“Overbearing CEO, Gentle Love,” the results of the premiere had come out.
The provincial television station’s ratings had broken 3.
Simply put, for a rating of three.
Imagine that a billion people were watching television at the same time.
If three hundred million of them were watching the same television series, then the ratings had exceeded three.
Of course, there might be several hundred million people watching television across the nation at the same time, but not all of them have televisions. Typically, several family members would be watching a single television together.
The ratings of those local television stations were around 0.9% at the lowest and 1.2% at the highest.
This drama had the potential to explode in popularity.
After all, it had achieved such results on just the first day.
Jiang Xu sneakily peeked at the information.
Taking advantage of the teacher not paying attention, he replied to Wang
Xiaoyuan, and insisted that she rest well and not ruin her health.
With such ratings on the first day of airing, he was certain that more television stations would seek collaborations later.
Jiang Xu estimated that just the profits from the drama itself might reach thirty to forty million.
This was the benefits he could immediately see.
According to Jiang Xu’s share, it was twenty-three percent.
After tax, at least five million would be in his hands.
Additionally, the actors in the television drama would also gain fame.
When the time comes to do advertisements or shoot other dramas, they would also be able to ask for higher prices.
Jiang Xu guessed that Liu Yue would release “Overbearing CEO Falls in Love with Me” right after this drama ended, to take advantage of its popularity.
After school at noon, An Nuonuo said to Jiang Xu, “Zhou said she’s now in Jiang City and invited me to have dessert tonight, should I go?”
When she asked this, Jiang Xu knew that she actually wanted to go.
She was just worried that Jiang Xu might be upset.
Jiang Xu thought for a while, then admonished, “Go ahead, but stay in the store, don’t go anywhere else with her.
In addition, never eat anything imported that leaves your sight, understood?”
Jiang Xu didn’t want to restrict her too much.
“Alright, I know, thank you.”
When An Nuonuo smiled, her eyes curved like two crescent moons, so cute that it was explosive.
Jiang Xu turned his head away, not looking at her anymore.
In fear of not being able to resist.
Before college, he definitely wouldn’t have dared.
Because then he might have been banned…
That evening, An Nuonuo drove her little car to meet Zhou Qingyue.
Jiang Xu continued to write.
The current length of “School Beauty” was pretty good; the results weren’t bad at all.
The daily income was about two thousand.
Of course, this was because Jiang Xu was the boss and didn’t need to split it with the website.
At its peak in his previous life, this novel had a monthly income exceeding one million.
Now, he hadn’t really started to make an effort.
“Nuonuo, it’s been a while.”
“Hello, Zhou.”
In the dessert shop, as the two girls stood together, they instantly became the center of attention.
One was pure and adorable with sparkling eyes and a radiant smile.
The other was gradually transforming from innocence to allure.
Zhou Qingyue affectionately pulled An Nuonuo to sit down.
“I ordered chocolate cake and two cups of milk tea. Do you need anything else?” “No, I had dinner already.”
“Nuonuo, did Jiang Xu tell you that I had ulterior motives for getting close to you?”
An Nuonuo had not expected Zhou Qingyue to be so direct.
Although she was innocent, she wasn’t stupid and shook her head to say no.
Zhou Qingyue smiled and didn’t continue speaking about it.
Instead, she started chatting about other things.
The common interests of girls were numerous.
Cosmetics, soap operas, which star they liked, and so on.
“Qingyue, what a coincidence to see you here.”
Just as they were chatting, a discordant voice intruded.
It was Cheng Xing.
Zhou Qingyue showed a hint of surprise in her eyes before responding with a smile, “What a coincidence, how come you’re in Jiang City too?”
Cheng Xing thought to himself that he had followed her there.
But instead he said aloud, “Well, since our drama finished shooting, I thought I would come over and visit a friend.”
“I can’t believe we crossed paths here. What a coincidence! Ah…and who might this be?”
He caught sight of An Nuonuo from the corner of his eye.
In that moment, Cheng Xing felt as if his heart had stopped beating.
All his surroundings vanished, time froze.
In his eyes, there was only this exceptionally innocent girl.
Cheng Xing felt like he was falling in love again.
Why did he say again?
Because he had felt this way when he met Zhou Qingyue.
Now, seeing An Nuonuo, the feeling was even stronger.
Zhou Qingyue briefly curved her lips into a faint smile before quickly taming it,
“She’s my high school classmate An Nuonuo – the school beauty.”
Turning to An Nuonuo, she said, “This is Cheng Xing, he’s in a TV crew, and is also a rich second generation.”
An Nuonuo politely nodded at him.
Returning to his senses, Cheng Xing felt as if his heart was melting.
How could there be such an adorable girl in this world?
She was even hundred times cuter than Pikachu.
And… so approachable!
Cheng Xing was completely smitten.
She was even more attractive than Zhou Qingyue.
Suddenly Cheng Xing took out his phone: “Um, excuse me, I need to take this call.”
He then left the shop.
He returned after a while.
His face held traces of annoyance, “My friend had something to do and couldn’t make it. Can I join you guys? I’ll treat.”
“This…” Zhou Qingyue turned to An Nuonuo, “Is it okay?”
“Alright…” An Nuonuo nodded.
She found Cheng Xing’s gaze rather unsettling.
However, for Zhou Qingyue’s sake, she agreed.
Cheng Xing was ecstatic.
He quickly sat down.
In a grand manner, he ordered a heap of food.
As a boy his age, maturity was scarce.
But due to his background, Cheng Xing was more mature than most of his peers.
Yet, his methods to attract girls, were the exact same as any other boy’s.
Bragging and showing off, and telling jokes he thought were funny.
Zhou Qingyue played along, often laughing with her hand covering her mouth. An Nuonuo, though bored, remained polite, and chuckled from time to time. Compared to Jiang Xu, Cheng Xing seemed too childish, she didn’t like him much.
Seeing both girls ‘seemingly happy’, Cheng Xing started to feel elated.
In his mind, he was already picturing a beautiful scene of embracing both girls in the future.
“I’m sorry, it’s getting late. I’ll leave first.”
Keeping in line with Jiang Xu’s instructions, seeing that it was almost half-past nine, An Nuonuo promptly stood up to leave.
Cheng Xing also stood up quickly, “An, let’s add each other as friends. We can visit each other’s spaces.”
An Nuonuo: “I’m sorry, I don’t have QQ.”
Cheng Xing: “What about the phone number?”
An Nuonuo: “My parents don’t allow me to add strangers. Zhou, I’m leaving.”
With that, An Nuonuo swiftly left the shop, not giving Cheng Xing any chance at all.
A touch of mockery curled at the corners of Zhou Qingyue’s mouth, but she quickly hid it.
Cheng Xing watched as An Nuonuo left.
He wanted to catch up with her.
But he remembered that Zhou Qingyue was still beside him.
He couldn’t make it too obvious.
He’s already of age. He didn’t want to choose, he wanted both of them.
Therefore, he scratched his head, laughing, “Don’t misunderstand, Qingyue.” “I wanted her contact info to get to know your interests and hobbies through her.”
“Okay, I understand,” Zhou Qingyue nodded, “It’s getting late, can you give me a ride home?”
Of course, Cheng Xing readily agreed.
Once they got into the car, Zhou Qingyue sent Jiang Xu a message using her spare phone.
She then looked out of the car window, her gaze flickering..
