12 Chapter 12: Future Richest Man's Popularity +10

"Ah, Jiang Xu, you bastard!"

In her room, Zhou Qingyue was freaking out.

Jiang Xu hadn't paid her any attention for three days now.

Previously, Jiang Xu would bring her breakfast and lunch every day and take her home.

He used to send her a good morning message in the morning and a good night message in the evening.

He hadn't been doing any of that recently, and it distressed Zhou Qingyue.

After all, she had gotten used to Jiang Xu being unconditionally nice to her.

Moreover, ever since Jiang Xu started to fawn over her, Zhou Qingyue had been saving a lot of money.

She no longer had to pay for breakfast and lunch.

The money she saved could be used to buy things she liked, like small pieces of jewelry and more nice-looking clothes.

Now, she didn't dare to squander money recklessly.

Her family only gave her a hundred yuan a month, after all.

Zhou Qingyue blamed everything on Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo.

"Jiang Xu, wait! I wonder how long you'll play hard to get!"

The young girl still firmly believed it was all an act by Jiang Xu.

After all, he had been fawning over her too much before.

How could he have changed his mind in an instant?

"Alright, if you want to play, I'll play with you. Let's see who can't hold on first."

Zhou Qingyue made up her mind.

From then on, she refused to take the initiative to talk to Jiang Xu more than necessary.

She was curious as to how long he could withstand it.

...

Jiang Xu woke up late that day, past seven o'clock.

He read for a while and then went out to buy breakfast.

Before going to sleep the previous night, Jiang Xu had thought about the content of a story that he wanted to submit to a publication.

He decided to write about his experience of unrequited love.

It was a real-life experience, so writing about it would resonate with readers.

Since he had made a mental summary, the writing flowed easily.

By eight thirty, he had written two thousand words.

A thousand words per chapter.

He was ready to submit his manuscript.

He would first see if he could sign a contract and then consider what to do next.

The title of the novel was "Those Miserable Years of Youth".

He went to the post office to send it.

Then he went to look for An Nuonuo.

On the street, he bumped into a bald man.

Jiang Xu greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Uncle Wang."

"It's Jiang Xu. So, how did it go? Did you manage to woo that girl last night?"

"Not yet. Thank you for last night, Uncle Wang."

"There's no need for formalities. After all, it was your money. I just passed it along to the girl."

...

After chatting for a bit, they said goodbye.

Yes.

That was the tip money from the customers yesterday. It was actually from Jiang Xu.

Otherwise, An Nuonuo, being naive, would have really thought that there were customers who would give out tips in such a restaurant.

This wasn't some KTV or club.

She was cute in her innocence.

Last night, An Nuonuo had made a total of three hundred and sixty yuan.

She would probably be more generous when purchasing meals in the future.

Meanwhile, on Jiang Xu's way to An Nuonuo's house.

She had already wrapped up the housework.

"Mom and Dad, this is the money I've earned from working these past couple of days. I'll keep sixty yuan, and you can use the rest to pay off the debts."

An Nuonuo's father had a stable income of one thousand six hundred yuan per month.

Including her mother's income, they made a bit over two thousand yuan per month.

Although they weren't particularly affluent, generally speaking, it was enough.

The reason they were struggling was that the family owed quite a bit of money.

Most of their income went to repaying the debt.

"Daughter, how come it's so much? Didn't you say it was only eighty yuan?" asked Li Yuanjuan.

They were aware that An Nuonuo had taken up a job.

An Nuonuo answered, "The guests at the restaurant gave me tips."

Li Yuanjuan exchanged a glance with An Feng.

Their daughter lacked experience in society.

But they both had been in the society for over a decade or two.

So naturally, they understood.

How rich can the consumers of a restaurant really be?

How could they possibly receive two to three hundred yuan in tips in one night?

Eight out of ten, it must be Jiang Xu who paid out of his own pocket, right?

The couple did not share this speculation with An Nuonuo.

They just silently accepted this act of kindness.

Their fondness for Jiang Xu had increased another level.

Favorability of the future richest man +10.

This young man's EQ was very high, and he seemed very experienced in handling matters.

In helping others, he always considered the dignity of the other party first.

Not many adults possess this kind of subtly influential manner.

"Nuonuo, I am here."

The voice of Jiang Xu sounded from outside the house.

A smile unconsciously appeared on the girlish face.

An Feng and Li Yuanjuan clearly understood.

However, they did not stop her.

"Mom, Dad, I'm leaving first."

Speaking, An Nuonuo picked up the lunch box on the table and went out.

Li Yuanjuan reminded from behind, "Daughter, be careful."

"Oh, I know."

Li Yuanjuan shook her head, "She doesn't know."

Today, An Nuonuo was wearing a sporty outfit.

It was a set that she had worn for many years, and some parts had faded.

However.

The youthful aura that began to exude from the girl.

Clothes could not hide.

"Good morning, Jiang, this is the breakfast I made. Try it and see if it tastes good?"

An Nuonuo handed out the food box with both hands, her eyes filled with hope and unease.

The girl seemed more cheerful than a few days ago.

Jiang Xu's eyes brightened: "You made it, I'm definitely going to try it."

Opening the food box, a delicious aroma emerged.

Fried dough sticks and steamed buns.

They looked quite appealing.

"Did it take a long time to make this?" asked Jiang Xu as he took a bite of the fried dough stick.

"Not really."

An Nuonuo didn't tell Jiang Xu that she'd been up since five-thirty.

Purchasing all kinds of ingredients, entirely on her own.

She didn't have much money on hand; the only way she could repay Jiang Xu was through her craftsmanship.

"Is it tasty?" An Nuonuo asked again.

She didn't know whether what she made would suit Jiang Xu's taste buds.

"Hmm." Jiang Xu sighed, "I wish I hadn't eaten your breakfast."

An Nuonuo's face turned pale.

She forced a smile: "I'm not very good at cooking, sorry."

"What are you talking about." Jiang Xu laughed, "I mean, the breakfast you made tastes so good.

Having eaten this, I don't want to have breakfast outside anymore."

One sentence.

Brought An Nuonuo back from hell.

Her spirit uplifted instantly.

A dazzling smile bloomed on her face.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew.

Lifting An Nuonuo's thick bangs up.

Revealing an extremely beautiful face that could topple all living beings.

All of Jiang Xu's attention, was drawn to the girl at this moment.

At this moment, it felt like an eternity, eternally cemented in place.

An Nuonuo felt a bit overwhelmed by Jiang Xu's gaze, and weakly said, "Jiang, don't look at me like that."

Jiang Xu came back to his senses, laughed, and continued to eat.

"You eat too." Jiang Xu handed a fried dough stick to An Nuonuo.

An Nuonuo shook her head: "I've eaten, I'm full."

Jiang Xu: "No, you're not."

In front of an slightly domineering Jiang Xu, An Nuonuo could only obediently open her mouth.

At this moment.

A shrill voice came from behind the two of them.

"What are you two doing?!"
