Taking advantage of the beauty being poor, fooling her into being my girlfriend-Chapter 575 - Dispensing Money at the Slightest Disagreement

Chapter 575: Chapter 575 Dispensing Money at the Slightest Disagreement

Ally brought over the financial report for the first quarter of the year from the group.

Jiang Xu’s spirit lifted, and he immediately took it over and started reading carefully.

The group’s main earnings for the year still came from the entertainment sector.

Films and novels combined, the total net profit for the first quarter reached 1.26 billion.

Frankly, this was thanks to Zhou Qingyue’s explosive popularity, which then drove the success of the works she starred in and the related novels.

The contribution she alone made accounted for more than 20% of the total.

Then, the second largest revenue source was from gaming. freēnovelkiss.com

Its total net profit was 820 million.

The third largest was rental income, 330 million.

The fourth was the courier industry, just over 60 million.

As for mobile phone earnings, they were all reinvested into the research and development of the next, or even the next-next-generation phones.

The total net profit for the first quarter was around 2.5 billion, which was already very impressive.

Jiang Xu was in a good mood and said to Ally, “Order takeout for all the company employees, and this month, everyone’s bonus will be increased by an extra five thousand.”

He was quick to distribute money without hesitation.

Jiang Xu had now fully grasped the essence of the Chrysanthemum Factory’s spirit.

All the motivational talk in the world is no substitute for cold, hard cash.

Ally was overjoyed: “I thank the boss on behalf of everyone.”

Having such a generous boss was simply too wonderful.

Not long after Ally left, cheers rose one after another from outside.

When he returned home, An Nuonuo had already prepared dinner.

Chen Yue and Jiang Shan had also come over.

The moment Jiang Xu entered, he heard Chen Yue praising An Nuonuo.

He was no longer surprised by it.

It was Chen Yue’s standard procedure.

She always praised her future daughter-in-law upon seeing her.

Don’t think Chen Yue’s protection of An Nuonuo on a daily basis was an act.

She genuinely liked An Nuonuo from the bottom of her heart.

Of course, her love had its limits.

What she gave to An Nuonuo in love, she could only give to Jiang Xu in… beatings.

She’d start hitting him over trivial matters.

She’d hit him when she was in a good mood, and even more when she wasn’t; she’d hit him when she liked what she saw, and even more when she didn’t.

After dinner, his parents stayed for a while before leaving.

As they were leaving, Chen Yue gave Jiang Xu an encouraging look, then rubbed her own belly.

Jiang Xu understood immediately.

Unfortunately, despite his efforts for such a long time, there had been no progress.

Brother Xu.” After the two left, An Nuonuo sat next to Jiang Xu: “The sisters from the Hundred Flowers Club invited me to a gathering tomorrow, should I go?”

“Hmm?” Jiang Xu looked at her: “What do you mean?”

In the past, she had never asked Jiang Xu whether to attend Hundred Flowers Club gatherings.

And now, at this time, could the Hundred Flowers Club’s invitation be related to the poisoning incident?

Hmm.” An Nuonuo nodded: “I feel something’s not right.

Previously, the gatherings were every three months, but it’s only been one and a half months since the last one.”

She grasped Jiang Xu’s hand, showing a worried expression.

“Do you know who initiated this gathering?” Jiang Xu asked.

“It’s Vice President Lan Yue,” she replied.

“I’ll have someone investigate her. Don’t go tomorrow, find an excuse to decline,” he instructed.

“Okay, I got it.”

An Nuonuo promptly called Lan Yue: “Sister, I’m sorry, but I need to accompany Brother Xu to deal with some important matters tomorrow, my apologies.”

“Ah, can’t you change the date?” Lan Yue spoke softly: “I really miss you, how about I send someone to pick you up tomorrow? We won’t spend much time together.”

An Nuonuo: “I’m truly sorry, I really can’t make it.”

Usually, after saying as much, the other party wouldn’t insist further.

But Lan Yue acted out of character and said a lot.

The core idea was the same, insisting that An Nuonuo must attend.

Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo exchanged glances.

There was a big problem with this Lan Yue.

Jiang Xu s mouth moved, but no sound came out.

An Nuonuo understood, “Sister Lan Yue, I really can’t make it tomorrow…

How about this, I’m free now, shall we go out for a meal?”

“Oh yes!” Lan Yue was overjoyed, “I’ll send someone to pick you up right away!” An Nuonuo’s heart sank.

If she only had some doubts before, now there was a seventy to eighty percent chance that she could confirm Lan Yue was a big problem.

“Ah no need, Sister Lan Yue, just give me the address, I’ll go there myself.”

“All right, then go to the Baihuahui Club, I’ll be waiting for you in the top floor’s room number 001.”

The Baihuahui Club was the property of the Hundred Flowers Club, specifically for the members’ gatherings.

On regular days, it also operated as a business for the public.

After ending the call, the two immediately sprang into action.

They set off half an hour later.

When An Nuonuo arrived at the Baihuahui Club entrance, she got out of the car with two female bodyguards following behind her.

Jiang Xu stayed in the car without getting out.

Su Cheng had also arrived, though in the car behind.

An Nuonuo quickly reached the top floor.

Lan Yue was perhaps monitoring and knew of An Nuonuo’s arrival in advance, so she was waiting at the elevator.

Upon seeing An Nuonuo, she gave her a big hug, “Nuonuo, you’re finally here, I’ve missed you so much.

Do you know, of all the members, you are my favorite.”

“Thank you,” An Nuonuo said shyly.

Lan Yue was unusually enthusiastic today.

If it weren’t for the matter at hand, An Nuonuo really wouldn’t suspect Lan Yue of anything.

Lan Yue affectionately hooked An Nuonuo’s arm, “Come on, today we’ve air-shipped in a batch of fine fruits and seafood from overseas, you’ll definitelv like it.”

“Thank you, Sister Lan Yue~”

“What are you being polite for, we’re sisters.”

They entered the private room, a table full of delicacies and fine wine.

As soon as they sat down, Lan Yue personally peeled shrimp for An Nuonuo

and placed them in her bowl, “Eat, it’s really delicious.”

An Nuonuo looked at the translucent shrimp meat in her bowl and dared not take a bite.

If it were really like what she and Jiang Xu had speculated, eating it would be the end.

“Thank you, sister,” An Nuonuo rose, “I drank too much water before leaving home, I need to use the restroom first.”

“Okay, go ahead,” Lan Yue didn’t pay much mind.

An Nuonuo walked into the restroom, then sent a message to Jiang Xu.

She waited for about a minute before coming out.

Now An Nuonuo’s bowl was filled with a variety of food.

Lan Yue smiled at An Nuonuo, “Eat up before it cools down, it won’t taste as good.”

After saying this, a pair of eyes fixed on An Nuonuo, carrying something indefinable and unsettling.

“Okay,” An Nuonuo picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a piece of meat, and slowly brought it towards her mouth.

Lan Yue involuntarily held her breath.

Closer, closer.

Just as her chopsticks were about to touch An Nuonuo’s mouth,

At that moment, a commotion erupted outside.

An Nuonuo placed the meat back in the bowl and asked curiously, “What’s happening outside?”

A flicker of cold light crossed Lan Yue’s eyes, “I’ll go take a look!”

With that, she grabbed her purse and headed out..
