanfeng's cell phone rang.
Seeing that the caller ID showed an unsaved number, she picked up the phone: "Hello."
"Jiang Cha Cha, you are suspected of theft. I'll give you a few minutes to return the phone."
It’s Gu Nanfeng!
He is so quick, he bought a new phone so quickly?
Jiang Cha Cha panicked for a moment, but then regained her composure: "I never thought that Mr. Gu, who is so wealthy, would be so fussy about a cell phone. You are so anxious, is there something shameful in the phone?"
The person on the other end of the phone was silent for two seconds: "Did you peek at my phone?"
Jiang Cha Cha answered quickly: "No."
The person on the other end of the phone spoke calmly, easily exposing her lie: "Then you have seen it."
Jiang Cha Cha bit her lip and remained silent for two seconds.
The person on the other end of the phone said again: "Jiang Cha Cha, your plan to threaten me with the information will not work. Return the phone quickly."
Jiang Cha Cha yawned: "I've already gone to bed. I'll have to pay it back tomorrow."
The person on the other end of the phone said in a colder tone: "Aren't you afraid that I will call the police?"
Jiang Cha Cha heard the threat, and the stone in her heart fell to the ground: "Don't worry, Master Gu is a big shot, he won't cause trouble for himself for such a small matter."
If you want to call the police, you should have done it long ago. Why do you have to keep saying it? Rich people generally hate going through this kind of routine.
Jiang Cha Cha hung up the phone happily, turned off the phone and threw it aside.
Jin Xiaocan, who was lying on the opposite bed, stared at her in amazement and took a deep breath: "Were you talking to Gu Nanfeng on the phone just now?"
Jiang Cha Cha hid half of her head in the quilt: "Yeah."
Jin Xiaocan straightened up excitedly, and banged his head against the ceiling: "But why? Did you see Gu Nanfeng when you went to buy cakes just now? Or did you lose your phone because of Gu Nanfeng?"
Jiang Chacha responded to someone with the back of her head and fell asleep. She didn't care about anything to do with Gu Nanfeng. She didn't care about anything except the new day's plan to make money.
The next day, Jiang Cha Cha showed up in the school cafeteria at ten o'clock on time, only to see Gu Nanfeng standing there like a god, waiting for her to appear.
Is he here to wait and see?
Jiang Cha Cha took out his phone and shook it. He reached out to take it, but she deftly put her hands behind her back and said, "Anyway, it's a fact that you turned a blind eye yesterday and caused me to lose my phone. You should at least show some appreciation and compensate me, right?"
Gu Nanfeng nodded calmly, not wanting to comment on someone's ungrateful behavior without any factual basis, but said, "Okay, then I'll give you a choice. Do you want cash, or a green channel to enter the inner hall to see the lunch dishes today?"
Jiang Cha Cha rolled her eyes and slammed on the brakes: "Why do you have the final say? The cafeteria is under your control now?"
Gu Nanfeng naturally would not reveal a word about his true purpose. He turned sideways to show her Chen Muda's attentive look as he nodded and bowed to him.
…
Considering his absolute physical advantage of 1.85 meters, Jiang Cha Cha told herself that a good woman would not suffer a loss in front of her, so she nodded and chose the latter.
Gu Nanfeng took back the phone and let her in.
Jiang Cha Cha looked back every few steps and stared at him. She always felt that something was wrong. The dangerous aura was getting stronger and stronger.
She didn't notice that Gu Nanfeng, who was standing against the light, had a subtle calculation in his eyes.
Jiang Cha Cha was writing down today's menu on the whiteboard in the inner hall. Chen Muda nudged her with his elbow and said, "Cha Cha, how did Master Gu let you in? How did you do that?"
Seeing Uncle Chen's face glowing with gossip, Jiang Cha Cha also reciprocated: "Uncle Chen, isn't he the high and mighty Master Gu? Why does he keep going to the cafeteria recently? What is he doing?"
Chen Muda didn't notice that Jiang Cha Cha asked instead of answering, and stroked his chin and said, "I don't know the details, but it should be related to the recent turnover of the cafeteria. Didn't I say that some people above are starting to pay attention to this matter?"
Jiang Cha Cha frowned. Could it be that the danger she sensed was really related to Gu Nanfeng?
No way, would the son of a prestigious group care about such trivial matters?
Jiang Cha Cha walked out of the cafeteria with the latest information half-believing and half-doubting. She was about to go to the company to hand over the information to Jin Xiaocan, but she didn't expect that Gu Nanfeng was still waiting at the door.
Jiang Cha Cha looked alert: "What else do you want?"
Gu Nanfeng put his hands behind his back and said sincerely, "Jiang Cha Cha, I think there are some misunderstandings between us, and we have left a bad impression on each other. We are all classmates, there is no need to become enemies, right?"
What he said was true, but why did Jiang Cha Cha feel so scared when she lowered her eyes and looked at the friendly hand he extended to her?
What does he want to do?
"I don't think we are enemies! It's just..."
Before Jiang Cha Cha finished speaking, Gu Nanfeng pulled her hand over and held it: "That's great. To express my apology, please give me a chance to apologize."
Before Jiang Cha Cha could react, she was pushed forward by him.
A few minutes later, she was taken to the snack street opposite the school and sat in a pizza restaurant.
Jiang Cha Cha stared at the generous set meal for two that someone at the table had ordered, and immediately understood. She crossed her arms and said, "Mr. Gu, if you want to use this method to delay me from returning to the company, it's too childish."
Gu Nanfeng sat upright, enveloped by the sunlight coming in from the French windows, like a warrior in armor coated with gold. He opened his lips slightly and said, "How could that be? You can send a message to the employees right now to prepare takeaway food for lunch." As he spoke, he took out a brand new mobile phone and pushed it in front of her like a magic trick.
Jiang Cha Cha was stunned. He just said he was going out for a while. Was he going to buy a cell phone?
Jiang Cha Cha shuddered and looked at him: "You don't have to be so polite. If you really want me to send a message, just lend me your phone."
Gu Nanfeng took out his cell phone and handed it over: "Okay."
Jiang Cha Cha sent today's cafeteria menu to Jin Xiaocan, while staring at Gu Nanfeng with a puzzled look on her face.
After sending the message, Jiang Cha Cha took a small piece of pizza and stood up: "Then this is considered that I accept your apology. The phone is too expensive, I appreciate it. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Gu Nanfeng did not try to keep her, but watched Jiang Cha Cha leave with a faint smile on his face.
"Ginger Cha Cha, the first round, let's wait and see."
"Why did the number of orders suddenly decrease by half?" In the office, Jiang Cha Cha and Jin Xiaocan looked at each other, each holding a mobile phone, which was unusually quiet.
Jin Xiaocan also looked confused: "I don't know!"
This is the first time this has happened.
Jiang Chacha frowned: "This doesn't make sense." She thought of the phone that Gu Nanfeng handed over, and couldn't help but ask Jin Xiaocan, "Are you sure you prepared it according to the menu I sent you?"
"Yes, that's right!" Jin Xiaocan handed the phone to her for confirmation.
After Jiang Cha Cha saw the content of the message, she confirmed that Gu Nanfeng did not do anything after she left, so it must be the thing he did before!
Jiang Cha Cha's head suddenly buzzed, as if something had suddenly dawned on her.
"Chacha, where are you going?"
Jin Xiaocan followed Jiang Cha Cha to the school cafeteria, and sure enough, the dishes he saw in the steaming windowsill were not the ones he had seen with his own eyes.
Chen Muda has disappeared underground.
hateful!
Jin Xiaocan pointed at the dish and exclaimed, "Boss, this... this is different from what you gave me!"
Jiang Cha Cha: "I have eyes, I can see. It's Gu Nanfeng."
Jin Xiaocan exclaimed again: "Gu Nanfeng? Why would Master Gu target us?"
Jiang Cha Cha had a headache and covered his forehead: "I want to know too."
If he said that this happened because of the feud, that was impossible. He had already appeared in the cafeteria before he had the feud with her.
When Jiang Cha Cha turned around, Gu Nanfeng and Xu Biao leaned against the wall with their arms folded, looking at the results of his mischief with satisfaction.
Gu Nanfeng raised his eyes, met Jiang Cha Cha's gaze, and nodded to her very gentlemanly.
Jiang Cha Cha glared at him and signaled to Jin Xiao Can: "Xiao Can, let's go."
"okay."
Jiang Cha Cha passed him by, thinking only of finishing the delivery of the few orders she had.
When she counted the accounts in the evening, she found that today's turnover was half less than in previous years.
Jin Xiaocan was a little anxious: "Cha Cha, this is not a solution!"
"Of course we can't go on like this." Jiang Cha Cha held the money, with a raging fire burning in her heart.
She originally thought that he was her fan and wanted to get to know him again, but she didn't expect...
She especially hated the feeling of falling down again after finally getting better! She had to find a way to kick Gu Nanfeng out of the cafeteria!
…
On the other side, Gu Nanfeng looked at the cafeteria's rising turnover today. Xu Biao poked his head out from behind him and said, "According to this trend, a five percentage point increase in three months is not nonsense! Brother, how did you do it?"
"I didn't think it would be that complicated. All we need to do is stop her and not give her the chance to prepare in advance." Gu Nanfeng threw the report on the table and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Xu Biao looked at Gu Nanfeng and said, "I heard that not only did you let her into the cafeteria today, you also bought her a bunch of pizza?"
Gu Nanfeng frowned, and Xu Biao shrugged: "I can't help it. My girlfriend is in the pizza shop, and she told me."
Gu Nanfeng rolled his eyes at him unhappily and stretched himself: "Today I am luring you into a trap and then using your trick against you. Starting tomorrow, you won't have to go through so much trouble."
Seeing how confident he was, Xu Biao couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure Jiang Cha Cha is easy to handle?"
Gu Nanfeng buried his head in a pile of materials borrowed from the library and responded to Xu Biao: "Well, the rest of the practical work is left to you."
Xu Biao: ...
Gu Nanfeng did not intend to put 100% of his energy into increasing the canteen's turnover by 5%. There was an academic conference on marine environment, and many domestic and foreign experts were invited. He had to put his heart and soul into making a report and show off in front of those experts.
