Chapter 773: Chapter 773: Merely Relying on Beauty

An Nuonuo heard this and knew Jiang Xu was talking nonsense.

She huffed, turned her head to look out of the window, and ignored Jiang Xu.

A repeat of the scenario was impossible.

Jiang Xu smiled and wasn’t in a rush.

If today wasn’t the day, it didn’t mean tomorrow wouldn’t be.

If not tomorrow, the day after still held opportunities.

After all, a honeymoon was bound to last about two months; there were plenty of chances to pry open An Nuonuo’s lips.

——————

Time moved forward to mid-August.

Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo returned to their home in Magic City.

By then, students had about half a month before school started again.

The weather had also reached its hottest stage.

Back home, Jiang Xu checked his weight.

He had gained ten pounds, but it wasn’t noticeable, as he still maintained a tall and straight posture.

An Nuonuo also stepped onto the scale.

She breathed a sigh of relief, “Thank goodness, still ninety-five pounds.”

Her weight was super standard.

Despite eating delicacies from various places every day during their honeymoon, she hadn’t gained any weight.

Apart from her own physical constitution, Jiang Xu felt that the most likely reason was his insistence on exercising with her every couple of days.

Especially the exercise in the evenings, which proved surprisingly effective.

After resting at home for a day, Jiang Xu took An Nuonuo to the company.

They even prepared wedding sweets.

This was the first time the couple appeared at the company together since getting married.

“Clap!” “Clap!” “Clap!”

As soon as they entered the company, everyone started clapping vigorously, all very excited.

An Nuonuo distributed the wedding sweets to everyone.

“Sorry, we went on our honeymoon and just got back, so the sweets are a bit late.”

“No worries, thank you, madam boss.”

“Wishing the boss and madam boss a harmonious and smooth life.”

“Thanks madam boss, you’re so beautiful.”

——————

Inside the company, there were quite a few employees who were fans of An Nuonuo.

They were thrilled to see her.

Some of the braver ones even actively requested to take photos with her.

An Nuonuo obliged everyone’s requests.

The employees all hailed An Nuonuo as the world’s best boss’s wife.

With the husband and wife duo, one being firm and the other gentle, they could firmly control the entire group.

After distributing the sweets, An Nuonuo went to find Chu Youwei.

It had been a long time since she saw her cousin, and she missed her.

Jiang Xu had just settled into the office when he received a call from Yang Houliang.

It was a conversation with little substance.

But Jiang Xu picked up on the underlying message, it was about money.

Jiang Xu asked, “Mr. Yang, how much is the school short on funds now?”

Yang Houliang said somewhat awkwardly, “Because the school is using top-quality materials in many areas, the budget isn’t quite sufficient, we’re short by one hundred million.”

Jiang Xu inquired, “So, Mr. Yang, how much longer until it’s built?”

Yang Houliang replied, “Around October, give or take, providing the funds come through.”

Jiang Xu nodded, “Okay, I’ll have finance transfer the money immediately.”

Jiang Xu held not-small expectations for this ‘Xu’an University’.

If it could enter the top ten rankings of universities in the country, that would be even better.

Then his offspring could attend their own university, even if their grades weren’t high—wouldn’t that be wonderful?

Jiang Xu was no stick-in-the-mud; he was willing to do anything that benefited his family.

This was something he hadn’t even told An Nuonuo yet.

After the school is built, I’ll personally take her there for the unveiling ceremony. It should be a nice surprise for her.

Once the call ended, Jiang Xu instructed the finance department to transfer the money.

Then he connected with Avi to inquire about her progress in expanding the market overseas. How was it going?

“First, congratulations to the boss on your happy marriage. My side is progressing smoothly, and I’ve already captured over half of the market in six countries.”

“What?!” Jiang Xu was shocked. “Are you joking?”

Jiang Xu initially thought that giving Avi three years to complete the task would already be quite an achievement for her.

But now, Avi was telling him that, in just two or three short months, she had already secured more than half the market share in six countries.

“No joke, it’s true.”

“How did you do it?” Jiang Xu asked humbly for advice.

“It’s nothing much,” Avi said somewhat bashfully. “Just relied on beauty.”

Jiang Xu: “…”

Seemingly afraid that Jiang Xu might misunderstand, Avi quickly added another line: “Boss, I didn’t let them take advantage of me.”

“Um… as they say in your country, ‘fishing’.”

Jiang Xu was stunned: “No, who taught you that?”

“I read it in novels,” Avi said matter-of-factly. “I read novels when I’m bored.”

Jiang Xu: “Such as?”

Avi: “Titles like ‘The Arrogant Female CEO and Her 108 Pretty Little Wives’, ‘Abstinence Love’, ‘Man, You’ve Successfully Caught My Attention’.”

“‘My Story With Eighteen Campus Heartthrobs’, ‘This Woman Is Clearly Shy but Deliberately Acts Pure’ and so on.”

Jiang Xu couldn’t help but rub his temples.

He felt that domestic web novels had led Avi astray.

However, it was still a good thing overall.

Avi’s progress was much faster than Jiang Xu had anticipated.

At this rate, it might be possible to completely capture the main markets in overseas upper-middle-income countries in about a year and a half.

Jiang Xu encouraged Avi with a few words, then told her that next month’s bonus would include an extra five million.

A thousand words are not as good as giving money directly.

Jiang Xu had long understood this principle.

After ending the call, Jiang Xu saw another piece of news.

That was Ju Factory officially entering the mobile phone field.

And they released three models right off the bat.

Jiang Xu used his own Kuaiyin account to personally release a video congratulating Ju Factory on their entry.

He even tagged Ju Factory’s official account in the comment section.

Monopoly by a single company is not a good thing domestically. Over time, it will lead to complacency and hinder technological innovation.

Jiang Xu was also looking forward to that man shouting ‘far ahead’ again soon.

Jiang Xu’s broad-minded attitude earned him a solid round of fan support on the internet once again.

Ju Factory also quickly made a thank-you video.

They had never seen a competitor with such a mindset in all their years of operation.

A competitor willing to advertise for them was truly unexpected.

Jiang Xu’s maneuver successfully boosted the sales of Mei Zhu phones once more.

Something he hadn’t anticipated himself.

Jiang Xu signed documents for more than an hour until his hand was sore.

Looking at the time, it was noon.

Time for lunch.

But just at that moment, Chen Yue called again.

Without guessing, Jiang Xu knew what the purpose of her call would be.

He pressed the answer button.

“Son, have you eaten?” Chen Yue’s cautious voice came through.

“Mom,” Jiang Xu said listlessly, “Nuonuo isn’t pregnant yet.”

A son knows his mother best.

During the honeymoon period, Chen Yue called every so often.

Though she disguised the topic,

she would always steer the conversation towards children in the end.
