Chapter 156: Chapter 156 Fu Yanjie: Stop feeding me dog food!

Jiang Xu was momentarily stunned.

Then he reacted.

My goodness, it appeared that she’d already chosen her car.

She deliberately chose the cheapest one, probably to save him from spending too much money.

Jiang Xu instantly felt a wave of tenderness towards her.

If he’d known earlier that she was being careful with money, he wouldn’t have prematurely discussed it with her.

In Jiang Xu’s eyes at that moment, this girl was simply glowing, as if a pair of angel wings had sprouted from her back.

An Nuonuo was somewhat flustered as she said to Jiang Xu, “Listen to my explanation…”

Jiang Xu chuckled and ruffled her hair, “What’s there to explain? I respect your decision.”

An Nuonuo wasn’t a vain girl.

And Jiang Xu wasn’t the type to place too much importance on material possessions.

He’d never believed that donning some so-called high-end items could enhance one’s value.

Just like the future President Ma.

Even if he wore a cartoon watch that cost only nine yuan, no one would look down on him.

“Phew!”

Seeing that Jiang Xu wasn’t upset, An Nuonuo let out a huge sigh of relief.

Then a smile bloomed on her face again.

After a little over an hour, all the car paperwork was completed.

The new car had no strange smell.

This showed that local car manufacturers were still very conscientious about the materials they used.

The car was entirely pink, looking very cute.

While it was true that An Nuonuo wanted to save money for Jiang Xu, it was also clear that she genuinely liked this car.

The salesperson explained a few pointers, then An Nuonuo started the car.

The speed was not fast, but it was steady enough.

First, they refueled the car.

Afterward, Jiang Xu suggested they head to North City.

The passenger-side window was let down, and a cool breeze blew in.

Jiang Xu looked at the retreating scenery outside the window, feeling contented.

In the future, An Nuonuo would be his personal driver.

After getting on the main road, their speed gradually picked up.

Don’t underestimate An Nuonuo’s seemingly weak appearance, she drove quite steadily.

Jiang Xu didn’t nag or give unnecessary directions; he let her drive freely.

They arrived in North City.

They parked the car by the roadside.

An Nuonuo patted her racing heart, “Phew, fortunately, everything went smoothly.”

Jiang Xu glanced her way, wanting to shout out, “Don’t move, let me do it…”

The environment outside the residential compound was quite good.

It was a small compound with only four buildings.

Jiang Xu saw someone leading a large group of people toward the construction site next door.

Overhearing their conversation, he realized they were a group of potential homebuyers.

The construction site next door was preparing to build another residential compound.

Yet, only the main entrance had been built so far.

It seemed like they were starting to sell off-plan properties.

Off-plan properties were introduced to the mainland in 1994, and it had grown popular since.

Buying off-plan property at that time was not a problem.

However, Jiang Xu didn’t have spare funds for investment at the moment.

He walked into the residential compound with An Nuonuo.

At his two buildings, exterior scaffolding and the like had already been removed.

The exterior walls, balcony railings, windows, and air conditioning units had all been installed.

From the outside, it already looked quite appealing to move into.

The compound’s landscaping and basic facilities were also nearing completion.

This time, they paid special attention to the underground parking garage.

There was a total of two hundred and forty parking spots.

Half of these belonged to Jiang Xu.

These parking spaces can be rented out in the future.

Five hundred yuan per month, that’s still an annual income of sixty thousand yuan.

The property future management fees of the residential area, half of it will also belong to him.

If handled well, that would also be a good source of income.

“Jiang Xu, you’re here!”

After touring around, the two were about to head back when they saw Fu Yanjie running over.

“Huh?” Jiang Xu looked at him curiously, “You’re not studying at home during the vacation, what are you up to?”

During this time, Fu Yanjie’s parents had been relentlessly urging him to improve his academic performance. They treated him like an academic robot, not a person.

He wasn’t allowed to touch his computer or mobile phone, nor was he permitted to watch cartoons or TV.

They’d even specifically arranged a driver to take him to and from school daily.

Once he returned home, his meals were quickly followed by ceaseless studying.

This method was archaic, but Fu Yanjie’s academic performance had markedly improved recently.

It just took a toll on the poor kid.

“Don’t even get me started,” Fu Yanjie complained bitterly, “I feel like I’m going to puke after studying this much on the weekend.

It took me ages to convince my parents to let me out for a breath of fresh air.

But they wouldn’t let me hang out, only allowed me to come here and work.”

Jiang Xu burst into laughter.

Poor lad did have it rough.

However, enduring some hardship now wouldn’t hurt him.

The three chatted as they walked outside.

“How did you guys get here? Do you want me to have my driver drop you off?” Fu Yanjie offered.

“No need,” Jiang Xu gestured towards a pink car parked by the roadside, “The new car we just bought, Nuonuo drove it.

From now on, she’s my personal chauffeur.”

They both hopped into the car after their brief conversation.

Fu Yanjie looked at his own coarse, burly driver and then at An Nuonuo, which immediately caused his spirit to crumble as he suffered a ten thousand points critical hit.

He couldn’t help slapping himself, “I shouldn’t have come out. Wouldn’t it have been better to stay at home and study? Sigh…”

On the way back, Jiang Xu received a call from Liu Yue.

“Those Miserable Years of Youth” TV drama was about to be aired and she hoped Jiang Xu could help promote it.

The cast and crew were the same from the original film.

Due to the fan base of the movie, Liu Yue was quite confident about the TV drama.

Thus, the investment in it was ten times more than the movie.

The total investment exceeded ten million yuan.

In addition to asking Jiang Xu to help promote it, she also asked him whether he was planning to write a sequel to “Those Bygone Years”.

Seems like she had quite some confidence in the success of the TV drama.

Jiang Xu said, he’d wait and see how it performed before deciding.

After ending the call, Jiang Xu contacted Lin Nan.

He asked her to arrange a front-page recommendation for “Those Bygone Years”.

The novels he’d written were also posted on his website.

However, due to their themes, they weren’t recommended.

Current TV drama promotions mainly relied on TV stations, and the internet hadn’t fully taken off yet, hence it wasn’t given much importance.

As per Jiang Xu, his promotions wouldn’t do much for the viewership.

Unless he publicly announced that he was also the author of “Martial Universe”, which would probably draw in some faithful readers to watch.

Nuonuo dropped Jiang Xu at home first, then returned to hers.

Jiang Xu immediately turned on his computer upon reaching home, logged into Weibo, and posted a promotion there as well.

Meanwhile, An Nuonuo safely drove home to her residential area.

Her family had purchased three parking spaces, two of which were always empty.

Amid all the luxury cars, her modest car was somewhat conspicuous.

However, the young girl didn’t mind, her face was constantly radiant with a sweet smile.

“Mom, I’m back!”

Pushing the door open, An Nuonuo called out as she changed her shoes.

Pacing into the living room, An Nuonuo was taken aback by the sight before her, her petite body trembled slightly.
