Chapter 711: Chapter 711: A Gift That Needs Mosaic
Jiang Xu first opened the package addressed to himself.
It was a piece of Guanyin Jade.
The quality seemed quite good, probably quite pricey.
He then opened the package for An Nuonuo.
Just one look, and he quickly packed it away, taking it back to the bedroom.
Dinner was ready.
An Nuonuo brought out the last dish.
She called Jiang Xu over for dinner.
As she served him rice, she asked, “Brother Xu, what did Zhou give you?”
“Cough cough.” Jiang Xu blinked, “Go have a look yourself later, I’m embarrassed to say.”
Immediately, An Nuonuo had a bad feeling.
Zhou Qingyue wouldn’t have sent something bizarre, something that needed to be censored, would she?
She placed the rice in front of Jiang Xu and then quickly ran back to the bedroom.
The package was on the desk.
An Nuonuo nervously picked it up for a look.
It was a book.
Upon seeing the book, her face immediately flushed red.
The title was: “108 Ways to Increase Pregnancy Chances.”
Is this even broadcastable?
Zhou Qingyue had sent a message: Did you receive the gift? Do you like it?
An Nuonuo pursed her lips and typed in reply: I really like it, but don’t send such gifts again.
Zhou Qingyue: Hahahaha!
An Nuonuo quickly changed the subject, “Aren’t you going home for the New Year?”
Zhou Qingyue: What’s the point of going back? My parents only see me as a walking ATM, and I don’t have any other friends.
When you think about it, Zhou Qingyue was quite pitiful.
In China, the only people she could barely consider friends were Jiang Xu and a few others.
Yet, because of a variety of issues, their relationships could not really be described as harmonious.
She had many admirers, but most were only after her looks, assets, or fame.
After a few exchanges, they ended the chat.
After some thought, An Nuonuo also bought Zhou Qingyue a set of clothes and mailed them to her.
Reciprocation, I suppose.
Although the gift Zhou Qingyue sent was a bit devilish…
The next day.
A big group teamed up to head home.
Fu Yanjie’s family, An Nuonuo’s family, Jiang Xu’s family, about a dozen people.
Because there were quite a few people, they took a private jet back.
As soon as they got on the plane, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo fell asleep.
Last night, Jiang Xu had read the book Zhou Qingyue had sent and learned a lot of useful knowledge.
Adopting the mindset of experimenting to discover the truth, they tried out the content in the book.
And, believe it or not.
Jiang Xu suddenly found himself opening the doors to a whole new world.
This resulted in them not sleeping until four or five in the morning.
That’s what you get from broadening your horizons abroad.
After an hour and a half, they arrived back in Jiang City.
After some sleep, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo were much more refreshed.
After getting off the plane, An Nuonuo and Zhang Yuanyuan took a few kids out to play.
And almost as soon as Jiang Xu stepped inside his home, guests arrived.
A group of about a dozen people, led by a highly respected professor from Jiang City, Yang Houliang.
How prestigious was this old gentleman?
In the top twenty universities nationwide, six presidents were his students.
So, the fact that this old gentleman came to visit Jiang Xu personally without any prior notice was very surprising to him.
Seeing Yang Houliang, he felt quite honored and quickly invited him in.
Although the old gentleman didn’t have a business at home and lived quite modestly.
But the energy and connections were terrifying.
He belonged to that class of people who could create a massive cultural earthquake with just one stomp.
It’s no exaggeration to say.
If Jiang Xu were to post today’s scene online, his status would definitely elevate to the next level.
He would also gain new respect from the real scholars and literati.
“Mr. Jiang, truly an accomplished young man,” praised Yang Houliang.
Before coming here, he had already gone to great lengths to gather detailed information about Jiang Xu.
A nearly flawless personal resume.
Top scorer in the college entrance exam.
Rise from an impoverished background.
Charitable and devoted to his girlfriend, and more.
This had caused Yang Houliang to develop quite a good impression of Jiang Xu before even meeting him.
After meeting in person, he felt he truly lived up to his reputation.
“You flatter me too much,” Jiang Xu was genuinely surprised. “I’m just a businessman who reeks of money.”
“Very good.” Yang Houliang nodded, “Achieving great success without arrogance, indeed a pillar of the community and a blessing for Jiang City.”
Jiang Xu: “???”
Not the old gentleman, what exactly are you here for?
That praise was a bit much.
Though I have thick skin, this is still embarrassing.
Moreover, such a significant figure had come to see him just in time.
There had to be a reason for such lavish praise upon their first meeting.
Seeing that the timing was about right, Yang Houliang stopped his adulations.
He grew serious: “Mr. Jiang, I apologize for this abrupt visit, but there is something for which I need your help.”
“Please don’t call me Mr. Jiang, Xiao Xu is fine,” Jiang Xu said earnestly. “Please go ahead, I’ll help if I can.”
Which meant that if he couldn’t help, he definitely would not.
Yang Houliang seemed not to catch the underlying meaning of Jiang Xu’s words.
He continued, “What do you think Jiang City is still missing?”
“Hmm?” Jiang Xu frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, “Cultural heritage?”
Jiang City was rapidly developing in terms of infrastructure.
The only drawback was its thin historical and cultural background.
“Right,” Yang Houliang nodded. “Recently, the education sector hoped I would lead the establishment of a university in Jiang City.
I’ve prepared everything, and now we’re just lacking the funds.
We’re still short by about one billion. I wonder if Mr. Jiang would be willing.”
With Yang Houliang’s status, setting up a regular university would be a matter of minutes.
But from his tone, it seemed he intended to establish a top-tier university.
Such a task would not only have a low success rate but would also require considerable financial input.
Jiang City already had a university.
It was, however, a very ordinary community college.
Jiang Xu understood.
He actually wanted to create a city’s signature brand.
For example, when you mention Harbin University, everyone thinks of Harbin.
When Qinghua or Beida is mentioned, everyone knows it’s in the Capital City
One billion was not an excessive amount for the current Jiang Xu, but it was also not something to be given away casually.
He pondered for a moment then asked, “Mr. Yang, has the school’s name been decided yet?”
“Not yet,” Yang Houliang shook his head. “We’ve chosen a few names, but none seem appropriate.”
Jiang Xu smiled and said, “I actually have a good name, would you like to hear it?”
“Oh?” Yang Houliang was curious. “Let’s hear it.”
Jiang Xu: “Xu’an University.”
“???” Yang Houliang was baffled. “Does this name have a special meaning?”
Jiang Xu smiled and said, “Xu, from my name. An, my girlfriend’s surname.”
Yang Houliang: “…”
