Chapter 570: Chapter 570: One Thought Heaven, One Thought Hell

It took only two days to help Bai Xiaoya complete all sorts of preliminary preparations.

Jiang Xu provided people, money, location, traffic, and the platform.

With such full support, they quickly built the entire framework and officially began operations.

Of course, it was up to Bai Xiaoya herself to negotiate with customers and procure goods, as Jiang Xu could no longer offer any help.

However, with Bai Xiaoya’s abilities and Jiang Xu’s support, success would not take too long.

It was estimated that an IPO and subsequent listing could happen soon.

At that time, it was even possible for another woman to join the ranks of China’s billionaires.

At that point, the Bai Family would likely have regrets and, lowering their stance, would invite Bai Xiaoya back.

Jiang Xu could see the distant future, and such an event was almost certain to happen.

Additionally, Zhang Xiaofeng didn’t engage in any underhanded tactics but earnestly fulfilled the agreement as promised.

From this, it was evident that the group’s crisis was essentially resolved by ninety percent.

And the continuous benefits Zhang Xiaofeng obtained allowed Jiang Xu to have a share, accelerating his own growth.

The time came to Saturday.

Zhou Qingyue came home.

She had already told An Nuonuo two days prior that she would come over for a visit on Saturday.

“Boss, boss’s wife, hello.”

Zhou Qingyue entered and was very well-behaved, showing a significant change compared to the past.

Jiang Xu looked her over from head to toe: “What’s the matter, are you sick?”

Today, Zhou Qingyue’s attire had changed greatly along with her attitude.

In the past, her clothes and outfits were always very flamboyant and fashionable, but today she was dressed very simply.

She wore a pair of jeans that had faded from washing and a plain white shirt, and her face was not made up.

With such a significant change from head to toe, Jiang Xu would be blind not to notice.

“No, not at all,” Zhou Qingyue stuck out her tongue playfully and blurted out an excuse, “I just have a rural-themed TV series to shoot soon.

I’m trying to get into the feel for the role, so it’ll be easier to get into character when filming starts.”

So that was it. Jiang Xu nodded, not thinking much of it.

Then Zhou Qingyue lifted the black bag she held: “This is a cake from a tire store, it’s really delicious.

It’s always in such demand that I had to queue for a long time to get it.”

Jiang Xu waved his hand: “I don’t like sweets much, you two go ahead and eat.”

An Nuonuo pulled Zhou Qingyue to sit on the sofa.

Her eyes, as if they could speak, stared unblinkingly at the cake in Zhou Qingyue’s hand.

An Nuonuo had been previously scared off by Jiang Xu, who claimed that eating ice cream might affect fertility, and since then, she dared not touch it again.

Later, she thought to replace it with cake.

Although it wasn’t as joyous as when eating ice cream, it was still acceptable.

Jiang Xu didn’t join them, he just sat on the side, tapping away at his laptop, coding.

The progress of the big data project had now reached fifty percent.

The reason for such speed was because Jiang Xu had changed his strategy.

He had some of the less important work done by the company’s employees.

If this pace continued, the work could be completed by the end of the year, and it would go live.

Then, with the formidable power of big data, at the very least in the news industry, Jiang Xu would quickly become a mogul.

For a long time, there would be no threat that could emerge to challenge him within the country.

Zhou Qingyue opened the bag, inside was a black chocolate cake.

On top of it were a few little pandas made of chocolate, which were very cute.

An Nuonuo’s eyes lit up a little more.

Girls, after all, have little resistance to these cute things.

An Nuonuo, “It smells so good.”

“Right?” Zhou Qingyue’s face appeared slightly unnatural, but neither An Nuonuo nor Jiang Xu noticed.

Then she took out a small knife and cut the cake into small pieces.

She handed the largest piece to An Nuonuo with both hands, “Madam, try it and see how it tastes. If you like it, I’ll bring more next time.”

“Thank you,” An Nuonuo took the cake from Zhou Qingyue’s hands.

Instead of eating it immediately, she brought it to her nose for a sniff, “This scent is so unique, but it smells good, very fragrant.”

Zhou Qingyue swallowed nervously, her gaze unwaveringly fixed on An Nuonuo.

After sniffing the cake, An Nuonuo opened her pink little lips slightly and slowly brought the cake to her mouth bit by bit.

At this moment, An Nuonuo’s movements appeared to Zhou Qingyue as if they were slowed down a hundredfold.

Every breath felt like it lasted a century.

Zhou Qingyue was in agony, her heart also pounding fiercely.

A cold sweat broke out on her forehead in large quantities.

Just a little bit more, just a tiny bit more!

As long as An Nuonuo ate this piece of cake, it would mean the completion of her mission.

She would gain not only several billion in rewards, a green card but also the chance to enter an elite organization many vie desperately to join.

She could rise to the top in one leap, her future boundless and bright.

Even more, with the help of various resources and other people’s assistance, she could pursue Jiang Xu, the man she had long dreamt of.

She would take over his nest, seizing everything that belonged to An Nuonuo!

And the price she had to pay was merely the loss of a friendship with a rival like An Nuonuo.

She didn’t care, not in the least!

It was a good deal, a very good deal!

If it were anybody else, they would have made the same choice too.

She was not wrong; she had simply made a decision that anyone would make, no one could blame her!

Zhou Qingyue kept comforting herself in her mind, trying to reduce the guilt she felt inside.

However, the more she thought this, the stronger the sense of guilt became.

In the end, this intense sense of guilt, like floodwaters that had been accumulating for centuries, broke through the dam and surged forth, completely engulfing her.

At this moment, An Nuonuo’s lips were just o.oi millimeters away from the cake.

Within this o.oi millimeter distance, Zhou Qingyue finally could not bear it any longer.

She let out a scream, “Stop!”

With a slap of her palm, she knocked the cake out of An Nuonuo’s hands.

The cake hit the wall and then slowly slid down.

An Nuonuo was startled and stared at Zhou Qingyue, who had suddenly exploded, appearing somewhat at a loss.

Jiang Xu also turned his attention over, frowning, “Zhou Qingyue, what are you going crazy about? You’d better give me a reasonable explanation!”

“Plop!”

Facing Jiang Xu’s questioning, Zhou Qingyue did not say a word, but knelt down in front of An Nuonuo!
