In a private room of a restaurant not too far from Jiang Xu's office, he met with An Feng.
For some reason, seeing this young man again made An Feng somewhat uneasy.
After they sat down, Jiang Xu cut right to the chase, saying, "Uncle, do you know, Zhang Xiaohui has sent people after Nuonuo before?"
An Feng's body jerked, his eyes instantly flashing with a terrifying light. "What did you say?!"
His daughter, who had always been his pride and joy, could not be harmed by anyone.
Jiang Xu laid out the story without any embellishment, explaining Zhang Xiaohui's plan to use underlings to chase after An Nuonuo."
He also mentioned the subsequent events of how he managed to get the unfinished building.
After hearing this, An Feng's face was incredibly gloomy.
What he previously knew about how Jiang Xu acquired the unfinished building had been edited by Zhang Xiaohui.
She had said nothing about her own actions within these events.
Jiang Xu looked at him and said: "Uncle An, can you ensure that she won't go after Nuonuo again in the future?
A woman of her wealth with such a substantial network behind her is formidable.
Even if you send Nuonuo abroad, you can't guarantee 100 percent safety."
Originally, Jiang Xu was not going to interfere in their affairs.
However, he didn't expect that because of Zhang Xiaohui, An Feng had divorced Li Yuanjuan.
From this perspective, An Feng was not exactly a saint either.
But if it wasn't for Zhang Xiaohui fanning the flames, things wouldn't have gotten this far.
This time he met with An Feng because he wanted to see what An Feng would decide to do after learning about this.
If he did not inquire about it or didn't care much.
Then, that was fine.
In the future, he would handle Zhang Xiaohui himself.
An Feng sat there, his expression shifting continuously.
Suddenly, he lifted his head, his eyes staring at Jiang Xu with a strange gleam.
His breathing became rapid in this very moment: "What if... I wanted to take everything from Zhang Xiaohui. Can you help?!"
As expected of the richest man in his past life, once he determined his resolve, it could be truly frightening.
But how could he succeed if he didn't have a bit of ruthlessness?
Besides, Zhang Xiaohui was the one who started all of this.
She responded to someone saving her life by sabotaging that person's family and also planned to harm his daughter.
If you didn't take her down, who else should they target?
Jiang Xu asked seriously: "How far are you planning on going, uncle?
Will you leave her destitute and homeless?"
"That won't be necessary." An Feng shook his head, "If I can take most of her assets, that would be enough. After all… she's pregnant.
For the future, we can make sure she is provided for but we can't let her have any capability to harm Nuonuo again."
Wow, really, great job.
Jiang Xu was completely speechless.
It was so extraordinary that it made his scalp tingle.
But whatever.
Jiang Xu didn't want to deal with any other messy stuff.
He just had one goal, to bring down Zhang Xiaohui.
In this process, he might even benefit from it.
An Feng earnestly sought Jiang Xu's advice on how he could achieve this goal.
Jiang Xu thought for a while and said: "First, you need to completely ease Zhang Xiaohui's suspicions about you.
She is a very cautious person.
You can suggest signing a prenuptial agreement before you legally register your marriage with her, stating that you will not claim any of her assets.
Moreover, you should make this suggestion during periods when her mood is unstable due to her visiting relatives.
Doing it at this time will move her more.
Then, she will most likely be a bit embarrassed, leading her to voluntarily offer part of her assets to you.
You can't agree to accept them. Your refusal must be very firm.
Only accept when Zhang Xiaohui becomes angry and forcefully insists on giving them to you."
This will greatly reduce her suspicion of you."
An Feng's eyes lit up. "And then?"
Jiang Xu shook his head: "I haven't figured out what comes next.
Uncle An, I suggest you take the first step and then consider what comes next."
In reality, Jiang Xu already had ideas about how to execute the subsequent steps.
However, he couldn't reveal them all at once.
In that case, he would not retain much of his value to An Feng.
Then, he wouldn't be able to get much benefit from this operation.
An Feng's gaze flickered and he nodded his head. "Alright, I understand. I'll do as you suggested."
By the time Jiang Xu got home, it was already half past nine in the evening.
After washing up, he went to the office and turned on the computer.
He checked the stats of the website's backend.
Visitor count: 125,858.
Registered user count: 65,398.
Recharge user count: 10,506.
Total recharge amount: 125,652 yuan.
This data was a bit beyond Jiang Xu's expectations.
The main surprise was the payment ratio, which had actually reached 6:1.
Jiang Xu had originally estimated a ratio of 20:1 would be quite decent.
The reason could be because Jiang Xiaoyan had done a great job with piracy prevention.
Usually, pirated software available on the market can be caught by crawlers.
But Jiang Xiaoyan used a new anti-piracy method.
This couldn't be captured by crawler software.
Those who wanted to publish pirated versions would have to type them out manually.
This made the cost too high.
Moreover, the website had just gone online and had not drawn the attention of pirate websites.
There were no pirated versions available online.
So, users who wanted to read had no choice but to pay.
Then, Jiang Xu checked the various data for "Martial Universe."
Total in-bookmark collections: 20,132.
Number of subscribers: 5,230.
Average subscription: 3,956.
This data was rather shocking.
Probably only a few on the Dotdot platform could achieve this average subscription data.
This was a good start.
The other novels didn't have such good results.
A city-themed novel right after "Martial Universe" had rather impressive performance.
The main story was about an ordinary guy obtaining a treasure and emerging from obscurity.
It was a common story about getting the school beauty, female boss, rich woman, etc.
The plot seemed very old-fashioned to Jiang Xu, but for many readers new to web novels,
it was incredibly spicy.
After checking the data, Jiang Xu went to bed.
The website had just started operating and didn't require staff to work night shifts yet.
When the number of users increased, they would need to set up customer service and schedule programmers for night shifts.
Turn off the lights, go to sleep.
The next morning.
After Jiang Xu finished breakfast and before he had a chance to turn on his computer,
Chen Yue and Jiang Shan arrived.
"Let's go, son, show us the building." said Chen Yue.
"Okay, let's go and have a look." Jiang Xu grabbed the car keys and handed them to Jiang Shan, "Dad, you drive."
Jiang Shan saw the magnificent form of the new car and instantly brightened up. "Nice car, very handsome."
At this time, Mercedes was still a luxury brand in the eyes of the Chinese.
Driving it out was a matter of great prestige.
Jiang Shan got into the car and was enamored with it.
Chen Yue then said, "Invite Nuonuo as well. Let's go together. I also have something to tell her."
Jiang Xu: "What is it?"
Chen Yue: "Guess?"
