Chapter 129: Jiang Yi In A Limited Skin, And Three Pieces Of Intelligence About Her!
End of meal.
Jiang Tao and his family of three returned to the underground parking lot after 10 PM.
Jiang Tao and Du Taiming had drunk a jar of Nu’er Hong, and their heads were already a bit dizzy.
Driving was definitely out of the question, so Xu Li had to do it.
He sat in the front passenger seat to support and navigate for Xu Li.
“Husband, our family has truly met a benefactor this time. Ennan and General Manager Du are too good to us.”
“They gave us so many things after only meeting us once.”
Xu Li exclaimed sincerely while driving.
She had chatted with Du Ennan for about two hours, and their relationship had improved considerably.
After all, they were both women, and one was a mother while the other was an expectant mother, so they had endless topics to discuss.
Xu Li and Du Ennan exchanged phone numbers and added each other on WeChat, already becoming very good friends.
“Yes, they are indeed a bit expensive. Besides the 500,000 stored value card for our daughter, these two Green Water Ghosts are worth almost 200,000.”
In the front passenger seat, Jiang Tao put the Rolex Green Water Ghost on his wrist and exclaimed.
The price of these two Green Water Ghosts they received this time was not very high.
Besides, they were gifts, and it wouldn’t be right to sell them secondhand.
Therefore, Jiang Tao decided to keep them.
One for him and one for Xu Li.
“Pfft~”
Xu Li was amused by Jiang Tao’s words and said playfully:
“I said expensive in terms of the value, not this kind of expensive. Why do you have to relate everything to money?”
“It’s all the same. I’ll try it on you too, wife, to see if it looks good and if you like it.”
“If you don’t like this style, I’ll buy you a different one.”
“We can try it later when we get back. I need to concentrate on driving.”
Xu Li gave Jiang Tao a charming sideways glance.
Her driving skills did not allow her to drive with one hand.
Her slender, fair fingers gripped the steering wheel tightly, not daring to relax even a little.
Fortunately, the roads in the Capital City were much less crowded at night, not as congested as during rush hour.
It took about an hour.
Xu Li let out a long sigh of relief when she finally drove to the downstairs of the residential complex.
Finally, they were home safe!
Not all female drivers are road hogs!
Jiang Xue, who was sitting in the child seat in the back, had already fallen asleep with her head tilted on the way.
Xu Li wanted to wake Jiang Xue up to let her go upstairs on her own.
But she couldn’t resist her husband’s doting on their daughter, so he directly carried her out of the car and towards the hallway entrance.
Following behind Jiang Tao, Xu Li looked at his broad and upright back, and then at her daughter sleeping soundly on his shoulder.
The seed of happiness that had long sprouted in her heart quickly blossomed and bore fruit.
For the past month or so, the family had been together day and night.
Xu Li felt an unprecedented sense of fulfillment and happiness.
They took the elevator upstairs and returned home, it was already past eleven in the evening.
The main light in the living room was off, with only the warm yellow LED strip lights on.
Her parents were dozing on the sofa in the living room.
Seeing the family of three return, they were relieved.
Mother went to the kitchen to get Jiang Tao a bowl of warm hangover soup before going to bed.
After Jiang Tao and Xu Li took turns washing up, they also returned to their room.
Although it was late, Xu Li wasn’t sleepy at all, and had no desire to sleep.
“500,000, husband! How many skirts can we buy for our little Xue with this?”
Wearing a blue silk pajama set, Xu Li lay on the bed, holding the golden VIP card from Du Taiming.
Her beautiful eyes sparkled, looking like a little money-grubber.
“And this watch, it’s also over 100,000. I never even dared to dream of such a thing before.”
“How many trips would you have to make to earn 600,000?”
Xu Li raised her arm again and looked at the Green Water Ghost she was wearing on her wrist.
Tonight’s dinner felt like a dream.
“Silly wife, this is just the beginning. Our family’s life will only get better and better in the future.”
Jiang Tao said, hugging Xu Li from behind and pressing close to her.
He had drunk alcohol tonight, so it wasn’t suitable for “cultivation.” They just hugged and talked for a while before Xu Li fell asleep.
Although Jiang Tao was also a bit sleepy, he persisted until midnight for the intelligence refresh.
【 Today’s Intelligence 01】:
You had contact with Jiang Yi yesterday and obtained related intelligence:
Jiang Yi’s family’s heirloom Eight Treasure Pickles secret recipe has high commercial value!
……
“Eight Treasure Pickles secret recipe? High commercial value?”
Seeing the first piece of intelligence for the day, Jiang Tao’s eyes lit up.
He immediately thought of the pickle jar still lying in the trunk of his car.
Eight Treasure Pickles and a pickle jar, aren’t they a perfect match!
He could try to obtain the heirloom recipe from Jiang Yi.
After reading the first piece of intelligence, Jiang Tao’s mind moved, and he continued to read the next one.
【 Today’s Intelligence 02】:
You had contact with Jiang Yi yesterday and obtained related intelligence:
Jiang Yi sprained her ankle on a small stone while walking through the small grove outside the residential complex last night.
The small stone that was kicked 10 meters away after Jiang Yi reprimanded someone is a raw piece of Shoushan Tianhuang Stone, worth 190,000!
【 Note】: There are 3 years, 5 months, and 8 days left before this raw piece of Shoushan Tianhuang Stone is picked up by someone else.
……
“Shoushan Tianhuang Stone raw piece?”
Jiang Tao didn’t understand anything about stones.
But seeing the value of the stone, he was still a little excited.
190,000!
Such a small stone was enough to earn their daughter’s tuition for a year!
“Jiang Yi is truly a lucky star!”
“I need to interact with her more in the future!”
After contacting Jiang Yi yesterday, he obtained a Patek Philippe worth over 2 million.
Today, two more pieces of intelligence related to her have been refreshed.
Jiang Tao’s priority for Jiang Yi immediately increased to a strategic level.
“It seems this raw piece of Shoushan Tianhuang Stone is quite unremarkable.”
“There are still over 3 years left before it’s picked up by someone else.”
“There’s no need to rush to pick it up in the middle of the night. I can pick it up tomorrow during the day.”
Jiang Tao’s mind moved, and he continued to look at the third piece of intelligence for the day.
【 Today’s Intelligence 03】:
You had contact with Jiang Yi yesterday and obtained related intelligence:
The Jinxin Quantitative Selection Hybrid A/C Fund, held by Jiang Yi, has a growth rate of 32% within the next month.
It is recommended to purchase and hold, and sell at an opportune time for profit.
【 Note 1】: The host can purchase a maximum of 2 million. Exceeding this amount will cause unpredictable fluctuations in information accuracy.
【 Note 2】: The best purchase time is February 28, 2025, and the best selling time is March 30, 2025.
……
Seeing that the third piece of intelligence for the day was again related to Jiang Yi, Jiang Tao was truly impressed!
“A 32% increase! More exaggerated than gold’s increase!”
“2 million, with a 32% increase…”
“Holding it for a month will earn me 640,000!”
Moreover, System Brother had already marked the purchase and selling times for him.
If he couldn’t even make money with this, he might as well go home and raise pigs.
“Although my luck today is not as good as yesterday, it’s still pretty good!”
“The value of the last two pieces of intelligence combined is over 800,000.”
After analyzing the intelligence refreshed today, Jiang Tao felt inwardly pleased but also a little anxious.
System Brother had been too aggressive these past two days, perhaps…
“Bah, bah, bah! Don’t be a jinx. System Brother, keep up the good work. Your potential is far beyond what you see now!”
“Come on! Keep pushing!”
After encouraging System Brother in his heart, Jiang Tao put down his phone and hugged his wife to sleep.
……
426 kilometers away from Jiang Tao’s residential complex, in Jiang Tao’s hometown.
After Jiang Tao took his whole family to the Capital City, Jiang Bing did not rush back to the county town.
She continued to work at her second brother’s house and also looked after his home.
12:30 AM.
Jiang Bing, with sleepy eyes, finished watching the Korean drama she was following and was about to go to bed when an order notification popped up in her backend.
【 Someone has ordered 10 sets of stainless steel paper cups from your shop. The total order price is 599 yuan. Please process it promptly.】
“Someone ordered stainless steel paper cups!”
Seeing that the stainless steel paper cups she had listed for a day had finally sold one order, and it was for 10 sets at once.
Jiang Bing’s eyes lit up, and she immediately became energetic again!
“Trusting my second brother was the right choice. Someone actually bought them at such a high price!”
While processing the order on her computer, Jiang Bing happily did some calculations.
The cost of 10 sets of stainless steel paper cups was only 199 for her.
This single order had a profit of 400 yuan!
The logistics fee for shipping would be at most 10 or 20 yuan.
If she took a 20% cut, she would make seventy or eighty yuan profit from this single order!
It was like picking up money!
After processing the first order, just as Jiang Bing was about to shut down her computer, her work backend dinged, and there was a new order.
And this time it was also stainless steel paper cups, although only 1 set.
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong—
Jiang Bing didn’t know why so many night owls liked to shop online late at night.
But seeing the constantly increasing orders and new inquiry messages, Jiang Bing’s sleepiness completely vanished, and she re-entered her work mode.
From 12:30 AM to 7:30 AM.
In one night, the total sales of all items in Jiang Bing’s online store reached 157,433!
Among them, stainless steel paper cups accounted for the largest portion of sales.
2,366 sets of stainless steel paper cups sold for 141,723.4 yuan, becoming the best-selling product in her online store!
“Second brother should be awake by now, right?”
Jiang Bing went to the restroom to wash her face and eagerly picked up her phone to call Jiang Tao.
Ring ring ring—
The call was connected quickly, and Jiang Tao’s voice came from the other end.
“Hello, Third Sister. Did the sun rise from the west today? You’re up so early?”
Jiang Bing ignored her second brother’s teasing and said excitedly:
“Second brother! Our paper cups are selling like hotcakes again! Guess how much we sold last night.”
“I’m not guessing.”
“Oh, Second Brother, guess!”
“Sold them all?”
“10 pieces?”
“That’s boring, you’re not even trying to guess. Alright, no more nonsense with you. Last night we sold a total of 2,366 sets, with total sales of a little over 140,000.”
Seeing that her second brother was not cooperating, Jiang Bing’s excitement waned, and she reported last night’s achievement listlessly.
“You probably didn’t sleep at all last night, did you?”
“Wow, General Manager Jiang is actually concerned about people now.”
“Alright, I’m not teasing you anymore. You did a great job. After these paper cups are sold, I’ll give you a gift. You can pick anything under 30,000 yuan.”
“Really, Second Brother! You’re my real brother! Second Brother, you’re the best. To have a geigei like you in this life…”
“Disgusting!”
“Hey, hey, hey! Jiang Tao! Explain who is disgusting!”
“Damn it! You hung up on me again! Next time I see you, I’ll teach you a good lesson!”
After venting at the hung-up phone, Jiang Bing threw herself onto the bed to catch up on sleep.
……
The Capital City, downstairs of Bai Ge Zhuang Residential Complex.
After hanging up the phone with Jiang Bing, Jiang Tao drove directly towards Long Ze Yuan Residential Complex.
The first thing he had to do today was to get the Shoushan Tianhuang Stone that Jiang Yi sprained her ankle on last night.
Although there were still several years before someone else picked it up, getting it earlier would put his mind at ease.
In 23 minutes, Jiang Tao drove into Long Ze Yuan Residential Complex.
Since there were no dedicated parking spaces, he had to park on the curb like other residents in the complex, in a spot that wouldn’t cause obstruction.
After parking the car and getting out, Jiang Tao’s mind moved, and a highly precise map, like a satellite map, appeared on his retina.
On the map, a red dot was continuously flashing.
The location indicated by the red dot was the location of the Shoushan Tianhuang Stone mentioned in the second piece of intelligence yesterday.
Jiang Tao walked out of the West Gate of Long Ze Yuan Residential Complex, crossed the road, and entered a small grove.
This small grove originally had no path, but as more people walked through it, a path had been trodden on the ground.
With the navigation of the high-precision satellite map, Jiang Tao quickly found the small stone that had caused Jiang Yi to sprain her ankle.
“Are you called Shoushan Tianhuang Stone?”
Looking at the stone in his hand, which was about the size of a fist and had an outer skin color like a potato.
Jiang Tao immediately understood why someone would wait more than three years to pick it up.
It was no wonder Jiang Yi had picked it up last night and then discarded it.
It was simply too ordinary, too unremarkable!
Unless one encountered someone who understood stones.
An ordinary person would most likely kick it away.
“There are also stone sellers in Panjiayuan. If I have time today, I’ll go and see if anyone can recognize its value.”
Jiang Tao carefully placed the stone he picked up into the inner pocket of his jacket and then walked back towards the residential complex.
Back in the complex, he arrived at the parking spot.
Jiang Tao first opened the trunk and put the stone from his pocket inside. His gaze then fell upon the pickle jar he had gotten from Old Lu yesterday.
【 There is a risk of being observed by a third party in the current environment. The activation conditions for special items are not met. Please try in a safe environment.】
As expected, Jiang Tao’s attempt to activate the pickle jar failed again!
Activating special items requires an environment where they cannot be observed by any third party other than Jiang Tao.
Neither at the Bai Ge Zhuang Residential Complex nor at Long Ze Yuan Residential Complex met the activation conditions.
“What if I move it into the car?”
A flash of inspiration struck Jiang Tao, and he felt that this method was worth trying!
So, Jiang Tao opened the rear door of the Mercedes-Benz GLS, then moved the pickle jar from the trunk into the car, and closed the car door.
【 The current environment meets the activation conditions for special items!】
As expected, after moving the pickle jar here, there were no problems, and it could be activated!
Without a word, Jiang Tao used a small hairpin from the center console to prick his finger and dripped a few drops of blood into the pickle jar.
Hum~
The pickle jar absorbed Jiang Tao’s blood, emitted a faint light, and began the activation program.
【 Item Name】: Delicious Pickle Jar.（ Activated）
【 Item Description】: Pickling vegetables with this jar not only greatly shortens the time but also greatly enhances the taste of the pickles.
【 Item Effect】: Pickling Efficiency +3, Deliciousness +3
【 Capacity】: Maximum of 500 catties (250 kg) of pickles can be pickled each time.
Seeing the attributes of the activated pickle jar, Jiang Tao’s eyes lit up.
“Efficiency +3, Deliciousness +3?”
“How delicious must the pickles pickled with this jar be!”
“500 catties at a time, that’s quite a large portion.”
Seeing the attributes of the activated pickle jar, Jiang Tao’s mind went back to the first piece of intelligence he had refreshed today about Jiang Yi’s family’s Eight Treasure Pickles secret recipe.
Just as he had thought last night.
What if he combined Jiang Yi’s family’s Eight Treasure Pickles secret recipe with this 【 Delicious Pickle Jar】?
Would the Eight Treasure Pickles pickled by combining the two taste even better?
Would the commercial value be higher?
Higher commercial value, put simply, means he could sell the pickled Eight Treasure Pickles at a higher price and gain higher profits!
“It’s worth trying!”
“But the problem is, how do I get the Eight Treasure Pickles secret recipe from Jiang Yi? Buy it directly?”
He had already profited over 2 million from the intelligence related to Jiang Yi triggered in the past two days.
He didn’t mind spending some money to buy the recipe from Jiang Yi.
“Since I’m already here, I’ll go up and see if there’s an opportunity.”
Jiang Tao said, first moving the pickle jar out of the car and putting it back in the trunk.
After closing the trunk, Jiang Tao drove to a home textile store near the residential complex and bought a new bedding set, pillows, and quilts.
Go all out for the act.
Although the third sister wouldn’t be coming to the Capital City, he had to create the impression that she would be.
Otherwise, Jiang Yi might think he had ulterior motives for renting her apartment and consider him a pervert.
After buying the bedding, Jiang Tao also bought women’s slippers, toothbrushes, cups, and the like.
Finally, he bought two boxes of strawberries, two boxes of blueberries, two boxes of cherries, and a large durian from a fruit store outside the complex.
The total cost was just over 600 yuan.
You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb.
To obtain Jiang Yi’s family’s Eight Treasure Pickles secret recipe.
He had to invest a little first and build a good relationship with her.
After buying the fruit.
Jiang Tao, carrying bags and packages, arrived at the door of room 1203, which he was sharing with Jiang Yi.
He took out a key from his pocket, inserted it into the lock, and began to open the door.
Inside the room, by the dining table.
Jiang Yi, wearing a light pink thin pajama, was eating Eight Treasure Pickles and drinking millet porridge. She was startled by the sound of the door opening.
Then, she looked down at her chest, and then at the door that was about to open.
Like a startled rabbit, Jiang Yi’s face showed a panicked expression.
Immediately, with a push from her elastic, perky buttocks, she sprang up from her chair, intending to escape into her room on one leg.
However, the more flustered she became, the more likely she was to cause trouble.
“Ah!”
The first step Jiang Yi took tripped her on a corner of the dining table, and she fell face-first onto the floor with a thud.
Click!
The moment Jiang Yi fell to the ground, the door also opened, and Jiang Tao entered the room.
Upon entering and seeing Jiang Yi in a disheveled state on the floor, Jiang Tao didn’t think much and quickly stepped forward to help her up.
“Teacher Jiang, why are you on the floor? Are you okay!”
“N-no, I’m fine. I just tripped accidentally.”
As Jiang Tao helped her up, Jiang Yi stammered an explanation.
Her normally fair complexion had turned red, even spreading to her neck.
She was so embarrassed today!
How could she face him, her former student, seeing her in such a state!
At this moment, Jiang Yi wished she could just bang her head on the dining table or find a hole to crawl into!
She had embarrassed herself to her grandmother’s house!
As Jiang Tao helped Jiang Yi up, he also noticed some unusual aspects about her.
Firstly, her pajamas were somewhat sheer, revealing her fair, jade-like skin faintly beneath.
What made Jiang Tao’s blood boil even more was that she was not wearing a bra.
A pair of perfectly shaped snow-white breasts were about to be revealed.
At this moment, Jiang Yi perfectly blended intellectuality and sexiness, possessing a unique charm.
“Um, Teacher Jiang, is your foot okay?”
After helping Jiang Yi back to her seat, Jiang Tao looked at her foot and asked with concern.
“It’s fine. I just accidentally sprained my ankle on the stairs. It’s nothing serious. Thank you, Jiang Tao.”
Jiang Yi nervously brushed aside her hair that had fallen in front of her eyes, feeling her earlobes getting hot.
This was a physical reaction when she lied.
She wouldn’t admit that she tripped on a stone while walking; that would be too embarrassing.
“It’s good that you’re alright. You don’t need to thank me. Speaking of which, I should apologize to you.”
“I thought you were going to work, so I came to bring my sister some things without telling you.”
“I didn’t expect you to be resting at home, I must have disturbed you.”
Jiang Tao wasn’t entirely lying when he said this.
He knew Jiang Yi had sprained her ankle last night, but he didn’t know how serious it was or if she had taken the day off.
He had brought fruits today on a whim, hoping for luck.
Clearly, his luck was good, as he had encountered Jiang Yi in her “limited edition skin.”
“Oh, right, Teacher Jiang, I bought you some fruit on the way.”
“When my sister moves in later, please take good care of her and be understanding.”
“If she does anything wrong, tell me, and I’ll scold her.”
As Jiang Tao spoke, he turned to the door and brought the fruits from the floor to the dining table.
“You don’t need to be so polite, Jiang Tao. I will definitely take care of your sister when she arrives.”
“Please take these fruits back for Xiao Xue and her mother to eat.”
Jiang Yi looked at the fruits Jiang Tao had brought and was somewhat flattered.
Blueberries, strawberries, cherries, and durian; these fruits were not cheap.
These few boxes of fruit must have cost at least four or five hundred yuan.
Jiang Yi usually only bought affordable fruits like oranges, bananas, and apples.
Fruits like blueberries, strawberries, and durian were only bought occasionally to try.
Jiang Tao smiled, “I’ve already bought them, so please don’t be so polite, Teacher Jiang.”
“Consider it a thank you for your care and cherishing of our Xiao Xue at school during this time.”
Jiang Yi insisted, “You really don’t need to, Jiang Tao. You’re too polite. My care and cherishing of Xiao Xue is part of my job.”
“Huh, Teacher Jiang, where did you buy this pickle? It looks delicious.”
While chatting with Jiang Yi, Jiang Tao’s gaze swept over a small plate of Eight Treasure Pickles on the dining table.
He took the opportunity to shift the topic from fruits to Eight Treasure Pickles.
