Soft aroma embraced him.

With the delicate smell emanating from the young girl, Jiang Xu’s heart became exceptionally calm.

An Nuonuo started to struggle in his arms.

Realizing Jiang Xu’s great strength, she gave up about trying to break free.

Her breath quickened, and her whole face became as red as an apple.

Such a sight made one enormously tempted to pick her.

Such a blooming girl sitting next to the table.

Jiang Xu exclaimed.

After holding her for a while, he let her go, “Alright, I’m leaving. Remember to drive when going to school.”

He had a bodyguard in secret, but it was better to be cautious.

“Okay, I got it, take care on the road.”

The girl’s eyes shimmered like a flowing stream.

The soft emotions contained within those eyes were enough to melt everything in this world.

Jiang Xu quickly got into the car.

If he kept watching, he feared that he wouldn’t want to leave.

That afternoon, he arrived in Mei City.

After meeting up with Lin Xiaoxian, they together made an on-the-spot inspection of several production bases.

Lin Xiaoxian’s professional knowledge was sufficient.

She carried out a meticulous review of all the equipment and the environment.

Also, the construction progress of these production bases was faster than Jiang Xu had originally anticipated.

Jiang Xu originally estimated the work would be finished around June or July.

But it was already done.

They could start the production at any time.

The raw material supply chain and technical personnel, everything was already sorted out.

Jiang Xu could take over directly.

After making sure everything was correct, both parties signed the agreement.

Last time An Feng made a demand about this.

Thirty-five percent of this mineral water company’s shares would belong to An Nuonuo.

However, what An Feng didn’t know was that last night, Jiang Xu had already signed an agreement with An Nuonuo.

This thirty five percent of the equity was still in his hands.

On the surface though, it belonged to An Nuonuo.

If An Feng knew about this, he would probably vomit blood.

The remaining shares, Jiang Xu allocated point five percent to Lin Xiaoxian.

Of course, these shares weren’t given to her right away.

She would need to deliver certain business achievements to get them.

Besides, the position of vice manager of the company was given to her.

As for the general manager, that position was given to An Nuonuo.

This was mainly for An Feng to see.

This way the future cooperation between both sides would be more stable.

The company’s name was also changed to ‘Hometown Spring Water’.

The trademark was a simplified image of a mountain village.

The idea was to highlight the genuineness of the product.

Jiang Xu could say he got a very good deal in this case.

If Huahe Group hadn’t come across this issue, or had it happened later.

Then he’d have spent a lot of time and effort to take over.

After all the settlements, Jiang Xu started producing some ‘Hometown Spring

Water’ to take back home.

Lin Xiaoxian stayed behind to manage the office work.

Accommodations were provided at the production base.

As management, she could stay in a large suite alone.

When the company grows in the later phase, they could consider setting up a headquarters in a first-tier city.

Jiang Xu prepared to leave after settling everything.

Before leaving, he said to Lin Xiaoxian, “Please dress more conservatively here, and don’t put on too much makeup.

The production base is in a relatively remote area, after all.

For a girl as lovely as you, it’s easy to attract ill-intentions.”

Lin Xiaoxian shrank her neck, “Okay, I got it. I won’t go out unnecessarily.”

She was full of enthusiasm now.

Eager to achieve success early.

In doing so proving herself, all while earning An Nuonuo’s admiration.

“Alright,” Jiang Xu waved his hand, “work hard then, I’m leaving.”

“Wait a minute…” Lin Xiaoxian stopped him, hesitating as if she wanted to say something.

After a moment of hesitation, she finally asked, “Um… Has Zhou Qingyue ever mentioned me to you?”

She’d been too hasty during New Year’s.

So much so that she frightened Zhou Qingyue away in the middle of the night.

She regretted it immensely, yet didn’t dare to speak up.

An ongoing unease lodged itself in her throat.

It was her doubt regarding whether Zhou Qingyue had informed Jiang Xu about the situation.

If he’d told him, how could she keep her secret?

Jiang Xu found it amusing.

He marveled at her asking about something that happened so long ago.

“Nope,” he said with award-winning acting skills and a puzzled expression, “What happened between you two?”

“Nothing, just asking.”

Lin Xiaoxian’s heart leapt with joy.

If Zhou Qingyue hadn’t said anything, that was good.

That way, she could continue pretending.

geigeigei…

“All so mysterious, I’m off,” he said.

On his way back, Jiang Xu calculated his current assets.

The outstanding debt of 50 million could be repaid soon.

That was because the net profit for the first quarter of the Nuomimi Novel site had been calculated.

It would be settled in a couple of days.

Just last night, Lin Nan had phoned him to inform him of this development. Thanks to the surge in traffic during New Year’s period, the rate of paid and recharged users was extremely high.

As a result, the company’s net profit for the first quarter was more than 36 million.

They had only earned more than 50 million in total last year.

After accounting for taxes and dividends for other shareholders,

Jiang Xu received a little over 10 million.

He hadn’t withdrawn the earnings from the “Martial Universe” web game either.

Once home, Jiang Xu went to the market to buy groceries.

An Nuonuo hadn’t finished school yet.

So, Jiang Xu was to cook dinner, as a treat to her.

He bought a hen to make soup.

The market happened to be selling eels that day, so he bought some.

They were great to fry and excellent for nourishment.

Looking at the wriggling eels, Jiang Xu inexplicably thought of a female live streamer who had gained fame by using eels…

The reputation of the eel, which had been held in high regard for millions of years, was instantly tarnished by that live streamer.

It led to a long period when many people would feel sick at the mere sight of eels.

Then he bought some more seafood and headed back.

Jiang Xu specifically texted An Nuonuo, advising her to eat a light meal in the cafeteria in the afternoon.

By the time An Nuonuo arrived home, Jiang Xu had prepared a table full of lavish dishes.

Untying his apron, Jiang Xu looked at the girl he hadn’t seen for a few days, “Go wash your hands for dinner.”

“Oh…”

By the time she came out after washing her hands, Jiang Xu had already filled her bowl with food and vegetables.

“Thank you, Brother Jiang-You, too.”

Speaking to him, she also filled up Jiang Xu’s bowl with vegetables.

An Nuonuo’s voice was soft, extremely capable of tugging at one’s heartstrings.

Jiang Xu felt an inebriated sensation.

So good, it was unbearably good.

The two of them were serving each other.

With their gaze meeting, the affection between them was nearly overflowing.

Undoubtedly, if any single person witnessed this, they would have an emotional breakdown.

After dinner, An Nuonuo went to wash the dishes.

Jiang Xu sat for a while before going to take a bath.

Home was always the most comfortable.

Even when bathing, Jiang Xu felt it was more satisfying at home.

After his bath, Jiang Xu changed into a fresh set of clothes.

It was now mid-April, and the weather had started to heat up.

It was already time to start wearing shorts and short-sleeved shirts.

Jiang Xu told An Nuonuo, who had just finished washing dishes, “I’ve got to go out for a bit.”

“Ah?” An Nuonuo’s eyes held a hint of unwillingness, “You’re going out again.” She had planned to invite Jiang Xu to watch television together that evening. Jiang Xu smiled, “I’ve got an important matter to take care of, I’ll be back in a bit..”
