章 154: Chapter 154 Jiang Xu: Auntie, you've got the wrong person, I'm not a good person.
From up close, the girl's face was exquisitely beautiful, without a single flaw.
She resembled a porcelain doll that appeared fragile enough to crack under gentle pressure.
Her innocent wide eyes were fixed on Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu felt a bit embarrassed under her gaze.
He stepped back, touching his nose, "At least look a bit scared, or I'll seem like an idiot."
An Nuonuo earnestly replied, "I know you won't harm me."
Jiang Xu ruffled her hair, "Remember, you can only trust me alone.
Aside from me, none of the other guys in the world are good."
An Nuonuo blankly responded, "Does this include your dad too?"
Jiang Xu pinched her face, "I was referring to boys, silly girl."
The girl pouted in unhappiness.
Jiang Xu burst out laughing.
The two sat down.
An Nuonuo had bought quite a lot of barbecue. The moment it was opened, the aroma spread out.
Jiang Xu took a bite of the roasted chicken wing and asked, "What made you suddenly think of buying me barbecue?"
"I thought you might be hungry after working late every day," An Nuonuo said, somewhat shyly.
Jiang Xu smiled in satisfaction.
Even though, at present, they were only classmates.
But An Nuonuo's attentiveness toward Jiang Xu was better than that of most couples.
"Yes, but from now on, let me know before going out late at night. It can be a bit dangerous," Jiang Xu advised.
"I'm not afraid." An Nuonuo softly said, "My dad arranged a female bodyguard for me. She protects me secretly."
At least Mr. An had some conscience, knowing to love his daughter.
He had to speed up in dealing with the matter of Zhang Xiaohui.
If she were to have a son, and An Feng favored his son more and couldn't bear to handle the situation, it would be troublesome.
While eating the barbecue and drinking cola, across there was an extraordinarily beautiful girl smelling all sweet and fragrant.
This life was simply too delightful.
They ate and drank till their heart's content. It was already half-past ten.
Jiang Xu's eyes shone, "It's too late, stay over for the night.
Since you brought your clothes along, it would be unsafe to return this late."
An Nuonuo hesitated, "Can't you just take me home?"
Jiang Xu righteously replied, "Aren't I also vulnerable to danger? It isn't safe for a boy to be out so late either."
An Nuonuo: "..."
She was somewhat regretful about coming here. Now, she felt like she had boarded a pirate ship.
Eventually, after Jiang Xu coaxed her, she decided to stay.
This made Jiang Xu quite excited.
The first step in a long journey was already taken.
Although An Nuonuo was staying on the second floor and him on the first.
But this was a good start.
"Come this way, miss," Jiang Xu ardently led An Nuonuo upstairs.
The shrinking of the girl's neck gave the impression of entering a wolf's lair.
"I... can go alone; you should go rest," An Nuonuo meekly said.
"Alright, I'll go rest then. Call me if you need anything," Jiang Xu said so seriously, "To prevent any accidents from happening.
It's better not to shut your door while sleeping at night.
Rest assured, I'm a gentleman and won't do anything."
"Oh, I got it; Goodnight then."
An Nuonuo waved her little hand and walked into her bedroom.
At the sound of 'click,' Jiang Xu heard the door being locked.
He heard An Nuonuo's silver-bell-like laughter.
Immediately, he gritted his teeth. This sly girl, she definitely did it on purpose.
Damn!
The next day, when Jiang Xu woke up, he saw that An Nuonuo had already made breakfast.
On the table was a steaming bowl of egg noodles.
Jiang Xu grinned at her, "Go brush your teeth and wash your face, and then we will eat."
"Okay."
By the time Jiang Xu finished brushing his teeth and returned, An Nuonuo had taken out his backpack and notebook and arranged them neatly.
Jiang Xu was moved.
Could it be that because he had suffered so much in his previous life with the woman, Zhou Qingyue, he was blessed with a girl as wonderful as An Nuonuo in this life?
He sat down and took a bite of the noodles.
Indeed, An Nuonuo's cooking skills were beyond doubt.
"By the way, did your mother say anything yesterday?"
An Nuonuo also sat down.
She ate her food very elegantly, in small bites. Very graceful.
At his words, she spoke softly, "My mother knows about this, she also believes in your character."
Jiang Xu thought to himself, 'Auntie, you're wrong. I'm not that virtuous.'
In the afternoon after school, Jiang Xu made a solo trip to North City.
The construction progress of the two buildings was very fast.
The water, electricity, and gas had all been taken care of.
The flooring, ceiling, and walls of the first to sixth floors of the first building had all been done.
Jiang Xu asked the foreman, and he said everything would be finished by the end of November.
Coming out of the second building, Jiang Xu saw his parents.
The two of them were glowing with health, looking a lot younger.
Jiang Xu stepped forward, "Mom, Dad, why are you here?"
"Oh my, son, you're here too." Chen Yue said cheerfully, "We came over to supervise and prevent any corner-cutting."
"Your mother just loves showing off," Jiang Shan said irritably, "Just yesterday she brought her group of old girlfriends over here to brag."
Chen Yue retorted, "The day before yesterday, didn't you bring your fishing buddies over too?"
Jiang Xu: "..."
Fortunately, he didn't inherit their show-off habits.
Look at himself, how low-profile and pragmatic.
But he could understand their excitement.
On the way home, Jiang Xu saw construction happening everywhere.
Truck after truck continually brought in various building materials.
The major development had already begun, everything was in full swing.
And the land prices and housing prices in this area were soaring dramatically.
Time flew by, and it was the end of October.
The performance of Nuomimi Novel was better than Jiang Xu had expected.
The total registered users exceeded five hundred thousand.
The total paying users also approached two hundred thousand.
Since going online, the total recharge amount reached over seven million.
Of course, that doesn't mean the profit was over seven million.
Many users recharge by using their phone bills.
This required giving a twenty percent share to the service providers.
This couldn't be helped, at present, a certain platform was not available, and recharging was very inconvenient.
Thus only about six million was left.
Then, twenty-five percent tax had to be paid.
Thanks to the current tax relief in Jiang City, only fifteen percent had to be paid.
The final profit was just over five million.
Deducting the initial investment of one and a half million.
The website made a profit of three and a half million in its first month online.
This performance was quite explosive.
After deducting the five percent to Fu Yanjie and ten percent to Jiang Xiaoyan, as well as Lin Nan's share.
Jiang Xu was left with roughly two and a half million.
The first step in entrepreneurship had been a success.
Looking at these results, Jiang Xu was very satisfied.
So, the next step would be...
