Chapter 893: Chapter 893: Won’t Nuonuo Get Jealous?
The private room’s door was opened, and a man in his twenties with a clean and refreshing appearance walked in.
Zhou Qingyue rose to greet him,
her face breaking into a girlish smile, “You’re here, come in quickly.”
The young man nodded, then greeted everyone present, “Hello everyone, my name is Pan Zhoudan.”
Zhou Qingyue followed up, saying, “Let me introduce him solemnly, this is my boyfriend, who is currently a graduate student.”
Having said that, she looked at Pan Zhoudan with deep affection,
who looked back at Zhou Qingyue with equal tenderness.
“Wow!” exclaimed Bai Xiaoya, “You’ve finally started dating, congratulations, the young man is quite handsome.”
Pan Zhoudan scratched his head, saying with embarrassment, “I’m quite introverted and not very good at talking, so please pardon me if I offend anyone.”
Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo were also surprised that Zhou Qingyue would choose such a boyfriend,
who seemed to be an ordinary person.
But the first impression he gave was quite nice.
No one in the private room looked down on him or anything like that.
They were all young people, chatting merrily.
After the meal, Zhou Qingyue took the lead in taking Pan Zhoudan away, “He came specially to accompany me, he has to return to school tomorrow, I’ll take him back.”
“Yo yo yo,” teased Bai Xiaoya, “You’re sweet on your boyfriend.”
Zhou Qingyue smiled shyly.
Although the two showed no physical affection, they seemed to be a loving couple.
Another member of this small group had shed her single status.
“Goodbye.”
“Everyone, goodbye.”
Zhou Qingyue and Pan Zhoudan left the room side by side.
Once they entered the elevator, the smile vanished from Zhou Qingyue’s face.
She took out a stack of money wrapped in newspaper from her bag and handed it to Pan Zhoudan, “You worked hard today, you can go back now, and you must not mention anything about this to anyone.”
A hint of disappointment flashed in Pan Zhoudan’s eyes, but he still took the money with a smile, “I understand.”
The elevator reached the basement level, and Pan Zhoudan left first.
Zhou Qingyue got into her car, sitting quietly, lost in thought.
After more than ten minutes, Zhou Mengmeng also came down.
She plopped down on the passenger seat.
Looking at the silent Zhou Qingyue, she said, “Sis, doing this…”
She was the only one who knew Zhou Qingyue’s romance was a sham,
purposely finding a college student with decent acting skills to put on a play in front of Jiang Xu.
Zhou Qingyue snapped back to reality, started the car, “Let’s go for a drive near the river, I’ll take you for a ride.”
Zhou Mengmeng said nothing more.
A thought flashed through Zhou Qingyue’s mind: this way, if there were any slip-ups in her interactions with him, she could use the excuse of having a boyfriend to brush it off.
That was Zhou Qingyue’s plan.
It’s truly challenging to love someone carefully.
But Zhou Qingyue had no regrets.
In a person’s lifetime, perhaps one only truly loves one person.
Some people say, aside from the one in their heart, the rest is just settling,
And I, don’t want to settle.
The riverside breeze was refreshing.
The weather was also gradually getting cooler.
Zhou Qingyue drove the sports car with the window down, gazing at the riverside scenery, her expression somewhat dreamy.
Zhou Mengmeng looked worriedly at Zhou Qingyue, afraid that she might have an accident if she wasn’t careful.
“Mengmeng, do you have someone you like?” Zhou Qingyue suddenly asked.
Zhou Mengmeng felt a little guilty, but she did not let it show on her face.
She shook her head, “No, I don’t want to date, I just want to be with you forever.”
Zhou Qingyue said, “We won’t have a happy ending together.”
Zhou Mengmeng said nothing.
Seeing her cousin joking around, Zhou Mengmeng knew she wasn’t in any serious trouble.

The next morning at ten o’clock, Jiang Xu arrived on time at the Magic City official office and met with that ‘elder.’
He wanted to purchase some high-end warships, complete with all the accessories.
He also wanted to buy fighter jets and the like.
After much thought, it still seemed safest to buy from his own country.
Jiang Xu didn’t leave the meeting until after five in the afternoon.
Jiang Xu did not keep many secrets from the ‘elder’; he told him everything he could.
This was actually quite common for entrepreneurs working abroad.
The ‘elder’ did not object, either.
In the end, Jiang Xu agreed to buy five warships and six fighter jets for the price of twelve billion.
Some weapons were included as gifts.
And when the time came, specialists would be sent over for training.
There would also be permanent technical staff responsible for daily maintenance and repairs.
Of course, Jiang Xu would have to pay for that part himself.
Still, Jiang Xu was very satisfied.
With these things, the safety level of Agricultural Country soared immediately.
Following that, Jiang Xu went to see Li Yuhui.
From Li Yuhui, he learned that the first phase of the drone development was completed.
Yanping had also produced one.
Jiang Xu tried it out, and whether it was sensitivity, load capacity, intelligence, or battery life, all were satisfactory.
He decided then and there to dispatch this batch of technicians to Agricultural Country.
To set up a drone production line there.
Investment in all aspects required money.
Jiang Xu felt that he was truly spending money like water now.
Fortunately, the chip profits were good, and Quku’s presence in other countries was beginning to take effect.
At the end of the year, Taobao would provide a substantial dividend, which could help out a bit.
Otherwise, by next year, Jiang Xu might have to start liquidating company shares to keep Agricultural Country’s development going.
He arrived home at almost eight o’clock.
Zhou Qingyue, Zhou Mengmeng, and Bai Xiaoya had come over.
Together, they had prepared a full table of dishes, looking after the baby while waiting for Jiang Xu to return.
“You haven’t eaten yet.” Jiang Xu was astonished. “Didn’t I tell you to eat first?”
“It’s okay, Brother Jiang.” Zhou Mengmeng smiled. “We didn’t do any physical work, so we’re not that hungry.”
“Yes,” Zhou Qingyue said, looking at Jiang Xu with a softness in her eyes, well concealed, “I’m leaving tomorrow, so let’s have one more meal together.”
“Alright, let’s eat, everyone.”
After dinner, Zhou Qingyue suddenly said to Jiang Xu, “I have something I want to talk to you about. Can we talk in your study?”
Jiang Xu was stunned for a moment, then nodded. “Sure, let’s go.”
The two of them walked into the study, one after the other.
Zhou Mengmeng blinked and turned to An Nuonuo, asking, “Nuonuo, aren’t you jealous?”
Zhou Mengmeng saw that An Nuonuo showed no reaction at all.
“Not at all.” An Nuonuo revealed a sweet smile.
Those two little dimples were mesmerizing.
“I trust her, and I trust your sister.”
Zhou Mengmeng felt An Nuonuo’s smile was blinding.
It was like a huge sun, searing her eyes.
As if it was going to expose all the slightly dark things she had done before.
Zhou Mengmeng couldn’t help but lower her head.
Feeling guilty.
After all, she had done many bad things in the past.
She definitely had to make it up to Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo when she had the chance.
