Taking advantage of the beauty being poor, fooling her into being my girlfriend

Chapter 670: Brother Xu, There’s No One Around, Should We…

Where is Jiang Xu’s character to speak of when it comes to “bullying” An Nuonuo?

As a result, when An Nuonuo woke up the next day, she felt as if her whole skeleton had loosened up.

He had no choice, Jiang Xu had been drinking the night before.

Although he took a hangover remedy, it wasn’t a hundred percent effective.

An Nuonuo got up, got dressed, washed up, and when she stepped out, she heard Jiang Xu arguing with Jiang Xiaoyan in the living room.

“I didn’t, stop talking nonsense.”

“Hmph, I don’t believe it. I’ve been drinking every day for the past six months, and my tolerance is so good, how could I not outdrink you? You must have cheated.”

“If you can’t handle it, there’s no need to make so many excuses.”

“I did not. Let’s compete again. I will definitely drink you under the table.”

“No more drinking, I want to take Nuonuo out for fun.”

“Let’s have a showdown to the death!”

“Childish.”

“Super Saiyan–transform!”

An Nuonuo walked into the living room and saw the two staring each other down, neither willing to back down.

She found it somewhat amusing.

Put those two together and it’s like they never grew up.

In the end, it was An Nuonuo who separated them before the argument could continue.

Half an hour later, the three of them sat at the dining table.

Jiang Xiaoyan was wolfing down the breakfast An Nuonuo had made.

She praised it now and then.

“Mmm, Nuonuo’s cooking is really good.”

“Wuwuwu, I finally get to taste the flavor of home.”

“You guys don’t even know; the food here is okay once in a while, but eating too much makes you want to throw up.”

The company Jiang Xiaoyan worked for did have a Chinese chef, but the food prepared couldn’t quite compare to An Nuonuo’s; it was missing something.

As for what that something was, Jiang Xiaoyan couldn’t quite say.

“Right,” Jiang Xu asked, “the matter about the weapons you mentioned last time… how is it going?”

Jiang Xiaoyan looked up.

First she glanced at An Nuonuo, then turned to Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu: “She and I are one and the same. There’s no need to hide anything.”

Jiang Xiaoyan felt sour inside.

Wow, ‘she and I are one and the same’, just watch your backs or I might break your dog legs.

But she said out loud: “The preliminary talks went well, but we don’t have a place to store them yet.”

This was a problem.

Regarding those three locations, Jiang Xu still couldn’t afford them yet.

And it wasn’t just a matter of buying them.

After purchasing, various renovations and constructions were needed.

Of course, the most important issue was manpower.

Trustworthy people had to be sent there, armed with weapons.

About the manpower issue, Jiang Xu had already asked Liu Dahai to secretly select a group for training half a year ago.

These people were handpicked with care.

In addition to being physically strong, the most important thing was that they came from average families, but their parents were healthy, and they all had wives and children.

Only such people could be controlled.

In the future, when they were sent over, Jiang Xu would take good care of their families to ensure they had no worries.

Of course, he also harbored the intention of keeping a hold on them.

A balance of grace and severity was necessary to ensure they would not develop a traitorous heart in the future.

Even if they did, they would have to weigh the consequences.

After breakfast, Jiang Xu planned to visit that supplier.

Jiang Xiaoyan nodded in agreement.

An Nuonuo stayed at home.

She wouldn’t be bored.

Just today it’s snowing heavily, so she can take photos in the backyard.

Jiang Xu and Jiang Xiaoyan had finished meeting with the supplier and it was already past three in the afternoon.

Rarely having the chance to be alone with Jiang Xu, Jiang Xiaoyan didn’t want him to go back so soon.

So she said, “I want to eat ice cream, can you buy some for me?”

Jiang Xu looked around and said, “Sure, just wait a moment.”

He crossed the street and bought two ice creams.

Eating ice cream in the winter actually doesn’t affect the body much.

If it were summer, the environment outside would be hot, and if you suddenly ate something very cold, the rapid change from hot to cold could actually harm the spleen and stomach.

But in winter, since the inside and outside temperatures are the same, it’s not a problem.

Jiang Xu came back with the ice creams, and the two of them stood by the riverside.

As they ate their ice creams, they watched the already frozen river where, at intervals, someone had chiseled round holes for ice fishing.

At that moment, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, adding a touch of beauty to the scene.

Jiang Xiaoyan took out her phone, leaned her head towards Jiang Xu, and snapped a few photos with a click.

She maintained a certain distance from Jiang Xu, with not the slightest physical touch between them.

She, in fact, wanted to cling to Jiang Xu, hug him, and maybe even more.

But she knew that doing so would definitely displease Jiang Xu and even drive him away.

She didn’t want that to happen.

Over the years, Jiang Xiaoyan had really changed a lot for Jiang Xu.

If it were according to her old personality,

having taken a fancy to Jiang Xu, if he was unwilling, she would have directly had someone kidnap him.

Then lock him in the basement, where he would be served in all kinds of grand ways every day.

Well and truly trained.

Now, Jiang Xiaoyan was even considering ‘laying down the sword.’

After eating one ice cream, Jiang Xu asked, “How much is your total asset worth now?”

Jiang Xiaoyan finished the last bite of her ice cream.

She stuck out her tongue and licked around her lips, consuming any leftover ice cream.

This action was quite seductive, causing Jiang Xu to subtly avert his gaze.

Jiang Xiaoyan chuckled inwardly.

It seems you can’t really be indifferent to desire.

Her reply came, “Three hundred billion, I guess. It looks like a distant dream to reach a trillion, but it’s probably just a matter of a few years.”

She was different from Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu was a lone fighter, but she had her father.

Everything her dad was doing now was for paving the way for Jiang Xiaoyan, and many plans hadn’t come to fruition yet.

When the time was ripe, businesses would blossom everywhere, and wealth would naturally flow in.

Jiang Xu was somewhat surprised but also felt an upsurge of expectation.

In this way, in a few more years, they would be able to go out.

Owning a piece of land that would forever belong to themselves was something every man aspired to have.

Moreover, having a piece of land that truly was one’s own was the real establishment of a safe harbor.

Though it didn’t mean invincibility, at least with such a place, even if a great crisis arose, there would be a refuge, an opportunity for a comeback.

“What about you?” Jiang Xiaoyan asked in return.

Jiang Xu smiled calmly, his eyes filled with a commanding presence: “Quickly, one or two years, or slowly, three to five years, my assets will be at least five trillion as a base!”

This wasn’t him boasting.

It was because he held several top-tier trump cards in his hands.

New energy battery companies, mobile operating systems, mobile chip manufacturing technologies, artificial intelligence, screen manufacturing, plus a small portion of 5G technology.

All of these were still like bamboo shoots buried in the ground, silently accumulating power.

Once enough power had been amassed, they would rapidly break through the soil and grow into a vast bamboo forest!

Jiang Xiaoyan’s eyes were intoxicated as she gazed at Jiang Xu.

She liked Jiang Xu’s domineering demeanor; it was truly bewitching.

She closed her eyes, her red lips parting slightly: “Brother Xu, no one’s around, shall we…”
