Volume 5: Twenty Undoubted Chapter 301 The Difference Between Liking and Loving
After having dinner with Duan Jiabao, Jiang Xiaoguo returned to Pulin Capital to continue working. She, Li Li, and Zhao Tingnan gathered together to discuss the division of labor for the Coral English business plan. Li Li closed the Coral English project information in his hand and said:
"Time is running out, we need to make a decision quickly, who will be the team leader and who will make the presentation?"
"I……"
Jiang Xiaoguo was about to introduce herself when Li Li interrupted her and said:
"I'd like to recommend myself. I worked on similar cases when I was an intern at a similar fund company before, so I'm very confident!"
"you……"
Jiang Xiaoguo was about to express her opinion when Zhao Tingnan beside her interrupted her and said:
“When I was working part-time at a consulting company, I worked as a consultant for the same type of application, and I think I can do it too!”
"she……"
Without waiting for Jiang Xiaoguo to finish her words, Li Li next to her looked directly at Zhao Tingnan and said pointedly:
"Our fund has a dedicated post-investment management department, and I have more experience in this area!"
After taking a look at Li Li, Zhao Tingnan directly retorted:
"But I participated in the entire application development process, and I am more professional in improving user stickiness and experience!"
"Okay, let me interject!"
After Zhao Tingnan finished speaking, seeing that Li Li was still about to open her mouth to refute, Jiang Xiaoguo immediately stood between the two of them and said:
"I know you two are both professionals. How about we draw lots and see whoever gets the first prize..."
"no!"
"no!"
Before Jiang Xiaoguo could finish her words, Zhao Tingnan and Li Li objected together. Jiang Xiaoguo could only swallow back what she was about to say. She glanced at Zhao Tingnan and Li Li, who were unwilling to compromise or give in, and advised helplessly:
"It doesn't matter who we choose. Our content is more important. We need to push the content forward first, and then..."
"What do you know?"
Seeing that Jiang Xiaoguo, an ordinary undergraduate, dared to teach him and Zhao Tingnan how to do things, Li Li said impatiently:
"If the direction is wrong, no matter how good the idea is, it will be useless. Do the bosses like innovation or conservatism? Do you know?"
"Of course I know!"
"What do you know?"
"How come I don't know?"
"You know what you said?"
"I……"
After taking a look at Li Li and Zhao Tingnan, Jiang Xiaoguo rolled his eyes and sighed deliberately:
"Mr. Zhou, I usually like American coffee and cheesecake!"
"How do you know that?"
Li Li frowned slightly and said with some doubt.
"Oh, I didn't want to say this, but now that things have come to this, I'll just be honest with you!"
Seeing that Li Li and Zhao Tingnan were looking at him eagerly, Jiang Xiaoguo leaned on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said with a proud look on his face:
"Mr. Zhou and I, actually we knew each other before the interview. After the first interview, we had an opportunity and talked a little bit, and then we got this chance. It's important to have a good major, but we are not in school now. What is more important in today's society? Network resources. Don't you think this is the truth?"
"so……"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo who suddenly transformed into a background figure, Zhao Tingnan said thoughtfully:
"What do you want to do?"
“Ahem~~”
After coughing twice and clearing his throat , Jiang Xiaoguo looked at Zhao Tingnan and Li Li and continued to talk nonsense:
"The current situation is this. Although both of you are good at your majors and are equally good, I know Mr. Zhou. I know what he likes and what he doesn't like. This is very important to our entire team, so I will be the team leader and you two will be responsible for the presentation. How do you think?"
"Okay, let's arrange it this way!"
Nodding slightly, Zhao Tingnan glanced at Jiang Xiaoguo and Li Li and compromised:
"Jiang Xiaoguo, you will be the team leader. Li Li will be responsible for the charts and graphs, and I will be responsible for the copywriting and final explanation. Li Li , do you think this arrangement is okay?"
"No problem, just arrange it this way, I have no objection!"
After looking at Jiang Xiaoguo and Zhao Tingnan, Li Li finally agreed.
Seeing that everyone had finally reached a consensus, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He could finally move forward with the work. Although he had used Mr. Zhou's name to bully others, the ultimate goal was still for the good of the entire team. Comforting himself in this way, Jiang Xiaoguo put the matter behind him and began to discuss work with Li Li and Zhao Tingnan. Amanda, who was sitting not far away, kept all of this in mind. Who knows when these gossips may be used to bring her the final victory.
As night fell and the lights came on, the whole city became brighter, with traffic and people bustling. Jiang Xiaoguo, who had worked at Pulin Capital all day, returned to the girls' dormitory with two fragrant roasted sweet potatoes. Duan Jiabao was eating snacks and watching TV series as usual, while Luo Yan was also sitting in front of her computer playing League of Legends. Looking at Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan who were carefree all day, Jiang Xiaoguo put down her shoulder bag, nibbled on the roasted sweet potato in her hand and said:
"I'm back!"
"Sh ...
Hearing Jiang Xiaoguo's loud voice, Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan said in unison:
"Keep your voice down!"
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Xiaoguo asked curiously while chewing the roasted sweet potato in his hand.
"Liang Shuang is sleeping. She has slept all day and hasn't even eaten!"
To explain, Luo Yan looked at the roasted sweet potato in Jiang Xiaoguo's hand and said greedily:
"I haven't had dinner either. Can you give me a bite of sweet potato?"
"Here, you and Dabao each have half!"
"Thank you, Xiaoguo!"
Sharing the other roasted sweet potato with the greedy Luo Yan and Duan Jiabao, Jiang Xiaoguo glanced at the bed that Liang Shuang had covered with an opaque curtain and said:
"It's really strange. She never sleeps in. What happened today? Is she feeling unwell?"
“Probably not!”
Duan Jiabao said as he ate a half-baked sweet potato:
"I saw her come down once in the afternoon. She looked normal. Her face was rosy and full of collagen. She also had long legs as white as jade. I was so envious!"
"Dabao is right. I don't know what brand of cosmetics she uses, but she looks even prettier and sexier than before, just like the vixen on TV. Her figure is simply enchanting and charming, full of femininity!"
As Luo Yan spoke, she imitated the vixen on TV, twisting her waist and hips and acting like a demon:
"Master Xiaoguo, this is my first day as a human being and I don't even know how to put on clothes. Can you help me?"
"Hey, are you disgusting?"
Jiang Xiaoguo rolled her eyes at Luo Yan, who was acting coquettishly, and quickly pushed her away, saying disdainfully:
"How can there be a vixen as ugly as you in the world? Do you want to scare someone to death?"
“Haha~~”
"What are you three lemons chattering about?"
Just as Jiang Xiaoguo and the other two were laughing, Liang Shuang suddenly sat up from the bed, opened the curtain, looked at the three of them, frowned slightly, and shouted:
"Who said I was a vixen? You are the vixens, stinky foxes!"
"Well……"
Seeing Liang Shuang's unstable mood, Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan quickly stopped talking and went about their business. Jiang Xiaoguo glanced at the half-eaten roasted sweet potato in her hand, and she tore off the other half that she had not eaten yet and handed it to Liang Shuang, saying:
"Baked sweet potatoes, do you want to eat them?"
"No thanks, I never eat this junk food!"
junk food?
Hearing Liang Shuang's comments on her daily food, Jiang Xiaoguo suddenly felt that the originally fragrant roasted sweet potatoes were no longer fragrant. Before she could continue to say anything, a WeChat notification sounded. It was Jiang Xiaoguo's phone. She took the phone out of her pocket and took a look. It turned out to be a WeChat message from Yuan Xudong, asking her if she had returned from get off work. If she had, he would send her a handbag later. Jiang Xiaoguo directly pressed the voice button and replied:
"I'm back. Please send it over. See you later!"
After the voice chat ended, Jiang Xiaoguo put away her phone. Liang Shuang, who was standing next to her, glanced at her and went to wash up. After Liang Shuang left, Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan surrounded Jiang Xiaoguo and gossiped:
"Is it Yuan Xudong?"
"I heard from Dabao that you two were like that?"
"What's wrong?"
Glancing at Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan, Jiang Xiaoguo pretended to be ignorant and continued to eat the roasted sweet potato in her hand. Although it was a little cold, it was still fragrant and delicious. Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo eating the roasted sweet potato as if she were eating some delicacies from the mountains and the sea, with a happy and sweet face, Luo Yan beside her couldn't help but teasing her:
"Jiang Xiaoguo, you have changed. You are no longer the pure and innocent Jiang Xiaoguo!"
Duan Jiabao on the side nodded and chimed in:
"Shitou is right, Jiang Xiaoguo, you have changed. Shitou and I are still the same pure and innocent girls as before, but you are no longer a pure girl!"
"Pah, what nonsense are you two talking about?"
Jiang Xiaoguo said with a red face.
…
Liang Shuang was washing herself in the mirror while listening to the playful noises of Jiang Xiaoguo and the other two. When she heard that Yuan Xudong and Jiang Xiaoguo had already had sex in the hotel, she couldn't help but frowned. She felt even more depressed. Could it be that all beautiful women have the fate of vixen? Either they are the mistresses, or they are on the way to being the mistresses?
After washing up and changing into some casual clothes, Liang Shuang prepared to go to the school cafeteria to buy something to eat. As soon as she walked out of the dormitory, Jiang Xiaoguo caught up with her and said:
"I want to go down too, let's go together!"
"good!"
Entering the elevator, Jiang Xiaoguo took the initiative to press the button for the first floor. After hesitating for a while, she looked at Liang Shuang beside her and said with concern:
"Liang Shuang, are you...are you okay?"
"What can I do?"
After taking a look at Jiang Xiaoguo and thinking about what Yuan Xudong had done, Liang Shuang said pointedly:
"You should pay more attention to yourself and stop worrying about irrelevant things. You don't need to worry about my business!"
Jiang Xiaoguo was speechless after being criticized by Liang Shuang again. She secretly cursed herself for meddling in other people's business. She originally wanted to ask about Liang Shuang's staying out all night and what Yuan Xudong said about seeing her drinking in the hotel, but it was not appropriate to ask now. Besides, Liang Shuang's attitude towards her was exactly the same as before, so she thought it was nothing serious.
The elevator reached the first floor, and Jiang Xiaoguo and Liang Shuang walked out one after another. After leaving the girls' dormitory, Yuan Xudong was waiting on the side of the road with a beige handbag in his hand. Jiang Xiaoguo hurried over, took his right hand and said with a smile:
"Come on, let's go to the playground. I can accompany you for an hour!"
"So busy?"
"Of course I have to finish a business plan!"
Jiang Xiaoguo held Yuan Xudong's arm and walked towards the school playground, saying with some pride:
"I'm the team leader, and two of my team members are students from Peking University. Isn't that awesome?"
"sharp!"
Passing by the door of the girls' dormitory, seeing Liang Shuang walking by him, Yuan Xudong put his arm around Jiang Xiaoguo's waist, looked at Liang Shuang with a cold expression, waved and said hello:
"Liang Shuang, what a coincidence!"
"Scumbag!"
He glanced at Yuan Xudong coldly, and his sight lingered on the petite Jiang Xiaoguo for two or three seconds. Although he wanted to tell Jiang Xiaoguo the truth, when he thought of his own shameful side, Liang Shuang could only pretend to be expressionless and leave. Out of sight, out of mind. After Liang Shuang left, Jiang Xiaoguo looked at Yuan Xudong and frowned slightly and said:
"Xiao Dongzi, why did she call you a scumbag?"
"How do I know why she called me a scumbag?"
Yuan Xudong hugged Jiang Xiaoguo and walked towards the playground, while changing the subject:
"Maybe it's because I'm too handsome and have the potential to be a scumbag, so she called me a scumbag in advance. Okay, let's not talk about her. We only have an hour, so let's talk about the two of us!"
"Well, what do you want to say?"
"Just talk about your childhood, good or bad, I want to know more about you, okay?"
"Will you also tell me about your childhood?"
"Of course, if you're interested!"
…
Yuan Xudong walked into the school playground while holding Jiang Xiaoguo in his arms. He pulled Jiang Xiaoguo up to the observation deck and looked at the huge campus and the dim lights of thousands of homes in the distance at night. He felt a sense of lofty ambition and ambition in his heart. If there was no opportunity, it would be fine. But if there was, he would climb up desperately. The higher he stood, the farther he could see, the more people he would step on, and the more power and resources he would have.
In this world, the most powerful force is the extent to which one can influence and control the fate of others. The deeper the influence and the wider the scope of impact, the stronger the power that person possesses. Standing on a high place and looking into the distance always makes people feel excited. There is an illusion that they are about to step on the entire city, or even the entire world. With such wild thoughts in his mind, Yuan Xudong pushed Jiang Xiaoguo against the railing of the observation deck and kissed her red lips.
Just like a peacock spreading its feathers, men show off their literary and military achievements by conquering the world, and thereby attract many opposite sexes to rush towards them like moths to a flame, especially the beautiful ones. Throughout history, there have been few capable men who are loyal to one person. On the contrary, the lower the social status of a man, the more likely he is to be "loyal to one person". There is no need to worry about them cheating, if mental cheating is not considered cheating.
After a long moment, Yuan Xudong put his arm around Jiang Xiaoguo's shoulders and sat on the top step of the observation deck. Jiang Xiaoguo leaned on his shoulder with a flushed face, looked up at him and whispered:
"Xiao Dongzi, have you had many girlfriends?"
"What's wrong? Why do you say that?"
"nothing!"
Shaking her head slightly, Jiang Xiaoguo hugged Yuan Xudong's arm and said coquettishly:
"Then promise me that you can only have me as your girlfriend from now on, okay?"
"That won't work!"
Without waiting for Jiang Xiaoguo to get angry, Yuan Xudong pinched her cheek and said with a smile:
"I promise you that you will be my only legitimate wife from now on. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
"First wife?"
Jiang Xiaoguo glared at Yuan Xudong and pinched the soft flesh on his waist, threateningly:
"Who is your concubine then?"
"What do you think of Liang Shuang? Isn't it a great sense of accomplishment to have her call you sister?"
"Go to hell!"
"Queen, spare my life!"
…
After playing around with Jiang Xiaoguo for a while, Yuan Xudong sent her back to the girls' dormitory. Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo, who was looking a little depressed with her head down and her mouth pouting, Yuan Xudong touched her head and comforted her:
"Okay, I was just kidding you, are you so stingy?"
"You are the stingy one. How can you joke like that?"
Jiang Xiaoguo rolled her eyes at Yuan Xudong and said suspiciously,
"You don't really like Liang Shuang, do you?"
"Of course it's true. Liang Shuang is so beautiful, tall, fair-skinned, and has two long legs. Which normal man doesn't like beautiful women?"
Seeing that Jiang Xiaoguo's eyes were getting smaller and smaller, but the murderous intent in them was getting stronger and stronger, Yuan Xudong immediately started to save himself. He changed his tone and said seriously:
"However, liking is liking, and loving is loving. I can still clearly distinguish between the two. I like thousands of beauties, like Liang Shuang, but there is only one person I truly love!"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo with a smile in her eyes, Yuan Xudong said silently in his heart, I like thousands of beauties, just like Liang Shuang, but there is only one person I truly love, and that is the next one.
"Forget it, I'll forgive you this time. I'm going back first, you should go back too, bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
After watching Jiang Xiaoguo disappear into the girls' dormitory, Yuan Xudong was about to leave when Liang Shuang came out from the corner of the girls' dormitory and said sarcastically:
"I like thousands of beauties, like Liang Shuang, but there is only one person I truly love. I can be very reasonable when reminding others, but when it comes to myself, I become a real fool!"
Knowing that the fool Liang Shuang was talking about was Jiang Xiaoguo, and that he was being mocked, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Xiao Shuang, why do you care so much? Are you jealous of Xiao Guo?"
"I'm jealous of Jiang Xiaoguo?"
Liang Shuang slightly widened his eyes and said disdainfully:
"I wouldn't even want a scumbag like you if you were given to me, and I'm still jealous of Jiang Xiaoguo. I think you're really ugly and wishful thinking!"
Looking at Liang Shuang, who was well behaved in the bedroom of the InterContinental Hotel but became arrogant when he returned to school, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"It's not convenient to talk here, let's go for a walk outside the school!"
"Who wants to go for a walk outside the school with you? If you go alone..."
Before Liang Shuang finished speaking, Yuan Xudong took out his phone and played a recording:
"Xiao Shuang, can you please yell again, for the last time!"
"Dear husband~~"
Listening to the charming and enchanting female voice in the recording, Liang Shuang's face changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Yuan Xudong, please delete it quickly, or I will call the police."
"What's the hurry?"
Looking at the angry Liang Shuang, Yuan Xudong put his phone back in his pocket and said:
"How about you accompany me for a walk outside the school, and I will delete this recording when we come back?"
"you……"
"Don't worry, we're just taking a walk, no need to go to the hotel, OK?"
