Chapter 638: 638 Alright, so this is how you want to play?
Seeing this message, Jiang Xu immediately had images in his mind, and his eyes were shining.
He wasn’t interested in other girls, just curious about what An Nuonuo was wearing.
He really wanted to go, but thinking that Zhang Yuanyuan was also there, he decided against it.
He’d wait until the evening and have Nuonuo wear it for him alone.
Jiang Xu turned back and headed towards the competition venue.
The final of the “Campus Hunk Contest” was being held in the gymnasium.
When it was built, it was made as large as possible.
The stadium could hold up to fifty thousand people.
Approaching the gymnasium, Jiang Xu saw it was already packed.
All were supporter groups for popular contestants from various campuses.
Each holding banners, cheering for their “brothers.”
Hmm, at a glance, it was all beauties, hardly any guys.
During the “School Beauty” contest, it was mostly guys.
When it’s the “Campus Hunks,” it’s only natural for the gender to switch.
And the profits from the “Campus Hunk” contest were much higher than the “School Beauty” contest.
These fervent fans were really willing to spend money.
All kinds of advertisement, support, and so on, they were all very generous.
Some wealthy ones would even advertise on big screens in prime locations in first-tier cities.
However, Jiang Xu was somewhat conscientious, not allowing minors under eighteen to participate in official activities.
It was a pity that “Brother Kun” was only twelve or thirteen now. If “it” joined this contest, would there be any reason for others to compete?
Jiang Xu made a phone call to Avi.
“Boss.”
“Go find someone called Cai Xuji for me, twelve or thirteen years old this year, distinguishable by…”
Got to find Cai Xuji in advance, and get it back in the cage.
Avi was puzzled but didn’t ask any questions, and agreed.
After watching outside the gymnasium for a while, Jiang Xu left.
On the way, he received calls from several members of the business association.
They had also arrived at Spirit Turtle Island.
Jiang Xu was surprised, then quickly went to meet them.
Two President Mas, plus President Liu from the antivirus software company, had all come.
Each one had a powerful presence, not something ordinary people would dare approach.
But when they saw Jiang Xu, their imposing demeanor vanished instantly, and they greeted him with big smiles.
After exchanging pleasantries, Jiang Xu asked them why they came during this time.
Their unified response was that they came with their wives and daughters who enjoyed watching the “Campus Hunk Contest.”
Then, they introduced their wives and daughters to Jiang Xu.
Some of the girls were around Jiang Xu’s age.
They all seemed shy upon seeing him.
Their looks and figures weren’t bad either.
The bosses even smilingly asked their daughters to add Jiang Xu’s contact information.
Jiang Xu quickly sensed something was amiss.
These executives, could they be trying to set up their daughters with him?
The thought flashed through his mind, but Jiang Xu didn’t take it seriously.
Instead, he politely added a few of the girls as friends.
Then Jiang Xu took them around for a tour.
Soon, they reached the residential area.
Hmm, this was Jiang Xu’s doing.
And the topics he chose to discuss were deliberately steered in this direction.
Being old foxes, how could they not pick up on the subtext in Jiang Xu’s words?
One by one, they laughed and said that once the houses here were built, they would definitely buy a few.
After this little chat, Jiang Xu had caught on.
These business tycoons showing up at this time weren’t really here to watch the game with their wives and daughters.
Their real purpose was to ride on the coattails of popularity.
After all, the ‘school hunk’ was currently even more popular than the ‘school beauty’ had been.
The fans alone who came to the island numbered more than two hundred thousand.
There were also a massive number of media outlets, and some minor celebrities came to join in on the excitement, hoping to get noticed.
Now Spirit Turtle Island was the center of attention for the outside world.
Even these magnates were drawn here.
Since that was the case, Jiang Xu was no longer polite with them.
You want to capitalize on popularity, sure.
Then I’ll take advantage of yours, too.
After the competition was over, he would spread the news that these tycoons had bought houses here.
Then blast out the advertisement: The chance to be neighbors with domestic business magnates is right before your eyes, don’t miss out as you pass by…
There were plenty of people in the country who wanted to strike up a conversation with these top magnates.
Once the news got out, the price of houses here would definitely skyrocket to a terrifying level.
Even to prevent them from backing out, Jiang Xu had someone bring over the contracts for purchasing houses on the spot.
This island belonged to Jiang Xu, and he directly approved all the necessary paperwork himself.
The magnates: ???
Alright, alright, we’re playing it this way, huh?
Kid, you really do have a business mind and don’t want to lose out on anything, huh?
The magnates reluctantly laughed but still signed their names.
Aside from other factors, this place was indeed very suitable for vacations.
Just for a three-story villa that was still unfinished, you’re charging me five hundred million, isn’t that a bit too pricey?
Jiang Xu had an innocent look, pretending he didn’t see the ‘grievous’ looks in the magnates’ eyes.
In the evening, Jiang Xu organized a dinner and invited them all to eat together.
He called over all his friends.
This was to expand everyone’s network.
Zhou Qingyue was also there, but she was singing.
It couldn’t be helped, she was still an artist under Jiang Xu’s company, and she had to perform at an occasion like this.
Zhou Qingyue, watching everyone else eating and drinking below her while she was the only one performing so strenuously, felt saddened and even more humiliated.
Even Bai Xiaoya, who didn’t have as much as her, could sit down there, drink with the magnates, and make some conversation.
And she could only be a heartless source of entertainment.
The huge disparity almost made her go off-key while singing.
No one noticed, except for An Nuonuo.
This kind-hearted girl, watching Zhou Qingyue on stage, seemed to guess something.
As soon as Zhou Qingyue finished a song, An Nuonuo stood up, walked up, and pulled her down to sit by her side.
She smiled and introduced her to the magnates, “This is Zhou Qingyue, my good friend.”
Although Zhou Qingyue had done something terribly wrong last time, which made An Nuonuo very angry,
It had been so long since then, and she was no longer angry.
Seeing how ‘pitiful’ Zhou Qingyue looked now, she couldn’t bear to let her stay up there any longer.
Zhou Qingyue was stunned, her emotions complex.
At this moment, a strong sense of guilt arose in her heart.
She had always regarded An Nuonuo as an enemy, a competitor.
But An Nuonuo had always treated her like one of her own.
The comparison made it clear who was superior.
At that moment, Zhou Qingyue finally understood.
Why Jiang Xu was so infatuated with An Nuonuo.
Aside from external factors, what was more important was that An Nuonuo’s nature was just too kind.
Zhou Qingyue bit her lip tightly; at that moment, she made an immensely important decision!
