Chapter 504: Chapter 504: A Billion Times Luckier Than Others

“Ah, such a pity, if I had been a little faster, maybe we could have won the second round of the competition.”

On the way back, Bai Xiaoya said with some self-blame.

The group of four, featuring three girls each with their own unique charm, attracted countless gazes.

Some bold ones couldn’t resist the urge to come over and strike up a conversation.

But before they got close, they were stopped by the bodyguards who were secretly following.

An Nuonuo comforted her, “It’s not much about sister, mainly it’s because I made more mistakes as a support.”

“Fine,” Bai Xiaoya nodded, “then it’s all your fault.”

An Nuonuo: “Ah?”

“Hahaha, you’re really cute.” Bai Xiaoya couldn’t help but pinch her collagen-filled face.

Upon returning to school, it happened to be mealtime.

Jiang Xiaoyan suggested going to the second floor of the cafeteria to eat.

Jiang Xu wanted to go back and check the traffic on ‘Daily Headlines’, so he asked An Nuonuo to pack some food for him.

Back in the dormitory, he turned on his computer.

Seeing the backend data of Daily Headlines’, Jiang Xu was somewhat surprised.

The first day of the League of Legends competition, the number of new downloads exceeded five million.

Nearly half of them also registered as users.

And to hold this competition, Jiang Xu didn’t spend any money but earned a large sum from advertising and endorsement fees.

The news platform that he had high hopes for also gained a huge increase in traffic.

With the exclusive rights to League of Legends, as long as it was managed properly, there was no need to worry about the basics of ‘Daily Headlines’.

Jiang Xu messaged Ally, telling her she could start looking for advertisers to insert ads in the app.

He then looked at the current cash flow of the group.

It had reached fifty billion.

Unconsciously, his pockets had swollen again.

Jiang Xu showed a hint of contemplation.

Now that the cash flow was abundant, it was time to consider the next step.

He had to invest in anything related to 5G.

He aimed to get 5G up and running as soon as possible.

With 5G, that would be the day he truly grew stronger and bigger.

Short videos, live-streaming sales…

Shuang Ma would be surpassed by him.

Before that, though, he needed to accumulate more strength.

An Nuonuo came back.

“Brother Xu, come out for dinner,” An Nuonuo called out from the living room towards the bedroom.

“Okay, wife.”

Jiang Xu responded while getting up and walking out.

He saw An Nuonuo with her back to him, taking out the takeout dishes one by one.

As she bent slightly, the rounded arc of her buttocks invoked fanciful thoughts. Even after seeing it countless times, Jiang Xu still couldn’t get enough. Speaking of which, it had been quite some time since Jiang Xu had eaten, probably about ten days.

He had been busy these days with work; otherwise, he was playing games or mahjong.

Jiang Xu walked over and hugged his fiancee from behind.

An Nuonuo’s delicate body trembled a little, and a rosy red color spread from her ears down to her neck, like morning dawn.

Her voice was intermittent, “Don’t… Let’s eat first… otherwise it’ll get cold.” Jiang Xu’s voice was slightly hoarse, “It’s okay, we have a microwave oven in the dorm, and besides, there’s an order to things when it comes to eating.” An Nuonuo: “Mm…”

The first meal took more than an hour to eat.

After finishing, Jiang Xu found that he was still very hungry.

He decided to reheat the cooled food for a second meal.

With a “ding”, the food was ready.

Jiang Xu placed the food on the table.

An Nuonuo came out of the bathroom, continuously wiping her face.

Her glance at Jiang Xu carried a slight reproach.

Jiang Xu gave an awkward smile, “Sorry, I couldn’t help myself earlier. Is your face clean now?”

“Stop it, let’s not talk about it,” the girl took her seat.

Just as she was about to eat, Jiang Xu’s phone rang.

It was Jiang Xiaoyan calling, “You… How are you and An Nuonuo… right now…”

The voice bore a painfully suppressed agony.

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Xu’s heart tightened.

“There’s something wrong with the food in the canteen… Bai Xiaoya, too… has been affected.”

Jiang Xu quickly asked, “Where are you now? Have you called an ambulance?” “We have.”

“Good, I’m coming right now.”

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xu said to An Nuonuo, “There’s something wrong with the food; the two of them had an accident.”

An Nuonuo also hurriedly stood up, “Then let’s go quickly.”

The two acted separately.

An Nuonuo went to the girls’ dormitory to find Bai Xiaoya.

Jiang Xu went to the teachers’ dormitory to find Jiang Xiaoyan.

Outside the school, chaos reigned.

It wasn’t just the two of them; many students who had eaten at the canteen were suffering from abdominal pain, vomiting, and other symptoms.

A shadow of concern crossed Jiang Xu’s mind.

Could it be a deliberate act of poisoning targeting him?

It’s also possible it was just a case of simple food poisoning.

He arrived at Jiang Xiaoyan’s dormitory as fast as he could.

The door was not locked.

After entering, he saw her curled up on the sofa, her forehead slick with sweat; she was already in a semi-comatose state.

This silly girl, so seriously ill, yet the first thing she thought of was whether Jiang Xu was alright.

Half an hour later, at the hospital.

Jiang Xu, An Nuonuo, and a host of school executives had arrived.

They were all pacing anxiously outside the emergency room.

Bai Xiaoya and Jiang Xiaoyan were the ones being treated inside.

With backgrounds as deep as theirs, the school executives were also terrified.

More than five hundred students had food poisoning and were rushed to several nearby hospitals.

The canteen contractor hurried over in a panic.

He knelt down at the scene, “Everyone, the ingredients I choose for the canteen every day are personally selected by me, absolutely fresh.

Leftover food is given to the pigs; it definitely has nothing to do with me.”

The thought of so many students being affected made the canteen owner shake with fear.

Even selling himself wouldn’t cover the losses.

At that moment, no one paid him any attention.

They were all waiting for the emergency room door to open.

If those students were alright, that was one thing.

If something happened, all those senior executives at the school would all have to step down.

Time ticked by, second by second.

“Click!”

The door to the emergency room opened.

Several doctors came out.

Jiang Xu was the first to rush over, “Doctor, how are they?”

“They’re out of danger,” one of the doctors replied, “Fortunately, they were brought in on time. After gastric lavage, most of the toxins have been flushed out.

They just need to be under observation for a few days, and if there are no problems, they can be discharged.”

An Nuonuo also came over and asked, “Then may I ask, Doctor, what caused the food poisoning?”

Doctor: “We’re not clear on that yet; it requires testing of the food, which will take some time.”

An Nuonuo: “Thank you, Doctor.”

Jiang Xu asked again, “Can we go in and see them now?”

“Yes, but don’t stay for long; let the patients rest.”

Bai Xiaoya and Jiang Xiaoyan were transferred to VIP wards.

Seeing that the two were alright, the school executives heaved a sigh of relief and then went to the other emergency rooms to check on the remaining students.

Inside the VIP ward, Bai Xiaoya and Jiang Xiaoyan were awake.

They were extremely pale and incredibly weak.

They appeared to have no strength to resist at all.

They were being infused with glucose.

Seeing Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo enter, both of them were stunned.

Bai Xiaoya couldn’t help but ask, “Wait, why are you two alright?”
