Chapter 655: Chapter 655: Thoughts Never Before Considered
An Nuonuo sat down next to Jiang Xu holding her phone.
On the phone, a video was playing.
The background seemed to be the open space on the ground floor of Nuomi Group headquarters.
A massive amount of roses had been arranged into a heart shape.
In the middle stood a very handsome boy, holding a megaphone and shouting, “Chu Youwei, I like you, be my girlfriend!”
“Who is this guy?” Jiang Xu glanced at it and felt embarrassed for the fellow.
Public confession was just too awkward.
Completely forgetting how he had proposed to An Nuonuo himself.
An Nuonuo pursed her lips, “I don’t know, this was sent to me by my cousin.
She’s now so scared that she dares not go out.
The guy has been there refusing to leave, it seems he won’t stop until my cousin agrees.”
Jiang Xu had Liu Dahai go find out more about the guy before making any next moves.
Jiang Xu now had a vast amount of information at his disposal.
He had also built up a huge personal information database.
In less than ten minutes, Liu Dahai sent the complete information about the man to Jiang Xu.
Xiao Jibo, 28 years old, returned from studying abroad, owns a family business.
The main base is in Magic City, with a scale that’s roughly one-twentieth of Jiang Xu’s.
It’s also what many ordinary people would consider a ceiling.
From the information given by Liu Dahai, there wasn’t anything negative about this guy.
He also seemed to be a decent person in his everyday interactions.
Based on this information, this man was more than enough for Chu Youwei.
But An Nuonuo frowned slightly, “I don’t like him, I don’t know why, but I just didn’t like him the first time I saw him.”
An Nuonuo rarely spoke like this.
If her first impression was really that bad, then there really was a problem.
Jiang Xu hummed in response and called Ally to have the person removed.
Then he touched An Nuonuo’s belly, “Still no reaction?”
“No.” Speaking of this, An Nuonuo’s mood dropped somewhat, “What exactly is going on, I don’t understand.”
Three days after Chen Yue gave birth, An Nuonuo dragged Jiang Xu to the hospital for a check-up again.
Both of them were found to have no problems at all.
The doctor even said that Jiang Xu’s sperm was much stronger and more active than the average person’s.
In the end, Jiang Xu could only attribute it to metaphysics.
Their child might be alive somewhere, not yet able to be reincarnated.
They surely couldn’t ask someone to hurry up and pass away in order to be reincarnated, right?
Yeah, that made sense.
Thinking this way, he felt at ease.
The two of them nestled on the couch and chatted.
They ended up talking about the number of fans they had.
An Nuonuo said, “My fan count is almost at sixty million now, and Sister Xiaoya has over nine million.
My cousin’s growth is rapid, almost reaching ten million now.
She works hard, live streaming for over twelve hours every day.”
Jiang Xu frowned, “She doesn’t need to push herself so hard.”
Sitting for twelve hours a day for a long time could lead to squares on the bum.
“I’ve talked to her about it, but she won’t listen,” An Nuonuo said softly, “My cousin said she wants to earn more money for the group, to repay us.”
Jiang Xu picked up his phone and sent a message to Ally.
Strictly control Chu Youwei’s live streaming time.
No more than eight hours per day.
Streaming for too long can also reduce the quality.
Not sustainable in the long run.
Jiang Xu understood Chu Youwei’s thoughts.
She felt she had taken too much from them before and now wanted to give back, now that she had the ability.
Jiang Xu said, “The focus of our work from now on needs to be on increasing yours and cousin’s fan base.”
“Get your fans to break a hundred million and your cousin’s to reach thirty million.”
“Mm-hmm.” An Nuonuo nodded, “I got it. By the way, when is our TV drama going to be aired?”
Post-production was already complete, but Jiang Xu had yet to see the final cut.
“The director called me yesterday to say that the final cut is ready. I’ve sent someone to get it so we can take a look.”
Soon, someone delivered the film.
The two of them watched with keen interest.
The opening theme was very pleasing to the ear, and the transitions, background music, and picture quality were all top-notch.
Watching themselves act in the drama felt very novel to both of them.
After a while, Bai Xiaoya also came running over.
“Wow, the drama is out! I want to watch it too.”
Bai Xiaoya sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding a fruit plate, completely mesmerized by the show.
She even gave her comments from time to time.
Jiang Xu asked Bai Xiaoya with a smile, “From your ‘deer’ perspective, do you think this TV drama has the potential to be a huge hit?”
“Absolutely!” Bai Xiaoya didn’t hesitate for a moment as she said, “Not to mention the plot is smooth and original.
With just your good looks and popularity, even if you were acting out a piece of shit, there would be loads of people watching.”
Jiang Xu said, “Well said, but let’s not say that again.”
After watching a few episodes, Jiang Xu made up his mind.
He would wait until the opening of the hot pot chain stores before broadcasting the drama.
Additionally, when he had some spare time, he would take An Nuonuo to shoot a video of them eating at their own hot pot restaurant to edit into the TV series.
“Oh, right.” Jiang Xu turned to Bai Xiaoya, “Have any of the Bai Family people come to harass you?”
“They haven’t,” Bai Xiaoya replied, eating a cherry and sneering, “But lately, there have been a few guys deliberately approaching me.
No need to guess, they must be sent by them.”
“Take care of yourself,” Jiang Xu said, “If it really comes to it, I can arrange some bodyguards for you.
Also, try to avoid some entertainment venues to prevent being drugged.”
If she were compromised, it would cause a severe blow to ‘Blueprint’s’ stock prices.
Developing a CEO into a social media influencer is exactly like this.
In good times it can bring in huge profits.
In bad times, it can also suffer significant backlash.
Bai Xiaoya nodded.
The next day, Jiang Xu went to the company alone.
An Nuonuo, on the other hand, went to school.
In fact, Jiang Xu also longed to spend every day at school.
Attending classes, eating barbecue with classmates, boasting and having fun.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t do that just yet.
Arriving at the group’s entrance.
“Stop the car,” Jiang Xu said.
Jiang Xu rolled down the window and saw Xiao Jibo once again on the square.
And this time, there were even more people, and the spectacle was even bigger than yesterday.
Jiang Xu noticed many people nearby with professional cameras filming the scene.
It was clear they were well-prepared.
“Youwei, I love you, I really do!” Xiao Jibo shouted with a megaphone, “I won’t give up, I will come here every day until you agree!”
There was a lot of murmuring from the surrounding crowd.
“Wow, he’s so passionate.”
“If a guy this outstanding confessed to me, I’d definitely say yes.”
“Ah, really, Chu Youwei is way too much. Why doesn’t she just accept him with such a great guy?”
…
Security personnel from the group came to dissuade them.
However, since this was a public place, they didn’t have the right to simply drive people off.
Jiang Xu watched Xiao Jibo from a distance, feeling that something was amiss.
