<h4>Chapter 185 The Opening Ceremony</h4>


    Since Gu Ning made a promise, Zhang Qiuhuapromised, but she still reminded her to study hard. If she failed to do so, Zhang Qiuhua wouldn’t allow her to leave the next time.


    “Oh, Yu Mixi is going to the opening ceremony with me today. Please allow it too,” Gu Ning added.


    “You...” Zhang Qiuhua was mad, but permitted it in the end. She pushed Gu Ning out with impatience. “Go away now, and leave me alone.”


    Gu Ning understood that Zhang Qiuhua was not really being unkind, so she didn’t mind. She thanked her teacher before walking out.


    The minute Gu Ning was gone, Jiang Yuan stepped in. Seeing that Zhang Qiuhua was displeased, he asked with care, “Professor Zhang, are you alright?”


    “I’m fine. I’m just mad at Gu Ning. The test is around the corner, but she still always asks for a leave,” Zhang Qiuhuained.


    “As least she asks for your permission. Chu Peihan in my ss would never do that,” Jiang Yuan said. In fact, no one dared to restrict Chu Peihan because of her special background.


    Gu Ning went back to her ssroom, and told Yu Mixi that they could leaveter. Yu Mixi was relieved.


    Except for Mu Ke and An Yi who needed to ask for their teachers’ permission, Chu Peihan, Hao Ran and the others all left when they wanted to. It would be strange if they went to ask for permission. Their teachers would be surprised if they did that.


    When the afternoon sses were finally over, they left their school together, and went to buy flowers.


    “Boss, I noticed that Chen Ziyao was absent today!” Chu Peihan said.


    “She must be too embarrassed toe,” Mu Keughed.


    “Although she was exposed, I still feel unhappy that I didn’t punch her,” Chu Peihan said, like she missed something and felt ufortable.


    “I agree,” Hao Ran said.


    “Alright, beating someone is not always the best way to solve problems,” Gu Ning persuaded them.


    They went to a market to buy two baskets of flowers and nts. Before anyone else could pay the bill, Gu Ning did it herself. Then, they went to the construction material market.


    The flower shop arranged a small truck to take the baskets of flowers and nts to the destination. The truck had space avable for four people to sit in. Gu Ning let Mu Ke, Hao Ran, Qin Zixun and Zhang Tianping have a seat in it, while Gu Ning and other girls took a taxi.


    When Gu Ning arrived at Jiang Xu’s store, she was totally amazed by the amount of baskets of flowers and nts at the door.


    Wow, there are so many of them! Weren’t we supposed to make it simple? She didn’t want it to be so boring, so she had called An Guangyao, An Qian and her friends, but there were at least dozens of flower baskets!


    Gu Ning walked over to read the banners around the baskets. They were all from bigpanies to congratte the opening of Xuri Construction Material Store.


    She also noticed flower baskets from Shenghua Real Estate and Kamei Beauty Salon.


    Gu Ning had heard of some of thosepanies, while some she had never heard of. That was because Gu Ning didn’t spend much time learning about all the bigpanies in City F.


    Other than those from thepanies, there were many flower baskets from individuals. An Qian’s were among them, and with some, Gu Ning was familiar with their owners.


    Gu Ning and her friends all wrote down their names on the banners of eight flower and nt baskets to congratte the opening of Xuri Construction Material Store.


    There weren’t many people inside when Gu Ning and her friends walked in, because many had already left after they had sent the gifts. Most of the people who stayed were acquaintances and friends.


    Although Jiang Xu was a truck driver in the past, he knew many businessmen. Since Jiang Xu was going to run his own business, they were willing to maintain a good rtionship with him.


    That was the way to build up awork. An Qian was inside with Le Zhengyu.


    “Hi, An Qian, Executive Le. It’s so nice to meet you,” Gu Ning went over, greeting them.


    “Nice to meet you too, Ningning,” An Qian smiled. “Nice to meet you too, Miss Gu,” Le Zhengyu said.


    “Uncle, howe there are so many baskets of flowers and nts at the door?” Gu Ning asked Jiang Xu.


    Jiang Xu answered, “I have no idea either! Many havee to congratte me this morning. I haven’t figured it out yet. Oh, they also sent me many red envelopes with a lot of money inside. One of them even wants to cooperate with me. He’s going to build a two-story 300-square-meters factory in the suburb.”


    Jiang Xu felt like he was in a dream after what he had been through today. It was too good to be true.


    Gu Ning was astonished too. She immediately realized that someone had arranged it, but who?


    While Gu Ning was still thinking about her doubts, a new message came into her phone. She checked it. It was from Leng Shaoting. Gu Ning understood what had happened the minute she read the message.


    Leng Shaoting did it. He had arranged for many business partners of Xu Jinchen’s family to send those gifts.


    Speaking of that, Xu Jinchen was greatly amazed by Leng Shaoting’s request when he received his boss’s call.


    Xu Jinchen called Leng Shaoting every day to ask him when he would be back so that he could leave. Leng Shaoting said that he would be back soon every time, but he never showed up in front of Xu Jinchen, and also refused to tell Xu Jinchen where he was.


    Xu Jinchen didn’t know that Leng Shaoting had gone to City F for Gu Ning until he received the call. To Xu Jinchen’s astonishment, Leng Shaoting had gone to City F for Gu Ning in person.


    Xu Jinchen intended to gossip about their rtionship, but Leng Shaoting hung up on him right away. Xu Jinchen felt hurt, and tortured by his curiosity. However, he didn’t dare to call Leng Shaoting again.


    Damn it! Leng Shaoting, who had been single for so long, was going to have a girlfriend, while he was still alone.


    Luckily, Leng Shaoting allowed him to leave their base so that he could find girls to date, but Leng Shaoting also warned him to keep the fact that he was in City F a secret.


    Xu Jinchen was at least free now. He nned to go to City F to see how it was going between Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting.


    On the way back to the capital, he encountered a robbery. When he finally got to the capital, it was toote to get on a ne to City F, so he had to wait till tomorrow.


    Leng Shaoting sent a message to Gu Ning to tell her what he had done, in case she would be mad that he hadn’t asked for her permission.
