Taking advantage of the beauty being poor, fooling her into being my girlfriend

Forming and joining a business alliance is essentially not illegal.

However, Jiang Xu was rather worried about this person, fearing that any underhanded tactics might backfire on him.

But to outright reject the offer would be to disrespect these tycoons.

If not necessary, Jiang Xu didn’t want to offend anyone, he just wanted to make money steadily.

After some thought, Jiang Xu said, “I am flattered by President Ma’s recognition. Joining the business alliance is naturally not a problem, but I have two conditions.”

Jack Ma nodded, “Go ahead.”

Jiang Xu, “First, the business alliance must not engage in any illegal activities. Second, the business alliance must not engage in monopolistic practices. I will immediately withdraw if either of these is violated.”

At this point, Shencheng Ma, Boss Zhou, Boss Xu, and the others also spoke up. They agreed with Jiang Xu’s view.

JackMa smiled and said, “Of course, we are all decent businessmen. We wouldn’t engage in such activities.”

“Great,” Jiang Xu smiled, “then I’ll be thefirst to join.”

“I’ll join too.”

Ultimately, everyone agreed to join the newly established business chamber. “By the way,” Jiang Xu asked, “what’s the name of our business chamber?” “Xiaoyao Commerce Chamber,” JackMa said proudly, “It conveys a sense of carefree and boundless joy.”

It was this person who could come up with such a name.

Boss Zhou took a sip of tea, “So, who will take the role of chairman for the first session of the commerce chamber?”

JackMa, “Since I’m the initiator, I’ll take on the role of the inaugural chairman. It doesn’t worry me to put in the extra effort.”

Shencheng Ma, “President Ma is busy with a lot of businesses. Let me do it; I’m relatively free.”

Boss Xu, “I think I’m more appropriate for the position.”

Everyone knew how many benefits could come from being the chairman of the commerce chamber, and no one was willing to easily give it up.

Jiang Xu didn’t get involved.

Truthfully, he wasn’t interested in the position.

Along with the benefits, one also had to bear the corresponding responsibilities.

He just needed to follow his own path methodically to reach the pinnacle.

He poured himself a glass of fifty-year-old Moutai.

He took a sip.

It was very mellow, with a fragrant aroma, and went down smoothly.

Such an aged wine was hard to buy outside, and its value was incredibly high.

The tycoons argued for over ten minutes, with none willing to budge.

Then they said they would decide the chairman by vote.

However, the first round of voting resulted in everyone having the same number of votes.

So, a second round was conducted.

It was still the same.

“Alas, it seems I’m not destined for the chairman’s seat,” JackMa sighed, “In that case, I nominate Mr. Jiang.”

With his eyes lighting up, Boss Xu said, “Fine, I’ll also give my vote to Mr. Jiang.”

“Hmm,” Boss Zhou nodded, “I respect Mr. Jiang. He’s young and promising.”

Shencheng Ma, “I have no objections.”

Jiang Xu, “???”

Good heavens, is this what they mean by not striving in order to strive?

Though surprised, Jiang Xu didn’t decline.

Instead, he stood up and filled his glass, “Thank you for your generous support.

Here’s to you all; please, feel free.”

Jiang Xu wasn’t interested in fighting for the position of the commerce chamber chairman.

But if it was offered to him directly, he wouldn’t hypocritically refuse, saying he didn’t want it.

That would just be silly.

The others also raised their glasses and downed their drinks in one go.

Before long, An Nuonuo and the others returned.

Then Zhou Qingyue made her entrance.

She was dressed in a deep black evening gown.

Although not a bit of her skin was exposed, she radiated a charming and enchanting aura from head to toe.

This woman had fought her way through the entertainment industry for several years.

She had become like a barrel of fine aged wine, increasingly rich in flavor.

Upon seeing Zhou Qingyue, the eyes of several tycoons at the scene simultaneously lit up.

Even though they had seen countless beautiful women, Zhou Qingyue could definitely be ranked in the top five they had ever encountered.

“Mr. Jiang,” Boss Xu said to Jiang Xu with a suggestive smile, “I’ve heard that this big star is your close lady friend. Have you two ever…”

The other tycoons also showed signs of interest.

Even as business magnates, they all had a heart for gossip.

Jiang Xu spoke seriously, “No, those are just rumors. She is merely a classmate of mine and an artist signed under my company.

Until now, the only woman I’ve had is my fiancee, and it will remain the same in the future.”

In such circumstances, Jiang Xu had to assert his position unequivocally.

To prevent these business magnates from attempting to send women his way now and then.

The gathering lasted until past two in the morning before everyone left.

“Ugh, I’m dead tired.”

Zhou Qingyue also took a ride in Jiang Xu’s car.

Once she sat down, she started massaging her calves while complaining.

“You’re complaining about nothing,” Jiang Xu said irritably. “You made ten million just for a few hours of appearance.”

Even the appearance fees of the four biggest stars weren’t this outrageous.

It was estimated that a small part of it was given extra out of consideration for Jiang Xu’s face.

Zhou Qingyue grumbled, “The company takes half, taxes take another half, and I’m left with just over two million in my hands, alright?”

This woman’s appetite was growing bigger.

She complained that earning over two million in one night was too little.

He couldn’t bother with her.

His gaze fell on An Nuonuo, who had been sitting quietly since getting in the car: “What were you talking about with the wives of those tycoons?”

An Nuonuo’s face flushed red, and she shook her head vigorously: “Nothing, we didn’t talk about anything.”

Jiang Xu spotted a red flag.

Such behavior clearly meant there was something.

He decided to ‘interrogate’ her when they got home.

Zhou Qingyue turned her head to look out the car window.

A trace of desolation flashed in her eyes.

She ultimately couldn’t insert herself between the two of them.

Even after so much effort, it was useless.

At the moment, she had the idea of giving up in her mind.

Just like people say, at an airport, you can never wait for a ship.

First, drop Zhou Qingyue off.

By the time Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo got home, it was nearly three in the morning.

Because on the way back, they had also stopped for some skewers.

After arriving home.

Zhou Qingyue sent a WeChat message: I give up, I won’t chase after you anymore. Let’s each have our peace. From now on, our relationship is only superior and subordinate, nothing else.

Jiang Xu replied immediately: If you can’t do it, you’re a bastard, a son of a bitch.

Zhou Qingyue: Jiang Xu, you’re good-for-nothing, damn thing. Retract that, pretend I didn’t say it. I’ll harass you for a lifetime!

Jiang Xu couldn’t be bothered to respond.

Jiang Xu pinned An Nuonuo against the wall: “Tell me, what did those people say to you?”

An Nuonuo’s gaze darted away: “No… really, there was nothing… let me go, I need to take a shower.”

“No, you must tell,” Jiang Xu insisted, his curiosity piqued: “If you don’t tell me, you’ll face household discipline.”

An Nuonuo’s body trembled slightly.

She had experienced Jiang Xu’s household discipline before, and it was quite a smack.
