“A small token of appreciation, I hope you won’t despise it.”

Liu Yun smiled as she took out two exquisitely wrapped boxes and handed them to the couple, “Open them and see if you like what’s inside.”

The couple did as told.

Instantly, a trace of surprise flashed across Jiang Xu’s eyes.

In his hand was a jade pendant shaped like a dragon with gold inlay.

Even someone as uninformed as he could tell that this item was definitely not cheap.

In An Nuonuo’s hand was one shaped like a phoenix.

The two pendants had a curvature to them, and when put together, they formed a complete whole.

Jiang Xu looked at Liu Yun, “Sister Liu, this gift is too valuable, we cannot accept such a generous reward without having done anything to deserve it.”

As he spoke, he tried to return it to her.

Jiang Xu estimated that a pair of jade pendants like these wouldn’t go for less than ten million.

“Once I give something, I never take it back,” Liu Yun pretended to be upset, “I really like your girlfriend, let’s just call it making a new friend.”

Jiang Xu knew that she was willing to pay such a high price in the hopes of successfully signing An Nuonuo later.

For now, he might as well accept it.

If the negotiation fell through later, he’d give it back to her, or buy it himself.

Both parties took their seats.

While waiting for the dishes to be served, Liu Yun spoke again, “This pair of ‘Dragon Phoenix Heart Pleasers’ jade pendants was handcrafted by our country’s top carving master.

He only made two pairs. The other pair’s owner now has a happy family and children in pairs.”

An Nuonuo was instantly moved.

She shot Jiang Xu a look.

She wanted the jade pendants.

Whether it was out of superstition or yearning for their symbolic meaning, she wanted them.

Jiang Xu nodded slightly to indicate he understood.

If Nuonuo rarely wanted something, he would satisfy her desire no matter how difficult it might be.

The dishes soon arrived one after another.

Liu Yun had high emotional intelligence and was very good at enlivening the atmosphere.

With just a few words, she dispelled any sense of strangeness between the two sides.

When they had nearly finished eating, Liu Yun took out a contract and handed it to An Nuonuo, “Take a look at these terms and let me know if you can agree to them.”

An Nuonuo took it with both hands and opened it.

Jiang Xu also leaned over to look.

He was surprised at first glance.

The contract started by stating the signing fee and duration.

Three years, three billion yuan!

That was undoubtedly a sky-high figure.

Even the world’s top celebrities, nowadays, could hardly command an endorsement fee of one billion yuan a year.

Keep in mind it was still 2009, and money was indeed very valuable.

The terms proposed by Liu Yun were not numerous.

They were clear and straightforward without any contract traps.

There were just a few simple stipulations.

One was that after the three years were over,

If Century Jewelry still wanted to continue their endorsement with An Nuonuo, even if An Nuonuo dissented, she would still assist with a few promotional photoshoots.

Besides, during the contract period, An Nuonuo couldn’t commit any illegal or criminal activities that would damage the company’s reputation, or she would owe compensation.

Honestly, this contract was ludicrously lax.

It made Jiang Xu even suspect whether Liu Yun had some other motive.

Could she be like Lin Xiaoxian, harboring some ulterior motive towards An Nuonuo?

Liu Yun was as shrewd as a demon.

Although Jiang Xu did a good job of concealing his thoughts, she still read his concerns.

Smiling, Liu Yun said, “Please be at ease, the contract is certainly without issue.

The terms of cooperation are also as simple and clear as possible.”

Jiang Xu nodded, exchanging a glance with An Nuonuo.

An Nuonuo was willing.

So Jiang Xu said to Liu Yun, “Thank you for your appreciation, Sister Liu, we don’t have any concerns.”

“I just want to add a clause to the contract that my girlfriend will only cooperate with your company for jewelry photo shoots and advertisements.”

“For anything else, like dining or socializing with others, she won’t participate.”

Liu Yun agreed with a smile.

Century Jewelry is one of the top-ranked global mega-corporations.

They don’t need to rely on contracted celebrities to engage in socializing or accompanying others for drinks to make money.

In that case, there were no issues on Jiang Xu’s side.

Both parties completed the signing of the contract.

Because Liu Yun had already wasted a lot of time finding the right spokesperson,

as soon as the contract was signed, it was time for the photo shoot for the advertisements.

The shooting location was in the Capital city.

An Nuonuo could only take leave to go there.

Jiang Xu didn’t plan to follow.

He had quite a few things to handle at the moment.

An hour later, An Nuonuo boarded Century Jewelry’s private plane to fly to the Capital city.

An Nuonuo’s female bodyguard also went with her.

Jiang Xu made a call to Zhou Qjngyue.

“Well, well, the top scholar Jiang Xu actually took the initiative to call me, I am truly flattered,” came the somewhat exaggerated voice of Zhou Qjngyue as soon as the call connected.

Without beating around the bush, Jiang Xu asked her directly if she was in the Capital city.

“Yes, I just finished shooting a movie and was planning to take a break. What’s up?”

‘Well, Nuonuo is going to do a photoshoot for Century Jewelry and will arrive in the Capital city in two or three hours. Can you help me look after her if you’re free?”

“Oh, okay… AHHH!!!” Zhou Qingyue suddenly realized and let out a sharp and piercing scream.

Jiang Xu instinctively moved the phone away from his ear.

After a few seconds, he said, “What’s wrong with you, why are you screaming like that?”

“What did you just say? Nuonuo is going to shoot an advertisement for whom?” Zhou Qingyue’s voice was shaking.

Jiang Xu repeated himself.

“Wuu wuu wuu, why her!” Zhou Qingyue’s voice was filled with a whining tone, “That’s Century Jewelry we’re talking about here.

In the domestic entertainment industry, even if they have to pay out of their own pocket, they’d be willing to be that spokesperson.

Nuonuo is an outsider, why does she get such an honor?”

At this moment, Zhou Qingyue was truly beside herself with jealousy.

Jiang Xu said indifferently, “Because she’s prettier than you, gentler than you, more virtuous than you, has a better figure than you, and has better academic achievements than you…”

“Stop, stop, stop, don’t say anymore,” Zhou Qingyue felt utterly heartbroken and said viciously, “You’re such a jerk, enough, I’m hanging up.”

Jiang Xu shrugged and put away his phone.

With Zhou Qingyue looking after her, An Nuonuo would be even safer.

He looked at the time, it was almost midnight.

On his way back, Jiang Xu took a detour to check on the hotel renovation.

To rush the deadline, it was a round-the-clock operation with three shifts in rotation.

The exterior was now finished.

The interior decoration followed a minimalist style and was progressing quickly.

At this rate, it would be completed in another week or so.

After buying some late-night snacks for the construction workers, Jiang Xu left.

The next afternoon,

after school, Jiang Xu planned to purchase a batch of projectors and screens.

The quality didn’t have to be too good, as long as they were functional.

After all, most people who would come here weren’t really there to watch movies.

If there were any, they would definitely be single.

His car was parked outside the school.

As he walked towards it, he saw a pretty girl leaning against his car and throwing him a flirtatious wink.

Shocked, a woman was actually doing this kind of thing in the street…

Jiang Xu:”….”
