"Auntie, please stay. Please help Nansun with the renter this afternoon, help Nansun take care of the house, and bring a few changes of clothes from home. Nansun and I have gone to work. See you in the evening!"
"Okay, you and Nansun should be careful on the road, and take more care of Nansun at the hotel. See you tonight!"
"Mom, I went to work. I slept so late last night. Please rest a little longer!"
"I understand, go ahead and do your work. You must listen to Xiao Yuan in the hotel and don't act like a child. Do you understand?"
"I know, I know, go back quickly, I'm going to be late for work!"
Saying goodbye to Mother Jiang, Yuan Xudong took Jiang Nansun to the underground parking lot. While helping her open the passenger door of the BMW 7 Series, he apologized:
"Nansun, I'm sorry, I was a little impulsive this morning. I hope you can forgive me. If you give me another chance, I will definitely not treat you so rudely!"
After that, when Jiang Nansun rolled his eyes at him and said nothing, he just quietly got into the BMW. Yuan Xudong quickly ran to the other side, opened the door, got into the driving position, and drove out of the underground parking lot, looking towards
Jiang Nansun from the passenger seat said:
"Don't worry, this is a legal society. I won't do anything to you. Unless you are willing, I won't touch a finger on you!"
Hearing what Yuan Xudong said, Jiang Nansun still looked out the car window expressionlessly. The BMW left the underground parking lot and started to drive into the main road. The high-rise buildings on both sides kept retreating. The bustling city center was still prosperous.
Her state of mind had undergone earth-shaking changes.
In just one night, Princess Jiang went from having no worries about food and clothing to an ordinary Cinderella. She even had to think of a way out for the Jiang family, which was heavily in debt after bankruptcy. Her life trajectory could no longer be said to be a change, it was simply an accident!
Thinking of this, she took out a CCB supplementary card from her bag and handed it to Yuan Xudong, with an indifferent expression:
"This is your bank card. I don't need it. Please take it back, thank you!"
After taking a look at the CCB supplementary card that Jiang Nansun handed back to him, Yuan Xudong did not reach out to take it. He just drove towards Songjiang Boutique Hotel and persuaded in a gentle voice:
"Nansun, having no money and having money are two different things. In other words, without the protection of the king, the princess is no longer a superior princess, but a coveted prey. The reason why the knight protects the princess is
Because of the princess’s beauty and identity, otherwise, why wouldn’t he protect Cinderella?”
After listening to Yuan Xudong's fallacies and knowing that he was mocking his boyfriend Zhang Anren, Jiang Nansun said with disdain:
"In this world, there is no other person who loves me as much as Zhang Anren. In my eyes, he is an upright and brave knight. No matter I am a high-altitude princess or a Cinderella who falls into the dust, he will love me as before.
He has always protected me and taken care of me, unlike some despicable and despicable people who call themselves kings and only know how to covet Cinderella’s body and add insult to injury!”
"Integrity and courage?"
Hearing Jiang Nansun's evaluation of Zhang Anren, Yuan Xudong burst into laughter. He didn't know whether it was Jiang Nansun who was too stupid, or Zhang Anren who was too good at disguising himself, or both. He didn't know whether Zhang Anren loved Jiang Nansun, but he wanted to say
Zhang Anren is an upright and brave man, so it would be too high to think highly of him.
In Yuan Xudong's view, Zhang Anren is just an ordinary person. He can report his competitor Wang Yongzheng for his qualification to stay in school, abandon his first love for Jiang Nansun, and lie to Jiang Nansun that it is also his first time in love. This is not something that an upright person can do.
For things like this, we can only say that he is a smart man who makes plans for a better life and takes every step forward.
Unfortunately, Jiang Nansun is too emotional and an idealist, while Zhang Anren is too rational and a realist. In ordinary trivial matters, in order to please Jiang Nansun, Zhang Anren's realism can bow to Jiang Nansun's idealism.
, appearing to be obedient to Jiang Nansun in everything and caring.
However, once it comes to his own vital interests, such as his house or his qualifications to stay in school, Zhang Anren's realism that he has insisted on for many years will never give in to Jiang Nansun's idealism. The contradiction between the two will be exposed in a way that cannot be concealed, and they will eventually part ways.
We go our separate ways, you walk on your single-plank bridge, and I cross mine on Yangguan Road, and it ends in a split!
Thinking of this, he looked at General Jiang Nan and Sun Ji and said:
"We made a bet before on whether Zhang Anren was your first love. The winner has not yet been determined. Now we make another bet on whether Zhang Anren is an upright and brave person. What do you think?"
After that, without waiting for Jiang Nansun to respond, he explained directly:
"If Zhang Anren is an upright and kind person, I will lend you 50 million yuan with an annual interest rate of 10%. On the contrary, if Zhang Anren is not an upright and kind person, you will break up with him. Do you dare to bet once?"
?”
Holding the CCB supplementary card in her hand, Jiang Nansun looked hesitant. She really needed the money. She also thought that Zhang Anren's behavior has always been praised by people. He is indeed an upright and brave person. Thinking of this, she secretly made up her mind.
, looked at Yuan Xudong and said:
"I bet you that Zhang Anren is an upright and brave man. Thank you for lending me 50 million yuan. Don't worry, I will definitely pay it back to you!"
Seeing Jiang Nansun's full confidence in Zhang Anren, Yuan Xudong couldn't help but strike:
"That's not necessarily true. If you lose the bet, there's no point crying to me. I'll leave the bank card with you. You can make the final decision when the matter is settled.
As for the debt problem of the Jiang family, I have talked with your father, and he will mortgage your garden house to the bank, which can be maintained for a while without a financial crisis."
After that, he looked at Jiang Nansun to get vaccinated in advance and said:
"I don't know about the oath of love between Zhang Anren and you. From my personal point of view, let alone a girlfriend, even if it is a wife who is married and has children, there are not many men in the world who can commit to a woman for the rest of his life.
debt.
If the money that your Jiang family has lost is placed on you and Zhang Anren, it’s not that I look down on you and Zhang Anren. From a practical point of view, he is a university teaching assistant, and he is not necessarily the kind to stay in school. You are a spoiled person.
Madam, how much money can two people earn every month if they work hard together?
Don't talk about paying off the debt, you can't afford the monthly interest. I bet that if you confess to Zhang Anren directly, the guardian knight will either run away and abandon you.
Or he said that he had no choice but to ask you not to care about the life and death of his family, let them fend for themselves, and then live happily with you. He also said that he was doing this for you and for the future of the two of you.
Not very touched?"
Although he understood what Yuan Xudong wanted to express, Jiang Nansun couldn't help but mocked:
"Before talking about others, think about yourself, can you do this?"
Yuan Xudong shrugged his shoulders and said in a relaxed tone:
"Of course not. It's a pity that I have money. For Zhang Anren, 50 million is indeed an astronomical figure. It is difficult to earn in a lifetime. For me, it is just a house. Ordinary people have to borrow dozens of dollars to marry a wife.
For someone who buys a house or a car every year, the 50 million I get is completely worthless. According to yesterday’s circuit breaker stock market crash, in just half an hour, I made at least 1 billion, and I spent 20% of it.
Once I get you, do you still think it’s expensive?”
Looking at Yuan Xudong who was nakedly showing off his wealth, Jiang Nansun said with disdain:
"What's the difference between what you do and those licking dogs?"
When he heard the word "dog licking", Yuan Xudong frowned slightly. The animal he hated most in his life was dogs, such as licking dogs, single dogs, and other dog things. Thinking of this, he looked at Jiang Nansun and said with a smile:
"What's wrong with licking dogs? If you can't eat the grapes, you'll say sour grapes. If you can lick them, a young and beautiful girl like you can open a dog pet center at home!"
Rolling his eyes at Yuan Xudong, Jiang Nansun put the CCB supplementary card in his hand back into his bag. Jiang Nansun believed that he had won the bet. He sold his family's house and added Yuan Xudong's 50 million, which was enough to pay off the debt.
As for the money she owes Yuan Xudong, she believes that she and Zhang Anren will succeed one day, and 50 million is not a debt that she cannot afford to pay off in her lifetime.
Without saying a word, the two of them went straight to Songjiang Boutique Hotel.
At the same time, in the assistant teaching office of the Shanghai School of Architecture.
Lillian walked into the teaching assistant's office holding Wang Yongzheng's hotel brochure and Zhang Anren's school anniversary design exhibition. Knowing that she was Professor Dong's daughter, Zhang Anren quickly greeted her politely:
"Lillian, what are you holding? Do you need my help?"
"No!"
Lilian shook her head slightly, looked at Zhang Anren and explained:
"I'll help Wang Yongzheng get some things and leave. These are your school anniversary design exhibition and Wang Yongzheng's Songjiang Boutique Hotel brochure. My dad and the leaders in the department need to take a look!"
After hearing Lilian's explanation and knowing that Professor Dong and the department leaders would decide the final quota for staying in school based on his and Wang Yongzheng's works, Zhang Anren's expression changed slightly, he looked at the innocent Lilian and tried:
"Lillian, can I take a look?"
"sure!"
After hearing Zhang Anren's request, Lilian directly handed a copy of Wang Yongzheng's work to Zhang Anren and said:
"I'll leave this one to you. You can take it home and take a look at it. I have a few more copies here, which are enough for my father and the others."
"Thank you, Lillian!"
Zhang Anren took the Songjiang Boutique Hotel brochure from Wang Yongzheng and browsed through a few pages. They were all very beautiful renderings. He looked at Lilian and asked:
"Lillian, tell the truth, whose work do you like more, mine or Wang Yongzheng's?"
"You want to ask who can stay in school?"
Looking at Zhang Anren who looked slightly embarrassed, Lilian smiled and said:
"How should I put it? Your works are stable, and Wang Yongzheng's works are good-looking. They all have their own merits. To be honest, I prefer Wang Yongzheng's works."
Hearing Lilian say this, Zhang Anren's expression changed slightly and he said:
"Lillian, can you tell me why? Is there something I haven't done well enough?"
"It's not what you think!"
Looking at Zhang Anren with a serious expression, Lilian shook her head and said:
"You have done a good enough job. I am a girl and I like pretty and cute things. Wang Yongzheng is so handsome. I like him, so naturally I will like his works!"
After that, she was worried that Zhang Anren would misunderstand, so she quickly explained:
"I'm not saying you're not handsome, it's just that you're too boring and not my type. Don't get me wrong!"
"It's okay, I understand!"
Zhang Anren shook his head slightly, while browsing the Songjiang Hotel brochure in his hand, he made an insidious comment to Lilian:
"Lillian, Nansun is also in this project. She is your good friend. Can you talk to Professor Dong and add Nansun's name to it? In this case, after Nansun graduates, her resume will be included.
It will add a rich and colorful touch!”
Rolling her eyes at Zhang Anren, Lilian reminded her directly:
"Wang Yongzheng has already considered what you said. Just turn to the last page. There is Jiang Nansun's name and the specific projects she is responsible for. Okay, just take your time and read. I'm leaving. See you next time!"
"see you later!"
Seeing Lillian taking a document from Wang Yongzheng's desk and walking out of the teaching assistant's office, Zhang Anren turned the hotel brochure in his hand to the last page, and sure enough he saw Jiang Nansun's name.
Thinking of Lilian's words, girls all like beautiful and cute things, including sunny and handsome guys like Wang Yongzheng, Zhang Anren's face darkened, why didn't he hope that he could be as free and carefree as Wang Yongzheng.
It's a pity that if you want a good life, you can only take it one step at a time. The one who laughs at the end is the real winner. Thinking of this, he returned to his usual smile and a humble and polite face.
