Chapter 206: The Big Shot’s Woman!
In the bathroom.
Jiang Tao moved his mind and opened the warehouse interface of the Daily Intelligence System panel.
Swish!
The air in front of him rippled like the surface of water, and three storage compartments appeared.
Jiang Tao reached into the third compartment and took out the 【 Monopoly Dice 】 inside.
The moment he took the 【 Monopoly Dice 】 into his hand, a notification message floated across Jiang Tao’s retina.
【 Yesterday’s non-system revenue was 52,138 yuan! 】
“It’s not even a fraction of what the system rewarded yesterday…”
“It would be awesome if that 9 million could be doubled!”
Seeing yesterday’s operating income, Jiang Tao muttered a couple of sentences in a low voice while throwing the dice in his hand into the sink.
Roll, roll~
The 【 Monopoly Dice 】 spun in the sink for quite a while as if defying gravity before stopping.
The number facing up displayed “5”.
【 Your daily revenue multiplier is 5, funds have been deposited, please check. 】
Buzz~
The screen of the mobile phone Jiang Tao had placed in the right compartment of the bathroom cabinet lit up.
He picked up the phone and indeed found a transfer notification from ICBC Bank.
【 Your ICBC Savings Card with the last four digits XX89 has received 260,690 yuan, with a current balance of 25,668,879.66 yuan. 】
Over 25 million!
It had only been a little over two months, less than three months.
From being a truck driver with over 80,000 yuan in debt to becoming a big boss with over 25 million yuan in deposits.
Jiang Tao always felt a sense of unreality.
But he knew this was a fact that couldn’t be more real, something he had confirmed hundreds of times.
“Phew, stay calm, stay calm, this is just the beginning.”
“Tens of millions are nothing to real big shots.”
“They can earn tens or even hundreds of billions without a system!”
Jiang Tao smiled at his reflection in the mirror and reached out to put the 【 Monopoly Dice 】 from the sink back into the warehouse.
His gaze swept over the system interface, which showed the time was already 00:08 AM.
Jiang Tao moved his mind and checked the intelligence that had been refreshed for today.
【 Today’s Intelligence 01 】:
You had contact with Liu Yuan yesterday and obtained related intelligence—
Liu Yuan added Liu Zhiyuan on WeChat last night, and they had a very pleasant conversation.
…
“Destiny brings people together from afar; a compatibility of over 90% makes a difference.”
“These two are quite a match, I hope they have a good outcome!”
Jiang Tao moved his mind and looked at the second piece of intelligence for today.
【 Today’s Intelligence 02 】:
You dined at the White Magnolia Hotel yesterday and obtained related intelligence—
The owner of the White Magnolia Hotel, Bai Yulan, is the woman of a certain big shot and has extensive connections.
Befriending Bai Yulan can grant you broader connections.
…
“Bai Yulan, the woman of a big shot…”
“It’s worth trying to get acquainted.”
“Connections are something you might not need, but you shouldn’t be without them.”
Seeing the content of the second intelligence refresh, Jiang Tao secretly made a note.
Moving his mind, he continued to check the last piece of intelligence for today.
【 Today’s Intelligence 03 】:
You had contact with Tian Mingrong yesterday and obtained related intelligence—
Tian Mingrong’s lottery shop sold a second prize winning lottery ticket yesterday.
This lottery ticket can win a bonus of 124,668 yuan.
【 Note 1 】: You can bet up to 5 times, otherwise the winning number will change due to irresistible factors.
【 Note 2 】: This intelligence information cannot be shared with others, otherwise the winning number will change due to irresistible factors.
…
“A lottery ticket prize of over 120,000 yuan?”
“And it can be bet 5 times! That’s over 600,000 yuan!”
“Even after taxes, there’s still nearly 500,000 yuan left!”
Seeing the content of the last piece of intelligence, Jiang Tao’s eyes lit up first, then dimmed.
“System Brother, why don’t you show me the winning number!”
He looked over the third piece of intelligence meticulously, back and forth, several times.
The system did not indicate which specific lottery player would win.
Nor did it display the specific winning numbers.
“I guess my aunt’s shop doesn’t sell that many lottery tickets a day.”
“Tomorrow I’ll go ask her to check yesterday’s ticket sales records and bet them all again.”
After thinking for a while, Jiang Tao came up with a clumsy plan.
For the sake of the 500,000 yuan prize, this action was worth it.
After checking the three pieces of intelligence for today, Jiang Tao moved his mind and closed the system interface.
He picked up his phone and walked out of the bathroom.
He gently pushed open the bedroom door, and Xu Li, in 『 Sleep Mode 』, was already asleep in bed.
Jiang Tao also activated 『 Sleep Mode 』 for himself and went to bed.
The night passed without incident.
“Daddy, Daddy, wake up~”
“The sun is shining on your butt~”
“Aren’t we going camping today? Hurry up and get up~”
“Grandma has already made breakfast, and she’s calling us to eat.”
The next morning, Jiang Tao was woken up by his little cotton jacket.
Last night during dinner, everyone had agreed to go camping by Qisan Reservoir today.
This was Jiang Xue’s first time camping in her life, and she was very excited.
Jiang Tao opened his eyes and glanced at his watch; it was only 6:30 AM, not yet 7 o’clock.
But with the “little alarm clock” pulling and tugging at him, Jiang Tao had no choice but to get up.
In 『 Sleep Mode 』, six hours of sleep was enough.
As Jiang Tao walked out of the bedroom, he saw Xu Li trying on clothes in front of the full-length mirror in the walk-in closet opposite, with her back to the door.
A Chanel mint-green, waist-cinching, chest-hugging dress outlined her curvaceous back.
A pair of delicate butterfly shoulder blades were clearly visible behind her.
The hip line, under the simple cut, showed even more tension, like a meticulously carved peach.
Hearing the movement behind her, Xu Li turned around to look at Jiang Tao, and a pure and bright smile instantly appeared on her face.
“Husband, how do I look in this dress today?”
As she spoke, Xu Li moved her toes and twirled in front of Jiang Tao, showcasing her figure from all angles.
The ends of her dark hair brushed against her fair shoulders, and a pair of Cartier pearl earrings on her earlobes swayed lightly with her movements.
“Wow~ Mom is so beautiful! Mom is the most beautiful mom in the world~”
Jiang Xue clapped her hands in delight upon seeing her mother’s stunning beauty.
Every time she went out with her mother, she felt incredibly proud.
“Uh, it’s beautiful, but…”
Jiang Tao looked at Xu Li’s prominent chest and her exposed shoulders.
The dress was beautiful, but in his opinion, it was too revealing.
Jiang Tao was somewhat chauvinistic in his thinking.
He didn’t want his wife’s good figure to be seen by other men.
“Silly, this is how I wear it at home, of course. When we go out, I’ll wear a jacket.”
Xu Li gave Jiang Tao a playful glare and reached into the closet again to find a dark blue denim jacket and put it on.
Her fair shoulders and prominent chest were instantly covered by the denim jacket.
Then, she took out a light pink Hermes silk scarf and tied it around her slender neck.
“Like this?”
Xu Li’s voice carried a hint of playful charm, and the slight upward curve of her eyes was like a hook dipped in honey, utterly captivating.
“Perfect! My wife is truly beautiful!”
Jiang Tao smiled and gave Xu Li two thumbs up.
He felt he had cultivated for many lifetimes to be able to marry a wife as beautiful and well-figured as Xu Li.
Even though they had been married for seven or eight years, their passion had not diminished, but rather increased day by day.
“Then I’ll wear this. I’ve also found your clothes. Go wash your face and shave first.”
“Mom just called to say breakfast is ready and is urging us to hurry over.”
As Xu Li spoke, she turned and bent over to pick up an outfit she had chosen for Jiang Tao from the bed and walked out of the walk-in closet.
“Alright, Your command is my pleasure~”
Jiang Tao said with a smile and turned towards the bathroom.
“We’re going ahead, we won’t wait for you.”
“Daddy, you need to hurry~”
“Okay.”
After Jiang Tao responded from the bathroom, he heard the mother and daughter go out hand in hand, chatting and laughing.
After 10 minutes of washing up.
When Jiang Tao arrived at his mother’s house, he saw that everyone else had already arrived.
Only he and Third Sister were missing.
“Good morning, Second Uncle!”
“Second Uncle, you’re here!”
Jiang Shijie and Jiang Shaojie greeted Jiang Tao with smiles.
The two brothers had experienced a luxurious feast at a high-end restaurant with their Second Uncle last night and had also snatched over a thousand yuan in red envelopes from the group chat.
The two brothers now saw their Second Uncle as their biggest idol.
Jiang Tao looked at Jiang Shijie and asked with a smile, “Where’s your girlfriend? Is she coming today?”
“Yes, she arranged to come with Sister-in-law’s sister, they’re coming in their car.”
Although the matter between Jiang Shijie and Wang Xiaohong was an open secret in the Old Jiang family.
He still seemed a bit uncomfortable whenever Wang Xiaohong was mentioned.
After all, he was still a high school senior, easily embarrassed.
“When she arrives, treat her well and don’t neglect her.”
Jiang Tao smiled and instructed his eldest nephew, then went to sit at the large round table and asked his mother:
“Where’s Third Sister, Mom? Hasn’t she woken up yet?”
“She’s still lying in her room. She’s a grown woman, but she’s lazy all day, how will she ever get married.”
When it came to her own daughter, Tian Xiaomei was speechless, not knowing who this girl took after.
“Aunt isn’t eating breakfast, is she trying to lose weight! She seems to have gained a lot of weight recently, with several ‘swimming rings’ on her belly.”
Jiang Xue analyzed the reason for her aunt not eating breakfast with a shake of her head, sounding quite plausible.
“Hahaha, possibly! Your aunt is about to break 150 catties, if she doesn’t lose weight now, she’ll become a ball.”
Jiang Tao looked at the room where Jiang Bing was sleeping and deliberately raised his voice to agree with his little cotton jacket.
“Jiang Tao! Jiang Xue! You two stop spreading rumors about this great beauty!”
“This great beauty doesn’t even weigh 120 catties!!!!”
As expected, as soon as the father and daughter finished speaking, Jiang Bing’s roar came from inside the room, making everyone present laugh heartily.
Less than five minutes later, Jiang Bing, with a bird’s nest of hair, emerged from the room and glared at Jiang Tao and Jiang Xue with fierce eyes.
As if to prove that she didn’t need to lose weight and wasn’t losing weight.
After sitting down, Jiang Bing consumed 4 large fried dough sticks, two bowls of millet pumpkin porridge, and two boiled eggs.
She successfully earned the SVIP title for the largest appetite at the table.
After breakfast, it was only a little past 8 AM.
There was still over an hour until the agreed-upon assembly time of 9:30 AM.
Jiang Tao transferred 10,000 yuan to Jiang Bing, asking her to go buy the equipment and ingredients needed for today’s camping trip.
Things like tarps, tables and chairs, grills, fruitwood charcoal, and ingredients all needed to be prepared.
Although Ping County was just an obscure small county town in the country.
It still had one-stop shops for camping equipment and barbecue ingredients.
As long as you have money, you can buy anything.
Jiang Bing received the order and took two nephews and one niece out shopping in a Mercedes-Benz GLS.
Jiang Tao called his uncle and asked him and his aunt Tian Mingrong to wait for him at the lottery shop.
Around 9 AM.
A Mercedes-Benz G-Class drove onto the curb and stopped in front of a welfare lottery shop.
Jiang Tao got out of the car and saw his uncle and aunt already waiting inside.
Early in the morning, there were still several customers buying lottery tickets in the shop.
Tian Mingrong’s lottery shop had been open for over ten years and had accumulated some regular customers.
“Xiao Tao, you’re here!”
Tian Xiaoguang saw Jiang Tao get out of the car and walked out of the shop with a smile.
“Uncle, have a smoke.”
Jiang Tao smiled, took a pack of Da Tian Ye cigarettes from his pocket, and tossed it to his uncle.
Tian Xiaoguang didn’t stand on ceremony with his nephew, took it, skillfully opened it, and pulled out two cigarettes.
After the two of them finished their cigarettes outside, the two customers who were printing tickets inside had also finished and left.
“Xiao Tao, you’re here.”
Tian Mingrong greeted Jiang Tao with a smile as he entered.
Tian Mingrong also deeply respected Jiang Tao, knowing that he was a benefactor in her and Tian Xiaoguang’s lives.
“Good morning, Aunt. Thank you for coming all this way.”
Jiang Tao greeted Tian Mingrong with a smile and politeness.
Tian Mingrong and Tian Xiaoguang were also invited to today’s camping event, and they originally didn’t plan to open the shop today.
With one phone call from Jiang Tao, she reopened the shop without asking any questions.
“It’s like this, Aunt. A friend of mine asked me to help him with something.”
After a bit of small talk, Jiang Tao began to get to the point by “creating a friend out of thin air.”
Tian Mingrong nodded and said, “Xiao Tao, just tell me. As long as I can help you, I definitely won’t hesitate.”
Jiang Tao directly asked, “Can we check yesterday’s ticket sales records at our shop?”
Tian Mingrong nodded, “Yes, we can.”
Jiang Tao smiled and said:
“That’s good! My friend said to have me come here and re-print all the lottery tickets sold at our shop yesterday, and bet them five times.”
“Ah? Re-print all the tickets sold yesterday, and bet them five times?”
Tian Mingrong showed a surprised expression upon hearing Jiang Tao’s words.
Although her shop was not large, its daily revenue was still several thousand yuan.
“Wow, what kind of friend is this?”
Tian Xiaoguang was also full of surprise upon hearing Jiang Tao’s words.
It was the first time he had heard of betting on lottery tickets like this!
“That’s what he said. We don’t know why, and we don’t ask. We don’t understand the thoughts of rich people.”
Jiang Tao shrugged and smiled, “He transferred 50,000 yuan to me on WeChat. Should be enough? If not, I’ll ask him for more activity funds.”
“It’s enough, it’s enough. My shop’s daily revenue is only about 4,000 yuan.”
Tian Mingrong looked at Jiang Tao with some uncertainty and asked:
“Are we really betting like this?”
Jiang Tao smiled and said, “Bet it. My friend has plenty of money, he won’t mind this small amount.”
Tian Mingrong confirmed with Jiang Tao again and again, “Shall I bet it then?”
“Bet it!”
Jiang Tao nodded with a smile.
Spending over 20,000 yuan to win over 600,000 yuan, this is a huge profit.
