I have ten trillion licking dog gold

After eating and drinking his fill, Boss Jiang pulled out a tissue and wiped his mouth with impeccable manners.

The payment has already been made via QR code.

The food was definitely not finished.

Saying they were packing it up to take home was definitely just a joke; how could they let their wives know they were eating alone?

Waste is also unacceptable.

Mr. Jiang had a sudden inspiration.

Have it.

"Send these dishes to that table."

He pointed towards the table where his junior, Enel, was sitting, as the waiter was about to clear the table.

"what?"

The waiter was caught off guard.

"Is there a problem?"

"No, no problem."

Oops.

It can no longer be "recycled and reused".

One skewer of meat could normally be sold for two prices.

Since the guests had given their orders, the waiters had no choice but to comply and take away the remaining dishes.

"I'll go say hello."

A chance encounter is a coincidence.

The two encounters were somewhat connected by fate.

"A gift? From whom?"

The unexpected free dishes stunned Enel's table. Without the waiter needing to explain, Boss Jiang walked over with a warm smile.

"These dishes haven't been touched."

The three men and three women at the table all turned to look at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen noticed the beer bottles on their table and said to Enel, "Remember to go back to the dorm early."

I'll knock?!

Did something go wrong?
Did you consider the feelings of the three male students?
What was I like when I was chatting with my girlfriend just now?
Just because you got wet in the rain doesn't mean you have to take away someone else's umbrella.

Without any sense of shame, Boss Jiang even put on a charming demeanor, smiling and nodding to the few female and male students before walking out.

"This……"

A young man was about to speak, puzzled, when his voice froze before he could finish.

Beauty.

What an absolutely stunning beauty!
It turned out that Li Shurui had also passed by and gave Enel a friendly nod.

The lively chatter was suddenly "imprisoned," and apart from the sizzling sound of the barbecue, there was no other sound until Boss Jiang and his companion walked away, at which point the imprisonment was lifted.

"Ai Lu, who is that?"

The young man, whose words had been interrupted by Li Shurui, swallowed hard, changed the word "this" to "that," and continued to express his inner doubts, but his tone was noticeably lower than when he had blurted it out earlier.

It has nothing to do with which university.

The women around a man often indicate his social standing.

This is common sense that you should understand without even reading.

"Unfamiliar."

So her name is Ai Lu. It doesn't seem like a lie, just an extra character.

"Not familiar?"

Ai Lu's concise and straightforward answer aroused doubts among her friends. A girl with short hair immediately said, "Why would he give us food if we're not familiar with each other? And... he even told you to remember to go back to the dorm."

Upon hearing this, the boys exchanged awkward glances.

It's not that they have ulterior motives.

Today's meal was just a simple get-together, and everyone split the bill; they didn't have any other intentions.

But the problem is.

The person suddenly reminded Ai Lu to go back to her dorm, making it sound like they were...that kind of guys.

Correct.

It feels like mud getting stuck in your crotch!

"I do not know."

Ai Lu looked at him with an expression that said, "I also find it strange."

No one doubted her.

After all, in everyone's mind, Ai Lu is a talented woman with a wealth of knowledge and natural elegance.

This kind of girl is gentle, quiet, pure, soft, and unassuming... she wouldn't lie.

"Then you must know him, right?"

Another boy tentatively suggested that he was the tallest and most handsome of the three boys.

of course.

He still has a lot of "childishness" in him, even more so than Mr. Luo when he was studying at Dongda University.

Ok.

In some ways, this is not a disadvantage, but rather an advantage.

"Yes, I know him. He's a senior."

Ailu's answer was as straightforward and clear as ever.

"Senior? He's also from Tokyo University?"

That person has definitely graduated and is now a working professional; anyone can tell from that demeanor.

"Hmm."

Ai Lu answered every question directly and without any evasion, while also placing the free meat she received onto the baking tray.

"Great, this saves money."

"What year was he in? What department was he in? Was that pretty girl behind him his girlfriend?"

The first boy to speak couldn't contain his curiosity.

"Yes, that's so beautiful."

The only fat boy among the three couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Mr. Jiang's eyesight has been clouded. Their relationship is clearly just pure friendship, otherwise he certainly wouldn't openly praise other women.

"It's definitely beautiful."

Ai Lu laughed and said, "She used to be the most beautiful girl in our art school."

"what?"

"what?"

"what?"

"what?"

……

It's like a broken record.

The voices were spoken at different times, but the bytes were exactly the same.

"What do you mean? I'm telling the truth."

Ai Lu was indeed sincere and frank. Without her friends asking, she took the initiative to explain, "Senior Li Shurui? You don't all know her?"

"what?"

……

I'm repeating a grade again.

And their mouths opened even wider.

"I go!"

The chubby man suddenly jolted awake, his eyes wide with astonishment, as if he had remembered something earth-shattering, and he could barely speak.

"That guy is..."

"Senior Jiang?!"

Unable to wait any longer, the short-haired girl took over the conversation, calling out the name that the chubby girl hadn't had time to mention, her eyes wide as she suddenly realized!

"He's Jiang Chen?!"

It exploded.

Exclamations rose and fell from one another.

Ai Lu remained calm and composed, looking at her friends whose jaws were practically dropping to the floor, and said with a strange smile, "Doesn't she look different from the photo on the honor wall? I think they look quite alike."

"I rely on!"

"Ailu, really? Why didn't you say you knew Senior Jiang sooner!"

"If I had known... I should have asked him for his autograph!"

"I've had too much to drink. Did a billionaire CEO just feed me? And he even smiled at me?"

"No wonder the art college no longer has a beauty pageant. Once you've seen the ocean, you can't be satisfied with a river. Senior Li Shurui's temperament is simply top-notch."

Some people felt dizzy and lightheaded.

Some people beat their chests and stamped their feet in frustration.

Some people are reluctant to let go and reminisce.

Only Ai Lu, seemingly unaffected, sighed silently and continued enjoying her meal.

"Ailu, I'm going to stick close to you from now on. I never knew you were so talented!"

Faced with her roommate's flattery, Ai Lu calmly said, "I don't have any powerful connections for you to cling to."

"Wow, isn't Tianci Capital a powerful enough partner? Do you know how good their salaries and benefits are? If I could get an offer from Tianci Capital when I graduate, my life would be complete!"

"Ah~"

Ai Lu sighed again.

"Why are you always sighing? Tell me, are you just pretending to be something?!"

"If you want to join Tianci Capital, you'd better keep your distance from me."

"What?"

The others were also quite puzzled.

Faced with the inquiring gazes of her friends, Ai Lu's quiet and delicate face revealed a hint of helplessness.

"The background check will not pass."

"what???"

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"beep--"

The Panamera turned on its headlights.

Like a sleeping beast opening its eyes, the students on this side and across the street quickly withdrew their envious gazes.

"You really don't want to go?"

Once in the car, Li Shurui tilted her head and asked.

Mr. Jiang, who was also fastening his seatbelt, didn't react immediately. "Where are we going?"

"The music room at the art academy".

Comrade Jiang Chen put his hand on the steering wheel. "Want to dance?"

dancing.

The once outstanding actress and campus belle is certainly a professional, but the question is, is the "dance" that someone calls "serious"?

The answer is most likely no.

"Let's go."

Li Shurui did not compromise blindly, but looked ahead.

Pamei starts.

The crowd was thinner than before we ate barbecue, but we still had to be careful. Mr. Jiang drove very slowly, without any rush or panic.

"I……"

"I……"

Almost at the same time.

in unison.

"You speak first."

Someone displayed gentlemanly manners.

"I plan to go to Jiangcheng."

Li Shurui spoke.

So it wasn't a change of heart, but rather an agreement to dance.

"Jiangcheng? What are you doing there?"

Mr. Jiang didn't presume to be sentimental or disappointed; his face only showed confusion.

"The Licheng baby girl case has generated so much public attention, we can't just leave all the pressure on Sister Fang Qing, so I'll go and help share the burden."

Jiang Chen suddenly realized that the reason sounded reasonable, but he still felt that something was not quite right.

"When did you become so polite?"

"Shouldn't we be polite? After all, we're real sisters."

"cough."

Mr. Jiang immediately fell silent.

"OK?"

Li Shurui continued to ask.

Being respected in this way greatly satisfies one's vanity, and the key is how to refuse.
There's simply no reason to give.

"Go if you want, what's the big deal?"

Mr. Jiang pretended to be magnanimous, and his behavior further confirmed that he had no idea that he had become a father.

Japan doesn't count.

Also.

Not everyone has the sensitivity that Li Shurui possesses.

Moreover, from his perspective.

So many female confidantes... cough.

He didn't win a single bid, so how could he have imagined that revisiting "The Haunted Village" with Qingmei would lead to marriage?
No one would have given a warning.

"Ah."

Li Shurui said, "Then I'll set off in the next couple of days."

If someone were to chime in with, "Me too," things would get really interesting. Imagine the three of them meeting up in Jiangcheng—it's too much to bear! Luckily, that person is incredibly lucky.

He's busy.

"What were you going to say just now?"

"...I have to go abroad."

Ok.

Mr. Jiang has other important business to attend to.

"Where?"

"Eastern Japan".

Li Shurui certainly doesn't know the pressure her boyfriend is under. Who doesn't have pressure on their shoulders?

As long as it doesn't involve going to Jiangcheng with her, that would be the ideal situation.

"How long will it take?"

Mr. Jiang sighed, feigning melancholy, "As soon as possible."

I was just being delusional.

Little did he know, his girlfriend was probably thinking that the longer he "disappeared," the better.

"Then I'm afraid I can't send you there."

Li Shurui smiled.

Jiang Chen laughed too, "You go about your business..."

As he spoke, he suddenly paused, as if he had something difficult to say.

"what happened?"

Li Shurui asked, "Is there something you want me to tell Fang Qing? Tell me, I'll remember it and deliver it unopened."

Jiang Chen smiled wryly, finally driving out of the crowded food street. He gripped the steering wheel and increased the speed to normal. "...When you see Fang Qing, talk to her nicely. She's a bit shy."

"You mean I have thick skin?"

"Look at you. You're so petty."

Boss Jiang is indeed a role model for us all. His frank face was faintly visible through the windshield. "She doesn't know you know yet, so you... don't be too direct."

It's one thing to be a womanizer.

He even had his girlfriend handle the aftermath.

Just ask.

Who else? !

"You didn't tell her?"

"Didn't I tell you? She's a bit shy. If I tell her directly, she probably won't be able to accept it."

Why should I have to accept it?

A hint of justified grievance finally crept into Li Shurui's voice.

Since the atmosphere had reached this point, they decided to address some of the more solvable issues. Without resorting to any magic tricks, the man glanced at his girlfriend and stated matter-of-factly, "Don't you bear any responsibility at all?"

"Me? Responsibility?"

"You were the one who strongly advocated bringing her into Tianci, not me, right?"

Li Shurui was speechless for a moment.

"Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean to blame you. Things have come to this, there's no need for mutual recrimination..."

The person got more and more excited as they talked.

Normally, it would be fine to just tolerate it and let it pass, but this time Li Shurui wasn't going to try to be understanding.

"Shut up, you."

Interrupted without any mercy, Boss Jiang, who knew his place, shut his mouth in slight embarrassment.

Li Shurui slowly closed her eyes, raised her hand, and rubbed her brow.

He may seem carefree, but he actually understands his girlfriend's feelings perfectly, or rather, he thinks he does.

The strong are respected.

That's right.

This is the truth.

It is only natural that the strong can rightfully occupy more resources.

But are women truly willing to do this?
In ancient times.

can.

After all, women's consciousness had not yet awakened at that time.

But now we live in a modern society where everyone can read and write.

If it's just about mutual benefit, that's fine, but why would someone be willing to share their true feelings with others?
"You know Fang Qing's personality. She won't make any demands."

Jiang Chen drove the car and said softly.

Li Shurui opened her eyes, lowered her hand, and smiled faintly, "I know, that's why I respect Sister Fang Qing so much, I even admire her. If I have any health problems, I will step down and give way to someone more capable."

"Are you serious?"

Jiang Chen turned his head in surprise.

"if not."

"I thought you were joking."

Li Shurui rolled her eyes at him, "Only you would make a joke like this."

Li Shurui gazed ahead as cars streamed by, their taillights forming a long, winding red dragon, breathing in the pulse of this sleepless city.

Her eyes were unfocused, but a smile played on her lips. "Of course, it's only Sister Fang Qing. I wouldn't do it with anyone else."

"Where is Shi Xixi?"

This is an attempt to reveal one's hand.

However, it must be admitted that they are really good at seizing opportunities.

Li Shurui shook her head. "She can't win."

Can't win?
Say what?

What do you mean?
Although it seemed like they were talking past each other, Jiang Chen didn't press the matter further.

Streetlights, like stars, meander into the distance, outlining the contours of the city at night.

Neon lights flowed, and red, yellow, blue, and green light spots danced on the windshield like a silent fireworks display.

The gradually rising fog became the best filter, and the windshield wipers turned on automatically.

"I don't blame you, and you won't blame me, right?"

Jiang Chen tilted his head.

Li Shurui seemed to be talking to herself, watching the swaying windshield wipers.

Jiang Chen did something against his principles: he drove with his left hand, took his right hand off the steering wheel, reached into the passenger seat, and touched his girlfriend's smooth hair.

"Relax." (End of Chapter)
