For two consecutive days, Gu Nanfeng stopped using hacker attacks and instead started distributing coupons in the cafeteria, directly locking out the students' business.
Jiang Cha Cha could feel Gu Nanfeng's determination that day. Gu Nanfeng was serious. She also deeply understood his determination of "not giving up", because it was all transferred to the turnover - he could not go to the overseas research group, so the last line of defense of not transferring to another department must be maintained.
At lunchtime, Jin Xiaocan looked at the two extremely quiet mobile phones in his hands with a depressed look, and sighed: "Boss, why don't we admit defeat? This kind of ruthless trick of burning money to gain publicity may be affordable for Mr. Gu, but we can't!"
Jiang Cha Cha scratched her forehead in annoyance. Whether she admitted defeat or not was not the point. The point was that if she retreated like this, not only would Gu Qi come to cause trouble, but she would also break her promise to her father!
While Jiang Cha Cha was hesitating, He Yao sent a WeChat message: "Want to come out and chat? I'm in the store."
Jiang Cha Cha thought about it and replied, "Okay."
She went to the store and saw He Yao chatting with the old lady.
The old lady smiled so much that her face wrinkled up, and she patted He Yao's shoulder affectionately. He Yao turned his head and saw her coming, stood up and waved, and walked over to open the freezer door.
"We have a lot of red bean popsicles in stock this time." He Yao took two and handed one to Jiang Cha Cha, teasing.
Jiang Cha Cha smiled knowingly: "Well, I'll treat you this time."
The two walked to the open space in front of the store and sat down on the bench.
"I know about Gu Nanfeng's coupon distribution. I've studied it. He's not just trying to attract attention. He lets students keep score by offering two for one free. The more you buy, the more you get. It's very attractive by using a pyramid-like structure," He Yao said. "On the surface, it looks flawless."
Jiang Chacha became even more discouraged when she heard this: "Really? Should I give in then?"
"Why?" He Yao asked a nonsense question.
"Should I compete with him in spending money? I can't beat him." Jiang Cha Cha repeated Jin Xiaocan's words.
"You really can't compete with the coupon distribution." He Yao nodded, "But we can find another way."
Jiang Cha Cha turned her head and suddenly felt that he was shining with wisdom.
"It's like this..." He Yao leaned his head closer and introduced his alternative method.
Simply put, it is to distribute Gu Nanfeng's coupons. Students can collect coupons carefully and use them in the cafeteria, or they can use the coupons they collected on her platform. She provides more choices, and students can also use them internally. In this way, she can not only suppress Gu Nanfeng's turnover, but also get a piece of the pie.
Jiang Cha Cha stroked his chin, thought for a while and decided that it was feasible: "But what if Gu Nanfeng also follows suit?"
"This trick is not that powerful. If he uses it again, he will be at a disadvantage." He Yao smiled confidently, "The rest is up to you to negotiate with those merchants. The profit from each transaction will be smaller, but the advantage is small profits but quick turnover. Are you confident?"
Jiang Cha Cha stood up and nodded: "Yes! At most, my share of the dividend will be less. I will just beat Gu Nanfeng first!"
He Yao looked up at Jiang Cha Cha, whose fighting spirit had been rekindled, with a doting look in his eyes: "You are truly the girl who loves making money the most that I have ever seen."
"Does the love of making money have to do with men and women?" Jiang Cha Cha disagreed. "I want to buy a big house for my dad in the future. How can I not make money?"
He Yao nodded and asked again: "Isn't it mom and dad?"
"I grew up in a single-parent family." Jiang Cha Cha sniffed, "Over the years, I have depended on my father for survival. My father used to be a big boss, but after I was born, he went bankrupt. A monk said that I was unlucky in wealth, but I don't believe in fate."
He Yao was full of admiration: "You are quite frank. If it were someone else, they would have embellished it a little."
Jiang Cha Cha sucked on a popsicle stick: "It is what it is. It can't be made perfect by embellishing it."
He Yao nodded and said thoughtfully: "Yes, but many people don't understand this truth."
Jiang Cha Cha turned her head and saw a rare sadness on He Yao's gentle face: "He Yao, what's wrong with you?"
He Yao came back to his senses and shook his head: "Nothing, I've said everything I wanted to say."
After talking to He Yao about her recent depression, Jiang Cha Cha felt much more cheerful. Just as Jiang Cha Cha was about to get up and leave, He Yao stopped her and said, "Hey, you're leaving like this, isn't that too realistic?"
Jiang Chacha turned her head: "Hmm?"
A few minutes later, Jiang Cha Cha was taken to the game room by He Yao.
He Yao handed the toy sniper rifle to Jiang Cha Cha: "How about we have a competition?"
Jiang Cha Cha is usually busy making money and studying, and is not very good at this kind of entertainment. After thinking for a while, she suggested: "Best of three games?"
He Yao agreed readily.
After the game started, Jiang Cha Cha realized that this seemingly simple shooting game was actually quite difficult. She was always a little late and missed her target, and was ambushed just when she had a good chance to shoot.
In the tense atmosphere, a few such setbacks were enough to break down her psychological defenses, and her hands gradually became out of control.
At this time, He Yao said, "Think about the people and things you hate the most, concentrate, and try again."
Gu Nanfeng’s face immediately appeared in front of Jiang Cha Cha.
Miraculously enough, she came from behind and gradually caught up with the opponent.
After three games, Jiang Cha Cha won two games and actually won.
He Yao put down his gun and looked at Jiang Cha Cha with a smile: "How do you feel?"
Jiang Cha Cha nodded excitedly: "Yeah, it's really refreshing."
"This is a good way to relieve stress." He casually handed her a tissue. When Jiang Cha Cha smelled the fragrance on the tissue, she realized that his purpose was to relieve her stress.
Jiang Cha Cha's heart warmed again, and she joked, "You look so gentle, but I didn't expect you would like this way of relieving stress."
He Yao curled his lips: "It seems that the impression I give you is very stereotyped."
Jiang Cha Cha suddenly remembered what he said, "There's a long way to go," and her heart began to beat involuntarily.
Is this an understanding that there is a long way to go?
After leaving the game hall, He Yao and Jiang Cha Cha were walking side by side. A group of high school boys ran over in a hurry and bumped into Jiang Cha Cha.
He Yao hugged her and blocked it with his body.
The figure passed by like the wind, and when she raised her head, his face was very close to her.
He took her hand and said, "There are a lot of people here. I'll lead you."
Jiang Cha Cha lowered her eyes. He Yao's hands were different from Gu Nanfeng's. His hands were cool and warm, and they were not as strong as Gu Nanfeng's. They were like a vague embrace.
When they arrived at the big round plate at the corner, Jiang Cha Cha saw Gu Nanfeng and Tang Meini, who were also holding hands.
Tang Meini smiled and looked at He Yao and Jiang Cha Cha: "What a coincidence, how come you are here too."
Jiang Cha Cha smiled awkwardly: "Yes, what a coincidence."
She looked at Gu Nanfeng, and Gu Nanfeng's cold expression, which showed no emotion, suddenly became hypocritical.
He is playing hard to get. He says he doesn't like Minnie, but his body is very honest. Otherwise, why would he accompany her out shopping?
At that moment, the vague area in Jiang Cha Cha's heart suddenly became clear.
He and Tang Meini are a perfect match.
And now she and He Yao look like a couple.
Thinking of this, Jiang Cha Cha no longer felt awkward: "He Yaogang took me to the game hall to play shooting, it was quite fun, why don't you guys go and try it too."
Before Tang Meini could even say a word of praise, Gu Nanfeng said coldly, "That kind of place is too noisy and not suitable for us."
"Then I won't bother you anymore." He Yao looked at Jiang Cha Cha, "Cha Cha, let's go buy some drinks."
Jiang Cha Cha nodded, then glanced at Gu Nanfeng and walked past him.
This time, he did not stop it, nor did he make any comment.
As they passed each other, Jiang Cha Cha could not hear anything around her. She could only hear the wind leaking from her heart, like thousands of horses galloping past.
She didn't know what was bothering her.
Maybe, it was because of Gu Nanfeng's lie; maybe, I thought that through the heart-to-heart talk with Gu Nanfeng, we got closer and more honest, and now it seems more like a joke; maybe...
She lied to herself and didn't have the courage to admit that she had feelings for Gu Nanfeng.
He Yao had been silently accompanying Jiang Chacha, taking in her frustration, and took her to his company. It was not until they stood at the door that she came to her senses and asked where this place was.
"My company." He Yao pushed the door and led her inside.
Jiang Cha Cha looked towards the door and saw a gold-plated sign with "Yaohao Technology Company" written in regular script.
He Yao usually keeps a low profile, but he actually has a company. Walking in, you'll see a postmodern decoration full of technology, and it's a large two-story building.
If I had to sum it up in one key word, it would be - high-end.
Compared to her small takeout company, it was nothing.
He Yao turned around and pulled over a chair: "Sit down, I'll get you a cup of coffee."
Jiang Cha Cha was just about to say no when He Yao had already strode towards the tea room.
Jiang Cha Cha turned her head slightly and could see from the side that behind a layer of hazy glass in the middle was a room with a high-end coffee machine, a water dispenser and other things. She couldn't help but secretly admired: "I didn't expect..."
"Didn't expect anything?" A loud and deep voice suddenly appeared in her ears, scaring Jiang Cha Cha so much that she almost fell off the chair.
“Hahaha, I scared you!” A sturdy boy with dark skin held onto his chair and laughed to himself, “Sorry, sorry.”
This apology is quite funny.
He stretched out his chubby hand and said, "Hello, my name is Zhao Haozi, and I'm He Yao's partner. It's rare for me to see a new face here, and a girl, so I'm a little excited."
After saying this, he burst into laughter again.
Jiang Cha Cha hesitantly extended her hand: "Ah, hello, my name is Jiang Cha Cha."
"Is it the one that everyone likes to find fault with?" Zhao Haozi blinked his small eyes and put them close to his face.
"Are you the kind of mouse in Tom and Jerry?" Jiang Cha Cha retorted bluntly.
Zhao Haozi was stunned and then burst into laughter again.
At this time , He Yao came out with two cups of coffee, and Zhao Haozi said, "Yao, the beauty you brought is really beautiful and hard to mess with."
He Yao raised his lips slightly arrogantly: "Of course, the person I like can't be bad."
This unexpected wave of confessions and compliments made Jiang Cha Cha blush.
Zhao Haozi tactfully found an excuse to leave, giving the two some time alone.
Jiang Cha Cha said casually: "Your partner is quite interesting, haha."
"He and I were classmates, just like you and Jin Xiaocan. We had similar interests, so we started working together. Don't be fooled by his carefree appearance. He is very good at computer technology and is a technical backbone of the company." He Yao introduced, "The company has just been established for ten months, and it has made two big orders, laying the foundation for next year's profitability. It is moving step by step in a good direction."
Jiang Cha Cha nodded and thought to herself: For these two people, their new company can afford such a high-end office, so they will definitely be promoted step by step.
"Our five-year plan is to become a leader in the technology industry and strive to be listed within ten years." He Yao took a sip of coffee. "This is our conservative plan."
Jiang Cha Cha had been listening quietly, and at the end she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Why did you bring me to see your company, and tell me so much about the company's development plan?"
"I want you to know that I have potential. It's not a loss if you miss Gu Nanfeng."
Jiang Cha Cha couldn't describe how she felt when she heard these words.
All she knew was that her ears felt burning hot afterwards.
He Yao exposed her calmly, but also comforted her in his own way.
In the end, Jin Xiaocan, who had listened to the whole process, lamented with Jiang Cha Cha.
"Boss, Mr. Gu and Mr. He, you are so lucky, you are so blessed!" After saying this, Jin Xiaocan couldn't help but lament why he didn't have such a blessing.
Jiang Cha Cha felt as if a large ball of paste was stuffed into her head. Her heart was completely confused and she felt really terrible.
She decided not to meet He Yao and concentrate on her own work.
Another week passed, and Gu Nanfeng's canteen's sales dropped sharply.
At that time, Gu Nanfeng and Xu Biao went out for night racing.
At the beach near an exit of the T City Expressway, the two men took off their helmets and let the wind blow.
Xu Biao glanced at someone who was silent beside him and said, "You blocked my car several times just now, Gu Nanfeng, are you dissatisfied with me in some way?"
Gu Nanfeng stared coldly at the sparkling sea without saying a word.
If it were any other time, Gu Nanfeng would have responded to him mercilessly - I have always been dissatisfied with you.
It seems that someone is really in a bad mood.
Xu Biao said to himself, "Three months are almost up. Gu Nanfeng, why don't you give in first and come back to the company to help, so that both of us can save face."
Gu Nanfeng: "Are you advising me to give up early?"
"Not really." Xu Biao cleared his throat. "Hasn't your uncle been preparing for the official announcement of your succession to the family business? Rather than waiting for the success or failure in three months to force our relationship to become strained again, it's better to take advantage of it now while the time is still right and you still have the main choice."
Gu Nanfeng understood what Xu Biao meant. Gu Qi had made that bet with him at that time just to change his choice.
He turned around and put his helmet back on. "The relationship is already strained, why should I worry about making it worse?"
…
Xu Biao sighed. How could he have such a stubborn and one-track-minded friend?
In the night, the wind rushed past.
It is far away from the city center and sparsely populated.
The night was like a vicious wolf, and the accelerator that Gu Nanfeng stepped on was like a hunter's knife, tearing open the wolf's mouth.
His mind was full of Jiang Cha Cha and He Yao holding hands in the mall, the way they smiled at each other, and the way she was relieved when she saw him and Tang Meini together...
Tang Meini said that she knew Jiang Cha Cha best and wanted to help him come up with ideas and increase sales, and only then did he agree to go shopping with her.
But that misunderstanding happened.
Is it a misunderstanding? The way someone likes He Yao doesn't seem like a misunderstanding at all!
These days, Jiang Cha Cha always likes to run to the cafeteria, and she looks very determined to defeat him, and she is always in the same frame with He Yao.
She doesn't have the brain to think of so many tricks. It's obvious that it was He Yao who helped, but she always ignored him.
With a loud bang, Gu Nanfeng and the motorcycle fell to the ground.
He was thrown out wildly by inertia and rolled more than ten meters away.
The night fell again like the skirt of a running girl.
Gu Nanfeng woke up again and saw Gu Qi's cold face.
Xu Biao breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally woke up."
God knows, his breath is stuck in his throat. If Young Master Gu doesn't wake up, he will faint in this cold atmosphere.
Seeing that Gu Nanfeng also had a cold expression on his face, Xu Biao tactfully withdrew.
In the ward, only Gu Nanfeng and Gu Qi were left, both silent.
After a while, Gu Qi said, "You have managed to escape death this time. As for your previous willfulness, it is written off. I will not hold it against you anymore."
Gu Nanfeng frowned slightly, thinking of the words that Xu Biao had just advised him, but he didn't expect that this person would use them first.
Gu Qi continued, "The company's news department has already contacted the outside world and will allow you to enter Gu's company and make your official debut."
Just as Gu Nanfeng was about to say something, Gu Qi interrupted him and said, "Don't worry, I won't announce that you are the heir until you are willing. After all, the Gu family's throne is a golden throne, not some unwanted rubbish."
Gu Qi's last sentence was obviously meant to show off to Gu Nanfeng. If Gu Nanfeng didn't know the situation, he wouldn't force him. He kept a high profile, so even if he didn't win, he wouldn't lose too badly.
What's more, his strategy of retreating in order to advance was very clever, leaving Gu Nanfeng no room to say no.
Gu Nanfeng is not a willful and unreasonable person, and deep down he doesn't necessarily want to fall out with his father.
Since his father said so, he did not refute: "I know."
Gu Qi unbuttoned his suit and glanced at the watch on his wrist: "Then you have a good rest. I'll ask Uncle Li to stay. Tell him if you have anything."
Having said that, he turned around and walked out of the ward, and then Uncle Li walked in from outside the ward.
Uncle Li has a beard and slightly gray temples. He is a few years younger than Gu Qi, but he looks much older than Gu Qi. He followed Gu Qi when he was young and is the second in command of the Gu family. He doesn't talk much, but he is very loyal to Gu Qi. He nodded respectfully at first, and then said, "Master, you are too reckless this time."
Gu Nanfeng didn't say anything.
"Do you know how anxious the chairman was when he received the call from the hospital?" Uncle Li's respectful tone was somewhat reproachful.
Gu Nanfeng took a breath of cold air, his expression showing pain: "Uncle Li...it hurts..."
Uncle Li was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "I'll go call a doctor."
After Uncle Li left, Gu Nanfeng's expression relaxed again.
That's right, he lied to Uncle Li, he just didn't want to hear Uncle Li say more. Uncle Li was a man of few words, always keeping his distance, even when he and Gu Qi were in such a bad mood, he would not easily blame him for anything.
This time, Gu Qi must have really lost his composure, and Uncle Li must have been really anxious.
He didn't want to hear the truth, as it would destroy the shell he had worked so hard to build.
The door was opened again, and Gu Nanfeng looked up, thinking it was Uncle Li.
"Ginger tea." Gu Nanfeng was stunned.
She suddenly appeared and looked him up and down with wide eyes. Her hair was messy like a madman, but her face was full of concern and shock.
"Are...are you okay?" Jiang Cha Cha slowly walked up to Gu Nanfeng with an incredulous look on her face.
When Xu Biao informed her just now, he said that Gu Nanfeng had been in a serious car accident and was wrapped up like a mummy. His life was in danger!
Gu Nanfeng's eyes turned secretly and he understood that it was this guy Xu Biao.
"It's okay, it's just a concussion and three contusions of the lumbar vertebrae. The doctor said I was almost paralyzed." Gu Nanfeng smiled calmly.
Jiang Cha Cha was frightened: "This... this is okay?"
"It's so late, and you came to see me?" Gu Nanfeng looked at her straightly, "Are you worried about me?"
"I... I just came over to see if you were dead." Jiang Cha Cha pulled a stool over and said stubbornly, "After all, you still owe me money. When are you going to pay me for the errands I owe you for rushing to finish the report?"
Gu Nanfeng noticed that she was wearing her shoes backwards and pointed at the phone on the bedside table: "Give me the phone."
Jiang Cha Cha handed over the phone.
Gu Nanfeng operated it and Jiang Chacha's phone rang.
Gu Nanfeng said: "Take a look."
Jiang Cha Cha opened WeChat without knowing why, and found that Gu Nanfeng had transferred 20,000 yuan to her.
"Didn't you say you never use your phone to pay?"
Gu Nanfeng: "Well, originally I didn't need to. But to accommodate common people like you, I linked my bank card to WeChat. Now I don't owe you the delivery fee, right?"
"But the delivery fee can't be that much!" Could it be that he has become stupid after a car accident?
"The rest, just think of it as something you owe me." Gu Nanfeng narrowed his eyes slightly arrogantly, "For someone like me, if I tell others that I owe someone, no one will believe it. But if others owe me, it's much more believable, don't you think?"
Jiang Cha Cha felt like she was being tricked again: "I won't take this money!"
Gu Nanfeng covered his abdomen, the trick he used before always worked: "Ah... it hurts..."
Jiang Cha Cha really leaned over and asked, "How are you?"
In a flash, he pulled her phone over, clicked on the receive button, then raised the phone and said, "Jiang Cha Cha, you better accept it."
"Damn it! You lied to me again!" Jiang Cha Cha was annoyed and rushed over to get the phone back.
"It hurts, it hurts, you're pressing on me."
"You devil! Why don't you just crash yourself to death!"
"ah……"
“Give me back my phone!”
…
"Young Master, the doctor is here." Uncle Li led a group of doctors in and happened to see Jiang Cha Cha holding down Gu Nanfeng.
Everyone was stunned.
Seeing this, Jiang Cha Cha hurriedly retreated away from Gu Nanfeng with a blushing face. Coincidentally, Tang Meini also came in with a lunch box.
Jiang Chacha's route during the retreat seemed so unclear.
"Meini...I..." Jiang Chacha stood up straight with a start and pointed at the phone in Gu Nanfeng's hand, "I went to get the phone."
She tried to wink at Gu Nanfeng, but Gu Nanfeng looked straight at Uncle Li and the doctors: "My wound seems to have split open, please help me take a look."
Uncle Li called the doctors over, and Jiang Cha Cha was left alone.
Tang Meini, who was standing in the dark, walked into the brightly lit area, pretending not to see Jiang Chacha. She put the lunch box in her hand on the bedside table and said to Gu Nanfeng, "I made some porridge myself and will feed you later."
Jiang Cha Cha felt extremely embarrassed. There were so many people in the room, but she was the only one who was redundant.
The men in white coats surrounded Gu Nanfeng like a city wall, and she couldn't get her phone back.
She quietly left the ward and looked down at the sneakers on her feet. Only then did she feel uncomfortable wearing them. When she found a bench to sit down and change her shoes, Tang Meini came out and called her, "Cha Cha."
Jiang Cha Cha stood up.
Tang Meini smiled: "Thank you for coming to see Gu Nanfeng."
Her tone was polite yet distant, and it was fake.
"Cha Cha, Gu Nanfeng and I get along very well. He will be going back to the company to help his father in a few days. I hope you and He Yao can get along well too." Tang Meini said, "It's not easy for us to meet someone we like."
Tang Meini's eyes were like two pieces of glass, performing rolling forbearance under the dim light of the corridor.
Jiang Cha Cha knew very well that this was her subtle warning.
Jiang Cha Cha pursed her lips and smiled: "Actually, He Yao sent me here. We are all classmates. I heard that classmate Gu was injured, so I came to visit."
Tang Meini pulled her hand with a look of relief: "Cha Cha, can we still be good friends?"
Only when she saw Jiang Cha Cha nodded awkwardly did Tang Meini turn around and said, "Then you should go back quickly. I have to go and take care of Gu Nanfeng as well."
Her hair flicked gently across Jiang Cha Cha's face.
Jiang Cha Cha looked at her back, and a voice sounded softly in his heart - Are we really good friends?
After coming out of the hospital, Jiang Cha Cha walked on the road listlessly, thinking of what Tang Meini said, "Gu Nanfeng will go back to the company in a few days to help his father," and felt depressed.
He clearly said so firmly that he would not give up even if he failed. Could he have changed so quickly?
"Beep beep--" Suddenly a beam of light fell beside her. She turned her head and saw He Yao sticking his head out of the car.
Jiang Cha Cha was stunned. She said He Yao sent her here just to lie to Tang Meini. How could he really be here?
"you……"
"I called you, and it was Gu Nanfeng who answered the phone. He asked me to pick you up." He Yao didn't know why he had to tell the whole story so honestly, but when he saw Jiang Cha Cha walking out under the street light as if she had just been drenched by the rain, he didn't want to lie.
Jiang Cha Cha nodded and got in the car.
He Yao reached out and touched her lowered head: "What's wrong? Gu Nanfeng... is he seriously injured?"
Jiang Cha Cha shook her head and remained silent.
He Yao didn't ask any questions and just sat with her quietly.
After a while, Jiang Cha Cha said, "He Yao, tonight I discovered that the friendship I thought was indestructible had already changed, and it was outsiders who caused it to change."
He Yao smiled faintly: "It's normal."
Jiang Cha Cha turned her head and saw that he looked very experienced. She couldn't help but ask, "Have you had this experience too?"
He Yao looked ahead, his thoughts sinking into memories: "I once thought that I could be with that person forever. In the end, no matter how beautiful the past was, it couldn't withstand the reality. Sometimes, a strong relationship doesn't have to hit a big reef. Just a small thing is enough to shake the earth."
Jiang Cha Cha nodded: "You are right. There are many things that we firmly believe will never change. In fact, we just cannot accept their changes."
While she was lost in thought, He Yao patted her head again: "Don't be too pessimistic. Some people you don't care about may stay with you longer."
Jiang Cha Cha was stunned and forced a smile.
The news of Gu Nanfeng's car accident spread quickly in the school. Many people were talking about it, and many versions of the story were circulated.
Some people said that Gu Nanfeng was trapped in love and abused himself; some people said that Gu Nanfeng and Xu Biao fought for a woman, brothers turned against each other, and the accident happened; some people said that Gu Nanfeng was pursued by his enemies and the accident happened...
There are all kinds of opinions.
Anyway, as long as Gu Nanfeng didn't return to school, Jiang Cha Cha's ear would always be busy.
Tang Meini always goes to the hospital and asks people for dietary therapy prescriptions, which makes people associate her with Gu Nanfeng.
Jiang Cha Cha did not go to the hospital again. Since she did not get her own mobile phone back, she used Jin Xiaocan's mobile phone to take orders. If there was anything during class at school, Jin Xiaocan would notify her manually, which did not affect her daily life.
Without Gu Nanfeng's obstruction, Jiang Cha Cha's takeaway company returned to normal, business was booming, and she made a lot of money again, but she no longer felt excited.
He Yao would ask her out for dinner from time to time, and they would often walk on the street and be subject to gossipy glances from others.
Jiang Cha Cha had an illusion that these days were exactly how they were supposed to be, a true reflection of campus life.
Without Gu Nanfeng, Tang Meini seemed to be still abroad and had not returned. Her life was not missing anything.
A few days later, Professor Jiang found Jiang Cha Cha and asked her to do an exclusive interview for a serial report.
Seeing Professor Jiang looking excited again, Jiang Cha Cha guessed that he must be another big shot.
"Who? Another celebrity?"
Professor Jiang raised his eyebrows and smiled: "She is still a big star from our school."
"A big star from our school?" Jiang Cha Cha didn't react. "Who?"
I haven't heard of anyone in school participating in any competitions recently.
"Gu Nanfeng from the Department of Marine Management, Gu Group just announced that he will return to the family company to help. He will officially join Gu Group and make his debut." Professor Jiang patted Jiang Cha Cha's shoulder, "Hey, didn't you deal with him before?"
"I heard that Tang Meini is his girlfriend?" Professor Jiang lowered his voice and gossiped a little.
Jiang Chacha refused directly: "Professor Jiang, I won't go."
Professor Jiang was stunned: "Why?"
Jiang Cha Cha's dark eyes dropped: "No reason, Professor Jiang, please send someone else to complete this task."
Having said that, she turned and left.
Even though Professor Jiang called her from behind, she not only did not stop, but walked faster and faster.
Did Gu Nanfeng already know that Professor Jiang had such an arrangement? So he deliberately transferred 20,000 yuan to her in the hospital that day?
No, it's not possible.
But if it wasn't premeditated, why would she still have anything to do with him?
The peace she had finally regained was not to be destroyed!
Jiang Cha Cha ran to the mobile phone store, bought a mobile phone, registered a new number, and went home.
My father set up an oden stall on the side street next to his own building.
Young people passing by on their way home from get off work would buy a few skewers from his stall. Some would sit down to eat, but more would take it away. Once the city management came, Jiang Da would push the skewers downstairs of his house, which was convenient.
So in general, there is still a steady flow of small money.
After Jiang Chacha lost her cell phone, she used Jin Xiaocan's cell phone to report to her father that she was safe. Jiang Da kept asking her to buy another one, but she always said she didn't need it.
This time, after Jiang Cha Cha ordered a cup of oden, Jiang Da caught sight of the cell phone in her hand.
Jiang Da said with a smile: "Oh, my daughter is willing to spend money this time."
Jiang Cha Cha bit into some dried tofu and realized that he was talking about a new phone, so she forced a smile and said, "Well, the sales have been good these days, so I bought one."
Jiang Da nodded: "That's right, you're still young, don't be too stingy."
When Jiang Cha Cha heard the word "scratch", she felt unhappy: "Dad, where did I scratch?"
Jiang Da smiled and said, "You are not stingy, are you? From childhood to adulthood, you would like to break a dime into two halves, oh no, four halves. I am worried that after you get married, your in-laws will dislike you."
Jiang Cha Cha bit the skewer angrily.
"What's wrong? Did you encounter something unhappy at school?" Jiang Da rubbed his hands and added two skewers of fresh squid to Jiang Cha Cha.
My daughter knows herself best. When she is unhappy, she will talk less, won't talk back, and will just eat quietly.
Jiang Cha Cha shook her head: "No."
Professor Jiang values ​​her, the takeaway sales are booming, and her relationship with He Yao is going well. Everything seems to be going so smoothly. What else could she have to worry about?
"Dad, I'm in love." Jiang Cha Cha's eyes were full of sincerity as she wanted to confide in him. However, at this moment, Gu Nanfeng's name inexplicably appeared in her mind.
"Really?" Jiang Da was slightly stunned and a little surprised.
"Well, and..."
Before he could even utter the name "He Yao", he suddenly heard the sound of a car braking suddenly behind him. Jiang Cha Cha turned her head and was so surprised that her jaw almost dropped!
A low-key black car stopped and Gu Nanfeng got out of the car.
He was wearing a black coat and came like a tall black tree with the wind, then sat down beside her very neatly.
The small table could only accommodate three or four people, but as soon as he arrived, he took up most of it.
Jiang Cha Cha's eyes almost popped out: "Why are you here?"
Gu Nanfeng looked at Jiang Da with a smile: "Uncle, give me one."
Jiang Da was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded and said yes. While filling the cup, he looked at Jiang Chacha and asked, "Is it him?"
Jiang Cha Cha quickly waved her hands: "No, he is not..."
Gu Nanfeng stood up and nodded, "Uncle, hello, I'm Gu Nanfeng, your daughter's boyfriend."
Jiang Cha Cha jumped up: "Dad, he's not! He's my best friend's boyfriend!"
She glared at Gu Nanfeng who had been ignoring her just now, and Gu Nanfeng glared back.
Jiang Da was unable to react to this barrage of information. He looked at Jiang Cha Cha, then at Gu Nanfeng: "Are you two-timing?"
Jiang Cha Cha was speechless for a moment and was about to explain that it was not the case.
Gu Nanfeng said, "Uncle, I've always liked Jiang Cha Cha." He turned to look at Jiang Cha Cha, "Which ear of yours heard me say that I was Tang Meini's boyfriend?"
Jiang Cha Cha was anxious. She didn't know what to say for a moment, so she had to shout stubbornly: "This is something that everyone in the school knows. Anyway, you are Tang Meini's boyfriend!"
"It's enough for me to know that I'm not." Gu Nanfeng said calmly, not forgetting to remind Jiang Da of the oden he was holding, "Uncle, is it ready?"
Jiang Da also handed the item over as if possessed by a demon: "Here it is."
Gu Nanfeng took the oden, thanked politely, then sat down again and started eating.
Jiang Cha Cha had no idea what kind of demon he was up to. He suddenly appeared here and made such a confession in front of his father, and even ate the oden!
"Is it delicious?" she asked through gritting her teeth.
"It's delicious." Gu Nanfeng looked at Jiang Da with a smile and flattered him, "Uncle's cooking skills are really good."
Jiang Cha Cha reached out and grabbed the cup: "You said it's delicious even though you haven't tried it. Don't you think it's a bit fake?"
Gu Nanfeng moved the cup back and said, "You are wrong. I will find it more delicious in the future."
Jiang Cha Cha snorted coldly: "Why are you running out here instead of staying in the hospital to recover?"
"Of course I'm almost well, so I came here..." He took out his cell phone from his coat pocket, "I'll give you this."
Jiang Cha Cha, who was originally facing him sideways, turned around and stirred the soup in her cup: "No need, I've already bought a new one."
Gu Nanfeng took her hand and slapped the phone into her hand: "Then treat it as our private plane from now on."
"you!"
"Are you not going to pay me back the money you owe me?" Gu Nanfeng suddenly raised his voice in the second half of his sentence.
Jiang Da heard it and came over to ask, "What? Cha Cha owes money?"
Jiang Cha Cha had no choice but to put away the phone immediately and waved her hand quickly: "Dad, you heard me wrong, I don't owe you any money."
"Uncle, what I just said was that Cha Cha didn't intend to repay the favor she owed me." Gu Nanfeng reacted quickly, one thing after another, as if it was a game.
Jiang Da then nodded as if relieved, smiled, and looked at Gu Nanfeng with a pleasant look.
Gu Nanfeng finished two cups of oden calmly, said goodbye to Jiang Da politely, and then turned around to leave.
Jiang Cha Cha said to Jiang Da, "I'll go see him off." Then she followed Gu Nanfeng to the car and threatened, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell Tang Meini that you harassed me?"
"I wish you would say it." Gu Nanfeng smiled faintly, "If you don't say it, I will say it too."
"Gu Nanfeng, I'm already with He Yao. You also have to be nice to Tang Meini and stop making things difficult for me!" Jiang Cha Cha warned him seriously and slammed the car door.
Gu Nanfeng stared at her, the coldness on his face slowly turned into a light smile, and he slowly leaned over.
Jiang Cha Cha stepped back subconsciously, even through the car door: "What are you doing?"
"So you like me too, right?" Gu Nanfeng said with a smile in his throat, "Otherwise, what are you doing?"
Jiang Cha Cha's face turned red. He actually argued with her!
"You... stop being so self-indulgent!"
He held her hand and pressed it against her chest: "Jiang Cha Cha, sometimes you deceive yourself and it hurts here."
Having said that, he got in the car and drove away.
Wherever Jiang Da's gaze went, Jiang Cha Cha was stunned for a long time.
That night, Jiang Cha Cha did not return to school.
On the way home helping Jiang Da push the cart, Jiang Da said that Gu Nanfeng looked like a nice guy.
She said in a low voice: "He is just a nuisance."
Jiang Da smiled: "Really? But I don't think you really hate him."
She didn't really hate him.
She didn't really hate him...
She went into her room and buried her face in the pillow out of habit.
“Ginger Cha Cha, sometimes you deceive yourself and it hurts here.”
But everything is gone.
The hand of fate was pushing them forward, and Tang Meini's eyes were always in front of her.
She couldn't hurt Tang Meini.
She doesn't allow herself to destroy other people's happiness.
Under the dim moonlight, Jiang Cha Cha sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the mobile phone that Gu Nanfeng had brought back on the bedside table, and her nose suddenly felt sore.
