Chapter 633: 633 You Were Born with the Aura of a Maid
There was even a grand signing ceremony.
Apart from Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo, Chu Youwei and Bai Xiaoya also joined the cast.
Chu Youwei got the role of the second female lead, with a remuneration of fifty million.
Bai Xiaoya, on the other hand, got the role of a… maid, and her remuneration… five million.
This really pissed Bai Xiaoya off, “Why is everyone else a male lead, female lead, or second female role, while I’m the only one playing a maid?”
Jiang Xu, “Maybe you were just born with the aura of a maid?”
Bai Xiaoya, “Read and blocked.”
The heat surrounding Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo was already on the rise, and now with this promotion, they climbed yet another step.
Many movie and TV stars were feeling quite suffocated.
All the attention was grabbed by you two, what about us?
However, it must be said that the rise to fame of Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo was beneficial for the aesthetics of the entire youth population.
In the previous life around this time, the cold wave was prevalent.
Those effeminate artists distorted domestic aesthetics.
Normal masculine men were instead looked down upon.
It was the same with females, who took pride in a distorted standard of white, young, and skinny.
But now, under the leadership of Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo, the events of the previous life didn’t happen.
The cold wave was nipped in the bud even before it could rise.
Just from this point of view, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo could be considered as having performed immense good deeds.
After the signing ceremony ended, the crew was officially formed.
At this time, Jiang Xu received a phone call, said a word to An Nuonuo, and hurriedly left.
He was going on a business trip for a while.
Although he couldn’t participate in filming for the time being, the crew could start shooting other scenes first.
This drama, adapted from the real love story of the two, contained not only romance but also family and friendship elements.
Two days later, Jiang Xu and a group of bodyguards landed at an airport thousands of kilometers away in another country.
After waiting a few hours, a group led by Liu Dahai appeared.
When they saw Jiang Xu, they were stunned.
Then, they swiftly ran over.
“Boss, what brings you here?”
Jiang Xu spread his arms and gave Liu Dahai a big hug, “Of course, I’m here to pick you up. Welcome back, my meritorious fellows.”
Liu Dahai had called two days before, right after Jiang Xu finished the signing ceremony.
He had completed his mission.
He had successfully gathered sufficient evidence.
Together with what Jiang Xu obtained last time from that woman in black, it was enough to resolve the current issue.
The reason Liu Dahai and his team were able to get evidence so quickly was due to risking their lives and a little bit of luck.
As they ‘fought life and death’ out there, naturally, Jiang Xu had to personally come to greet them.
This instilled in Liu Dahai and the others a sense of dying for a worthy cause.
Then, on the spot, Jiang Xu fulfilled his promise. He gave Liu Dahai a check for one hundred million, and thirty million for everyone else.
When they were overwhelmed with excitement and almost ready to kneel and call him “Daddy”, Jiang Xu gestured grandly, “Let’s go, back to the country, there are surprises waiting for you.”
Jiang Xu had pre-booked a plane back to the country when he came, with perfect timing, no need to wait.
On the plane, Liu Dahai handed over a new smartphone that had never been connected to the internet to Jiang Xu.
The evidence was stored inside it.
After reviewing it, Jiang Xu nodded, patted Liu Dahai on the shoulder, “Dahai, you’ve done well, keep it up.
I promise you, within five years, I’ll give you a listed company worth no less than one billion in market value, with all the stocks belonging to you alone.”
Jiang Xu was very satisfied with Liu Dahai’s abilities, efficiency, and loyalty.
He didn’t mind giving him a little extra benefit to tie him closely to his side.
Liu Dahai was so excited he didn’t know what to say.
From his eyes, Jiang Xu could tell that even now if he asked Liu Dahai to please him, he guessed Liu Dahai would be eager to oblige…
At ten o’clock in the evening, the plane landed on time.
Only after smoothly getting out of the airport did Jiang Xu breathe a sigh of relief.
He truly worried that there might be some accidents along the way.
Now that he was firmly on the ground, he could finally relax completely.
Outside the airport, ten Rolls-Royces were waiting already.
Jiang Xu arranged for their transport with the highest standard, making each of them feel flattered and overwhelmed.
They went straight to the top floor of a certain club.
Once at the top floor, Jiang Xu said in a deep voice, “Brothers, the matter is not completely finished yet.
So, starting now and for possibly the next one or two months, you won’t be able to contact the outside world.
All the mobile phones and communication devices on you will be confiscated, and you can’t leave this floor.
However, you’re free to consume all kinds of materials and women as you wish; I’ll foot the bill for everything.
Also, you’ll receive an additional allowance of fifty thousand a day.”
It was such a good deal that no one would refuse. They all wished Jiang Xu would keep them locked up for ten or eight years.
After Jiang Xu had someone collect all their communication devices, he encouraged them with a few more words and left.
Liu Dahai was allowed to leave, but the others weren’t.
Before everything was completely settled, no word could be leaked.
Jiang Xu couldn’t take that risk.
Even though he held enough evidence in his hands to turn defeat into victory, Jiang Xu didn’t rush to make his move.
He would first help the Mei Family pull off the ‘Cicada Shedding Its Skin’ with their assets.
In the process, Jiang Xu could also profit handsomely.
With these matters handled, Jiang Xu returned home.
Although the villa’s lights were on, An Nuonuo wasn’t home.
She was at the crew now.
Shooting during the day, if she had time at night she would live stream or go out to eat hot pot and play games with a few girlfriends.
In short, she was living quite freely.
He hadn’t seen her for several days and missed her a bit.
Jiang Xu shook his head, feeling that he was becoming increasingly lovesick.
After freshening up, Jiang Xu lay down.
For the following period, Jiang Xu lived a very regular life.
The ‘School Hunk Competition’ remained his top priority.
The semi-finals had just ended, and the heat on the internet had already surpassed that of the ‘School Beauty’ finals.
As for the finals, they were naturally set to be held on Spirit Turtle Island.
Thanks to ‘School Hunk’, the fame of Spirit Turtle Island, a previously unknown island, spread in an instant.
Even though the construction of the entire island had just passed one-fifth of completion, many people were already planning to go there.
Jiang Xu was also stepping up the arrangements, covering the distance from land to the island.
He had to arrange for enough boats and continuously transport materials there.
Many media journalists moved by the news, which provided Spirit Turtle Island with a lot of traffic.
Besides that, to coordinate with the Mei Family’s ‘Cicada Shedding Its Skin,’ Jiang Xu stayed up late until three or four in the morning for several consecutive days before resting.
Then, he would get up again to work at seven the next morning.
He still had to find time to shoot and even carve out time to live stream, to maintain his fan base.
Under such high-intensity work, Jiang Xu unsurprisingly fell ill.
