Chapter 53

Through the David family's promotion banquet, Nada also saw the dark tide behind the smiling faces in this big family.

 One could also feel the contemptuous sight of them looking at themselves with careless condescension.

 Nada was more or less exhausted, though she looked as if nothing had happened.

 David is probably also afraid that he is uncomfortable, the whole process is accompanied by his own side, even if the toast, but also to pull him a piece to go, never let him alone.

 Nada was flattered by this consideration, but there was an unspoken emotion in her heart.

 The mood was probably one of being able to touch the light of the sun, but not being able to have his sense of loss and panic.

 It was also on this occasion that Nada met David's friends.

 All of them were good looking, especially Alex, who was handsome and tall and looked like a beautiful boy from a comic book, and the others were also good looking.

 Alex gave him a toast, smiled and said a few words of congratulations, David also smiled and responded, but was very disciplined, did not socialize with Alex and the others.

 Alex sensed his solemnity, glanced at Nada next to him, and volunteered, "Why don't you introduce this one next to you?"

 David, still in a state of tightened caution, listened to Alex and introduced himself somewhat stiffly, "This is Nada, this is Alex, and this is Sam, Mo Gui ... "

 After his introduction, he added to Nada, "There are too many names, so you don't need to memorize them---are you tired? Let me accompany you to your room to rest."

 With that said, Nada was escorted away from Alex and the others.

 Sam giggled and said, "What, so uptight."

 Alex said, "Forget it, go sit over there."

 Nada was taken upstairs to his presidential suite and asked in a light tone, "Why don't you talk to them?"

 David whispered, "I know you don't like them, so I don't play with them."

 Nada said, "Where did you get the idea that I didn't like it?"

 David scratched his head and said, "Well, I do think you're more important."

 Again, he said in a deep voice, "I'll listen to you, I won't spend money on them from now on, I'll be an iron rooster from now on!!!"

 Nada looked at him a little surprised, "I didn't say anything about you not spending money on your friends."

 David said, "You mean don't be an ATM for them, I get it, I was trying to listen to you and re-screen these friends of mine and not unilaterally spend money on them in the future if I can."

 Nada's tone softened as she listened, "I thought you'd forget about it the next day after I finished speaking, but I didn't think you'd still have that realization."

 David's first reaction to hearing this from him wasn't aggression, but questioning himself; was he so unreliable that Nada didn't even trust him?

 Well, it's true that he's unreliable, and he places too much value on the so-called hairy friendship.

 David said, "If I don't change now, Sam will ask me for a loan for any future business venture and then lose everything and not pay me back a dime."

 Nada: "?"

 David said, "I'm kind of invariably saving a ton of money if I'm the Iron Duke, and that's a lot of money that I'm saving, and that's like what I've earned, don't you think?"

 Nada: "..."

 Nada said, "You're awesome."

 David more and more think is this reason, Sam looking for his shares to invest in his various industries, basically what to invest in can not come back money. He does not care too much, he is eight million a month, spend all spend, if the investment in what, even if it earns a little money, but also counted on his vision and skill is strong.

 But this kind of behavior, in Nada's eyes, might be foolish behavior.

 The former son also had problems with Nada over all this, because he preferred to hang out with his friends than with his cold wife.

 What kind of brain is that of his, where can Jack and the others be as important as Nada?

 A hundred Jacks wouldn't be as important as Nada.

 Does he even have an image in Nada's eyes now?

 Even though he's good looking, has a nice body, and has a big handful, wouldn't he really be like a duck if he really only dabbled in that aspect of his life?

 David was a little annoyed at the thought, and he immediately said, "You wait."

 He fumbled for his cell phone, pulled up Jack's number with a serious look on his face, and called him.

 Soon Jack picked up, "Hello? Why are you calling me? You want me to come to your promotion party? Then you have to apologize to me, even though the cruise ship has been delivered, it can still be reversed, but it will be deducted from the deposit of half a million dollars, I'll pay for this."

 David said in a solemn tone, "Jack, let's cut ties."

 Jack's side was silent for a moment before he said, "What the hell, are you serious?"

 David said, "I don't need friends like you around who treat me like an atm, from now on this circle will have you without me, and me without you! That's it!"

 After saying that, without waiting for Jack to jump, he hung up the phone and blacklisted Jack in the process. After doing that, he looked over at Nada and said, "His dad relies on my family for support as well, I'll tell my dad to leave him alone."

 Nada said after a moment, "You don't have to go that far."

 David said, "I'm voting with you that I will listen to you."

 Nada: "..."

 Nada closed her eyes and plopped down on the table.

 David looked over at him and cautiously asked, "What's wrong with you?"

 Nada sat up straight as he grabbed the red wine on the table and asked, "Where's the corkscrew?"

 David found the corkscrew from next to the bouquet, "Don't poke your hand, let me open it for you."

 After saying that, grabbed the red wine bottle in Nada's hand, skillfully knocked the mouth of the bottle, and used the corkscrew to turn the wooden stopper of the red wine bottle, "This wine is produced by Chateau Margaux '01, the taste is poor, go back to give you a taste of '95 ..."

 The words immediately stopped as he remembered Adolf's words.

 Nada gave him a look, "Why don't you continue?"

 David laughed ha-ha-ha, "I don't think I have a '95 in my house."

 He wasn't so much careful as someone who said whatever came to mind, per se, but when he thought about what Adolf had said, he was supposed to be careful.

 David got cautious and Nada didn't realize it, maybe David did unconsciously exude a sense of superiority, but Nada never thought about it in that way, he only sensed David's abject sincerity in wanting to give him all the good things.

 Like the small detail of giving him clothes with the hangtags cut off, it also stuck with him.

 He did struggle with what he could give David, though.

 Nada watched as David poured him a drink, the red liquid tumbling into the crystal clear goblet like a blood red flower in full bloom in a gaudy vile.

 He reached for the red wine on the table, poured a large glass full into the crystal clear goblet, held it and began to drink.

 David said, "You drink less, this red wine has been sitting for almost ten years, it's good to drink, but it has a strong aftertaste, and if you get drunk you're going to have a headache again."

 Nada gave him a look and poured him a drink, "You drink too."

 David said, "No, I can't drink, I can still carry you downstairs if you're drunk."

 Nada was quiet for a moment and said, "Then forget it."

 He drank the entire glass of red wine, his stomach was hot, but his mind was extraordinarily clear, "Go down there, don't keep them waiting too long."

 David looked at him and said, "Is the energy coming up? Are you drunk?

 Nada said, "I'm not drunk."

 He smiled, a bright smile that was moving and charming because of the emotions in his eyes, "Do I look drunk to you?"

 David looked at his pretty flushed face and subconsciously gulped, saying, "Like, it's not like you're a bad drinker."

 Nada's eyes twitched, "You know again, where did you get the idea that I'm a bad drinker."

 David rightly said, "You don't look like the kind of guy who can hold his liquor."

 Nada stood up, "Let's go."

 Because of his dizziness, he was a little unsteady on his feet and almost fell, David hurriedly stood up and scooped him up into his arms and hugged him, whispering in his ear, "You must be drunk, forget it, let's go back."

 Nada didn't say anything, he did it on purpose, he wanted to be capricious for once.

 David assists him down the stairs to take him home, Adolf sees this and tells him to go back and remember to ask his aunt to make sober soup.

 David answered and was almost into the elevator when Alex came up to him quickly, called out to him, and asked, "Did you just tell Jack to cut it out?"

 "Did he ask you to be a lobbyist?" David asked rhetorically.

 Alex said, "He approached me, but I didn't say yes... did you decide that early on, or did it come out of the blue?"

 David replied, "I want to be a man with an image and charisma."

 Alex froze and subconsciously looked to Nada in his arms, "Because of him?"

 How smart he was to sense the difference based on David's words alone.

 A man only values these if he likes to care.

 Alex feels incredulous, "I thought you were just playing around and now you're taking it seriously? Little Ancestor, are you out of your mind? It's okay for you to think of him as a friend, but don't take it too seriously."

 David subconsciously covered Nada's ears, "What are you babbling about, hurry up and go back you, I'll ignore you if you keep talking nonsense."

 After that, he pressed the elevator door a few more times, and with a thud, the elevator door opened, and David rushed in with Nada.

 Except there was someone else in the elevator and David almost ran into him.

 David looks, "Shit, Shi Yan Yu, why you again!"

 Shi Yan Yu's cold and haughty face immediately revealed a smile and said in a light tone, "How come our protagonist has to leave the stage early?"

 David said, "None of your business, don't you talk to me."

 Saying that, he pressed Nada's head into his arms to keep Shi Yan Yu from seeing it.

 Nada felt stuffy and pushed at his chest, "Hot."

 David loosened up a bit and turned around, separating Nada from Shi Yan Yu.

 Shi Yan Yu looked at this scene and found it very interesting.

 Nada seemed to sense something and frowned lightly.

 Once in David's car, Nada felt in her pocket and pulled a business card out of it.

 David saw the business card in his hand, poked his head in and exploded, "What's he doing? Showing off that he's a GM at 20?"

 Nada: "?"

 That's how he reacts when people slip him business cards?

 David said, "The business card is so pompous, why doesn't he have a real gold plating? Don't worry, if I'm not busy with my major, I'll open a company and become the president, more senior than his general manager!"

 Nada's cold face, "Oh."

That business card ended up being torn up by David.

 You can see how much David hates that Shi Yan Yu from here.

 Nada isn't taking this one seriously either.

 After the promotion banquet, David took Nada around Kyoto, climbed the Great Wall and saw the Forbidden City, and after a few days, Nada got sunburned and stayed at David's house for a few days.

 During this time David's phone has been busted, Jack and his father Mo Rulong came over several times, because David is not at home, Adolf played too much to perfunctory past.

 I don't know how Jack knew Nada's phone number, but he also called Nada a few times, and Nada was too confused to answer it.

 When he's comfortable, he's going back to A City.

 David, however, didn't follow him back, and Nada was a little puzzled when David said gravely, "I've come up with a way to make money! I'm going to stay here and make money!"

 Nada: "... There's still a month to go before school starts, you're going to work part time? No more part time jobs like ducks, physical labor isn't worth it, and now that you're doing so well on your exams, demand more."

 David: "... is not being a duck, I'm making money with my brain."

 He noticed the look in Nada's eyes, became sensitive, and accused, "I can't believe you don't believe me!"

 I can't believe he saw it, Nada immediately said with a sincere face, "Of course I believe you, even if you say you're a superhuman agent genetic warrior, I believe you."

 David commiserated, "... I get the feeling you're being sarcastic."

 Nada laughed, her tone became calm as usual, "Just kidding with you, since you won't go to a city with me, you'll be at home, but don't forget to study, I'll call over every day to supervise you." After a pause, added: "also don't jerk off too much, it's not good for the body."

 Such assiduous advice and earnest concern ... can be really like an old mother.

 David responded one by one, of course he couldn't let go of Nada, but Nada obviously wasn't as happy over here as she was over in the a-city, and he thought about it, he still had to let Nada go back before he could do so.

 After Nada leaves, David is the first to reach out to Adolf for money.

 Adolf was a little surprised to hear his reasoning, "You're starting your own business?"

 David had a look of maturity and stability on his face at this point, "Yeah, I'm going to make money on my own."

 Adolf said with realization, "You're trying to send money to that little classmate of yours?"

 David: "?"

 Adolf says, "Invest in a few lucrative programs, drag your classmate along for the ride, and then he makes a few bucks too. Is that right?"

 David subconsciously said, "Can it still be?"

 Adolf: "... Isn't that what you think?"

 David was a little ashamed to say, "I was just trying to make some money on my own to add to my personal appeal ..."

 Adolf was a little speechless, "So how much do you want?"

 David said, "Give me a billion, I'll test the waters."

 Adolf: "?????"

 He was enraged, "Loser, do you think this billion is easy to earn? And try the water?!"

 Adolf hadn't yelled at him before, this yell scared David back a step, "Dad don't be mad, if a billion won't work then how about five hundred million? It can't be any less, I won't be able to make any money with any less."

 Adolf: "... Five hundred million dollars is enough for you to buy over a couple of functioning medium-sized businesses, okay? How else do you expect to make it?"

 David said aggressively, "Then it's 200 million, don't be so petty, big deal, I'll let you take a stake in it."

 Adolf: "..."

 Exasperated, he took a few more sips of water and casually dismissed his son, rubbing his hair in annoyance when he suddenly lurched and reached up to his eyes to see several strands of hair in his palm.

 Adolf: "..."

 He didn't lose his hair from staying up all night, he lost it from David's anger!

 *

 Two months later, it was already almost fall time, but in this kind of weather in Kyoto, it still seemed a bit hot.

 Not only is it hot, it's dry.

 Nada and David did not major in the same college, a little far away. And the first year students have to live on campus, David has not lived in the dormitory, this is also very uncomfortable, but because Nada is there, he found a way to change the dormitory room to Nada's dormitory room, suddenly feel dormitory life is not so boring.

 But also really tired.

 Nada wasn't wrong when she said that instead of being more relaxed when they got to college, they had to study all the time, because there were plenty of academics who were smarter than them.

 Thus, taking up a seat in the library has become another necessity.

 David feels less manly at times like this because he can't get up because he's too worked up.

 Nada indulged in this by getting up early, buying David breakfast, putting it in a tiffin box and warming it with hot water, and going to the library to study, stopping by to take his seat so that David could get an extra two hours of sleep.

 Study over, David walked out of the library after Nada with his head hanging down, "So tired and bleary eyed."

 Nada twisted his head to look at him and saw his sleepy look, inexplicably he wanted to reach out and touch his head, and with that thought he actually stretched his arm out and went to touch David's hair, which wasn't much softer than it should be, it was a little coarse and hard, but it was also of a good texture.

 Nice touch too.

 David looked at him with wide eyes and hesitated, lowering his head slightly to make it easier for him to touch it, his eyes fell on Nada's legs, noticing that his pant legs were shorter, revealing his white and delicate ankles, hesitating for a moment, he asked, "... Have you grown taller? "

 Nada said, "Maybe."

 David said excitedly, "You seem really tall! Let's go and get measured."

 David dragged Nada to the school's automated height meter, swiped his meal card and had Nada go up to be measured, and the display on it read 179.5.

 David exclaimed in surprise, "Being almost five centimeters taller! No wonder I don't even have to look at you at a 50°C angle lower."

 Nada's heart was happy too, and he looked at David and said, "You go up and measure too."

 David then stood up as well, showing 188.

 With a noticeable rise and fall in her tone, Nada said, "We've all grown taller."

 David said with vigor, "I can go up to 190, believe it or not."

 Nada said, "Too tall is bad for your heart, and 188 would be very tall and handsome."

 David said seriously, "That won't do, man, only tall, not short! Whoever bullies you in the future, I'll punch one."

 And again, "Do you want to come back to my house for dinner?"

 David's house isn't very far from the school.

 Nada: "Is your dad home?"

 David said, "You're afraid of him, huh?"

 Nada said, "No fear, he's fine."

 David grunted, "I told you, he loves you so much, really thinks of you as his own son."

 Nada looked at him with a smile on her lips and said, "Didn't your dad say he was going to adopt me? How come there's no sign of him?"

 David had almost forgotten about the lie he'd told, and he stammered for a moment before saying, "He doesn't want to again, so who knows what he's thinking."

 Nada stared at him, "You lied to me, didn't you?"

 David said with a straight face, "Why would I lie to you about that?"

 Nada thought about it and smiled slightly, changing the subject, "What were you up to yesterday?"

 David said, "Oh, I went to ask my dad for money again."

 Nada looks at him, "What kind of money?"

 David lowered his voice and said quietly, "I want to buy a plot."

 Nada: "What kind of land is ... buying?"

 David said, "Just a piece of land in the next city over, it's only a hundred million dollars now, but it's going to increase in value a hundred times in the future! "

 Nada: "... You know what you look like now?"

 David's tone weakened, "Like what?"

 Nada: "Like a pyramid scheme, full of success stories."

 David: "..."

 He whispered, "So do you want to take shares, as long as you do, I'll give you 50% of the land! We'll split it in half!"

 Nada said, "No, even for me, you can't just give something so expensive."

 And again, "You're going to buy this land, and your father is willing?"

 David honestly said, "He wouldn't at first, but I kept promising and he gave it to me. In fact, there's no need to wait until ten years from now, five years from now when that land changes hands and is sold, the three hundred million dollars goes straight up to two billion, and ten years from now to ten billion."

 That commercial area, which will be the busiest in the country ten years from now, is situated there, and it's still just an abandoned factory site. Because of the tilted policy, it's all but a sure thing to buy that land now.

 David had a run through the first few months and realized that he had an advantage in other places besides Nada, ah, like knowing what makes money.

 Ask him to run the group and he probably can't do it because he doesn't understand it at all, but he might be able to sway one or two of these general directions.

 David remembered something and asked, "How much money do you have left on hand?"

 Nada said, "A million and forty thousand dollars, what's up?"

 David hemmed and hawed, "Do you believe me or not?"

 Nada looked at him and smiled slightly, saying in a very soft tone, "Of course I believe you."

 David said, "Well, I'll show you how to make money, okay?"

 Nada thought for a moment and said, "What do you have in mind?"

 David said seriously, "Believe it or not, I am a prophet!"

 Nada: "..."

 Nada said, "Don't make a pretense, just tell me."

 David took out his cell phone, pulled up the page, and pointed out a stock to Nada, "You buy some shares of this company and you'll quadruple it at least until next September."

 Nada: "Are you serious?"

 David said, "Of course I'm serious! I've already put half a million dollars into it!"

 Nada: "..."

 As if sensing Nada's hesitation, David looked at him, "What's the matter, you don't believe me?"

 Nada said politely, "I think you're voting too much."

 David scratched his head and said with a bright face, "Throw more, make more!"

 Thinking again, he said carefully, "If you buy and lose, it's on me, is that okay?"

 "..." doesn't have to be so careful.

 I don't know who said something to David that caused David to be overly careful some of the time, and while it's good to watch what you say and do, Nada was a little uncomfortable with it, and preferred the David who said what he had to say, to which he said in a soft tone of voice, "If you say it's okay, then it's okay, and I trust you."

After saying goodbye to speculating together, David's mood was noticeably higher, and he couldn't wait for Nada to make more money right away.

 David thought for a moment and added, "I've also started a live-streaming platform, do you want to take a stake in that too?"

 Nada: "... You've been working on these for the past few months?"

 David said, "Yeah, it's kind of a small fight."

 He still had a bright look on his face as he said such things, his eyes gleaming and even a little smug?

 Nada felt that such a David was also very dazzling, the whole person seemed to be shining, he couldn't help but squint his eyes gently and said softly, "You're still young, don't work too hard."

 David subconsciously said, "Am I small? I'm obviously big!"

 Nada: "?"

 David looked at Nada very seriously and said, "If you're a man, you can't say small!"

 Nada: "..."

 He couldn't help but laugh; David seemed to have a few things on his mind, but a lot of the time he was too decent.

 It's cute in reverse.
