BXBX NOVEL Chapter 547 - 547 No, You’re Hungry
Her imagination ran wild in an instant!
Over three hours?
Is the boss really that incredible?
Won’t it break?
I really want to try it, even if it costs money, sob sob sob.
Despite her intense longing, Ally managed not to show any unusual reaction on the surface.
After getting Jiang Xu to sign a few documents, she left.
Jiang Xu kept typing away at code until five thirty in the afternoon before he stopped.
The overall progress reached 16%.
Managing to do one percent in a day was already super impressive.
Time to get off work.
Tonight, I’ll go home and cook myself.
First, he stopped by his own supermarket and bought a bunch of ingredients.
As soon as he got home, An Nuonuo gave him a “big” hug.
Then she knelt down to help Jiang Xu take off his leather shoes and put on slippers.
I reckon there wouldn’t be more than a hundred girls nationwide who could do that.
Jiang Xu patted her head: “Go to the kitchen, you can be my assistant.” “Mm-”
After their argument, their relationship improved and they treasured each other more.
After dinner, the two of them cuddled up on the couch to watch television.
They were watching a live broadcast of an awards ceremony.
“Next up is the award for the Most Popular Female Artist of the Year, nominees include Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, Zhou Qingyue…”
An Nuonuo blinked and looked at Jiang Xu: “I remember this award ceremony…”
Jiang Xu smiled and said, “Yes, listen to me.”
An Nuonuo understood.
So the Most Popular Female Artist of the Year was definitely going to be Zhou Qingyue.
Sure enough, Zhou Qingyue’s name appeared on the big screen in the end.
Tonight she was dressed in an evening gown studded with pink diamonds, stunningly beautiful beyond words.
Like a queen, she walked slowly onto the stage.
An Nuonuo hugged Jiang Xu’s waist, her eyes fixed on the TV, and whispered,
“Brother Xu, I gave her a chance already, if she messes up again…”
“Mm,” Jiang Xu replied, “you don’t have to do anything, I will personally take herdown.”
Although Zhou Qingyue was currently a super money-maker for the company. She could bring in about a billion in net profit for the company each year. But if it could have too big of an impact on his and An Nuonuo’s relationship Jiang Xu would not hesitate to let her go.
After all, as long as there was money, a new headliner could always be made.
But there was only one Nuonuo.
Tonight’s ceremony turned Zhou Qingyue into the absolute biggest winner. Most Popular Female Artist, Most Popular Singer, Audience Favorite Artist Best Actress, Best Television Actress…
Big and small, she won over a dozen trophies.
Many artists below the stage were seething yet didn’t dare to speak out.
To be honest, considering Zhou Qingyue’s acting skills and status, no one really
had an issue with her winning Best Actress or Best Television Actress.
But she won just too many awards.
As a result, many big stars and top-tier celebrities came only to play supporting roles, serving merely as a backdrop for Zhou Qingyue, treated as stepping stones. 5
The award ceremony was not over yet, and articles about Zhou Qingyue were already flooding all the major platforms, with her popularity reaching an exaggerated level.
Following that, Zhou Qingyue released a special thank you video on Daily Headlines.
Daily Headlines gained a large influx of users once again.
In terms of daily active users, it was almost surpassing Weibo.
However, Daily Headlines’ real competitor was never Weibo.
Weibo was actually quite Buddhist in nature, not fighting or scrambling for anything.
The true competitor was the Penguin Group.
Of course, there has not been much conflict yet.
It would only be after Jiang Xu managed to replicate Douyin from his previous
life that he would directly compete with Penguin.
Besides Zhou Qingyue, the second big winner of the evening was Mo Hawa’er.
Having won several awards, they were dubbed “Little Zhou Qingyue” by the public.
Many people believed that Mo Hawa’er may have the potential to replace Zhou Qingyue in the future.
But no one knew that Mo Hawa’er was actually one of JiangXu’s people.
Even Mo Hawa’er themself was unaware of this fact.
Jiang Xu turned off the television and put his right hand on the back of An
Nuonuo’s head, “Are you hungry? Would you like to drink some yogurt?”
An Nuonuo shook her head, “No.”
Jiang Xu applied a little pressure with his right hand, “No, you are hungry.”
An Nuonuo: (? x’ ■).
The next day, Jiang Xu returned to the company alone and continued coding.
Meanwhile, An Nuonuo was taken out to play by Bai Xiaoya.
They also invited Jiang Xiaoyan and Zhou Qingyue.
They said they were going out to sea and would play for several days.
Zhou Qingyue initially didn’t want to go.
Because this was a rare opportunity to spend time alone with Jiang Xu.
But An Nuonuo saw through her intentions and insisted that she go.
Unable to refuse the boss’s wife, Zhou Qingyue had no choice but to comply.
For safety reasons, Jiang Xu dispatched all of his female bodyguards to accompany them.
Jiang Xu realized that the progress on the big data system was too slow when done alone.
So he selected a few trustworthy programmers from the company.
He delegated a small, less critical part of the task to his subordinates.
This greatly improved efficiency.
That afternoon, Jiang Xu received a call from Lu Chao and took a trip to the factory.
“What’s the matter, calling me over in such a rush?” Jiang Xu asked with curiosity.
Lu Chao had not specified the reason over the phone.
But it sounded urgent.
“Tch, damn it!” Lu Chao spat on the ground, his face grim, “Two months ago we paid a two billion yuan deposit to Lanhe’s Ah Si to buy a photolithography ’ machine.
But now, they keep making excuses and refuse to deliver.
I suspect they never intend to ship it, and the money is as good as gone.”
Two billion yuan was no small amount.
Especially when the company was short on funds in many aspects.
Though he could now develop 32-nanometer chips.
In terms of photolithography machines, he was still several versions behind the foreign technology.
That’s why the decision had been made to purchase one from abroad for research.
“This is quite troublesome,” Jiang Xu frowned.
It was well known whom Lanhe had for support.
And similar incidents had occurred in his previous life.
A domestic company had paid, but the supplier abroad refused to ship, and
even lawsuits were to no avail.
There’s no reasoning with gangsters.
The most sensible course of action would naturally be to write off the two billion yuan.
But knowing Jiang Xu’s character, he was not the type to swallow such a loss.
Let alone two billion, even being swindled out of twenty yuan meant you’d have to cough it up.
“Ah\'” Lu Chao sighed, “the decision to purchase the photolithography machine from Lanhe was mine, so I’ll cover the loss of the two billion yuan.”
“No need,” Jiang Xu considered briefly, then had an idea, “Leave this matter to
Lu Chao clearly didn’t believe Jiang Xu could achieve such a result.
After all, Lanhe was a super-developed country with unrivaled photolithography technology.
Besides Mei Country, no other nation could influence them.
Lu Chao patted JiangXu’s shoulder, “Don’t be too hard on yourself, we are still very weak.”
