Chapter 57

Chapter 57

Fu Yanjie was taken aback.

Wasn’t this Jiang Xu?

He looked again at Wang Xiaoyuan’s expression.

Her eyes carried a hint of yearning and adoration for her idol.

He suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable and a trace of caution crept up within him.

What if Wang Xiaoyuan found out that “Suishi An Ping” was Jiang Xu?

Would she fall for him?

For the first time, the young man felt a sense of worry.

After much hesitation, he still kept this information to himself.

Considering Jiang Xu already had someone he liked.

If he spilled the beans, wouldn’t he be jeopardizing Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo’s relationship?

Thinking in this way, Fu Yanjie felt that his actions were justified.

After Wang Xiaoyuan finished reading the latest chapter, she was left yearning for more.

She packed up her storybook and asked Fu Yanjie, who had his back turned to her, “Tell me about Jiang Xu.”

Fu Yanjie’s heart skipped a beat. He forced a smile and asked, “What does sister want to know?”

“His character, hobbies and such.”

“Well, he likes singing, dancing, playing basketball, and he used to love surfing the internet with me.

But ever since he fell for An Nuonuo, he has abandoned me.

He enjoys Fried Dough Cake, Guo Fen, Mo Zheng, Hao Wan, and Shrimp Heads.

He also likes Fried Rice with Chicken Wings, Fried Fish with Essence, Chicken with Fen Ren and Scallion, Crispy Mountain Chicken, Chicken Feet, Berry Juice, No Burnt Lamb, American Glue, and Purple Sharkfish.”

As a good friend, Fu Yanjie would not deliberately defame Jiang Xu. He told the plain truth.

Wang Xiaoyuan quietly noted down all this information.

After making the rounds of a few internet cafes, by 1 o’clock all the box lunches were sold out.

Then Wang Xiaoyuan was stunned.

They had made over thirteen hundred yuan in one morning.

More than a hundred came from the grilled sausages and other snacks sold by Fu Yanjie himself.

Even after deducting this amount, the net profit was seven to eight hundred yuan.

Could a sophomore boy come up with all this?

Could he be a reincarnated person?

Suddenly, she developed a deep interest in Jiang Xu.

That morning, Jiang Xu had written ten thousand words.

He took a brief rest.

Looking at the time, it was already noon.

He had lunch with An Nuonuo.

Noticing a Senior Three math book by her side, he asked her if she had any difficulties with it.

“Senior Three courses are so hard.” The girl gently shook her hair, “I only understand a little bit.”

“I’ll teach you,” Jiang Xu offered.

An Nuonuo’s eyes lit up, “How much have you learned?”

Jiang Xu replied, “All of it.”

He had completely mastered the Senior Three curriculum again.

“Wow, you’re amazing.”

Her eyes were filled with admiration.

Jiang Xu waved his hand, “As long as you’re willing to work hard, you’ll eventually be a tenth as good as me.”

The girl wrinkled her cute, clear nose, “Show-off.”

Under Jiang Xu’s instruction, An Nuonuo quickly got into the groove.

He taught well, going from simple to complex, in a step-by-step manner.

Slowly, he opened up An Nuonuo’s narrow thinking, leading to sudden enlightenment.

This allowed Jiang Xu to inject more quality knowledge into her mind.

An Nuonuo greedily absorbed the nourishment of knowledge, growing bit by bit.

Fu Yanjie and Wang Xiaoyuan returned.

Seeing the two studying in the living room, they both slowed their steps.

Wang Xiaoyuan cautiously approached the pair.

After listening for a while, she couldn’t help but reveal a look of surprise.

She had discovered another one of Jiang Xu’s strengths.

He was far ahead when it came to academics!

Just after finishing his sophomore year, he had already started tutoring his younger sister in her senior year curriculum.

Apart from that, the high standard of his teaching was clearly evident.

Not every teacher could match his level of expertise.

“My dear little brother, I feel that even with my help, your chances of winning her over are none,” Wang Xiaoyuan thought to herself.

Hold on!

She quickly thought of something.

What if, hypothetically speaking.

If I were to successfully pursue Jiang Xu?

Wouldn’t that mean my little brother might have a chance?

The more Wang Xiaoyuan thought about it, the more feasible this plan seemed.

However, considering Jiang Xu’s age…

She subtly took out her phone and opened a web page.

In the search box, she typed: Is it against the law for a twenty-one-year-old girl to date a second-year high school boy?

The search results came back quickly.

Just two words.

Real crime!

Wang Xiaoyuan: “…”

Well, this road was a dead end.

…

“It’s been a while, Auntie.”

Today, Zhou Qingyue’s aunt had come to her house.

Liu Yue’s eyes lit up: “Oh my, Yueyue, you’ve grown up so much, you’re so beautiful and radiant.”

Zhou Qingyue felt slightly embarrassed: “Not at all, I’m just ordinary.”

Since she saw An Nuonuo’s true face, her self-esteem had taken a serious hit.

She hadn’t gone anywhere during the summer vacation.

She had just stayed at home writing a novel.

And wouldn’t you know it, in this peculiar state, her thoughts flew fast, the ink flowed freely, and her writing pace was impressive.

After watching Zhou Qingyue for a while, Liu Yue suddenly asked: “Yueyue, can you sing and dance?”

Zhou Qingyue paused, then said, “A little bit. I usually learn from the TV when I have nothing to do.”

“Quick, perform for your aunt.”

Zhou Qingyue didn’t understand why, but she did it anyway.

“Very good, you really have a talent for performing.” Liu Yue excitedly stood up.

She grabbed Zhou Qingyue’s hand: “Yueyue, are you interested in joining the entertainment industry?

Your Auntie here is a top-notch agent, with a sharp eye for talent.

With proper training and packaging from the company, you’ll surely be a big hit.”

“Huh?” Zhou Qingyue was stunned by this proposition: “I can’t do it.”

She had never contemplated becoming a celebrity before.

Zhou Qingyue’s mom was also present: “Can she do it?”

“Absolutely!” Liu Yue affirmed confidently: “I just opened a talent agency with a few other people.

We are in great demand for talented artists, and Yueyue has potential.

Since we are relatives, we would never exploit her.”

Zhou Qingyue shook her head: “What about my studies?”

“Oh, you silly girl, do you know what an obscure D-list celebrity makes a year? At least five million yuan.”

Zhou Qingyue was shocked: “That much?”

Liu Yue: “Absolutely, even if you graduated from a prestigious university and earned 10,000 yuan a month.

It would take you over forty years to accumulate five million yuan.

And with your talent, earning several tens of millions in a year is not a problem.

Imagine it, a few years from now, your classmates will just be graduating from university.

They’ll be toiling away from 9 to 6, commuting on crowded subways and buses,

Sweating buckets every day, possibly harassed by perverts.

In order to save a few yuan, they might not even dare to eat a decent meal, earning only a few thousand yuan a month.

But by then, you’ll be a famous artist nationwide, living in a mansion, driving a luxury car, wearing high-end brands.

You’ll frequent luxurious places, meet all kinds of celebrities, and have your pick of the litter.

Your annual income could be tens of millions, or even up to billions.

Between the two radically different lives, which would you choose?”

Zhou Qingyue felt her heart stir.

Mainly, she thought of one thing.

If she became a nationally acclaimed mega-star,

Wouldn’t Jiang Xu change his attitude toward her?

He would definitely come back to her once more!
