Chapter 748: 748: Sending Wedding Invitations
“Sure.” Jiang Xu clinked glasses with her and drank the remaining half of the wine in his glass.
“Miss Liu, is there anything else?”
After the toast, Liu Ruyan did not leave immediately but still stood in front of Jiang Xu.
“Yes.” Liu Ruyan nodded slightly, “Would it be convenient for Mr. Jiang to step aside to talk?”
“Certainly.”
The two moved to a position by the window.
Jiang Xu quietly observed the woman in front of him, who had a very sophisticated face and short hair.
Liu Ruyan spoke calmly, “I come from the Liu family of Qingcheng, a side branch.”
“Oh?” Jiang Xu was somewhat surprised, “I didn’t pick up a Qingcheng accent from you.”
Moreover, Liu Ruyan did not possess the typical traits of Qingcheng girls.
Jiang Xu knew of the Qingcheng Liu family.
It was a wealthy household that had been established for several hundred years.
Even as a side branch, their status in the outside world was very high.
Liu Ruyan continued, “Not long ago, my family planned to arrange a marriage for me, but I refused and ran away.”
“I hope Mr. Jiang can offer me protection.”
Jiang Xu looked her up and down, “I have no grudges with the Liu family, so offering you protection is a bit inappropriate.”
His implication was that it would require extra money.
Liu Ruyan said, “If Mr. Jiang is willing to protect me, I can work for Nuomi Entertainment without pay for the next five years.”
“As long as it doesn’t involve activities against my personal wishes, such as accompanying in drinking or sleeping, I can accept it.”
Jiang Xu’s gaze flickered.
Working for free for five years.
Liu Ruyan was quite competitive in various aspects, not inferior to Zhou Qingyue.
Furthermore, her cold and aloof demeanor also made her distinctly recognizable.
Since Zhou Qingyue had left, Jiang Xu had not yet found a true replacement.
If judged by external conditions, Liu Ruyan had the potential and ability to replace Zhou Qingyue.
Jiang Xu might not be a ruthless capitalist,
but if someone was willing to work for free, he certainly wouldn’t refuse.
However, Jiang Xu did not immediately respond to her.
Instead, he went to the side to make a phone call.
After about ten minutes, Jiang Xu approached Liu Ruyan again.
“I just called the person in charge of your family and told them, I’ve recognized you as my sworn brother.”
“From now on, no one can force you to do anything you’re unwilling to do anymore.”
Liu Ruyan, who habitually kept a stoic face, showed a rare sign of excitement.
She bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle to Jiang Xu, “Thank you!”
“Mmhmm.” Jiang Xu calmly accepted her gesture, “Externally, you can call me your sworn brother.”
“But remember, don’t use my name to do anything bad, or you know the consequences.”
Liu Ruyan straightened up and nodded, “Don’t worry, I absolutely won’t do anything to disgrace your name.”
One reason Jiang Xu agreed to help her was that An Nuonuo had spoken to him about Liu Ruyan before.
She had said that although this girl appeared cold, she was actually very nice.
Based on that, Jiang Xu decided to give her a chance.
Jiang Xu told Liu Ruyan to come to the company the next day to sign a contract.
The company now had an abundance of resources.
As long as Liu Ruyan made an effort, it wouldn’t be long before she became famous everywhere.
After the banquet ended, everyone returned home.
On the way, Jiang Xu told An Nuonuo about Liu Ruyan’s situation.
“She indeed comes from a wealthy family,” An Nuonuo blinked, “She’s also quite courageous, daring to confront the wealthy family.”
From what she knew, many girls from wealthy families were actually just raised to be married off.
Like commodities, they had no control over their own fates.
For Liu Ruyan to break free using her own strength was very commendable.
Upon arriving home, the two washed up and went to sleep.
The next day, Chen Yue and Jiang Shan came over early in the morning.
Chen Yue was holding the child, while Jiang Shan was placing a large bundle of invitations on the table.
Jiang Xu said to her, “It’s time to start preparing the invitations. Write down how many people you are inviting now, and then distribute them.”
There were only two months left until the wedding.
Many things needed to be prepared in advance.
A hint of shyness and anticipation flashed in An Nuonuo’s eyes.
The day was getting closer.
In two more months, she could become Jiang Xu’s true wife.
She could spend her lifetime with him.
She could have children for him.
She could call his parents Mom and Dad.
Even after death, they could be buried together.
The thought made her very happy and full of anticipation.
Jiang Xu sat down and began to write the invitations.
As for friends, actually, there weren’t many.
Just a few close ones.
In the company, just inviting some of the executives would be enough.
But in the business world, there were many to invite.
Anyone with whom they had business dealings definitely needed to be invited.
Jiang Xu had been writing from morning until noon at twelve o’clock before he finished.
He still needed to check one more time to see if he had missed anyone.
In the afternoon, he personally delivered these invitations.
For those in other cities, he flew them over by helicopter.
Just delivering the invitations took Jiang Xu three days.
By the morning of the fourth day, he had returned to Magic City.
As soon as he returned to Magic City, Jiang Xu received a quite sensational piece of news.
The Fruit phone had completely flopped in the domestic market and had withdrawn from the market as of yesterday.
In the past month, the Fruit phone had invested tens of billions of yuan in the domestic market.
Ultimately, this money could be said to be completely lost.
They were utterly defeated by Mei Zhu phones.
After this event, it was likely that Fruit phone would never think of entering the domestic market again in its lifetime.
Jiang Xu smiled to himself.
The next step was to launch a full counterattack.
This could actually be done together with taking Kuaiyin international.
When promoting Mei Zhu phones abroad, the phones could come pre-installed with Kuaiyin.
Back at the company, Jiang Xu, who hadn’t even had time for breakfast, called Ally over.
“Boss,” Avi pushed the door and entered.
Avi was becoming more beautiful and in better shape.
“Avi, I have a major task for you,” Jiang Xu said with a serious expression.
“If you can complete it successfully, I’ll give you ten billion yuan in after-tax bonuses.”
Avi was greatly surprised, “Please tell me, boss.”
A ten billion yuan after-tax bonus meant the task must be very challenging.
“I want you to promote Mei Zhu phones to every country in the world within two years.”
“In developed countries, the market share must be at least twenty percent.”
“In economically average countries, the market share must be at least thirty percent.”
“If you can achieve this, when you come back, besides the ten billion yuan after-tax bonus, there will also be a position as vice president of the group for you.”
“The difficulty is proportional to the reward; it depends on whether you dare to take it.”
He had originally planned to send his sister Ally.
But considering that Ally had already become Jiang Xu’s indispensable right hand, often needed for many tasks,
he decided to send his brother Avi instead.
Originally, Avi was in charge of the entertainment business.
However, his personal capabilities had not been fully released.
Among the many candidates, Avi was the most suitable one after Jiang Xu’s comprehensive consideration.
