Jiang Xu followed the voice and looked over.
He saw a very mature, enchanting woman.
Dressed in a black dress, revealing slender legs.
Her hair brushed her shoulders, and her slightly bent waistline outlined a perfect curve.
She had a very sophisticated face, fair skin, and her eyes exuded a subtle elegant aura.
“Sister Bai, what a coincidence,” Jiang Xu greeted with a smile, “I didn’t expect to run into you here.”
The thoroughly mature woman in front of him was Bai Yujie, with whom he had previous dealings during the demolition in Jiang City.
She was also the future queen of real estate.
At her peak, her personal fortune reached tens of billions.
“Hello, sister,” An Nuonuo also spoke up to call out to her.
“You two are quite famous now,” Bai Yujie said warmly.
Everyone wanted to make connections with young people with potential like
Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo.
“Is Sister Bai on a business trip?” Jiang Xu asked.
“Hmm, I’m going to Harbin to discuss a project. What do you think, are you interested in investing? We’re currently short on funds.”
“What project it is?”
“Well, it’s a large international hotel. I’m thinking about giving it a go, see if we can hit six stars.”
Jiang Xu’s expression flickered slightly.
Bai Yujie sure had big ambitions.
She actually wanted to build a six-star hotel.
Though it would be very difficult.
But if successful, it could become a symbol for the group.
“Hmm, then please, Sister Bai, tell me more.”
Bai Yujie immediately began to explain.
In five or six minutes, she laid out the entire project clearly.
In general, Bai Yujie was still short of five hundred million.
If Jiang Xu was willing to invest, he could get a 25% share.
Jiang Xu was somewhat tempted, but didn’t immediately agree.
Instead, he said he wanted to send someone to evaluate it first.
After all, five hundred million was not a small sum.
Bai Yujie nodded, understandingly.
“By the way, Sister Bai, I still don’t know where you’re from.”
“Me? I’m a local from Magic City.”
“Hmm?” Jiang Xu turned his head to exchange a glance with An Nuonuo.
Then, looking back at Bai Yujie: “The Bai Family, you wouldn’t happen to come from the Bai Family in Magic City, would you?”
“Yes,” Bai Yujie smiled, “But in the family, I’m only a collateral member, I don’t have much say.”
Jiang Xu thought this was quite the coincidence.
In that case, Bai Yujie was also Bai Xiaoya’s cousin.
After chatting for a while longer, they both closed their eyes to rest.
Just the night before, An Nuonuo had some things she didn’t understand and had asked Jiang Xu for help.
Jiang Xu had been generous with his knowledge, leading to his current state of exhaustion and need for some time to recover.
When they woke up, they had arrived in Harbin.
Before getting off the plane, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo went to the restroom to add an extra layer of long johns.
The temperature in Harbin was several degrees below zero.
“Then you guys have fun, I still have work, so I won’t join you,” Bai Yujie said.
“No worries, Sister Bai, take care,” they replied.
After parting with Bai Yujie, the two headed straight for the nearest marketplace.
Jiang Xu had done a lot of online research beforehand and knew where to find plenty of good food.
It had to be said, the cost of living in Harbin was incredibly low.
Six yuan could get you a fast-food meal with two meat and two vegetable dishes, plus soup.
If you lived here, even if you let yourself go and ate to your heart’s content, the food would only cost a thousand yuan a month at most.
An Nuonuo fell in love with the place.
After tasting several kinds of local cuisine, she pulled Jiang Xu to go see Ice and Snow World.
Although Harbin wasn’t as bustling as it would be in ten years, there were still many tourists.
Especially foreign tourists, there were a lot of them.
Bai Yujie’s six-star hotel was located near Ice and Snow World.
This was also the main reason Jiang Xu was tempted and considering investing.
Upon arrival, An Nuonuo became much more lively.
I pulled Jiang Xu along and took lots of photos.
In the afternoon, we also experienced the local bathhouse culture.
Just like what was described online.
The bathhouses were indeed very fun to play around in.
There were buffets, resting rooms, and arcades, among other amenities.
After experiencing the scrubbing bath, Jiang Xu lay in the resting room, feeling as if he had shed ten pounds of burden.
The bathhouse uncle was very skilled, scrubbing every bit of dirt off Jiang Xu’s body.
An Nuonuo hadn’t come over yet.
Jiang Xu was lounging, eating the buffet, looking quite content.
This place is actually great for retirement.
It’s very cold in winter, but there is heating.
In summer, there are even more fun things to do, and it’s close to the sea; seafood is cheap, too.
“Creak.”
While I was eating, An Nuonuo pushed open the door and came in.
Her face was red, and she looked both embarrassed and shy.
“What happened to you?” Jiang Xu asked, puzzled.
An Nuonuo let out a whimper and threw herself into Jiang Xu’s arms.
“Wuwuwu, it’s so embarrassing, the bathhouse aunty, she…”
Jiang Xu understood and burst out laughing.
The scrubbers here are very meticulous when they work.
Every part of the body, even that thing, they’ll flip it over and wash it clean.
An Nuonuo, who had never experienced it, would naturally be embarrassed.
“You’re still laughing.” An Nuonuo softly punched him: “I’m never coming here again.”
Jiang Xu had a mischievous smile: “Now let me see how much you’ve changed after the wash?”
“Don’t-”
“No, this is an order.”
“Help-”
The hotel we stayed at night was a five-star one.
It was almost twelve o’clock.
We quickly washed up and were ready to go to sleep.
Just then, Jiang Xu received a strange international call.
He had a guess and decided to answer it.
“Jiang Xu, it’s Louis!”
The person on the other end identified himself right away.
“Oh, what’s up?” Jiang Xu said, indifferently.
“Let’s make peace,” Louis’s voice didn’t betray any emotion: “Continuing like this benefits no one.”
He had been utterly frustrated and in a sorry state recently.
A whole bunch of hitmen, attracted by the high bounty, had made consecutive assassination attempts on him.
As a result, he didn’t even dare to go out and have fun anymore.
For a super playboy, this was hard to accept.
Things are different abroad than at home.
In Mei Country, ‘equality for all’ is the mantra, and carrying weapons is legal.
But back in Jiang Xu’s home country, there’s much more control over such things.
This led to Jiang Xu being able to threaten Louis’s life with money.
But Louis couldn’t do the same.
Especially since Jiang Xu was now on guard, the previous methods were totally ineffective.
Jiang Xu hadn’t expected this guy to crumble under pressure so quickly.
I still prefer your defiant nature of old.
After thinking it through, Jiang Xu said, “Ten billion for a peace settlement.”
“Have you gone mad? That’s robbery?!’1 Louis erupted in rage.
But he quickly calmed down: “Ten billion is too much, two billion.”
Jiang Xu hung up on him right away.
Louis’s anger soared to its peak in an instant.
But he managed to hold back and called again.
His voice hoarse, he said, “A flat fee, five billion, not a penny more.
Plus, I’ll throw in an opportunity for you!”
