This TV drama, it could be said, had gone viral.
Small budget, big returns.
It had done well from its first day online.
Word of mouth naturally spread, leading to a surge in ratings down the line. Later, more than a hundred local and municipal TV stations signed contracts to broadcast it.
Even though the money wasn’t much, the volume made up for it.
In addition, numerous advertisers, seeing the popularity of the drama, approached Wang Xiaoyuan to insert ads into the show.
By the end of the entire broadcast cycle, the net profit was a whopping two hundred and fifty million!
From Jiang Xu’s percentage cut, which was 23%, he made fifty-seven million five hundred thousand.
Then, he still had to pay up to 4-5% in taxes.
After taxes, he had close to twenty-five million nine hundred thousand in his hands.
This income was something Jiang Xu hadn’t expected at all.
And this was just the present situation.
With the drama becoming famous, more TV stations would purchase the rights to broadcast it.
While the price might be a bit lower, it was estimated that he would pocket several tens of millions.
Also, the supporting character Jiang Xu played gained popularity as well.
This resulted in his Weibo followers reaching two hundred sixty thousand.
At this rate, it wouldn’t take long to reach a million followers.
At night, Wang Xiaoyuan called him.
There was an undeniable excitement in her voice, “Finally, a weight is off my chest, thank you.”
Jiang Xu laughed, “Sister, this is all because of your hard work. Have you been resting well recently?”
He genuinely cared about Wang Xiaoyuan.
Wang Xiaoyuan had already demonstrated her abilities to Jiang Xu.
As long as she didn’t make a major mistake, things would get better and better. That way, their partnership could continue, earning Jiang Xu more money. “I know.” Wang Xiaoyuan said lightly, “There’s a celebration banquet on Friday next week, will you come?”
It was Monday.
By next Friday, Jiang Xu would be on winter break.
“Sure, I’ll bring Nuonuo with me, okay?”
“Of course, that’s settled then.”
After ending the call, Jiang Xu switched off his computer and headed to the living room.
Jiang Xu had placed two heaters in the living room.
The temperature was just right, not even chilly with just a long-sleeved shirt on.
At this moment, An Nuonuo, attired in a light pajama, was tidying up the room.
Her perfect silhouette unfolded before Jiang Xu’s eyes.
When outside, she never wore anything revealing.
Only at home would she occasionally don something slightly sexy. No matter how many times he watched, Jiang Xu felt he could never get enough.
His mother was right; Nuonuo was indeed quite a treat.
After she finished tidying up, Jiang Xu took a tissue and gently wiped the shiny sweat off her forehead.
He said softly, “Good job. Here’s a little reward for you.”
“No, urn…”
Hearing Jiang Xu’s words, An Nuonuo knew he was up to no good.
She instinctively refused.
But right after, Jiang Xu gave her the reward anyway.
The girl’s eyes widened in an instant, her mind went blank.
About a minute later, she finally pushed Jiang Xu away and ran upstairs.
Jiang Xu laughed, his mouth curving into a grin.
Perfect.
He didn’t have to brush his teeth tonight.
The closer it got to the holiday, the more assignments there were.
The last week was extremely busy with schoolwork.
Both Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo didn’t have time to write anymore, and had to rely on previously written drafts.
After enduring the last ‘darkest’ week, there was finally a light at the end of the tunnel.
Tomorrow, they were on holiday!
In the final class, the head teacher announced the ranking of this term’s exam results.
Once the results were announced, the entire class was shocked.
First place was still Jiang Xu, the best in the whole grade.
But the second place had now been taken by An Nuonuo.
Moreover, the point difference between her and Jiang Xu was only two. Who could have expected An Nuonuo’s performance to improve so quickly? The class teacher was grinning so wide he looked like a smiling war god. He had thought having a hidden dragon like Jiang Xu in his class was sheer luck.
Who could have thought that by the semester end, An Nuonuo would appear?
All classmates were looking at An Nuonuo with envy and admiration.
She was so embarrassed, she just buried her face into the table.
The improvement in An Nuonuo’s grades also greatly surprised Jiang Xu.
Good heavens.
If he failed to answer a question correctly, would he have to give up his throne as the top student?
Then An Nuonuo would be above him…
He didn’t like having anyone above him.
He seemed to have to study harder next year.
Well.
He would need to spend an extra five minutes studying every day.
The improvement in Fu Yanjie’s grades was also significant.
He ranked twelfth in the class, thirty-fifth in the entire grade.
Zhang Yuanyuan ranked a few places higher than him.
Such was the change Jiang Xu had brought to those around him.
After assigning the winter break homework, the class teacher let everyone leave a period early.
Everyone dispersed at once.
The four-member group, pushing their bikes, left the school.
Fu Yanjie could hardly contain his excitement, “Since I did so well on the final exam, my parents will definitely reward me with a million bucks!
Though they probably won’t give it to me in cash, but in the equivalent value of a house.”
PATTING Jiang Xu’s shoulder, he said, “You call me ‘good brother’, and I’ll treat you and Nuonuo to a big meal.”
“What?” Jiang Xu checked his ears, “How do you know I recently made more than a hundred million?”
A few days ago, the first round of profit-sharing from “Overbearing CEO,
Gentle Love” had been transferred to Jiang Xu’s account.
Plus over eighty million from selling his shares in the Feixiang Network to Xu Kun.
Jiang Xu’s account now had over a hundred million nation.
“What?!”
Both Fu Yanjie and Zhang Yuanyuan looked at Jiang Xu in shock.
He had only shared this with An Nuonuo.
Jiang Xu asked Fu Yanjie in surprise, “No way, no way, does anyone actually
still ask their parents for money? God.”
He did know sarcasm.
Fu Yanjie quickly asked for details.
Jiang Xu didn’t hide anything from a good brother.
After he found out the reason, he suddenly didn’t want to talk to Jiang Xu anymore.
And he secretly made up his mind never to show off in front of Jiang Xu again. Because he simply couldn’t outdo him.
It was winter break, and everyone eased the tension a bit.
Today, they wouldn’t cook at home but eat out.
They found a food stall and ordered clay pot congee.
While waiting for the food, An Nuonuo kept reading a book.
Jiang Xu leaned over for a peek.
Good heavens, she was starting on college-level courses.
Her potentials had been fully stimulated.
Jiang Xu patted her head, “Alright, stop reading, you need to relax a bit, don’t burn your brain out.”
“Okay…” An Nuonuo obediently put away the book.
It was the holiday season, the meals tasted especially great.
After dinner, the four of them went home separately.
Jiang Xu took a detour, laid down in the company, and collected Lin Nan’s annual financial report of the company.
Only when he arrived home did he bring out the report to read.
This sight was a shock, even for Jiang Xu..
