Chapter 6: Transaction Successful, 8000 Yuan Obtained!
Jiang Tao did not hesitate and quickly walked towards the girl.
As he got closer, he saw clearly that this girl was truly beautiful!
Delicate features, fair and tender skin, a tall figure, and she dressed well too.
She wore a long white down jacket on top and tight dark blue jeans with a pair of black Martin boots on the bottom.
Even though she was dressed warmly for the dead of winter, her long legs still looked slender.
Her entire outfit looked simple yet fashionable.
However, no matter how beautiful she was, it had nothing to do with him, a married middle-aged man.
“Hello, excuse me, are you He Jing?”
Jiang Tao stopped in front of the girl, looked directly into her eyes, and politely asked.
At his age, he had passed the stage of being unable to move when seeing a beautiful woman.
“It’s me, are you Mr. Jiang Tao?”
He Jing had already noticed Jiang Tao walking towards her. She smiled and greeted him, her voice clear and sweet.
“It’s me, I brought the watch, you can take a look.”
Jiang Tao didn’t waste words with He Jing. He directly reached into the inner pocket of his down jacket and took out a small wristwatch with a red strap, handing it to He Jing.
“Okay, let me see…”
He Jing extended a slender, jade-like hand and took the wristwatch from Jiang Tao.
First, she examined the watch face from the front, looking at it from various angles for a while.
Then, she flipped it over to look at the numbers engraved on the back, which represented the model and manufacturing date.
After that, she inspected the watch strap.
Watching He Jing inspect the watch, Jiang Tao felt like an elementary school student watching a teacher check his homework, afraid the teacher would find some fault.
If there was any slip-up that caused the transaction to fail…
“No, no, it won’t! The intelligence system said this watch is worth over 13,000 yuan, there definitely won’t be any problems!”
Jiang Tao cast aside the jumbled thoughts in his mind, stopped overthinking, and quietly waited for He Jing’s inspection results.
“Mr. Jiang, your watch looks quite new and is well-preserved. Why are you selling it?”
While inspecting the watch, He Jing casually chatted, trying to gauge Jiang Tao’s intentions.
It was evident that she really liked this watch; her eyes sparkled with affection for it.
“It was a gift I bought for my girlfriend for Christmas this year. We broke up, and she returned it to me, so I thought I’d sell it to recoup some losses.”
On his way over, Jiang Tao had already prepared his words and his answer was flawless.
“Do you have proof of purchase?”
“I bought it with cash at the shop, and I used the invoice for reimbursement.”
“Oh…”
He Jing only asked a couple of probing questions and didn’t delve deeper.
She observed that Jiang Tao looked honest and upright, not like a pickpocket or a swindler.
After a thorough inspection, finding no fault, He Jing looked at Jiang Tao and said with a smile:
“The condition of this watch is excellent, and the quality is also fine. I’ll take it.”
“Pleasant cooperation!”
Jiang Tao’s expression seemed calm, but he was thrilled inside!
8,000 yuan was about to be in his hands, equivalent to his salary for over a month!
They didn’t waste any more time and briefly discussed issues like repair and returns before adding each other on WeChat.
“Huh? Mr. Jiang, are you also from Ping County?”
After adding him as a friend, He Jing noticed that Jiang Tao’s WeChat background image was a landmark of Ping County.
A large stone engraved with the big red characters “Ping County.”
He Jing was greatly surprised.
Noticing that she said “also,” Jiang Tao asked curiously:
“Miss He, are you also from Ping County?”
“Yes! Yes! I am! I didn’t expect to meet a fellow villager here!”
With the connection of being fellow villagers, He Jing immediately felt more at ease with Jiang Tao and became more confident about this transaction!
“Since we’ve met this time, Brother Jiang, please don’t call me Miss He anymore. Call me Xiao He, and I’ll call you Brother Jiang.”
“Alright, alright. If you ever need anything in the future, don’t hesitate to ask.”
While Jiang Tao politely responded to He Jing with a smile, he was also secretly wondering.
Could this beautiful young woman be trying to get close to him to haggle the price!
“Okay, Brother Jiang! I’ll transfer the money to you!”
He Jing hadn’t actually considered haggling with Jiang Tao and promptly transferred 8,000 yuan to him on WeChat.
“It’s coming through.”
Jiang Tao didn’t stand on ceremony with He Jing and directly clicked to receive payment.
“Yes, yes! Uh, Brother Jiang, I’ve arranged to go shopping with friends, so I’ll be going now.”
The transaction was complete. He Jing gestured towards the subway station entrance, indicating she was leaving.
“Okay, take your time. I won’t see you out.”
“Okay, Brother Jiang, goodbye.”
He Jing smiled and waved goodbye to Jiang Tao, then turned and passed through the subway turnstiles, disappearing with the flow of people exiting the station.
“Made 8,000 yuan, and met a young fellow villager, not bad, not bad. This trip today was definitely worth it!”
Jiang Tao glanced at the payment record on his mobile phone again and contentedly put it in his pocket.
Afterwards, he re-entered the subway station to transfer to the train heading back towards Zhuxinzhuang.
At 11 AM, Jiang Tao exited the subway at Zhuxinzhuang Subway Station.
He waited for about ten minutes outside the subway station before finally catching a bus heading to Xiao Shahe Village, where he rented his place.
He arrived back at Xiao Shahe just in time for lunch.
Having earned 8,000 yuan from selling the watch today, Jiang Tao indulged himself and ordered two dishes at a small restaurant on the street to improve his meal.
One dish was Stewed Chicken with Mushrooms, and the other was Boiled Sliced Pork in Hot Chili Oil, served with a large bowl of rice.
He truly enjoyed today’s lunch.
His truck was still at the auto repair shop for maintenance and wouldn’t be ready until four or five in the afternoon, so Jiang Tao decided not to go out for work today.
Full and satisfied, he went straight home for a nap.
He slept until past 4 PM, and Jiang Tao was woken up by his mobile phone, which he had left on his bedside table.
He picked up the phone and saw that the incoming call was labeled “SF Express.”
“Hello…”
“Yes, it’s me.”
“Okay, okay! Wait for me at that supermarket, I’ll be right there!”
After a brief conversation on the phone, Jiang Tao hung up and hurriedly put on his clothes to go out.
In five minutes, Jiang Tao rushed to the entrance of the XX Supermarket where he had arranged to meet the delivery driver.
As expected, a delivery man in an SF Express uniform was already waiting there.
“Sorry to keep you waiting. I’m Jiang Tao; you called earlier saying there was a package for me.”
Jiang Tao stopped in front of the delivery driver and greeted him with a smile.
“Hello, Mr. Jiang, this is your package. Please sign for it.”
The driver didn’t waste any time with Jiang Tao and took a package from his van, handing it to Jiang Tao.
After receiving the package, Jiang Tao quickly signed his name as the recipient.
Having signed for the express delivery, Jiang Tao bid farewell to the delivery driver and turned to walk towards the dormitory building where he rented his place.
Back home, he excitedly opened the package.
Indeed!
Inside was the iPhone 15 mobile phone he had won by scanning a QR code last night!
He opened the phone box and only felt relieved after seeing the actual phone.
He powered it on, checked it to ensure there were no issues, and put the phone back in the box.
When he first scanned the code and won the phone, Jiang Tao’s immediate thought was to sell it for money!
However…
After he subsequently found a more expensive wristwatch through the intelligence system, he changed his mind.
It would be nice to give this phone to his wife as a New Year’s gift!
