“NuoNuo Cosmetics Company?”
An Nuonuo looked at the share transfer document and a company seal in her hand, curiously gazing at An Feng.
An Feng said, “Yes, it was established two months ago, with a registered capital of fifty million.
The headquarters and factory are both located in the northern part of Magic City.
I’ve taken care of the employees, production line, raw material suppliers, and long-term customer group as well.
All the contracts signed are for more than two years.
All these are managed by professionals. You just need to check it out occasionally.
Even if you don’t expand in the future, the net profit for a year would be over five million.
Sign here, and you’ll be the only shareholder of this company.”
“Why?” An Nuonuo questioned.
“Silly girl, you’re my daughter. Isn’t it natural for a dad to provide for you?” An Feng laughed, saying,
“I’ve researched and the cosmetics industry looks promising in the future.
As long as you don’t go off track, and with me helping you in the background, you can absolutely make big money.”
“Thank you, dad.”
Without further ado, An Nuonuo signed the papers.
“???” An Feng swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue, his face full of puzzlement.
Something’s not right.
How has my daughter changed?
Based on An Nuonuo’s personality, she would not accept this.
What he didn’t realize was that all this was due to the good teachings from Jiang Xu.
After a brief silence, An Nuonuo finally asked, “How is she…now?”
“You mean Auntie Zhang, right? She will probably give birth around May next year. It’s a boy. Will you… acknowledge this little brother in the future?”
An Feng looked anxiously at An Nuonuo.
An Nuonuo bit her lip.
She had thought of this question many times before.
But, she never came to a clear conclusion.
She shook her head, “I don’t know.”
This answer was within An Feng’s expectations.
Still, she was somewhat thoughtful.
At least, An Nuonuo didn’t outright reject acknowledging her little brother.
“Never mind, let’s talk about this later.”
An Feng shook his head and then took out two red envelopes, “I’m sorry that I couldn’t be with you on New Year’s Eve.
These two red envelopes, one for you, one for your mom.”
“Thank you, dad.” An Nuonuo received the red envelopes with both hands.
Then she asked, “Aren’t you giving one to Jiang Xu?”
“Ah?” An Feng was stunned.
An Nuonuo added, “He’s your junior, shouldn’t you give him one?”
An Feng’s mouth twitched involuntarily.
Is my daughter starting to favor Jiang Xu over her own family?
“Fine, I’ll give him one too.”
An Feng finally relented.
He took out an empty red envelope, intending to put a few hundred yuan in it.
At this moment, An Nuonuo had already opened one of her red envelopes.
It was a check, valued at one million.
Her eyes sparkled slightly.
Seeing that An Feng only intended to give Jiang Xu a few hundred yuan, she pouted, “Dad… shouldn’t you give him the same amount as me?”
How could An Feng bear to do that?
Though he was wealthy now.
Just thinking about how his precious daughter is now favoring Jiang Xu made him incredibly jealous.
He managed to say, “For red envelopes, it’s the thought that counts. The goal is to bring good luck.
Besides, there’s no way he compares to you.”
An Nuonuo stated, “He’s going to be your son-in-law soon; he’s considered family. You should definitely give him the same amount.”
The moment she spoke, An Nuonuo instantly regretted it.
Her face flushed crimson.
She had inadvertently voiced her innermost feelings.
Pain!
Intense pain!
That’s what An Feng was feeling now.
Damn it!
Just what the hell had that Jiang Xu done to his daughter?
Why is she always defending that brat now?
They were not even at the beginning stages, and they were already thinking about marriage?
This really infuriated the old man.
Faced with his daughter’s gaze, even if An Feng was extremely upset with Jiang Xu, he had no choice but to puli out the blank check obediently.
He wrote a million on it.
God only knew how pissed off he felt at that moment.
That damn kid, going after his daughter and yet still expecting him to fork out money for him.
What an asshole!
A smile spread across An Nuonuo’s face.
Thinking about giving it to Jiang Xu later, she was certain he would be elated.
He would even compliment her for being clever.
Just the thought of it made her happy.
Unfortunately, joy and sorrow do not always go hand in hand for people.
The father was in utter depression while the daughter was flying high with happiness.
An Feng didn’t feel like staying here any longer.
He felt as if the world was filled with malice towards him.
He might as well return to Zhang Xiaohui’s side to seek solace.
After all, Zhang Xiaohui was eloquent, and whenever he was upset, she always managed to help him relax and let go.
An Nuonuo first went to see Li Yuanjuan to give her the red envelope.
“Humph, he’s pretty generous, giving me a million just like that.” Li Yuanjuan looked at the red packet and snickered.
“Mom…” An Nuonuo looked worried.
“Don’t worry, I can’t resist money that’s just handed to me.” Li Yuanjuan ruffled her hair, “The day after tomorrow is New Year’s Eve. I will close the shop tomorrow so I can spend time with you.”
“It’s okay, Mom. You do your thing. I have Jiang Xu to keep me company.”
Li Yuanjuan’s smile faded.
She could understand An Feng’s heartache earlier.
“Mom, I am going home.”
Seeing An Nuonuo leave, her cheerful figure disappearing in the distance, Li Yuanjuan couldn’t help but shake her head: “Ah, once a girl is grown, she no longer stays by her parents.”
“Just give it to me, just once, I promise it’ll be just once.
Please, hurry up, I can’t take it anymore.
I feel like ants are crawling all over my body. If you don’t give it to me, I’ll break down.
Waaa, stepfather, brother, Jiang Xu…”
“Shit, that’s disgusting, piss off right now.”
The moment she got home, An Nuonuo saw Fu Yanjie clinging onto Jiang Xu’s arm, begging and wailing, throwing a tantrum.
And then being kicked away by Jiang Xu.
An Nuonuo:”???”
Fu Yanjie, undaunted, ran back and rubbed his face against Jiang Xu’s arm.
“Shit, are you not disgusted?” Jiang Xu pushed him away: “I’m a man of principles, I won’t cut you any slack.”
“Please, brother, just this once. If you agree, I’ll accompany you for a month and bring my own olive oil.”
Jiang Xu:”…”
An Nuonuo:”???”
In the end, Jiang Xu agreed to Fu Yanjie’s unreasonable request.
Truth be told, it was because he was playing “Martial Universe” these days.
At first, Jiang Xu just asked him to help out.
But who knew, he actually became addicted.
To play the game, he started waking up early at five to secretly turn on the computer.
Then at seven, he would turn off the computer, go back to bed and pretend like he had just woken up.
Yesterday, he had an argument with a member of his team.
They ended up betting: if Fu Yanjie could get a rare costume item, the other person would have to call him “daddy” on the world channel.
In order to make that person call him “daddy,” Fu Yanjie first called Jiang Xu “daddy.”
Such a competitive man…
After understanding what happened, An Nuonuo couldn’t help but laugh.
“Right, did your dad give you a red envelope?” Jiang Xu asked An Nuonuo.
“Yes, he did.”
“How much?”
“Um…” An Nuonuo glanced at Fu Yanjie and said to Jiang Xu, “I will tell you later.”
Jiang Xu: “What’s the big deal? He’s practically family.”
An Nuonuo feebly responded: “I’m afraid he might get hit hard.”
“Haha, you’re really underestimating me..” Fu Yanjie patted his chest: “What haven’t I seen?”
