Chapter 619: Chapter 619: It’s Impossible to Repay the Money
“`
“According to the Finance Weekly, ‘Pleasing Music,’ a subsidiary of Nuomi Group, has officially gone public.”
“The IPO price of ‘Pleasing Music’ was five yuan a share, and it hit the daily limit as soon as it was listed.”
“Jiang Xu’s net worth has soared once again!”
“The famous singer and actor, Zhou Qingyue, threw in three billion yuan to snap up ‘Pleasing Music’ stocks.”
…
Today’s top ten trending searches were all dominated by Jiang Xu and Nuomi Group.
Given the current frenzy, the stock could potentially rise to thirty or forty yuan.
After the listing of ‘Pleasing Music,’ Jiang Xu instructed Ally to start preparing the IPO for ‘Nuomi Video’.
Compared to ‘Pleasing Music,’ ‘Nuomi Video’ was the real deal.
The annual revenue they could bring in differed like heaven and earth.
‘Pleasing Music’ netted a yearly profit of three to five hundred million.
Whereas ‘Nuomi Video’ netted at least one and a half billion a year.
Jiang Xu’s phone vibrated.
It was a call from Lifuzhen.
Why was this woman always contacting him?
Jiang Xu pressed the answer button.
Lifuzhen cut straight to the chase, “Do me a favor.”
Jiang Xu, “Speak.”
Lifuzhen, “I have a company going public next Monday, and I’m the major shareholder, owning eighty percent of its shares.
I need you to buy five hundred million yuan worth of shares for me.
But you can’t use your name to purchase them.”
Jiang Xu chuckled, “What makes you think I would help you?”
Lifuzhen, “The assets I left in the country were for this day.
You help me buy five hundred million, and the rest is your compensation.”
So this was Lifuzhen’s purpose.
Jiang Xu’s thoughts fanned out.
He estimated that company must be very important to her.
But her approach was rather naive.
Yet, Jiang Xu said on the phone, “Fine, send me the details of that company.”
Lifuzhen’s tone immediately became much more cheerful, “Great, when are you free to meet and have a meal?”
Jiang Xu, “Next time, definitely next time.”
Lifuzhen, “!!!”
After ending the call, Jiang Xu’s inbox received the documents sent by Lifuzhen.
But Jiang Xu didn’t even bother to open them and deleted them straight away.
Returning the money was out of the question.
Since it had entered his pocket, it was his now.
As for whether Lifuzhen would go crazy and cause some trouble later, Jiang Xu didn’t care.
Time quickly moved on to the next evening.
An Nuonuo and Chu Youwei were dressed neatly, having spruced up to go to the banquet that evening.
An Nuonuo wore a pink long dress, her hair tied up, and white flat shoes on her feet.
Chu Youwei was in a light blue long dress, her hair also simply tied up, and white canvas shoes on her feet.
Both sisters dressed modestly, their attire and shoes not exceeding a thousand yuan.
Neither sister had flamboyant personalities.
They were just attending a banquet and didn’t want to dress too ostentatiously.
“Brother Xu, we’re off,” An Nuonuo waved to Jiang Xu and then pulled Chu Youwei away.
The party was entirely women, even the photographer, so it wasn’t really appropriate for Jiang Xu to go.
Letting An Nuonuo bring some female bodyguards would suffice.
After a while, Jiang Xu also left the house.
He needed to buy a gift for Jiang Xiaoyan.
She had helped him greatly the night before, and both emotionally and rationally, he needed to show his gratitude.
First, he headed to a clothing store.
He bought her a down jacket and a pair of shoes.
“`
He then went to Magic City’s highest-end supermarket and bought various snacks only available domestically.
In total, he spent over a hundred thousand.
He sent a bodyguard to personally deliver it by plane.
Jiang Xu didn’t trust it to anyone else’s hands.
If someone secretly poisoned it, that would be a deep regret.
Afterward, Jiang Xu also sent a message to Jiang Xiaoyan: I’ve sent the gifts I bought for you with a bodyguard.
There are some snacks too, for safety, you should have them tested for any problems once you get them.
Jiang Xiaoyan quickly replied with a photo.
It was an extremely explosive photo.
With just a glance, Jiang Xu’s pupils dilated.
A single thought in his mind.
Nuonuo, come back quickly to help me resolve this.
…
Meanwhile, An Nuonuo and Chu Youwei went to pick up Bai Xiaoya, and the three girls headed to the location of the banquet together.
“It’s quite lively, very high standard,” Bai Xiaoya remarked, nodding her head as she looked at the arrangements before her after getting out of the car.
The three girls stood together.
Although they weren’t dressed flamboyantly, they were still the most dazzling scene.
Hand in hand, the three girls walked inside.
“Strange?” Bai Xiaoya frowned slightly, “Why are other people looking at us with no expression?”
Along the way, they encountered many other contestants.
But it was as if they hadn’t seen the three of them at all.
One should know that previously, whenever An Nuonuo appeared backstage, everyone would actively run over for photos and autographs.
Chu Youwei blinked, “It seems… the atmosphere is indeed a bit off.”
More than a bit off, it was very off.
There were many cameramen and staff from the organizers at the entrance.
Before, when they saw An Nuonuo, Chu Youwei, and others, they swarmed like sharks smelling blood.
Now, each one was very indifferent.
Their faces read: “Don’t bother me.”
The three girls were puzzled.
With deep doubts, they entered the hotel and arrived at the top floor.
A glance swept across all the beauties from the various campuses.
Each one trying to outshine the others.
Some were in evening gowns, some in deep Vs, baring their midriff, their backs, their long legs.
Even the ones who usually dressed conservatively had let loose after experiencing something before.
Wearing less to gain more attention and bigger traffic is a choice that doesn’t need to be taught.
By comparison, the attire of An Nuonuo and the other two girls was very conservative.
Apart from their arms, they even only showed a little bit of their necks.
Many eyes looked over here.
But everyone’s expression was cold, and no one came over to greet them.
After a glance, they withdrew their gaze and continued chatting or toasting with others.
Big question marks appeared in the heads of the three girls.
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
Bai Xiaoya whispered, “Nuonuo, have your bodyguards be alert, in case there’s any danger…”
“Mm,” An Nuonuo nodded slightly, “I messaged them just now.”
The three proceeded inward, looking for their seats.
Generally speaking, according to their accomplishments, they definitely should be seated at the first or second table in the front.
However, after searching around, they found themselves assigned to the very last table.
A spot where even the cameras couldn’t capture.
Bai Xiaoya’s blood pressure spiked, her almond eyes glaring, “What exactly is the organizer trying to do, isn’t this an insult?
No, I’m going to find the organizer and get to the bottom of this!”
