Kapitel 116: Chapter 116: I've Never Seen This Operation Before
"Hello, can I help you?"
The manager of the shop was called over.
Jiang Xu pointed to the twenty-nine boxed cakes on the store counter, "All of these together are $12,152, correct?"
The manager checked the order and nodded, "That's correct."
Jiang Xu said, "Well, refund these cakes, and give me back $10,000."
Manager: "???"
He had never encountered such a situation before.
Jiang Xu coughed, "The one who paid for these earlier was my sister, we had a fight, which is why I purchased so many.
We can't finish them all, it would be a waste to take them home.
If you refund $10,000, you'll still make a profit. It's not a loss for you.
I have money, I will come here often.
Whether you can keep me as a long-term customer depends on your vision."
The manager pondered for a moment and then agreed.
There's no way to return coffee once it's prepared.
But there's no issue with returning cakes.
Their business was doing well, they were not worried about selling cakes.
If they managed to retain a long-term customer through this, it would definitely be profitable.
So, this time, Jiang Xu made a total profit of $510,000.
He directly went to the bank and exchanged the money.
A few hours later, one million was deposited into his account.
Jiang Xu, delighted, phoned An Nuonuo.
She should have returned home by now.
"Hello~"
As soon as the call connected, Nuonuo's shaky voice came through.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xu's heart tightened.
"No...nothing," Nuonuo weakly responded.
But Jiang Xu immediately recognized, she had been crying.
His mind raced.
Jiang Xu asked, "Did you take the things I told you earlier to heart?"
Looking back.
In the cafe, after he said those words to Nuonuo, that wasn't acting.
She had internalized his words.
She genuinely thought Jiang Xu wanted to cut ties.
"This silly girl..."
A wave of affection flooded Jiang Xu's heart, "Forget about those things. The money has arrived, give me your card."
"No, you keep it. You need money for the business."
Nuonuo had said this many times before.
Jiang Xu naturally couldn't keep the money they had earned together.
However, on the other side of the phone, Nuonuo was still unwilling to accept it.
After thinking it over, Jiang Xu said, "How about we buy a house tomorrow?
We'll put both our names on the property title and make it our secret base."
Nuonuo didn't want to take the money directly, but she was definitely tempted by Jiang Xu's proposal.
A secret base known only to her and Jiang Xu.
Just thinking about it made her happy.
"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow."
Jiang Xu chuckled, "Did you miss me?"
"No...not at all."
"So you did."
"You're horrible, I'm going to tell auntie you're bullying me again."
Jiang Xu quickly backed down.
He couldn't afford to mess with Lord Chen Yue.
Suddenly, Nuonuo said, "She's here...I have to go."
Jiang Xu asked, "Zhang Xiaohui?"
"Mhm."
Jiang Xu instructed, "When you leave, keep a poker face, and don't say a word.
If she asks about us, just say we're doing great.
Make that old lady furious, understand?"
"Got it. Can you please swear less?"
Jiang Xu laughed mischievously, "Fine, after we have kids, I'll only use those words when talking to them."
An Nuonuo: "Huh???"
Jiang Xu: "Nevermind, go handle her."
"Oh, bye."
Ending the call, Jiang Xu had just gotten home.
He placed the coffee he was holding in front of Lin Nan, "You guys have been working hard, I bought this especially for you.
However, there was a slight delay on the road, so it's a little cold."
All of the employees unanimously praised their boss.
Jiang Xu then discussed the current status of the book inventory with Lin Nan.
There were about 300 books.
The majority were in the genres of Fantasy, Urban, and Xianxia.
A small portion were in the genres of Historical, Western Fantasy, and others.
About 160 of the books were over two million words long.
A few writers were very quick, and had exceeded three million words in a few books.
However, upon inspection, Jiang Xu found the quality to be acceptable, there were just a few more typos than usual.
Jiang Xu had enough money to continue for quite some time.
So, after returning to the second floor, he made some changes to the layout of the earlier books and sent them to Lin Nan.
After all, most books had similar structures.
A modified outline given to a different person would result in a completely different story.
Current readers had not seen much of anything.
As long as it wasn't written too badly, they were willing to read it.
With this, by winter vacation, they could stock up to a thousand books with over a million words each.
Once the website's reputation started to build, authors would naturally be attracted to it.
That night.
Jiang Xu was typing in his room.
The chapter for that evening was important.
The protagonist was about to take in the little fairy doctor.
In the original book, this part was not included, but Jiang Xu added it in.
But right as he was getting to the part where the male lead and female lead were about to compare their martial arts skills, there was a knock at the door.
It couldn't be anyone other than Jiang Xiaoyan.
Jiang Xu, filled with fury, stormed over to open the door.
However, as soon as he opened the door, his anger dissipated.
It couldn't be helped, Jiang Xiaoyan was wearing a gold cheongsam that evening.
She had even applied light makeup and removed her glasses.
She instantly transformed from an obedient girl into a mature woman.
Of course, that wasn't the focus.
The main point was, she was very generous.
As for what type of generosity it was, those who knew understood; there's no need to explain further for those who didn't.
Jiang Xiaoyan posed, "How do I look, brother?"
Jiang Xu reluctantly said, "Average."
"Sure, you say one thing but mean another," Jiang Xiaoyan pouted, "I came to say goodbye, I'm leaving tomorrow."
Jiang Xu's eyes lit up, "Really? That's good news."
"Ah, wait." Jiang Xu held back his joy and put on a 'grieved' face, "Don't go, I can't bear it."
Jiang Xiaoyan chuckled, "Okay, I promise you, I won't leave."
Jiang Xu: "..."
This damn woman is toying with me.
"Pff."
Seeing Jiang Xu's frustrated look, Jiang Xiaoyan burst into laughter.
"Alright, I was just kidding. I'll be back within a week at most, aren't you happy?"
"Oh, I'm thrilled," Jiang Xu replied nonchalantly, "Go do your thing, I'm busy."
Jiang Xiaoyan clung onto his arm, "Don't you want to know what I'm going to do, you heartless man.
After I handed everything over to you, this is how you treat me?"
Jiang Xu was used to her nonsense and didn't bother to argue.
He rolled his eyes, "Alright then, go on, what are you going to do?"
Jiang Xiaoyan chuckled mischievously, "My dad found out about me getting a fever last time.
So, he went to find my mom and gave her a good scolding.
Then, hehe, can you guess what happened afterwards?"
