Chapter 601: Chapter 601 Who Can Compare with Her?

“`

The semifinals in Deep City had ended, but the buzz on the internet was still incredibly intense.

Many people were discussing which school beauty from the next three regions could replicate such success?

Under the guidance of the organizers, many posts appeared online calling for fundraising and voting for various school beauties.

Jiang Xu also made several posts on related topics to ride the trending wave.

At that moment, he was already on a high-speed train back to Magic City with An Nuonuo and a group of bodyguards.

Meanwhile, he had chartered two planes to make a detour via Little Hammer and head to Spirit Turtle Island.

For this island that belonged solely to him, Jiang Xu was eager to see it with his own eyes.

He was also taking the opportunity to bring some supplies there.

An Nuonuo, who heard they were going to Spirit Turtle Island, was excited but also a bit worried.

Jiang Xu knew what she was worried about and reassured her, “Don’t be scared. This time we brought a hundred bodyguards. It’s more than safe.”

In addition to the bodyguards, they also brought along some talents in construction, as well as experts in sailing and maintenance.

These technical personnel were personally selected by Liu Dahai, vetted one by one, ensuring there was not a single issue with any of them before bringing them over.

Furthermore, Jiang Xu had legally purchased five high-powered fishing boats that could hold twenty to thirty people each, through domestic channels.

There were also ten speedboats, among other parts and such.

In total, it cost over fifteen million.

In the future, once Spirit Turtle Island was fully equipped, the speedboats would take on the task of patrolling the island every day.

By then, they could also buy some large yachts for tourists to use.

Of course, the most important thing was that Jiang Xu planned to build a branch of his conglomerate on Spirit Turtle Island.

If possible in the future, he was even thinking of…

Forget it, those matters were too far off, and there was no need to consider them in the short term.

They reached Magic City in the evening.

After eating something and taking a bath at home, Jiang Xu fell asleep with the very tired An Nuonuo in his arms.

Their own chartered plane could leave whenever they wanted.

The next morning, Jiang Xu woke up before An Nuonuo.

Online, it was all about the School Beauty Contest.

In the top ten trending list, An Nuonuo occupied nine spots, and Zhou Qingyue one.

Of course, once the second semifinal in Qingcheng started at noon today, the heat would definitely diminish.

Online, many people were already posting, guessing how many votes Chu Youwei from Qingcheng could secure.

Would there also be a tycoon who would splurge?

Jiang Xu then checked on Bai Xiaoya and Wang Xiaoyuan.

The two of them had also made it to the finals.

Bai Xiaoya’s vote count was fixed at over three million seven hundred thousand.

Wang Xiaoyuan was at nine hundred and sixty thousand.

Upon opening Wang Xiaoyuan’s profile, there were quite a few comments below.

Jiang Xu laughed out loud as soon as he read them.

“This Sister Wang has a nice face and figure, but… why do I feel like she doesn’t look like a senior student?”

“’94 ’94, she seems to be at least twenty-six or seven, right?”

“Uh, maybe she just looks older?”

…

The eyes of the masses are bright.

Although Wang Xiaoyuan had put on makeup, having been in society for several years, she no longer had the air of a young girl.

It was clear that Wang Xiaoyuan also saw these comments.

She was so angry that she personally stepped in to argue with these people.

Wang Xiaoyuan: Just look closely, where do I look like I’m twenty-six or seven!

Wang Xiaoyuan: Are you being polite? Are you being polite!

Wang Xiaoyuan: You must be a competitor sent to smear me; I’m just over twenty!

Jiang Xu couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Over twenty wasn’t wrong, it’s just that the “over” part was stretched a bit longer.

It’s like our country’s ships, eighty-thousand-plus tons, with that “plus” being quite a few tons—it’s the same logic.

Afterwards, Jiang Xu dealt with some matters.

Most notably, “Tune Music” was preparing to go public.

Thanks to Jiang Xu’s initial efforts to purchase a large number of online streaming rights at extremely low prices,

Tune Music was well-founded from the start.

Tens of thousands of classic, evergreen songs were enough to sustain Tune Music for a very long time.

With subsequent strategies that gathered a host of young lyricists, composers, and young singers,

Tune Music’s effective song library had already surpassed one hundred and fifty thousand songs, and it had long since become profitable.

This subsidiary’s IPO could send Jiang Xu’s net worth skyrocketing by ten to twenty billion.

Jiang Xu was in high spirits.

Everything was developing in a positive direction.

Before long, An Nuonuo woke up as well.

After a tender moment, they washed up, had breakfast, and then packed their luggage, ready to set off.

Jiang Xu had also figured out the weather on Spirit Turtle Island.

Due to its geographical location, the island had fewer windy and rainy days compared to other islands – it was mostly sunny.

However, there were no buildings there yet, so they had to bring some tents over.

Two hours later, the two chartered planes took off.

Actually, the nearest route was through Little Hammer.

But since Jiang Xu had deeply offended Little Hammer’s father, he would be arrested immediately upon landing there.

So Jiang Xu first flew to Snake Country and then took a boat to Spirit Turtle Island.

“Wow, it’s so big, and the air is so fresh,”

Once on the island, An Nuonuo stretched her arms open, letting the sea breeze blow against her, her clothes fluttering loudly.

Jiang Xu hurriedly draped a coat over her.

The wind revealed her figure without reservation.

Thankfully, the bodyguards were busy checking the surroundings, so no one saw.

Not far away, excavators and bulldozers were hard at work,

leveling the uneven roads on the island.

Some of it had already been completed.

One boat after another shuttled back and forth, transporting various materials.

All these materials had been purchased from the closest place in Snake Country.

Hmm, the prices were much cheaper than back home.

The island was quite barren with very few plants.

After leveling, the land would still need to be fertilized.

An Nuonuo, looking like a curious baby, tugged at Jiang Xu to walk around and have a look everywhere.

“What is that?” An Nuonuo pointed to a pillar over two meters tall not too far away.

Jiang Xu smiled, “It’s a signal antenna, otherwise we wouldn’t get internet access here.”

“Oh… Hey, they are building houses over there.”

Not far away, houses were being rapidly erected.

In fact, these were modified containers,

mostly semi-finished products.

The only things that required some effort were digging latrines and laying pipes.

The island was too large to get around by foot alone.

They had also acquired several tricycles on the island.

Jiang Xu took one and drove An Nuonuo around.

Watching this poor, desolate island slowly being transformed, Jiang Xu couldn’t help but feel expectant.

Once all the transformations were complete, this place would become his most important support for a long period of time.

Without realizing it, they had driven over ten miles.

Suddenly, Jiang Xu noticed something and stopped.
