Chapter 209 Small Potential Stock
Qiao Suisui listened carefully to the following sharing sessions, participated appropriately, and took some notes. After the sharing session, there was a free cocktail party. The CEO who had a good impression of Qiao Suisui found her and invited her to join his project team on the spot. When he heard that she was only a freshman, he was surprised.

He laughed heartily and said, "One wave is higher than the other. Today's young people are incredible. They have a global vision at a young age. They have a bright future."

Guan Weizhi was talking to three or five people who came up to chat. He was holding a glass of wine, his eyes seemed careless, but he was actually always paying attention to what was going on with Qiao Suisui. Seeing Zhonghe's investment manager coming over to toast him, he said, "It's just right, I'll take you to see someone."

So Guan Weizhi took Larry to Qiao Suisui, and seeing that she was chatting enthusiastically with the CEO, he deliberately said in a familiar tone: "I thought you would be stage fright, it seems that my worries were in vain, you are like a fish in water."

When the CEO saw that it was Guan Weizhi, he was surprised for a moment, then he stretched out his hand to greet him. After everyone greeted each other, the CEO's eyes went back and forth between Qiao Suisui and Guan Weizhi, then he asked tentatively: "Do you two know each other?"

Guan Weizhi said, "This is my student." He pointed at Qiao Suisui and said to Larry, who was standing beside him in a suit and tie, "This is the person I want you to meet, dark horse. You better seize the opportunity."

"Teacher Guan, you're just joking. I'm just a freshman." Qiao Susu smiled modestly.

Larry breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately she is not an illegitimate daughter, otherwise the group’s stock price would fall if the news were leaked.

He still looked like a business elite as he shook hands with Qiao Suisui: "I'm very impressed by your answer just now. Are you interested in joining the Dark Horse Project?"

As expected, Larry extended an olive branch to Qiao Susu, promising that Zhonghe would pay for her tuition until graduation, but 10% of her annual income from her first job after graduation would be used as repayment. If it exceeded the total tuition, there would be no next repayment. If it was less, it would be collected until it equaled the investment amount.

This is a very reasonable win-win condition, and Qiao Susu certainly has no reason to refuse.

But she didn't expect that just by attending an event today, she could solve her tuition fees for the next three years. This instantly relieved her financial pressure by more than half!

Qiao Suisui didn't worry about whether Larry invested in her for her talent or to curry favor with Guan Weizhi. If a person wants to live a splendid life, he should focus on openness and conspiracy. The real ability is to use the resources around him to leverage everything and turn what is not his into his own. When her peers and even some newly graduated college students were still hypocritical about right and wrong and shouting that black is white, Qiao Suisui had already abandoned the either-or values.

At this moment, she felt that she was no longer a child. However, in a corner of her heart, she still kept some unrealistic fantasies. For example, at this moment, the more excited she was, the more she hoped that Luka and the others could be by her side to share her joy.

After the event, before getting off the bus, Qiao Susu took out an exquisite box from her schoolbag and handed it to Guan Weizhi.

"Why, you're thinking of bribing me now?"

Guan Weizi opened it and found a pair of exquisite cufflinks inside.

"Happy birthday, Teacher Guan."

Guan Weizi was stunned. He raised his eyes to look at Qiao Suisui, unsure whether he had lost control of his facial expression at this moment.

"I accidentally saw your ID card once before and found out that your birthday is today. I think this pair of cufflinks suits you very well, but I'm sure they can't compare with your taste."

She saw Guan Weizi looking at the cuffs in his hands with his head down as if frozen, without saying a word. She couldn't tell for a moment whether he liked it or not, so she gave a dry laugh, got out of the car and said goodbye to him.

When Qiao Susu was walking around to the other side of the car and preparing to head toward the gate of the community, she was stopped by Guan Weizi who was sitting in the car.

She turned her head, approached the window of the main driver's seat, and asked, "Teacher Guan, is there anything else?"

Guan Weizi lowered the entire car window and leaned her upper body out of the window. The man's powerful hands gently clasped the back of her head and pulled her into his arms.

On a breezy night, a street singer's voice rang nearby.

【Hey, let’s bloom. 】

[So-called reserve is a waste, your embarrassment and charm,]

Guan Weizhi pulled her, his eyes filled with excitement. Under the cover of the song, he asked her with a trembling voice and expectation on his face: "Why did you give me a birthday present? You know this is crossing the line, right?"

Qiao Suisui was slightly startled. It was the first time she saw him lose his composure like this. She said, "I just want to express my gratitude, Teacher Guan. You have helped me a lot. And I may not be able to give you what you want."

Guan Weizhi's feelings were exposed for the first time, and he didn't expect it to be in this way. He understood Qiao Suisui's secret rejection, and his whole body stiffened. The street singer strummed the guitar hard and sang at the top of his lungs -

[There is something called love at first sight, be careful]

[I'm right, so why are you being so hypocritical?]

[I don’t want you to love me, nor do I want you to hate me. Both are too fucking troublesome——]

[All I want is simplicity, honesty, and to enjoy the ordinary——]

Qiao Susu gently struggled out of Guan Weizi's grip, took a step back, and was about to say goodbye, but was pulled back by Guan Weizi the next moment.

The wind blew her long hair, the man's hand pinched her chin, and he kissed her desperately.

At first he wanted to kiss her lips directly, but the moment he reached her lips he restrained himself and changed direction to her cheek.

The kiss of a dragonfly touching the water contains more emotions of love and cherishment, rather than coercion and venting. It is like a goodnight kiss to a child before going to bed.

Guan Weizhi whispered in her ear: "Anyway, thank you for your birthday gift, my little potential stock."

After saying that, he sat back in the driver's seat, didn't look at her again, and drove away.

The street singer is still singing with his eyes closed.

[All I want is for you to love me, not for you to hate me, so why are there so many troubles]

[All I want is simplicity, honesty, and to enjoy the ordinary]

[What I want must be right, because when I miss it, the wound still hurts sometimes]

[It will be fine, it will be fine]

"It's going to be okay. Everything is going to be okay."

Kay wrapped Carl, who was soaking wet, in a towel and kept saying to him, "If she were here and saw you like this, wouldn't she be sad?"

"Karl, bear with it, everything will be fine."

"Karl, control yourself and don't make the same mistake again!"

In the dim room, the curtains were closed, blocking out the outside light. In a corner of the room, Carl huddled in the shadows, his hands trembling and his eyes unfocused. If Kai hadn't been holding him back, waves of uncontrollable impulses would have overwhelmed his will and raged through his body.

Every cell in Carl's body seemed to be screaming, craving for that fatal comfort. In the days after Qiao Suisui left, he could not bear the torment of missing her, and secretly used hallucinogens in pain and became addicted. His breathing was very rapid, his skin was covered with cold sweat, and he was surrounded by rising anxiety and despair. During the struggle, the towel slipped off, revealing large bruises and pinholes on his arms.

He kept looking in one direction, his eyes unfocused.

"Kai, help me turn on the light. Help me turn on the light." Carl panted and looked at the warm orange lamp, and murmured unconsciously: "Help me turn on the light, I want to wait for her to come back."

Carl lay on the ground, smiling silently, a tear falling from the corner of his eye, because Qiao Suisui's smiling eyes and voice appeared in front of his eyes and ears again under the influence of hallucinogens.

——Aren’t you afraid that I won’t come home in the future?

——Then I will wait for you. If you don’t come back, I will keep the lights on and wait for you.
