These young and emerging campus heartthrobs, if some of them manage to secure final spots in the overall championship,
then the cost of signing them afterward, including the payment and such, would be significantly higher.
Therefore, Jiang Xu had Avi initiate private contact with them ahead of time.
To get the contracts signed early.
At this stage, their fame isnât that great, their experience is limited, making it the most cost-effective time to sign, and theyâre the most eager to sign on.
What, some people donât want to sign at this time?
Thatâs okay.
Then you must be prepared for the possibility of not advancing in the competition.
After all, the platform, traffic, funds, manpower, and such are all provided by Jiang Xu.
If you wish to make a name for yourself through this competition, naturally, there are sacrifices to be made.
Besides, the contract Jiang Xu offers isnât one of those exploitative ones, the pay is even higher than that of most executives in domestic public companies.
Avi signed over three hundred people in one go.
Itâs like casting a wide net.
As long as one or two among these people make it big, thatâs a profit.
And if some entertainment company wants to poach someone from the group, theyâd have to pay a hefty penalty fee.
This morning, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo headed to the school.
Itâs been quite a long time since they last visited the school.
After experiencing various trials and tribulations outside, they fully relaxed both body and mind upon returning to school.
Leaves fluttered down.
An Nuonuo caught a falling leaf and murmured, âItâs autumn already, time flies so fast.â
âYeah,â Jiang Xu also felt a bit sentimental, âOh right, tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival. Letâs go buy some mooncakes this afternoon and send them to Xiao Yan.â
âOkay~â
âWow, you two are such rare visitors.â
âWe thought you wouldnât come to school anymore.â
They hadnât walked far when they ran into Wu Mengmeng and Xia Xiaozhan.
An Nuonuoâs two roommates were also dressed to the nines.
When the three girls got together, they naturally chattered on and on.
Jiang Xu smiled and asked, âDidnât you two participate in the âSchool beautyâ competition?â
Wu Mengmeng pouted, âI donât want to talk about it.â
Xia Xiaozhan replied, âSeen and not replied.â
Jiang Xu laughed loudly, âOh, I get it, you participated, and then got eliminated, right?
At which stage were you eliminated, the semi-finals? After all, those who make it to the finals are somewhat famous already.
But I donât seem to see any legends about you two on the internet.â
Wu Mengmeng: ââ¦â
Xia Xiaozhan: ââ¦â
After a while, the two girls said to An Nuonuo in a wistful tone and in unison, âNuonuo, your boyfriendâs backhanded compliments are really sharp, makes one want to hit him.â
An Nuonuo replied, âNot really, I think heâs quite cute.â
The two girls shook their heads.
âNo hope, no hope, Nuonuo, youâve been poisoned by love, itâs seeped into your bones.â
âI bet even if it were a strand of hair that Jiang Xu dropped, youâd treasure it.â
Facing her roommatesâ teasing, An Nuonuo didnât retort, just kept smiling foolishly.
Today, the two of them werenât particularly busy, so they specifically came to the school to walk around, attend a couple of classes, and even had lunch in the school cafeteria.
With their current popularity, they attracted attention wherever they went, with people asking for autographs and photos.
However, the students at school were rather restrained, and no crazy behavior ensued.
After eating lunch in the school cafeteria, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo went their separate ways.
Jiang Xu originally planned to buy mooncakes, but An Nuonuo suggested making them instead and then shipping them over.
Jiang Xu thought that homemade mooncakes would definitely taste better, so he agreed.
While An Nuonuo went to prepare the ingredients, he headed to the high-speed train station.
Fu Yanjie and Zhang Yuanyuan were coming over.
Zhang Yuanyuan finally had enough rest and was ready to go back to school.
As for the child, they were now entrusted to Fu Yanjieâs parents.
The two of them were very happy too.
No need to work, no need to take care of the child, they just needed to enjoy life.
Jiang Xu disguised himself and arrived at the high-speed train station.
Just in time, the two of them came out hand in hand.
They didnât bring any luggage.
âHahaha, Old Xu, long time no see, did you miss me?â
Although Jiang Xu was in disguise, Fu Yanjie recognized him at a glance and ran towards him, his arms wide open.
Facing the now around one hundred and fifty to sixty jin Fu Yanjie, Jiang Xu sidestepped, avoiding him.
âWhat do you mean, despising me?â Fu Yanjie asked with a face full of grievance.
Jiang Xu kicked him: âIsnât it obvious? You were short, ugly, and dark before, but now itâs different.â
âHehehe,â Fu Yanjie said proudly, âIâve become handsome now, right?â
Jiang Xu shook his head: âNo, you are now short, ugly, dark, and also fat.â
Fu Yanjie: ââ¦â
Zhang Yuanyuan was snickering on the side.
âLetâs go,â Jiang Xu said. âNuonuo is making mooncakes at home.â
âAh, the mooncakes Nuonuo makes are really delicious,â Zhang Yuanyuan swallowed her saliva.
When they got home, they found that Bai Xiaoya and Chu Youwei had also come over.
Three girls were making mooncakes.
Well, to be precise, An Nuonuo and Chu Youwei were making them.
As for Bai Xiaoyaâ¦
âNuonuo, does this flour need more water?â
âNuonuo, can I taste this filling?â
âNuonuo, can I add chives to the mooncakes?â
As soon as Jiang Xu entered the house and heard her say this, he couldnât help but burst out laughing.
Sarcastically, he said, âBai Xiaoya, you should just go to work. The kitchen is a critical area, not suitable for you to stay.â
Bai Xiaoya said defiantly, âWhatâs the matter, you disdain me, donât you? My cooking skills arenât bad either⦠right, Nuonuo?â
An Nuonuo: (ãï¿£Ïï¿£ãã.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Seeing An Nuonuoâs expression, Jiang Xu laughed even louder.
Bai Xiaoya: ââ¦â
Jiang Xu first took Fu Yanjie and Zhang Yuanyuan to visit An Nuonuo and his own parents.
Then, Zhang Yuanyuan also joined the mooncake-making team.
Jiang Xu and Fu Yanjie ran off to the study to play League of Legends.
Fu Yanjie instantly picked the jungle role, clicking his tongue: âYouâre enjoying the blessings of everyone now.
Aside from Nuonuo, youâve also got Chu Youwei, such a gentle and beautiful sister.â
Jiang Xu, who had chosen the support role, said irritably: âDonât talk nonsense, Iâve got no interest in her.â
âI know,â Fu Yanjie popped open a can of cola: âItâs just you, so single-minded. If it were meâ¦â
Jiang Xu scoffed: âIf it were you, youâd struggle even to add her as a friend.â
Fu Yanjie: âKeep this up, and Iâll get angry.â
Jiang Xu: âGo on, get angry for me to see.â
Fu Yanjie pinched a finger pose: âAnnoying.â
Jiang Xu: ââ¦â
After playing a few games, the girls had finished making the mooncakes.
Three different fillings.
Red bean paste, mixed nuts, and salted egg yolk.
All tasted pretty good.
After tasting a few, Jiang Xu packed twelve of each flavor into boxes and shipped them off to Jiang Xiaoyan.
