Jiang Xu entered his own office, turned on the computer, and started to work. The company’s efficiency is getting better and better.
In particular, the entertainment industry, such as novels and games, has become the main source of income for the entire group.
In the gaming department, several games adapted from novels are about to go online recently.
However, Jiang Xu still felt that the money was far from enough.
If the profits could increase by a hundredfold, that would be just about right.
“Knock knock knock…”
There came a knocking at the door.
With a response from Jiang Xu, the door to the office opened, and Avi walked in.
Boss, I’ve made you a cup of tea and some pastries, please take a break.” “Mhm,” Jiang Xu replied without raising his head, “Just set it down, thank you.” Avi was tall and curvaceous, with skin white as jade.
Her long, golden hair cascaded down her shoulders, shimmering and eye-catching.
She wore a tight-fitting dress that perfectly outlined her exquisite figure.
The hem of the dress swayed gently with her steps, exuding an enchanting feminine charm.
The high heels she wore made her figure even more graceful and added an extra touch of sexiness.
Her lips were painted with bright lipstick, radiating enticing allure from the inside out.
Avi walked over and placed the tea and pastries in front of Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu’s nose twitched.
He smelled a very nice perfume.
And so, he looked up.
With a coy smile, Avi said flirtatiously, “Boss, you look so handsome today, it makes my little heart thump wildly.”
Jiang Xu seriously said, “Then you might be sick. I’ll give you half a day off to
go to the hospital for a check-up.”
The smile on Avi’s face stiffened instantly.
But quickly returned to normal, and she rested her hands on the desk, leaning slightly forward.
Her clothing wasn’t very tight around the neckline.
This action would lead to a great view if Jiang Xu just raised his eyes slightly.
But Jiang Xu did not do so.
Ever since he had An Nuonuo, he no longer watched those teachers’ works. Not because of some noble reason, but because compared to An Nuonuo, those teachers simply weren’t on the same level.
It’s like having to choose between a single dollar and a hundred dollars, any normal person knows to choose the latter.
Jiang Xu’s gaze fell on Avi’s face, a stern expression on his: “I hired you to generate profitability for the company.
If you focus all your attention on improper schemes, then I’ll have no choice but to let you go.”
Upon hearing this, Avi immediately panicked.
Judging by Jiang Xu’s demeanor, it didn’t seem like he was joking.
She quickly admitted her mistake, promising not to repeat it in the future.
Jiang Xu waved his hand: “Get back to work.”
“Yes, goodbye, boss,” she replied.
Avi turned and left the office.
As soon as she left the office, her earlier panic vanished without a trace.
In its place, a full display of admiration: “Very well, you’ve ignited my competitive desire, I must have you.”
Often, it doesn’t matter whether it’s a man or a woman, it’s all the same.
What s easily within reach, they don’t even spare a glance.
Instead, they desperately want to grasp what seems unattainable.
The unattainable is forever stirring restlessly.
That’s one of the reasons why, several years later, society saw an increase in so-called “loyal dogs.”
No sooner had Avi left than Jiang Xu’s phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, Jiang Xu’s heart skipped a beat.
It was the captain of the female bodyguards responsible for protecting An Nuonuo.
Immediately answered the call.
Jiang Xu sprang to his feet, “Okay, I’ll be right there.”
About forty minutes later, Jiang Xu arrived at the central hospital of Magic City, in one of the VIP wards.
As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw An Nuonuo lying there.
And a few doctors in white coats.
“Are you okay?” Jiang Xu rushed over, gripping An Nuonuo’s hand with extreme concern.
He had received a phone call saying that Nuonuo had been in a car crash, so he rushed over immediately.
“I’m fine,” Nuonuo shook her head: “The doctor said it’s just a minor scrape and a slight concussion. I should be good after a few days in the hospital.”
Only then did Jiang Xu feel relieved.
He thanked the doctors.
After they left, he turned to the female bodyguard captain.
An icy aura suddenly emanated from him, “Speak. What happened?” The bodyguard captain said with a serious face, “Our car collided with an out-of-control dump truck full of mud.
Thankfully, our car had been modified and was strong enough, not even the B-pillar or C-pillar were deformed, so no major issues occurred.
However, the dump truck’s driver died on the spot.”
Jiang Xu demanded in a cold voice, “Have you determined whether it was an accident or intentional?”
Bodyguard captain: “We’re still investigating, which will take some time.
Don’t worry, boss. We will certainly give you a satisfactory response.”
After a while, the official personnel arrived.
An Nuonuo is not just the ambassador of Magic City, she also owns many high-quality local businesses.
Her accident naturally drew official attention.
At the same time, they also brought over the surveillance video of the accident.
Jiang Xu watched it several times.
In the video, the car carrying Nuonuo was waiting at the traffic light.
Cars on the opposite side were driving normally.
But that dump truck suddenly “lost control” and headed straight for Nuonuo’s car with precision.
It was almost certain that the car crash was orchestrated.
Because it was too coincidental.
Fortunately, one side of the accident was at a standstill.
If both sides had been speeding, the collision would have been disastrous.
With restrained rage, Jiang Xu said to the officials who had come, “This is clearly an attempt at murder.
We are honest businessmen and have never engaged in any heinous activities.
I hope you can find the real culprit and bring them to justice soon!”
The officials all expressed that they certainly would.
Without staying too long, these officials left.
Only he and An Nuonuo remained in the room.
Seeing Jiang Xu’s fearsome demeanor, while holding onto his hand, “Calm
down first, Brother Xu. Don’t let anger cloud your judgment.”
“Hmm,” Jiang Xu sat beside the bed, pinching her cheek, “Were you scared?”
“A bit,” An Nuonuo said with residual fear, “at that moment I thought I would never see you again.”
It was the first time she’d felt so close to death.
Jiang Xu held her in his arms, soothing her gently.
“Brother Xu, who do you think did this? Zhang Xiaofeng? Or…”
She dared not say the name of that man.
“No,” Jiang Xu shook his head: “It wouldn’t be Wang Junyue; his obsession with
you is too deep to do this, nor would it be Zhang Xiaofeng.
The opponent is already out in the open.
If he did this at this time, it would be tantamount to telling everyone that he is involved.
Anybody with a normal brain wouldn’t commit such an act.” “Then…” An Nuonuo hesitated, “who else would want me dead?”
