Chapter 779: Chapter 779: What’s the Deal with That Strength?
“Boss, the acquisition of that technology company in Mei Country has been completed; it’s all yours now, total cost ten billion Mei Gold,”
“Got it,” Zhou Mengmeng said indifferently, “Next, carry out the C plan I set up last year—wash the Monkey Country’s stock market in blood.”
“Yes!”
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Mengmeng reverted to her silly and sweet appearance.
Two completely different temperaments, she changed them at will.
No one knew that Zhou Mengmeng was actually a highly rare super financial genius who appeared once a century.
At the age of thirteen, she had earned her first pot of gold through her understanding of finance.
Later, by using various means, she earned more than twenty billion in capital in the domestic stock market.
Then she set her sights on foreign stock markets.
Over the years, she had been raking in profits and had acquired more than a dozen very promising listed companies.
She was just very good at biding her time.
And she knew the situation of her family.
No one around her knew that she, just eighteen years old, had a net worth of over fifty billion already.
“Monkey Country stock market…” Zhou Mengmeng murmured to herself.
Since she was sixteen, she had already started laying out her plans there.
Two years’ time, and she had completely set up her game.
Now, it was time to reap the harvest.
Even though Monkey Country was not a developed nation.
But to sweep through it once would at least net her five to six billion.
Nobody would probably guess that a girl who looked silly and sweet was actually a financial behemoth.
————————
The morning of the third day of school’s start, Jiang Xiaoyan made a call.
Seeing her incoming call, Jiang Xu instinctively shuddered.
No way around it, the girl had left Jiang Xu with quite the psychological shadow last time.
In order to not reveal any flaws in front of An Nuonuo, Jiang Xu calmly pressed the answer key.
“Jiang Xu, lend me fifty billion.”
Jiang Xiaoyan didn’t waste words and went straight to her point.
“Hm?” Jiang Xu sat up straight, “What do you need that much money for?”
Jiang Xiaoyan lowered her voice, “My people have found someone’s going to stir up trouble in the Monkey Country stock market.”
“No one else seems to have noticed it yet. It’s a prime opportunity to make a big score. Are you in or not?”
Monkey Country, to the southeast of our own.
Its economy was average, but it was still viable for a scoop.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jiang Xu frowned, “Are you sure about this?”
Fifty billion was no small amount; he’d have to sell a lot of skins to earn that.
“There’s a seventy percent chance of making money. Are you in or not?”
Seventy percent – that was a high probability already.
Jiang Xu pondered for a moment before responding, “Okay, I’ll lend you fifty billion, and on top of that, I’ll put another twenty billion of my own in.”
Even if it was a total loss, it would still be within what Jiang Xu could bear.
Jiang Xiaoyan swiftly hung up the phone.
Excitement sparkled in her eyes.
With the fifty billion borrowed from Jiang Xu, plus the fifty billion in cash she had prepared herself, she was set to make a fortune.
Jiang Xu glanced at An Nuonuo, who was still sleeping.
He went to wash up first, preparing breakfast before calling her.
“Wife, time to get up,”
He called out several times, but there was no response.
Jiang Xu pinched her face, only to discover it was burning hot.
His expression changed.
He laid his hand on her forehead.
She had a high fever.
Frantically, he searched for fever-reducing medicine and lukewarm water, then managed to wake An Nuonuo.
“Hubby~ I feel terrible~” An Nuonuo’s voice was hoarse.
“You probably ate too much stuff that causes heatiness lately,” Jiang Xu said gravely, “Drink some water first, I’ll get you something to eat.”
It’s not good for the body to take medicine on an empty stomach.
After feeding An Nuonuo some bread, he then let her take the medicine.
“I don’t want to take medicine,” An Nuonuo shook her head. “I’ll just drink more hot water and sweat it out.”
Jiang Xu nodded, “That’s fine.”
Thirty-nine degrees, it’s not too serious.
Actually, taking antipyretics isn’t good for the body.
If it’s not too serious, like over forty degrees, drinking more warm water and sweating it out can make you better.
With his wife sick, Jiang Xu naturally wasn’t going anywhere but stayed at home to keep her company.
With nothing else to do, Jiang Xu decided to tidy up the books in the study.
Last time he was searching for materials, he had left the bookshelves in complete disarray without having a chance to organize them.
“Hmm?” Jiang Xu looked at the book in his hand and couldn’t help but show a puzzled expression.
It was a book on how to write good essays.
It wasn’t his, it was An Nuonuo’s.
He squeezed the book hard, feeling that something was off.
After examining it carefully, he found a hardly noticeable small notch near the cover.
He traced the notch with a knife and slit it open.
“Snap!”
A letter fell out.
Jiang Xu picked it up and unfolded it.
[Nuonuo, I don’t know if you’ll ever see this letter]
[We’ve known each other since elementary school]
[Even though you seem plain and unremarkable on the outside, not drawing attention]
[I know you’re a very gentle, very kind girl]
[I’m going to study abroad next semester, and I really don’t have the courage to hand you this letter in person]
[So I can only leave it to fate]
[If you find this letter, it will mean that we’re destined, and I will defy my parents’ wishes to stay behind]
——————From someone who forever holds you dear, Qiang Liu.
After reading the letter, Jiang Xu’s blood pressure skyrocketed.
It turned out there was someone who had his sights on An Nuonuo even before him.
He broke out in a cold sweat.
Thankfully, An Nuonuo hadn’t discovered the secret hidden in the book’s cover.
Otherwise, someone else might have beaten him to the punch.
After all, back then, nobody liked to play with Nuonuo, her grades were average, and she wasn’t attractive.
If someone started courting her and showing warmth, there was no way to resist that, okay?
Although this was all in the past.
Still, Jiang Xu wanted to find out who this ‘Qiang’ was.
But now clearly wasn’t the right time.
He would wait until An Nuonuo’s condition improved to ask.
Evening.
Jiang Xu looked at the thermometer in his hand.
The temperature had gone down and she wasn’t hot anymore.
“How do you feel now?” Jiang Xu asked.
“Hungry~” An Nuonuo looked at Jiang Xu with pitiful eyes.
She had only had bland food for breakfast and lunch, and now she was so hungry she could feel her stomach sticking to her back.
“Wait for me, I’ll make something for you to eat.”
Seeing Jiang Xu’s retreating figure, An Nuonuo showed a relieved smile.
Getting to know and love Jiang Xu and stepping into the hall of marriage with him was the biggest gain and achievement of her life.
In fact, An Nuonuo had long been prepared for the possibility of other women in Jiang Xu’s life.
After all, she wasn’t that naive girl anymore, the one who knew nothing.
She had already seen another side of society.
Which well-off man doesn’t have a variety of women by his side?
But Jiang Xu had never sought any other women from the beginning to the end.
This touched An Nuonuo deeply.
Half an hour later, Jiang Xu brought a bowl of egg and lean meat porridge.
Only after An Nuonuo had finished eating did he get ready to ask about that ‘Qiang’.
