Translator: 549690339
Ally and her sister Avi have now become indispensable to Jiang Xu.
Their abilities have been fully acknowledged by Jiang Xu.
If they were poached, Jiang Xu would be seriously inconvenienced, and his workload would surge.
Ally said with a stern tone, “Boss, as long as you need us, my sister and I will always serve you faithfully and never betray you!”
It was Jiang Xu who had taken them in during their hardest times.
It was the generous salary he provided that led to their current status.
The sisters had never considered betraying him.
Jiang Xu smiled and said, “That’s good to hear, stick with me.
While I can’t promise billions in assets in the future, one or two billion is still within reach.”
Ally quickly swore an oath.
After their talk, Zhou Qingyue sent a message via WeChat: Have you and Nuonuo returned?
Jiang Xu: Yes.
A few minutes later, Zhou Qingyue sent two screenshots.
Jiang Xu clicked to look and saw screenshots of her purchasing stocks of Nuomimi Novel and Nuomi Comics.
Immediately after, she sent a message: I’ve invested an additional fifty million in Nuomimi Novel and thirty million in Nuomi Comics.
How’s that? Aren’t I amazing? Always so supportive of you.
The woman was indeed clever.
Seeing the stock prices had fallen significantly, she seized the opportunity to buy more.
She was bound to make a big profit soon.
Jiang Xu replied briefly before returning to his study to continue working.
Two days passed quickly.
Online, the public opinion regarding Jiang Xu continued to ferment and was becoming more intense.
Early in the morning, Jiang Xu left the house.
He brought several company photographers with him to the official office of Magic City.
Today, they had arranged to do an interview with Magic City’s officials.
It was regarding the day Jiang Xu donated antiques and provided the seller’s information.
After the interview, Magic City’s officials agreed with Jiang Xu to release clarification at the same time, stating he was not a rarity and had not immigrated.
After the photographers returned, they edited the material.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xu posted on his Weibo account:
Hello friends and fans, good afternoon.
In recent days, there has been an outpouring of comments and slander about me.
Originally, I did not want to pay attention to it, but now the situation is becoming more exaggerated, causing significant impact.
I will release a clarification announcement at eight o’clock tonight.
If you want to see it immediately, you can download ‘Daily Headlines’.
Such massive traffic would be a waste not to use.
This is an opportunity to make ‘Daily Headlines’ known to the public.
Once the traffic reaches a certain level, we can proceed to the next step.
Without our own platform to speak out, it’s like being tied hand and foot.
If Jiang Xu gains control of the mainstream media platform,
he won’t need to be so calculating in the face of such situations in the future.
He can simply ban accounts as necessary.
It wasn’t long after the Weibo post went live that numerous comments appeared.
But most of them were from trolls.
‘Heh, with the facts already set in stone, what’s the point of clarifying?’
‘Get out of our country!’
‘I spent quite a bit of money in your company’s games, refund me!’
‘Scum, degenerate!’
Jiang Xu glanced at it casually and didn’t take it to heart.
These comments were either from trolls or hots.
It wasn’t interesting to confront them, and he had no intention of deleting these comments.
Moreover, the more comments there were, the higher the visibility, and the more people who would see them.
In the office building at the top of Magic City,
Jin Zhizhang, holding a coffee in one hand and enjoying the service of five newly recruited female secretaries, looked at the data on his computer and couldn’t help but sneer:
“Hehe, Jiang Xu, your biggest mistake is opposing Sangsang.
Although your strength and business talent are indeed good, compared to Sangsang, you’re still too weak.
Clarification? Useless. The public opinion is now under my control.
Besides kneeling down and surrendering, you won’t have any other choice.”
After Sangsang acquired Zhang Xiaofeng’s entertainment company in the country, they transferred Jin Zhizhang over to take charge here.
Although he was a bit sleazy, lecherous, clumsy, and ugly, his capabilities were still very strong.
At this moment, he felt that he had the situation well in hand.
Little did he know, Jiang Xu’s guillotine for him was about to fall.
Around seven o’clock in the evening, Jiang Xu checked the download count in the backend of “Daily Headlines”.
It had broken four million.
The number of registered users also passed three million.
This was because Jiang Xu had set up a system that required users to register before they could comment.
Currently, there were still many apps that allowed guests to comment without registering.
That’s why there were so many and such rampant water armies.
The content on “Daily Headlines” was still quite abundant.
All of it came from the several media companies of average scale that were acquired.
Although of average scale, years of material accumulation, when integrated together, was still massive.
There was no worry about users running out of things to watch in the short term.
The clarification video had already been recorded by Jiang Xu.
At eight o’clock sharp, it was released on schedule.
As expected, as soon as it was released, it was met with a barrage of mocking, boycotting, and various other abuses from netizens.
Jiang Xu opened Magic City TV station calmly.
At this time, the Magic City officials also released a statement punctually:
“Good evening to all the national viewers and citizens, I am Deputy Director Liu from the Magic City Officials.”
“Today, I have something to announce to everyone, which is that celebrated entrepreneur Mr. Jiang Xu has, two days ago, transported back more than a thousand antiques that had been illegally taken abroad from Eagle Country.”
“These antiques are worth over a billion, but more importantly, they have high research value. If they were to spread abroad, it would cause significant damage to the integrity of our country’s culture and history.”
“Fortunately, Mr. Jiang Xu was in Eagle Country at the time and witnessed this event. He spent a lot of money to have these antiques and cultural relics transported back.”
“Patriotic entrepreneurs like Mr. Jiang Xu are exemplary figures we should all learn from.”
“Here, I would like to express Magic City Officials’ sincerest gratitude to Mr. Jiang Xu on behalf of everyone!”
Following that was the footage of Jiang Xu’s interview.
The length reached half an hour.
In the interview, Jiang Xu also answered various questions, as well as addressed some of the external doubts and so on.
After this segment of the interview video ended, the scene switched back to Deputy Director Liu.
“I believe that after watching this video, everyone will have a clearer understanding of Mr. Jiang Xu.”
“Finally, I would like to clarify one more issue.”
“Regarding the recent online smears and rumors about Mr. Jiang Xu and his girlfriend emigrating abroad and transferring assets.”
“I would like to state solemnly here that these are all groundless.”
“Mr. Jiang Xu and his girlfriend’s appearance in Eagle Country was for overseas investment, completely legal and compliant.”
“If certain individuals continue to attack, what awaits you will be the severe punishment of the law!”
