Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Only when using a book do you realize its scarcity, So many mountains and so much grass
The director of Finance was rather emotional as he said, "There is as much as one hundred and sixty thousand. This is really incredible."
Lin Nan was also quite shocked by this number, then laughed, "Yes, I mean, this guy, my author, is a ghostwriter, a fast typer. He deserves the money."
She had originally estimated that one hundred thousand would be an average.
She had been busy with other things these past two days and hadn't paid attention to the sales figures.
Unbeknownst to her, the sales had been improving day by day thanks to positive word-of-mouth.
More than ninety-five percent of stores nationwide were selling out every day.
Lin Nan confirmed the data and signed off on it once she saw that there were no discrepancies.
Only after she saw the Finance Department deposit the payment for the manuscript into Jiang Xu's account, she left.
After her resignation, her share of the manuscript fees would have to be transferred at a fixed time every day.
Back in her office, Lin Nan sent a message to Jiang Xu to ask if he had received the manuscript fee.
A text message came in.
Jiang Xu opened it and laughed.
The manuscript fee had actually come in, and it was as much as one hundred and fifty thousand.
With this manuscript fee, plus the tens of thousands of yuan he had on hand, and after some bargaining, he could almost afford to buy Li Honghong's house.
Then he replied to Lin Nan that he had received it.
Immediately, Lin Nan sent back a message: Quick, give me the follow-up chapters of the novel. I can't stand it without reading it every day. I'm already... becoming an idiot if I don't read.
Jiang Xu: "...."
Sis, can you please talk properly?
Without saying a word, he sent her the tens of thousands of words he had recently updated.
This book, Overbearing CEO fell in love with me, was about to be finished in a few days.
However, since the strategy had now changed, Jiang Xu was temporarily not considering turning this book into a physical version.
He had other plans.
In the afternoon, when Fu Yanjie came back with food, he told Jiang Xu that the house was renovated.
After An Nuonuo left, he went to see it with Fu Yanjie.
"This house is in a good location and well decorated," Fu Yanjie said, visiting for the first time.
After looking at it, he gave a positive evaluation.
Then he toured the two offices on the first floor: "That smaller office, it's mine, right?"
"No!" Jiang Xu laughed and scolded him, "How could you make such a remark?"
Fu Yanjie glared, "I'm the second shareholder, don't I deserve my own office?"
"You're the third shareholder, the second shareholder is someone else. Moreover, you don't need an office, if you want to play games, go to an Internet Cafe."
Fu Yanjie was furious, "You dare to talk to an investor like this, I'm going to withdraw my investment!"
Jiang Xu gave him the middle finger and ignored him.
He then went to the backyard.
Immediately, he felt cheered up.
Everything was done according to his requirements.
Grape trees, swings, small fish ponds, and so on were all in place.
In addition, a Plexiglas cover was added to the top of the yard.
Even if it rained, he could sit in the yard, one hand holding a cola, one hand holding spicy strips, and recite a poem.
When it's time to read, you always wish for more books, there are so many mountains and so much grass.
On the wall, three rows of flower pots were also hung.
They contained all kinds of small flowers, some of which had already bloomed.
Anyone visiting this place for the first time would undoubtedly feel like they had entered a paradise.
Yes.
Very good.
Tonight, he would invite An Nuonuo over.
Have a candlelight dinner in the yard.
After eating, intentionally turn off the lights, and then...
Hehehe.
Perfect!
Jiang Xu checked the weather forecast for tonight.
Well, there's no moon, hoping the forecast is accurate.
Later, Jiang Xu went to the villa that Fu Yanjie bought for a visit.
He had agreed to visit a long time ago but just hadn't had time.
This guy turned the entire villa into an esports style.
The first floor was for rest and play.
The second floor was lined with high-end computers.
The third floor was a self-service dining area.
You could say, rich people really know how to have a good time.
Jiang Xu played a few rounds of CF with him there before heading off to the vegetable market to buy groceries.
As he was walking through the market, he texted An Nuonuo, inviting her to come over in the evening.
She quickly replied to his message.
'I can't make it today, I've had a terrible stomachache since I got back.'
Jiang Xu immediately asked what was wrong.
'Nothing, my stomach just hurts a lot. I'll be better after a good sleep.'
Jiang Xu understood.
She was having her period.
It caused pain because she had too much cold energy in her body.
The first thing that came to his mind was a news story he'd read in a past life.
A girl eased her menstrual pain in the heat of summer by sitting on a stone that had been baked by the sun.
Then, she miraculously found her menstrual pain was gone.
Some cheeky netizens even joked that this method is called "heat treatment".
Of course, Jiang Xu couldn't possibly bring a large stone to her house.
Girls tend to be relatively sensitive and vulnerable in these times.
It was the perfect time to establish deeper connections.
Jiang Xu immediately left the vegetable market and went to a nearby fruit shop to buy two durians.
He had one opened and packed in a plastic bag.
A fun fact, durian is a heaty fruit.
It helps to promote blood flow and remove blood stasis, and was much better than brown sugar water.
The only downside was that it was expensive.
He arrived at An Nuonuo's house.
He knocked on the door.
Li Yuanjuan answered the door.
Now that she didn't have to work and had money, her dress and appearance had become considerably more upscale.
She also looked much younger.
He hoped she would never find out about the things her husband had done outside.
"Xiao Xu, come on in," she greeted warmly with a smile.
Jiang Xu nodded, "Thank you, Auntie. I'll come in then."
"Look at you! Why did you bring something? You could've come empty-handed!" Li Yuanjuan admonished lightly.
Jiang Xu grinned, "Just something I bought casually. Is Nuonuo here? I heard she wasn't feeling well. Can I go check on her?"
"Of course, she's in her bedroom, you can go in yourself."
Li Yuanjuan trusted Jiang Xu implicitly now.
Judging from the way she looked at him, he guessed she was probably eager to have grandchildren already.
Well, she did maintain the traditional mindset of the older generation.
He came to An Nuonuo's room and rapped lightly on the door.
The door wasn't closed.
It opened with just a push.
An Nuonuo was lying in bed under a blanket, sweating profusely.
On the bedside table was a half-drunk cup of brown sugar water.
She was indeed having her period.
She only noticed him when he approached.
Her voice came weakly, "Why are you here?"
"Here to help ease your pain. Come, let me help you sit up."
He carefully helped Nuonuo sit up.
Jiang Xu took out the durian, "Here, have some. It'll help."
An Nuonuo frowned, "It stinks."
Many people cannot tolerate the smell of durian.
But for those who love it, they really love it.
Jiang Xu reassured, "Just have a bite. It can help ease your stomachache."
An Nuonuo, "I don't want."
Jiang Xu, "If you don't listen, I'm going to log into your QQ account and tell everyone in the group you like me."
An Nuonuo appeared torn.
She finally took a deep breath, made up her mind, and opened her mouth slightly, blushing.
Jiang Xu couldn't help but say, "Open wider. You're not opening wide enough for me to put it in."
