Chapter 142: A Salary Card With A 100,000 Available Credit Limit Each Month!
Today’s Intelligence 03:
You used the water purifier at home yesterday and obtained relevant intelligence—
The water pipe of the water purifier in your kitchen is connected incorrectly.
Adjust it promptly for better health.
……
“Damn… whose subordinate installed the water purifier!”
Seeing the third piece of intelligence refreshed today, Jiang Tao couldn’t help but grumble.
The water used for daily life in their kitchen, such as washing vegetables, cooking, and dishes, has always been purified water from the purifier.
They hadn’t noticed anything unusual after moving in for almost a month.
If it weren’t for the Daily Intelligence System’s reminder, they wouldn’t know how long they would have drunk “wastewater”!
Without knowing, one could pretend not to see it.
Now that this situation is known, it naturally cannot continue to be used.
It’s better not to cook at home tomorrow morning, just go out and buy something.
Let’s resolve the water purifier issue first.
This third piece of intelligence, whether it’s useful or not, has some use, but not much value.
Jiang Tao looked at Xu Li, and a virtual azure blue screen appeared above Xu Li’s head.
A prompt appeared on the screen.
【 Activate Sleep Mode for Xu Li? The fee is 66 yuan per use. 】
Ever since Jiang Tao discovered that Xu Li would fall asleep every time he left.
He discovered another hidden function of the Daily Intelligence System.
Each time, for only 66 yuan, he could make Xu Li enter a deep sleep state.
It would not affect her health in any way and even had certain benefits.
Once in deep sleep, Xu Li wouldn’t notice him leaving.
It was convenient for him to go out at night.
Discovering this hidden function of the system.
Jiang Tao had also had some entrepreneurial ideas in the past two days using this “hypnosis” ability.
This ability could be said to be an insomnia buster.
For 66 yuan, one could sleep soundly all night.
For patients who have long suffered from insomnia, this should be quite attractive, right?
Of course, this is just the cost price.
If one wants to profit from this ability, there must be a certain profit margin.
This concept is currently just a rough idea in Jiang Tao’s mind.
It is still being improved and will not be implemented that quickly.
“Yes!”
Without any hesitation, Jiang Tao directly chose “Yes.”
After the system successfully deducted the fee, the information displayed on the virtual screen above Xu Li’s head changed.
The information displayed 【 Xu Li is currently in deep sleep 】 with several small circles representing breathing.
Jiang Tao tiptoed out of bed, put on his pajamas, and returned to the living room.
He looked at the rooms of his parents and Jiang Xue, and spent another 198 yuan to activate sleep mode for the three of them.
Afterward, Jiang Tao returned to the bathroom and took out the clothes from the laundry basket to change.
While changing clothes, he thought about rummaging through the trash again and began to miss his two nephews.
If they were around, he wouldn’t have to do such dirty and tiring work.
Complaining aside, he definitely had to get that salary card.
After all, it was a “special item” recognized by the system.
It would be awesome if it could activate an attribute like in those wealthy web novels that offer consumption rebates!
After changing, he grabbed his room key and went downstairs.
He got in the car, opened the window, and lit a cigarette.
After taking a few puffs to clear his head, he started the car and slowly drove away from the residential area towards San He Zhuang.
Although Jiang Tao didn’t know where Jiang Jiaqi rented her apartment.
Fortunately, the Daily Intelligence System had already marked the location of the discarded bank card for him.
He projected the image on his retina onto the car’s windshield, which looked a bit sci-fi.
A green dot on the windshield was rapidly approaching a flashing red dot.
It took about 13 minutes.
The Mercedes-Benz GLS arrived at San He Zhuang Village, where Jiang Jiaqi rented her apartment.
【 Approaching target, 12 meters remaining! 】
Seeing the information prompt on the windshield, Jiang Tao’s gaze fell on a trash can outside a three-story residential building.
Clearly, that bank card was likely in that trash can.
“Sigh! I’m a trash picker again!”
Although extremely reluctant, Jiang Tao, for the sake of that special item, had to unbuckle his seatbelt, get out of the car, and go to the trash can.
Put on a mask, then a pair of sticky work gloves, and get to work!
Rustle, rustle, rustle—
He continuously transferred various trash items from the trash can to a nearby one.
Jiang Tao held his breath and rummaged through the trash can for about ten minutes before finding a postal savings card with a faint golden sheen.
He first wiped it thoroughly with toilet paper, then went back to the car and wiped it again with disinfectant wipes.
The originally dirty bank card became clean again.
【 Detected a special item held by the host, bind and activate immediately? 】
As Jiang Tao focused his gaze on the bank card, another prompt appeared on his retina.
“Yes, bind!”
Jiang Tao chose to bind without hesitation.
【 Ding! Bank card bound successfully! （ Not activated ）】
Seeing the binding successful prompt, Jiang Tao consciously took out a needle from behind his phone case.
Gritting his teeth, he pricked his thumb and squeezed out a drop of blood onto the bank card.
After the blood drop landed on the bank card, it spread and diffused like it had fallen into water, quickly disappearing.
【 Item activated! 】
【 Item Name 】: Diligent Salary Card!
【 Effect 】: Generates a fixed salary amount of 100,000 yuan per month.
【 Note 】: The salary from the salary card can only be used for purchasing office supplies, company material procurement, and employee salaries.
It cannot be withdrawn or used for personal consumption, and it resets at the end of each month.
“100,000 yuan per month, and it resets at the end of the month?”
Seeing the effect of the salary card, Jiang Tao swallowed his saliva with excitement.
A new company needs a lot of money for various expenses.
This salary card came at the perfect time!
In the future, he would use it for salary payments and purchasing office supplies.
He could even buy various materials with this money, saving his own out-of-pocket expenses.
Isn’t this equivalent to a safety net for himself!
The risk of entrepreneurship is instantly zero!
“100,000 a month, 1.2 million a year, and 12 million in 10 years!”
“Although the effect is not as good as the Money-Attracting Golden Toad’s money generation, it’s still a good thing!”
“Jiaqi, that child, is truly my little lucky star, bringing such a big gift as soon as she arrived!”
“After the company procedures are completed, I must increase her salary somewhat.”
Looking at the bank card in his hand, Jiang Tao felt incredibly satisfied.
Although he didn’t get the “wealthy person’s rebate” he had imagined, he was very satisfied with the salary card’s effect!
After binding and activating, the salary card was directly linked to Jiang Tao’s WeChat and Alipay accounts.
Jiang Tao didn’t know how the System Brother managed it, but it didn’t matter.
The banking system was like a grandson in front of the System Brother, easily manipulated.
“Got the item, going home to sleep!”
Jiang Tao put the salary card into his portable card holder.
He started the car, turned it around, and drove back to Bai Ge Zhuang New Village Residential Area.
After returning home, he took off his dirty clothes, took a quick shower, and used shower gel twice.
After cleaning himself, Jiang Tao returned to the large bed in the bedroom and slept holding his fragrant wife.
……
The next morning at 6:30 AM.
Xu Li woke up and saw Jiang Tao sleeping soundly beside her.
Her face instantly bloomed like spring flowers, bright and charming.
Last night, she had a dream.
She dreamed that she was a mother again and gave birth to a son for Jiang Tao, finally fulfilling his dream of having both a son and a daughter.
Although Jiang Tao didn’t say it often, he was very good to their daughter, but Xu Li knew he must also want a son.
“Why is there no movement for so long?”
“Oh belly, hurry up and give me some good news!”
Xu Li touched her flat lower abdomen, feeling puzzled why her pregnancy was taking so long this time.
It seemed she needed to increase her efforts in the future.
Xu Li pushed herself up, leaned over, and kissed Jiang Tao on the lips.
Just as she was about to pull away, a large hand pressed her back, and Jiang Tao also woke up.
Feeling the mischievous large hand on her, Xu Li gave Jiang Tao a playfully stern look:
“Don’t mess around, Mom and Dad will wake up soon.”
“You can just be quiet.”
Morning exercise for half an hour…
“You stinky husband, it’s all your fault, there’s no time to make breakfast anymore.”
Xu Li threw the toilet paper in her hand into the trash can by the bedside and playfully pinched the soft flesh on Jiang Tao’s waist with a shy expression.
“Let’s order takeout this morning. I feel like the water purified by our water purifier tastes a bit strange.”
“I’ll find someone to check if something is wrong today.”
Jiang Tao’s large hands caressed Xu Li’s smooth, fair, and long legs, their warm, jade-like feel intoxicating.
He had played with these legs for almost ten years and still wasn’t tired of them.
“It seems… there is indeed quite a bit of scale.”
Xu Li, who cooked and prepared meals in the kitchen every day, noticed the mediocre quality of the purified water from the purifier even earlier than Jiang Tao.
When boiling water in the pot, the scale was no different from tap water.
However, she hadn’t thought that the water purifier might be the problem, assuming it was always like this.
While playing with her legs, Jiang Tao had already ordered takeout on his phone.
Hearing the movement outside the room, Xu Li realized her mother-in-law was going to the kitchen to cook.
She quickly got dressed and went out to tell her not to bother cooking.
At 7:30 AM, the takeout arrived with a large order of breakfast placed by Jiang Tao.
Baozi, fried dough sticks, beef patties, soy milk, millet porridge, and tofu pudding, with a focus on variety.
“Daddy~ What’s the surprise you’re going to give me? Can you tell me now?”
Jiang Xue, not going to school today, rushed to Jiang Tao in her pajamas as soon as she woke up, asking about the surprise he mentioned last night.
“You’ll know when the time comes, it’s a surprise.”
Jiang Tao smiled, keeping a secret.
Jiang Xue said impatiently, “Then when do we leave?”
Jiang Tao spread his hands, looking a bit helpless, “After lunch. Dad has some things to deal with in the morning.”
“Ah? We have to wait until the afternoon.”
Jiang Xue’s little face fell, her lips pouted, showing her displeasure.
Xu Li said, “Xiao Xue, Dad’s work is important, no tantrums.”
Jiang Xue said reluctantly, “Alright! I hope Dad’s surprise doesn’t disappoint me.”
“Don’t worry, it’s a surprise!”
After appeasing his “little cotton jacket,” Jiang Tao looked at his father and said:
“Dad, I’ll transfer 80,000 yuan to you first.”
“For the processing plant, buy whatever you need. If the money isn’t enough, ask me again.”
“Oh, right, no matter what you buy, make sure to get an invoice, even if it’s handwritten.”
As he spoke, Jiang Tao took out his phone and transferred 80,000 yuan to his father’s phone.
This money was from Jiang Tao’s own funds.
【 The salary card 】 could be used to pay merchants supplying goods, but not for direct transfers to relatives.
However, as long as the items were for the company and had invoices, the money from the 【 salary card 】 could be used for reimbursement.
Although it was a bit troublesome, it was understandable, likely to prevent cash withdrawal.
“Okay.”
Jiang Wen nodded. He now unconditionally supported all of his son’s decisions.
He would do whatever his son told him to do.
“I called Zhang Chao yesterday and asked him to help with moving things today. He should be here soon.”
Ding-a-ling—
Just as Jiang Tao finished speaking, his phone rang.
Checking his phone, the caller ID displayed “Zhang Chao.”
Speak of the devil.
“Hello, Zhang Chao.”
“Are you downstairs? Have you eaten breakfast? Come up and have some.”
“Even if you’ve eaten, come up first, warm yourself up. I’m in 1601, don’t make me come down to get you.”
“Stop the nonsense, hurry up and come up. Don’t be so polite with your brother.”
After a brief conversation on the phone, Jiang Tao hung up and continued eating.
After about 3 minutes, there was a knock on the door.
“I’ll open the door~”
Jiang Xue, who had finished eating, excitedly went to open the door for Zhang Chao.
“Our Xiao Xue is so pretty again.”
Zhang Chao entered with a smile and praised Jiang Xue.
“Hehe~ Thank you for the compliment, Uncle Zhang Chao~”
Jiang Xue chuckled twice upon hearing Zhang Chao’s praise. Little girls always liked to be complimented on their looks.
“Uncle, Aunt, Brother Jiang, Sister-in-law, good morning.”
After greeting Jiang Xue, Zhang Chao proactively greeted Jiang Tao’s family.
“Xiao Chao, have you eaten? If not, come and have some, there’s still plenty.”
“I’ve eaten, Auntie. No need. You eat, I’ll go sit on the sofa for a while.”
After speaking, Zhang Chao walked to the nearby sofa and sat down. Being fellow villagers, he wasn’t polite with Jiang Tao’s family.
Looking at the warm and harmonious scene of Jiang Tao’s family, Zhang Chao felt envious.
He wasn’t jealous, though.
He had genuine respect for Jiang Tao, treating him as a true elder brother.
Looking at Zhang Chao entering, Jiang Tao’s thoughts immediately turned to the intelligence about Zhang Chao that the System Brother had provided earlier.
It had been many days since he contacted Zhang Chao’s biological father, Wang Minglong, but he hadn’t received a reply.
Jiang Tao was beginning to doubt if the System Brother had gotten the intelligence wrong.
“This can’t be rushed. Good food isn’t afraid of waiting, let’s wait patiently.”
Comforting himself, Jiang Tao sped up his eating and finished first.
After finishing, he gave a few more instructions to his parents and Zhang Chao, and Jiang Tao left first.
After going downstairs, he drove directly to Li Ming’s car dealership on the South Third Ring Road.
He planned to go and get the BAIC EU5 mentioned in the intelligence first.
It would be troublesome if someone else bought it.
Along the way, Jiang Tao was also curious about what attributes the BAIC EU5 would activate.
With the Pickle Jar and Salary Card as precedents.
The BAIC EU5 couldn’t be that bad, right?
At 10:00 AM.
The Mercedes-Benz GLS drove into Lao Li Premium Used Cars Market.
Li Ming, who was live-streaming on his phone, saw the familiar Mercedes-Benz GLS enter and handed his phone to his assistant to continue the broadcast.
Li Ming then walked forward with a smile to greet Jiang Tao.
“Brother Jiang, what brings you here? Welcome, Brother Jiang!”
Seeing Jiang Tao get out of the car, Li Ming greeted him with a smile.
Jiang Tao got out of the car and, without beating around the bush with Li Ming, said with a smile:
“I’m here to buy a used car for my dad today, to let him practice driving.”
“Certainly, Brother Jiang, feel free to pick any car. Just tell me which one you like, and the price will definitely satisfy you.”
After yesterday’s events, Li Ming was even more polite and enthusiastic towards Jiang Tao.
“Okay, you carry on. I’ll just look around.”
“Alright! Brother Jiang, take your time looking. Just let me know if you see anything you like.”
Li Ming didn’t stand on ceremony with Jiang Tao. After exchanging pleasantries, he returned to his live stream.
The sales from the live stream channel accounted for the majority of their car lot’s sales.
Li Ming enjoyed playing around in his free time.
But when it came to work, he was very serious and responsible.
Their car lot relied mainly on him for sales.
His personal sales volume accounted for 60% of the entire company’s.
The other five salespeople combined sold less than he did alone.
Watching Li Ming leave, Jiang Tao’s gaze turned to Zone B in the northwest direction of the car lot.
In his vision, there was a clear 5D real-time map.
This was a real scene, and the scenery on it was exactly the same as in reality.
Jiang Tao followed the golden arrow on the map.
Soon, he found the special BAIC EU5 new energy electric car mentioned in the intelligence.
The exterior of this car had been modified to resemble a taxi, and it looked about five years old.
If someone drove it out, they would most likely mistake it for a taxi.
Frankly, if not for its gleaming appearance.
Even if Li Ming gave it away for free, Jiang Tao wouldn’t want it.
After locking onto the target, Jiang Tao waved to Li Ming, who was live-streaming nearby.
Seeing Jiang Tao wave, Li Ming handed his phone to a live-streaming assistant and ran over to Jiang Tao.
“Li Ming, I want this one. How much is it?”
Jiang Tao didn’t waste time with Li Ming and directly pointed to the BAIC EU5, which was glowing with a dark golden light in his vision, and asked for the price.
Seeing the car Jiang Tao chose, Li Ming was obviously a bit surprised.
In his impression, Jiang Tao wasn’t someone who lacked money and was filial to his parents.
Why today… why did he choose something like this!
“Brother Jiang, I really don’t recommend you buy this car. How about I recommend another model with a similar price range?”
Li Ming looked away from the BAIC EU5 and said earnestly to Jiang Tao:
“This car was previously used for ride-sharing and has driven 280,000 kilometers. The charge-discharge cycles are already close to the limit.”
“After using it for a while longer, the battery performance will significantly degrade. I really don’t recommend you buy this one.”
Jiang Tao chuckled, “Haha, it’s okay. I plan to buy this car to play with.”
“I wanted to buy this car when it first came out, but I never did.
“Seeing it today, I find it more and more pleasing to the eye. I’ll buy it to play with and use it to let my dad practice driving.”
Jiang Tao would naturally not give up on a special item recognized by the system just because of Li Ming’s few words.
He was determined to get this car.
No one could change his mind!
Seeing Jiang Tao’s insistence, Li Ming laughed heartily:
“If you really choose this car, Brother Jiang, just drive it away. I’ll give it to you.”
“No, don’t accept gifts for no reason. Your cars aren’t free. You can not make money from me, but I can’t let you lose money.”
Jiang Tao naturally felt embarrassed to just take a special item from Li Ming for free; he had to pay.
He befriended Li Ming not to take advantage of him.
“Alright, I remember I bought this car for 21,000 yuan. Brother Jiang, just give me the cost price.”
Jiang Tao’s attitude further increased Li Ming’s favor towards him, making him feel even more like a friend worth deepening his relationship with.
“Okay! It’s that price.”
Jiang Tao smiled and agreed, then operated his phone to transfer 21,000 yuan to Li Ming.
The two then returned to the office, signed a purchase agreement, and the BAIC EU5, identified as a special item by the System Brother, became Jiang Tao’s.
【 You have obtained ownership of the item, bind and activate its attributes immediately? 】
The moment he signed his name on the purchase contract, another message appeared on Jiang Tao’s retina.
“Yes! Bind!”
Jiang Tao moved his mind and decided to bind the BAIC EU5 first.
As for the blood activation, he would do it later when he had time.
“Alright, Brother Jiang, that BAIC EU5 is yours.”
“You can test drive it for a while. I won’t set a time limit for you.”
“If you feel it’s difficult to drive or want to return it, you can come back anytime.”
Li Ming offered Jiang Tao exceptional treatment; others didn’t receive such service from him.
Jiang Tao smiled and nodded, “No problem! Find someone to drive the car to our residential area for me.”
“Sure thing! Since Brother Jiang has said so, this small request will naturally be fulfilled!”
Li Ming was very accommodating and immediately called one of the live streamers from the car lot, instructing him to drive with Jiang Tao back to Bai Ge Zhuang Residential Area.
From Jiang Tao’s arrival at the car lot to finishing his purchase and leaving, it took only about half an hour, smooth and efficient.
When he and the delivery driver returned to Bai Ge Zhuang Residential Area, it was already around noon.
“Mr. Jiang, here is your car key. I wish you a happy life and all the best.”
After getting out of the car, the delivery driver respectfully handed the key to the BAIC EU5 to Jiang Tao.
“Thank you. Sorry to trouble you for coming all this way. Here’s a small token for you to have a meal.”
As Jiang Tao spoke, he took out 300 yuan from his pocket and handed it to the delivery driver.
This money was enough for one person to eat very well and be full.
They were strangers, so Jiang Tao naturally wouldn’t invite him home for a meal.
“Thank you, Mr. Jiang! Thank you!”
The delivery driver clearly wasn’t new to receiving tips from customers.
After receiving Jiang Tao’s tip, he thanked him repeatedly.
“You’re welcome. Go find a place to eat.”
Jiang Tao waved with a smile and bid farewell to the delivery driver. He watched him walk dozens of meters away before turning back to get into the BAIC EU5.
