Translator: 549690339
“Boss, hahaha, I successfully negotiated the acquisition of Meiyijia!” “And the price is lower than you expected. Come on, praise me!
The call was from Lin Xiaoxian.
Even over the phone, one could feel her happiness and joy.
Jiang Xu was moved, “So quickly? Tell me more.
-There’s not much to it. I just used my silver tongue and kept contacting the owner of Meiyijia.
After so many attempts, and maybe being swayed by me, they agreed.
Boss, you initially gave me a budget of ten billion to acquire 8% of Meiyijia’s shares.
This time I did it with just 9.5 billion. You should give me a bigger reward.” “Not bad at all, deserving of praise.” Jiang Xu was in a great mood.
Today was a day of double celebration.
With the acquisition of 8% of Meiyijia’s shares, his hometown’s mineral water could be distributed extensively.
Right away, Jiang Xu announced that the bonus of ten million initially set for
Lin Xiaoxian would be doubled.
Even after doubling, Jiang Xu had saved forty million.
For truly capable people, Jiang Xu was never stingy.
“Boss, is Nuonuo with you?” Lin Xiaoxian asked cautiously.
“Yes, why?”
“Can I talk to her for a bit? I kind of miss her.”
Considering Lin Xiaoxian’s significant achievements this time, Jiang Xu agreed.
He handed the phone to An Nuonuo.
They chatted for about ten minutes before ending the call.
An Nuonuo returned the phone to Jiang Xu.
“What did she talk to you about?” Jiang Xu asked.
“Nothing much. She just talked about cosmetics and asked how I was doing at school, if I was eating well, and if I was keeping warm,” Nuonuo replied.
As a female bootlicker, Lin Xiaoxian was indeed qualified. Unfortunately, she could never win An Nuonuo’s affection.
Everyone went their separate ways.
Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo strolled back slowly.
A gust of wind blew, and the young girl involuntarily shrank her neck.
The weather was gradually getting cooler.
It wasn’t yet as erratic as it would be ten years later; the four seasons were still normal.
December was now approaching.
After a little more than a month of classes, winter vacation would begin.
Jiang Xu wrapped his arms around her, “Let’s get home quickly.”
An Nuonuo nodded, “Mhm.”
The next day, Jiang Xu took a trip alone to the Capital city.
He was going to see Liu Yue.
Jiang Xu had already produced “Where is Daddy” together with twenty ‘original songs’.
Now it was time to earnestly begin production.
Almost daily, he had to communicate with An Feng and Fu Xinghan, coordinating the progress of arrangements between all parties.
The steps needed to be synchronized.
Once everything was ready, they would act simultaneously.
At noon, upon arriving at the Capital city,
Jiang Xu went straight to Qinghe Company.
He had already eaten on the plane.
Finding Liu Yue, he first showed her the variety show script.
“This concept is pretty good; it should become popular,” Liu Yue nodded after reading, “Do we start now?”
“Yes,” Jiang Xu said solemnly, “We need to move fast. I’ll cover the expenses, one billion should be enough.”
In reality, if it were just the production costs, ten million wouldn’t even be necessary.
After all, it was just about hiring a few washed-up male stars.
For the location, renting a house in the countryside wouldn’t cost much.
That one billion included promotional expenses as well.
If Jiang Xu was willing to finance the project, Liu Yue naturally had no objections.
Then, Jiang Xu handed over the twenty songs he had written to her. For each song, Jiang Xu noted the type of singer he wanted for the performance.
“Did you write all these?” Liu Yue looked at Jiang Xu in utter shock. Jiang – – the scribe – – Xu nodded with a smile, “I was suddenly struck by inspiration and wrote a few.”
“You need to arrange for the singers quickly, I want to see the finished products within a week.”
Liu Yue’s emotions settled only after a long while.
In a wistful tone, she said, “Ah, if only I were ten years younger, I would definitely throw myself at you.”
Jiang Xu thought to himself, your name is about to be known nationwide as
’good people’s crowd’.
Even if you were younger and prettier, I wouldn’t dare.
“Clack clack clack…”
The sound of high heels rapidly scraping against the floor came closer.
It was Zhou Qingyue, who upon hearing of Jiang Xu’s arrival, hurried over.
She was wearing a long white dress and no makeup.
Perhaps because of her rising status, her demeanor had elevated as well. She no longer had the youthful naivety typical for her age.
She gave off an easygoing impression, as if she could effortlessly take control of the whole scene.
“Brother Xu, long time no see,” Zhou Qingyue said shyly.
Both Jiang Xu and Liu Yue couldn’t help but shiver.
Liu Yue immediately stood up, “I’ll be leaving first, you young people take your time chatting.”
She could clearly see that Zhou Qingyue had a ‘thief’s heart’ for Jiang Xu all along.
She had also advised her numerous times that it was impossible for anything to blossom between her and Jiang Xu.
But Zhou Qingyue was stubborn.
She had made up her mind that it had to be Jiang Xu in this lifetime.
Even when, after her rise to fame, a long line of wealthy suitors came after her, she didn’t spare them a second glance.
Jiang Xu said with irritation, “Don’t call me that, only Nuonuo can call me that way.”
“Brother Xu, Brother Xu, Brother Xu…” Zhou Qingyue stuck out her tongue at Jiang Xu, “That’s what I’m calling you, what can you do about it?
Jiang Xu was speechless.
Too lazy to bicker with her, he stood up, ready to leave.
“Hey, wait,” Zhou Qingyue stopped Jiang Xu.
Then she closed the door of the meeting room and locked it from the inside.
Following that…
“Rip!”
She grabbed her dress collar and yanked it hard.
Her white dress was torn off by her.
Jiang Xu instinctively took a step back. Damn, this woman couldn’t be trying to frame him for assault?
“How about it, do I look good in this outfit?”
Zhou Qingyue posed in an ‘S’ shape in front of Jiang Xu, her face blushing as she spoke.
She was wearing a pair of very short denim shorts, both stylish and close-fitting.
They perfectly displayed her long, well-defined leg lines.
Her legs were long and symmetrical, with clear muscle definition, looking healthy and full of vitality.
Her upper body was clothed in a white tank top, revealing slender shoulders and a delicate collarbone.
The tank top’s design was simple and unpretentious, highlighting her elegant demeanor.
Under the lighting, her skin seemed even more fair and delicate, almost reflecting a dazzling light.
Perhaps due to regular dancing, Zhou Qingyue’s figure was slender and balanced, with beautiful curves.
Her waist was slim, creating a stark contrast with her full bust, further accentuating her feminine allure.
Her black hair was thick and soft, her eyes bright and expressive.
Her feet were adorned with silver-white high heels, adding to her poised stature.
Her ten delicate toenails were painted with a light pink polish, looking exceedingly refined.
The whole person exuded a confidence and grace.
This ensemble was infuriatingly attractive.
Jiang Xu couldn’t help but massage his forehead, “Tell me, Zhou Qingyue, what are you planning now?”
