BXBX NOVEL Chapter 554: Stingy, Drinking Cold Water
No one refused.
After all, it was because of Jiang Xu that they had managed to get their hands on these photolithography machines in the first place.
Nobody would think that Jiang Xu would use these technologies for any nefarious purposes.
After obtaining the complete technology, Jiang Xu took Jiang Xiaoyan and left.
Jiang Xiaoyan looked utterly despondent, as if she had been drained by a male fox spirit.
Jiang Xu looked at her and said, Til take you home to rest, and you will come to my place tonight. I will personally cook a feast for you.”
It was indeed appropriate to reward Jiang Xiaoyan, as she had certainly made a significant contribution.
Alright.” As soon as she heard this, Jiang Xiaoyan immediately cheered up.
After sending Jiang Xiaoyan home, Jiang Xu went to the government office building.
The next task he needed to do required a report to the authorities and their consent before he could proceed.
Before long, Jiang Xu left from there.
The authorities had agreed.
On the way back, Jiang Xu personally went to the largest vegetable market and bought a lot of ingredients
He also called Bai Xiaoya to invite her to come over for dinner that evening.
As for Zhou Qingyue, he decided not to invite her.
After all, she was still in her probationary period.
Once home, he asked An Nuonuo to help out.
There were many dishes to prepare for that evening.
Remembering that Jiang Xiaoyan loved dumplings, Jiang Xu assigned An Nuonuo the task of making them.
They were busy until after five in the afternoon when Jiang Xiaoyan and Bai Xiaoya arrived together.
“Nuonuo, did you miss me?”
“Hello to both sisters.”
The three girls had a close moment together.
Jiang Xu couldn’t understand why girls always greeted each other like this.
After washing his hands, Jiang Xu looked at Jiang Xiaoyan a few times.
Yes.
After some rest, only a light trace of dark circles remained under her eyes, and her entire state of mind looked very good.
“Okay, let’s eat.”
“Ah, this smells so good,” Bai Xiaoya said as she fanned her hand lightly, “I’ll probably gain three pounds just tonight.”
Jiang Xiaoyan said with a grin, “I’m not afraid of gaining weight. I’m the type who doesn’t put on pounds no matter how much I eat.”
“I hate people like you the most,” Bai Xiaoya wrinkled her nose.
“Eat more, both of you sisters,” An Nuonuo said, standing up to serve more food to them.
“You’re too virtuous,” Bai Xiaoya made a heart shape with her hand, “Nuonuo, if I were a guy, even if I had to tie you up, I’d take you home to be my wife.”
Jiang Xiaoyan said, “I’d do the same.”
Although she’d always been competing with An Nuonuo on the sly, she never denied An Nuonuo’s personal charm, which was indeed extraordinary.
An Nuonuo smiled shyly.
She had never thought of herself as particularly good or virtuous.
She always felt that doing laundry, cooking, and housework were basic skills that a girl should master.
Some girls were just influenced by external cultures, or to put it harshly, brainwashed.
After a satisfying meal,
It was a happy day, and the three girls had a few drinks before singing songs in the living room.
Meanwhile, Zhou Qingyue had just returned.
The first thing she did was to sneak a peek from the balcony.
Then she saw An Nuonuo and the other two singing songs.
Instantly, she ground her teeth in frustration, “How infuriating, you have a get-together and don’t invite me.”
She could naturally guess that her exclusion was likely due to the incident last time.
“Hmph, may the stingy drink cold water; I don’t care at all if you didn’t invite me.”
Jiang Xu went to the study.
He turned on his computer and got to work.
After half an hour, he called Jiang Xiaoyan over.
“Wow, you’ve got some nerve,” Jiang Xiaoyan whistled. “Your fiancee’s out and you ve called me up here alone. Are we playing something thrilling?”
Jiang Xu couldn’t be bothered with her nonsense.
He pulled a chair over and patted it. “Sit down, I need your help.”
Jiang Xiaoyan plopped down onto the chair.
A moment later.
Once Jiang Xiaoyan understood what Jiang Xu was planning, her face lit up with excitement, loving the chaos, “Great, great, this sounds fun.
You wait, I’ll get Sister Bai Xue to help too, we’ll turn their world upside down!”
Bai Xiaoya and An Nuonuo didn’t come to bother them.
Jiang Xu and Jiang Xiaoyan pushed their tech skills to the limit, typing away at the keyboard for four or five hours straight.
It wasn’t until past two in the morning that they finally stopped.
“I can’t anymore, I can’t. I’m off to sleep,” Jiang Xiaoyan wobbled to her feet, cursing,
“You’re ruthless, using me like a beast of burden, huh? Next time, I’m going to charge.”
Jiang Xiaoyan felt completely drained.
Jiang Xu laughed, “Sister Xiao Yan, you’ve worked hard. Stay over tonight.
111 make breakfast myself in the morning as a token of gratitude.”
Jiang Xiaoyan’s eyes sparkled, “Then can I sleep with you guys tonight? Skip the breakfast.”
Jiang Xu: “Get lost!”
JiangXiaoyan: “Hmph!”
Meanwhile, across dozens of countries around the globe, a mysterious file suddenly appeared on the internet.

Today was just like any other day. With headphones on, he began surfing the internet.
He refreshed the page and suddenly, a post with a peculiar title popped up.
[Lanhe’s Arsene Company Leaks Entire Previous-Generation Photolithography Machine Technology]
When Puka first saw the title, he thought someone was playing a joke or pulling a prank.
How could such a thing appear online?
But driven by curiosity, he clicked on it anyway.
As a programmer, he couldn’t understand most of the content inside.

Who on earth could have done it?
Similar incidents occurred simultaneously in Ghost Country, Hammer Country, Romantic Country, Lanhe, and several other nations’ networks.
It instantly caused a huge uproar.

Though not the latest
