Jiang Xu nodded. It was time to sign the contract.
An Nuonuo’s face was flushed, but it wasn’t noticeable because she was wearing a mask.
Her heart was racing. She still hadn’t quite recovered from the ‘deep confession’ Jiang Xu had made earlier.
Even though Jiang Xu didn’t want to be a scumbag.
The tactics of the scumbags were indeed useful.
The house cost 700,000, and he gave the agent 20,000.
His efficiency soared.
Probably it was his first time handling so much money.
Then he went off to get the property title.
Such a title, with all the paperwork in order, was pretty quick to process.
Jiang Xu went out to a small shop to buy some paper and a pen, and then began writing out the requirements of both of them in the house.
After some discussion, they decided on the front and back yard.
They would plant two Osmanthus trees in the front yard.
When they bloomed, the entire house would be filled with the fragrance of Osmanthus.
In the backyard, they’d plant fruit trees, add a little swing, and grow some easy-to-care-for vegetables.
The two kept discussing and refining all sorts of requirements.
If they wanted to stir up feelings, they needed to do things that both parties felt involved in.
They spent close to two hours putting the entire conceptualization and requirements of the house down in writing.
Then Jiang Xu patted his chest and said, “I’ll start self-learning design tonight. I’ll make our home beautiful.”
An Nuonuo just quietly acknowledged.
She didn’t know if it was because she was touched, or because Jiang Xu had referred to it as “our home,” which made her feel a little shy.
The agent returned.
He brought the property title and two cups of bubble tea for Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo, “I want to wish you two a happy future marriage.”
“No… it’s not like that…”
An Nuonuo wanted to explain, but Jiang Xu simply took the two cups of bubble tea.
He passed one to An Nuonuo, interrupting, “Go ahead and drink. Don’t waste his good intentions.”
The young girl pinched him gently.
She clearly understood what he was up to.
The property title had the names Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo on it.
An Nuonuo looked at the property title, feeling a bit dazed.
Something seemed a bit strange.
But she couldn’t figure out what was odd at the moment.
Jiang Xu, on the other hand, was feeling a bit antsy.
Considering he just bought another property, he needed to show it off a bit. Otherwise, he’d feel out of sorts.
Right.
He called Fu Yanjie, “Where are you? Hurry over. Big news. I’ll send the address to your phone.”
When Fu Yanjie received the call from Jiang Xu, he thought something had happened to him.
So, he rushed over in a hurry.
And there he saw Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo, sitting on the steps of the new house, laughing and talking.
“What happened?”
Jiang Xu chuckled, “Nothing much. Just that the house behind me, I’ve bought it.”
Fu Yanjie: “??? ”
He stood still for a few seconds, then started looking around.
He bent down, picked up a brick.
“Dog stuff, you did this to show off to me, didn’t you? I’ll kill you.”
“No, no, no. Young man, don’t lose your temper.” Jiang Xu laughed as he threw Fu Yanjie’s brick on the ground.
He said, “Just kidding. I brought you here to ask you again to find some decorators.”
If there was a business opportunity, he would definitely look out for his brothers.
Although, this small profit might not have been enough to catch Fu Yanjie’s father’s eye.
But Fu Xinghan would be happy about it if he knew.
After all, his son’s friend, when he had a good deal, would think of his son first.
In the future, if he wanted to borrow money or get investors, it would be easier.
“Where did you get the money to buy another house?” Fu Yanjie was feeling quite blue.
This scoundrel enjoyed giving him a little shock now and then.
Sometimes Fu Yanjie felt like he was rubbish.
He didn’t deserve to be friends with a talented person like Jiang Xu.
“Nothing much, just made a little unexpected money.” Jiang Xu waved his hand dismissively, “Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning.”
Fu Yanjie was infuriated for a moment.
He secretly swore that when he got home that night, he’d also have his father give him a couple of million.
I’ll buy seven houses, live in a different one each day, ah, I’m doing this purely for fun!
And Fu Yanjie really did that.
However, he didn’t expect that this decision would later increase his assets by several hundred million…
The decoration of this house was entirely entrusted to Fu Yanjie.
His family maintained a complete construction team.
When business wasn’t too busy, personnel could be allocated at any time.
Materials and everything else were all included.
He trusted Fu Xinghan wouldn’t swindle him in this regard.
Tomorrow, the construction team could start work.
They could begin with the ceiling, and by the evening, Jiang Xu could produce the design plans.
This way, he could delay telling An Nuonuo for a few days.
Perfect.
“Got it, got it, I’m leaving. Seeing you is a headache.”
Fu Yanjie left, grumbling.
Jiang Xu felt relieved.
Although this suffering was built on his good friend.
But isn’t that what friends are for?
He then turned to An Nuonuo and said, “Don’t tell anyone about the house, just the two of us know.”
“Ok, I got it.”
Time to go home.
Jiang Xu walked her part of the way, then returned to his own house.
First, he spent an hour on the design plans.
He could surreptitiously give them to Fu Yanjie tomorrow.
Then he continued to write.
At ten o’clock sharp, he turned off the light.
Jiang Xiaoyan sent a message: gaigai, are you missing me?
Jiang Xu didn’t respond, simply turning his mobile phone off.
Over on her side, Jiang Xiaoyan sent a message, but after waiting half an hour with no reply…
So she tried calling.
“The user you are calling has switched off their mobile.”
The mechanical voice from the mobile phone made Jiang Xiaoyan extremely angry.
“Jiang Xu, wait for me, once I’m home I’m stuffing socks in your mouth!”
The next day.
Jiang Xu was eating mutton noodles.
Only then did he remember that his mobile phone was switched off.
When he turned it on, he saw several messages.
Missed calls from Jiang Xiaoyan and a message from Liu Yue.
The message contained two things.
The first was that the film version of “Pure Lover” had started shooting.
Ah, the leading lady was still Zhou Qingyue.
The production cost was several tens of millions.
And Liu Yue told Jiang Xu that once the filming of this movie was completed,
They would start filming “Those Miserable Years of Youth”.
If the box office performance of “Pure Lover” was good, a TV series would also be planned.
That was the production rhythm.
She also asked when Jiang Xu’s new book would come out.
It seemed that she had already tasted the sweetness of Jiang Xu’s novel.
The other point was that as of yesterday, the box office for “Those Bygone Years” was 59.8 million.
This was roughly in line with forecasts.
The forecast had predicted 60 to 70 million.
But the film was already running out of steam.
Now it was just gaining some tens of thousands to 200 thousand in box office sales every day.
It was about time for it to be pulled off screens.
Liu Yue had already discussed the copyright issues with a dozen TV stations.
Because of the unique subject matter and good box office results,
The prices offered by the major TV stations were considered high.
Last, Liu Yue roughly detailed the profit Jiang Xu could finally receive.
