Chapter 849: Chapter 849: 849: An Nuonuo with a Strict Husband

At 3:30 in the afternoon, Jiang Xu and his group had taken a charter flight to Spirit Turtle Island ahead of time.

Tomorrow, January 1st, the annual meeting of Nuomi Group would be held on Spirit Turtle Island.

Both the headquarters and subsidiaries, all employees who had not made significant mistakes at work or had too many absences, had all gone.

Accommodation and plane tickets were reimbursed by the company.

Just this part of the expenses amounted to hundreds of millions.

It was estimated that only Jiang Xu in the whole world had such grandeur, willing to spend so much money on his employees.

He could be called the best boss of the 21st century.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, Jiang Xu and his group arrived on time.

“Wow, it’s so beautiful, like a fairyland.”

The moment they exited the airport, Zhou Mengmeng couldn’t help but exclaim.

Outside, there were blue skies and white clouds, with breezes blowing occasionally.

Leaving the airport afforded a view of the rolling blue sea, instantly broadening the horizon.

There were also many trees, planted with various tropical fruit trees.

However, there were no coconut trees.

Those things could cause trouble if they fell and hit tourists.

Chu Youwei, Bai Xiaoya, and Zhou Qingyue all had faces flushed with enchantment.

The scenery and air here were very good.

Arriving here had made everyone’s mood much more relaxed.

Jiang Xu was supporting An Nuonuo.

Her belly was now slightly noticeable.

Yet, her figure remained perfect.

She hadn’t gotten fat at all.

Normally, a woman’s face would definitely round out somewhat at three to four months of pregnancy.

However, An Nuonuo broke this norm.

She looked just as she had before her pregnancy.@@novelbin@@

Even some parts had become even more voluptuous.

This added a bit of joy to Jiang Xu’s nights just before sleep.

“Ah.” Zhou Mengmeng suddenly shrieked as she looked at her phone, then turned to Jiang Xu, “Thank you, Brother Jiang, for such a substantial amount.”

“What money?” Zhou Qingyue asked.

“The money from the box office revenue sharing,” Zhou Mengmeng said happily, “It’s actually sixteen billion, my goodness.”

“No way, that much?” Zhou Qingyue was also greatly surprised.

The original plan had been for Zhou Mengmeng to have three movies released this year.

But due to an accident, only two were released in the end.

It had seemed impossible that the total box office revenue for her starring films would exceed ten billion this year.

But it had been achieved.

Though just barely.

The first movie’s final box office was over three billion six hundred million.

The second’s final box office was over five billion two hundred million.

Then, after the movies were pulled from the cinema, they also garnered over one billion more from online video platforms.

So all added up, they just barely exceeded ten billion.

Following the end of their run online, these two movies could also be sold to TV networks, which could earn a bit more.

The two movies, after deducting expenses for operation and production, had a net profit of over eight billion five hundred million.

Jiang Xu himself earned six billion.

The rest was distributed to Zhou Qingyue, Jiang Xiaoyan, and Chu Youwei.

This money was actually given in advance by Jiang Xu.

He wanted everyone to have a good year.

Otherwise, following normal financial procedures, it would have been at least three months before they received their share of the revenue.

Everyone was very happy upon receiving the money.

The least anyone got was one to two billion.

People around Jiang Xu were now enormously wealthy.

The employees of the group would arrive by plane the next morning, and then the annual meeting would start at 6:00 PM.

It was still early, so everyone was free to go about their activities.

Jiang Xu was protective of his wife, being very cautious.

“Walk slowly.”

“Be careful and look around, don’t step on anything slippery.”

“Stay away from sharp objects immediately.”

——————

An Nuonuo said weakly, “I feel like you’ve pampered me into uselessness, husband.”

Now she couldn’t even think about doing any strenuous or dangerous tasks.

If there was a dog in the street ahead, it would first get slapped by a bunch of bodyguards.

Then they would ask if it was a good dog.

Only after interrogating it and ensuring it was safe would she be allowed to pass.

It could be said that Jiang Xu had brought his protection for An Nuonuo to a crazily obsessive level.

Jiang Xu was unperturbed, “What’s wrong with being useless? As long as your husband is capable, that’s enough.”

An Nuonuo: “…”

It always felt weird, but she couldn’t quite pinpoint why.

“Husband, I want to go to the beach.”

“No, there are too many people at the beach, it’s not safe.”

“Then, how about we eat some seafood?”

“Eat less seafood, it’s not good for your health.”

“Then I want some fruit.”

“Fruits are quite cold, they’re not suitable for this weather.”

——————

An Nuonuo hung her head low.

She was completely defeated by Jiang Xu.

She couldn’t eat this, couldn’t eat that.

Could she only eat…?

After taking An Nuonuo back to their residence, Jiang Xu went to the company’s local branch.

He rarely visited this location.

All employees had to work overtime tonight.

Yes, and tomorrow as well.

The whole group, including subsidiaries, required all staff at this branch to work due to maintenance of various software applications.

Of course, the overtime pay was quadruple, and there were no shortages of rewards.

No sooner had Jiang Xu left than Bai Xiaoya came over.

She was dressed in a tight cheongsam today, looking graceful and giving off a very smooth vibe.

“Nuonuo, Jiang Xu left, right?” Bai Xiaoya asked in a low, cautious voice.

“He did,” An Nuonuo responded gloomily.

She had lost a lot of joy recently.

Her husband was too strict, not letting her eat anything.

Resistance was futile, only suppression awaited her.

“Hehehe, I’ve brought you some goodies.”

Bai Xiaoya chuckled mischievously.

Then she took out a pack of spicy strips, a pack of potato chips, as well as a bottle of milk tea, and a bottle of cola from her bag.

“Wow!” An Nuonuo’s eyes sparkled, and she instantly got excited, “Sister Xiaoya, you’re too good to me.”

“Eat quickly.” Bai Xiaoya looked around nervously, “I’ll keep watch at the door for you.”

An Nuonuo nodded repeatedly.

She tore open the pack of spicy strips and popped one into her mouth.

The moment it hit her mouth, An Nuonuo felt like she could fly from happiness.

Taking a sip of the milk tea, every cell in her body felt rejuvenated.

It just proved that saying.

Eating junk food serves no other purpose than making you happy.

After finishing, Bai Xiaoya packed all the trash into a bag and put it back in her own bag.

Then she wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, “I should go now, if Jiang Xu finds out, I’m dead.”

“Also, you better go take a shower and brush your teeth quickly, so he doesn’t find out.”

“Okay,” An Nuonuo nodded earnestly, “Got it, thanks, Sister Xiaoya, you’re the best.”

Bai Xiaoya hurriedly left.

Around nine in the evening, Jiang Xu left the company branch.

On his way back, he coincidentally met Zhou Qingyue, who was taking a walk alone.

After a slight hesitation, Jiang Xu still approached her.
