Taking advantage of the beauty being poor, fooling her into being my girlfriend

Chapter 702: Chapter 702: I’m a Man with Connections

Jiang Xu smiled.

This guy actually knew about the system.

He didn’t bother with small talk and went straight to the point, “Tell those engineers.

For every five percent increase in yield rate, I’ll give them a hundred million to split among themselves.

But they only have half a month.

How much money they can get depends on themselves.”

With limited time, Jiang Xu couldn’t think of a better solution.

He could only use the most old-fashioned method: generous rewards bring out brave men.

If the yield rate was higher, then his confidence would be stronger.

——————

Over the next half-month, Jiang Xu devoted himself entirely to his work.

Yikali didn’t contact him again; it was as if she had forgotten about him.

But Jiang Xu knew it was just the calm before the storm.

That afternoon, Jiang Xu received an invitation.

It invited him to attend a banquet that evening and to bring a family member or girlfriend.

It was an invitation he couldn’t refuse.

The venue was at Magic City’s premier restaurant.

This was not a place that just anyone had access to.

Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo had prepared early.

Jiang Xu, unusually, wasn’t wearing a suit but instead wore a set of slightly youthful Tang clothing.

An Nuonuo wore a cheongsam.

To avoid drawing too much attention to An Nuonuo,

well, mainly the blaze, Jiang Xu didn’t want her to be scrutinized by others, so he asked her to wear a small vest over it.

It didn’t look abrupt. On the contrary, it added a different kind of beauty.

They arrived at the premier restaurant.

They got out of the car.

An Nuonuo, looking up, reached out to touch a few snowflakes.

She murmured to herself, “It’s snowing again tonight.”

Sensing the worry in her voice, Jiang Xu grabbed her hand.

Her hand was cold.

He wasn’t sure if it was due to the weather or because she was overly anxious.

Jiang Xu smiled calmly, “Don’t worry, I have everything under control.

Even in the worst-case scenario, we’d just be settling on Spirit Turtle Island.”

Long ago, Jiang Xu had prepared extensively.

He had people buy properties and shops in many places overseas.

He also placed a portion of his money, about five or six billion, in other regions.

Even in the most severe circumstances, he could ensure that everyone close to him had nothing to worry about.

His hand was large and warm, immediately calming her heart, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

The two walked side by side toward the inside.

Someone was waiting inside to escort them to the top floor.

There was only one room here.

As they pushed open the door, everyone else had already arrived.

The room had over twenty people, many of whom were often seen online.

Jiang Xu was somewhat taken aback, “I’m sorry, we are late.”

He had actually arrived half an hour early.

The man in his fifties sitting in the middle smiled, “No problem at all, we came early. Have a seat.”

This man’s surname was Zhang, named Zhang Ge, with considerable personal charm and outstanding work ability.

Jiang Xu led An Nuonuo to the remaining two seats.

They were directly opposite Yikali’s family.

It was obviously intentional.

Yikali was exceptionally eye-catching today.

Dressed in incredibly lavish clothes, her face was painted with makeup that was exquisitely refined.

She looked infinitely charming, as if she were glowing.

This was a stark contrast to her usual cute and innocent look.

At that moment, Yikali’s gaze was burning as she looked at Jiang Xu.

After tonight, Jiang Xu would belong to her completely.

So seeing Jiang Xu so close to An Nuonuo, she felt a bit uncomfortable inside.

Yikali’s father, Yi Bai, and her mother, Mo Liya, were also watching Jiang Xu.

It had to be said, even though they had seen countless young talents.

They still had to admit that Jiang Xu was truly exceptional.

Their daughter indeed had very good taste.

The only downside was that Jiang Xu had already announced publicly that he was going to marry An Nuonuo.

But that wasn’t too big of a problem.

When the time came, they would simply have Jiang Xu release a statement, saying that the relationship between the two of them had broken down.

“Hehe,” Zhang Ge chuckled, “Let’s eat first, we can talk while we eat.”

The minds of everyone present were elsewhere.

Yi Bai had barely eaten a few bites when he took the initiative to speak to Jiang Xu, “Mr. Jiang, do you think the wedding should be held here, or should we go back to Dahe Country to do it?

Or we could even hold ceremonies in both places, that’s possible too.”

Yikali’s face immediately turned red.

She glanced at Jiang Xu twice, too embarrassed to lower her head.

Then she sneakily raised her head to take another look.

Her coy demeanor made Yi Bai and Mo Liya burst into hearty laughter.

The others at the table quickly joined in the laughter.

Only Jiang Xu remained calm.

An Nuonuo’s lips had turned a bit white.

Her hands were under the table, clenched unconsciously.

Yi Bai looked at An Nuonuo and said, “You’re innocent in this matter as well.

We wouldn’t let you suffer for nothing, so we will compensate you with twenty billion yuan.”

True to the moniker of big-shot, he spoke of twenty billion as if it was a mere two hundred yuan in the eyes of ordinary people.

Not even blinking an eye.

“Heh,” Jiang Xu let out an inappropriate cold laugh, “When did I ever say I agreed to this?”

As soon as he said this, the room immediately fell silent.

Yikali looked at Jiang Xu in disbelief.

She wanted to say something, but the circumstances didn’t allow her to speak.

She simply stared at Jiang Xu with a gaze full of confusion and a touch of anger.

What’s the point of struggling now, when it’s impossible to resist?

Yi Bai’s expression darkened, “This matter has been decided by everyone; you have no room to resist!”

To be honest, with his status, even talking about this matter was already giving Jiang Xu a lot of face.

To dare say such things at this meeting was a severe slap to his face.

If not for his daughter’s deep affection for Jiang Xu, he would make things very difficult for him.

Zhang Ge took a sip of tea, his expression mild as he looked at Jiang Xu, “Yikali is a truly fine woman.

If you marry her, your future prospects will be boundless.

I know you value loyalty and righteousness, but sometimes as a man, you should prioritize your career and the bigger picture.”

Coming from him, these words carried significant weight.

The room was filled with a heavy pressure, and everyone’s face bore a profoundly serious expression.

An Nuonuo remained silent throughout, keeping her breathing as low as possible.

Unexpectedly, Yi Bai looked at An Nuonuo again and said, “If you truly love Jiang Xu, you shouldn’t bind him.

Instead, you should let him go; he is destined to soar across the sky.

Not to be trapped by your side, only able to be a little sparrow. You’re hurting him, don’t you understand!”
