“Jiang Xu, you’re such a dog. Really inhuman!” Fu Yanjie was furious.
This jerk caused a massive hurt on himself as soon as he came to school.
A real underdog.
After the first class ended, Jiang Xu unexpectedly received a call from Cai… oh,
no, from Xu Kun.
He was currently outside the school.
“Why this jerk is looking for me?”
With doubts in mind, Jiang Xu arrived at the school entrance.
He immediately spotted Xu Kun dressed in overalls and a middle parting hairstyle.
Jiang Xu paused for a moment.
In a flash, he saw a deja vu of the man from the past.
The man who, during the end-of-days era, broke a thousand seals with a single basketball, trampled countless universities beneath his feet, and created a legendary year…
“Boss!” Xu Kun waved to Jiang Xu as soon as he saw him.
Jiang Xu collected his thoughts, arrived at the entrance, and calmly asked,
“What do you want from me?”
For a jerk like him, Jiang wouldn’t show any good face.
“Heh heh, boss, don’t get mad. I didn’t betray you but intentionally infiltrated
the competitor’s company.”
“Huh?” Jiang Xu’s gaze became sharp.
Xu Kun looked around, then handed a hard drive to Jiang Xu.
“Inside, are all the illegal things that Tomato Company has done over the years.
Take it and have a look, boss. It’s enough to crush our competition.”
Jiang Xu was stunned.
This…the plot development seemed somewhat off.
Holding the hard drive in his hands, Jiang Xu examined the man dressed in overalls, “What’s your motive?”
Being adults, Jiang Xu would not believe that he would be given such a huge benefit for nothing.
“Boss, you truly have sharp eyes.” Xu Kun laughed, “So, let me be frank, here’s
the deal…”
After hearing it, Jiang Xu finally caught on.
This guy, after being poached by Tomato, leveraged his good looks and his
skills such as singing, dancing, and playing basketball.
In a very short time, he hooked up with a female exec at Tomato.
Then, with some pixelated skills, he managed to obtain some illegal evidence from the company from the said female exec.
Such as tax evasion, among others.
If these were to be handed over, they would definitely cause a fatal blow to them.
Getting these pieces of evidence, Xu Kun had someone negotiate with the head of Tomato, and demanded quite a lump sum of compensation.
This kid was so clever, he had the money transferred to an account he opened abroad.
This way, it couldn’t be traced domestically.
Then, he ostensibly handed the evidence over.
in reality, he had already duplicated them several times, including the copy in
Jiang Xu’s hands.
This operation of having the best of both worlds was quite slick.
If Xiao Cai had been even half this clever back then, he wouldn’t have gone under so quickly.
As for why Xu Kun gave this to Jiang Xu, he didn’t ask for money but made a request.
He hoped Jiang Xu would make contact with the head of Tomato and sell the Nuomi Website to them.
Of course, not a real sale, but just for show.
Jiang Xu’s thoughts raced.
He quickly understood the purpose of this.
Tomato went public last year and is currently worth about a billion.
It was worth 1.5 billion before.
But after Jiang Xu reported them, the entire site underwent a major renovation.
Many small stockholders and retail investors sold their shares as a result.
The market value shrank by as much as 500 million.
At present, the stock price of Tomato is at a low point.
At this time, if the news of the merger between Nuomi Website and Tomato were to be leaked.
Then, Tomato’s share price would surely go up.
This kid, quite an excellent play.
He plays on both sides.
Jiang Xu had no reason to refuse, nodded, and agreed, “No problem, I’ll confirm the contents of this hard drive when I get back.”
Xu Kun shyly smiled, “Thanks, boss. Can I still go back to work at the company?”
Jiang Xu shook his head, “Sorry, all positions are filled.
“Alright then, goodbye.”
Watching Xu Kun’s retreating figure, Jiang Xu appeared thoughtful.
When he was in his own company before, he didn’t realize this guy was so cunning.
Fortunately, he left.
Otherwise, who knows when he might turn treacherous.
He turned around to return to the classroom.
He had only taken a few steps when An Feng called him.
“What does this old guy want from me?”
Jiang Xu grumbled for a bit, then chose to answer, “Hello, Uncle.”
“Hey Jiang Xu, you’re at school, right? How’s everything going…
“I’m doing well, Uncle. You should also pay attention to your health.”
As soon as the call came through, the two of them started a battle of acting skills.
The world of adults can sometimes be so hypocritical.
After a string of meaningless chit chat, An Feng finally got to the main point, ”1 went to see your Aunt Li a few days ago.
She told me about some things between you and Nuonuo.
I hope you can treat her well and never do anything to wrong her.”
Jiang Xu: “Uncle, rest assured, I will definitely do that.”
“That’s good.” An Feng seemed somewhat relieved, “I’ve transferred 100,000 to your card.
It’s almost New Year now, and I have to go on a business trip.
This is just a little token of my appreciation, use it to buy some clothes for
Nuonuo, some food and clothing, you keep the rest.”
Jiang Xu sneered.
This excuse of going on a business trip was probably to spend some time with that woman.
On the surface, Jiang Xu responded normally, “Alright, thank you, Uncle.
I’ll accept the money, you can keep the feelings.”
An Feng:”???”
Jiang Xu laughed, “Just kidding, Uncle. How have you been with her recently?” An Feng: “Not bad. Only this one time I forgot to put on my glasses. I couldn’t see clearly, and she said my watch was in the way.”
Jiang Xu:”???”
There was a moment of silence before Jiang Xu realized what he meant.
Come on, really now?
They were playing it so wild?
The bell rang for class. Jiang Xu didn’t continue to chat, and hung up. Looking at the message, sure enough, 100,000 had transferred in.
This money would be used by Jiang Xu to buy some gold jewelry for An Nuonuo later.
At noon, after school, Jiang Xu and Fu Yanjie went to the cafeteria to get food together.
An Nuonuo was visited by Aunt Flo today so Jiang Xu told her not to move around too much. Zhang Yuanyuan was also in the classroom with her.
Jiang Xu slung his arm around Fu Yanjie’s neck, “Remember to focus more on your studies.”
Fu Yanjie chuckled, “I know, aside from accompanying her, I’m reading books and doing various test papers.”
“Ah,” Jiang Xu sighed, “you kid, have barely passed the test.
You show some promise, living up to that line of an age-old proverb.” “What?” Fu Yanjie looked completely clueless.
Jiang Xu: “First there’s a girl, then there’s a shell, and finally a little treasure.” Fu Yanjie:”???”
He looked completely confused.
Only after Jiang Xu whispered in his ear did Fu Yanjie finally understand.
He said gloomily, “After hanging out with you, I’ve realized that I’ve become much deeper.
Although the ink in the stomach seems to have started shifting colors….
