Chapter 205: The Biggest Bonus, 6.3 Million In Task Rewards!
Seeing Liu Yuan and He Jing, and then looking at the battle-worn BMW X3 they were driving.
And the way Liu Zhiyuan and his brothers looked at Liu Yuan and He Jing.
It clicked, everything clicked!
“Do you know Brother Jiang and Sister-in-law?”
Liu Zhiyuan sidestepped from the side and looked at Liu Yuan and He Jing with surprise, asking.
“Huh? Ah! It’s you! How come you’re here too!”
Liu Yuan’s expression was also a bit surprised when she saw the “victim” she had just rear-ended.
“Brother Jiang, do you all know each other?”
He Jing’s gaze swept over Jiang Tao, Liu Zhiyuan, and the others, and her face showed a look of sudden realization.
“So it was you who rear-ended Liu Zhiyuan and them just now? Haha, what a mess.”
Jiang Tao laughed twice and said:
“As long as no one is hurt, everything can be settled. Everyone has insurance, let the insurance company handle the damage report, let’s not ruin the harmony.”
“Zhiyuan, let me introduce you, these are Liu Yuan and He Jing, friends I met in the Capital City.”
“This is Liu Zhiyuan, Shan Yufei, and Hao Zhiming, all my buddies, my friends.”
“Everyone here has gotten to know each other through this incident.”
“Something came up today, it was a bit of a coincidence. I’ll arrange another gathering another day, and we can all sit down and let bygones be bygones, how about that?”
“It’s okay, Brother Jiang, there are no grudges, it’s a small matter, all small matters.”
“Ahem, sorry buddies, I’m not familiar with the roads in Ping County, so…”
Hearing Jiang Tao’s words, Liu Zhiyuan and Liu Yuan immediately chose to forgive each other.
Jiang Tao’s gaze flickered between the two of them, thinking that these two truly were a “match made in heaven” with a compatibility of 96 points.
He had previously seen a piece of intelligence about Liu Yuan saying her compatibility with Liu Zhiyuan was very high.
Jiang Tao had been planning to introduce them after Liu Yuan divorced her husband, Xu Xinlei.
He was still just planning and hadn’t taken action yet, and these two had already met, the gears of destiny had begun to turn.
After getting acquainted, they chatted for a few more pleasantries, and then the group entered the White Magnolia Hotel together, parting ways in the lobby.
Jiang Tao and Xu Li took Liu Zhiyuan and his three brothers to the large private room they had booked in advance.
Liu Yuan and He Jing were also invited to the banquet by an elder.
When Jiang Tao and his group entered the private room, everyone inside was already chatting and talking, and the atmosphere was lively.
“Uncle Jiang, Uncle Xu, Aunt Tian, Aunt Du, good evening everyone.”
“Uncle Tian, good evening.”
“Xiao Bing, good evening.”
“Elder Brother, Elder Sister-in-law, good evening…”
After entering, Liu Zhiyuan and his three brothers politely greeted the elders, Jiang He and his wife, and Jiang Bing.
“Xiao Liu, Xiao Dan, you’re here, oh, and who is this?”
“Sit, sit, everyone sit down, don’t be shy, there are no outsiders here.”
“I’d like to formally introduce our new friend, Hao Zhiming, a future sports star.”
“Brother Jiang praises me too highly. Good evening, all uncles, aunts, elder brother, elder sister-in-law, older sisters, my name is Hao Zhiming, I hope for your guidance in the future.”
Although Hao Zhiming was somewhat introverted, he was very polite, and after introducing himself, he bowed respectfully to everyone.
“Welcome, Little Hao, to our big family!”
“Welcome, Little Hao.”
“The young man is good, polite.”
After hearing Hao Zhiming’s self-introduction, everyone nodded and praised him.
“Sit, sit, everyone come and sit down.”
Jiang Tao called out, and everyone took their seats.
The private room today was the largest at the White Magnolia Hotel, with a large round table in the center that could comfortably seat 20 people.
Including the elderly and young, there were exactly 19 guests present today, perfectly filling the large round table.
After everyone was seated, Jiang Tao signaled the waiter to start serving the dishes.
In less than ten minutes, seven or eight waiters successively pushed their carts to bring all the dishes Jiang Tao had ordered to the table.
There were over 40 dishes on the table tonight.
All the signature dishes of the White Magnolia Hotel were included, making it exceptionally lavish.
The drinks included Moutai, various freshly squeezed fruit juices, cold drinks, and hot drinks.
Everyone present, including Jiang Tao himself, was eating such a lavish banquet for the first time.
After all the dishes were served, Jiang Bing, Xu Sha, Jiang Shijie, and Jiang Shaojie, the younger generation, took photos as a tribute.
After posting the lavish spread on their Moments, they received a large number of comments and likes.
In Ping County, such grand banquets were truly rare.
After the photo session, the banquet officially began.
“Jiang Tao, say a few words to everyone!”
“Yes, Xiao Tao, say a few words. Everyone being gathered here tonight is all thanks to you.”
Xu Wencheng and Jiang Wen, the two sets of in-laws, smiled as they looked at their son-in-law and son, their faces full of pride.
“Say a few words, Xiao Tao.”
“Xiao Tao, say a few words! Let’s have some sense of ceremony or something.”
Tian Xiaomei and Du Yongmei, one his mother, the other his mother-in-law, looked at their son and son-in-law with eyes full of relief.
“Husband, say a few words~”
“Second Brother, don’t be shy! Say a few words to everyone~”
“Brother Jiang, say a few words!”
“Okay, okay, since everyone is so enthusiastic, I’ll just say a few simple words.”
Seeing that they couldn’t refuse their kind invitations, Jiang Tao chuckled and stood up from his seat, his gaze sweeping over everyone.
The eyes of everyone in the room also focused on Jiang Tao.
Their gazes towards him held relief, admiration, affection, and also many expectations.
After a pause of more than ten seconds, Jiang Tao finally spoke:
“As everyone can probably see.”
“Everyone sitting here tonight is either my closest family.”
“Or, they are my best brothers, Jiang Tao’s.”
“You are the group of people I cherish most in my life, the most important to me, and the people I trust the most.”
“As everyone can see, our venture has just begun, and we will need many people in the future.”
“As long as we all work together, we will surely forge a bright future!”
“Alright, I won’t say any more nonsense or emotional words.”
“Tonight, everyone eat and drink well, and we won’t go home until we’re drunk!”
“For the first toast, let’s all clink glasses together, our friendship is all in the wine!”
After Jiang Tao finished speaking, he raised his wine glass and looked at everyone.
Swish, swish, whoosh—
Everyone also stood up from their seats, raising their wine glasses if they were drinking wine, or their beverages if they were drinking juice.
Jiang Xue also raised her AD calcium milk to toast with everyone.
“Cheers!”
“Cheers~”
Everyone raised their glasses together and clinked them with Jiang Tao, forming a circle around his wine glass.
It was as if everyone was now centered around him, revolving around him.
After clinking glasses, everyone simultaneously drained their wine or beverage in their cups.
Then, they entered the mode of free conversation.
Xu Li, her mother-in-law, her mother, her elder sister-in-law, and her maternal uncle’s wife, these mature women chatted and laughed.
Jiang Bing and Xu Sha, one is a paternal aunt, the other is a maternal aunt, they also chatted and laughed happily with Jiang Xue.
Jiang Tao, along with his father-in-law, father, maternal uncle, elder brother, and Liu Zhiyuan and his three brothers, clinked glasses and chatted while drinking.
The atmosphere in the private room was warm and harmonious.
After three rounds of drinks and five courses, Jiang Tao finally steered the conversation to the matter of “distributing money,” which everyone was most concerned about.
When they initially invested in the Tian Family Village cattle farm project, Jiang Tao accidentally triggered the system task of 【Share Fortune Together】.
He needed to recruit 5 partners to invest together, and he could receive an additional bonus reward of 5 times his own profit!
Therefore, Jiang Tao found his father-in-law, his elder brother Jiang He, his younger sister Jiang Bing, and Liu Zhiyuan and Shan Yufei, the two brothers, to invest in the project together.
Jiang Tao himself contributed 1.4 million, holding 60% of the shares.
His father-in-law and the other four people each contributed 200,000, holding 8% of the shares respectively.
After the Tian Family Village cattle farm project was successfully completed, after deducting all expenses, there was a net profit of 2.1 million remaining.
According to the share distribution, Jiang Tao would receive 1.26 million in profit.
His father-in-law and the others would each receive 168,000 in profit for their 5 shares!
Investing 200,000 and earning 168,000 in about a month!
This thing made money faster than loan sharking!
All 6 shareholders were present today, and they reconciled the accounts together.
The profits and distribution ratios were confirmed to be correct.
Jiang Bing transferred money from the public account she managed to each of them.
When Jiang Tao received the 1.26 million transfer, a azure system interface flashed up, displaying a notification.
【Congratulations on successfully completing the 『Share Fortune Together』 task!】
【Your additional cash reward of 6.3 million yuan has been transferred, please check!】
Buzz~
As the system interface appeared, Jiang Tao’s mobile phone in his pocket vibrated.
He didn’t need to look to know it was the System Brother’s transfer!
1.26 million plus the system reward of 6.3 million.
Jiang Tao’s total profit from the Tian Family Village cattle farm project reached 7.56 million!
This was the largest bonus he had earned since binding with the Daily Intelligence System!
Although this task took over a month and involved many people working together.
It was all worth it!
【Your friendship value with Liu Zhiyuan increased by 3 points, your friendship value with him is now 75 points.（Close Friend）】
【Your friendship value with Shan Yufei increased by 3 points, your friendship value with him is now 73 points.（Close Friend）】
【Your friendship value with Hao Zhiming increased by 2 points, your friendship value with him is now 62 points.（Friend）】
As everyone received their dividends, Jiang Tao also reaped a wave of friendship points.
This batch of friendship points was like a double surprise.
When his friendship value with his friends reached 90 points, reaching 【Close Friend】.
He would receive a one-time cash reward of 999,999 and a 【Friendship Boat】 as a reward.
Collecting 10 【Friendship Boats】 could be exchanged for a real yacht.
Even if Jiang Tao didn’t play with the yacht, it would be worth a lot of money if sold.
So, in a way, “friendship value” also has a certain worth.
After distributing the money, everyone’s enthusiasm soared even higher, and the atmosphere became even more fervent.
People toasted each other and chatted.
After participating in a successful project together.
They went from strangers to familiar acquaintances, and their distances also narrowed.
Liu Zhiyuan and Shan Yufei were also good with their words, calling the elders “Uncle” and “Auntie” one after another.
They doted on the elders like Jiang Dad and Xu Dad, making them extremely happy.
Jiang Mom and Xu Mom even said they would find blind dates for Liu Zhiyuan and his two brothers.
The meal continued until past 10 PM, and only ended as the restaurant was about to close.
Everyone ate and drank well tonight.
Jiang Tao spent over 30,000 yuan for the bill.
This amount of money was no longer a significant sum for Jiang Tao nowadays.
Adding the 7.56 million received today, Jiang Tao’s personal nest egg exceeded 20 million+!
He was one step closer to a small goal.
After settling the bill, everyone exited the hotel together.
After bidding farewell to each other in the hotel’s parking lot, everyone went their separate ways home.
Jiang Tao and Xu Li returned to their courtyard house with Jiang Xue well past 11 PM.
Jiang Xue was tired after playing all day, so Xu Li took her to take a bath.
While the mother and daughter were bathing, Jiang Tao opened his Moments to briefly browse the day’s updates.
As he expected.
The content on Jiang Bing’s, Xu Sha’s, Liu Zhiyuan’s, his nephew’s, and his younger nephew’s Moments was all about the gathering at the White Magnolia Hotel tonight.
Some posted nine-picture collages, others posted single photos.
Although their captions varied, they all received many likes and comments below.
The scale of tonight’s banquet was considered top-tier within Jiang Bing’s and the others’ social circles.
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong—
Before Jiang Tao could finish browsing his Moments, his phone continuously rang with notification sounds.
He returned to the main interface and saw that it was the “big family” group chat, newly created in the White Magnolia private room tonight, where someone was sending messages.
【Xu Sha: Driver Xiao Xu has safely escorted Mom and Dad home!（Cute）】
【Liu Zhiyuan: Safely home +1】
【Shan Yufei: Safely home +1】
【Jiang Bing: I’m in bed, I ate so much tonight!（Dizzy）】
【Du Yongmei: @Jiang Tao, Xiao Tao, have you arrived home yet?】
【Xu Sha: Mom, isn’t that obvious? Brother-in-law and sister are with Sister Bing!（Sweating）】
【Jiang Tao: @Du Yongmei, we’re home, Mom. Lili and Xiaoxue are going to take a bath.】
【Du Yongmei: Okay, I’m relieved you’re home.（Rose）】
【Jiang Bing: @Jiang Tao, group leader, a new group has been created, aren’t you going to give us some red envelopes to celebrate?】
【Xu Sha: Want red envelopes +1! (Playful)】
【Liu Zhiyuan: Want red envelopes +1（Playful）】
【Jiang Tao: You’re unbelievable, Liu Zhiyuan, why are you acting cute, you’re a guy!】
Seeing how lively the new group chat was, and feeling super happy today.
In the morning, he spent 3,000 yuan to buy a mutated hairy walnut tree.
He also acquired a Bitcoin USB drive worth over 1.5 million yuan.
In the evening, he received 1.26 million from the profit sharing, and the system rewarded him with another 6.3 million.
In total, Jiang Tao’s earnings for the day exceeded 9 million yuan!
Sending out some red envelopes in the new group and having fun with everyone was nothing.
While Xu Li and Jiang Xue were bathing, Jiang Tao sent out over 30 red envelopes of 200 yuan each in the group, letting everyone grab their fill.
After Jiang Tao’s red envelope rain ended, Jiang Bing and the others each sent out over ten.
From after 11 PM until midnight, the red envelopes in the group chat didn’t stop.
After Xu Li finished her bath, she claimed over a hundred red envelopes at once.
Coupled with the fact that she was wearing the 【Heluo Stone】 and had good luck, she actually helped Jiang Tao recoup a lot of his expenses.
