Chapter 57: Director Tang, You Wouldn’t Want The Bmw X5 Incident To Be Known, Right?
Ring ring ring—
It was 7:30 the next morning.
Jiang Tao was woken by the sound of his phone ringing.
Groggily, he picked up his phone and saw the contact name was “Third Sister.”
With a swipe of his finger, he answered the call and casually placed it by his bedside, closing his eyes to continue snoozing.
From the other end of the line, Jiang Bing’s voice, as if she’d had a shot of adrenaline, sounded excited.
“Second Brother! Can you believe it? Our Ultraman Hair Clips sold out in one day!”
“I can believe it.”
“A total of 10,248 pieces, all sold out, not a single one left!”
“Well done.”
“We’re amazing! We made a fortune, Second Brother!!”
“Yes, very amazing.”
“Hey, Second Brother, your reaction is a bit too calm! Give me some reaction!”
“How much do you need?”
“Tch! Boring! I’m not talking to you anymore, I need to arrange shipping quickly. Over 4,000 orders, incredible! Bye!”
“Don’t hang up, don’t hang up, when will the money arrive?”
Jiang Tao opened his eyes and sat up in bed, asking the question he cared about most.
Jiang Bing said, “That’s hard to say. It could be five or six days, or as long as half a month.”
“Alright, alright, you keep it then. When it’s all in, give me my share. Is there enough for express delivery fees? If not, I’ll transfer you some first.”
“It’s enough, it’s enough, you don’t need to worry about these things, Second Brother. Just wait to get your share! The only regret is that it probably won’t all arrive before the Spring Festival.”
“It’s okay. It won’t stop me from giving you a big red envelope during the Spring Festival.”
“Hehe, thank you, Second Brother~ You’re my real brother!”
“Isn’t that obvious! Alright, you get busy, I’m hanging up.”
After ending the call with Third Sister, Jiang Tao stretched. Just as he was about to get dressed and get out of bed, another call came in.
Ring ring ring—
He saw the contact name displayed was “Wife.”
Jiang Tao raised an eyebrow. Had his silly wife finally remembered to report the good news about winning the lottery!
“Hello, Wife. It’s early in the morning, what good news do you have to…”
“Wuwuwu, Husband, I’m sorry, I, I lost that lottery ticket from yesterday, wuwu…”
“I was too careless, too stupid, scold me, wuwu…”
Before Jiang Tao could finish speaking, he heard Xu Li’s choked sobs from the other end of the line.
“Wife, don’t cry, don’t cry. It’s just a lottery ticket, it’s fine if it’s lost. We’re not that desperate.”
Hearing Xu Li cry, Jiang Tao forgot all about the lottery ticket and quickly comforted her.
“Husband, you should scold me a few times. If you don’t scold me, I’ll feel even worse.”
“That was 30,000 yuan… that’s enough for our family’s pocket money for a year.”
It was clear that Xu Li was genuinely upset and blaming herself.
Xu Li hadn’t slept all night.
In the early hours of this morning, around three or four o’clock, she had taken a flashlight and retraced the route she had cycled yesterday.
Naturally, she hadn’t found it.
After endless self-reproach, she finally called Jiang Tao to admit her mistake.
Xu Li had no idea that her husband had already bound with the legendary System and was making a fortune with the System Brother’s assistance.
In her mind, her husband was still the small driver who worked hard every day, earning a monthly salary of seven or eight thousand.
The recent earnings were just due to good luck, and after the good fortune passed, life would return to normal.
30,000 yuan was almost one-third of Jiang Tao’s annual income!
Xu Li naturally felt she had committed a grave error and was unforgivable!
“It’s alright, it’s just 30,000 yuan. We can earn more if it’s gone. My wife is the most important thing in the world!”
“By the way, Wife, I have some good news that I didn’t get a chance to tell you.”
“My Third Sister and I…”
To alleviate Xu Li’s self-blame over losing the lottery ticket, Jiang Tao forcefully changed the subject.
He confessed to Xu Li about his cooperation with Jiang Bing to sell Ultraman Hair Clips.
When Xu Li heard that the two siblings had sold over 200,000 yuan worth of hair clips in two days, and her husband would get over 100,000 yuan!
Such great news did manage to lift Xu Li’s mood just a tiny bit.
After a call that lasted over half an hour, Jiang Tao finally managed to comfort Xu Li.
After hanging up, he called his Old Mother and asked her to bring their daughter Jiang Xue to her house for the day so Xu Li could rest.
Around this time before the Spring Festival, the Old Mother wasn’t going out to work anymore and was happy to help look after her granddaughter.
After arranging things for his wife and daughter, Jiang Tao glanced at his phone and saw it was already 8:30 AM.
“Alas, what is fated to be will be, and what is not, one should not force!”
“The 30,000 yuan I almost had has flown away again!”
Although Jiang Tao also felt a pang of regret about the 30,000 yuan, he felt even more concerned for his wife.
The event had already happened; any further complaints or regrets were useless.
He could only console himself as if he had never won the prize.
“This bag of tea is also 30,000, which can just cover the loss…”
Jiang Tao put the tea that Sun Xiao Bao had given him yesterday into a shopping bag and left.
While eating breakfast at a breakfast shop in the urban village.
Jiang Tao chatted with Wang Lianming on WeChat, asking for Director Tang Yonghua’s phone number.
About ten minutes later, when Jiang Tao finished breakfast, Wang Lianming sent Tang Yonghua’s phone number to Jiang Tao.
“138****”
Jiang Tao directly copied and pasted the phone number Wang Lianming sent, saving it to his contacts under the name “Director Tang Yonghua.”
After obtaining information about Tang Yonghua last night, Jiang Tao had already thought of how to use this information to help Wang Lianming and his wife.
So, Jiang Tao edited a message on his phone, clicked send, and sent it directly to Tang Yonghua.
…
9 AM.
The Capital City, Jishuitan Hospital, Oncology Department Director’s Office.
After attending the morning meeting and making rounds in the wards with a few attending physicians, Tang Yonghua returned to his office.
Ding dong!
As soon as he sat down in the chair behind his desk, his phone in his pocket beeped, indicating a new message.
Tang Yonghua didn’t rush to check the message. He first picked up the tea on his desk and took a few sips, then slowly took out his phone to check.
“Director Tang, you wouldn’t want people to know about the red BMW X5, would you?”
Dong!!!
Seeing the content of this message from an unknown number, the teacup in Tang Yonghua’s hand slipped from his grasp and fell onto the desktop with a loud “dong”!
He felt his body stiffen, his palms began to sweat, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
His heartbeat pounded like a drum, with his heart rate instantly soaring to one hundred fifty-six.
His wide eyes were filled with fear and unease.
His mind kept replaying his previous wrong decisions.
Regret washed over him like a tide, engulfing him.
His once ruddy complexion instantly turned pale, his lips trembling slightly.
Undoubtedly, if the matter of the BMW X5 were reported to the hospital’s disciplinary inspection and supervision department.
Tang Yonghua’s position as Director would be over, and his career would be finished!
Tang Yonghua and the supplier were part of a community of interest.
He believed this matter could absolutely not have been betrayed by the supplier.
“Who are you, and what do you want.”
Tang Yonghua’s fingers trembled as he edited a message and clicked send.
After the initial tension, he realized that since the other party had initiated communication, they probably didn’t intend to kill him.
After an exchange of messages, Tang Yonghua and the mysterious person on the other end exchanged seven or eight messages.
After ending the conversation, the tense expression on Tang Yonghua’s face relaxed a bit, and the weight on his mind finally lifted.
He first deleted all the chat records, then opened the work software on his computer and found He Fang’s name.
