Chapter 1852 - 1021: Yan
Jiang Ning accepted Xue Chuchu’s salvation calmly.
Then, he let her return to the village.
He stood in front of the town’s civic center with a black bag, waiting. He didn’t give the money to Xue Chuchu, as it wasn’t safe for a little girl to hold so much money. He would keep it for her.
After waiting for less than two minutes, a sturdy white Mercedes G-Class pulled up in front of him.
Through the windshield, Jiang Ning saw Ding Shuyan’s face, sculpted like jade.
Jiang Ning opened the car door, threw his backpack onto the back seat, then his Divine Sense swept over to the girl in the black dress in the driver’s seat. Her sitting posture was exceptionally elegant, with her slender waist wrapped in the fabric of her dress, like the tender willow in early spring.
A beam of sunlight slanted in through the car window, falling into the hollow of her waist, and below it was curvaceous, stretching along the line of her hips.
The unique Sixth Sense of Ding Shuyan was triggered, and she suddenly felt a tremor deep inside her.
Jiang Ning noticed her reaction in surprise, realizing that this girl’s physique was quite different.
’I still need to work hard on my cultivation!’
He withdrew his Divine Sense without change in expression and teased, "Wearing all black and not wearing a seatbelt, are you driving a black car?"
Ding Shuyan tapped on the phone on the holder, which emitted a mechanical voice saying, "Starting to take orders now."
"I could be," she said.
Jiang Ning heard the familiar mechanical sound and suddenly felt a bit of motion sickness.
Yes, it’s 2015 now. Didi and Kuaidi had been in a few months of battle, burning through billions of US dollars, and had just merged two months ago.
The timeline was getting closer and closer to when he left Earth, yet the changes in the ten years after stepping into the mobile internet era were not as drastic as the previous decade.
Ding Shuyan gracefully held the steering wheel, turning in the direction to drive towards Yuzhou City.
She didn’t even wear a seatbelt. With a transcendent by her side, was there even a need for safety measures?
Ding Shuyan drove quietly, analyzing Jiang Ning’s preferences in her mind.
For the past half a year, she had been learning from her aunt’s side. Shao Shuangshuang saw her intelligence and accompanied her for a period, like during the development of Evergreen Liquid. Ding Shuyan had drafted many plans.
In her view, the greatest strength of Evergreen Liquid wasn’t its money-gathering ability but its authority in the aspect of hair growth.
This absolute dominion could entirely be used to create standards, like changing ideologies to manufacture an appearance supremacy.
According to her thoughts, it was about first winning over the academic circle, publishing authoritative journals to verify that hair-loss genes relate to human depravity, then investing in media to shape aesthetic standards, and possibly dabbling in the entertainment industry...
Ding Shuyan had many contingency plans in her mind, plans that she could entirely tell Jiang Ning about, but the question remained, was he interested?
While looking at the rearview mirror, Ding Shuyan sneakily glanced at Jiang Ning several times.
Thinking about how a transcendent like him lived such an ordinary life, she thought perhaps he wasn’t interested.
But according to Ding Shuyan’s observations, in other aspects, Jiang Ning was still willing to participate, like campus activities or public marathons.
So, she also prepared a different set of plans.
Ding Shuyan said, "What do you think about international summer camps?"
Jiang Ning replied without hesitation, "I remember when I was young, experts were always on TV promoting how children from our country lacked living skills and were overshadowed by foreign kids."
Ding Shuyan: "That did happen, but it was the experts talking nonsense."
Jiang Ning rested his arm on the car window and chuckled, "It’s much less now."
Ding Shuyan: "In the era of mobile internet, people are closer to the truth."
Jiang Ning looked at the small-town scenery outside the window and the pedestrians’ admiring gazes at the G-Class, saying, "Not just that, I also wiped out a bunch of those people before."
Ding Shuyan: "Huh?"
Jiang Ning laughed again, "Just kidding."
Ding Shuyan just felt he was inscrutable.
She continued to introduce a topic, "Our Principal Yu at the school has really gone to great lengths for Fourth Middle School’s reputation."
The joint sports meet of the three cities at the end of the month was quite rare. Ordinary schools couldn’t organize it, and the manpower and financial cost involved was no small matter for a high school.
Jiang Ning: "Sounds interesting."
Although he was but an insignificant student at Yu Zhou Fourth Middle School in his past life, he still harbored a lens of nostalgia for his alma mater during those youthful years.
Hearing Jiang Ning’s response, Ding Shuyan understood. She continued, "Three cities are too small; the competitive nature of the sports meet is strong, but it’s too monotonous. If Fourth Middle School wants to be known worldwide, I have a suggestion."
The G-Class was cruising smoothly on the county road at 70 km/h when a white SUV suddenly darted out from a countryside path at a junction.
As the two cars were about to collide, Jiang Ning utilized his mana to floor the accelerator. The G-Class accelerated suddenly, narrowly passing by with a hair’s breadth.
The driver of the white SUV cursed profusely.
Jiang Ning flicked a blinding stream of spiritual light, slicing at the white SUV at an angle, cutting in from the front of the car and precisely severing the driver’s hand.
’People like this shouldn’t be driving on the road, lest they endanger others.’
Ding Shuyan saw this scene in the rearview mirror, her pupils contracting as the driver, clutching his hand, screamed in terror.
Jiang Ning said indifferently, "Keep talking."
He had only given a minor punishment just now; otherwise, it wouldn’t have just been fingers.
Ding Shuyan was moved by this show of judgmental power.
And this time, his action left a mark; his manner of conducting himself was getting more and more wanton.
She even began to feel fortunate that Jiang Ning had no ambition for dominance; otherwise, the entire world might become his zoo...
Ding Shuyan adjusted her mindset and said, "The new product from Evergreen Liquid this time is remarkable, and Yu Zhou Fourth Middle School could try using the novelty of the new Evergreen Liquid to invite renowned high schools from the Yangtze River Delta region to hold a kind of ’Survivor’ competition."
Jiang Ning’s expression became more earnest: "Do you have a plan?"
Ding Shuyan smiled, "Of course."
Jiang Ning pondered for a few seconds, then said, "Maybe we could try it."
Ding Shuyan saw his interest piqued; she knew her proposal was more than half successful. She earnestly said, "I won’t let you down."
Jiang Ning stared at her for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "Today you’re not too greasy."
Ding Shuyan was silent; did she like being greasy?
’It’s all to become the way you like!’
...
April 6th, evening, back-to-school day.
Jiang Ning rode his bike with Tongtong into the school. On the main path of the campus, Xiao Shaoxiong walked with one hand in his pocket and the other holding his newly purchased Samsung S6.
He was showing off too much, with an air of "you all looked down on me back then, but now I’m riding in a Mercedes-Benz."
When he saw Jiang Ning, he even greeted him proactively, "Yo, Jiang Ning."
Jiang Ning laughed, "Changed phone, huh?"
Xiao Shaoxiong was elated, his smile wide like the Nike logo, and he waved his hand, "Not bad; just grabbed it while shopping."
Xue Yuantong: "Jiang Ning, is it expensive?"
Jiang Ning: "More than five thousand, I guess."
Xue Yuantong: "That’s really a lot of money. Five thousand yuan could buy me enough ice cream to last ten years!"
Xiao Shaoxiong was absolutely delighted, buying a phone just for moments like this.
He asked again, "Right, the classroom should be open, right? I plan to charge my power bank."
"It’s open," Jiang Ning said.
"Great, great, great!"
As Jiang Ning was about to leave on his bike, he gave a sympathetic look at Xiao Shaoxiong.
