Taking advantage of the beauty being poor, fooling her into being my girlfriend

Chapter 169 - 169: Revive, My Lover

Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Revive, My Lover

Jiang Xu immediately became intensely curious.

What was up with this young girl?

It was the first time he had seen her acting so suspiciously.

She was akin to a little hamster that had stolen some grain from a farmer’s house.

Looking around anxiously, she swiftly walked forward with a black bag in her hand.

Jiang Xu hurriedly followed her.

He stopped when he saw An Nuonuo getting into her car in case she saw him in her rearview mirror.

After watching her drive away, Jiang Xu stroked his chin and started to ponder.

However, he couldn’t figure anything out.

He sent a message to An Nuonuo asking her what she was up to and then went home.

When he got home, An Nuonuo finally replied saying that she had been doing homework at home all along.

This young girl, she actually lied to him.

Well, since she didn’t want to tell him, he might as well pretend he didn’t know.

Then Jiang Xu planned to switch on his computer and do some writing.

But then Lin Nan suddenly called: “Boss, there’s trouble.

All the employees in the company have resigned except for me.”

Jiang Xu’s eyes immediately narrowed.

No need to say, it must have been done by the competitors.

After holding back for so long, they finally couldn’t resist striking hard.

However, just this alone wouldn’t be able to shake the current Nuomimi Novel website.

Sure enough, Lin Nan continued: “In addition to all the employees leaving the company,

our website has also been massively reported.

We were accused of various illegal activities, and many books were charged with having negative influence and poor social orientation.”

Jiang Xu laughed.

It was truly the case of the wicked crying fowl first.

At this moment, web novels were still growing wildly.

Many small websites were filled with sexual depictions, even direct descriptions of various organs.

Even the biggest website at present was filled with similar content.

It would take a few years before they would be severely cracked down on.

From the very beginning, Nuomimi Novel did not lean toward this direction.

The site focused on plot, routines, and massive updates to attract readers.

If one was to look at it that way, theirs was undoubtedly the cleanest and purest website among all at the moment.

The competitors probably couldn’t think of too many other strategies,

and thus resorted to this unskilled small trick.

Lin Nan continued: “Now, relevant staff are already conducting inquiries in our company, and the website is about to be shut down.

This will have a significant impact on us. What should we do now?”

Jiang Xu thought for a moment and said: “It doesn’t matter; let them shut it for a day or two.

We acted uprightly and sit straight. These small tricks won’t bring us down.

Right now, what you need to do are two things.

First, recruit new employees urgently.

Second, find some reliable authors, writers, or ghostwriters for me.”

Originally, Lin Nan was quite worried about the future development of the company.

But hearing Jiang Xu speaking so calmly, she instantly relaxed.

The boss must have a solution, right?

After ending the call, a cold light flashed in Jiang Xu’s eyes.

Fine, fine, fine, I enter a normal business competition with you, but you play those dirty tricks on me, huh?

If that’s the case, don’t blame me for what comes next.

He immediately opened his notebook.

He didn’t need to resort to any petty moves; he could defeat his competitors with a fair and square strength.

“Swallowing Starry Sky,” initiated!

“Mortal Cultivation Biography,” initiated!

“God Emperor of Eternity,” initiated!

“Immemorial,” initiated!

“Dragon Ascending Way,” initiated!

“Soul Land,” initiated!

Revive, my love…

Originally, Jiang Xu did not plan to release these heavyweight novels so soon.

But who could blame him when his competitors lack sportsmanship.

Since that was the case, he had no choice but to play his aces early.

He prepared a total of ten novels.

Keeping a grievance in his heart, Jiang Xu stayed up until after 2 a.m.

He outlined each of these novels, each potentially game-changing in the web literature industry.

Then he sent the outline of the first tenth of these ten novels to Lin Nan.

He instructed her to arrange for writers to start writing.

He planned to follow-up personally.

The next day, the first thing Jiang Xu did after getting up was to open a forum.

Just like he anticipated,

many readers were complaining and inquiring why the website was suddenly inaccessible.

There were also those who were deliberately misguiding by competitors, making a small portion of people believe it as the truth.

Jiang Xu did not offer any explanations.

There was no need to.

He went to school as usual.

After ten o’clock, he received a call from an unknown number.

It happened to be during the break.

Jiang Xu went out to the corridor to answer the call.

The voice on the other end was steady and strong: “Is this Mr. Jiang Xu?

Hello, I am the owner of the Tomato Novels Website, my name is Chen Tian.”

Jiang Xu responded indifferently: “Say, what is it?”

Chen Tian laughed and said: “Mr. Jiang Xu, your website is now blocked, isn’t it?

Although it’s a small site, it does have some quite good works.

It’s such a pity that it fell as such.

I, for one, can’t bear to see this happen.

So, I thought I would buy your company, just name your price.”

This man was indeed a crafty pig in a mask, playing one trick after another.

However, this was also the most common business competition strategy.

First, attack the target, causing its value to plummet.

Then, appear on the scene to buy it for a very low price.

Jiang Xu laughed: “Alright, I’m not asking much, just one billion, and it’s yours.”

To be honest, this price wasn’t really outrageous.

The potential value of the copyrights of the novels on his website was pretty high.

Of course, it hadn’t been fully developed yet.

Wait a few years until these novels gain fame and the market becomes more regularized; their value would surely not be low.

With more than a thousand books on the site, average it out; one book equals one million.

Just getting down the audio and anime copyright is more than enough.

Although some of the books in this are not suitable for adaptation,

but the likes of “Martial Universe,” after its completion, judging by its popularity,

the total copyright fees would be at least 50 million.

If the other party was willing to spend one billion, Jiang Xu really wouldn’t mind selling the entire site.

Worst case scenario, he could open another one.

Even if a non-compete agreement was signed, he could let An Nuonuo do it.

He would be a backstage boss, completely divorced on the surface.

“Ha ha ha!” Hearing this, Chen Tian paused, then he burst out in laughter: “Are you dreaming!”

Jiang Xu simply hung up the phone.

From the guy’s laughter, Jiang Xu could guess that he would never agree to his offer.

If that was the case, there was no need to continue the conversation.

It was merely a waste of time.

He who does not reciprocate is rude.

Jiang Xu also planned to give the other party a heavy blow.
