Chapter 588: 588 Who in Their Right Mind Would Name Someone Like This?



Once An Nuonuo acted coquettishly, he was utterly helpless against it.

Looking at her shy yet expectant expression, Jiang Xu took a deep breath, “Alright, I’ll replenish your energy.”

This replenishment lasted for more than ten minutes.

An Nuonuo, who was originally low on energy, was instantly fully charged.

Her face flushed red, “Thank you, Brother, I’m going to cook now.”

She left Jiang Xu’s embrace and skipped towards the kitchen.

Watching her perfect silhouette, Jiang Xu’s heart was filled with boundless tenderness.

At that moment, his phone rang.

It was a number he didn’t recognize.

Jiang Xu’s eyes flickered as he chose to answer.

“Mr. Jiang, this is Mei Jiji.”

Every time he heard that name, Jiang Xu found it slightly hard to keep a straight face.

What kind of real person has such a name?

“What’s up?” Jiang Xu suppressed the strange thoughts in his mind and asked in a deep voice.

“It’s about time we started our clash, but conventional business warfare is too time-consuming and laborious. Why not try something simpler?”

“Oh?” Jiang Xu remained noncommittal, “Let’s hear it.”

“You and I, let’s have an offline boxing match—best two out of three rounds. Whoever loses pays the other twenty billion in cash or the equivalent in stocks on the spot.”

Jiang Xu was somewhat surprised.

Was this guy playing for such high stakes?

A twenty-billion bet on a single match.

However, he didn’t agree immediately.

Although he had learned boxing for a while and was physically stronger than the average person,

he didn’t know the full extent of Mei Jiji’s strength or capabilities.

Agreeing rashly wasn’t a wise move.

After some thought, Jiang Xu said, “I need to think about it. I’ll give you an answer tomorrow morning.”

“Alright, then I won’t disturb you further.”

After hanging up, Jiang Xu began to feel a headache coming on.

It really was one thing after another, so to speak, an endless stream of issues.

The Mei Family wasn’t truly interested in cooperating with him; they just harbored thoughts of using him.

Moreover, this cooperation couldn’t be discussed openly.

It had to be negotiated through riddles and hints.

The difficulty was already high.

And he had to be wary of the possibility of being stabbed in the back someday.

Forget it, let’s not think about these things for now. Let’s go out to eat.

After the meal, An Nuonuo spent an hour or so playing with An Ping.

Only when An Ping was tired and fell asleep did she hand him back to Li Yuanjuan.

Even though the child wasn’t born to Li Yuanjuan, her words and actions seemed to have essentially accepted the child.

When it was just the two of them at home, An Nuonuo brought some water for Jiang Xu to soak his feet.

Sitting down on a low stool and slightly lifting her head, she looked at Jiang Xu, “Brother Xu, let me massage your feet so you can relax.”

“Alright, thank you, my treasure.”

Jiang Xu closed his eyes and began to contemplate whether or not to agree to Mei Jiji’s proposal.

And what was the real intention behind Mei Jiji’s actions.

Was it to win money from him, or…

Suddenly, Jiang Xu opened his eyes, emitting a fierce gleam.

No, he wanted to give the money to him, or rather, he wanted him to help safeguard it!

After all, though the Mei Family appeared to be under the control of Mei Jiji’s father and uncle, in reality, they were also under someone else’s thumb.

Mei Jiji intended to use such a method to transfer a portion of the assets into his own hands.

This was the move in the open; behind the scenes, he would likely find the opportunity to sign a contract with him.

If things proceeded along this line of thought, then in the boxing match, he wouldn’t lose.

Jiang Xu replayed the scenario several times in his mind, feeling that the likelihood was very high, about eighty to ninety percent.

Since that was the case, he might as well agree to it.

Indeed, dealing with such a large family clan required a great deal of mental exertion.

He lowered his head slightly to look at An Nuonuo, who was diligently massaging his feet. Jiang Xu felt somewhat apologetic, “Nuonuo, thanks for your hard work. You didn’t seem to have enough to eat at dinner; let me get you something to eat.”

An Nuonuo immediately understood what he meant and bit her lip, shaking her head slightly, “No need, I’m not hungry… um…”

Jiang Xu: “No, you are hungry.”

An Nuonuo: “…”

The next day, Jiang Xu replied to Mei Jiji, setting the time for noon at twelve o’clock.

The location was on the rooftop of his own company.

And he demanded that Mei Jiji could bring no more than five bodyguards.

Mei Jiji agreed.

When he left home, An Nuonuo was still not awake.

Last night, she clearly wasn’t hungry, but Jiang Xu insisted on feeding her, causing the young lady to get a little temperamental for once.

Therefore, at two thirty in the middle of the night, she planned a surprise attack on Jiang Xu.

Of course, the result goes without saying.

After Jiang Xu gave her a thorough sorting out, she wouldn’t wake up until noon.

As for the matter of the boxing match, Jiang Xu did not tell An Nuonuo either, to spare her the worry.

Soon, he arrived at the company.

Jiang Xu dealt with some company business.

An important matter today was that Bai Xiaoya’s new company had begun operations.

Yes, she was following the same path as An Nuonuo.

She was creating a super IP of herself to generate brand impact.

Bai Xiaoya being a talented woman, coupled with her figure, appearance, and charisma, as well as her way with words—all were top-notch.

With the support of capital, she quickly gathered a certain level of popularity.

Once her venture was on the right track, Jiang Xu would be able to provide her with further support.

After all, he had so many artists under his wing to advertise for her, without even needing to pay them.

Having dealt with most matters at hand, the time had come for twelve o’clock.

Jiang Xu stood up, called five bodyguards, and headed to the rooftop.

Mei Jiji and his group had already arrived.

Before entering, they had been subjected to a thorough search to ensure they didn’t carry any sharp weapons.

Upon reaching the rooftop, Jiang Xu saw that among the bodyguards Mei Jiji brought, two of them had set up cameras, pointing right at him.

“What does this mean?”

Mei Jiji: “We are recording the entire process as evidence to prevent any backtracking.”

Jiang Xu nodded, “Okay, is the contract ready?”

Mei Jiji gestured with his eyes to one of the bodyguards.

The man approached Jiang Xu and took out two copies of a contract from a briefcase.

Jiang Xu picked it up and examined it closely.

The contract stipulated that if Mei Jiji lost, he would transfer one of the Mei Family’s publicly traded subsidiaries to Jiang Xu.

The total market value was around thirty billion.

Of course, there would definitely be inflation in that figure, and its real value would probably be around twenty billion.

If Jiang Xu lost, he would have to give Mei Jiji twenty billion in cash.

After Jiang Xu finished reading, he passed the contract to the two lawyers behind him for inspection.

While they were checking, Mei Jiji had already started to put on protective gear and also brought over a set for Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu chuckled, “Have you learned boxing?”

“Of course,” Mei Jiji grinned and said, “I’ve even won championships before. You still have time to regret.”

Jiang Xu just shrugged, “That kind of goading won’t work on me.”

The lawyers behind him reviewed the contract several times to make sure there were no issues, and only then did Jiang Xu put on protective gear: “Come on.”

“Wait!” Mei Jiji shouted, “How about we add a little extra to the deal?”
