Chapter 518: Girl's Friend, Leading the Way (Another 5k chapter, the author is ready to challenge the 30-day burst)
At this time, Lin Hao said again:
"Besides, my situation is different from yours. I know that you are much more talented in aerospace than I am. You are the chief designer of JX and you have proposed a novel creative plan for SK-1."

"You are the future of the institute. You are much more important than me. The institute can leave me, but it can't leave you!"

Then Lin Hao said dejectedly: "After all, I am just an ordinary researcher!"

Although Yu Tu was happy that he was stronger than Lin Hao, he actually felt disappointed because he had lost an opponent and friend who could help each other on the common road.

"Don't worry, I know your family is also in trouble!" Lin Hao patted Yu Tu's shoulder again and said:
"And there are several people in a similar situation as you."

"So, I plan to take out 100 million to cooperate with our institute, specifically to help scientific researchers who have difficulties at home!"

"Hiss~!" Yu Tu took a breath, not because Lin Hao was so close to him, but because it hurt.

Damn, this guy hit too hard. These slaps almost broke his shoulders.

His intuition told him that Lin Hao must have deliberately harmed him, but he had no evidence.

Yu Tu collected his thoughts. Hao had already said so much, what else could he say?

So he stood up and said, "In that case, I won't force you!"

"Go back and report my words. What I just said was not a joke." Lin Hao warned.

He was indeed serious about what he said. One hundred million was nothing to Lin Hao. Based on the current high gold price, one ton of gold from the spy world was worth 4.02 million RMB.

Lin Hao felt it was worth it to spend 100 million to tie Yu Tu firmly to the Aerospace Research Institute.

Moreover, Lin Hao truly admires these researchers who can silently contribute to the prosperity and strength of the motherland, and Yu Tu has also benefited from his profession.

Otherwise, given Lin Hao's character, he wouldn't be so polite to him.

I hope Yu Tu can go back and do scientific research honestly. This guy is indeed a talent, but if he comes out and fools around and gets involved with Qiao Jingjing or Xia Qing~!

Lin Hao couldn't care less.

"Oh, right!" When Yu Tu walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something, paused, and turned back:
"When you have time, take a look at our high school class group. Someone posted a message about you and Qiao Jingjing. Although you have broken up with her, I think you should clarify it. After all, her identity is different now."

"High school class group?" Lin Hao looked puzzled and said, "Do we have such a group? How come I don't know about it? When was it established?"

Yu Tu: “(ˉ▽￣～)Cut~~”

"You were probably too busy dating Qiao Jingjing and Xia Qing to pay attention to these things. I'll add you to the group later!"

Yu Tu's words were meant to mock him for his two-timing behavior.

But Lin Hao expressed his innocence, saying that you have completely misunderstood, things are not at all what you imagined, and he did not do those things at all.

However, Lin Hao still heard a hint of sourness in Yu Tu's words. This guy must be jealous of him.

Well, Yu Tu was indeed quite jealous of Lin Hao. Originally, Yu Tu had always been the top student in the grade, but after Lin Hao transferred to another school, the two of them took turns to be the top student in the grade.

The key point is that Lin Hao can still find free time to fall in love and juggle between two school beauties, which makes people very angry.

But it was also because of this that he worked harder later on, and he was ahead of others from college to entering the research institute.

The only thing that made Yu Tu feel relieved was that this guy finally capsized.

······
After sending Yu Tu away, Lin Hao glanced at Zhai Liang, who was lying on the sofa playing games, and said with disdain, "Yu Tu is gone, why are you still here?"

"I'm not leaving. I'm here to seek refuge with you and cling to your power!" Zhai Liang didn't consider himself an outsider at all.

"Okay, you can live here if you want." After all, they are old classmates, and Lin Hao can't really drive Zhai Liang away. Besides, he and Yu Tu live in the same building, so it doesn't matter who lives there.

"Except for the master bedroom, these guest rooms have not been occupied for a long time. You can clean them yourself first. The quilts and other things are in the closet!" After saying that, Lin Hao returned to the bedroom.

A few minutes later, I received a message from Yu Tu inviting me to the group.

Seeing Lin Hao join the group, several gossipy classmates immediately started tagging Lin Hao.

"Fuck, the other main character is here too!"

"Yu Tu just said Qiao Jingjing never confessed her love to him. @Lin Hao's revelation about Qiao Jingpin pursuing you couldn't be false, right?"

"I think it should be true. Lin Hao and Qiao Jingjing were very close at the beginning. We often saw them together!"

"No, no, why do I often see Lin Hao and Xia Qing together?"

"You are all wrong. As far as I know, the girl who was close to Lin Hao at the time, besides Qiao Jingjing, there was also Xia Qing who was very close to him!"

"Let me tell you something. It's not just these two. There seem to be several other girls. They are the best friends of our high school girls!"

The corners of Lin Hao's mouth twitched a few times. What a mess! It's getting more and more outrageous.

As expected, it takes only one mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of effort to refute it. The authorities should increase their control efforts in this regard!
Seeing the building getting more and more crooked, Lin Hao started to reply in the group:

"They are all just full and bored!"

"Regarding the matter between me and Qiao Jingjing, I admit that I did pursue Qiao Jingjing at the time, but she was a good student who was only focused on studying. How could she have fallen in love too early?"

"It's all nonsense."

"Besides, he is a big star now. We are his classmates after all. If we tell others about it, we will be proud of it. So stop making up rumors!"

“Go away, go away…!”

Lin Hao knew that although Qiao Jingjing was not in this group, she had spies in the group.

The news in the group would soon reach Qiao Jingjing, so he said this on purpose.

Sure enough, just as Lin Hao finished speaking, Qiao Jingjing received a call on the other side. Seeing that it was a call from her best friend, she answered it casually:
"Hey, Pepe, what's up?"

"Let me tell you, our high school class group has also started posting that rumor!"

"Just send it out!" Qiao Jingjing pretended to be indifferent.

"I haven't finished yet!" Pepe's gossip fire was burning, and he said excitedly:

"Just ten minutes ago, Yu Tu came out to clarify, saying that you had never confessed to him and that this post was pure rumor. And then, guess what happened?"

When Qiao Jingjing heard Yu Tu's name, she was stunned for a second or two, but her expression did not change, and there was no ripple in her heart.

He just lazily lay on the sofa and asked casually, "What happened then?"

"Just now, Lin Hao also joined the group!" Qiao Jingjing, who was originally lying on the sofa, sat up straight unconsciously after hearing Lin Hao's name.

With a slightly strange tone, he asked, "What did Lin Hao say?"

Although Qiao Jingjing's tone didn't seem to have changed much, as her best friend, Pepe was the first to notice the difference.

"Tsk tsk, your reaction to hearing Lin Hao's name is quite big!" Pepe asked curiously:

"Tell me the truth, what happened between you two in the beginning? You were so close during that time, like honey and oil. Even I couldn't stand it any more, but you suddenly ignored each other."

We were still high school students at that time. Premature love was a big deal for both parents and the school, so many couples did it in secret.

Therefore, Qiao Jingjing did a good job of keeping the secret, and only Pepe, her best friend, knew about it.

"That's not important. Tell me what he said in the group first!"

"Wait, don't say anything yet!"

Qiao Jingjing was feeling complicated at the moment. She wanted to know what Lin Hao had said, but she was also afraid that Lin Hao would tell others what had happened between them just to show off.

After all, Qiao Jingjing is now a popular first-tier star, and having dated such a star is something worth bragging about.

"Well, you should send me a screenshot of the chat history."

"Hmph~ That guy still has some conscience."

Looking at the screenshots sent by Pepe, Qiao Jingjing nodded with satisfaction at first, but soon her brows furrowed. Is it shameful to have had a relationship with her?

"Why don't you admit it?"

"Could it be that Qiao Jingjing can't do it?"

Although she knew that Lin Hao was helping her, Qiao Jingjing couldn't help but want to find fault with him.

But what's wrong with her finding fault with everything? What's wrong with people being unreasonable?

But after all the pretentious talk, she couldn't help but want to check on Lin Hao's situation. However, she had deleted his contact information at the beginning, and she felt upset again.

So Qiao Jingjing, who was upset, decided to play a few games of King of Glory to vent her emotions.

But this time she learned her lesson and did not use her own big account. Instead, she used another Penguin account that she had not used for many years, to ensure that no one knew it was her.

By the way, this Penguin account was the one she used to pursue Yu Tu back then. But later, because of the appearance of Lin Hao, she never used this account again.

Soon, I logged into Honor with this account, named it "Picking Cotton with Hands" and logged in.

I originally wanted to start picking stars, but unfortunately it showed that it had been registered by someone else.

Less than five seconds after she climbed up, someone pulled her. Looking at the familiar name, she immediately knew that the person was Yu Tu.

"It was Yu Tu who was pulling me?"

Qiao Jingjing was stunned for a moment, then her eyes rolled and she said angrily:
"Hehe~, if you hadn't rejected me back then, I wouldn't have met Lin Hao. Now it's not too much to trick you a few times, right?"

Thinking of this, Qiao Jingjing happily clicked to accept.

Very panicked: "Yu Tu, did you pull this? How come there is not even a rank?"

Jade Rabbit Pounding Medicine: "Lin Hao doesn't want to play, so I just randomly dragged one on Penguin Friends."

I was so panicked: "You are responsible for what you did."

Slime Bag: "Stop talking nonsense and open it quickly."

"Lin Hao? Why is it Lin Hao again~!" Qiao Jingjing scratched her hair. What was going on today? Why did she hear Lin Hao's name all day long?

It's like a curse, always appearing in front of her?
When Aguo was demonstrating to her at first, the person he invited was Lin Hao. Now she wanted to play a few games to relax, and Lin Hao's name appeared.

"Wait, why is Yu Tu still in contact with Lin Hao?"

As far as Qiao Jingjing knows, the relationship between these two people was not good when they were in school. During the one year they were classmates, the number of times they spoke to each other did not exceed ten sentences in total.

And judging from their tone, it seemed very familiar. At this moment, Qiao Jingjing's curiosity increased exponentially.

However, Qiao Jingjing was already worried to begin with, and now her mind was elsewhere, making her even more worried after this distraction.

So panicked: "(╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻, Cai Wenji!!!!"

The anger overflowing from the phone screen made Qiao Jingjing panic, so she typed quickly.

Pickable Cotton: Sorry, I'm not very good at playing!
Very panicked: "Turn on the voice chat and follow my instructions!"

Qiao Jingjing obediently clicked on the voice call, but she was afraid that Yu Tu would recognize her, so she just listened and didn't say anything.

As soon as I turned on the voice chat, I heard Hao panicking and complaining:

"I finally understand why Yu Tu, a perennial archer, is willing to give up the archer position this time. Cai Wenji is so smart~!"

"Ouch!" At this point, he suddenly screamed in panic:
"Well, I suddenly have a stomachache. Lin Hao, come out and finish this game for me. I'm going to the bathroom~!"

Slime Bag: "Zhai Liang, you're not trying to escape by shitting, are you?"

I was so panicked: "I really have a stomachache. Maybe I ate something unclean at night. Lao Lin, come and help me quickly!"

"What's wrong?" After Zhai Liang's repeated calls, Lin Hao reluctantly walked out of the room.

"Hurry, play a game for me, I have to go to the bathroom!" Zhai Liang stuffed the phone into Lin Hao's hand without saying a word, and then ran to the bathroom at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

Even in this situation, he did not forget to remind:
"Pay attention for a moment, this cotton is simply a sinkhole."

Qiao Jingjing: “╮(╯▽╰)╭”

You are the cesspool, your whole family is a cesspool.

Lin Hao picked up Zhai Liang's phone, looked at the screen, and saw that "picking cotton with your hands" was indeed on the list.

It was worth it that I used the illusion to trick Zhai Liang. When I heard Zhai Liang's complaints just now, Lin Hao knew that it must be Qiao Jingjing who came online, so he used the illusion skills to trick Zhai Liang into having diarrhea.

I can't blame Lin Hao for betraying his brother, and I can't take him in for nothing. Brothers must stand by me at the critical moment.

However, he didn't expect Yu Tu to be there too. Since he interfered before, Yu Tu didn't take a vacation. So he should be busy with JX now. How could he have time to play games?
This is why Lin Hao wants to contact Qiao Jingjing through Aguo.

"Yu Tu, why don't you go back and do your research instead of playing games?" Lin Hao said:
"By the way, has your SK-1 plan been approved?"

"The plan was rejected and I'm in a bad mood. Can't I play a few games to relax?" Yu Tu said lightly.

"Okay, I'm just afraid that you will be even more depressed after playing a few games." Lin Hao said with a smile.

"These two people?" Qiao Jingjing's brows were almost wrinkled into a "川" shape when she heard the conversation between Lin Hao and Yu Tu:
"When did these two get along so well?"

Dragon King 3: "Okay, stop arguing, and quickly push the tower!"

This game ended quickly, and at this time Lin Hao said:
"Wait, I'll change my number."

He didn’t want to use Zhai Liang’s number. If he used Zhai Liang’s number, how would Qiao Jingjing add him after the fact?

"Can you pick the stars with your hands?"

After seeing Lin Hao's ID and profile picture, Qiao Jingjing's mouth corners unconsciously raised slightly, and she murmured to herself:
"This guy is still using this online name after all these years!"

Thinking back, it was she who came up with this online name for Lin Hao.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is Lin Hao’s profile picture, which is still the photo taken before they broke up.

“Could it be~!” Qiao Jingjing felt something strange in her heart. She bit her lip and thought, “Could it be that this guy is still thinking about me?”

"Mianhua, just follow me for a while!" Lin Hao instructed Qiao Jingjing as a new game began.

"Yeah, I know!" Qiao Jingjing said subconsciously.

When Qiao Jingjing spoke, her lovely voice immediately shocked the two perverts, Slime Bag and Dragon King 3.

"female?"

"Sister?"

As soon as I heard the girl's voice, I immediately perked up.

Qiao Jingjing: “┗|｀O′|┛Ah~~”

"Isn't it possible that Lin Hao recognizes his own voice?" Qiao Jingjing was both expectant and worried.

"That's enough, you two. Haven't you ever seen a woman? You act like a fool when you meet a woman. Aren't you ashamed?" Lin Hao scolded, then changed to a gentle tone and said to Qiao Jingjing:
"Sister, just follow me and I will take you flying~!"

Slime Bag: "(°ー°〃)?"

Dragon King: "o(一︿一+)o"

"Lin Hao, your avatar~?" Others may not know, but Yu Tu knows that Lin Hao's previous avatar was not this.

"Stop talking nonsense and start." However, Lin Hao did not give him a chance to ask questions and interrupted, "Today, I will let you see what it means to be a Glory King!"

"Doublekill~~"

"Triplekill~~"

"Quadrakill~~"

"Pentakill~~"

"Oh my god, another five consecutive ultimates. Lin Hao, you must be cheating. How come you suddenly become so powerful?"

"Old Lin is awesome!"

"Keep going, open the next one!"

"Basic operation, no six!" Lin Hao said lightly.

Then they played for a few more hours, and before they knew it, it was already early morning.

"I don't want to play anymore. I don't want to play anymore. Even though I won every round, you and Lao Yu took all the kills. I don't have any gaming experience at all!"

Although he complained, his excited tone couldn't deceive anyone, and then Slime Bag and Dragon King went offline one after another.

It seemed that only Yu Tu, Lin Hao and Qiao Jingjing were left in the team.

Lin Hao said: "Yu Tu, how about we have a one-on-one duel!"

"Forget it, it's so late, and I have things to do at the office tomorrow, so I won't play tonight!" After saying that, Yu Tu logged off directly.

In the blink of an eye, all the light bulbs left, leaving only Qiao Jingjing and Lin Hao.

Qiao Jingjing said pitifully, "Master, please take me with you!"
