Chapter 898: Chapter 898: 898: Stop Him, He's About to Show Off

Bai Xiaoya pulled An Nuonuo aside.

She mysteriously took out a bottle of liquor and gave it to her, “This is for you.”

“Ah?” An Nuonuo was puzzled, “Sister Xiaoya, why are you giving me alcohol? I don’t normally drink.”

“This is no ordinary alcohol, it’s called Ten Whip Wine.” Bai Xiaoya winked at An Nuonuo:

“They call it Ten Whip Wine, but actually, it’s brewed using whips from twenty different animals and a variety of precious Chinese medicinal herbs.”

“Donkey, horse, cow, sheep, tiger, crocodile, deer, and so on.”

...

“This is super invincible good stuff, one bottle is worth at least five million.”

“One sip for a man, and he can pierce the heavens.”

“Nuonuo, your ‘days’ ahead will be blessed.”

An Nuonuo: “…”

She opened her mouth, at a loss for words for the moment.

Her cheeks were just terribly red.

Since when did Sister Xiaoya become so improper?

Should she take this wine or not?

Without the help of any substance, Jiang Xu was already strong and rakishly charming.

If he drank this wine that sounded so powerful…

She couldn’t bear to think, not at all.

“What are you two whispering about?” Jiang Xu spoke up.

“Nothing much.” Bai Xiaoya smiled and put the wine away, then passed it to An Nuonuo and sat down.

Seeing An Nuonuo’s expression, Jiang Xu knew that Bai Xiaoya must have said something lurid again.

Today was New Year’s Day, and many people were dining out, so the service was a bit slower than usual.

The private room had huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

You could see the fireworks going off continuously outside.

From here, you could see the Huang River, and the view was incredibly beautiful.

“We can consider ourselves among the elite now, right?” Bai Xiaoya suddenly felt sentimental, “In the whole Magic City, there aren’t many richer than us.”

Especially Jiang Xu.

His personal wealth was now approaching a trillion yuan.

All of his major products were developing rapidly, with no competitors.

A trillion was just the beginning.

Especially with the rapid rise and explosion of ‘Kuai Yin.’

The performance of ‘Blueprint’ was also surging along with it.

This year’s financial statement should be remarkably good.

“Yeah,” Jiang Xu was also quite sentimental.

Then he added very pretentiously, “But I still like the time back in high school best, when I had a few hundred yuan of spending money per month.”

Bai Xiaoya: “Heh.”

Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo deliberately ate very slowly that evening.

They also drank a bit with Bai Xiaoya.

It was just that during the festive season, they were afraid Bai Xiaoya would feel lonely if she went back too early by herself.@@novelbin@@

It was after ten at night.

Bai Xiaoya’s cheeks were flushed, and her eyes slightly blurry.

She put down her glass and suddenly said, “I want to discuss something with you, how about someday the Bai family fortune is inherited by one of your children?”

Jiang Xu’s action of picking up food paused.

Bai Xiaoya continued, “I’ve been observing all the eligible heirs of the Bai family for the past half a year, and how should I put it, not a single one is truly outstanding.”

“If the Bai family’s future is left in their hands, it’s impossible to retain the present wealth.”

“Anyway, I don’t feel much of a sense of belonging to the Bai family anymore, giving it to those people, might as well give it to your children.”

“After all, my current status is all because of Jiang Xu.”

The Bai Family’s current assets, coupled with Bai Xiaoya’s personal wealth, also amounted to over a hundred billion.

It wasn’t a small sum at all.

Jiang Xu knew very well why Bai Xiaoya would do such a thing.

Everything was just because she loved him.

Therefore, in her love for the man, she would rather leave her wealth to Jiang Xu’s descendants than to her own clan, after her century.

Jiang Xu felt a mix of emotions.

But he soon laughed and said, “It’s still too early to talk about this matter now, let’s discuss it when you’re seventy or eighty.”

“Alright,” Bai Xiaoya shrugged. “There’s still some wine left, keep drinking, don’t waste it.”

With a “plop”, An Nuonuo collapsed onto the table.

She was drunk.

All evening, she had been eating and gossiping with Bai Xiaoya, and without realizing it, she drank too much.

Jiang Xu was torn between laughter and tears.

Just as he planned to take her home, Bai Xiaoya suddenly spoke up, “Join me on the balcony for a bit?”

Jiang Xu paused, then nodded.

The balcony.

The two of them sat there, watching the fireworks lighting up in the sky and then quickly fading away.

Bai Xiaoya’s expression carried a touch of melancholy, “A person’s life is just like fireworks, fleeting in an instant.”

Jiang Xu turned to look at her, “Why so sentimental tonight, lost money in the stock market?”

Bai Xiaoya was silent for a moment, then said, “Damn it, lost over a hundred million.”

Jiang Xu couldn’t help but give a wry smile, “Stay away from the stock market, deep waters there that you can’t handle.”

Bai Xiaoya: “Do you think I’m deep or shallow?”

Jiang Xu: “???”

Seeing Jiang Xu’s expression, Bai Xiaoya laughed until she was shaking like a leaf.

Then she leaned into his ear, spoke a long rush of words, and hurriedly got up to leave.

Jiang Xu was dumbfounded.

Tonight, Bai Xiaoya had drunk too much, and the things she said were…

They need to be covered with dense mosaics before they could be broadcast.

It must’ve been the alcohol that made Bai Xiaoya so bold.

Her words had quite a big impact on Jiang Xu.

Back at home.

An Nuonuo was still not awake, so Jiang Xu had to do it all by himself.

The next morning, when she got up, An Nuonuo felt a bit sore in her throat.

She guessed it might be because she had been eating too many heaty foods lately and didn’t pay much attention to it.

After breakfast, Jiang Xu went to the company.

Today was the day to release the yearly financial report.

After arriving at the company and just sitting down, several billionaire friends sent messages as if they had agreed on it beforehand.

Jack Ma: Don’t send me your family’s annual financial report, or I’ll block you.

President Ma: I don’t want to know how much your company made last year, don’t tell me, otherwise, we’re not through.

Mr. Chen: Don’t you dare message me today!

CEO Liu: I’m temporarily blocking your messages today!

Jiang Xu was speechless.

How could these people have such weak willpower?

It took away a lot of fun.

Around eleven o’clock, the new vice president delivered last year’s annual financial reports for the group and its subsidiaries.

The first was for Nuomimi Novel.

Last year saw another historic high in various copyright sales, surpassing 3,000 titles.

Revenue broke records, reaching twenty-nine billion (last year twenty-seven billion).

Net profit soared to sixty-nine billion!

Then there was Nuomi Entertainment, which was incredibly eye-catching.

The annual revenue was one hundred and thirty billion, with a net profit of fifty-five billion.

This year’s revenue also increased by more than two hundred billion from last year, along with several billion in net profit.

The reason for such an increase is largely thanks to Zhou Mengmeng.

She made a total of nine movies this year.

Eight have already been released, and one is waiting for the Spring Festival slot.

The box office for these eight movies alone has exceeded twenty billion.

This has left countless people in the film industry in despair.

For many years to come, Zhou Mengmeng will dominate the movie circle.

Others can only switch careers or go make other niche low-budget films.

Next up was…
