บท 8: Girlfriend
"Well I do have a few in fact. First, I need to close the deals for books with the publishers, have a news conference to publicize etc. Second, will be buying some businesses around here. The assigned to me is to create a business group. Teacher and her last generation students will help.
I might get involved with the film industry as a Scriptwriter. Produce some Martial Arts related film to popularize Martial Arts. May play one of the lead roles as well. You might see my face in advertisements and newspapers . I will also need a cover job to hide." J B described his plans briefly.
Their dinner was almost as the end so they ordered dessert and continued the conversation.
J B said, "Then a couple of days later I have to go back to my hometown and meet my parents. They still think that I am living like a poor beggar. Moreover my mom is acting too desperate.
She not only wants me to get married she also wants to see the face of her 'grandson' soon. So she has been pestering her friends to arrange blind dates for me. I am not sure if she has told you about this."
He continued after a pause, "The ironic thing is, my mom has always liked you and has wanted to be her daughter-in-law but in her eyes now you are top University Student and I am a high school dropout with menial or no jobs. So she thinks we are not a good match and such a marriage even if it is possible will not be successful." He then looked at Wanrui and studied her reaction.
Wanrui said, "I did hear her a few times talk about arranging dates for you..."
"And do you know who are the girls?" J B asked.
"No"
"Hahaha. I know. There are two girls. One of them is a previous classmate of mine. She is already pregnant and wants someone to hide that fact. Its a sham marriage. The other one is no good either. Seeing that I have no job, they want to marry me, provide me with some decent home and money so that they are free to do whatever they want. Really shameless people."
He then continued, "Say cousin, do you really want me to go on dates with such people?"
Wanrui felt awkward because she was going to tell him about the date. She finally said, "Obviously not."
"So I have to go back and at least tell me that I am not a pathetic loser, that they think of me. I will at least tell them that I am an author. As for teacher's matter, can't tell them yet".
At this point Shuyuan said, "So our cousin is a Big Man. I will call you Big Cousin from now."
"Suit yourself." J B responded casually.
"Say you mentioned Wanrui being your first crush, your teacher being protecting her and her family. You also talked about your mother wanting her as daughter-in-law. So are you serious about her? Are you serious about marriage?"
"Of course. Even teacher approves of her. Also, why did I go through such a hellish life if I can't even pursue my first crush. If she agrees, I will definitely marry her, but I don't think that's possible until she completes her education and I establish my group of companies, which is also a task assigned by the teacher.
So if Wanrui agrees we can start with a few dates. Being a couple, sounds nice. Due to my teacher I never had a girlfriend you see." J B suggested.
Shuyuan: "Really not even one?"
Jiang Bai looked at Wanrui instead and said, "Obviously. Since teacher took me away, I had no chance with Wanrui. As for others, do you really think my teacher will give me time for such things? And in case such a thing happened, Wanrui and her parents would have been taken off the protection list.
Speaking of which Wanrui, be careful of the second gen son of Zhang family. I think his full name is Zhang Tianang. Shuyuan should have heard about how he has already ruined a couple of girls. He has been plotting on taking advantage of you. Try to stay away from him for the next 10 days."
Then he turned to Shuyuan and said, "Keep her company for next 10 days. By that that I would have acquired two major business and will use that to make a deal with his father. His father is an underworld boss with a gang of about 200 criminals. Some of them are suspected of serious crimes like murder, rape etc. But you don't need to worry about it.
Since I am here. Just keep away for 10 days, I will handle the rest. He won't do anything in the immediate future. I will sponsor him to study abroad in the best University in Country A. This was the problem will be solved."
Shuyuan: "No wonder he has been a bit more aggressive in his pursuit."
He then looked at Wanrui and said "Hey Wanrui, I have a request."
Wanrui: "What request?"
Jiang Bai smiled and said, "Its nothing big. I need you to find help me get the post of the Librarian in the University. I know you have already been speaking to someone to arrange it for me."
Wanrui: "You even know that?"
Jiang Bai: "Of course I do. Teacher's information network is strong."
Shuyuan: "Why do you need that job?"
Jiang Bai: "Well there are a few reasons. First, like I said, it is a cover job. Second, for an author, library is the best place to be. I can read so many books which will increase my knowledge and perhaps help me get a few more ideas for other books. And most important of all, I can meet Wanrui almost everyday."
Shuyuan: "So you are serious about her?"
Jiang Bai, "Haven't I said it clearly? Of course I am. And this way I will be able to protect her too."
Shuyuan: "Ok, I approve. But you must not let get her hurt."
Jiang Bai couldn't even reply since Wanrui raised her voice "Shuyuan, what the hell are you saying? I don't like this hooligan at all."
Shuyuan: "Well if that's the case, then you don't mind me dating him? Big Cousin is Smart, handsome and rich. Plus he has a powerful background. Say Wanrui, if you are not interested, I am free to date him, right?"
Wanrui: "..."
Jiang Bai: "This silly girl. If you are too shy there is no need to say anything now. Let the relationship develop naturally. I have made my stance clear from the beginning anyway."
Wanrui: "I don't trust you. You are a liar!"
Jiang Bai: "What did I lie about?"
Wanrui: " Didn't you say you never had a girlfriend. Then what about Ni Ni?"
Jiang Bai was shocked for a moment and then quickly recovered.
"Silly girl. It's not what you think. Remember, I told you that I had to pretend to be dumb? Nobody knew except my teacher. The School teacher on the other hand felt responsible and since Ni Ni had good grades assigned her as my bench-mate and asked her to help me out with my studies.
That girl was quite sincere and tried her best to help. I felt guilty, since there was no need for her to do that. Because of that, I took care of her and teacher her a bit affectionately like one would treat a sister. This was misunderstood by many."
He sighed and continued, "In any case, you don't need to worry about her. That gentle girl turned bad, started chasing after money and power and finally married Han Nui."
Wanrui: "Why do you know so much about her?"
Jiang Bai: "Well, like I said, I felt both grateful and guilty for her. There are a couple of few other people like her. I get a report once every 6 months. If they are in dire situation, they will be helped by teacher's network. So far we didn't need to help any of them."
Wanrui: "Ok I believe you."
Jiang Bai then asked confidently, "Then will you be my girlfriend?"
Wanrui: "That..."
Shuyuan interjected, "Hey Big Cousin! Don't pressure her suddenly. Like you yourself said earlier. Start slowly. Go on a couple of dates a week. Let nature take it's course."
Jiang Bai: "I didn't mean to pressure her. Just wanted to tease and observe her reaction. I hope dinner was satisfactory. We should go back now."
He then paid the bill. Xu Jie was waiting for them at the parking lot. He then dropped them off at the Tiandu University.
Jiang Bai: "You have been waiting here the whole time. You didn't have dinner right, Xu Jie?"
Xu Jie: "Its fine, I can eat later."
Jiang Bai: "I knew you wouldn't have eaten so I asked them to pack a few things for you. Its in the bag. You can have it after dropping me off. By the way when is meeting set?"
Xu Jie: "As you requested, its scheduled a bit early at 9AM"
Jiang Bai, "Then pick me up at 8AM. It shouldn't take more travel time that, would it?"
Xu Jie: "Na, its fine. We might even get there a few minutes early."
Jiang Bai then reached his apartment and went straight to bed.
