“Nuonuo’s book has its strengths and weaknesses. After discussing with my team, we’re offering nine hundred thousand, before taxes. What do you think?” Jiang Xu was interested.
The price met his expectations.
He didn’t haggle, instead immediately agreeing: “Alright, let’s do that.
Tomorrow, I’ll send someone to sign the contract with Sister Xiaoyuan.”
After hanging up, Jiang Xu went to the door of An Nuonuo’s room and knocked.
The door was quickly opened.
An Nuonuo had just taken a bath, her hair damp.
Unexpectedly, a line of poetry came to Jiang Xu’s mind.
‘The warm springs leave a lingering fragrance, a lotus emerging from the water glows red.’
“What’s up, Brother Jiang?” An Nuonuo asked in a sweet, clear voice.
Jiang Xu observed a phenomenon.
Every time An Nuonuo finished bathing, her voice would become exceptionally gentle.
Her speech was soft and delicate to begin with, but after a bath, it was scaled down even further.
If she even slightly knew how to flirt.
Jiang Xu estimated that her voice alone would require pixelation…
Retracing his thoughts.
Jiang Xu chuckled: “Xiaoyuan’s company bought the rights to your book, nine hundred thousand before tax.”
“Ah, really?” An Nuonuo asked with immense surprise.
She was not a greedy person.
This price was beyond her expectations.
Not to mention the money, selling the rights to a book alone was a joyous event for any author.
“Of course, it’s true.” Jiang Xu nodded, rambling nonsensically: “You have no idea how hard I worked to sell your copyright.
I was completely consumed, coping with endless tasks, not eating well or sleeping enough.
So, how do you plan to thank me?”
Finishing, he looked at An Nuonuo with anticipation.
“Thank you…”
“Mwah…”
An Nuonuo leaned in and kissed Jiang Xu’s cheek.
Then swiftly shut the door.
Jiang Xu was stunned.
Then he broke into a broad grin.
Touched the place where An Nuonuo had just kissed.
It seemed like there was a lingering warmth.
Then Jiang Xu knocked on the door: “An Nuonuo, who allowed you to kiss me.
Come out and let me return the favor.”
An Nuonuo:
Look at that, acting coy after taking advantage, that’s it.
Inside the room, An Nuonuo was taking deep breaths, continuously.
Calming her excited emotions.
She had made an outrageous decision tonight…
Hearing Jiang Xu’s words from outside, An Nuonuo couldn’t help but pull a face.
So outrageous, after getting what he wants.
Hmph, ignore him.
It took quite a while for An Nuonuo to calm her emotions.
Sitting in front of her desk, she picked up a basic coding book.
Reading while taking notes.
She knew Jiang Xu planned to major in computer science in the university.
So, she decided to apply for the same major as well.
Always be with Jiang Xu.
Being classmates in high school, being classmates in university as well, the thought made her very happy.
“When he finds out in the future, he will be very surprised.”
Thinking of this, An Nuonuo’s mouth lifted into a slight smile, and her bright, jade-like toes curled reflexively.
The next day, Jiang Xu was woken up by the sound of firecrackers.
There was no need to check, definitely some children setting off firecrackers.
Jiang Xu recalled that when he was young, he looked forward to Chinese New Year the most.
He could buy all kinds of firecrackers.
Blasting fish, burning cow dung.
Chinese New Year was in two days.
The first thing he did after waking up was to check the backend data of the “Martial Universe” web game.
The combination of news and a beautiful spokeswoman certainly had quite an effect.
“Hmm, the growth rate is good.”
Jiang Xu nodded in satisfaction after seeing the data.
At around two in the morning yesterday, the number of online users peaked at more than five thousand two hundred.
Additional deposit amounts totaled eight hundred and sixty thousand.
Even if the growth did not continue in the future, as long as he retained the players who were currently depositing money, it would be enough for Jiang Xu to profit from.
The new version of the game had also been launched.
Moreover, the New Year was just around the corner.
A large number of players would receive hefty New Year’s money.
As a man with a sense of social responsibility, Jiang Xu felt it necessary to help these youngsters safeguard their New Year’s money.
After he finished washing up, An Nuonuo had already prepared breakfast.
After breakfast, Jiang Xu left.
Today he needed to withdraw some cash to give his employees red packets.
This was an ongoing tradition in Guangyue.
Red packets would be given to those who worked overtime during the New Year.
On the first day of work, a red packet would be given as well.
During the New Year’s period, all major banks would be filled with people queuing for withdrawals.
Jiang Xu, too lazy to wait, took several bank cards and withdrew tens of thousands from ATMs.
He also bought a few packs of red packets from a roadside shop.
Each red packet contained two hundred, and there was money left over.
Upon arriving at the company…
“Why are you here?” Lin Nan asked curiously, “You haven’t come to the company for a long time.”
Jiang Xu handed her the bag in his hand and smiled, “Sister Lin, please help me distribute these red packets. One for each person.”
“Oh, there are red packets.” Lin Nan smiled happily.
Jiang Xu asked, “When will Sister Lin leave?”
She was going home for the New Year.
“Tomorrow afternoon, it won’t take long by plane anyway.”
“Well, I wish Sister Lin a smooth journey.”
Jiang Xu didn’t stay long, and quickly went home.
He had many things to do.
Aside from writing, watching the web game from time to time, and continuing to learn programming,
He had long stopped watching teacher’s study videos from various countries, a hobby he used to share with Fu Yanjie.
When he returned home, he saw that An Nuonuo had changed into a new set of clothes.
She was wearing light pink trousers with white lace edges on the legs, which looked cute and sweet.
A pair of jade feet were wrapped in pink little boots.
The pompom laces of the boots were like two small snowflakes, cute and playful.
Her upper body was clad in a white slim-fit down jacket.
The whole person looked like a pink penguin.
Cute and pinchable.
“Are you going out?” Jiang Xu asked.
“Hmm.” An Nuonuo nodded, “My father contacted me.”
A thought crossed Jiang Xu’s mind: “He might want to give you your New Year’s gift money in advance. Don’t be polite,
This money will form the material basis for our life after marriage.”
“Stop it, you’re teasing me again. I’m ignoring you.”
The young girl gave Jiang Xu a faint roll of her eyes and left with her little bag.
Jiang Xu, grinning, watched An Nuonuo’s retreating figure.
Although she was quite wealthy now, she was not wasteful at all.
It was New Year, and she didn’t buy new clothes, but kept wearing old ones.
The bag she carried was also one of those thirty or forty yuan ones.
According to her, as long as things are usable and beautiful, there’s no need to buy expensive ones.
For such a good girl, Jiang Xu was determined to reward her in the future.
Once she graduated, he needed to at least reward her with a few hundred million a week…
Meanwhile,
An Nuonuo had arrived at the private dining room in the restaurant where she was due to meet An Feng.
Seeing his daughter, An Feng, overcome with emotion, tried to hug her, but she evaded him.
A flicker of disappointment appeared in An Feng’s eyes.
However, he did not show it and smiled, “My dear daughter, I have a special gift for you today….”
