âMom, listen to me, I wasnât bullying her, it was just a joke.â
âStill making excuses, apologize to Nuonuo right now, or Iâll butcher you, you little rascal!â
After getting pregnant, Ms. Chen Yue was particularly irritable.
No matter how Jiang Xu explained, she wouldnât listen.
Chen Yue was now seven or eight months pregnant, and it was almost time for her to give birth.
It was during the winter vacation period.
Not wanting to cause Ms. Chen Yue any distress that could affect her pregnancy, Jiang Xu could only assure her that he would definitely apologize to An Nuonuo.
Only then did Chen Yue let Jiang Xu off the hook.
After ending the call, An Nuonuo also opened the door.
Clearly, she had been eavesdropping the whole time.
âHumph, you dare to come out, watch meâ¦â Jiang Xu rolled up his sleeves, then saw An Nuonuo raising her phone.
The screen showed Chen Yueâs Weixin.
âAll right, all right, you win.â Jiang Xu raised his hands in surrender.
This kid could be quite naive sometimes, but occasionally she had her clever moments.
Generally, in such instances, Jiang Xu would have to make some concessions.
Today at noon was the day the âHandsome Guys Battleâ finals began.
After having breakfast, Jiang Xu and his group arrived at the stadium.
It was just past nine, and it was already packed with people outside.
Jiang Xu and the others went up to the sports stadium, where there was a huge floor-to-ceiling window, offering a view of the outside.
But the outside couldnât see inside.
They all took out binoculars and peered outside.
Then, exclamations burst from their mouths.
âOh my god, even Liu Dehua is here?!â
âAhhh, my idol Guo Fucheng is also here!â
âLing Junjie is here too!â
âAnd Cai Yiling has come over too, oh my goodness!â
The girls all danced with joy.
It was a scene that was rarely encountered.
Even Chu Youwei was a bit excited.
Because a singer she really liked had also arrived at the scene.
âJiang Xu, did you arrange all this?â Bai Xiaoya asked, her eyes gleaming.
âOf course not.â Jiang Xu shook his head: âSo many top singers and artists, it would cost a fortune.
They came of their own accord.â
Frankly, Jiang Xu was also quite surprised.
It seemed that these people were also attracted by the huge traffic on Spirit Turtle Island at the moment.
An opportunity this good was not to be missed.
Jiang Xu immediately made a phone call.
Then minutes later, various platforms began to publish related news.
âSeen it all: Liu Dehua actually did something like this for a bunch of guys!â
âShocking: Cai Yiling doing that kind of thing with a bunch of people first thing in the morning!â
âIncredible, Ling Junjie has been doing that sneakily without anyone knowing!â
â¦
These headlines were incredibly eye-catching.
Clicking into them, the content was a mix of laughter and tears.
But at the same time, the âHandsome Guys Battleâ contestâs heat and spread were quickly rising.
Many who originally didnât know about or werenât interested in the contest started to pay attention because their idols or favorite celebrities were also there.
The number of people booking to watch the live broadcast on the official website went up steadily.
The heat left the second place far behind.
With still some time to go before the start of the competition, a substantial number of advertisers had already approached them.
Indicating their willingness to pay a high price for a brief appearance during the competition.
Moreover, the starting bid is a seven-figure sum.
The popularity is equivalent to âSingerâ + âSinger Kingâ + âHappy Campâ!
The company was open to all comers.
As long as you paid enough money, they would make sure your product appeared on camera during the contest.
Even Jiang Xu had people prepare a large number of logos and T-shirts from powerful domestic and international advertisers well in advance.
If you paid, he would have one or more contestants wear T-shirts with your companyâs logo during their performance.
If you paid more than others, Jiang Xu would even go on stage himself to read your ad copy and display your product.
Such practices might be criticized as appearing too unseemly.
However, netizens have memories like fish, lasting only seven seconds.
Even if they criticized in the moment, theyâd forget about it shortly thereafter.
Jiang Xu would continue making money the way he always did.
Over here, Jiang Xu and Fu Yanjie were playing League of Legends on a computer.
Several girls were using binoculars to observe the scenery outside.
Especially Wang Xiaoyuan and Bai Xiaoya, who were very exuberant.
âWow, look at that guy, he has such developed muscles!â
âWhere, where, oh⦠I see him, I really want to touch them.â
âAnd that one, he looks so boyish, I want to keep him as a pet.â
âYouâre so sleazy⦠but I kind of want to, too.â
Next to them, An Nuonuo and Chu Youwei: ï¼¼(ºâ¡Âº l|l)/!
Those two are kind of scary.
After playing a few rounds of the game, the contest was about to begin.
This time, Zhou Qingyue was responsible for both hosting and performing.
Today, she dressed magnificently, showcasing all the charms a woman could possess.
Plus, perhaps because she had let go of her inhibitions, she appeared to be greatly changed from before.
Even more confident, more charming, and with a higher degree of elegance.
Yep, just like a Fantasy novel protagonist who suddenly becomes much more powerful after a realization.
The ones seated in the first and second rows were all high-profile tycoons.
After seeing Zhou Qingyue, they all displayed expressions that men would understand.
âThis little star is getting more and more impressive.â
âThatâs right, sheâs even more tasteful than a few of my close female friends.â
âAh, itâs a pity she belongs to Mr. Jiang; otherwise, I really would have liked toâ¦â
âStop thinking about it. Who dares to touch Mr. Jiangâs woman? Didnât you see even that guyâ¦â
The rest of the sentence was left unsaid, but everyone knew what he meant.
The Mei Familyâs situation had already spread throughout the circles of the top elite.
Who would have thought Jiang Xu could be so fierce, doing such a big move without making any sound?
As a result, business magnates now had a much better attitude towards Jiang Xu than before.
Even some of the business giants often seen on the internet or TV showed respect when mentioning Jiang Xu.
To put it boldly, Jiang Xu had become a legend in the circles of the wealthy elite.
âHello, everyone, welcome to the first âCampus Hunk Contestâ. I am your good friend, Zhou Qingyueâ¦â
The venue erupted with applause.
Zhou Qingyue started the event by singing a song.
After the song ended, Zhou Qingyue was about to proceed with the agenda and announce the start of the contest.
But then she heard a voice in her earpiece.
She immediately changed what she was about to say and exclaimed loudly, âBefore the contest begins, let us first thank some of the important attendees here today.
First, we have Mr. Liu Dehua sitting in the second row⦠let us welcome him with a warm round of applause.â
The camera turned to Liu Dehua, who smiled cooperatively.
The tycoons and stars present couldnât help but mentally exclaim: Jiang Xu, you really are shameless!
