The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 495

When Nan ChaoYang was cursing all the way back to the dormitory, on the other end, Nan XiangWan had just walked to the dormitory area and saw a familiar figure at the door.

The lights of the building cast a long shadow on him.

Gu Beihuai turned around when he heard the sound and smiled, "You're here."

Nan XiangWan ran over excitedly, "Beibei, you must be here to secretly help me write my thesis, right?"

It had to be done secretly so that no one would find out! That way she could avoid being expelled and still complete her thesis!

Gu Beihuai's face darkened, "No."

Nan XiangWan was disappointed. She made a squeaking sound as she abruptly stopped in her tracks and stopped running.

Gu Beihuai helplessly reached out and pulled her over, "You little thing are quite realistic."

Nan XiangWan instinctively tried to break free, but he held her tightly. He grasped her hand and interlocked their fingers.

Gu Beihuai was very close. His breath was right in front of her. He just looked down at her like that.

Nan XiangWan was a little dazed. At this moment she had a very unfamiliar feeling, an accelerated heartbeat that was hard to describe.

Also from this angle, Beibei looked unexpectedly good, what was up with that?

The next second, a big hand was placed on her head, rubbing hard.

Gu Beihuai: "Can I rub your face this hard too?"

Damn competitiveness. Anyway he was at odds with Nan ChaoYang.

Nan XiangWan: "Then you write my thesis for me."

Gu Beihuai: "..."

Forget it, he shouldn't have asked, especially not now. He absolutely shouldn't have let Nan XiangWan speak.

Gu Beihuai stopped rubbing her head after a while, "Alright, I just came to see you back to your dorm. Sleep early, keep fighting tomorrow."

Nan XiangWan listlessly walked past him without even wanting to talk, casually waving her hand to indicate she got it.

Gu Beihuai watched the little cub's back disappear into the dormitory building. He turned his head to look at the dark corner not far away.

Three seconds later, Luo Wei awkwardly jumped down from a tree, "Uh, just passing by, heh heh."

Gu Beihuai: "Do you usually stalk her?"

Luo Wei: "Don't joke around, would I dare! I'd be buried alive! I run away as soon as I see her from afar!"

Gu Beihuai: "I see, then what are you doing now..."

Luo Wei: "I told you I'm just passing by!"

In fact, he thought the two of them would kiss or something. He really wanted to see it so he had hid in this tree early to stake out. Who knew he had guessed Gu Beihuai would show up, but didn't guess the two's progress would be turtle speed.

Forget kissing, they didn't even hug.

It really disappointed Luo Wei!

Gu Beihuai: "Walk me to the school gate."

Luo Wei silently walked side by side with him, looking up at the starry sky as they went.

He suddenly remembered many years ago, it was also at night, the two of them walked like this on the same path.

But fate makes fools of people. The present Gu Beihuai could never go back again.

Luo Wei: "Fox, if you hadn't fired that shot forcefully back then, wouldn't you be a general by now? Haha!"

Gu Beihuai's mouth curved up in a smile: "Whether or not I became a general, I definitely wouldn't have met her."

Luo Wei: "You're vicious."

Gu Beihuai: "How nice. Someone can continue my will."

Luo Wei: "She's not a sniper anyway."

Gu Beihuai: "She's capable of anything."

Luo Wei: "In any case, as long as she doesn't beat me up I'll thank my lucky stars."

Gu Beihuai: "As long as you don't provoke her, she won't target you."

Luo Wei: "Get out of here. I'm keeping such a low profile and she was actually able to find out I was in the navy? This is clearly the posture of stalking prey!"

Gu Beihuai: "It must be because you kept too low a profile, attracting her attention."

Luo Wei: "That works too?"

Gu Beihuai: "Mm. Going too far is as bad as not going far enough. Nan XiangWan has an extraordinary keen perception for any kind of anomaly. She was born to be special forces!"

Luo Wei: "Sigh! Can't escape, can't hide. I'm so miserable. Why did I choose to come for my master's this year?"

Gu Beihuai: "Don't worry. Mantou and Gongjin will both come next year. You guys can take turns getting beaten up by her."

Luo Wei: "Why do I hear gloating in your tone?"

Gu Beihuai: "Isn't this something to look forward to?"

Luo Wei: "..."

After leaving the military academy, Gu Beihuai didn't live in the military district hospital. Instead he chose to live in the Imperial Capital Manor Apartment in the city center, the one Nan XiangWan had crawled through the window of in the middle of the night.

The poor Gongjin had already renovated the whole place. It was comfortable to live in.

But apart from that, another most important reason was that it was very close to the financial tower in the Imperial Capital!

In Gu Beihuai's home, a telescope with 1000x magnification was even prepared, aimed directly at the financial tower.

Once home, Gu Beihuai oriented the device right away, drew the curtains, and professionally and carefully observed the building across through the telescope.

Starting from the top floor, going down floor by floor, looking over each one.

Using his many years of experience as a sniper king, he began to look for flaws!

If not for the inability to fire shots, with this angle he could have easily taken out that fraud on the top floor with one shot.

The financial tower remained brightly lit at night. People kept moving about on floors 13-17. Who knew what they were working overtime on.

In the top floor office, Qiu Chang had not left yet. He was looking over the financial statements.

As he looked, he cursed!

Qiu Chang: "The Yougen Group only invested 50 million? They're messing around! How come the other companies haven't made bids yet?"

The female secretary explained, "The press conference was held hastily. The introduction of the various functions of the new product was insufficient. Several investment companies all said they didn't see any R&D potential."

Qiu Chang was very dissatisfied: "They don't believe in Qiu's Group's capabilities? Go put out word that some technologies aren't disclosed not because we don't have them, but because they don't understand!"

Female secretary: "But... the investment companies pointed out flaws and irrationalities in our new product right then and there."

Qiu Chang: "You're contradicting me?"

Female secretary: "No, that's not it."

Qiu Chang: "You're a tool. Tools shouldn't have their own thoughts, only absolute execution of my orders."

Female secretary: "Yes, I'll go release the message now."

Qiu Chang: "Good. Has the money been transferred?"

Female secretary: "Transferred to your overseas account. Currently 300 million USD raised."

Qiu Chang: "Too little! Ever since that Nan XiangWan made trouble, Qiu's Group's fundraising ability has become worse and worse. In the past with so many days we'd already raised over 1 billion!"

The female secretary didn't dare to speak, only quietly lowered her head to look at her pale, skeletal hands.

Just then, the door was knocked - it was Da Gui's voice from outside: "Boss, seems someone is tailing us."

Qiu Chang was greatly shocked. He instantly pressed the button to close the electric curtains. In a flash the windows on the entire top floor went dark as the light-blocking curtains slowly descended, sealing off the space.

Da Gui looked around, his gaze eventually stopping in the direction of the Manor Apartment building.

Qiu Chang was sweating bullets: "Someone wants to assassinate me? Who!"

Da Gui shook his head: "Impossible. This is China. No one does things like that here. I'm probably just being paranoid."

Qiu Chang was dissatisfied: "Don't make a fuss over nothing in the future. Has Yao Gui and Er Gui sent any messages?"

Da Gui: "Yes. Tan Shen has great talent. He has already contacted plantations in South America and obtained large batches of orders, reserving next year's supply."

Qiu Chang raised a brow: "Good. I heard that kid hasn't been behaving lately?"

Da Gui sneered coldly: "The connections were established by you. The Yaogui and Ergui by his side are also your people. If he doesn't behave, we'll replace him with someone else."

Qiu Chang: "That's why I say you understand me best."
