Chapter 493 - 493 An Nuonuo: I Was Wrong Brother 8’



April 29, 2011.

With all the formalities completed, JiangXu, accompanied by An Nuonuo and over a thousand antiques, took a chartered cruise ship back to Magic City. Aside from the crew needed for navigation and maintenance, everyone on board was part of their group.

JiangXu and An Nuonuo stood on the deck, taking in the sea’s enchantment. The sky above the sea was a profound blue, like a vast blue mirror.

Sunlight sprinkled on the sea surface, glittering as if countless gems were twinkling.

In the distance on the horizon, the sun rose slowly, turning the sea golden yellow, breathtakingly beautiful.

An Nuonuo couldn’t help but stretch out her arms, letting the sea breeze brush her face, her eyes slightly closed, “When the sea is windless, the waves are gentle and serene.”

Jiang Xu echoed from her side, “The blue sky, the blue water, the salty wind…” “And you, who are so astringent.” An Nuonuo added, then covered her mouth and giggled.

Jiang Xu gave her a glare, “Apologize, or tonight you’ll experience the terror of Kun’s Power Level Three!”

An Nuonuo quickly begged for mercy, “I’m sorry, I askfor Brother Xu’s forgiveness.”

It would take four and a half days to return to Magic City.

And out on the vast sea, there was no signal.

The only communication device that could be used was a satellite phone, but even its signal wasn’t particularly strong.

Two days later, they were halfway through their voyage.

Jiang Xu received a call from Ally.

As Ally had shown enough competence and demonstrated sufficient loyalty, Jiang Xu had promoted her to be the deputy director of the corporation, directly answering to him.

“Boss, starting from yesterday, a large number of malicious posts and comments smearing you and the corporation suddenly appeared on various platforms.”

“The most direct consequence it has led to is that the shares of two listed companies have fallen to different extents.”

Even using a cursory analysis, it was clear that this was surely an act from the Sangsang’s side.

It was a common tactic in the business world.

If a purchase failed,

they resorted to malicious smear campaigns and rumors, causing significant problems with sales, finance, and reputation of the company.

Then taking advantage of the plummeting stock prices, they would swoop in to buy at rock-bottom prices.

The most infamous examples were the previous Lotus Monosodium Glutamate and some others like it.

How much would it cost to get the platforms to take down this content?” Jiang Xu asked.? 5

“It’s quite high,” Ally said somewhat distressingly, “At least a hundred million to begin with.

And right now, on the internet, people are continuously smearing and fabricating rumors on all major platforms.

If we keep taking down and deleting comments, even ten billion might not be enough.”

Jiang Xu then asked, “How are our own media platforms doing now?” Afewmonths before, JiangXu had acquired several mid-sized media outlets and integrated them both online and offline.

He named it: Daily Headlines.

Ally replied, “It has officially launched, but since it hasn’t been long, we currently only have about fifty thousand daily active users.”

This scale was too small; it hardly made any difference from not having it. Seeing that Jiang Xu remained silent, Ally continued, “Boss, among the many slanderous and fabricated comments,

the most serious and preposterous claim is that you have secretly emigrated to Eagle Country and are planning to transfer your assets.

Photos of you and the lady boss in various places in Eagle Country have appeared all over the internet.

Right now, public opinion on the internet is overwhelmingly attacking you, labeling you as a traitor and a lackey.”

“Hmm,” JiangXu was unfazed, “I got it.”

Ally was astonished.

The boss was so incredibly calm.

Even with the crisis at hand, he was not the least bit anxious.

She admired him from the bottom of her heart.

But still, she couldn’t help but ask what they should do next.

Jiang Xu said, “Don’t worry about the public opinion; let it ferment on its own. “You only need to handle the various affairs of the group well, appease people’s hearts, and I’ll make the other decisions when I get back.”

Ally thought to herself that wouldn’t the group suffer huge losses like that?

But since the boss had said so, she didn’t dare to talk back and obediently agreed.

An Nuonuo had been listening by the side the whole time.

After the call ended, she then said, “Brother Xu, are you planning to let the netizens misunderstand again deeply, and then turn things around, making them feel guilty?”

Jiang Xu pinched her perky nose, “You’re really smart.”

Last time, they had already played this trick once, and the effect was super good.

Those netizens initially hurled fierce and filthy curses.

But when the truth was revealed, and a turnaround took place.

Those who had cursed fiercely immediately changed their tune.

This kind of ploy could be used over and over.

Because the internet never lacks fools.

Jiang Xu looked out the window.

It was already night.

The night sea outside was very terrifying, like a prehistoric beast capable of devouring everything.

Jiang Xu withdrew his gaze and looked at the beautiful woman before him,

“You’re not seasick anymore, are you?”

The first couple of days on the boat, An Nuonuo suffered quite a bit from seasickness and spent most of her time lying in bed.

“Hmm, I’m fine now,” An Nuonuo said with a gentle smile.

“Cough cough, it’s getting late.” Jiang Xu wrapped his arm around her slim waist, “Let’s rest, we’ll be busy when we get back.

Since you’re not seasick anymore, I’ll give you a workout session…”

An Nuonuo exclaimed, “Ah, no, save me-”

JiangXu chuckled, “Hehehe, where do you think you’re running off to.” Two and a half days later, they arrived at Magic City Port right on schedule.

Ally and several others were already waiting at the port for quite some time.

Apart from them, there were also quite a few people from the official side.

Before returning, Jiang Xu had already contacted the authorities in Magic City, saying he had a batch of antiques to donate.

This had to be reported in advance.

Otherwise, when your goods arrive at the port and are checked, they could slap you with the charge of smuggling antiques, and that would be the end of it.

Dozens of government officials and a large number of antique experts entered the cruise ship in an orderly fashion to inspect.

Jiang Xu was conversing with their leader, Deputy Director Liu, on the side.

Deputy Director Liu remarked with emotion, “Mr. Jiang is truly a rare conscientious businessman, having you is a fortune for all of us.”

It hadn’t been long since Jiang Xu’s last contribution.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xu made another big move, this time involving a major

case of smuggling thousands of antiques.

Jiang Xu said with a smile, “It’s nothing, I just happened to come across them

and happened to have the means, so I did what I could.”

He was speaking the truth.

After ail, Jiang Xu’s idols are entrepreneurs like Mr. Ren, Mr. Huo, and Mr. Zong

who serve the country and the people.

And when he initially undertook this task, he hadn’t thought about gaining anything for himself.

Deputy Director Liu looked at Jiang Xu with immense admiration, “What a shame, you already have a fiancee.

Otherwise, I would definitely have the nerve to propose a match for my daughter with you.”

Jiang Xu responded with a friendly smile.

About an hour later, the government workers and the multitude of antique experts had finished inventorying.

They reported to Deputy Director Liu.

Everything on the cruise ship was genuine.

Deputy Director Liu immediately became excited.

He clasped Jiang Xu’s hand, “I know you’ve encountered some difficulties lately, do you need the official side to step in?”
