Taking advantage of the beauty being poor, fooling her into being my girlfriend

Chapter 735: Chapter 735 Unexpected Events

After nearly five hours of driving, they finally arrived at the destination for the shoot.

It was a place called Peach Blossom Village, located within the boundaries of Huicheng.

“Wow, it’s so beautiful.”

“The mountains are green, the water is clear, and the air is sweet.”

“Look, there are so many little fish and shrimp in the rice fields.”

The three girls arrived in the village and their eyes sparkled as they took in the scene before them.

Jiang Xu had already sent people to check out the village.

There were no signs of industrialization nearby.

The roads were decent, and the local customs were simple.

Many young people had also chosen to stay in their hometown to engage in agriculture.

Apart from them, the film crew had arrived two days earlier and had rented houses.

They were two sets of courtyards akin to traditional quad-style houses.

One set was for the few of them to live in, and the other was for the staff and bodyguards.

Jiang Xu looked around; the living environment was quite nice, and then he asked the bodyguards to start getting busy.

Beyond the essential security measures, surveillance equipment needed to be installed all around the houses as well.

“Is all this exaggeration really necessary?” Jiang Xiaoyan asked somewhat dismissively.

Zhou Qingyue immediately said, “You think they’re here to protect you? They are protecting his fiancée, don’t flatter yourself.”

Jiang Xiaoyan glared at her: “Shut it, it’s none of your business.”

Zhou Qingyue’s lips curved upwards.

She had found a way to deal with Jiang Xiaoyan.

From now on, she would start her counterattack; she couldn’t always let this woman bully her.

Jiang Xu, armed with gifts and several bodyguards, paid a visit to each family in the village.

First, to get familiar with the locals and build some goodwill.

This would make their shooting much easier in the coming days.

Second, he wanted to flex some muscle to discourage any undue thoughts from the villagers.

After all, the three girls were extraordinarily beautiful and rare sightings.

Even in a place with simple customs, there might be those with ill-intent.

Fortunately, Peach Blossom Village wasn’t large, with just over thirty households.

It took only about an hour to make a visit to each one.

In the end, Jiang Xu privately gathered the fifty female bodyguards he had brought along.

“I hope everyone takes this assignment seriously and ensures that the three protectees do not encounter any accidents.”

“After the task is completed, each person will receive an extra bonus of one hundred thousand yuan.”

“Of course, if anything happens to them, you won’t receive this money.”

When it came to security investments, Jiang Xu was always willing to spend generously.

He invested several billion each year in this area.

The fifty female bodyguards were all incredibly excited to hear this.

When you work for Nuomi Group, the least of your worries is money.

And allowances are even higher if you travel.

The more dangerous the place and the higher the difficulty of the mission, the more money you get.

As such, it was not uncommon for security department employees within the company to scramble for high-risk, high-difficulty assignments.

Because the Nuomi Group really did spend generously in this regard.

After giving them a goal to strive for and having a private word with An Nuonuo, Jiang Xu left.

An Nuonuo watched Jiang Xu’s car drive away, feeling a touch of melancholy.

She felt quite reluctant to see him go.

But An Nuonuo quickly gathered her emotions.

She would treat her time here as a vacation.

She also agreed that occasional separation can keep the freshness in a relationship.

When Jiang Xu returned home, it was already past eight in the evening.

He ate something in a rush, took a bath, and then went to sleep.

The next day, Jiang Xu was woken up by a phone call.

Jiang Xu always set his phone to silent mode when he slept.

But last night, he switched it back.

The main reason was his concern that if something happened to An Nuonuo late at night, he wanted to know immediately.

So it’s not that principles are 100% inflexible; they can always be broken for someone, for some reasons.

The call was from the princess of Ju Factory.

Jiang Xu rarely contacted her on usual days.

He quickly sat up.

If she was calling this early in the morning, it must be something important.

Could it be…

Thinking of a possibility, Jiang Xu’s heart couldn’t help but race, and he hastily pressed the answer button.

“Mr. Jiang, good morning, I’m sorry to disturb you so early.”

“No problem,” Jiang Xu’s throat was a bit dry: “Miss Meng, do you have something important?”

“Yes,” Meng Wanzhou said excitedly, “5G, it’s a success!”

Even though he was somewhat prepared, hearing it firsthand still made his head buzz.

5G…successful?!

It was developed four or five years earlier than in his previous life!

Although in this life, because Jiang Xu, as the ‘butterfly’, had flapped his wings, the direction of many things had changed.

Either they came earlier, or they changed altogether.

5G is definitely one of the biggest changes.

At this stage, the emergence of 5G would indeed be a super killer move.

Jiang Xu took a deep breath: “Miss Meng, I want to be the first to use it.”

Since 5G had rolled out earlier, his short video platform had to launch early as well.

At this moment, Jiang Xu couldn’t help but feel relieved.

Fortunately, he had been forward-thinking and had already developed the short video platform.

It had already gone through several internal updates and was ready to be launched at any moment.

Otherwise, with 5G coming out years ahead of schedule, it would have caught him off guard.

Meng Wanzhou laughed, “Sure, 5G was able to be launched so quickly in part thanks to Mr. Jiang’s strong support.”

Jiang Xu: “You’re too kind, I’m on my way to find you now, let’s talk in person.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up, Jiang Xu immediately arranged for a helicopter to be prepared.

After a simple wash-up and a quick breakfast, he left the house.

By 11:30, Jiang Xu, accompanied by several executives and attorneys from his company, arrived at the headquarters of the Ju Factory.

Meng Wanzhou personally came out to meet them.

The two parties talked continuously in the meeting room until six o’clock in the afternoon.

They confirmed dozens of collaborations.

This also included tests on 5G.

While Jiang Xu had great confidence in Ju Factory’s technology.

He still decided to test it himself.

It was indeed true 5G!

This development, as things stood, would benefit Jiang Xu the most.

Because with the advent of 5G, the short video industry would enter a boom phase.

In the previous life, in 2024, a certain video sharing platform was valued at a whopping eight hundred billion!

Although valuation and true worth have their differences, the gap wasn’t huge.

If it went public, even a single video sharing platform like this one could aim for a trillion-dollar unicorn status.

Of course, before that, there was a prerequisite, which was to lower net fees and increase bandwidth.

Jiang Xu had also discussed this with Meng Wanzhou earlier, asking her to negotiate with the officials.

It’s only by making data usage affordable for more people that further industrial growth could be promoted.

“By the way,” Jiang Xu looked at Meng Wanzhou: “There’s something I forgot to mention.”
