Jiang Xu: “What opportunity? Tell me about it.”
Louis: “An alliance specially designed to reap the wealth of the world, and I hold the only entrance ticket.
If you agree to reconcile, I’ll give you this entrance ticket.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xu’s eyes immediately burst with a fierce radiance.
He had heard of this alliance in his previous life.
Of course, back then it was because a series of incidents had occurred, exposing it, that he came to know about this secret alliance.
Now, it was still something ordinary people couldn’t access.
This alliance had no name, but many were very familiar with a product they once manipulated.
Te coins!
In the coming years, this product was going to severely reap global investors several times over.
The manipulators behind it made a fortune.
Jiang Xu was tempted for a moment.
But he quickly calmed down and said, “Fine, then transfer the money to me as soon as possible, and we’ll call it even.”
“Hahaha, that’s more like it,” Louis laughed heartily. “A wise man adapts to circumstances, as an old saying in your country goes.
In the future, let’s cooperate and make a fortune together.”
Jiang Xu also laughed: “That’s true, nothing is more important than making money.
Send me the money when you can, and I’ll call off the bounty on you.”
“Mhm, send me your card number, and it will be transferred within twenty-four hours.”
Jiang Xu gave his card number.
They chatted for a bit more and then he hung up the phone.
An Nuonuo had been quietly resting her head on Jiang Xu’s chest throughout, drawing circles: “You’re so naughty, deceiving people again.”
Only she knew Jiang Xu best.
He never intended to reconcile.
He deliberately said so.
One reason was to lower the other’s guard.
The other was to fleece him.
Jiang Xu pinched her nose: “You know too much, so I must keep your mouth shut.”
An Nuonuo suddenly widened her eyes: “Mm…”
The next day when they woke up, it was already past ten.
Jiang Xu was awoken by pain.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw An Nuonuo biting his arm.
Jiang Xu grimaced: “What are you doing?”
The young girl, with puffed cheeks and looking aggrieved, said: “You didn’t keep your promise, you said one week of…”
Jiang Xu said seriously: “Where was our contract signed?”
An Nuonuo: “At home, yeah.”
“That’s right,” Jiang Xu said matter-of-factly. “We’re now in Harbin.
Therefore, we have left the contract location, and it will only take effect after we return.”
Jiang Xu thought to himself that he really was a genius for coming up with such a reason.
An Nuonuo’s cheeks puffed up even more.
This was sheer sophistry.
So she grabbed Jiang Xu’s other arm and bit down hard.
Jiang Xu warned: “An Nuonuo, let go, or I’ll have to fight back.”
The girl ignored him.
“Alright, alright, if that’s the case, then don’t blame me for exerting my full power to suppress you.”
Soon, the sounds of An Nuonuo begging for mercy filled the room.
On their second day in Harbin, the two didn’t step out of their room at all.
They had intended to, but for some unmentionable reasons, they didn’t.
In the afternoon, both of them rested in the room.
In the evening, An Nuonuo said she would arrange dinner.
Before leaving, she put on a mask, which Jiang Xu found a bit strange.
But he did not dwell on it.
He decided to take a bath first.
The hotel had a hot spring, which was super comfortable to soak in.
By the time he was done, An Nuonuo had already come back in.
She was followed by several waiters, all carrying platters in their hands.
After setting the platters on the table, the waiters looked at Jiang Xu with a peculiar expression.
It left him a bit puzzled.
“Phew.”
Once everyone had left, An Nuonuo removed her mask, let out a breath, and her face was very red.
“What are you up to?” Jiang Xu looked at her curiously.
“Nothing,” An Nuonuo’s gaze flickered, a bit guilty, and she quickly changed the subject, “You start eating, I’m going to use the restroom.”
After saying that, she hurried away.
Jiang Xu was confused.
He walked over to the dining table, ready to drink some soup first.
But when he lifted the lid, he was stunned by the ingredients he saw.
Stirring with his chopsticks, Jiang Xu gulped down some saliva, “Soft-shelled turtle, oysters, chicken kidneys, pig kidneys, beef kidneys, radishes, black beans…”
All highly nourishing foods.
If he drank this, even if he passed by a hardware store, the owner would accuse him of stealing their steel pipes.
If an earthworm drank it, it would turn into a steel nail and go work on a construction site.
Drop a hair in it, and when you pulled it out, it would have turned into a steel reinforcing bar.
Wouldn’t An Nuonuo be tearing her heart out in frustration?
No wonder she had to wear a mask when she went out, those waiters were looking at him so strangely.
He didn’t drink it, and waited for An Nuonuo to come out of the washroom before asking indignantly, “Explain yourself, what is this all about?”
An Nuonuo hung her head, “I… I just wanted to nourish you-”
Jiang Xu couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
Such heavily nourishing stuff, could he even handle it?
You want to fight to the death, is that it?
In the end, Jiang Xu still drank it.
Truthfully, these things weren’t going to taste great.
But the effects, those were definitely real.
Jiang Xu didn’t dare to drink too much, otherwise tonight would be another tumultuous one.
He drank half of it and gave the rest to An Nuonuo.
Then tonight, the two of them slept in separate rooms.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Xu felt burning hot all over.
He tossed and turned in bed but couldn’t fall asleep.
He considered going to see An Nuonuo.
But after thinking about it, he gave up.
He couldn’t let himself indulge too much.
He struggled until around two or three in the morning before finally falling into a deep sleep.
On the third day in Harbin
When Jiang Xu opened his eyes, it was already past noon.
His stomach was growling with hunger.
He picked up his phone to look.
The five billion had arrived.
Jiang Xu was immediately fully awake with a start.
That idiot hadn’t even questioned the truthfulness of Jiang Xu’s words before transferring the money.
In reality, it wasn’t that Louis was foolish, but rather that their ways of thinking were different.
Those people prioritize profits above all.
For the sake of profit, anything can be sacrificed.
But it’s different for the Chinese people.
Some things, no matter how much money you offer, are pointless.
Jiang Xu immediately called Jiang Xiaoyan to inform her of the situation.
He cautioned her, “First, cancel the task, and when he lets his guard down, we’ll…”
“Wow, you’re so sneaky,” Jiang Xiaoyan exaggeratedly exclaimed, “But I like it, hehehe.
But Bai Xue might be a little upset; she’s going to miss out on ten billion.”
Jiang Xu: “She probably won’t mind, we’ll have many opportunities to cooperate in the future.”
“Alright, I’ll talk to her,” Jiang Xiaoyan said cheerfully, “Hold on, Zhou Qingyue and I are on our way to Harbin.”
“Huh?” Jiang Xu’s face fell with shock, “What are you guys coming here for, get lost.”
If those two troublemakers came, how could he enjoy himself?
Jiang Xiaoyan was unfazed, “We’re about to board the plane, and your objection is pointless.
Oh, and it’s not just the two of us, there’s also someone you wouldn’t expect.”
