Taking advantage of the beauty being poor, fooling her into being my girlfriend - Chapter 517 - 517 Completely Given Up

Chapter 517: Chapter 517 Completely Given Up

“As long as you’re willing to switch nationalities, your fee proportion for shooting films, commercials, and the like will be raised from the original 4% to 35%.”

As these words were uttered, the sixteen female artists from Little Hammer widened their pupils, incredulous.

The artists from Little Hammer seemed gloriously successful, but in reality, even top-tier stars couldn’t earn much in a year.

After being exploited at every level, they would be lucky to receive even 1% in the end.

A fee of one billion would only net them ten million, and then there would be taxes to pay.

And Jiang Xu suddenly offered them such a substantial increase, the allure of which was self-evident.

Each of them became excited, their faces flushed red and their bodies shaking slightly.

They all nodded repeatedly, as if pounding garlic, fearing Jiang Xu might change his mind.

In this world, 99% of things can be resolved with money.

As long as the interest is large enough.

On the spot, Jiang Xu revised their contracts to reflect the new profit-sharing ratio.

That afternoon, they immediately took a direct flight to Bay Province.

To ensure that the news wouldn’t leak, Jiang Xu also confiscated their mobile phones.

He even had them sign a confidentiality agreement.

Jiang Xu checked the group’s cash flow.

It was already at 7.2 billion.

The rapid growth was partly due to the recently concluded first League of Legends competition.

Throughout the event, the naming rights by various advertisers, and the popularity and traffic generated by the competition contributed to profits.

In total, they reached 850 million.

Fortunately, the overall champion was from our country, not allowing Little Hammer to snatch the victory.

However, Little Hammer’s team did take third place. Th.ê most uptod/at𝓮 n𝒐vels a/re published on n(0)velbj)n(.)c/o/m

Besides, six teams with potential were also signed.

The contracts were for ten years each.

Jiang Xu wasn’t like those unscrupulous bosses; he offered the teams decent pay.

Better than most jobs, with social security and housing fund contributions also made.

He also promised additional bonuses if they achieved good results in future competitions.

Currently, these six teams were mostly training.

Preparing for the next competition.

Looking at the group account’s cash balance,

Jiang Xu allocated 2.5 billion as special reserve funds.

It wouldn’t be long before it would be needed.

The rest he divided into three parts, totaling 1.2 billion.

He distributed it evenly across the company accounts of the chip factory, screen factory, and RF Chip Research Factory.

The most capital-intensive investments at present were these three.

To turn a loss into profit, an estimated additional investment of at least too billion was required.

A long road lay ahead.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, Jiang Xu left the company.

Tonight, Bai Xiaoya said she’d take him and An Nuonuo out for fermented raw food.

This delicacy was enjoyable once in a while.

Jiang Xu went directly to the restaurant.

An Nuonuo was driven over by Bai Xiaoya.

Ding-dong, Jiang Xu received a photo sent by Zhou Qingyue.

It was a selfie of her with a young man.

Accompanying text read: “Isn’t the man beside me handsome? He’s a local from Deep City, very wealthy, and he’s been pursuing me lately.”

Jiang Xu replied: “Oh.”

Seeing this response, Zhou Qingyue nearly exploded with anger.

She wanted to create a sense of crisis for Jiang Xu with this tactic.

Who could have imagined that Jiang Xu would be completely unfazed?

Zhou Qingyue ground her teeth in frustration.

Eventually, she sent another message: “He’s handsomer than you, kinder than you, wealthier than you, and most importantly, he treats me very well.”

Jiang Xu: “Let me know when you’re getting married, I’ll give a gift of one million.”

Zhou Qingyue:…

She was at her wit’s end.

I still can’t outplay Jiang Xu.

Zhou Qingyue, “I was just joking with you, it’s just a business partner. My heart is too small, it can only fit one person, you.”

Jiang Xu, “That just means you are narrow-minded.”

Seeing this reply, Zhou Qingyue got so angry that she almost smashed her phone.

Such a dog of a man, truly too dog-like.

Chatting with him, one always has to be prepared to be infuriated at any moment.

But soon Zhou Qingyue chuckled and muttered to herself, “The more you act like this, the more mesmerizing you become in my eyes.”

What one cannot have is always causing turmoil.

The door to the private room opened, and several youthful and beautiful girls came in.

Wu Mengmeng and Xia Xiaozhan had also arrived.

These two also got along well with Bai Xiaoya now.

The reason they got along well was that Wu Mengmeng and Xia Xiaozhan didn’t covet Bai Xiaoya’s wealth, nor did they fawn over her.

For someone like Bai Xiaoya, what she feared and hated the most was people befriending her for her money.

Jiang Xu looked at the two of them and laughed, “Still single to this day, do you want me to introduce you to some high-quality men from my company?”

“Sure,” Wu Mengmeng’s eyes lit up, “I only have one requirement, twenty centimeters.”

Xia Xiaozhan couldn’t help but cover her face, “I’m sorry, I don’t know her.”

Bai Xiaoya and An Nuonuo blushed at her audacious words.

Especially because Jiang Xu was there.

Otherwise, aside from An Nuonuo, the other girls could have really expanded on that topic.

Wu Mengmeng without fear, “What’s there to be embarrassed about? That’s just what I like.”

Jiang Xu, “I can’t help you with that. I can’t inspect everyone.”

Wu Mengmeng pouted, “So there you go, I’ll just stay single then. Besides, I’ve bought some toys from Taobao, I’ll make do with those.”

The other girls,”…”

Jiang Xu gave her a thumbs-up, “You live up to your name.”

Wu Mengmeng, “Huh?”

“Let’s stop talking about this and order our food,” Bai Xiaoya changed the subject.

If they continued, they’d need to pixelate the conversation.

An Nuonuo sat beside Jiang Xu, her face flushed red.

At most, she would say some things like that when alone with Jiang Xu.

Mostly it was Jiang Xu speaking and she just listened.

In a public place like this, with strangers around, she wouldn’t dare to utter a single word.

Bai Xiaoya, holding the menu, “Raw marinated shrimp, raw marinated king crab, mini lobsters, blood clams, oysters, salmon, flower crabs, and braised abalone sauce…let’s get three servings of these to start.

And bring two cases of beer, one chilled and one at room temperature.”

After the waiter took note, they left.

Bai Xiaoya rubbed her hands excitedly, “Today, none of you are allowed to leave standing, you must drink until you drop.”

Bai Xiaoya could completely let go of being a wealthy young lady with her guard down, no constraints, and be herself only when she was with them.

But that was only for a few more years.

Once she got married, it would be like sealing her heart with cement.

The beer was served first.

It was the kind that came in cans.

Jiang Xu gave An Nuonuo a room-temperature one.

“Come on, let’s down a can to start.”

Soon, the dishes were served.

These raw marinated dishes were pre-processed, with ninety-nine percent of the microbes killed.

Combined with mustard and white wine soaking, they were no problem to eat.

Jiang Xu tasted a raw marinated oyster.

It was very smooth and tender, and indeed delicious.

Plus, with the beer, it was really a treat.

But Jiang Xu had barely eaten a few bites when his phone rang.

It was a call from Mrs. Chen Yue.

“Mom, what’s up?”

“Son, there’s something… I’m not sure if I should tell you..”
