Chapter 119: Chapter 119 Jiang Xu: This extravagant wealth is finally my turn

Based on their profit-sharing agreement,

Jiang Xu could expect a net income of around four million.

Honestly, this profit was completely beyond Jiang Xu’s expectation.

After all, when he had signed the contract, he had thought that one million net income was already very impressive.

If he had that sum of money, he could purchase several old houses and just leave them be.

He replied, “About how long will it take to receive this money?”

Only after breakfast did Liu Yue respond.

She said it might take about a month.

Because the settlement periods varied among different parties.

A month was acceptable.

He wasn’t in a hurry for money anyway.

He went to the classroom.

Jiang Xu quietly stuffed the design blueprints into Fu Yanjie’s backpack.

And he warned him not to let An Nuonuo know.

Normal study, normal heading home.

Jiang Xu normally went home with An Nuonuo.

It’s just that Jiang Xu didn’t initiate any conversation with An Nuonuo on the road.

An Nuonuo was the one who actively talked to Jiang Xu.

This was because he considered that Zhang Xiaohui might be watching.

As long as he didn’t initiate, didn’t refuse, didn’t…

At the fork in the road, they parted ways.

When he was still some distance from his home, Jiang Xu stopped.

More than a dozen adult men appeared and surrounded him.

All were tall and burly, with bulging waists. It was evident they were hiding weapons.

Pedestrians nearby saw this and moved further away.

These men slowly closed in.

They took out telescoping iron clubs from their belts.

No one spoke but got ready to attack.

Jiang Xu’s gaze was heavy, and in his heart, he yelled, “Bring it on!”

There was no response.

“System, are you there?”

“Hurry up and come out, you don’t want me to get hurt, do you?”

Still no response.

Right then, Jiang Xu shook his head, got out of the car, and calmly said, “I need to call your boss.”

These men were definitely sent by Zhang Xiaohui.

However, hearing Jiang Xu’s words, they were indifferent.

This was reality, not a TV drama.

There wouldn’t be any idiot villains who would narrate a long speech before they attack you.

Jiang Xu quickly took out his mobile phone, “Look, I do have your boss’s number.

Wait a bit, I’m going to give her a call.

Otherwise, I can assure you, your boss will have problems, and you won’t benefit either.”

The leader of the men stopped, raised his right hand, “You have two minutes.”

The others also stopped.

Jiang Xu dialed Zhang Xiaohui’s number, “What’s the meaning of this, Zhang? Are you planning a murder?”

Zhang Xiaohui said coldly, “Very well, I didn’t expect to be played by a young boy after all these years in business.

Don’t worry, we won’t kill you.

At most, you’ll spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair.”

Jiang Xu said innocently, “Why would you do this?”

Zhang Xiaohui replied, “Smart people don’t need to talk nonsense.”

She had her men keep an eye on An Nuonuo.

Just to be cautious.

Who knew that her subordinates reported back that they still went home together after school.

If she didn’t know she’d been fooled now, Zhang Xiaohui wouldn’t deserve her fortune.

Jiang Xu mumbled that this woman was not easy to fool.

But even if they all knew, Jiang Xu wouldn’t admit it.

He said angrily, “You’re slandering me!”

Zhang Xiaohui laughed coldly, “Enjoy.”

Then she was about to hang up the phone.

“Wait!” Jiang Xu said. “Just wait a moment, I have something for you to hear.”

Zhang Xiaohui paused before she could hang up.

Jiang Xu took out a recorder from his backpack and pressed play.

It was their previous conversation in the coffee shop.

After hearing everything, Zhang Xiaohui’s voice turned even colder. “I underestimated you, but doing this will only provoke me.”

Jiang Xu grinned, “Then why don’t you think about how many copies of this recording I made.”

“Also think carefully about how many people I gave them to?”

“If something happens to me, will these recordings end up in Uncle An’s hands?”

Everything fell silent on Zhang Xiaohui’s end.

Jiang Xu wasn’t in a hurry, he just waited patiently.

After a while, Zhang Xiaohui started again, “If you can handle a task for me, we can put this whole incident behind us.”

Jiang Xu’s interest was piqued. “Let’s hear it.”

Even though he had their recording in his hands,

It was only enough to make Zhang Xiaohui cautious.

It was impossible to control her completely.

Jiang Xu never had such an illusion.

Zhang Xiaohui explained, “In the suburbs of northern Jiang City, there’s an unfinished building.”

“It’s probably worth about twenty million. Someone used it to repay a debt they owed me.”

“If you can take care of it for me, I can give you an additional one million.”

“Then, your transgression against me will be forgotten.”

Jiang Xu’s heart jumped.

In the north of Jiang City, if he remembered correctly, an announcement was going to be made in a month about building a subway there.

Plus, a large sports stadium and a panda breeding base were also going to be constructed in that area.

Of course, property prices would skyrocket.

During the peak period, they’d rocket up by more than twenty times.

The unfinished building would become a hot property.

If he got hold of that, it wouldn’t just add to his own resources.

It would be like robbing some wealth from Zhang Xiaohui.

It could be considered as collecting some interest from her.

After all, he had no intention of letting Zhang Xiaohui off the hook for what she did to An Nuonuo.

The only thing was, he didn’t have the capability to do much right then.

Jiang Xu tried hard to maintain his calm.

Zhang Xiaohui’s men were still watching him.

He feigned difficulty, his tone not so amiable, “Passing such a big task on to me, isn’t that making things hard for me?”

Zhang Xiaohui’s tone turned cold, “You don’t have any room for bargaining, and I am not someone a small fry like you can offend!”

Well, she indeed was a business tycoon.

And she had her pride too.

In the words of Chen Beixuan, the tyrant, ‘a master should not be insulted’.

Jiang Xu gritted his teeth, “Fine, I agree. But you have to give me more time, one year.”

Zhang Xiaohui, “At most, six months.”

“Phew!” Jiang Xu deflated like a balloon, “Alright, six months it is. Let me know precisely where, so I can go have a look.”

Zhang Xiaohui, “Pass the phone to the man in charge.”

Jiang Xu handed the phone to the biggest guy.

After he had listened, he nodded and put down the phone, then told Jiang Xu, “Follow me.”

Jiang Xu, “Wait, let me take my bike back home first.”

About forty minutes later, they arrived at their destination.

a journey that should take an hour and a half was halved.

Their license plate was false, they ran red lights, completely undeterred.

They clearly were not good news.

Getting off the bike,

What he saw was a desolate scene.

Overgrown with weeds.

Several unfinished buildings.

The one in front, the man in charge told Jiang Xu, was the one.

Jiang Xu counted, twenty-three floors.

The floor area for each level, as he had heard from the man in charge, was three hundred and fifty square meters.

There were four houses on each floor.

One was a small, fifty-square-meter unit, the rest were medium and large units.

Jiang Xu walked in, and the gang followed him closely.

He picked up a brick casually and knocked it hard against the wall.

Well, the quality seemed good indeed.

The main structure of the entire building was done.

Just missing the exterior wall, the residential environment and the construction of the water, electricity, and gas lines.

Jiang Xu stroked his chin, pondering how to maximize the profit…
