Chapter 652: Chapter 652: I’ll Even Call You Daddy

The two didn’t wake up until after ten in the morning.

The main reason was the potency of the alcohol Jiang Xu drank last night, which was really too strong.

“Can you still walk?” Jiang Xu asked with concern, looking at An Nuonuo.

An Nuonuo tried to get up, took a couple of steps before sitting back down, and shook her head with a red face.

“Sorry, sorry, it’s my fault.” Jiang Xu rubbed her head, “Just lie here today, I’ll go get you some food.”

Last night, the two of them had been engaged in an “academic exchange,” which took place six times, resulting in severe physical exhaustion for An Nuonuo today.

However, Jiang Xu was not much affected; he was still full of vigor.

First, he went to wash up, and then he carried An Nuonuo to the bathroom.

After picking up some food, he brought An Nuonuo out.

“This is so embarrassing.” An Nuonuo buried her face in Jiang Xu’s chest.

Jiang Xu laughed heartily.

After An Nuonuo finished breakfast, she sat on the bed with her laptop and dealt with some comments on the TianTian Headlines website.

Jiang Xu went outside.

There he saw Fu Yanjie and Zhang Yuanyuan, one holding Little Yanyan and the other holding An Ping.

The weather was beautiful today, sunny with a gentle breeze.

An Ping also kept looking at Little Yanyan.

Fu Yanjie chuckled, “If they end up together when they grow up, or she ends up with Fu Hao, that would be wonderful.”

Jiang Xu snorted, “If my sister ends up with your son, what should you call me?”

Fu Yanjie, “If they really get together, I’d even call you ‘Dad’.”

Jiang Xu, “…”

This guy’s skin is getting thicker.

The long vacation passed by without notice.

Those who should go to work, went to work; those who should open their stores, opened their stores.

The year has only a few months left, and it’s coming to an end.

Time flies so fast.

On October 8, the first day everyone was back to work, an explosive news came from abroad.

The current chairperson of Sangsang, Lifuzhen, was arrested for violating multiple laws and regulations and was thrown in jail.

At the same time, her position as chairperson was also stripped, replaced by another junior member of the Li Family.

Jiang Xu was a bit surprised when he received the news.

This woman got arrested so soon?

But it didn’t concern him.

However, not long after, an unfamiliar phone call came in.

The area code indicated it was from Little Hammer’s side.

With a glint in his eye, Jiang Xu pressed the answer button.

“Hello, may I speak with Mr. Jiang Xu?”

On the other end of the line, there was a man speaking fluent Mandarin.

“Yes, who’s this?”

“I am a trusted associate of Miss Li Lifuzhen. She was arrested so abruptly that she had no time to fight back, and we hope you can save her.”

Jiang Xu’s expression remained calm, “How can I help, and why should I?”

The other party seemed to anticipate Jiang Xu’s response, thus there was no fluctuation in his tone.

“Miss Li had already instructed me, if anything happened to her, to seek out Mr. Jiang.

Additionally, she has specifically set aside twenty billion in funds to request your assistance.”

Jiang Xu, “The twenty billion you’re talking about, is it your currency or mine?”

If it was the other side’s currency, it wouldn’t be worth much, and Jiang Xu wouldn’t be interested.

The other party said, “Of course, it’s in Longguo currency.”

In that case, Jiang Xu became a bit interested.

After all, twenty billion was no small sum, and he indeed needed the money right now.

But he also needed to assess how serious Lifuzhen’s situation was.

If it was too difficult, he wouldn’t be able to earn that money.

The other side said, “With the charges that have been levied against Miss Li, she’s looking at around fifteen years in prison.”

Jiang Xu thought for a moment and said, “I can try to save her.

“But one thing is that I can’t guarantee one hundred percent success, and another is that the money needs to be given to me first.”

“This…” The other party hesitated while cursing inwardly.

It was just too greedy.

This was simply an exemption from liability with a guaranteed base salary.

Jiang Xu: “You can ask her about it and then decide. These are my terms, it’s up to you whether you accept them or not.”

“Alright, then I’ll contact you later.”

Jiang Xu hung up the phone.

He began dealing with company matters.

Today, as soon as the market opened, Blueprint’s stock price hit the daily limit within a few minutes.

Over the long holiday, Blueprint’s performance was very impressive.

Sales in each category had increased several-fold.

If Jiang Xu were to release this data, the valuation of it by various investment institutions would surely increase.

But he thought better of it.

Mainly because he was worried that Jack Ma would react unfavorably.

After all, they were both in the e-commerce business.

Although they each held shares in the other’s enterprise, their stakes were not large.

If Blueprint’s growth was too rapid, Jack Ma would definitely lose sleep over it.

Best to keep these figures to himself for now.

Some day, when Jiang Xu needed money, he would sell the shares at a high price and then release the data after the stock had fallen to a certain extent.

At the moment, there weren’t many issues that required Jiang Xu’s personal attention; everything was resolved in half an hour.

On impulse, he opened the web version of Daily Headlines and started browsing the news.

Several hot-tagged news items caught his eye.

[Famous actress Zhou Qingyue’s newly listed entertainment company’s stock price soars at opening]

[Zhou Qingyue’s net worth is close to five billion]

[Zhou Qingyue expected to compete for a top ten spot among the country’s under-30 female tycoons next year]

Jiang Xu clicked on the first piece of news.

It was about the entertainment company that she had started with Jiang Xiaoyan.

The company had always taken a niche track to avoid direct competition with Jiang Xu from the beginning.

It only produced rural dramas and period dramas, targeting the middle-aged and older demographic.

These users had time and money and were very stable.

As long as the quality was decent, they would follow a show from start to finish.

When the company went public, the submitted data was impressive, so the stock price rose by 5% at the opening.

Of course, the reason for such a significant increase had something to do with Jiang Xu.

Even though Zhou Qingyue had never associated the company with Jiang Xu from the get-go.

But outsiders didn’t see it that way; everyone assumed it had something to do with Jiang Xu.

There was also an interview video.

Zhou Qingyue was wearing a black evening dress in the video with a confident smile, looking radiant and poised.

She seemed to have truly undergone a transformation.

And she also mentioned in the video that she would be investing in multiple companies next to grow the industry even further.

Additionally, she stated that she would make time for live streaming.

Clearly, she had noticed the success of An Nuonuo, Chu Youwei, and Bai Xiaoya and now could not hold back.

Jiang Xu nodded his head.

If she could indeed let go of herself and focus on her business, then her future achievements wouldn’t be small.

In a few more years, she might even be able to create a wealthy dynasty of her own.

Even now, with a net worth of five billion, she was already many times stronger than many local tycoons.

However, looking at the current development, it seemed unlikely that Zhou Qingyue would stay here forever.

Thinking this, Jiang Xu made a call to Avi: “Check how much longer Zhou Qingyue’s contract with the company has before it expires.”
