“Who are you?” Jiang Xu asked, puzzled, looking at the boy sitting next to him. Honest and clean-looking, but with squinty eyes.
He wore glasses and gave off the impression of an educated but no-good type. It was a well-known fact.
Those with squinty eyes were never simple folk.
“My name is Lu Chao; Lu Yi is my older brother.”
“Oh, so you’re from the Juhai Group”, Jiang Xu nodded, “And what’s your relationship with High C inside your head?”
Lu Chao:”???”
“Hahaha, just messing with you,” Jiang Xu shrugged, “What did you want to talk about?”
Lu Chao said in a matter-of-fact manner, “My brother has mentioned you a couple of times, he sees you as a formidable opponent.
He hopes to bring you down, but I think we could work together.”
Jiang Xu scrutinized Lu Chao earnestly, “How do you propose we collaborate?” “Chips and displays!” Lu Chao announced these words with grave seriousness. Jiang Xu couldn’t help but sit up straight.
This guy seemed to have some substance after all.
He nodded in agreement.
Lu Chao promptly pulled out his phone and added Jiang Xu’s contact info.
Then, smiling, he said to An Nuonuo, “We’re all classmates here, we should add each other too.”
“Get lost!” Jiang Xu rolled his eyes at him.
Turns out, after all this chatter, An Nuonuo was his target.
Lu Chao shrugged, unphased, and took his leave.
Watching his retreating figure, Jiang Xu felt there was something mysterious about this guy.
Not long after, the homeroom teacher arrived.
She was a woman in her early forties.
She was of decent shape and appearance.
Sort of a no-frills version of Zhang BaiZhi.
“Hello everyone, my name is Wu Yu, and I’ll be your homeroom teacher.
First, let’s give a warm round of applause to this year’s top national scholars,
Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo.”
Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo both rose and bowed to everyone.
Whether they were willing or not, everyone clapped for them at that moment.
The homeroom teacher continued, “Now, everyone, please introduce yourselves…”
Starting from the students in the first row.
One after the other, they took the stage to introduce themselves.
When it was An Nuonuo’s turn, the crowd erupted into thunderous applause.
“Hello, everyone, my name is An Nuonuo. I come from Jiang City, and my boyfriend is Jiang Xu. Thank you all.”
With that, she quickly lowered her head and scurried back to her seat.
She buried her face in the desk.
The homeroom teacher laughed.
Many of the girls in the class also laughed along.
The boys, however, weren’t laughing.
They were feeling rather uncomfortable.
Damn it.
Why did this dog, Jiang Xu, get to have such a fairy-like girlfriend?
Once everyone had finished their introductions, the homeroom teacher said,
“Next, we need to select our class monitors–a class president and vice-president. Anyone interested?”
With Magic University being a top-ranking school nationwide, holding a monitor’s position could give you an advantage when job hunting after graduation.
Therefore, many hands were raised.
Jiang Xu wasn’t interested in this.
He was too busy for such nonsense.
Right then, a girl stood up and pointed at An Nuonuo, “Teacher, I nominate An Nuonuo!”
Whoosh! All eyes involuntarily turned to An Nuonuo.
An Nuonuo didn’t expect to be nominated.
She quickly rose and waved her hands, “I can’t, I don’t have the ability.”
Although her social anxiety wasn’t as bad anymore.
Managing a class was beyond her capabilities.
Jiang Xu glanced at the girl.
During the introductions, he memorized the names of all his classmates.
Her name was Mu Zi.
Mu Zi smiled and said, “An, you shouldn’t be so modest, you’re a top national scholar.”
Others might dispute the choice of class monitor.
However, if you take up the role, everyone will definitely agree— don’t you think so?”
“Yeah, yeah, we do!”
“I vote for An to be class monitor.”
“I agree as well.”
Quite a few girls started chiming in.
An Nuonuo looked rather panicked.
She had never experienced something like this before.
Jiang Xu originally intended to intervene.
However, upon reconsidering.
He figured it might be a good opportunity for An Nuonuo to gain some experience.
No big issue could arise, as he was there to back her up, anyway.
Additionally…
Being the class monitor could come with additional benefits in certain situations…
Well, anyone would understand his intention.
He gave her a nudge and a reassuring look.
An Nuonuo, who was very flustered at first, quickly calmed down.
With Jiang Xu by her side, she felt as if she had gained infinite power.
Confidence seemed to well up within her instantly.
“Alright, I’m willing to run for the position of class monitor.”
If An Nuonuo was running for class monitor, no boy in the class would oppose her.
The male-female ratio in the class was 73.
Lastly, An Nuonuo overwhelmingly won the position of the class monitor.
Likewise, other office positions were filled in.
The instructor, in the end, announced that military training would start in three days and last for fifteen days.
The first thing An Nuonuo did after becoming the class monitor was to create a class group chat and add everyone to it.
Subsequently, many students began to request to be her friends.
In response, An Nuonuo didn’t accept their requests immediately. Instead, she sought Jiang Xu’s opinion.
If Jiang Xu didn’t approve, she wouldn’t accept them.
Jiang Xu chuckled and said, “Go ahead, accept them. They’re all our classmates.
We are going to be together for several years.”
He wasn’t that petty.
As soon as she was sure that Jiang Xu wouldn’t be vexed, An Nuonuo accepted their friend requests.
At noon, the two went to the second floor of the dining hall.
The food on the second floor was a bit pricier and had a greater variety of dishes, including private rooms.
For a private room, you had to pay an extra twenty yuan.
Lu Chao followed them there as well.
He expressed his intent to discuss something with Jiang Xu.
But soon after he sat down, he was filled with worry and kept glancing over at An Nuonuo.
“Class monitor, why did you accept the friend requests of others but not mine?”
An Nuonuo looked hesitant.
Jiang Xu patted her on the head reassuringly, “Don’t be afraid—say whatever you want.”
Then An Nuonuo looked at Lu Chao timidly and said, “I don’t think you’re a good person.”
Lu Chao:”???”
“Hahaha!” Jiang Xu burst out laughing.
Lu Chao’s face immediately darkened.
However, he didn’t know how to retaliate.
Facing a girl like An Nuonuo, he couldn’t even get mad.
In frustration, he chugged down several mouthfuls of cola.
Wisely, he changed the subject to avoid getting hurt again.
“Remember the chip and screen I mentioned in class? These two items will be central to future development.
If we get involved now, we could definitely become top tycoons in the future.”
Jiang Xu remained calm, “Why don’t you ask your brother for money?”
Unable to help himself, Lu Chao said, “My brother only thinks about getting things without working for them.
For him to continually invest tens of billions, even hundreds of billions, is impossible.”
You could see the difference in their personalities from this.
Jiang Xu: “Talking the talk is useless. You need to show something concrete.”
“Okay, take a look at this.”
From the bag he carried around, Lu Chao took out a stack of documents, placing them in front of Jiang Xu..
