Chapter 488: Chapter 488 - 488 Alright alright, playing this act again, huh?

Translator: 549690339

Though Zhou Qingyue was washing dishes in the kitchen, she kept an eye on the commotion outside.

She saw the two of them go upstairs.

Her eyes darted around; she washed her hands and, like a sneaky thief, followed them quietly.

The bedroom door closed.

Zhou Qingyue pressed her ear against the door.

The soundproofing in these rooms wasn’t as good as it was in the villas back home.

As she leaned in close, she could still vaguely hear some activity inside.

But after just a short while, Zhou Qingyue’s face flushed red, and she bit her lips tightly, “Damn it, they’re actually playing that, it’s too much. Can’t they include me…”

Eavesdropping, like gossip, the more you hear, the more hooked you get.

Zhou Qingyue’s breathing began to quicken.

She had been spying for over forty minutes.

Zhou Qingyue’s legs had gone numb.

Shock filled her pretty eyes, “No way, such a long duration, what kind of stamina is that.”

Aside from shock, she was filled with envy and resentment.

Clearly, I arrived first.

She dared not listen any longer.

She tiptoed back downstairs.

It’s just that her walking posture was a bit strange…

After she got downstairs, Zhou Qingyue hurriedly finished washing the dishes, then ran into the restroom and took a long time to come out.

Muttering to herself, “The last time, definitely the last time…”

Seeing that the two of them still showed no signs of coming out, Zhou Qingyue also felt there was no point in staying around.

She sent An Nuonuo a message, then left in a huff.

The next afternoon, Jiang Xu received a call from Director He’s secretary.

“Mr. Jiang, your issue has been resolved. You can rest assured and continue your operations here.”

Jiang Xu was overjoyed, “That’s great, thank you so much.”

Secretary: “No problem, protecting (helping) our compatriots abroad is our duty.

If you encounter any difficulties in the future, remember to contact us first.”

Jiang Xu: “Okay, thank you.”

After the call ended, Jiang Xu went to An Nuonuo’s office to share the good news.

In this company, An Nuonuo held the highest position.

Jiang Xu had no intention of hiding her brilliance, usually working in the adjacent, slightly smaller office.

“That’s fantastic,” An Nuonuo jumped up, her conscience pounding with intensity.

Jiang Xu patted her head, “You work here, and I’ll go outside to find someone to make a banner to thank them.”

“Okay, be careful on the road.”

Jiang Xu went out with his bodyguard.

After finding a stationery store, he had a banner made.

He then delivered it personally to the museum.

Some people might think this gesture cheap.

But presenting a banner was the most appropriate thing to do.

If he had given something valuable, they would not have accepted it, and it would have caused them trouble.

After delivering the banner, Jiang Xu ran into Mo Keqi.

Or rather, Mo Keqi had been waiting there specifically for Jiang Xu.

He came alone.

Upon seeing Jiang Xu, he approached him enthusiastically, “Mr. Jiang, what a coincidence to see you here again.”

Jiang Xu shook his hand warmly as well, “It is indeed quite a coincidence.”

After the two adults exchanged hollow pleasantries, Mo Keqi said earnestly, “I would like to invite you and your wife to dinner tonight to resolve any misunderstandings that might exist between us.”

Jiang Xu nodded, “I couldn’t possibly refuse.”

Mo Keqi: “Ah?”

Hmm, he didn’t understand the idiom.

Jiang Xu rephrased, “oj8k.”

He understood that.

Seeing Mo Keqi’s current attitude, it was clear that someone behind him had spoken and made him change his formerly arrogant ways.

That evening.

Jiang Xu took An Nuonuo to the dinner party.

The event was held inside Mo Keqi’s old castle.

The dishes looked very fancy.

But just like all the high-end restaurants back home, they had the same problem.

Huge plates contained only tiny morsels of food.

Using so-called finesse as an excuse, when in reality it was just a shortcut to scrimping.

Jiang Xu spoke to An Nuonuo in Mandarin, “Do you like this kind of castle? If you do, we can buy one too.”

“I don’t like it,” An Nuonuo shook her head. “It gives me a creepy feeling, probably influenced by some TV shows.”

Many vampire-themed movies are set in various castles.

For a girl like An Nuonuo, it certainly was a bit unnerving.

“To the two of you, I raise my glass,” Mo Keqi stood up, holding his wine glass.

This guy knew how to be flexible.

Just previously threatening, now he acted as if he’d been good friends with them for decades.

But it was precisely such a person who was the hardest to deal with.

After the dinner ended, they exchanged business cards and then Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo left.

Once in the car, Jiang Xu’s smile slowly faded.

An Nuonuo immediately sensed what Jiang Xu was thinking.

She placed her left hand on the back of Jiang Xu’s hand and whispered, “You want to completely take down Mo Keqi, don’t you?”

The one who understood Jiang Xu best was definitely An Nuonuo.

“Mhm,” Jiang Xu nodded, “He’s an unstable factor and could explode at any moment.

You know me, I’ve always lacked a sense of security.

Any potential crisis must be nipped in the bud.”

An Nuonuo asked, “So what do you plan to do?”

Jiang Xu’s eyes flickered, and then he chuckled coldly, “Of course, let them fight amongst themselves…”

Two days later, news came from domestic companies.

Nuomi Comics had successfully gone public in Xiangjiang.

The stock was issued at 3.5 yuan per share.

This was a completely different scenario from the previous Nuomimi Novel listing.

Right after listing, the stock hit the daily limit.

The entire market’s confidence in Jiang Xu and his companies reached an incredibly terrifying height.

There were only two shareholders in Nuomi Comics.

Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo.

Jiang Xu held a 50% stake, while An Nuonuo held 26%.

The remaining shares were diluted and distributed.

Jiang Xu checked the domestic reactions to Nuomi Comics’ public listing.

Most of them were positive and optimistic.

The market response was very enthusiastic.

Given this trend, Nuomi Comics would see decent growth over the next period.

This meant that several contingency plans Jiang Xu had prepared were not needed for the time being.

He then made a quick calculation of his current net worth.

Not counting investments in chips and screens, which had not yet turned a profit.

His net worth had already reached 60 billion.

Keep in mind, he was just nineteen years old.

He wouldn’t turn twenty until December.

Setting aside the advantages of reincarnation, who could match his awesomeness?

If you add An Nuonuo’s current net worth as well, they would easily exceed a hundred billion.

In the domestic scene, they were basically dominating all businessmen under forty.

Even those with family backing would find it hard to surpass Jiang Xu’s wealth.

One thing was for sure, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo would definitely be on this year’s Forbes list.

Moreover, they would rank very high.

“Knock knock knock…”

Someone knocked on the office door.

Then An Nuonuo bounced in.

She flashed a playful smile at Jiang Xu, “Brother Xu, I have a gift for you..”
