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

Zhou Qingyue’s contract had only two months left until expiration.

If Jiang Xu were to be more ruthless, more cold-hearted, by making Zhou Qingyue take on a crazy amount of bookings for appearances and ads during these two months, he could at least earn a few more billion.

However, after briefly thinking it over, Jiang Xu still said, “Alright, then you go find Avi to handle the relevant procedures.”

“Thank you,” Zhou Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief, expressing her immense gratitude, “How about I treat you and Nuonuo to dinner tonight?”

If Jiang Xu were unwilling, she would have no alternative, and it was even less likely she would breach the contract herself.

Because her penalty for breaching the contract was a whopping ten billion.

Jiang Xu hummed in reply, “Okay, Nuonuo and I will be there on time.”

After ending the call, Jiang Xu sent a message to An Nuonuo.

She quickly replied with an okay.

Then she sent two photos.

One showed her feeding Little Yanyan milk.

The other was a selfie with Little Yanyan.

Jiang Xu smiled and replied, “If we have a daughter in the future, she will definitely be a hundred times more beautiful than her.”

An Nuonuo: Is it right to say that about your own little sister?

Jiang Xu: What’s wrong with that? Is she going to beat me up or what?

An Nuonuo sent over a smiling face.

In the evening, Jiang Xu took An Nuonuo to a newly opened restaurant in Magic City.

Now the two of them didn’t need to bring a dozen or even scores of bodyguards when they went out.

They just brought four bodyguards, two men and two women in total.

By the time they arrived at the restaurant, Zhou Qingyue was already there.

She was dressed simply today, without makeup, just like the girl next door.

This made her seem all the more comfortable to look at.

“You’re here, have a seat first,” Zhou Qingyue said with a smile, rising to her feet.

She picked up the already decanted wine and spoke as she poured, “This restaurant is mine, so later on, please feel free to give some feedback.”

“Oh?” Jiang Xu was somewhat surprised, “When did you open it?”

Zhou Qingyue: “It’s been about two months, but I haven’t advertised it yet.

I want to collect genuine customer feedback first and then make it public after a while.”

Jiang Xu nodded.

The most common side business for celebrities is the restaurant industry.

It has low costs, and with their own influence, they can easily attract fans to spend money there.

Among these, opening hot pot restaurants is the most popular choice.

Because it doesn’t require chefs, only fresh ingredients and good service and ambiance.

Zhou Qingyue inadvertently gave Jiang Xu a reminder.

It didn’t seem too late to enter the restaurant business now.

In his previous life, a certain company was already successful.

At its market value peak, that company was worth 470 billion G Yuan.

An absolute behemoth.

Even though its stock price plummeted later due to decisions gone wrong, it still had a market value of close to a hundred billion.

The company went public in 2018. Maybe now he could steal a march on them.

With that thought, Jiang Xu sent a WeChat message to Ally.

He asked her to get a market research report prepared first.

If Jiang Xu were to get into the hot pot chain business, the advantage would be tremendous.

He, An Nuonuo, Chu Youwei, and Bai Xiaoya, all four of them came with strong influence.

As long as they worked hard on the environment, management, ingredients, and pricing, failing was absolutely impossible.

They wouldn’t have to worry about customers.

Having dinner here tonight inadvertently provided Jiang Xu with a new perspective.

“I’ll drink to the two of you,” Zhou Qingyue lifted her glass.

Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo also raised their glasses.

The three of them drank it all in one go.

Zhou Qingyue poured herself a full glass of red wine again, “For the second toast, I apologize for all the wrongs I’ve done in the past.

Thank you for being willing to forgive me.”

After finishing, she drained the glass once more.

Even after two large glasses of red wine, Zhou Qingyue, who could hold her liquor well, had two patches of red flush on her cheeks.

An Nuonuo tried to stop Zhou Qingyue from continuing to drink, but Jiang Xu caught her hand.

He could tell that Zhou Qingyue now just wanted to vent properly.

She poured herself a third glass of wine, “This glass is to Mr. Jiang, for willing to let me leave ahead of time, thank you.

If there’s anything you need my help with in the future, I definitely won’t refuse.”

After finishing, she once again drained the glass.

Jiang Xu also poured a full glass for himself and An Nuonuo, “Hmm, let everything from the past disappear with this glass of wine, just like the wind.”

They both emptied their glasses.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled.

The meal didn’t end until very late.

At midnight, Zhou Qingyue posted an announcement: she had officially terminated her contract with Nuomi Entertainment, without any dispute, a peaceful ‘breakup,’ and hoped that her former company would do even better in the future.

Jiang Xu didn’t see this announcement until the next day.

Many fans commented below, expressing their regret and the like.

He wasn’t too emotionally stirred by it.

All he hoped was that Zhou Qingyue wouldn’t cause any more trouble in the future.

That way, they could remain friends.

Just after freshening up, Little Hammer called.

Brief and to the point.

It summed up to two words: releasing someone.

By noon, Lifuzhen called Jiang Xu, “Thanks, I’m already at the terminal, about to board the plane to Magic City.”

Jiang Xu, “What if the plane has a malfunction.”

Lifuzhen said fiercely, “Then even as a ghost, I won’t let you off.”

Jiang Xu, “I have two little kids at home, with enough children’s pee to deal with, come if you dare.”

Lifuzhen, “???”

After some banter, Lifuzhen said, “I’ll arrive this afternoon. How about dinner together tonight?”

Jiang Xu, “No time, our transaction is already complete, don’t bother me if there’s nothing important.”

Lifuzhen silently ground her teeth, “Are you really that heartless?”

She was quite angry.

She had thought that having known Jiang Xu for so long and having had many collaborations, there should be some friendship between them.

Jiang Xu said with a chuckle, “Our relationship is purely transactional, nothing more, don’t make it sound ambiguous.

Alright, I have other things to handle, goodbye.”

He hung up the phone proactively.

Ally sent a message.

The market research for opening a hotpot restaurant had already been done.

Jiang Xu asked her in surprise why she was so fast.

Ally said she had started doing this market research over a month ago.

Because she had been planning to open a chain of hotpot restaurants with her sister.

But since Jiang Xu wanted to do it too, they gave up the idea.

Knowing for sure that they couldn’t compete.

Jiang Xu immediately promised to give the two sisters a chance to invest in the future.

He spent some time reading this research report.

It was very detailed, and even included the general user group preferences and profiles for each city.

After reading it, Jiang Xu had a plan in mind.

Time to start!

He told Ally to get ready for the preliminary work.

Jiang Xu had many shopping malls under his name, so even the site rental could be directly waived.

This would give him a pricing advantage.

Not having much to do that day, Jiang Xu didn’t go to the office.

He sat on the sofa, planning to watch some TV.

An Nuonuo came running over with her smartphone, “Brother Xu, look at this.”
