Chapter 235: Ace-level Allure!
Not a word was spoken all night.
Time quickly came to 7 AM.
“Husband~ Wake up, it’s time to eat.”
Xu Li, wearing a checkered apron, returned to the bedroom to wake Jiang Tao after preparing breakfast.
She cupped Jiang Tao’s face with her slender, fair hands, puckering his mouth into a duck face.
Looking at her dear husband’s sleepy appearance.
Xu Li did not feel the slightest displeasure or revulsion.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with love.
When you love someone deeply, everything they do is right.
You will like them no matter what they do.
Xu Li and Jiang Tao started dating back in high school.
The two went from school uniforms to wedding dresses, from a couple to a family of three.
Along the way, they struggled and were poor, but they never argued.
They were always considered a model couple by friends and family.
“Aiya… stop messing around… there’s oil on the apron.”
Amidst Xu Li’s hushed gasp, Jiang Tao reached out and pulled her into his arms.
“What oil? That’s ‘love you’ oil.”
Jiang Tao opened his eyes and looked at his petite wife, who was as radiant as a rose after rain, in his arms. His cheesy pickup lines came out effortlessly.
“Hehe, what ‘love you’ oil, that’s so cheesy. Hurry up and get up, Mom and Dad are already serving rice.”
Xu Li lowered her head and pecked Jiang Tao on the lips. She placed her hands on his chest to stand up but didn’t succeed.
Feeling Jiang Tao’s powerful arms, like mechanical arms.
Xu Li’s mind couldn’t help but recall the shameful scene from last night when he lifted her with those arms for “that,” and her face immediately felt a bit flushed.
In the recent period, as Jiang Tao’s physique grew stronger, the couple unlocked more new routines than in the past decade.
After a lingering long kiss, Jiang Tao, finally satisfied, let go of Xu Li and picked up the clothes she had placed on the bedside table to change into.
“By the way, Lili, do you know a girl named Jiao Jingtong who lives upstairs?”
While eating breakfast, Jiang Tao thought of the first piece of intelligence that refreshed at midnight, looked at Xu Li, and asked.
Xu Sha put down her chopsticks and quickly answered, “Brother-in-law, why are you asking about Jingtong? We’re high school classmates.”
Xu Li added, “Yes, Jingtong and Shasha are classmates. When they were studying, she often came to my house to play.”
“Jingtong is a good girl, with a good personality, beautiful, and very filial to her parents. Shasha, why don’t you learn more from her.”
Mother-in-law Du Yongmei only praised Jiao Jingtong.
“I know, I know, I’ll learn, isn’t it okay if I learn!”
Xu Sha continued to eat with a speechless expression.
Since high school, Jiao Jingtong had always been the “child from another family” that her mother constantly compared her to.
In terms of height, appearance, or academic results, Xu Sha was always overshadowed by Jiao Jingtong.
“Husband, why are you asking about Jingtong?”
Xu Li looked at her husband with some confusion.
She trusted Jiang Tao completely, knowing he definitely didn’t have any ill intentions.
“Didn’t Jiao Jingtong win the women’s championship in this health run?”
“I feel this girl has a lot of potential, she’s a good prospect.”
“If cultivated properly, she might achieve better results in the future and create greater profits.”
Jiang Tao hid nothing and directly stated his thoughts.
“Brother-in-law, you want to recruit Jingtong into our company?”
After hearing Jiang Tao’s words, Xu Sha instantly grasped his intentions.
“Yes, that’s what I was thinking.”
“For the company to grow and become strong, I alone am definitely not enough.”
“Recruiting more excellent talent is very necessary.”
Jiang Tao’s expression was calm and composed; what he said was also his true thoughts.
With the intelligence support from the Daily Intelligence System.
And the Bole skill assisting him in discovering outstanding talents with great potential.
In the future, Jiang’s Entertainment Company would undoubtedly achieve brilliant results in the industry.
“She’s currently a sports teacher with a stable position at Ping County High School. I wonder if she’ll be easy to poach.”
Xu Sha shared some of Jiao Jingtong’s personal information that she knew with her brother-in-law.
“Heh, as long as the salary and benefits are right, there’s no one we can’t poach.”
Jiang Tao smiled, confident in his plan to poach Jiao Jingtong. He was willing to offer a high salary to excellent talent.
Xu Li said, “Then after we finish eating, Shasha and I can go up with you. Jingtong’s home is on the 23rd floor.”
Jiang Tao smiled, “Okay, with you two as acquaintances, it will be easier to talk.”
After about half an hour, when everyone finished breakfast, Xu Li and Xu Sha accompanied Jiang Tao to the door of room 2304 upstairs.
It happened to be Saturday today, so Jiao Jingtong didn’t have to go to school for work.
Knock, knock, knock—
Xu Sha stepped forward and knocked on the room door.
“Who is it?”
Click~
The room door opened, and a middle-aged woman with permed curly hair, wearing an orange pajama set, appeared at the doorway.
“Lili, Shasha? And, is this Lili’s husband? Come in, come in quickly.”
Upon seeing Jiang Tao and the others standing at the door, Cao Huifang’s face immediately broke into a warm smile. She moved aside to invite them in.
“Good morning, Aunt Cao.”
“Good morning, Aunt Cao. Sorry to disturb you, we’re really sorry.”
After exchanging pleasantries with Cao Huifang, Xu Sha and Xu Li entered the room.
Jiang Tao followed closely behind, his gaze quickly scanning the layout of the room.
The layout of Jiao Jingtong’s apartment was exactly the same as Xu Li’s, and the area was also the same, but the decoration style was vastly different.
Xu Li’s home leaned more towards a modern minimalist style, with silver-white as the main color.
Jiao Jingtong’s home leaned more towards classical, with auspicious red everywhere inside.
Red wooden doors and door frames.
The wine cabinet separating the dining room and living room was also made of rosewood.
Of course, these were certainly just imitation rosewood, ordinary wood, not real rosewood.
“Shasha and Lili are here. Oh, and this must be Lili’s capable husband!”
Jiao Jiankang, sitting on the sofa in the living room, also stood up from the sofa with a smiling face after seeing Jiang Tao and the others enter. He warmly greeted them.
Jiang Tao was now a celebrity in the building where Xu Li and her family lived.
Everyone in this building knew that the Xu family’s son-in-law had become successful.
He drove a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon, owned several houses in the capital city, and had moved the entire Xu family to the capital city to enjoy blessings.
Everyone envied the Xu family!
“Uncle Jiao, stop teasing me. What capabilities do I have? I’m just an ordinary person.”
Jiang Tao smiled politely and greeted Jiao Jiankang, his tone calm and sincere, showing no arrogance.
Jiao Jiankang and his wife had a very good first impression of Jiang Tao!
Originally, they had thought that with Jiang Tao’s great abilities, he might show some sense of superiority when facing ordinary people like them.
After actually meeting the legendary “capable son-in-law of the Xu family,” they felt like they had lived as neighbors in the building for many years.
“Good morning, Uncle Jiao. Isn’t Jingtong home?”
After greeting Jiao Jiankang, Xu Li directly steered the conversation towards their target, Jiao Jingtong.
“That girl Jingtong went out running early this morning. What time is it, and she’s still not back!”
“Lili, do you need to see Jingtong? I’ll call her right away and tell her to come back quickly.”
As Cao Huifang spoke and was about to take out her phone to call her daughter, a series of knocks suddenly sounded at the door.
“Alright, speak of the devil, it must be Tongtong! I’ll go open the door for her.”
Hearing the familiar knocking, Cao Huifang turned to the door and pulled it open with a click.
The moment the door opened, Jiao Jingtong’s hand, about to knock again, was still suspended in mid-air.
“I’ve told you many times, take your keys when you go out, but you never listen. You always make me open the door for you.”
“Quickly, quickly, Shasha and your sister Lili are here to see you.”
Cao Huifang chided her daughter softly as she ushered her inside.
“Shasha, Sister Lili, Mr. Jiang! What brings you here!”
As soon as Jiao Jingtong entered, she saw the three uninvited guests inside and her face immediately lit up with a joyous smile.
Especially when she saw Jiang Tao was also there, the admiration in her eyes was undeniable!
As fellow running enthusiasts, they naturally felt a sense of kinship with like-minded runners.
“What, you don’t welcome us?”
Xu Sha blinked and playfully teased her old classmate.
“No, no, how could we not welcome you! Of course, a warm welcome!”
Jiao Jingtong smiled and stepped forward, looking sincerely at the three of them.
It was evident that she was genuinely happy and welcomed the three to her home, not just being polite.
“Sit, sit, everyone sit down, let’s chat when we’re seated.”
Jiao Jiankang invited everyone to sit down again and offered Jiang Tao a cigarette.
While Xu Sha and Xu Li were chatting with Jiao Jingtong, Jiang Tao used the Bole skill to confirm Jiao Jingtong’s talent again.
【Name】: Jiao Jingtong
【Talent】: Long-distance running
【Career Development Direction】: Professional athlete, full-time sports streamer.
Indeed!
The results observed by the Bole skill still indicated Jiao Jingtong’s talent in running!
With both System Brother and Bole skill as safeguards, Jiang Tao was even more confident about recruiting Jiao Jingtong.
Jiao Jingtong winning first place in the women’s group of the health run also proved herself in action.
“I have other things to attend to this morning, so I won’t beat around the bush, Jingtong.”
“I run an MCN agency in the capital city and would like to sign you as a full-time sports streamer for our company. Are you interested?”
“After deducting the Five Insurances and One Fund from your base salary, I can guarantee you’ll receive at least 15K per month after tax.”
“Later, once the account is up and running, you will also receive a certain percentage of the revenue from live-streaming sales.”
After a brief chat, Jiang Tao got straight to the point and laid out his offer to Jiao Jingtong.
Hearing the treatment Jiang Tao offered, Jiao Jingtong and her parents, though tempted, showed signs of considerable hesitation.
Although Jiao Jingtong’s current salary was not high, after deducting the Five Insurances and One Fund, her monthly take-home pay was less than 4,000 yuan.
However, the profession of a formal, tenured teacher was relatively stable, considered a “iron rice bowl.”
When she retired in the future, she would receive a very substantial pension, ensuring a certain level of security in her old age.
Jiang Tao offered Jiao Jingtong a monthly salary of 15K to work in the capital city.
One month’s salary was more than Jiao Jingtong’s salary for an entire quarter now.
Moreover, this was just the base salary; there would be commissions later.
The only thing that worried Jiao Jingtong and her parents was whether this job could be long-term.
What if she resigned from school and switched to Jiang Tao’s company, only for it to go bankrupt due to poor management after a few months?
Or what if she couldn’t continue working for other reasons?
Although Jiang Tao’s salary offer was very high, compared to the profession of a school teacher, there were too many uncertainties.
“Jiao Jingtong, I think your talent is good, and your potential is great.”
“I will provide you with better training conditions and more time to improve yourself.”
“In the future, you will definitely achieve more remarkable results in the sport of running.”
“Do you want to be a good sports teacher, or do you want to be a professional runner who constantly challenges herself and breaks her own limits?”
Jiang Tao looked at Jiao Jingtong, patiently waiting for her reply.
“Brother Jiang, I…”
Jiao Jingtong looked at Jiang Tao, her hesitant gaze gradually becoming fiery and determined.
Being a sports teacher was just a profession she took up to support herself and make a living.
In Jiao Jingtong’s heart, her love for running had never extinguished.
The school track felt like a giant cage to her.
Naturally, she yearned more for the vast tracks and arenas outside!
“After joining our company, you can arrange your daily training yourself.”
“I will specially allocate 10,000 yuan per month for you to purchase and update your sports equipment.”
“For marathon races all over the country, as long as you want to participate and get selected, you can run whichever race you choose.”
“All travel expenses will be covered by the company.”
The final conditions thrown out by Jiang Tao were absolutely game-changing for a runner!
“Brother Jiang! I am willing to join your company!”
Jiao Jingtong, who had been hesitant, instantly made up her mind!
She could do what she loved every day, complete her work, and earn money.
It was practically a dream job!
Jiang Tao smiled, “From now on, you’re part of our company.”
“Hehe, from now on we’re colleagues, Tongtong~”
Xu Sha winked at Jiao Jingtong with a smile; she was also a contracted streamer of Jiangshi Entertainment Co., Ltd.
“Then please take care of me in the future.”
Jiao Jingtong also smiled at Xu Sha, filled with anticipation for her new job.
Jiang Tao gave his final instructions:
“Jingtong, please handle your matters at the school first. Once everything is settled, you can report to the company for work.”
“Yes, Manager Jiang! I will report as soon as possible!”
Jiao Jingtong looked at Jiang Tao, having a very good impression of her new boss.
After discussing work matters, Jiang Tao and the others stayed at Jiao Jingtong’s home for a while longer before bidding farewell and heading downstairs.
Ring ring ring—
The moment Jiang Tao stepped out of the elevator, his phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw the caller ID was Sister Bai.
