âBrother Xuâ¦â
âBrother Xu, wake upâ¦â
An Nuonuo called out softly a few times, but Jiang Xu showed no signs of waking up.
An Nuonuo blinked her eyes.
She wondered if it was because the press conference earlier had tired him out.
As an understanding girlfriend, she, of course, wouldnât force him awake at this time.
She could only temporarily give up on her plan to pry information from him.
However, at that moment, Jiang Xiaoyan sent her a message, asking how her mission had gone.
An Nuonuo could only tell the truth.
Jiang Xiaoyan: Then wait until morning to ask him.
If he doesnât tell you, try seducing him; Iâm sure he absolutely wonât be able to resist.
If that doesnât work, then Iâll come over and weâll seduce him together.
An Nuonuo: â¦
I suspect thatâs your real motive, but I have no evidence.
An Nuonuoâs phone vibrated.
She picked it up and saw it was a WeChat message.
[You have been added by âSister is the Queenâ to the âGossip Groupâ]
âSister is the Queenâ was Jiang Xiaoyanâs WeChat name.
The group was created by Jiang Xiaoyan.
She had added An Nuonuo, Chu Youwei, Bai Xiaoya, Wang Xiaoyuan, and even Zhou Qingyue into it.
Jiang Xiaoyan @everyone: For easy chatting, please change your group name to your own name.
Everyone quickly changed their group names accordingly.
Wang Xiaoyuan: Whatâs this about?
Jiang Xiaoyan: Teehee, just wait for the gossip.
Zhou Qingyue @An Nuonuo: Jiang Xiaoyan told me youâre carrying a heavy responsibility now; you better not let us down.
Bai Xiaoya @An Nuonuo: Honestly, Iâm not really into this gossip, but to fit in with everyone, I have no choice but to partake.
So hurry up and steal the full story from your boyfriend.
Chu Youwei @An Nuonuo: You can do it, kiddo.
An Nuonuo: I⦠got it.
The next morning.
The morning air was a little chilly, blowing in through the gap of the window and soon woke Jiang Xu up.
He had gone to bed early the previous day, so when he woke up, Jiang Xu felt strong and refreshed.
After slightly moving his body, An Nuonuo woke up.
The girl opened her eyes.
At first, her vision was blurred, but it cleared up the instant she saw Jiang Xu.
An Nuonuo hadnât forgotten the instructions from everyone last night.
Everyone had been tagging her in the group chat.
It made her feel as if not digging up the gossip was an enormous sin.
âBrother Xu, I have a question to ask you⦠Wah wah wahâ¦â
Before she could finish, her mouth was sealedâ¦
By the time An Nuonuo regained her senses, it was already past ten in the morning.
âBrother Xuâ¦â An Nuonuo opened her mouth.
But before she could speak, he interrupted, âBaby, Iâm so hungry. Could you make me some breakfast?â
An Nuonuo saw the almost imperceptible smile on Jiang Xuâs lips.
She immediately realized it.
Jiang Xu had been playing with her all along.
An Nuonuo pouted her enticing cherry lips and huffily said, âBad brother, youâre bullying me. Iâm not talking to you anymore.â
After saying that, she turned away from Jiang Xu, crossing her arms, looking completely inconsolable.
âHahahaâ¦â Jiang Xu laughed heartily and suddenly turned An Nuonuo around:
âAlright, donât be mad. Who knew you were so naive and silly to think I hadnât noticed your little scheme?â
With that said, her lips curled up even higher.
She could hang ten or eight baby bottles on them with no problem at all.
âYouâre still laughing,â An Nuonuo hit his chest lightly, looking quite aggrieved.
Jiang Xu held back his laughter, raising both hands: âOkay, okay, itâs my fault, Iâll tell you what you want to know right now.â
An Nuonuo, with her face flushed, stubbornly said: âItâs not that I want to know! Iâm not curious at all about it. Itâs my sisters who are curious; they asked me to ask.â
Jiang Xu: âOkay, okay, youâre not curious at all, Iâll tell youâ¦â
Jiang Xu talked for a full half hour.
Most of it was information Jiang Xu had found on some forums in his past life.
The other small part was artistically processed.
After he finished, An Nuonuoâs enticing cherry lips were wide open for a long time without closing.
Jiang Xu manually closed her mouth for her because if he kept looking, he was afraid he wouldnât be able to resistâ¦
âAll right, go report back to your sisters now.â
An Nuonuo nodded.
Her face still red, she picked up her phone, her thumbs flying quickly over the screen.
She retyped everything Jiang Xu had just said and sent it into the gossip groupâ¦
Jiang Xu also took out his phone and opened WeChat.
Among the many unread messages, he clicked on a few pictures sent last night by a senior programmer at his company.
They were crying customerâs photos.
Of course, Jiang Xu didnât have those unspeakable photos of the crying customer.
But no worries, he could make people photoshop them.
All he needed to do was find some of the crying customerâs regular life photos and then edit them.
In the realm of photo editing, Jiang Xuâs company was considered second to none globally.
After all, his company was one of the first in the country to work on photo editing, accumulating a wealth of experience and technology.
It wasnât 100% sure,
but at least he was 80 or 90% confident that the crying customer wouldnât find out.
After looking at them, Jiang Xu sent these photos to the crying customerâs email.
Jiang Xu was betting that the crying customer couldnât detect the authenticity of these photos.
Another bet was that he couldnât remember whether the scenes in the photos had actually happened or not.
Even if he lost the bet, it wasnât a big deal.
But if he won, he could eliminate a powerful rival.
What Jiang Xu hadnât expected was that less than five minutes after sending the photos,
the crying customer emailed back with a message: âIâm coming back to the country now and will resign from the board!â
Jiang Xu: âDamn.â
Jiang Xu didnât know whether to call him decisive or cowardly.
But no matter how you looked at it, it was great news.
As long as the crying customer was no longer at Fruit Company, whoever replaced him as CEO might not reach the previous heights.
Then Jiang Xu checked the backend of Mei Zhuâs mobile official website.
Oh boy.
You wouldnât know if you didnât check, but it was quite a shock once he did.
It had only been about ten hours since the release yesterday.
The number of preorders across the network had already exceeded three million units.
These werenât phones priced at a few hundred, but around five thousand each.
If all three million units were delivered, the sales volume would be around 150 to 160 billion!
With Mei Zhuâs phone currently having about 10% net profit,
the net profit would be around fifteen to sixteen billion.
And this was merely the result from the first day of release.
After a few months, wouldnât it be easy to surpass ten million?
Jiang Xu suppressed the excitement in his heart and went online to check how many preorders the new Fruit phone had domestically.
That check turned out to be quite surprising for Jiang Xu.
