Upon flipping open a notebook, Jiang Xu found a string of numbers on several pages.
Those numbers seemed familiar to him.
But for a moment, he couldn’t recall what they were.
Jiang Xu fixated on the string of numbers, studying it without ceasing, “A six-digit number…seems like…stock codes…”
Stock codes?!
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration hit Jiang Xu.
He finally remembered.
HuiGuang Tech!
It was the first domestic company to go public with its LED lighting business.
It went public in 2006.
When it first went public, the stock price was high, reaching over three yuan per share.
But later, due to major product issues being exposed, the stock price plummeted to only a few cents per share.
The company was on the brink of bankruptcy.
In mid-December of 2008, it launched a product with a much longer lifespan, a higher selling price, and greater power than its previous products.
Suddenly, it was favored by the market.
The stock price skyrocketed, reaching a high of ten yuan, multiplying by over ten times.
Jiang Xu knew about this company because he had helped Zhou Qingyue’s company when it was starting up.
Investors had to be rounded up, and HuiGuang Tech was on the list.
So, Jiang Xu had done a very detailed investigation of this company.
“This kiddo, he’s got something,” Jiang Xu thought with a glint in his eyes, “But not much.”
Cheng Xing had noticed this stock at this time, he was probably planning to invest in it.
Damn, absolutely no way!
Seeing an old enemy live well was even more painful than killing Jiang Xu.
With his mind racing, Jiang Xu immediately hatched an idea.
He sneered, “Lucky for me, Xiaoxing, you encountered someone as unethical and unprincipled like me, otherwise, you might actually stand a chance…”
After leaving the school, Jiang Xu went to a small printing shop nearby.
He printed all the photos taken in the school and made thousands of copies.
The girl’s face was edited out.
Jiang Xu’s only target was Cheng Xing, so there was no need to involve an innocent person.
But that’s not all.
Jiang Xu also found a place that made DVDs and had the video he took burned onto discs.
Similarly, the girl’s voice and appearance were edited out while Cheng Xing’s voice was amplified.
Jiang Xu watched the final product once and laughed again.
He could imagine what sort of situation Cheng Xing would be in once this video was released.
He’d probably be so embarrassed that he’d be able to build a villa just from the shame he’d be digging out with his toes.
His actions felt strangely familiar.
That’s right, he used a similar trick to deal with Qin Feng before.
Although it was a cliche, the effect was extremely potent.
Moreover, it was certain that Cheng Xing would be expelled.
The bright future that he had gone in an instant.
If he wanted to go to university, he would have to spend a year redoing his final year at another school.
Alternatively, his family could spend money for him to attend a low-grade university.
Given Cheng Xing’s character and abilities, he would definitely choose to redo his year.
In doing this, apart from getting revenge,
there was another crucial reason — maybe he could make Cheng Xing give up investing in HuiGuang at this time.
After all, at that time, Cheng Xing would be covered in feces and urine and wouldn’t have time for anything else.
Jiang Xu ordered the shop to make more than a hundred copies of the disc.
Looking at the time, it was almost twelve.
He would deal with this matter first.
He returned to the school again.
He brought drinks and cigarettes for the doorman, successfully sneaking in.
The doorman watched Jiang Xu’s retreating figure and couldn’t help but sigh, “If all students were as sensible as him, that’d be great.
If that were the case, I could save a lot on cigarette money and visit Widow Wang a few more times…”
Jiang Xu started his ‘building sweep’.
Every classroom, every desk, had several photos placed on them.
In terms of CDs, three were placed in each classroom.
Having spent half an hour, Jiang Xu placed items in all the school classrooms, even in front of every window in each teacher’s office.
If Cheng Xing didn’t drop out of the school after this, Jiang Xu would have admitted his defeat.
Jiang Xu was a good distance away from the school.
After making sure there were no cameras nearby, he took a look around.
He threw his sunglasses and mask into the garbage bin.
Then, he changed into a shirt he took out from his bag.
And thus, he melded into the vast sea of people.
After asking a passersby, he located a store that specialized in selling luxury watches.
He spent over one hundred thousand to buy a ladies’ watch.
After grabbing a quick bite, he took a taxi to the high-speed rail station.
By the time he had returned to Jiang City, it was already five-thirty in the afternoon.
As he was exiting the high-speed rail station, he saw a graceful figure standing at the entrance.
Despite wearing a mask, she was still so radiant.
Her long hair fell to her waist, each strand stirring his heart.
Upon seeing Jiang Xu, An Nuonuo quickly ran over.
“Are you tired? Are you hungry?” she asked.
She didn’t ask if he had finished handling his matters, only concerned about his wellbeing.
Jiang Xu smiled and ruffled her hair, “I’m fine, let’s go home first.”
“Alright, let me carry your bag,” she offered.
The young lady gracefully took Jiang Xu’s backpack.
Jiang Xu couldn’t help but feel touched, “Nuonuo, you truly are a blessing.”
“Huh?” An Nuonuo was confused.
Jiang Xu chuckled, “No worries, a high-class character like you should be with a low-class character like me.”
An Nuonuo blushed at that comment.
There was a charming sparkle in her eyes.
Once they got into the car, Jiang Xu took a deep breath, “The car smells so nice.”
The entire car was filled with a pleasant aroma.
This, only a top-notch beauty would have such an aromatic car.
They started the car.
An Nuonuo said, “I heard that starting next week, the school will no longer have days off, we have to keep attending until summer vacation.”
This was common in many schools.
All holidays get cancelled during the college entrance examination period.
Jiang Xu was nonchalant, “Then we’ll just have to attend.”
After all, he had already understood all the knowledge needed for high school.
He had finished reading about basic programming.
So, he wasn’t worried at all.
He could even find time to do some coding at school without any issues.
“By the way.” Jiang Xu remembered something, “Have you had any trouble sleeping these past few days?”
“Huh, why would I have insomnia?” She was puzzled.
Jiang Xu stated matter-of-factly, “Because I’ve been keeping you awake at night.”
An Nuonuo blushed but didn’t say anything.
Jiang Xu laughed heartily.
She was still as adorable as ever, unable to tolerate even a slightest tease.
Once they got home.
After parking the car, An Nuonuo opened the trunk and took out the fresh vegetables and meat.
Obviously, she must have gone to the vegetable market to buy groceries in advance before going to the high-speed rail station to wait for him.
“You rest for a bit, I’ll go cook,” she proposed.
With that, she sprinted off to the kitchen.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaoyan called him.
Jiang Xu immediately hung up.
Why was she after him at this point?
Soon after, Fu Yanjie also called him.
Jiang Xu decided to answer it.
As soon as he picked up, Fu Yanjie’s incredibly excited voice came from the other end, “Godfather, great news!”
