Chapter 21 - Paying back the money
Jiang Hao silently put down his phone after posting the last pop-up.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he suddenly realized that the pleasure of having money was indeed something his past self would never have thought of.
That's right, he was listening to the wind.
For the first time, Jiang Hao found out that spending money could be so enjoyable.
"Holy sh*t! Bull sh*t, what a f*cking relief!" Zhang Jie suddenly sprang up and said in general ecstasy, "Lao Jiang, Lao Jiang, come and see, it's so f*cking powerful, who the hell is this Hearing Wind? Look how angry he's made that Wang Jiani!"
"Haha, this is what happens when you offend us!" Ji Xueming also laughed, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Hey? Who do you think this Hearing Wind is? Brother Hao, who do you think it is? Is there such a rich person in Chu University? He swiped over 100,000 in one go, without even blinking an eye!"
Jiang Hao laughed and put on his headphones while saying, "Do you believe me when I say it's me?"
After Jiang Hao finished speaking, he smiled meaningfully and then clicked into that Yu Ning's live stream, along with the pleasant guitar rhythm, Jiang Hao suddenly found that this Yu Ning's singing voice was so clear and pleasant, and the person was delicate and lovely even though she was veiled.
There is always a moment in life when perhaps just a side face of someone can easily pierce through all your protection and magnetically suck in all your gaze.
The moment he gazed at this girl in his phone, Jiang Hao actually had a heartfelt feeling of being moved.
"Haha, you brat just blow, blow as hard as you can! But today it's right up your alley, because buddy is happy haha"
Early the next morning, almost the entire Chu Jiang University was abuzz with the events of yesterday.
Whenever they met a person, the other person was either talking about the live broadcast or discussing who that Hearing Wind actually was.
Jiang Hao didn't take it too seriously, it was only a hundred thousand dollars, the interest on his own two billion in the bank for a week was not even that much.
Jiang Hao first went to the school canteen to have some food, and then sent a message telling Su Junting that he was waiting for her outside the school building.
The money had to be paid back, this was Jiang Hao's principle.
Not much later, Su Junting came out, and she waved at Jiang Hao from afar, "What's up Jiang Hao?"
"I'm here to give you money." Jiang Hao said, and handed Su Junting the five thousand yuan he had prepared earlier.
Su Junting hurriedly shook her head and pushed it away, "Jiang Hao what are you doing? I've already said I won't take it, didn't we agree before? Besides, you are not in a good position, how good is it for you to keep this money for yourself?"
Su Junting was also thinking about Jiang Hao, she thought to herself, "Jiang Hao doesn't know where he borrowed these thousands of dollars from, if she takes this money, God knows how Jiang Hao will fill the hole.
As the two of them were tearing each other apart, Zhou Yuanyuan hurriedly came out of the school building. She wanted to call out to Su Junting, but when she looked at her, she was shocked to find that Jiang Hao was also there.
Zhou Yuan Yuan's face immediately sank.
Especially when she saw the few thousand dollars the two of them were tearing up, Zhou Yuanyuan was even more contemptuous of Jiang Hao.
"Oh, if people have no backbone, they can really do anything!" Zhou Yuan Yuan said sarcastically, "First you set up Ting Ting to spend thousands on shoes for you, then you licked your face to go to someone's clinic to treat your injuries, and now you've even started to borrow money from Jun Ting! How disgusting!"
As soon as Zhou Yuanyuan saw the two people tearing up money, without even thinking about it, she thought for sure that this was Jiang Hao borrowing money from Su Junting.
After all, in her opinion, how could two such people get several thousand dollars, the money must be Su Junting's.
The two immediately withdrew their hands and Su Junting looked at Zhou Yuanyuan with an impatient face and explained, "Yuanyuan, this is Jiang Hao trying to pay me back and I didn't ask for it, that's why I argued with him, you don't know the situation, please don't talk nonsense, okay?"
Zhou Yuanyuan grunted and gave Su Junting an angry look, saying, "Su Junting, you've come this far and you're still speaking for this poor bastard? He returned your money? Let me ask you, when he says he has money, do you believe him? What do you think, I've seen it all, and you're still speaking for him?"
"I," Su Junting was speechless with anger, she really didn't expect that Zhou Yuanyuan's brain could be so clear-headed to this extent.
"Hmph, I what me?" Zhou Yuanyuan looked at Jiang Hao with a contemptuous face again and said with a leathery smile, "Didn't certain people say yesterday that they would go and deliver the money in half an hour? Oh, in the end, there was no one there, such people's bullsh*t, whoever believes it is a fool!"
Looking at Zhou Yuanyuan's bratty look, Jiang Hao was simply speechless, such people were indeed quite annoying.
Jiang Hao sighed and said, "Zhou Yuanyuan, I don't have any enmity or grudge against you, so I don't want to make an enemy of you, so please have some self-respect too, I hope you'd better show me some respect, otherwise you'll really suffer a big loss."
Jiang Hao was already warning Zhou Yuanyuan, if he hadn't been reluctant to take things too far, if it wasn't for the fact that she was his good brother's cousin, Jiang Hao would have let her go, only she was still oblivious.
Jiang Hao added: "Besides, I was delayed yesterday because of an emergency, and when I went back to the clinic later, it was already closed."
Jiang Hao suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked, "Junting, Zhang Jie told me that you left in a hurry, did something happen besides?"
As soon as Su Junting heard Jiang Hao's question, she first froze, then her face turned red and she said in a loud voice, "No, no, no, it's fine, I'm fine, I'm just going home for dinner, it's really fine"
Words do not mean what they say, Jiang Hao could tell at a glance that Su Junting had lied, she was unnatural when she spoke just now, her face was scarlet, she must be hiding something.
"Junting, if something is wrong, you must say so." Jiang Hao said with concern, "Since we are friends, if you have any difficulties, I will definitely help."
Su Junting shook her head again and said it was fine, but Jiang Hao's words made her feel warm inside.
"And, just you still want to help? That's ridiculous, who do you think you are? It's good that you don't add to the mess, you don't measure yourself!"
Zhou Yuanyuan gave Jiang Hao a blank look, then slapped her head and suddenly laughed in triumph.
"Oh yes Jun Ting ah, let me show you something good!" As she spoke, Zhou Yuan Yuan pulled out a copper-green card from her satchel and smiled triumphantly, "This is the invitation to the reception at the Howlite Hotel tomorrow, I had my dad ask someone to get it!"
Zhou Yuanyuan was so proud of the invitation that she could not wait for everyone in Chujiang University to know that she had one of these.
After Su Junting saw the invitation, she was also a little surprised, and then it went dark again.
"What's the point of showing me this?" Su Junting said indifferently.
"Hey, I told you yesterday that I could get this thing, didn't you not believe me? Oh, didn't you just want to hang out with this poor boy? Then it can't be helped, I can't take you there!"
Su Junting bit her vermilion lips lightly at her words, with a bit of reluctance on her face.
After all, she was also a young girl, and what girl wouldn't want to go to such an occasion to see the world.
Yesterday she was just angry that she didn't want to, but she didn't want Zhou Yuanyuan to get an invitation for her, knowing that with Zhou Yuanyuan's father's status, it wasn't difficult to get an ordinary invitation.
Su Junting didn't say anything, but she was very unhappy in her heart.
But all of this was seen by Jiang Hao, who looked at Zhou Yuanyuan's just like that godlike appearance, and simply felt ridiculous.
Jiang Hao couldn't believe how these people could be so rushing to that rally.
Only what these people didn't know was that the one reception they were desperately trying to get into, and even bragging about when they saw people, was actually just a few of their father's men, preparing it for themselves.
Jiang Hao thought about this and even felt quite amused in his heart, if these people knew about this when the time came, how big a shock it would be to them, huh?
Jiang Hao laughed and looked at Su Junting's reluctant face, and suddenly thought, didn't he have an invitation in his hand?
Since Su Junting wanted to go so much, he should give him his invitation, as he could get in anyway, after all, it was a dinner party to entertain him.
"Junting, if you want to go to which reception so badly!" Jiang Hao pulled out the invitation and handed it to Su Junting, "Then use this one of mine to go!"
Chapter 22 - Seeing Fang Xiao again
Hearing Jiang Hao's words, Su Junting and Zhou Yuanyuan were both stunned and looked sideways at the shiny gold card in Jiang Hao's hand.
Even Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but be surprised when she saw the invitation card in Jiang Hao's hand.
Su Junting was even wide-eyed with an incredulous look.
"Jiang Hao, where did you get this from?"
Jiang Hao thought about it and said casually, "A friend of mine gave it to me, it's fine, you can take this, I'll ask him for one later!"
Su Junting: ""
Of course Su Junting could see that the invitation in Jiang Hao's hand was many times more exclusive than Zhou Yuanyuan's. She had never attended a party before.
She had also attended this kind of reception once before, but the level was much lower than this one.
But even if it was, it was still enough to shock Su Junting. Whether it was the class of the guests, the manner in which they spoke, or the food and drinks served inside, they were all very elaborate.
Generally speaking, the more distinguished the guests, the more beautifully crafted and colourful the invitations received.
After all, this is an affirmation of the guests' status.
The copper green invitation that Zhou Yuanyuan took was actually just the most common kind, and the more senior ones would usually be silver and white.
And like this golden invitation in Jiang Hao's hand, generally only the most noble people are worthy of this kind of invitation.
Su Junting looked at Jiang Hao and it was obvious that he did not look like that kind of person.
Su Junting was dumbfounded when she heard Zhou Yuanyuan beside her burst into laughter.
"Haha, what a laugh." Zhou Yuanyuan had obviously come around too, thinking to herself that the thing in Jiang Hao's hand was not real at all.
"You're a drama queen, aren't you? Do you think it's funny." Zhou Yuan Yuan continued mockingly, "You don't say it, you really did make this invitation look like that! But do you think we'll believe it? Who are you to give you an invitation? And a gold card invitation? You're not only an actor, you're also a brainiac, you don't even know how to follow the logic of a f*cking fake!"
After she finished speaking, Zhou Yuanyuan snatched the invitation from Jiang Hao's hand, ripped it up violently and threw it at Jiang Hao's face fiercely.
Zhou Yuanyuan finally gloated again and said to Su Junting, "Junting, see? Today is the best example, if you continue to date this kind of person in the future, you too will be laughed off! You'd better think it over!"
After saying her words, Zhou Yuanyuan raised her head and left, not even giving Jiang Hao a chance to retort.
Su Junting looked at the invitation that had been torn into two pieces and sighed silently. Although she also knew that the invitation was probably fake, no matter it was real or fake, it was still Jiang Hao's heart.
At least he was sincere in his treatment of himself and could see what he had in mind.
These were things that Zhou Yuanyuan, the so-called best friend who had been with her for years, could not do.
Su Junting sighed and silently bent down to pick up the invitation, squeezed out a smile and said, "Jiang Hao, thank you, I'll accept the invitation."
"So will you go tomorrow?" Jiang Hao asked.
Su Junting was a little hesitant, after all, she knew in her heart that the possibility of this invitation in Jiang Hao's hand being real was slim to none.
But if she said straight away that she wouldn't go, it would be too hurtful, wouldn't it?
"I will definitely go if I have the time." Su Junting smiled.
But Jiang Hao could also hear the perfunctory meaning in these words.
Hey, forget it, let's listen to fate. Jiang Hao shook his head and finally smiled at Su Junting, forcing the money in his hand to Su Junting again before he left.
Jiang Hao returned to his dormitory and laid down for a full afternoon.
He was a little depressed in his heart because for so many days, there were so many people who didn't believe in him, and so many people who mocked him.
But Jiang Hao felt that it didn't matter, why did he need to be ordinary with those people again? It didn't matter if they didn't believe in themselves, they were still alive and well.
Just like some people don't believe that the earth is round, but the earth is still passing itself on. Because that kind of questioning by small individuals doesn't affect it at all.
It's like no matter how much people discriminate and look down on Jiang Hao, they still can't change the fact that he has a top-notch rich dad.
Jiang Hao even longed for the day when these people knew his identity, how would they feel?
The next afternoon, Jiang Hao estimated that it was about time, so he took a taxi directly to the Grand Hyatt Hotel.
This was one of the most prestigious five-star hotels in Chu Jiang, and in the past, Jiang Hao didn't even have the chance to go in, let alone be entertained here.
Even when he got into the taxi, the driver took a look at Jiang Hao and casually asked, "Going to do a part-time job? You can, young man, I've heard that the part-time jobs there earn a lot of money."
Jiang Hao didn't bother to explain, nodded silently and said, "Yes, it's a part-time job."
After all, the other party was a taxi driver, so I guess if he told the truth, he wouldn't believe it, instead he would think he was a psychopath again, just like the others.
When the car was almost at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, the master driver stopped the car at the roadside, Jiang Hao was a bit puzzled, so he asked why he didn't drive over.
The driver laughed and said, "That's the Grand Hyatt Hotel, you think it's a car and you dare to drive into it? Look over there, at the very least it has to be that kind of car to barely dare to drive into someone's entrance."
Jiang Hao paid the money and said as the taxi driver looked away, he saw an Andy A4 slowly stopping in front of the huge turnstile of the Howlite Hotel.
And as soon as the passenger door of that Audi opened, the person who stepped down simply made Jiang Hao stare.
"Fang Xiao?" Jiang Hao muttered.
That's right, that Audi was Liu Yan's, and they had actually appeared here too, so they must have come for the reception too, right?
Jiang Hao didn't want to see this woman, at this moment his heart was still full of hatred for Fang Xiao.
Until now, Jiang Hao could not forget how much he hated Fang Xiao when he saw her when the hotel room door opened!
Almost at the same time, Fang Xiao, who had just gotten out of the car, also instantly saw Jiang Hao on the roadside, and immediately frowned, and finally got playful.
She was at first curious as to why Jiang Hao was here, but soon she understood that she guessed this loser was here to join the fun.
Just him deserves to be here? Heh
"Yo, what a coincidence, how can I run into you anywhere?" Fang Xiao smiled smugly at Jiang Hao, "Why are you here? I'm afraid you're not looking for a chance to sneak in for a bite to eat or drink, are you? This is the Grand Hyatt Hotel, the security level is as high as the White House, you can't climb in even if you turn into a toad!"
He hadn't provoked this woman, but she had come on her own?
Jiang Hao already hated Fang Xiao, and at this moment, he loathed her even more.
"Xiaoxiao, don't talk about people like that!" Just then, Liu Yan, who had just parked his car, also came over and looked at Jiang Hao with a stifled smile, "People might just be passing by, after all, this kind of place, which is not something that anyone would want to come to. Right, Jiang Hao haha"
Jiang Hao's face was stern, he knew that these two gods of misery, whenever they met him, nothing good would come of it.
In the beginning, they had done something wrong to themselves, so why were they guilty of their own sins instead?
Jiang Hao said coldly, "I'm here for the reception, I don't want to make much trouble with you guys today."
Jiang Hao was about to walk around Liu Yan to go up the steps, but the other party blocked the way.
"Snort what did you say? You're here for the cocktail party? Haha, don't laugh me to death, will you? Come on are you not awake? Do you know what you're talking about?" Liu Yan snorted and said sarcastically, "Do you really think that any cat or dog can get in? Oh, do you have an invitation?"
As he spoke, Liu Yan took out a silver-white invitation card and gently patted Jiang Hao's face with it, saying, "See? This is it, where's yours? Oh."
Liu Yan's words were full of complacency and arrogance.
Only his arrogance, in Jiang Hao's opinion, was childishly ridiculous.
Jiang Hao looked straight at Liu Yan and smiled, "I don't need this thing, get out of the way."
Don't need it?
Liu Yan laughed again, thinking, "Is it interesting for you to blow off steam like this? Ask all the guests on this occasion, which one of them does not have a copy of the invitation?
Liu Yan was about to open his mouth when he heard a burst of laughter coming from the side.
He turned his head to look, and saw Qiao Dong walking over with a sarcastic smile on his face and his hands in his pockets.
Chapter 23 - A phone call
"Aigoo, Young Dong!" The moment he saw Qiao Dong, Liu Yan hurriedly extended his hand with a smile, "What a coincidence!"
Qiao Dong returned the smile, and after the two of them exchanged a few pleasantries, when his gaze fell on Jiang Hao, his face changed abruptly.
After all, although Liu Yan's family was still a little different from his own, they were both rich kids after all.
Jiang Hao was different, he was dressed so poorly and was a dirtbag at first glance, so how could such a person be in his company?
Qiao Dong looked Jiang Hao up and down and sneered, "What did you just say? You don't need an invitation to enter? There are two kinds of people who enter from here and don't need an invitation, one is the hotel staff and the second is the top mystery VIP tonight! Oh, which one do you think you are?"
"Huh? Ah?" When Fang Xiao heard Qiao Dong's words, she instantly came to life, now for that kind of top-notch tycoon, Fang Xiao was like a fly seeing an egg with a seam.
"Oh, of course you guys wouldn't know." Qiao Dong said with a smug face, "This matter, only a few people know, I'll tell you this, this reception today, nominally for the Chujiang high society to eat, drink and have fun, but in reality, this is just incidental, the real purpose, is a few of the top bigwigs in Chujiang, invite that mysterious VIP to have a meal."
This was very clear, your smug cocktail party was actually just a derivative of a dinner party of others.
When they heard Qiao Dong's words, Liu Yan and Fang Xiao were both dumbfounded, for this was indeed the first time they had heard of such a refreshing event, and their hearts were immediately filled with curiosity about the mysterious VIP.
Fang Xiao even looked a little excited and hurriedly turned her back, pulling out her accompanying cosmetics to touch up her make-up.
"Oh, do you think you're the mysterious VIP?" Qiao Dong said to Jiang Hao with a leathery smile.
Jiang Hao looked at Qiao Dong with no anger or joy on his face and said indifferently, "You'll know who I am in a moment."
Having said that, Jiang Hao turned around and was about to walk towards the hotel.
But just as he moved, he was violently shoved by Qiao Dong.
Obviously angry, Qiao Dong pointed at Jiang Hao and scolded him angrily, "What kind of a person are you? How dare you talk to me like that? Are you worthy of acting like a pussy? Who else are you? You're probably just a stinky part-timer recruited by our hotel.
Qiao Dong's words immediately won the consensus of Fang Xiao and Liu Yan, and the two of them even helped, "That's right, poor pussies are poor pussies, but you still like to pretend to be a pussy, you have a hole in your brain, right?"
"It's true that dumping you was my wisest decision, it seems that you are not only poor, but also sick, sick in the head!"
Jiang Hao looked at Fang Xiao and Liu Yan and said indifferently, "Have you scolded enough? Oh, if not, then you'd better keep on cursing, otherwise, you might not have the chance after a while!"
Jiang Hao looked coldly at the three people in front of him, and although his heart would also sulk at their insults, he was calm.
He knew clearly that these people could at most show off with their mouths, what could they really do to themselves? As long as he was happy, he could make them and even their families fall into ruin with the lift of his hand.
"Pah!"
As soon as Jiang Hao finished speaking, he felt a numbness on his face, and a slap on his face was raw and painful.
"How can I meet you anywhere?"
Jiang Hao turned his head and saw Wang Jiani glaring at himself with a disgusted look on her face, "You're really disgusting, how can I meet you everywhere, and every time I see you, it's always you bragging! Just bragging to others, but don't open your blind eyes to see who all this is!"
As soon as Wang Jiani appeared, Qiao Dong's face was suddenly filled with joy and said, "Jiani, you're here, hey didn't I tell you, I fell asleep yesterday, 200,000 yuan was charged long ago, otherwise that bullsh*t Hearing Wind, I could have abused his Xiang!"
Wang Jiani sighed and said, "Forget it, the past is the past, but young Dong, this is what you owe me, you can remember to compensate me!"
Qiao Dong hurriedly smiled and put his arm around Wang Jiani's shoulders, "Fine, fine, Brother Dong will definitely make it up to you in the future!"
Although Qiao Dong's mouth was like honey, Wang Jiani still hated this man with gritted teeth and wanted to slap him like she had just slapped Jiang Hao.
He was the one who had disgraced himself in the whole Chu Jiang University yesterday and had become the laughing stock of the whole school.
But after all, Qiao Dong was a broad young man and still had use for himself, otherwise with Wang Jiani's character, she would have flipped out with him long ago.
But Wang Jiani was still angry, still furious, still had nowhere to vent her anger, and it just so happened that Jiang Hao was here, wasn't this a ready-made outlet for her anger?
"What are you looking at? Get lost, I'm sick of seeing you!" Wang Jiani glared at Jiang Hao and said to Qiao Dong, "Brother Dong, hurry up and have someone get rid of this idiot, I'm going to throw up if I see him again!"
As soon as she heard Wang Jiani speak like this, Fang Xiao also laughed and agreed, "That's right, young Dong, this is the Grand Hyatt Hotel, he's dressed so poorly and standing at the door, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
As Fang Xiao spoke, she subconsciously moved closer to Qiao Dong's side, and her eyes even tried to discharge.
In Fang Xiao's opinion, although Liu Yan was already good, but this Qiao Dong was the top broad young man, if she could ride on his boat one day, wouldn't she be more prosperous?
If there was really a day, she would not hesitate to kick Liu Yan.
"That's right young Dong, Xiao Xiao is right, this kind of people standing here, pulling down the class not to mention polluting the environment, hurry up and get rid of them!"
Qiao Dong laughed and snapped his fingers at the security guard at the front door of the hotel, the one standing straight immediately trotted over and asked with a smile on his face, "Young Dong, what are your orders?"
Qiao Dong pointed at Jiang Hao and said in a condescending manner, "What else do you want? You are blind to see such a thing standing at the door, aren't you?"
The guard's face turned pale as he was scolded, and when he looked at Jiang Hao, his gaze turned disgusted.
After all, it was all because of Jiang Hao that he had gotten a bad scolding!
"Don't be angry, Young Dong, I'll drive him away now!" The guard lowered his head and whispered to make amends, "Don't worry, Young Dong, I will definitely take care of this matter, it's windy outside, why don't you go in first?"
After saying that, the security guard angrily walked towards Jiang Hao and shouted, "Did you not understand the words? Get lost!"
Jiang Hao didn't even care about this security guard, Qiao Dong was not even a fart in front of him, let alone a mere security guard.
"I'm a guest, you'd better have a better attitude, or else you'll lose your job is a small matter, and you might not even think of the consequences yourself."
The security guard snorted coldly at his words and pushed Jiang Hao backwards two steps as he cursed, "What the hell are you? You're still a guest, do you know what kind of people come here? You're quite out of your depth, do you have an invitation?"
Jiang Hao's invitation had been given to Su Junting, but how did he need an invitation if he wanted to get in?
"I don't have one." Jiang Hao said, "And there's no need! Someone is coming to pick me up."
As he spoke, Jiang Hao took out his mobile phone, ready to call Ye Yunjie and ask her to come down and pick him up.
When Qiao Dong on the side saw that the security guard was still talking nonsense to Jiang Hao, his face suddenly turned gloomy and he pointed at the security guard and scolded angrily, "What are you bothering to talk to him? If he doesn't get lost, you can beat him away for me. You're still talking nonsense with this kind of trash, are you sick?"
Qiao Dong then scolded Jiang Hao angrily, "Are you still awake? Someone else picked you up, who do you think you are? Do you really think you're the mysterious VIP today? I think you're crazy to want to be famous! Hurry up and beat it out of me!"
The security guard was scolded and became even angrier at Jiang Hao, knowing that the one who was angry was the young master of his family, so he might lose his job!
The guard walked over and raised his hand to Jiang Hao and smacked him!
And almost at that moment, Jiang Hao also dialed Ye Yunjie's number.
Jiang Hao could not help but reveal a smile at the corner of his mouth, looking at the people in front of him, thinking in his heart: the young master of the Howlite Hotel, right?
The phone beeped
But at that moment, the security guard's big hand slapped over, hitting Jiang Hao with a stumble, and the phone in his hand flew out abruptly
