Taking advantage of the beauty being poor, fooling her into being my girlfriend

Chapter 1013: Chapter 104 New Technological Breakthrough

Everyone welcomes guests in their own way.

Over the years, Jiang Xu had seen quite a few.

But explosive performances like Bai Xiaoya’s were indeed rare.

However, he did not stop Bai Xiaoya from performing her “welcoming ritual” on him.

It was only after Bai Xiaoya’s “welcoming ritual” was over that the two sat on the couch.

“How is it?” Jiang Xu gently stroked Bai Xiaoya’s smooth, long hair, “How have you been settling in these few days?”

“Pretty good,” Bai Xiaoya rested her head on Jiang Xu’s chest, “Basically, no one bothers me.

I clock in for work every day, go for breakfast, then do some stretching in the office, watch some films and dramas, and then casually think of you, and the day flies by.”

“Really?” Jiang Xu pretended to be angry, “Thinking of me is just an afterthought? You’re so bold!”

Bai Xiaoya snorted, “Yes, just an afterthought. What are you going to do, hit me? I agree to it, but the child in my belly won’t.”

It must be said that since becoming pregnant, Bai Xiaoya’s personality had undergone a significant change.

“Ah.” Bai Xiaoya, who had been all smiles, suddenly looked forlorn.

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Xu asked.

He did not quite understand why her mood had changed so suddenly.

Women, during pregnancy, tend to become extremely unstable emotionally.

Some, not strong enough inside, may even occasionally burst into tears and laughter.

“I feel a bit guilty towards Nuonuo,” Bai Xiaoya spoke in a low voice, “The enjoyment I have now, I’ve actually taken it stealthily from her.

I’ve dreamt about it on many nights.

Each time, it wakes me from sleep, covered in a cold sweat.

After all, Nuonuo is my best friend in this lifetime, yet I did such a thing behind her back.”

Her eyes were filled with self-reproach.

Jiang Xu fell silent.

Indeed, what they had done was wrong.

But many things cannot be changed by willpower or anything else, like the present situation.

Jiang Xu took a deep breath and said, “What’s done is done, and feeling guilty now is of no use.

But we can look at the positive side.

At the very least, you’re contributing another brother or sister for Nuonuo’s three kids.

If you really feel guilty, you can give more money, land, houses, and the like to those three kids at home in the future.”

“Mhm, I know,” Bai Xiaoya nodded lightly and then pushed him gently, “Okay, you’ve spent enough time here. Go to the other sisters.”

Jiang Xu liked how Bai Xiaoya knew when to advance and when to retreat and understood moderation.

She was not greedy.

Jiang Xu pinched her nose, “Alright, I’ll head over there first.”

He left directly through the hidden door of the office.

He spent about half an hour each with Chu Youwei, Zhou Qingyue, Zhou Mengmeng, and Jiang Xiaoyan in their respective offices before finally leaving from Bai Xiaoya’s office.

Running around like this every day, almost like fighting a war, was quite exhausting.

However, there was no choice in the matter. He had chosen this path, and no matter how hard or tiring, he had to keep going.

Besides, to be honest, this little bit of tiredness was nothing compared to the enjoyment he had received.

Just after Jiang Xu left the company and before he could get into his car, a phone call came in.

After hearing the content of the call, Jiang Xu was overjoyed.

He immediately found a secluded place to remove his disguise and called his subordinates to escort him to one of the most important research bases in Agricultural Country.

Hongxing Biotechnology Co., Ltd!

In the mere five years since its establishment, Jiang Xu had invested more than 300 billion in this company.

Of course, the investment, though frightening, was worth it.

The company had brought Jiang Xu far more substantial profits.

He had already surpassed 30 trillion!

A tenfold return on investment is an eye-catching figure in any part of the world.

This biotech research company had developed many products that were ahead of the world.

Nearly every product caused a global rush as soon as it hit the market.

Even in recent years, many top billionaires from other countries, or those who are something or another, tried all means to steal some technology or poach people from this company.

But they all failed.

The security inside and outside of this base was staggering.

Even a modern army of a hundred thousand soldiers, along with all sorts of planes and artillery, could not break through.

The safest places in the whole country were two.

One was the top research groups directly controlled by Jiang Xu, and the other was his own home.

And just now, the news Jiang Xu received was that the group had developed another technology that would excite the whole world.

It was also something he currently needed the most.

Jiang Xu hurried to the core area of this research base.

The technical director, who had been waiting for a long time, hurried to greet him.

Before he could say any pleasantries, Jiang Xu cut him off, “Don’t talk about those unnecessary things, quickly show me the product.”

“Of course,” the director did not dare to delay and immediately went to fetch the latest research result, humbly presenting it to Jiang Xu.

It was a glass bottle about two centimeters tall with the thickness of a pinky finger.

Inside was a bit of faint ink-colored liquid.

The technical director explained, “Mr. Jiang, this is the newest product we’ve developed after about two years of research.

We internally call it ‘Apex No. 1.’

The special feature of this product is that it doesn’t harm the human body at all.

Just apply it evenly over the, well, tip, and in about ten seconds, it will form a protective film.

Then, during, well, that, it can significantly prolong the duration.

Even those who, in a second… with this product, they can last about half an hour or so.

It can also be ingested without any harm.

In fact, ‘Apex No. 1’ even has the effect of inhibiting the growth of bacteria.”

Jiang Xu listened more and more amazed and excited.

This thing was practically a godsend for most men, including himself!

Jiang Xu asked, “How long does the protective film last? Can it be washed off with water?”

The technical director answered, “After a normal application, it can last around two hours.

It can’t be washed off with water, but it can be absorbed by the skin.

Moreover, after absorption, our clinical studies found that it also has a strengthening effect on, well, that.

However, this strengthening effect requires continuous daily application to become noticeable.”
