Chapter 605: An Nuonuo’s Thoughts
Early in the morning, the wind on the island was quite strong, bringing with it bursts of salty and damp air.
After Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo finished breakfast, they would take a stroll around before starting their day’s work.
Ten days had already passed since they arrived at Spirit Turtle Island.
The changes on the island were earth-shaking.
Cement roads appeared one after another, and some buildings now had their rudimentary shapes.
At this pace, it would take at most another half a month for a small portion of the buildings to be completed.
The reason for such swift progress was the implementation of a three-shift system, with workers rotating around the clock every 24 hours.
With sufficient materials and adequate pay, the workers were highly motivated, naturally resulting in a very fast pace.
The island now had a certain scale to it.
At the very least, two beaches had already been formed.
“Ah, I really want to bring my parents, uncles, and aunts over,” An Nuonuo said, spreading her arms wide and letting the sea breeze blow through her body and hair tips.
Gazing into the distance, Jiang Xu spoke with a hint of emotion, “Aside from its poor geographical location and barrenness, this place has no other shortcomings.
If possible, I would actually like to make this a place for our family to retire.”
Once the place was completely built and well-managed, it wouldn’t be too different from an earthly paradise.
“I feel the same way,” An Nuonuo said excitedly, “But if that’s the case, shouldn’t we designate an area for growing some crops or something?”
What An Nuonuo said indeed reminded Jiang Xu.
They hadn’t planned for that aspect.
As a nation with thousands of years of agricultural history, farming was almost rooted in the genes of every citizen.
Even those who had emigrated overseas couldn’t help but plant something whenever they saw land.
If they planned to use this place as a retirement spot in the future, then it was necessary to set aside an area for cultivation.
The main thing was to be prepared for a rainy day.
In case of any emergency, such as a super-strong, long-lasting typhoon that prevented boats from reaching the island, they wouldn’t run out of food.
Talking about serious matters, the two of them became enthusiastic.
They no longer felt like taking a walk and immediately returned to the temporary office area to start replanning.
Since the island wasn’t particularly large, after discussing it, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo decided to allocate an area of 300,000 square meters to build five 20-story buildings.
They planned to do indoor farming.
Time flew by.
Before they knew it, 25 days had passed since they came to Spirit Turtle Island.
There were massive changes to the entire island.
All the roads had been completed, and many plants had been planted on both sides.
Some of the lower buildings were already finished.
If one looked down from the sky, one could see the rise of a newly scaled, neatly planned small city.
If Lifuzhen were to see Spirit Turtle Island now, who knows whether she would regret.
In the evening, Jiang Xu treated everyone to a meal.
Because tomorrow, he was going to take An Nuonuo back to Magic City.
The day after tomorrow was the final showdown of the School Beauty Contest.
After rounds of selection from four regions, only a little over 260 people had made it to the finals.
If one could make it into the top ten, that would truly be one in ten million.
An Nuonuo was packing her things.
Jiang Xu noticed her mood was somewhat low.
He walked over and hugged her from behind, “What’s wrong, can’t bear to leave?”
“Mm,” An Nuonuo said softly, “To watch with my own eyes this barren island turn into something this beautiful, I really can’t bear to leave.”
“Don’t worry, the next time we come, it’ll be even more beautiful,” Jiang Xu comforted her.
“Brother Xu,” An Nuonuo suddenly thought of something, turned to look at Jiang Xu, her eyes bright with excitement, “We can bring the company’s crew over here to shoot our films.
First, the scenery here is beautiful, and the locations would look great on camera.
Second, having the crew here would boost consumption in terms of food, clothing, and necessities.
Third, if by any chance, one of the films becomes a huge hit, there’s a high probability that the scenes from the film could become popular and attract lots of tourists.”
“My little treasure, you really have a brain,” Jiang Xu pinched An Nuonuo’s delicate and adorable nose, “Not bad, not bad at all, that’s a great idea.”
There had been many similar cases in the past.
When a certain TV series became popular, swarms of people would flock to the filming locations to take photos, boosting local tourism.
Jiang Xu had great confidence in the capability of his film company. Out of ten productions, at least one was bound to become a huge hit, and the rest wouldn’t be too far off the mark.
Praised by Jiang Xu, An Nuonuo’s eyes curved into crescent moons with a smile.
Had she just helped her fiancé out again?
Being able to assist Jiang Xu, even just a little bit, made her incredibly happy and content.
Because of this, the slight reluctance she felt about leaving all but dissipated.
The next day, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo set off to return to Magic City.
The journey was smooth sailing, and they reached Magic City without any issues.
At the airport, posters for the “School Beauty Contest” were visible everywhere.
The top contestants from various regions were plastered all over the walls.
Of course, this included An Nuonuo.
There were many men taking photos and even posing for pictures under these posters.
For super popular contestants like An Nuonuo and Chu Youwei, people even had to queue for a photo with their posters.
“This is too exaggerated,” An Nuonuo muttered under her breath, pulling her face mask up a little.
“Haha,” Jiang Xu laughed, “What can I do? My wife is just too charming.”
To avoid being discovered by these enthusiastic fans, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo quickly made their way out.
As soon as they got into the car, Jiang Xu received a message from Lifuzhen.
A month had passed.
The young members of the Li Family had already arrived in Magic City.
Jiang Xu replied to her and then told An Nuonuo, “I’ve got some stuff to take care of, you go ahead home.”
“Okay, I’ll make you some late-night snacks~” An Nuonuo didn’t ask Jiang Xu what he had to do but focused on what she could do for him.
The car took a detour to a certain club in Magic City.
Jiang Xu got out of the car, and a group of bodyguards spread out, following him.
Upon entering the club, the staff immediately greeted him with enthusiasm.
“Hello, sir, do you have a reservation?”
Jiang Xu replied, “No, I need room 308.”
The young people from the Li Family were in 307, according to the message from Lifuzhen.
“Right this way, please~”
Soon, Jiang Xu was led to room 308.
A group of elegant women, dressed very fashionably, soon followed him into the room.
The manager personally came over because she recognized Jiang Xu.
She thought to herself how he portrayed himself as dedicated and affectionate in public, yet here he was, sneaking into such a place.
Ah, men.
“Esteemed guest, which ladies would you like?”
Jiang Xu glanced over, “Keep all of them, and bring up the most luxurious drink package you have.”
“Certainly, sir.” The manager was overjoyed, as this one order would bring in at least a million.
Jiang Xu’s choice to keep the ladies was naturally to reward his bodyguards; he had no interest in them himself.
