Plans can’t keep up with changes.
That morning, Jiang Xu was woken by the alarm clock.
But due to lack of sleep, he simply couldn’t get up.
He turned the alarm off haphazardly and continued to sleep.
By the time he woke up, it was already after ten.
There was a note left on the bedside table by An Nuonuo.
[I went to school, I’ll ask for leave for you. Remember to have breakfast when you wake up.]
Jiang Xu smacked his head somewhat annoyed.
All because of Lu Yi.
He had lost an opportunity to ‘pay tribute.’
He got up and dressed himself.
After washing up, he left the internet cafe.
Outside, there were breakfast shops everywhere.
After grabbing something to eat, Jiang Xu wandered around the vicinity of another school.
“For Sale: Prosperous Building…”
Jiang Xu stopped in his tracks.
He saw a long banner hanging from a building.
It was a hotel, and on normal days it did quite well business-wise.
Jiang Xu walked in and asked the staff member, “Is your boss around?”
“Yes, please wait a moment.”
Soon after, an elderly man in his sixties came out.
“Hello, sir, are you planning to sell this hotel?”
“That’s right,” the old man nodded. “My children have immigrated and want me to join them.
So, I can only sell this hotel.
If you are interested in buying it, I can give you a better price.”
Jiang Xu nodded, “I’ll take a look around first.”
The old man then showed Jiang Xu around.
The hotel was nine stories high.
It was clearly self-built.
The land area was more than two thousand square meters.
Each floor had twenty rooms.
The old man’s asking price was seven hundred million.
The average price was about thirty-eight thousand per square meter.
A little pricey.
Probably for this reason, it still hadn’t sold.
Jiang Xu’s eyes twinkled as he carefully pondered.
If he bought this hotel, he certainly wouldn’t lose out.
Even if he did nothing with it, it would appreciate in value later on.
But Jiang Xu had a better idea to make money from this hotel.
Therefore, he nodded, “All right, I’ll send someone over to sign the contract right away.”
He didn’t have enough funds on hand right now.
But it wasn’t a big problem.
He could borrow from An Nuonuo.
After all, she had plenty of cash.
The old man was somewhat surprised.
It was the first time he had seen such a straightforward buyer after all this time.
In the afternoon, all the paperwork was taken care of.
The hotel was officially transferred to Jiang Xu’s name.
An Nuonuo also came over.
She blinked her eyes, “Brother Xu, what are we going to do with this?”
Jiang Xu pinched her nose, “I plan to turn it into a couples’ private cinema.”
At the moment, not many people in the country were engaged in this business model.
For a couples’ private cinema, the most important aspects were the words
‘couples’ and ‘private.’
What movie was played wasn’t important.
The important thing was to give couples a private space.
So in terms of film sources, some old movies would suffice.
Not much cost was needed for this aspect.
As long as the decoration was handled, with the addition of a movie screen and some props that could increase intimacy,
it would be ready for business.
Jiang Xu had also looked into the local university, which had sixty to seventy thousand students.
It couldn’t compare to Magic University, so the learning atmosphere was also incomparable.
Many students were just marking time there.
This made it even easier for Jiang Xu to launch his business.
Once it opened, a bit of promotion was all it would take—business wouldn’t be
a worry.
He could even sell some alcoholic beverages for added safety… and such.
It would also be a decent source of income.
After hearing Jiang Xu’s explanation, An Nuonuo blushed again.
It’s hard to believe that she, already once breached in her defenses, could still be so easily embarrassed.
If it were someone else, Jiang Xu might think she was faking it, playing the “innocent maiden.”
But An Nuonuo wasn’t like that.
She was by nature a girl who blushed easily.
That was one of the reasons Jiang Xu liked her.
The construction team was still being coordinated with the help of Fu Yanjie.
Jiang Xu personally communicated with the construction team.
Once they had decided on the renovation style and materials, they picked an auspicious day to get started.
After the first store opened and the cash flow stabilized, Jiang Xu planned to open several more.
In the end, he would create a nationwide chain.
The busy days flew by quickly.
Without realizing it, Friday arrived.
Last time it was mentioned that Jiang Xu’s dorm and An Nuonuo’s dorm were planning a social gathering.
It was happening today.
Two cars were parked outside the school.
The inhabitants of the two dorms came out lugging big and small packages.
Jia Tengying and Jin Xiansheng were the most enthusiastic.
They were helping Xia Xiaozhan and Wu Mengmeng with this and that.
One moment they were offering snacks, the next they were asking if the girls wanted water.
Their way of chasing girls was rather basic.
Jiang Xu noticed that the expressions of the two girls were becoming slightly annoyed.
But out of politeness, they didn’t show it.
Those two clowns were completely oblivious.
They kept fussing over them without a clue.
Jiang Xu shook his head.
He couldn’t be bothered to intervene.
If you give advice, people may not appreciate it and might even resent you for it.
When they hit a wall head-on, they will understand.
The girls took Jiang Xu’s car.
The boys, however, took Fu Yanjie’s car.
This time, the meet-up was planned for the outskirts to the north of Magic City.
There was a special camping site there.
The tents were already purchased.
Ever since that time, Jiang Xu had been wanting to hold a farewell ceremony for An Nuonuo’s relatives.
But for various reasons, it had never happened.
This time, there surely wouldn’t be any unexpected mishaps, right?
Could there really be a torrential downpour or a typhoon on the day of the camping trip?
Jiang Xu had checked the weather forecast for the coming week.
The days were all clear and sunny.
A car full of girls, chirping and chattering away.
Just listening to their conversation was enough to make one’s mood brighten.
In Magic City, traffic gets pretty congested during the holidays.
It took a good two and a half hours to reach their destination.
By then, it was already past six in the evening.
After getting out of the car, the boys began to set up the tents.
The girls arranged the barbecue ingredients and snacks.
On Friday night, the place was quite crowded.
Jiang Xu had rented a spot.
Then, staff members came over.
They surrounded the spot with iron railings,
the kind with locks.
This way, they could increase security at night.
Once the tents were set up, everyone started barbecuing.
Xia Xiao He and Wu Mengmeng were performing, one singing and the other dancing.
Both were quite talented.
Jia Tengying and Jin Xiansheng watched almost drooling.
“Brother Xu, do you like to watch this kind of thing?” An Nuonuo suddenly asked quietly.
“Not at all,” Jiang Xu denied resolutely.
No normal man would admit to liking it at this moment.
Wouldn’t that be courting death?
“Oh, okay,” An Nuonuo nodded, “I thought if you liked it, I could also learn to dance.
Then I could dance just for you.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xu immediately took out his phone.
An Nuonuo, puzzled, asked, “What’s up?”
Jiang Xu replied, “I’m signing you up for dance classes right now.”
An Nuonuo:
