After the meeting ended, everyone left, except for SZ who remained in the conference room.
Unable to resist, he rubbed his brow, inadvertently revealing a hint of weariness.
His secretary walked in and spoke softly, “Are you still worried about that matter?”
“Yes,” SZ sighed, “because of those JDs, there have already been substantial losses in our major cities.
But we don’t even have a single useful clue in hand.
If this continues, the losses will only become greater.”
The secretary said, “You don’t have to worry too much, we will definitely find a solution.”
SZ changed the subject, “Do you have something for me?”
“Oh, it’s Mr. Jiang Xu Jiang who has come to visit and is waiting outside, hoping to see you.”
“Him? It’s the first time he has taken the initiative to see me. Please invite him
in.”
“Yes.”
Jiang Xu had met this person once.
He was a very kind old man.
Seeing him again, there was little change.
After the simple pleasantries, Jiang Xu got straight to the point.
“Show me the item,” SZ said with calm.
Jiang Xu opened his laptop and placed it in front of him.
SZ watched intently.
His expression was calm, but his fists under the table were clenched tightly.
After finishing, the look he gave Jiang Xu was filled with admiration and delight.
He had never expected the issue that had troubled him and many of his colleagues to be so easily resolved by the young man before him.
It could be considered a fluke or Jiang Xu’s incredible luck.
SZ copied the data from the laptop, his face now brimming with a smile, “With this information, there are many things we can do.
You, again, have achieved a great feat.”
In the face of his praise, Jiang Xu still spoke modestly, claiming it was just good luck.
When asked what reward he wanted, Jiang Xu just shook his head, declining the offer.
It wasn’t because he was being pretentious or putting on an act.
It was simply because he had never thought about wanting anything.
This was, after all, something a citizen should do.
“Very good,” SZ couldn’t help but applaud in admiration.
With his discernment, he could naturally see that Jiang Xu wasn’t just being polite but truly had no intention of asking for anything.
He couldn’t help expressing his sentiments, “If there were more people like you, our country would surely catch up with other developed countries much faster.”
Jiang Xu spoke with a firm voice, “It definitely will.”
After a few more words, Jiang Xu got up to take his leave.
SZ had his secretary see Jiang Xu out.
This level of treatment was already quite high.
Once the secretary returned, SZ said to him, “Go and inform the major powerhouses and noble families of Magic City.
Jiang Xu is a pillar of the nation. I won’t interfere with normal business competition.
But if someone uses underhanded tactics, well, hehe.”
The secretary felt a shiver in his heart.
He was well aware of the formidable power contained in the old man’s simple statement.
He nodded and went to handle the matter.
Jiang Xu was unaware that the man had just provided him with an extra layer of protection.
In the future, as long as Jiang Xu didn’t do anything illegal in Magic City, he could basically do as he pleased.
The greatest credit for this incident was due to Bai Xue.
Jiang Xu contacted Liu Yun and ordered a necklace worth over fifty million.
He also obtained Bai Xue’s address to have it sent over.
Back at school.
Even though it was past midnight, Jiang Xu still entered effortlessly with facial recognition.
In the independent dormitory, An Nuonuo had prepared a late-night snack. “Silly girl, didn’t I tell you to go to sleep first? Staying up late can ruin your skin,” Jiang Xu said, feeling some heartache.
She was still on her period, and she should be resting more.
The girl stuck out her tongue, “Can’t sleep, huh? Anyway, there’s no professional class tomorrow, we can totally sleep in.”
Not being able to sleep was your lie.
It was after ten the next morning when the two of them finally woke up.
Jiang Xu, as usual, first dealt with some company matters.
All the subsidiaries were currently operating well.
In particular, Plum Blossom Mobile phones were still incredibly popular, hard to come by.
iPhone was now struggling to survive in the cracks.
There was little exposure, and not many people paid attention.
The incidents from his past life of people selling their kidneys for an iPhone, or even high school girls selling themselves for a phone, did not happen again.
The high-end market was now standing on firm ground.
Wang Zhang’s main focus was on establishing the mid to low-end brand ‘Plum Blossom Mobile’.
Currently, the work revolved around integrating the supply chain, which would take about a month or so.
The offline stores in collaboration with the Bai Family had already opened around one-tenth of the planned total.
At this rate, in another month or so, the rest should be nearly complete.
Next up, the development of 5G needed to be scheduled.
But the investment required for that was simply too massive.
You could pour in a hundred billion and it might not even cause a big splash.
Moreover, there wasn’t enough time.
So Jiang Xu only planned to enter a small part of the 5G space.
Radio frequency chips.
Once he got that under his belt, he could cooperate with Huawei for the rest.
Additionally, after resolving the competition with Zhang Xiaofeng, the profits from his entertainment company also increased.
The few TV series they recently produced had received very good market responses.
Then, Jiang Xu checked the news.
The fourth, eighth, and twelfth spots on the trending searches were all about Zhou Qingyue.
The ‘original’ songs Jiang Xu gave her last time were released yesterday.
The reaction had been huge.
Everyone had not expected Zhou Qingyue, who was only known for acting and dancing, to also be a talented woman.
And those songs were all quite positive, even earning praise from official media.
That was rare and significant for a celebrity.
Under the current contract with the company, Zhou Qingyue had signed,
for every hundred dollars she made, she had to give fifty-one to the company.
The bigger her fame, the more Jiang Xu earned.
Jiang Xiaoyan suddenly called.
“Hello, I hope I’m not disturbing you and An Nuonuo’s hehehe.”
She started with her usual old sleazy talk.
Jiang Xu was now immune to it.
He responded indifferently, “Spit it out if you have something to say.”
“Tch, heartless bastard,” Jiang Xiaoyan snorted coldly, “It’s my birthday this
Saturday, remember to come with Nuonuo.”
Jiang Xu’s heart stirred, “Sure, we’ll definitely be there.”
Jiang Xiaoyan was all alone now.
For her birthday, it would probably be just a few of them to keep her company.
An Nuonuo woke up too.
Hearing that it was Jiang Xiaoyan’s birthday this Saturday,
she immediately got up, “Ah, this is a bit short notice, I’ll need to stay up from tonight to get it done.”
Jiang Xu stroked his chin, pondering what gift to prepare for Jiang Xiaoyan.
Owing her so much, a birthday gift couldn’t just be bought, that would be too insincere.
It had to be something he made himself.
After a short consideration, Jiang Xu had an idea.
Soon it was Saturday.
At nine thirty in the morning, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo arrived at Jiang Xiaoyan’s place.
But it was Zhou Qingyue who opened the door.
