Fu Yanjie’s eyes lit up, immediately urging, “Hurry up and tell me!”
Jiang Xu launched into his explanation, “You just need to remember seven rules.
First, women are naturally drawn to strength, they don’t love the meek.
Second, control the number of words when chatting, and don’t always ask questions.
Third, being humorous and witty is the most appealing, serious blockheads have no chance.
Fourth, if she wants to chat then chat, if she doesn’t want to, don’t bother her. Being overly persistent devalues you, not caring is the way.
Fifth, warm up when the passion starts to fade, and cool down when it gets too hot. Speak more when trying to warm up, reply less when cooling down.
Sixth, think before you send a message, don’t overthink after you’ve sent it, and just keep yourself busy with gaming or working out.
Seventh, take the initiative and don’t be passive, offense and defense are interchangeable.
The one who is passive ends up being a pushover, only when you take the initiative can you gain the upper hand.”
This long tongue twister had Fu Yanjie totally confused.
Once he managed to process it all, he let out a strange cry.
He quickly ran back into the classroom, brought back paper and pen, and asked Jiang Xu to recite it again.
Jiang Xu repeated it all.
After writing it all down, the more Fu Yanjie looked at these seven rules, the more amazing he thought they were.
He couldn’t help but give a thumbs up to Jiang Xu, “So it seems, you pursued An Nuonuo with these methods?”
“No, no, no,” Jiang Xu shook his head, “There’s no need to go through so much trouble, my face alone is enough.
Oh, right, you’re pretty average looking, so you probably can’t relate.
Sorry, I hope I didn’t hurt your feelings.”
Fu Yanjie gritted his teeth, “Damn it, I really want to kill you.”
Jiang Xu chuckled, “Try again with the methods I’ve taught you.
But remember, don’t spend too much money on her anymore.
No more buying gifts, flowers, and stuff.
It’s fine if you pay for meals, but keep it between fifty to a hundred yuan.”
“Got it, got it, I’ve got an idea.” Fu Yanjie said nonchalantly.
Jiang Xu shook his head.
Seeing him like this, he knew that Fu Yanjie did not take his advice to heart.
He’s probably going to take a big hit.
But Jiang Xu didn’t have the intention to stop him either.
Many things can’t change no matter how much someone else tells you.
Only when you experience it yourself will you understand what it means to be unforgettable.
The bell rang for class.
Jiang Xu returned to his seat.
He didn’t pay much attention to the teacher’s lecture.
Instead, he was thinking about how to gather the remaining money.
If he mortgaged the three properties under his name, he could roughly get three to four million from the bank.
In this way, there would still be a gap of about six million.
How could he earn this money?
Stock investment and such, Jiang Xu had not researched much in his previous life.
The only stocks he knew that could generate a lot of money were Tencent, Maotai, and BYD.
However, it was not the time to buy yet, he would have to wait for a few more years.
As for lottery, sports lottery and so on, he couldn’t remember any more.
If all else failed…
Jiang Xu had a bold idea.
Steal his parents’ property deeds.
Two houses.
The one they used to live in, and the one they bought not long ago.
Combined, he could possibly get a loan of about four to five million.
With that, the funds would be almost complete.
Of course, that came with a big risk.
That was, the possibility of being strung up by Jiang Shan and Chen Yue, and being beaten for three days and three nights.
Thinking about that scenario, Jiang Xu couldn’t help but shiver.
Forget it, better not to do this yet.
He would only resort to this strategy when he had no other options left.
Upon dismissal in the afternoon, Fu Yanjie was the first to rush out.
I bet, he went to see that woman.
Ha! There won’t be a good ending for an obsequious man.
Jiang Xu received a text from Zhang Xiaohui.
A reminder not to forget the agreement between them, or he would be in an unsightly situation.
It wasn’t only him, but his family would also be implicated.
Jiang Xu replied, asking her not to worry.
Jiang Xu was more eager than her to fulfill the agreement between them.
After all, the building was still there, even though nothing had changed.
In about five or six years, its value would have increased at least twentyfold.
That would be worth four to five billion yuan.
By then, even if Jiang Xu didn’t work or start a business,
he could indulge in a comfortable life at home.
Today, it was Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo’s turn on duty.
When they finished cleaning the classroom, there were hardly anyone left at school.
The sun set.
The afterglow of the setting sun cast tranquility and beauty on them.
The two of them walked out of the school, pushing their bicycles.
Jiang Xu said to the girl beside him, “Do you want to go check out our secret base?”
“Sure.”
The construction had started yesterday.
When they arrived at the secret base, workers were still on site.
Scaffolds had been erected outside.
Half of the light-colored tiles had been installed on the walls.
At this rate, they expected it to be completed in two days.
The two courteously greeted the workers.
Then they went inside to look around.
All the weeds in the front and back yards had been cleared.
The ceilings of the two floors were being worked on simultaneously.
Some workers were waterproofing the washroom.
After taking a look, Jiang Xu was quite happy.
The workers were diligent and meticulous.
At this rate,
the work might be completed in a month.
The overall design style was minimalist.
And with ten workers on site,
the work couldn’t be delayed even if they wanted to.
Expectation gleamed in An Nuonuo’s eyes.
She could already imagine how it would feel to live there once it was fully furnished.
Jiang Xu was also full of anticipation.
Once the place was neat and tidy, he could legitimately invite An Nuonuo to move in.
After all, half of the house was hers.
There was no excuse for her to decline.
By then, he on the first floor and she on the second, they could see each other every day.
Wouldn’t that be the envy of countless singles?
After a long while, the two finally left.
On the way home, An Nuonuo enthusiastically discussed with Jiang Xu.
“I’ll cover the cost for furniture and appliances at home.”
She was quite wealthy now.
She probably had about one million yuan.
Most importantly, she wanted to save as much money for Jiang Xu as possible.
In her mind, setting up a business required a lot of money.
Jiang Xu laughed, “I didn’t know you cared so much about me.
You’re such a caring woman even before marrying into my family.”
The girl didn’t blush as usual but said earnestly, “You’ve always been good to me. I should do more for you too.
It can’t always be just you making the sacrifices, right?”
This was what they call reciprocated dedication.
And not like Fu Yanjie, who only knew how to give unconditionally.
Moved, Jiang Xu stopped.
He steadied his bicycle with his leg.
Opened his arms: “Come, let me give you a love hug.”
