Chapter 733: Chapter 733: 733: School Beauty Rankings

Jiang Xu was looking down at the school’s forum.

An Nuonuo, on the other hand, was holding his hand.

The two of them walking together in the campus were an incredibly eye-catching sight.

Jiang Xu hadn’t logged onto the school’s forum for quite a long time.

Apart from some academic posts, it was all about the rankings of the school beauties and hunks.

Yep, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo still firmly occupied the top positions.

Over the years, plenty of people tried to challenge them, but ultimately all failed.

At most, there were a few rare instances when someone briefly topped the list, but they were quickly dethroned.

Perhaps it would only be after Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo had graduated that new school beauties and hunks would emerge.

“Jiang Xu, Nuonuo!”

A shout came from behind them.

Turning around, they saw Jiang Xiaoyan.

She was jogging over.

“Sister Xiao Yan, hello.”

“Why are you here?” Jiang Xu asked.

“I’m a teacher, have you forgotten?” Jiang Xiaoyan rolled her eyes at him.

Then, she affectionately took An Nuonuo’s hand and pulled her aside to talk.

“Nuonuo, have you dug up any gossip recently?”

“Let me tell you, I’ve met a rich lady who loves to hear gossip, she’s very wealthy.”

“I’ve been chatting with her a lot recently, so if you have any material, send it to me quickly.”

“Once I make her happy, she’ll invest in me.”

“I’ll do my best,” An Nuonuo pursed her lips, “but Sister Xiao Yan, if you need investment money, you can ask Brother Xu, you know.”

Jiang Xiaoyan shook her head: “No worries, I can handle it myself, I don’t want to bother him.”

Jiang Xiaoyan had the kind of personality where she preferred to provide help to Jiang Xu rather than be a burden on him.

“Oh.” An Nuonuo didn’t think too deeply, “I’ll pry some more out of Brother Xu’s mouth tonight when I get back.”

“Remember, okay.” Jiang Xiaoyan instructed, “The more explosive gossips are affairs, domestic violence, love triangles, love quadrangles, and ethical issues.”

“You need to pursue the truth of the matter, though, and avoid gossip about big shots, can’t afford to offend them.”

An Nuonuo nodded, indicating she understood.

“What are you two whispering about?” Jiang Xu called out from not too far away.

Jiang Xiaoyan walked over to him with An Nuonuo, and kicked him lightly, “Can’t bear to be apart for just a few minutes?”

Jiang Xu: “…”

“Right, I have something to tell you.” Jiang Xiaoyan began, “Zhou and I invested in a variety show, it’s starting next week, and I’m going too.”

An Nuonuo’s eyes lit up, “What variety show is it?”

She had recently become hooked on watching various variety shows.

“It’s a life-style variety show.” Jiang Xiaoyan said with a giggly smile, “We’re bringing a few guests together to plant vegetables, cook meals, and live in the countryside. It’s called ‘Pastoral Life’.”

“What, are you planning to debut?” Jiang Xu found her recent moves a bit strange and couldn’t quite understand them.

“Nope,” Jiang Xiaoyan shook her head, “just want to follow the same path as you guys, building a personal brand.”

With the success of Jiang Xu in this life, the whole personal branding thing had been brought forward by five or six years.

Many business tycoons were also entering the fray, using various methods to accumulate traffic and loyal fans for themselves.

“Alright.” Jiang Xu didn’t think much of it, “When it starts airing, Nuonuo and I will help you with the promotion.”

“I’m telling you not just for that,” Jiang Xiaoyan’s eyes moved between Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo, revealing a sly expression.

Jiang Xu immediately became wary and tentatively asked, “You… you aren’t thinking of dragging us into it as well, are you?”

“Smart.” Jiang Xiaoyan snapped her fingers, “If you two joined, the show would definitely be a huge hit.”

“I don’t have the time,” Jiang Xu refused outright.

He would like to, but he had too much on his plate and definitely couldn’t make it.

“Then Nuonuo, you come with me?” Jiang Xiaoyan blinked, “Besides, the guests invited so far for the show are all girls.”

“Jiang Xu, if you’re not coming, I’m planning on only inviting girls from now on,”

An Nuonuo was somewhat tempted.

It was just that she couldn’t bear to be away from Jiang Xu for an extended period.

“That’s not entirely impossible,” Jiang Xu thoughtfully considered for a moment and said, “My upcoming work schedule is quite busy anyway, so I might not have much time to spend with Nuonuo.”

“If she goes, we can treat it as a live outdoor broadcast.”

“Of course, the premise is that Nuonuo herself wants to go.”

There was another thing Jiang Xu didn’t say out loud.

That was that couples occasionally need to spend some time apart to maintain freshness in the relationship.

“So, Sister Xiao Yan, how many people are on the variety show now?” An Nuonuo asked.

She wanted to go.

Pastoral Life, ah.

It sounded very interesting just hearing about it.

“As for now, it’s me, Old Zhou, and two third-tier celebrities,”

“If you’re coming, there’ll be five people in the first episode.”

“We’ll see if we need to invite any special guests later on.”

“Then, as for the filming cycle, the first season consists of six episodes, which will take about two months, but there will be breaks in between.”

“Lastly, the filming location is in a small village in Huicheng; it’s just four or five hundred kilometers away by car from here, not far.”

“Okay, I’m in,” An Nuonuo decided to go.

Jiang Xu ruffled An Nuonuo’s hair: “Then, when the time comes, I’ll personally take you guys there.

Also, I’ll arrange for fifty bodyguards.”

“You’re being overly cautious,” Jiang Xiaoyan said sourly, “I probably don’t even make as much from the show as you spend on bodyguards.”

Jiang Xu smiled and didn’t reply.

They attended two classes at school in the morning.

As soon as school was out, many students ran over to get Jiang Xu’s and An Nuonuo’s autographs.

Both of them did not turn anyone away.

After signing autographs, they went to the cafeteria for lunch.

An Nuonuo messaged Bai Xiaoya about going on the variety show.

Bai Xiaoya quickly sent a voice message: “Wow, it sounds like so much fun.”

“Then, let’s see if I have time for the second episode and let me join too.”

An Nuonuo: “Of course, we can go together then, treat it like a vacation.”

Bai Xiaoya: “But you mentioned Zhou Qingyue is going too. What’s a lame person going to do there?”

[Zhou Qingyue: “You’re the lame one, your whole family is.”]

An Nuonuo: “Sister Xiao Yan said she’ll go in a wheelchair, just helping with picking vegetables and such should be fine.”

“To give the impression to the outside world that Zhou…um…it’s not me saying this, Sister Xiao Yan said it.”

“To give the impression to the outside world that Zhou is someone with a disabled body but a strong will.”

Bai Xiaoya: “I’ve already taken a screenshot and sent it to Zhou Qingyue.”

An Nuonuo: “Please, have mercy.”

She then added an emoticon of someone kneeling down.

Bai Xiaoya: “Two handbags.”

An Nuonuo: “Fine, no problem.”

Jiang Xu glanced over their conversation.

Among all the people, An Nuonuo was closest to Bai Xiaoya, Chu Youwei, and Zhang Xiaoyuan.

Jiang Xiaoyan, on the other hand, was closest to Zhou Qingyue.

It seemed that from the very beginning, Jiang Xu was the bond that tied them together.

In the afternoon, Zhou Qingyue released a statement.
