Chapter 712: Chapter 712: Despite Being Old, Still Forced to Eat Dog Food
Yang Houliang never expected that, at his advanced age, he would still be force-fed a dose of public displays of affection.
He said with a wry smile, “This might be…”
“Mr. Yang,” Jiang Xu said, “I’m getting married next June.
I was thinking of giving my wife a special gift.
So I can provide the ten billion, but I have just two requests.
One is the name, and the other is that my fiancée and I can have a seat on the school board.”
Money wasn’t an issue for Jiang Xu, but he wouldn’t benefit if he didn’t gain something in return.
If they named the school after the two of them.
If the university eventually emerged victorious from the fierce competition, it would be a shining business card for Jiang Xu, An Nuonuo, and the Nuomi Group.
The status of being on the school board goes without saying.
“This…” Yang Houliang looked hesitant.
He could offer a position on the school board, but the name…
Jiang Xu saw his hesitation and said with a smile, “Mr. Yang, think about it differently.”
“This university is just starting out, and no matter your involvement, how far it can go is uncertain.”
“But if we use the name ‘Xu’an,’ I can help with publicity.”
“Do you understand how much online traffic my fiancée and I could bring—do you know what ‘traffic’ means?”
“I do,” Yang Houliang nodded. “Don’t think that just because I’m old, I don’t keep learning and trying new things.”
“Alright, ‘Xu’an University’ does sound pretty good.”
“It could even be interpreted to mean something else: ‘Xu,’ the sun, suggesting that the students are the morning sun, and ‘An,’ national peace and tranquility.”
However, Yang Houliang set forth another small condition.
That Jiang Xu would have to contribute more if the university later faced a funding shortfall.
That posed no problem for Jiang Xu.
He, too, wanted this university to succeed.
After all, even setting other things aside, just the prospect of hiring a portion of the highly talented graduates for his own company each year would tremendously boost the group’s development.
This was why many wealthy people often donated to prestigious universities and their alma maters.
Attracting talent was a key reason.
Yang Houliang and the others left feeling satisfied.
A little over an hour later, An Nuonuo and the girls came back.
Jiang Xu didn’t plan on telling her about this just yet.
He would wait until their wedding night to share the news, giving her a huge surprise.
…
“Bang, bang, bang…”
On New Year’s Eve.
The sky above Jiang City was alight with fireworks, and the deafening sounds of firecrackers echoed everywhere.
This year, the house was much livelier than in previous years.
Thanks to the presence of Jiang Huiyan, Chu Youwei, and Bai Xiaoya.
After dinner, Fu Yanjie and his family also came over.
“Come on, let’s team up for a gaming session,” Fu Yanjie shouted. “I’ve gotten really good at Yasuo; watch me show you up.”
An hour later, Fu Yanjie shut down his computer: “Let’s stop gaming; it’s bad for your eyes. Let’s play cards instead.”
Another hour went by, and Fu Yanjie slammed the table: “Cards are boring; let’s play mahjong.”
Yet another hour passed, and Fu Yanjie, holding Fu Hao and taking Zhang Yuanyuan’s hand, said, “Jiang Xu, you’re picking on me. I’m not playing anymore, boo hoo hoo.”
Jiang Xu: “…”
It’s not my fault you’re bad at the game; why blame me?
Jiang Huiyan was carried back to the room to rest.
Jiang Xu took An Nuonuo’s hand and went up to the rooftop.
They sat on the bench, watching the splendid fireworks outdoors.
The two of them were very quiet, neither speaking a word.
After a while, An Nuonuo softly said, “We’ll be juniors in the second half of the year, time flies so fast.”
Before they knew it, another year would pass and they would graduate.
Jiang Xu took her hand, “Doesn’t it feel romantic? How many people can go from school uniforms to wedding gowns?”
“Yes, it’s so romantic.” An Nuonuo’s eyes twinkled as she rested her head on Jiang Xu’s shoulder.
“Right.” Jiang Xu thought of something and asked, “Do you still have your high school uniform?”
“Uh-huh, it’s in the house in Jiang City. It’s a lovely memory, I’ll always keep it.”
“That what.” Jiang Xu said earnestly, “How about you go get it and put it on? I want to reminisce about the past.”
“Okay.” The naive An Nuonuo didn’t think twice and agreed immediately.
After all, if it was something Jiang Xu wanted, she would do it without hesitation, as long as it was within her power.
“Then I’ll go now.”
She then got up and went back to the room.
Jiang Xu rubbed his hands together, “Hehehe, Nuonuo is still a bit naive.”
He waited for a while before he couldn’t wait any longer and got up to go back to the room.
Inside the room, the lighting was soft.
The school beauty of Xu’an University stood in an almost whitewashed school uniform, her crisp presence before Jiang Xu.
Tall and slim, with smooth and natural lines, the tailoring of the school uniform perfectly outlined her slender waist and long legs.
And yet, she had such an innocent and attractive face.
With an elegant demeanor, every move she made exuded a unique charm.
Her skin was as smooth as the finest silk, fair with a tinge of rosy blush, like peach blossoms blooming in spring.
On that delicate face, her features were well-defined, her eyes like clear waters, shining brightly.
Wearing this school uniform, Jiang Xu felt as if he had returned to his senior year of high school.
Back then, An Nuonuo was clumsy and naive, exuding a sense of youthful awkwardness.
He was the only one who had discovered the peerless beauty hidden beneath her bangs.
Now, An Nuonuo in a school uniform compared to her high school days.
Just speaking from the aspect of aura, there wasn’t much of a change.
The only difference was that her figure had improved.
Especially the shock absorbers… a rarity in this world.
This was also one of the points that Jiang Xu liked most about An Nuonuo.
Jiang Xu casually locked the door behind him.
He walked over to An Nuonuo.
Wrapping his hands around her willowy waist.
Her scent was very nice, milky and sweet.
With an invigorating and refreshing effect.
An Nuonuo sensed something, and her cheeks flushed.
It was only then that she realized, blushing shyly, “So, you wanted me to wear the uniform for this… you bad boy~”
“Now that you’re reacting, it’s too late.” Jiang Xu grinned mischievously, “How about we do some role-playing tonight?”
An Nuonuo, “Ah?”
Jiang Xu, “I’ll play the teacher, you’ll be the student.
Later, you have to call me Teacher Jiang throughout~”
An Nuonuo’s face turned even redder, “I don’t want to~”
This felt really strange to her, a bit embarrassing.
Jiang Xu coaxed kindly, “We’re studying, don’t look at it with prejudice.”
“How about this, I’ll be the teacher this time, and next time, we’ll switch. I’ll be your student, okay?”
An Nuonuo still shook her head.
Suddenly, Jiang Xu smirked menacingly, “If you don’t agree, don’t blame ‘Teacher’ here for not letting you graduate.
You wouldn’t want that to happen, would you, Miss An Nuonuo?”
