Chapter 350: 350 Unexpected Gains_l
In the dream, he married An Nuonuo, and later on became the world’s richest man.
It was at this moment that he woke up.
He felt waves of soreness throughout his body.
The pungent smell of antiseptic invaded his nostrils incessantly.
He was in a hospital.
His left hand was pierced with a needle, receiving an IV.
An Nuonuo was dozing off by the edge of the bed.
Jiang Xu gently touched her head.
An Nuonuo jerked her head up as if shocked by electricity.
Upon seeing Jiang Xu awake, she grabbed his hand.
Without saying a word, she just kept on crying.
This made Jiang Xu feel extremely guilty and uncomfortable.
If An Nuonuo had lost her temper and scolded him, he wouldn’t have felt so bad.
But the way she was, not saying anything, crying with her tears falling like rain, threw Jiang Xu off balance.
He quickly took her into his arms, “AU right, stop crying. I was wrong, I won’t do such dangerous things again.’1
An Nuonuo still kept crying.
Since Jiang Xu had fallen into a coma, she did not know how many times she had cried.
Although the doctors said that he was not seriously harmed, just some dislocation in his back bones, and that he would be fine after a few days of rest, she still couldn’t help but worry.
She had not even dared to tell their parents about this incident.
After a few minutes of comforting from Jiang Xu, An Nuonuo finally stopped crying.
Then, grabbing the arm of Jiang Xu that was not receiving the IV, she bit down hard on it.
Jiang Xu didn’t struggle, letting her bite him.
“From now on… without my permission, you’re not allowed to do such dangerous things,” An Nuonuo said with a voice choked with sobs, “Otherwise,
I will ignore you for a whole month.”
Jiang Xu raised his hands, “Okay, I promise you.”
Looking back on it now, he still found it quite unbelievable.
He was the kind of person who was extremely afraid of death.
But at that time, he had rushed into the blaze without much hesitation.
At the end of the day, he just couldn’t bear to see so many children wither away so easily.
And luckily, he didn’t end up with any serious problems.
“By the way!” Jiang Xu asked, “Have they found the cause of the accident and how severe were the casualties?”
Jiang Xu didn’t think to blame the person hiding behind the scenes.
After all, going to the concert was just a spur-of-the-moment idea from An Nuonuo.
Unless, that person was Bai Xiaoya.
But that was obviously unlikely.
It couldn’t have been that person.
This was a major accident, and if it was man-made, the authorities would definitely investigate at all costs.
No one could withstand their fury.
Even a fool wouldn’t dare to do such a thing.
An Nuonuo said, “The cause of the accident was a construction quality issue, and as for the casualties… over two hundred people were injured, but no one died.”
Jiang Xu was astonished, “There were no casualties?”
He found it somewhat incredible.
At that time, with the crowd being so tight and the stampede, not to mention the size of the fire,
he had thought the casualties would be devastating.
What Jiang Xu didn’t know was that An Nuonuo had also exerted a lot of effort in this event.
One could even say her contributions were greater than Jiang Xu’s.
Without her taking the lead and having many of the bodyguards command the evacuation at each passageway, they wouldn’t have been able to hold on until the firefighters arrived.
The casualties would have been horrific.
“Oh, our benefactor, you’re awake!”
“That’s wonderful.”
“We’ve all been so worried about you.”
At this moment, the door to the ward was pushed open, and several middle-aged men and women came in.
Upon seeing Jiang Xu awake, everyone was extremely excited.
An Nuonuo explained beside him, “They are the parents of the child you saved, Brother Xu.
Since you passed out yesterday, they have been waiting outside the entire time. And they paid for the hospital bills.”
Jiang Xu nodded and smiled, saying there was no need to be so polite.
He didn’t expect any reward for saving people at that time.
But the actions of these parents were indeed quite heartwarming.
At least they weren’t ungrateful, not like those who think it’s only natural after you save their child.
Although few, such people do exist.
And when you meet them, they can make you feel utterly disgusted.
The parents expressed their concerns for Jiang Xu’s wellbeing and only relaxed after ensuring he was fine.
Then, each of them took out a thick red envelope, insisting that Jiang Xu accept it.
It was as if they would kneel indefinitely if he refused to take it.
Left with no other option, Jiang Xu could only accept it.
The parents then left first, allowing Jiang Xu to rest properly.
Not long after the parents left, a knock on the door was heard.
An Nuonuo responded, and a female bodyguard came in and said, “Mr. Jiang,
Miss An, SZ from Magic City has arrived.”
Both of their expressions became serious.
Jiang Xu was about to get out of bed when they already entered.
Very low-key, apart from SZ, only two young people followed.
“Hey hey hey, don’t get up, lie down and rest properly,” SZ stopped Jiang Xu and laughed, “You’re the hero of Magic City, and I should be the one thanking you.”
These words were indeed true.
Jiang Xu, of course, modestly said that it was just what he, a simple citizen, should do.
SZ, being very busy, after seeing that Jiang Xu was alright, said, “You two, as a couple, have performed very well.
After discussing internally, we’ve decided to appoint both of you as the image ambassadors for Magic City.”
“This…”
Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo looked at each other, both showing expressions of surprise.
This could be said to be an unexpected gain.
Naturally, they wouldn’t refuse.
“Good, then you should rest well,” SZ said. “I have other business to attend to
now, but in a couple of days, an official announcement will be released.”
Jiang Xu asked An Nuonuo to see SZ out.
Despite the title of city image ambassador not being a position,
it still represents the face of a city.
Having this title, whether for Jiang Xu’s future business or safety, would bring significant benefits.
An Nuonuo returned very quickly.
She handed her phone to Jiang Xu saying, “Brother, look, we’re famous now.” On Weibo, every major news outlet was reporting on the incident.
There wasn’t just the video of Jiang Xu repeatedly rushing into the fire to save the children.
But also the footage of An Nuonuo staying calm in the face of danger, directing everyone to safety.
These were all captured by nearby surveillance, and they were very clear.
They completely restored the scene at that time.
Then, the identities of Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo were also dug up by the omnipotent netizens.
The status of being the national top scholar of the year, as well as the affairs of the many companies under Jiang Xu’s name, were also unearthed.
Countless netizens were shocked.
Many were joking, “At the age of eighteen or nineteen, I still have to ask my mom if I can drink the milk guests bring home.
But him, he’s already worth billions.”
Simply the cream of the crop.
Jiang Xu watched for a while, somewhat bemused.
He actually didn’t want to be famous, but now he had no choice in the matter. Noticing An Nuonuo’s heavy dark circles, she must not have slept well either. He took her hand, drawing her into his embrace, “You rest for a bit.” “Bang!”
Just at that moment, the door was pushed open.
