Chapter 105 Skincare Product Sales

Gu Jinghe was tall and slender, wore black-rimmed glasses, and had a casual hairstyle, giving him a weak and unassuming appearance.

Qiao Xiao would drag him along for a morning run every day in an attempt to change his demeanor. A young man under the golden light is always the most touching, but in public, Gu Jinghe always deliberately concealed his appearance.

Qiao Xiao was very satisfied with this. She earnestly said to Gu Jinghe, "Take good care of yourself, especially since you are in a foreign country. It is not as safe as in China. You must be extra careful in dangerous places."

Gu Jinghe nodded obediently and replied softly, "Yes, I understand."

He carried his familiar schoolbag as always, but this time, the sharp-eyed Qiao Xiao noticed something unusual—his schoolbag seemed a little different.

She frowned and asked in confusion, "What happened to your bag?"

As he spoke, he quickly stepped forward to examine it closely.

Sure enough, a long, narrow tear appeared in one corner of the backpack, as if it had been cut by a sharp blade.

Qiao Xiao's face instantly turned gloomy and ugly, her eyes flashing with anger as she demanded sharply, "Who did this?" Her voice was full of authority and left no room for doubt.

Gu Jinghe blinked his clear, innocent blue-green eyes, like those of a Serbian river, and shook his head gently, like an innocent child, replying in a soft, sweet voice, "I don't know."

Seeing this, Qiao Xiao quickly reminded her, "Don't carry this bag anymore, it's broken."

However, Gu Jinghe looked troubled and muttered in a low voice, "But... I don't have any other bags to use."

Qiao Xiao sighed helplessly, thinking that she couldn't let him carry that old bag forever, so she readily said, "In that case, you can use my bag for now. Although the style is a bit simple, it's very practical. I'll go and buy you a new one later."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinghe's face immediately lit up with a bright smile, and he cheerfully replied, "Okay!"

Then, he reached out a hand and carefully took the backpack from Qiao Xiao's hand.

In that instant, Qiao Xiao keenly noticed the stark contrast in their skin tones.

Looking at her slightly dark skin, Qiao Xiao couldn't help but sigh inwardly. However, this was not out of anxiety about her appearance, but simply an objective statement of fact.

At this moment, Gu Jinghe was staring at Qiao Xiao with deep and focused eyes, as if he was pondering something important.

After a moment, he suddenly said softly, "Well... I'll be going now."

Qiao Xiao nodded slightly in agreement: "Mm."

After Gu Jinghe walked away, Qiao Xiao picked up the backpack next to her and felt around for a while. As if waking from a dream, she realized that there seemed to be something hidden in his backpack.

Could it be that she forgot to take the books? Filled with suspicion, she quickly unzipped her backpack. If it was books, she would have to catch up immediately.

However, what came into view was a credit card.

Qiao Xiao: "Did he do this on purpose?"

Losing a credit card can cause a lot of inconvenience, especially at a university that doesn't provide credit cards. Without a credit card, it's difficult to manage daily meals.

Qiao Xiao: So, will he call me again then?

Thinking of this, without delay, Qiao Xiao took a step forward and rushed out of the room.

Just as Qiao Xiao had guessed, Gu Jinghe's evil act was intentional. However, he had many credit cards, and only one of them was left at home.

Nevertheless, Gu Jinghe knew perfectly well that Qiao Xiao would not accept the credit card he offered, given her personality. He was just trying his luck, just in case.

He carefully wrapped Qiao Xiao's bag in his arms and whispered, "Qiao works so hard, I should buy her some skincare products to protect her skin."

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly reached their ears.

Gu Jinghe frowned and sighed helplessly. He didn't need to turn around; he knew who that person was just by observing and guessing.

Sure enough, Qiao Xiao appeared before Gu Jinghe in a short while.

Qiao Xiao secretly sighed that she had really underestimated the other party's speed of movement.

In such a short time, I was able to walk such a long distance. Could it be that my daily morning runs are working?

Qiao Xiao raised her hand to wipe away the fine beads of sweat on her forehead. "Your card is missing."

She said it so eagerly, as if she wanted to get it over with as quickly as possible.

Seeing this, Gu Jinghe quickly took out a clean white tissue from his pocket and carefully extended it to Qiao Xiao, tentatively wiping the sweat that soaked her hair from her forehead.

He said softly, "Why are you in such a hurry? You could have called me first."

His tone was full of doting and tenderness.

However, Qiao Xiao stared at Gu Jinghe with wide eyes and a look of disappointment, replying irritably, "This is abroad! Making phone calls would cost so much money! Absolutely not!"

As she spoke, she quickly handed the credit card she was clutching back to Gu Jinghe.

Unexpectedly, Gu Jinghe did not reach out to take the card. Instead, he pushed it back to Qiao Xiao and explained earnestly, "This card was originally used for my daily expenses. Since my spending is usually quite high, this is also used to make up the difference. You can use it to buy something you like."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiao flew into a rage, stamping her feet in anger. She turned her head away with a furious expression, refusing to even glance at Gu Jinghe again.

He muttered angrily, "Hmph! If that's the case, why didn't you tell me sooner? It's so ridiculous, Gu Jinghe!" Then he stomped away in a huff.

At this moment, Gu Jinghe could only silently gaze at Qiao Xiao's receding figure, a wave of sorrow rising in his heart.

He sighed inwardly and muttered to himself, "I'm sorry, I couldn't understand your thoughts..."

To break through her defenses, a more direct approach is needed, but without a doubt, she will reject you without hesitation.

After all, she didn't have any love for him at all.

Her presence here, and her willingness to stay by his side, stemmed entirely from her kind heart and her compassion for his own plight.

In fact, she was a kind-hearted person with excellent character.

It seems I really need to speed up the process of improving my skills!

After entering his own campus, Gu Jinghe, with his outstanding talent, single-handedly navigated between the school administration and his fellow students, successfully resolving numerous conflicts and disputes.

Many students expressed their approval and admiration for this seemingly aloof, cold, and unapproachable academic star.

Indeed, his outstanding academic achievements are unmatched, and his powerful abilities are beyond doubt.

However, things in this world are often not as one wishes. There are always some eccentric and trouble-making individuals who, like roses with thorns, deliberately seek to provoke trouble.

That troublemaker is known simply as "Puxin Troublemaker".

It must be admitted that this troublemaker from Puxin University is indeed very strong; he was ranked twelfth when he was admitted.

However, what's somewhat frustrating is that he himself has a slightly greasy personality, always having an inflated sense of self-importance, as if the whole world revolves around him.

I am the king of this world, everyone likes me, I possess unparalleled strength, but I love a beauty, the school beauty—Wan Qing!

And so, a very unfortunate thing happened: poor Wang Wanqing became the object of his affections. You see, Wang Wanqing was, after all, a member of high society! What kind of elegant and beautiful women hadn't she seen? It was precisely because of this that she fell for a man like Gu Jinghe.

After all, only someone as wise and intelligent as Gu Jinghe could truly understand what she was thinking and give her enough respect and care.

In comparison, Pu Xin, the troublemaker, seemed rather sleazy. Unlike the hot-tempered guy who tirelessly and relentlessly followed Wang Wanqing, he chose to huddle in a corner, feigning incomprehensibility, and secretly monitoring her every move.

Wang Wanqing was fortunate to come from a prominent family, so some bodyguards were assigned to the vicinity to protect her from the shadows.

As soon as Gu Jinghe stepped into the school gate, a group of followers surrounded him.

They greatly admired Gu Jinghe's heroic actions. One or two of them were dressed in suits and formal attire, holding documents and briefcases, as composed as veterans who had been in the workplace for many years.

They were all very excited. "Gu Jinghe, I have some data here. Can you help me analyze it?"

"The government's recent policies support our entrepreneurship. Would you be interested in collaborating? I've already drafted a contract; would you mind taking a look?"

...

They were a group of enthusiastic and eloquent salesmen, and at this moment they were like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey, staring intently at their common big client, afraid that someone else would snatch him away first.

Although the client looked extremely thin, with thick, shiny golden hair obscuring his eyes, they knew perfectly well that he would one day become a business tycoon.

You have to understand that in a school like this, where profit is the only motive and competition is so fierce it's almost cruel, it's a pipe dream to fight for the rights of students without some real skills!

Everyone was determined to acquire this potential business tycoon.

Gu Jinghe, who was not particularly fond of socializing, did not want to waste his time on such boring social engagements.

He stated bluntly, "If any of you can help me solve a problem, I will agree to cooperate with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, almost everyone present asked in unison, "What difficult problem?"

Gu Jinghe paused for a moment, then slowly expressed his confusion: "I want to choose some skincare products for the lady to reduce the damage to her skin from ultraviolet rays. Which brand should I choose?"

A deathly silence fell over everyone. Suddenly, in this suffocating atmosphere, a voice rang out from deep within the crowd: "My fiancée has been using Xing'erjia products!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man in an elegant blue suit raising his hand high, his face radiating confidence and pride.

As he finished speaking, the previously crowded people seemed to be pushed by an invisible force, slowly making way for him in a narrow passage.

Seeing this, the man immediately seized the opportunity, nimbly squeezed into the small gap, and moved closer to Gu Jinghe step by step.

Finally, he approached Gu Jinghe, bowed slightly, and politely introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. Gu Jinghe. My fiancée is currently using a brand called Xing'erjia, and according to her feedback, the effects are quite good! However, this brand has a wide variety of products, and I really find it difficult to determine which one is most suitable. If you would like to learn more about this, I can go back and ask my fiancée for advice."

After listening, Gu Jinghe nodded thoughtfully and said, "Then, please tell me your contact information."

Upon hearing this, the man in the blue suit was overjoyed and quickly handed the business card he had prepared to Gu Jinghe.

And so, this lucky person became the only one to successfully establish contact with Gu Jinghe, which aroused immense envy and jealousy among the others.

No matter how many people tried to approach Gu Jinghe or promote other products to seek cooperation opportunities, Gu Jinghe always just smiled and waved his hand, politely refusing them.

The man, dressed in an elegant blue suit, excitedly dialed his fiancée's number: "Rosie, I finally received his text message!"

Rossi's ecstatic voice came from the other end of the phone: "That's amazing, Cole! How did you do that? Tell me the details!"

So Coe then recounted the entire incident to Rossi in detail.

After listening, Rossi couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my god, that mysterious Mr. Jinghe must already have someone he likes."

Ke replied as if suddenly realizing something, "Yes, I hadn't considered that at all before, but now that I think about it, it is indeed a possibility. Thank you for reminding me, darling."

Rossi: "Don't mention it. In that case, I'll call my mom right away, and we can get together to celebrate."

Ke replied gently, "Okay, I love you."

Rossi sweetly replied, "I love you too."

Immediately afterward, Rossi dialed her mother's number without hesitation. "Mom, Cole will be visiting tonight, so please don't forget to prepare a lavish dinner."

Nancy readily replied, "Don't worry, my dear daughter."
