“Hmm, delicious.”

Jiang Xu was eating like crazy at the table.

A bowl of lamb noodles that he had An Nuonuo buy especially for him, along with an entire pot of black chicken stew.

In the bedroom just now, thanks to An Nuonuo’s selflessness in giving Jiang Xu some time to rest, he was finally rejuvenated.

After having his meal now, he felt recharged.

“Are you done working?” An Nuonuo sat at the side, chin propped up with her hands, asking worriedly.

Over the past month, Jiang Xu had invested much of his energy and had evidently become thinner.

“Yeah, I’ll rest one more day tomorrow, then go back to school the day after.”

A serving of lamb noodles along with half a black chicken went into Jiang Xu’s stomach.

He leaned back in his chair, pat his belly, and look satisfied.

An Nuonuo stood up and walked behind Jiang Xu.

She extended her soft, tiny hands and gently massaged Jiang Xu’s temples.

Jiang Xu closed his eyes, his body once again relaxed.

After a while, Jiang Xu finally asked, “Anything different in the TV market recently?”

In this period, Jiang Xu didn’t have the energy to keep track of things outside. He had been devoted entirely to writing novels, planning to earn as much money as possible.

He had asked An Nuonuo to keep track for him.

“Last Saturday and this Tuesday, ten new dramas similar to ‘Palace Life’ have been released, all doing quite well. But I noticed a lot of them copied from you.”

“Heh, shameless bastards,” Jiang Xu snorted cynically.

But there was nothing he could do.

The laws in this area weren’t yet well-developed in the country.

It was quite hard to win a lawsuit against those who plagiarized here and there.

That’s why he was in such a rush to write while the trend was still ongoing.

First, gather as much traffic as he could.

“But their update speed is slow,” An Nuonuo continued. “Most of them only update one episode a day, occasionally two. I suspect they are filming as they broadcast.”

Jiang Xu nodded. That was very possible.

After An Nuonuo gave Jiang Xu a head massage, she went to tidy up his room.

Jiang Xu called Wang Xiaoyuan, then Liu Yue, one after another.

Asking about their filming progress.

Both sides reported fast progress.

They knew the current boom in traffic was precious and worked around the clock. Several projects were filming simultaneously.

Especially Zhou Qingyue, who was working like crazy.

Handing three novels to Liu Yue, Zhou Qingyue got the leading role in all three dramas.

According to Liu Yue, Zhou Qingyue was only sleeping two to three hours a day now.

Many times, she fell asleep in the midst of shooting.

Before ending the call, Liu Yue mentioned: “Can you persuade her? I’m really afraid she’s going to work herself sick.”

Jiang Xu thought for a while. “Alright, I’ll talk to her.”

Next, he called Zhou Qingyue.

The first time he called, she didn’t answer. After a few minutes, he called again, and this time she picked up.

“What?”

Zhou Qingyue’s voice bore deep exhaustion.

Jiang Xu gave a flat response: “Stop filming and rest for the night. Don’t get yourself killed over my novel.”

“Did my Auntie ask you to persuade me?” Zhou Qingyue casually responded. “No, I’m trending now. I should seize this chance to push out several dramas.”

Jiang Xu replied, “I don’t want to repeat myself.”

“Who are you to me? Why should I listen to you?” Zhou Qingyue suddenly became emotional. Choking with sobs she said, “I too want to succeed. I want to earn more money. I don’t want to move away from you. Can’t you understand?”

During a conversation with Liu Yue, she learned that Jiang Xu’s net worth may have exceeded a billion.

The news was a bombshell to her.

She couldn’t understand how Jiang Xu had achieved such great success in such a short time.

That’s why she was so desperate for fame and working herself to the bone now.

“Nutcase, you can sleep or not as you please.”

Jiang Xu wasn’t going to indulge her.

He scolded her and hung up immediately.

If not for Liu Yue, he wouldn’t even have made the call.

Meanwhile, in the dressing room where Zhou Qingyue was taking a short break, she was looking at the disconnected call screen, gritting her teeth.

Yes, her performance just now was entirely an act. All with the intention to gain Jiang Xu’s sympathy.

Unfortunately, Jiang Xu didn’t buy it and wasted her efforts.

“Bastard, you’re such a dog.” Zhou Qingyue cursed silently.

Then she took a deep breath.

Picked up her purse and rose to her feet.

She told the assistant waiting at the door, “I’m not shooting today. Let’s go back to the hotel and rest.”

With Zhou Qingyue becoming more and more popular, the company had assigned her a working assistant and a residential assistant.

Jiang Xu rested at home for two days, his body was once again at its peak condition.

“Aren’t you afraid of failing your college entrance exam?” As soon as he arrived at school, Fu Yanjie drapes his arm around Jiang Xu’s shoulder.

Jiang Xu put down his backpack, rolled his eyes at him, “Are you afraid of a billionaire failing his college entrance exam?”

Fu Yanjie:”…”

Damn, he had to bring that up.

“By the way, I have a question for you.” Fu Yanjie looks around surreptitiously. Making sure no one was paying attention, he whispered, “Do you know how to appease a girl? Recently, I pissed Yuanyuan off. She hasn’t talked to me in several days.”

Jiang Xu: “To appease a girl, there are 70 ways. One is to apologize, the other 69…”

“Huh?” Fu Yanjie was stunned for a second, then reacted, “Son of a gun, you’re farting verses now. Seriously, you’ve been getting naughtier recently.”

Jiang Xu: “Screw off.”

The bell rang for class to start, and everyone made their way back to their seats.

Jiang Xu returned to his busy study routine.

He spent a whole morning simply reviewing the lessons from the days he took off.

Then he continued to read his programming books.

The school knew that the third year of high school was demanding and that time was of the essence.

So, they arrange the cafeteria to send people to the grade three classrooms right after the third period.

To take lunch orders from each student. After-school, they would deliver the meals.

This saved a lot of lining up time.

It was quite considerate.

This way, Jiang Xu was able to use the lunch break to write a thousand words or so.

Seeing Jiang Xu working so hard, An Nuonuo couldn’t bring herself to just watch.

She said, “How about this, you conduct the research, and I’ll help you write?”

Jiang Xu shook his head, “No need, we still have enough drafts saved for now. After the college entrance exam, I’ll spend some time finishing it.”

Nuomimi Novel was already up and running. As long as there were no issues with the direction, there would be no lack of good works.

So he didn’t plan on writing anymore after that.

He wanted to focus his energy elsewhere.

“Oh, alright.”

An Nuonuo didn’t insist any further.

She silently took over some of the housework, trying her best to give Jiang Xu more time to rest.

After a short nap at lunch, it was once again time for class.

No wonder they called senior year the ‘peak of academic life’.

They were ‘gaining experience’ all day, all week. It would be strange if they didn’t get better.

Finally, night self-study class ended and it was fully dark outside.

Everyone bolted from the classroom as quickly as they could.

After packing her things, An Nuonuo was about to get up when her phone vibrated.

Picking it up to check, her body shook involuntarily..
