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

Chen Yue was tired too. After tossing the broom aside, she was ready to go back to sleep.

Jiang Xu gave An Nuonuo a cold sneer.

“Wait until Mom leaves, and you’ll know the price of your cheekiness.”

An Nuonuo shrank her neck and quickly grabbed Chen Yue’s hand, “Auntie, can I sleep with you tonight?”

Since Jiang Xu was ‘fuming,’ she planned to avoid his wrath.

Jiang Xu’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Before he could speak up, Chen Yue said with a beaming smile, “Of course, no problem at all.”

Jiang Shan also showed a look of gratitude.

Ever since Chen Yue became pregnant, her temper soared, and she would be tormented to death every day.

If An Nuonuo stayed over, he might finally get a good night’s sleep.

An Nuonuo stealthily made a face at Jiang Xu, much to his annoyance.

This little girl is getting cheekier by the day.

It seems that last night’s ‘stick education’ wasn’t quite effective enough.

So, An Nuonuo went with Chen Yue to sleep in the villa next door.

Jiang Xu was left to keep the empty house company.

At that moment, Jiang Xiaoyan called him.

“I haven’t interrupted you while you were ‘busy’ with Nuonuo, have I? Hehehe.”

Right from the start, Jiang Xiaoyan’s voice carried a sleazy tone.

As expected, it never changes.

Jiang Xu, with a full head of black lines, said, “Isn’t it daytime over there for you? Don’t you have to work?”

“I am working, and it’s killing me,” Jiang Xiaoyan said wearily, “It will still be about half a year before I can return.

I don’t care. You guys have to come over and hang out with me during the summer vacation. Otherwise, I might go crazy.”

Jiang Xu agreed with her.

He was already planning on it.

“By the way, calling you is actually about something serious!” Jiang Xiaoyan spoke earnestly, “Over here in Bear Country, a traditional noble family has approached me wanting to cooperate…”

Jiang Xu’s interest was piqued, “What specific form does this cooperation take?”

Jiang Xiaoyan said, “They lack all sorts of high-end equipment over here, such as automotive machine tools, chips, and so on.

We can supply all of these.

And on their side, they have oil and various agricultural products—all good stuff.

Especially if we plan on ‘going solo’ in the future, we’ll need these basic resources.”

“Hmm, your analysis is correct,” Jiang Xu thought for a moment and then asked, “You’ve said so much, is it because their pricing is unfair?”

“Exactly, those guys are extremely greedy,” Jiang Xiaoyan gritted her teeth, “If we go by their prices, after all our hard work, we would only earn a profit of less than 3%.”

Jiang Xu said, “Tell them we don’t have to cooperate with them. For instance, we could just as well deal with their neighbor, Mao Er.

Use that as a starting point to talk to them, and make sure our profit is at least above 20%.”

“Wow, how did I not think of that?” Jiang Xiaoyan whistled, “You’re the clever one, got it. Now that we’ve discussed business, can we talk about personal matters?”

Jiang Xu: “I’m not interested.”

“Bugger off. I’m done talking to you.”

Jiang Xiaoyan hung up the phone huffily.

Jiang Xu shook his head with a smile.

This Mr. Jiang only acts like a child when he’s around me.

But thinking about it, Jiang Xiaoyan has undergone quite a personality change over the years.

She used to be very paranoid; frankly, like a ticking time bomb, always on the verge of exploding, potentially hurting those around her.

Extremely dangerous.

But now, things have improved a lot.

It could be due to age, or perhaps something else.

Time for bed.

The next day.

When Jiang Xu got up, he saw An Nuonuo busy in the kitchen.

Placing one breakfast after another onto the dining table.

Seeing Jiang Xu, she immediately ran over, pulling on her own ears, looking pitifully at him, “I was wrong. If you’re going to hit me, please be gentle…”

After she spoke, she turned around and left.

“Hiss!”

Jiang Xu took a deep breath.

Since when did his girlfriend become so adept at this?

An Nuonuo turned her head, her big watery eyes seemed as though they could talk, “Go ahead and hit me. I’m not afraid of pain, and you won’t feel sorry for me anyway.”

What a crafty move, retreating as a way to advance.

Jiang Xu laughed in anger, “An Nuonuo, oh An Nuonuo, when did you start playing such high-end strategies?”

An Nuonuo smiled shyly, “It’s all thanks to the good education from Brother Xu. How about you forgive my unintentional mistake last night? Look, I came over early in the morning to make you breakfast, no merit notwithstanding, at least take my hard work into account.”

Jiang Xu sneered, “What if I don’t agree?”

“If you don’t agree, then Brother Xu, you might as well hit me.” An Nuonuo closed her eyes, looking like a lamb to the slaughter.

How could Jiang Xu possibly tolerate this?

He immediately hoisted An Nuonuo onto his shoulder and turned back into the house.

A certain expert has said, doing some warm-up exercise in the morning before having breakfast aids digestion…

In the afternoon, Jiang Xiaoyan had someone send over two enhanced versions of ‘Jing Bing’.

Jiang Xu sent one to Li Yuanjuan and used the other one himself.

Another big event happened.

That was Sangsang phones’ comprehensive entry into the domestic market.

This was the first shot Lifuzhen fired at Jiang Xu.

Suddenly, they released dozens of models onto the market.

The prices ranged from five hundred to five thousand yuan, catering to every need.

This was an old tactic of Sangsang.

A ‘sea of models’ strategy.

Furthermore, Lifuzhen had hired more than a dozen popular male and female stars in the country to endorse and promote.

Online, the topics about Sangsang phones were endless.

Offline stores were sprouting up like bamboo shoots after a rainstorm.

Even Wang Zhang gave a call.

“Jiang Xu, Sangsang’s momentum is fierce. In just the last few days, our phone’s overall sales have dropped by 10%.

If this trend continues, a lot of our market share will be taken away.”

At present in the domestic market, Mei Zhu phones had become the standout leader.

Even the fruit phones only sold about forty to fifty thousand units a month here.

It’s completely different from that wildly popular past where phones were so in demand that they were tough to obtain, sometimes requiring a premium to buy one.

“Just follow our normal rhythm, there’s no need to cut the price.”

This was Jiang Xu’s counter-strategy.

“Will that work?” Wang Zhang expressed his doubts.

Jiang Xu laughed, “Of course, Sangsang can’t stir up any trouble in our country.”

Even though Sangsang was still the world’s top brand in terms of shipment volume, even without the Chinese market.

But their phones are not suitable for domestic users.

Their operating system is garbage, totally mismatched with Chinese users’ requirements and habits, full of anti-human designs.

The reason Sangsang almost vanished from the Chinese market back in the day.

Besides the exploding battery incident, it had to do with the operating system as well.

So, Jiang Xu was not worried at all.

It could only be said that Lifuzhen played this card completely wrong.

Wang Zhang hung up the phone, still dubious.

If it were anyone other than Jiang Xu.

No one would believe it.

Jiang Xu stretched lazily.

He was ready to go home.

Ally came in, “Boss, take a look at this.”
