Chapter 580: Chapter 580
Zhou Qingyue closed her eyes in despair.
Let alone the fact that she was so frightened that her whole body was weak and she had no strength left.
Even if she were in perfect condition, facing this kind of professional assassin, she wouldn’t have the slightest chance of winning.
“Hmph!”
Just when Zhou Qingyue thought her death was certain, the female assassin suddenly let out a muffled grunt.
Zhou Qingyue opened her eyes and saw the assassin’s hand stopped in mid-air.
A roughly twenty-centimeter-long arrow had pierced through her palm.
Then Zhou Qingyue heard the sound of a window breaking.
Two muscular women charged in.
Seeing this, the female assassin did not hesitate to escape through the window on the other side.
Of the two who had rushed in, one stayed to take care of Zhou Qingyue, and the other pursued the assassin.
Zhou Qingyue, still shaken, asked, “Who are you?”
The woman said, “The boss sent us to protect you secretly; he had anticipated that someone might make a move on you.”
“Wu wu wu,” Zhou Qingyue cried out, “That means, he still cares about me.”
The woman replied indifferently, “The boss has a message for you, ‘Don’t flatter yourself.
He had people protect you, not because of any feelings for you.
It’s only because you still have usefulness, and you can bring him profits.
If you can’t offer any benefits to him, he would abandon you without hesitation.'”
Although Zhou Qingyue was slightly annoyed, she didn’t say anything.
Just surviving today felt like a huge win.
Not long after, the other woman returned, shaking her head and said, “I couldn’t catch up; the opponent is very professional. My advice is to move to a different location.”
Zhou Qingyue nodded eagerly.
Having experienced what had just happened, she was ready to run as far as possible, even vowing never to return to this place again.
…
Jiang Xu soon received news about Zhou Qingyue’s encounter with an assassin and felt little surprise.
It was something highly likely to happen.
In fact, Jiang Xu had even planned to use Zhou Qingyue as bait.
It’s just a pity that it didn’t work out.
Jiang Xu decided not to tell An Nuonuo about this.
And he warned Zhou Qingyue not to mention it to her either.
Knowing An Nuonuo’s temperament, if she found out Zhou Qingyue had nearly been killed, she would surely beg Jiang Xu to bring her back.
Then, Zhou Qingyue wouldn’t serve as a warning as intended.
After dealing with some matters at hand, An Nuonuo came over.
Sitting next to Jiang Xu, she took out a necklace and placed it around Jiang Xu’s neck, “This is a peace talisman I had someone retrieve from a temple.
I should have gone personally, but I can’t right now, so just wear this for the time being.
Once the crisis is over, I’ll go to the temple myself to pray for you, brother.”
“Such a good girl,” Jiang Xu pinched her earlobe, which immediately blushed red.
“You should rest early today; I have to get busy now.”
After speaking, An Nuonuo rose from the sofa and returned to her own study.
Lately, besides helping with the company’s work, she spent the rest of her time live streaming.
Her follower count on Tiantian Headlines had now exceeded ten million, even more than Jiang Xu’s.
Couldn’t be helped, given the circumstances, and her being so talented.
Jiang Xu had seen An Nuonuo’s fan profile.
Sixty percent of the fans were female, and forty percent were male.
And the quality of these fans was very high.
Rarely did they engage in attacks, slander, or instigate vitriol by stepping on others.
Selling clothes and cosmetics through live-streaming, almost every broadcast could bring in sales of eighty or ninety million or even more than a hundred million.
Other enterprises had already taken notice of the power of live streaming.
Some more sensitive companies had also started to dip their toes into this area.
Perhaps in this lifetime, due to Jiang Xu’s intervention, live streaming might take off ahead of its time.
It certainly wouldn’t affect him, but for the current e-commerce leader, it might be a heavy blow.
Jiang Xu had someone keep an eye on President Ma’s movements as well.
So far, there were no signs that he was planning to venture into live streaming.
But that made sense; he was the e-commerce tycoon, a leading enterprise, full of vigor and disdain for all, not believing anyone could challenge their dominance in the e-commerce field.
Otherwise, Pinduoduo wouldn’t have been able to break through in the previous life, and in the later stages, even surpassed Ali in market value.
Live streaming sales were making money off female fans.
And live-coding games were cashing in on male fans.
So far, An Nuonuo had created three small games during her live streams.
One was Fight the Landlords, another Mahjong, and also a game of Gomoku.
Actually, they weren’t much different from similar games on the market; just a few small gimmicks were added.
Then, during the live streams, An Nuonuo would randomly connect with fans to play and interact together.
Her voice was sweet and sticky, and she was very polite, gentle to everyone.
Even when some haters attacked, she simply smiled it off.
Sincerity was the ultimate killer move.
It was by such means that the three small games An Nuonuo had made now had a daily online count of five to six hundred thousand players.
And the daily revenue from in-game purchases of all three games combined had reached tens of millions.
The only cost was hiring a few people to manage and maintain the games, which was negligible.
Yet the profits they brought were immense.
At this moment, An Nuonuo was in her study, earnestly and vigorously live streaming, interacting with her fans.
An Nuonuo was geared up now, doing her utmost to help her fiancé resolve his troubles.
Today’s live stream was about game development.
The live development of the previous three small games had brought An Nuonuo significant popularity.
Therefore, tonight An Nuonuo planned to tackle something a bit more challenging.
“Good evening, everyone, I’m An Nuonuo. You all have worked hard today and must be tired. I hope my arrival can bring you a bit of relaxation.”
The live stream started with the fans’ familiar opening salvo.
It was still so gentle and touching, like a breeze in spring, making people feel remarkably comfortable.
Many were punctually waiting in front of their computers for An Nuonuo to start broadcasting.
The live room already had tens of thousands of people flooding in, beginning to flood the chat with comments.
“Nuonuo is just too gentle, I’m crying to death.”
“A billionaire lady is actually so polite when talking to me, it’s truly flattering.”
“Sister Nuonuo is excessively gentle, my mom has never spoken to me in such a tender tone.”
“An Nuonuo, what color do you like your sacks to be?”
…
Besides, many fans started to donate gifts, and a myriad of dazzling special effects filled the screen.
And An Nuonuo also reminded them, “If you’re just starting out at work or come from an average family, or if you’re still a student, please don’t send gifts.”
