Chapter 889: Chapter 889: Jiang Xu and Jiang Xiaoyan

The building where Jiang Xiaoyan lived was only occupied by her.

The other floors in the community were assigned to those confidants she had brought over.

Through the telescope, Jiang Xu saw a scene several kilometers away.

There was a dry river.

The situation with water resources here was similar to that of Agricultural Country nearby.

Previously, people here had to dig wells hundreds of meters deep to access water.

But that was no problem.

Once the channels in Agricultural Country were dug through, water could be directed here.

Geographically speaking, Agricultural Country was at a higher elevation, so water could definitely flow down here.

After washing the dishes, Jiang Xiaoyan also came out, and walked shoulder to shoulder with Jiang Xu.

She only reached up to Jiang Xu’s shoulders.

Compared to him, she appeared quite petite.

Jiang Xiaoyan gazed into the distance.

The evening breeze came, making her skirt flutter.

It also carried the scent of her body to Jiang Xu’s nose.

“I will give this community to the first group of people who followed me here,” Jiang Xiaoyan said, “I want to turn this place into a strong backyard as soon as possible.”

“Then, move some companies over.”

Thinking about how one day, this ‘new force’ she had created from scratch could shine globally, she was very excited.

Of course, she was even more excited about the prospect of confessing her feelings to Jiang Xu.

But even she didn’t know how likely she was to succeed.

So, to increase her chances of success, Jiang Xiaoyan decided to make Jiang Country even more valuable first.

Even if one day, Jiang Xu accepted her confession because of the value of Jiang Country, she did not want to be rejected.

Jiang Xu put down the telescope and said, “Next, we need to buy more basic raw materials.”

“We need to stock up on plenty of metals such as gold, silver, iron, copper, aluminum, zinc, nickel, and the like.”

“Then, we also need to purchase weapon production lines.”

“Additionally, we need to build airports, and all these require a large amount of funding. How long can your money last?”

Jiang Xiaoyan: “It should last about two and a half years, but if it really comes down to it, I can sell all the real estate back home.”

“Otherwise, I could also borrow from Luo Feiyu.”

“That guy is a true business genius. Luo Country’s daily income is now reckoned at two to three billion.”

“In terms of making money, he is indeed better than us,” Jiang Xu said indifferently.

“But you should not adopt his money-making methods, understand?”

Luo Feiyu was making money by exploiting people’s weaknesses.

Of course, it’s quick money.

But it also equates to being rootless.

Jiang Xu didn’t envy that at all.@@novelbin@@

He desired a nation that could last for hundreds of years or even longer.

Therefore, it was essential to establish a solid foundation.

In the future, he also planned on land reclamation to expand the territory further.

“Got it, I’ll listen to you,” Jiang Xiaoyan said with a giggly smile, “Shall we go out for a walk?”

Jiang Xu nodded.

Jiang Xiaoyan went back to her room and picked up a weapon and several bullets for Jiang Xu.

Although this place was her turf, the chances of danger were virtually negligible.

Jiang Xu did not refuse.

They stepped outside.

The streets at night were well lit by solar-powered lights, very bright.

Many vendors were setting up stalls.

“This…” Jiang Xu looked at Jiang Xiaoyan with some surprise.

“Hehe, surprised?” Jiang Xiaoyan said proudly, raising her head, “These are the second batch to arrive, and they’re relatives of my confidants.”

“Promising them a free, fully-furnished house here got them all rushing over ecstatically.”

Jiang Xu nodded.

That wasn’t surprising.

After all, competition had started to intensify domestically as well.

Hence, seizing opportunities abroad was also a viable option.

Most of the customers these small vendors served were brought over by Jiang Xiaoyan.

There were some locals too, but because of the language barrier, they hardly dared to come over.

Currently, Jiang Country and Agricultural Country still hadn’t finalized their own currencies, so they continued to use the domestic currency.

However, this wasn’t a big issue, as the domestic currency was now almost universally accepted, and very few countries refused to use it.

On the two rows of snack stalls, there were delicacies from various regions.

But the majority were different kinds of seafood.

The area was not far from the sea, and Jiang Xiaoyan had bought several large fishing boats.

The seafood was simply more than they could eat.

“Miss, hello!”

“Your Highness, hello!”

As these people saw Jiang Xiaoyan and Jiang Xu, they simultaneously shouted in unison, bowing uniformly.

Jiang Xiaoyan couldn’t suppress a smile; she simply couldn’t hold it back.

It was almost as though she was about to say, “Continue with the music, continue with the dance.”

Jiang Xu didn’t take it to heart and casually bought some snacks.

Jiang Xiaoyan paid behind him.

This scene astonished the vendors and the bodyguards who were secretly following them.

Thunderous and fierce, Jiang Xiaoyan, often bloodthirsty, also had moments when she was as docile as a little rabbit.

It was like a revelation—such an eye-opener.

There wasn’t much fun to be had in Jiang Country now, even places with more vegetation were rare.

The weather was extremely hot.

Having stayed outside for a while, Jiang Xu’s clothes were soaked through.

It was better to go back.

On the way back, Jiang Xu said to Jiang Xiaoyan, “Most of the people you brought here are men.”

“It’s so boring here, and there are hardly any entertainment options that involve spending money. It will lead to problems if this continues for too long.”

“I suggest you could go to Luo Country and hire a group of women to come over and open a small shop here, satisfying some of your men’s needs.”

He knew very well that if these men weren’t given relief over time, they might behave in undesirable ways.

“Oh, okay, I’ll send someone tomorrow.” Jiang Xiaoyan slightly tilted her head, looking at Jiang Xu, “You really know a lot, Brother Xu, you are very thoughtful.”

Jiang Xu: “Hey, are you cursing at me?”

Jiang Xiaoyan blinked her big eyes, a look of naivety on her face, “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

Jiang Xu scoffed.

He didn’t believe her nonsense.

In the days that followed, Jiang Xu stayed at Jiang Xiaoyan’s place.

Besides cooking, video calling An Nuonuo and their two babies, he was also helping Jiang Xiaoyan deal with some difficult issues.

In helping Jiang Xiaoyan, he was also helping himself.

Once Jiang Country was up and running, it could reciprocate and help Agricultural Country, thereby accelerating progress.

Jiang Xiaoyan’s work efficiency greatly improved these days.

With Jiang Xu around, her whole being seemed invigorated, like she was injected with an endless drive.

Her subordinates, seeing her radiant glow, secretly speculated whether Jiang Xu was “nourishing” Jiang Xiaoyan with supplements every night…

Time unwittingly reached mid-November.

Jiang Xu felt that this year had passed exceptionally fast.

It’s said that once you turn eighteen, time seems to hit the fast-forward button.

Perhaps it was also because there had been too many significant events around Jiang Xu this year.

Time seemed to slip away in a blur.

Having been abroad for a while, Jiang Xu was planning to return.

Upon mentioning it to Jiang Xiaoyan, her tears instantly began to fall.
