Chapter 130: Chapter 130: The Leisurely Life of a Billionaire…
When Jiang Xu previously went up to see Fu Yanjie in his room,
Fu Xinghan had already received the message from his subordinates.
He went online to look up the map of the entire Jiang City.
Indeed, it was as Jiang Xu depicted.
The Northern City was the important passageway leading to two first-tier cities.
He also checked the fiscal revenue of Jiang City in recent years.
Indeed, it increased annually.
On top of that, Jiang Xu had already bought a building in advance.
Therefore, Fu Xinghan no longer hesitated.
He discussed it with his wife.
They planned to come over and if there were no problems, they would purchase several buildings.
After surveying the site,
basing on his sharp business sense and previous analysis by Jiang Xu,
Fu Xinghan felt it was acceptable to buy some buildings here.
However, from a businessman’s perspective, the primary consideration was risk sharing.
So, Fu Xinghan decided to go with what Jiang Xu had previously suggested.
He would shoulder some of the responsibility for Jiang Xu.
The two of them started negotiating.
Fu Yanjie was squatting not far away, playing with a bunch of ants.
Looking like the simple-minded son of a landlord.
When Fu Yanjie heard that Jiang Xu had spent nearly twenty million to buy an unfinished building here,
Fu Yanjie was first stunned, then he gave up.
He couldn’t understand his good friend anymore.
No comparison, he simply could not compare.
After serious negotiations on both sides, a plan was finalized.
Fu Xinghan would buy a total of three buildings.
One of them would be shouldered by Jiang Xu.
The money for buying the building would be initially covered by Fu Xinghan.
The contract stipulated that within a year, if the house didn’t increase in value,
then Jiang Xu, who carried the responsibility for that building, would have to return the full amount used for purchasing the building to Fu Xinghan.
Jiang Xu had no objection to this.
He signed two contracts.
One was the house purchase contract, and the other one was the renovation contract for the two buildings.
As Fu Xinghan had a professional renovation team,
he also offered Jiang Xu a preferential price.
In total, for the two buildings,
the laying of water, electricity, and gas pipelines, plus the tiling of outer wall ceramic tiles,
and simple interior decoration,
amounted to a total price of 1.8 million.
In this way, the debt that Jiang Xu carried had already amounted to thirty-two million.
After the contract was signed here,
over there, Fu Xinghan immediately contacted others to buy floor space.
The owner, hearing that someone wanted to take over, was too eager to swoop in.
He took care of all kinds of procedures personally.
By the afternoon, Jiang Xu owned one more building.
If it was according to the peak price of houses in 2017,
The total value of the two buildings held by Jiang Xu would exceed one billion.
In future, his life could be called: the leisurely life of a billionaire…
When he returned home, Jiang Xu felt a bit tired.
Running around all day, he was exhausted.
After taking a bath, Jiang Xu went straight to sleep.
When he woke up the next day, Jiang Xu didn’t go anywhere.
He spent the entire day writing at home.
Occasionally, he chatted with An Nuonuo on QQ.
Carrying so much debt, Jiang Xu was a bit pressured.
Mainly due to his parents.
It would be troublesome if they found out.
After a whole day, Jiang Xu wrote 65,000 words for ‘Martial Universe’.
It was his limit.
He felt dizzy.
His total word count exceeded two million.
When he woke up the next morning, he was 10 minutes later than usual.
He hurried to the classroom, almost arriving late.
“Are you ok?” An Nuonuo asked.
“I’m fine,” Jiang Xu shook his head.
He didn’t want to tell her about the debt, to prevent her from worrying.
“Oh.” An Nuonuo didn’t ask further.
She pulled out a box from her backpack, “This is for you. I gave Fu Yanjie a share too.”
“What is this?”
“Mooncakes, it’s Mid-Autumn Festival today, don’t you remember?”
Oh, Jiang Xu remembered.
He opened the box to look.
Six mooncakes were inside.
These weren’t like the ones sold in stores.
He asked, “Did you make these yourself?”
An Nuonuo nodded.
With slight embarrassment, she said, “I made them myself, but my cooking skills aren’t very good, they don’t look as nice as the ones sold outside.”
Jiang Xu said, “In my eyes, these are the loveliest mooncakes in the world.”
An Nuonuo flashed a sweet smile.
She took a piece and finished it in a few bites.
Jiang Xu complimented non-stop, “It’s really tasty, you’re amazing!”
This wasn’t just an empty compliment, it was indeed delicious.
Compared to mooncakes sold at stores, the ones made by An Nuonuo were less sweet.
Which was exactly Jiang Xu’s preference.
Jiang Xu couldn’t understand why all the mooncakes sold at stores were packed with excessive sugar.
So sweet it was unsatisfactory, a small bite would make one feel fed up.
An Nuonuo spoke softly, “Uncle and auntie haven’t come back yet, how about having dinner at my place tonight?”
Jiang Xu raised his eyebrows, “Is this your idea or your aunt’s?”
“My mom suggested it.”
“Alright, if it’s an invitation from your auntie, I must go.”
After school in the afternoon, An Nuonuo went home first.
Jiang Xu went to the mall to buy a few boxes of mooncakes and some tonics.
The boxes of mooncakes were for the repairmen.
Sometimes when you bought them small gifts,
They would be more dedicated when working for you.
A small sacrifice could possibly bring a greater return.
In the evening, Jiang Xu came to An Nuonuo’s house.
The two women were cooking in the kitchen, An Feng was not home yet, and he was told to sit anywhere he pleased.
Just as Jiang Xu put down the gifts he had bought, the landline phone rang.
He glanced in the direction of the kitchen.
Jiang Xu picked up the receiver.
“Hello, I have to work overtime tonight, I won’t be coming home.”
It was An Feng’s voice.
“Uncle, hello, this is Jiang Xu, happy Mid-Autumn Festival. Nuonuo and auntie are in the kitchen.”
The voice on the other end, An Feng, paused for a moment, then laughed, “Oh, it’s Jiang Xu. Please pass my message to them.”
“Okay, Uncle.”
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xu shook his head.
Just now, he clearly heard Zhang Xiaohui’s voice in the background.
Although it was very faint.
All this talk about working overtime was obviously an excuse.
He went to the kitchen and informed the mother and daughter of this.
Li Yuanjuan paused briefly, then smiled and said, “It’s alright, since he’s not coming back, let’s just eat more.
We bought big and fat hairy crabs today.”
After more than 10 minutes, a spread of eight dishes and one soup were placed on the table.
Jiang Xu poured three glasses of Sprite and raised his glass, “Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!”
“Ding!”
The three glasses clinked together.
The meal was very sumptuous that night.
Had it been outside, it would have cost at least 800 Yuan.
The two women cooked very well, the taste wasn’t inferior in any way to professional chefs.
An Nuonuo’s cooking skills were inherited from Li Yuanjuan.
And they’ve already barely begun to show signs of surpassing the teacher.
During the meal, Jiang Xu took on the role of being the mood booster.
Making the mother and daughter laugh non-stop.
The meal took them two hours to finish.
After dinner, Li Yuanjuan laughed and said, “You two go and enjoy the moon in the backyard. I’ll wash the dishes.”
An Nuonuo and Jiang Xu each took a mooncake and a grapefruit.
The moon was particularly bright that night.
An Nuonuo cut a piece of mooncake and handed it to Jiang Xu.
Then, she lifted her head and stared blankly at the moon.
Jiang Xu noticed something was off about her mood.
He asked, “What’s wrong?”
The young girl whispered, “I think… I’ve discovered a secret…”
