"This..." An Nuonuo could not help but look towards Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu, naturally, was reluctant to let An Nuonuo agree.
But on second thought, she had her own thoughts, and he shouldn't interfere too much.
No matter what Zhou Qingyue wanted to do, as long as he kept an eye on her, there wouldn't be a big problem.
An Nuonuo understood Jiang Xu's eyes, so she nodded and agreed.
An Nuonuo was not silly.
She guessed that Zhou Qingyue suddenly approached her, there must be some other purpose.
But she was kind-hearted.
She thought.
If she could make everyone shake hands and make peace through her efforts, that would be a good thing.
Zhou Qingyue suggested going to a nearby barbecue stall.
She ordered a lot of food and also ordered a can of beer.
Zhou Qingyue laughed, "I'm an adult, and I can drink."
Jiang Xu sat down and started to chat with Fu Yanjie.
Zhou Qingyue kept talking to An Nuonuo.
The relationship between women is quite strange.
Even though they didn't have much interaction before and there was even some conflict,
In the blink of an eye, they could talk about anything.
It was really amazing.
Jiang Xu sent a message to Fu Yanjie, asking him what he was doing.
This long holiday, their family went on a trip.
If it were like previous years,
This kid would show up at his door every morning,
Dragging him to the Internet cafe.
Fu Yanjie quickly replied, "I'm at the First Academy now, it's so beautiful, and there are so many beautiful girls.
I have decided, I want to apply here in the future."
Jiang Xu: "Ask yourself, are you up to the standard of the First Academy?"
Fu Yanjie: "Jiang Xu, watch your tone when talking to me, I happen to be your shareholder!"
Jiang Xu: "The website went online for three days, and the total recharge amount is more than 600,000."
Fu Yanjie: "Daddy!"
After messing around with Fu Yanjie for a while, the food arrived.
Jiang Xu didn't say a word during the whole meal, just eating quietly on the side.
He seemed to be disinterested, but in reality, he was attentively listening to the conversation between the two women.
He was mainly afraid that Zhou Qingyue would say something with a trap.
But from the beginning to the end, Zhou Qingyue didn't say anything that she shouldn't have.
She just talked about some day-to-day matters.
And some interesting things that happened when she was filming.
The atmosphere on the surface seemed quite harmonious.
Zhou Qingyue drank a whole bottle of beer herself, her face flushed, becoming even more charming.
Attracting the gazes of many men passing by, staring at her incessantly.
Of course, no one would come over to harass her.
Reality is not a novel.
Jiang Xu stood up to pay the bill.
He was unwilling to spend Zhou Qingyue's money.
Then he pulled An Nuonuo away.
Zhou Qingyue waved with a smile.
After they disappeared from her sight, the smile on her face disappeared.
Her gaze became icy cold.
On the way, Jiang Xu advised An Nuonuo, "That person, she has no good intentions.
You should try to avoid contact with her in the future.
If you really can't avoid her, let me accompany you."
An Nuonuo quietly said, "Can't you just resolve your conflict?
Apart from being former classmates, you two are also working together now.
She even portrayed the female lead in two of your novels.
Even if... even if she didn't treat you well in the past, after all, it's all over."
Jiang Xu shook his head.
Some things, he couldn't say to An Nuonuo.
Becoming strangers with her, Jiang Xu thought he was already magnanimous enough.
What Zhou Qingyue did in her previous life, even if she used all the water of the rivers, she could never wash it away.
He dropped An Nuonuo off at her home.
As soon as Jiang Xu got home, he received a call from An Feng.
His tone was excited, "The method you suggested really worked.
After proactively telling Zhang Xiaohui that I didn't want anything, she was profoundly moved.
Then she said she wanted to give me a billion."
Jiang Xu's heart stirred, "So, Uncle, what did you say?"
An Feng replied, "Initially, I didn't want to. I thought that might make her suspicious.
But on second thought, I accepted it.
And I told Zhang Xiaohui that I would use the money for investment.
The goal was to own more assets and become more successful.
Then I could marry her openly and honestly.
And that way, she wouldn't lose face by others saying I'm not good enough for her."
What a guy, he thought.
Uncle, you were born for this.
The little tricks of a woman's heart, you've got them well under control.
Indeed, gold always shines no matter what.
While Jiang Xu silently mocked in his heart, he was full of praises on the surface.
He then discussed some things to pay attention to in the future.
On the morning of the fifth day of the long holiday.
The first thing Jiang Xu did after getting up was to check the website backend.
The total site visits had reached one million.
Total registered users were up to two hundred and fifty thousand.
There were more than one hundred and twenty thousand recharge users.
The total recharge amount was as much as seven hundred and fifty thousand.
The average subscription of "Martial Universe" was nearing five thousand.
The average daily income was about three hundred.
This income would definitely be outstanding compared to the current average salary.
Also, the performance of the other books was gradually improving.
The website's performance was getting better day by day.
After about a month of operation, they could start recruiting authors.
By then, the website's daily activity wouldn't be too low, and they could sustain some authors.
In the novel section of the forum, "Martial Universe" was highly popular.
Every day there were quite a few people posting and discussing the plot.
This novel appealed to many readers who were just getting started with novels.
It was like a punch in a lower dimension, readers were instantly hooked.
Everyone couldn't get enough of it.
But there were also quite a few who complained about the lack of pirated resources.
In this era, the awareness of paying is still very weak.
Many people believed that novels should be free.
If they had to pay, it was considered utterly sinful.
To get them to change their minds was not an overnight job.
At the moment, all Jiang Xu could do was to prevent plagiarism.
Smother each instance they found.
At around eight, An Nuonuo came over with breakfast.
"I made these rice noodle rolls myself, do you think they're good?"
The young girl looked at him expectantly.
The rice noodle rolls gleaming on his desk were transparent.
As soon as he opened it, he could smell a pleasant aroma.
Just by looking at its appealing visual, he knew its taste wouldn't disappoint either.
Jiang Xu took a bite, then looked at her with a serious face: "You must stop making these in the future."
"Ah, are they that terrible?" An Nuonuo looked flustered.
"No." Jiang Xu cracked a smile, "They are so tasty that I'm afraid I'll lose my appetite for other foods."
"You're annoying, you frightened me." The girl patted her chest and glared at him without amusement.
Jiang Xu laughed heartily.
After finishing breakfast, he got back to work.
The workload for today was a lot more.
There were more and more readers on the website that needed maintenance, and some who were promoting their stuff.
It seemed they needed to hire a couple more customer service reps.
They couldn't let Lin Nan and the others keep doing this nitty-gritty work.
He kept busy until the afternoon.
Jiang Xu stretched lazily.
He had been sitting all day, and his body was getting a bit stiff.
Just when he was about to ask An Nuonuo out for a meal, his phone rang.
After picking up, his face showed a look of surprise.
