“What’s wrong with you?” Jiang Xu asked Xia Xiaozhan.
“Ah.” Xia Xiaozhan sighed, “Nothing much, just that I recently started dating a guy, but it feels like he doesn’t care much about me.”
“Huh, when did you get a boyfriend?” Wu Mengmeng, who was eating grilled kidneys, asked in shock.
According to her, one must replenish what their body resembles, so girls need to nourish their kidneys too.
“Just last week,” Xia Xiaozhan pouted, “But I’ve realized that he doesn’t seem very passionate about me.
Especially when I got my period and said I had stomach pains, he didn’t even tell me to drink more hot water.”
“Then just break up with him,” Wu Mengmeng said. “Clearly, you’re not in his heart. Are you planning to keep him for the New Year?”
Jiang Xu also said, “Break up with him. Those who care will do so without being taught, those who don’t, can’t learn to care.”
Everyone: “Huh??”
Alright, then it’s over,” Xia Xiaozhan took a deep breath.
She immediately took out her phone and sent a breakup message to her boyfriend.
The mam reason she chose to be with him in the first place was because he bore a slight resemblance to Jiang Xu.
She thought about trying a lite version for a relationship.
Turns out, it was not even a lite version; it was a counterfeit.
She didn’t feel too heartbroken about it.
They hadn’t even held hands during their time together.
After that little episode, everyone continued to eat and drink.
In the end, except for Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo, everyone else was drunk and collapsed.
Jiang Xu called the bodyguards to take each person home.
By the time the two of them got home, it was already past two in the morning. After washing up, they went to bed.
The next day, Jiang Xu arranged for tickets to Harbin for the day after tomorrow.
Today, there were no classes.
An Nuonuo stayed at home, while Jiang Xu went to the company for a bit.
One reason was to see if there were any issues with his cousin working there. The other was to adjust the future direction of the company slightly. Initially, Jiang Xu had planned to get ahead of Penguin and create WeChat. But after some deep thought and extensive data analysis, he decided to give up. One reason was that Penguin highly values social interaction.
If Jiang Xu dared to get involved in it, all his businesses would face unprecedented challenges.
Even if he invested twenty or thirty billion, success was not guaranteed.
Another reason was, Jiang Xu believed that there was another field more important than WeChat for the future.
That was short videos.
This arena, if one entered before someone named Zhang, would be safe and without competition.
The cost was much lower, and the risk was small.
At the same time, he could still use the short video platform to build up his own traffic pool.
By then, Jiang Xu estimated that he’d be worth tens or even hundreds of trillions.
If he wanted to enter the social networking field again, both the cost and difficulty would be greatly reduced. The only problem was time.
He had to wait until 5G kicked off before the short video field would explode.
For now, Jiang Xu needed to develop the core of short videos, the algorithm. Upon arriving at the company,
Jiang Xiaoxiao had chosen the marketing department.
She started as a junior employee.
Jiang Xu saw her working very seriously.
Occasionally, she would talk to her colleagues with a smile and polite manners.
After observing for a while, he found the manager of the marketing department to inquire about Jiang Xiaoxiao’s performance over the past few days.
“She’s doing very well, and she learns quickly. She also gets along well with her colleagues,” the manager reported.
Jiang Xu, satisfied, nodded his head, “Good, then keep an eye on her.
If there are no issues, promote her in half a month.
After the New Year, let her take the position of deputy manager of the marketing department.”
The manager’s face changed slightly.
Jiang Xu knew what he was thinking.
He patted his shoulder, “Don’t worry, she won’t be taking your position.” Once Jiang Xiaoxiao was promoted to deputy manager, he would observe her for a while longer.
If she was capable enough, Jiang Xu was prepared to make her his proxy in the company,
which meant the position of vice president.
After Jiang Xu left, the Marketing Department’s General Manager muttered to himself, “Both their surnames are Jiang, they must be relatives… I’ll buy some gifts tonight and pay a visit to Jiang Xiaoxiao. She’s the one I’ve set my sights on!”
Jiang Xu arrived at his office.
He spent the whole morning dealing with various matters.
In the afternoon, he began to write big data code.
Since Jiang Xu did not understand this before, he now had to rely entirely on himself, exploring and verifying step by step.
The progress was slow.
But he was not in a hurry.
Back in 2009, the Chrysanthemum Factory had already started to develop 5G-related technology.
It wasn’t until 2019 that they took the lead in achieving commercial 5G use and then launched 5G network services worldwide.
In this life, with Jiang Xu’s involvement, this speed might be accelerated.
But even if it were accelerated, there were still many years to go.
By that time, Jiang Xu estimated that his child would already be in kindergarten.
He was busy until after eight in the evening when Jiang Xu finally returned home.
The snowmen at the door were now lined up in rows, dozens of them, all in different shapes.
An Nuonuo would build a few whenever she had free time.
Seeing these snowmen always inexplicably lifted his spirits.
The moment he opened the door, he smelled the fragrance of food.
No matter when Jiang Xu returned home, he could always have a hot meal or various soups waiting for him.
“You’re back, I’ll go serve you some rice,” said An Nuonuo, who had been curled up on the sofa watching TV and sprang up as soon as Jiang Xu entered the room.
The table had a thermal feature, keeping the food warm no matter how long it sat.
“Have you packed the luggage?” Jiang Xu asked after taking a sip of sea cucumber soup.
“Yeah, all packed,” An Nuonuo replied cheerfully.
In the past few days, she had read up on Harbin.
Harbin in winter was very beautiful.
All sorts of barbecues, stewed pork dishes, Guo Bao Rou (deep-fried pork in sweet and sour sauce), cold noodles, grilled sausages, and such were incredibly tempting.
The prices were incredibly low.
There were also various fun places to visit, like hot springs.
Her body was here, but her heart had already flown there.
Jiang Xu asked her to prepare some emergency items as well.
For example, windproof lighters, compressed biscuits, little bottles of alcohol, and so on.
It’s better to be safe than sorry.
An Nuonuo quietly took note of that.
After dinner, An Nuonuo went to the kitchen to do the dishes.
Jiang Xu had originally planned to go lie down.
But seeing An Nuonuo’s back,
he became a bit restless.
Jiang Xu considered himself a person with strong willpower.
But in front of An Nuonuo, it was reduced by ninety-nine percent.
Jiang Xu walked in and gently wrapped his arms around An Nuonuo from behind.
Her cheeks blushed slightly: “Stop it, I’m washing the dishes.”
Jiang Xu said, “You wash, I won’t get in your way.”
An Nuonuo: “Mm-”
Time quickly arrived on January 19th.
School was out for the winter break.
Not all students chose to go home for the holiday.
Some opted to work part-time.
For instance, Wu Mengmeng and Xia Xiaozhan went to work at Jiang Xu’s company to help out.
They would work until the week before the New Year and earn three thousand yuan.
The main purpose was for experience.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo were dragging a large suitcase, ready for a trip.
Check-in, waiting, boarding, and taking off.
They had bought first-class tickets.
It would be about two and a half hours by plane.
“Hello, what a coincidence,” said a voice next to Jiang Xu, tinged with surprise, just as he had sat down..
