Jiang Xu brought An Ping back to An Feng’s home, where he unexpectedly encountered Zhang Xiaohui.
The woman had changed dramatically.
Gone was her previous arrogance and domineering manner.
In their stead were approachability and gentleness.
When she saw Jiang Xu, she was slightly stunned.
Then she chuckled lightly, “It’s been a long time, thank you for bringing my
son back.”
Jiang Xu handed An Ping over to her and said indifferently, “You’ve changed a
lot.”
“Yes,” sighed Zhang Xiaohui. “I used to hate you to the bone.
But as time has passed, I’ve found that I quite like the way things are now.
I live my days in leisure, without the need to tire my mind over other matters.”
Jiang Xu didn’t know whether she was sincere or feigning it.
But it didn’t matter anymore.
Even if she had the same resolve to endure humiliation as Han Xin, it would be
of no use.
Without capital or connections, she would never be able to turn her fortunes around again.
Not lingering there any longer, Jiang Xu left.
The next day, he went to class as usual.
On Zhang Xiaofeng’s end, the spending spree had also stopped, and things had started to return to normal.
An Nuonuo was even happier than Jiang Xu.
On the way to the classroom, she skipped and hopped, emitting bursts of bell-like laughter.
On the road, who knows how many male students envied Jiang Xu to the bone.
Those with girlfriends were envious, and those without were even more so.
Watching An Nuonuo’s fairy-like demeanor, Jiang Xu also displayed a smile from the bottom of his heart.
At that moment, he suddenly made up his mind.
In the morning, the two of them had a major subject class; after it finished, they holed up in their private dormitory.
Knowing that Jiang Xu was in great need of money, An Nuonuo was also working hard on coding, constantly improving and strengthening the “Spee y
Accelerator.”
Meanwhile, Jiang Xu turned on his computer and sent the over twenty novel outlines he had rushed out in the past few days to Lin Nan.
The company now had a group of writers signed exclusively to mimic Jiang
Xu’s writing style, serving him alone.
Once they received the outlines, they started writing.
Many well-known authors actually do this.
It saves time and effort, and they can make a lot of money.
As long as the quality is well controlled, it won’t let the readers down.
The production cost for each of these over twenty novels was between two hundred thousand and three hundred thousand.
But the value they could create for Jiang Xu was at least ten million each, at the very least.
And that was just from electronic subscription earnings.
With royalties, merchandise, and so on, the profit could at least be multiplied several times over.
Afterwards, Jiang Xu closed and locked the door to the study and gave Liu
Dahai a call.
“Dahai, I have something very important that I need you to do…
In the afternoon, An Nuonuo went to attend an elective class.
Jiang Xu himself went out with a few bodyguards.
First, he arrived at a jewelry store.
A cheongsam-clad sales assistant approached with a smile, “Good day, sir. May
I assist you with anything?”
Jiang Xu looked around, “I’m looking for a proposal ring, above one million. No diamond rings.”
At this time, many people were still keen on buying diamond rings.
But in reality, diamonds could be synthetically produced.
In a few years, they would significantly depreciate in value.
Jiang Xu wasn’t concerned about depreciation and such.
He simply thought that diamonds weren’t as precious as gold.
Upon hearing this, the sales assistant almost couldn’t help bursting into laughter.
Above one million, that was a super VIP customer!
She quickly led Jiang Xu to the VIP room, “Please wait a moment, sir. I will
bring them to you right away.”
After serving Jiang Xu tea and pastries, the sales assistant scurried out.
Before long, she returned with several beautifully packaged boxes.
She knelt halfway in front of Jiang Xu.
First, she opened the first one.
Inside was a pair of rings carved with dragons and phoenixes.
“This pair represents the propitious coming together of the dragon and the phoenix, made by a master craftsman, entirely by hand.
Look at the eyes of the dragon and the phoenix, adorned with cinnabar…”
Jiang Xu picked them up and examined them carefully.
The craftsmanship was extremely fine; even the feathers of the dragon and the phoenix and the dragon scales were vividly rendered.
He liked this set, but Jiang Xu didn’t place an order immediately; instead, he asked the sales associate to introduce a few other models.
All were nice.
But after looking at them, the dragon and phoenix set still best suited Jiang
Xu’s intention.
The price was a whopping one million two hundred and sixty thousand yuan.
He paid for it with a swipe of his card.
That’s right, Jiang Xu had suddenly made up his mind that morning to propose to An Nuonuo.
After the proposal, he would get engaged to An Nuonuo first.
Then, after a year and a half, when An Nuonuo was old enough to get a marriage certificate, they would marry.
He had called Liu Dahai earlier to help him arrange the proposal scene.
Next, Jiang Xu contacted more than a dozen florists and bought all their red
roses.
After getting back to school, Jiang Xu sought out the relevant authorities to express his needs.
Because he needed to send people into the school to set up the scene.
The school authorities agreed to Jiang Xu’s request without any hesitation.
Jiang Xu was still a student and already a big businessman.
Of course, he would give back to the school after graduating.
Such a simple request, of course, could not be refused.
After everything was set up, class had just ended.
Jiang Xu took An Nuonuo by the hand and headed outside: “Tonight, we’re going out for a seafood feast.
“Actual seafood?” An Nuonuo asked weakly.
She had been quite innocent.
Believing seafood meant just seafood.
But after hanging out with Jiang Xu frequently, she had been filled with all sorts of strange knowledge.
She felt she had become tainted.
Seafood might mean seafood, but it might also not.
But they all had one thing in common, that was being fishy…
Jiang Xu laughed heartily: “First we’ll have seafood, and then we’ll have
‘seafood.'”
An Nuonuo:
At a high-end hotel.
Jiang Xu ordered a table full of food, each dish costing over ten thousand yuan.
“Nuonuo, my phone is out of battery, let me use yours.”
“Oh~”
An Nuonuo didn’t suspect anything and handed her phone to him.
Jiang Xu first set the phone to silent mode.
Then he pretended to busy himself with the phone.
Borrowing An Nuonuo’s phone was to prevent their classmates from tipping An Nuonuo off.
Setting up a grand proposal scene would definitely not be a secret from so many people at school.
If An Nuonuo found out in advance, it would lose some of its surprise and wouldn’t achieve the effect Jiang Xu was aiming for.
After playing with the phone for a while, Jiang Xu turned off her phone when An Nuonuo wasn’t paying attention.
“Oops, your phone ran out of battery and shut down on its own.”
“Ah, I thought the battery was still quite full?”
“Not much left.”
“Oh, okay then.”
At this moment, dishes started arriving one after another.
An Nuonuo didn’t dwell on this small matter.
After a sumptuous seafood meal that took over an hour,
Jiang Xu received a text from Liu Dahai.
While An Nuonuo was distracted, he sneakily read the text: Boss, everything is ready!
