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

Zhou Qingyue was talking about those palace-themed dramas.

The ones Jiang Xu wrote for Qinghe, she has already finished filming.

Now she’s filming a youth-themed television drama written by her own company’s scriptwriter.

This woman really fights hard.

In the time to come, she was going to dominate the TV screen.

Two of the five palace dramas written by Jiang Xu afterward have been negotiated.

Both are exclusive, one costs 700,000 per episode, and the other is 720,000 per episode.

These were due to the hot market, the relative scarcity of this topic, and Zhou Qingyue’s recent popularity.

Those two dramas, one has 70 episodes, one has 80 episodes.

The two added together amount to 1.6 billion.

That’s not even the strongest point.

The more critical point was, “Palace Life” had its overseas copyright sold.

All were bought by neighboring countries.

Prices varied.

All together, it also broke 100 million.

Adding upcoming three dramas, Jiang Xu estimated that the total revenue might exceed 500 million.

According to the agreement, Jiang Xu could get a share of 50 million.

This was great news for Jiang Xu.

He was quite short of money at present.

For the mineral water venture, there was no short-term return and continual investments were needed.

Besides, he needed to reserve some money for emergencies.

The company had recently hired two more people, and there was almost no place to sit.

They needed to move to a bigger office.

He had already asked Lin Nan to find one.

Money was needed in all aspects.

Even though his net worth was close to two billion, the money in Jiang Xu’s hands was still tight.

In contrast, An Nuonuo’s online shop.

Because Zhou Qingyue recently exploded in popularity, traffic significantly increased.

Now it could have twenty thousand orders a day.

The shop was already famous.

An Nuonuo had already reaped the benefits.

“How do you feel, are you happy?” Zhou Qingyue said, lifting her head.

She was full of pride, “If I hadn’t worked so hard filming, you wouldn’t have made so much.

So, shouldn’t you thank me properly, and treat me to a meal?”

Jiang Xu looked around.

After making sure that no one was paying attention to them, he quickly kissed An Nuonuo’s face.

Then he said to Zhou Qingyue, “I thank you.”

“You, you two!” Zhou Qingyue pointed at Jiang Xu, trembling incessantly.

This man, he actually did this in front of her.

An Nuonuo even let out a low gasp, looking at Jiang Xu in disbelief.

She never expected him to be so bold.

Jiang Xu was giving Nuonuo a sense of security.

Even though she didn’t say it, she was more or less worried about Zhou Qingyue’s return to school.

Fearing a revival of old feelings between Jiang Xu and Zhou Qingyue.

Jiang Xu’s gesture undoubtedly reassured her.

Jiang Xu looked at the irritated Zhou Qingyue and said, “Remember to photoshop out the image of me and Nuonuo.”

Zhou Qingyue turned her head away, not talking.

Even if she prepared herself far in advance.

When she actually witnessed Jiang Xu being intimate with An Nuonuo, it was still hard to stay calm.

After class, Jiang Xu went outside to check.

Almost everyone was holding a bottle of “Old Hometown” mineral water.

To get customers to remember this brand in the shortest time.

Jiang Xu had also made some optimizations in bottle design.

It was unlike any other mineral water bottle on the market.

It was beautiful.

Even after finishing the water, people didn’t want to throw it away, preferring to take it home.

That was why when Jiang Xu looked outside, he saw everyone holding the bottle.

Jiang Xu also told Lin Xiaoxian to patent the bottle design to avoid being copied.

“Hello, students.” Jiang Xu stopped a few girls, asking, “Can you tell me how the water in your hands tastes?”

Seeing that Jiang Xu was so handsome, these female students were very happy to answer his question.

“Sweet and pleasant, very nice to drink.”

“The packaging seems premium.”

“I like the taste.”

Jiang Xu nodded.

Then he engaged feedback from several other people, all of which were similar.

He also noted down some minor faults.

He decided to send these notes to Lin Xiaoxian in due course, instructing her to make the necessary adjustments.

He checked his phone.

Six schools in Jiang City were holding their spring sports festivals on that day.

The heads of each of those schools had sent him messages.

The feedback for the bottled water was generally positive.

Besides its attractive appearance, the taste was also well-received.

The remaining schools were also set to hold their sports festivals within the week.

Soon, it was time for school to dismiss in the afternoon.

Senior year students had a half-hour break after eating their meals.

Zhou Qingyue took An Nuonuo out for a walk.

Laughing and chatting, it was as if the incident from before never occurred.

Slowly trailing behind them was Jiang Xu.

The sweet osmanthus bloomed beautifully around the school, its fragrance wafting in the air.

Taking a deep breath, the scent invigorated the mind and body.

“Ah!”

Suddenly, Zhou Qingyue spotted a basketball hurtling towards An Nuonuo.

On impulse, she turned around and stood in front of An Nuonuo.

“Bang!”

The basketball hit the back of her head squarely.

The next moment, Zhou Qingyue blacked out and passed out.

When she woke up, she was in the hospital.

“Zhou, how are you feeling now?”

Clutching her hand anxiously was An Nuonuo.

“I… my head still hurts a bit, but the rest is fine.”

“Phew, well that’s good.” An Nuonuo patted her heart in relief.

Her worrying for Zhou Qingyue was finally over.

If Zhou Qingyue suffered any lingering effects from the accident, she would live the rest of her life guilt-ridden.

A conflicted Jiang Xu said, “The doctors said it’s just a mild concussion, she should be fine after a couple of day’s observation.

For what happened, thank you.”

The basketball was heading straight for An Nuonuo with considerable force initially.

If it had hit her, her nose would definitely have been broken.

That wouldn’t just lead to a disfigured face, but it would also disrupt her studies.

If she had to be hospitalized around the crucial college entrance examination period, it would be devastating.

Zhou Qingyue had effectively taken the hit for An Nuonuo.

Jiang Xu had always been clear about debts and favors.

He had noted this favor and would return it when an opportunity arose.

Zhou Qingyue laughed and said, “You better remember to share your good works with me first in the future.”

The students who had accidentally hit her with the basketball also came to visit with baskets of flowers and fruits.

Zhou Qingyue didn’t hold them accountable and they left after a short visit.

Zhou Qingyue looked at Jiang Xu, “Can you step outside? I have some private words for Nuonuo.”

Jiang Xu nodded, left the room and closed the door behind him.

He didn’t eavesdrop.

He then called Lin Xiaoxian.

He told her to supervise the factory in producing more batches of bottled water, and to make some changes to the bottle packaging.

The bottled water produced in the early stages served only one purpose.

To be distributed for free.

Additionally, he instructed her to register a new name for the bottled water…

He had major plans for the later stages.

Back in the hospital room,

Zhou Qingyue gathered her thoughts and then said something that took An Nuonuo completely by surprise….
