Chapter 79: Another Day Carried By System Brother!
Wanxiang Hui Underground Parking Lot.
The same staff member who led Jiang Tao upstairs before guided the way.
“Mr. Jiang, this is your beloved car. We’ve filled it up with gas, so you can just drive it.”
The staff member led Jiang Tao to a black Mercedes-Benz GLS that already had its license plates attached, a respectful and somewhat fawning smile on his face.
Others only knew that Jiang Tao had won the usage rights to this car for three years.
But she had been eavesdropping outside General Manager Du’s office the entire time and knew that Jiang Tao already owned this car!
Although she didn’t know the hidden story behind this inner strength, the result was clearly more important!
This handsome-looking elder brother in front of her clearly had a close relationship with their General Manager Du!
Perhaps…
this lucky draw also had some inside story that she, as a low-level employee, didn’t know.
The more the female employee thought about it, the more likely this possibility seemed, and the more it made sense.
“Thanks.”
After thanking the staff member, Jiang Tao’s gaze fell on the Mercedes-Benz GLS that now belonged to him.
Its massive body was like a mobile castle on the road.
The high-end black paint, under the dim light of the underground parking lot, exuded a deep luster, as if it could swallow all gazes.
The three-pointed star emblem on the front of the car shone under the light, as if proclaiming its extraordinary lineage.
The curves of the car body were smooth and powerful, like a lion poised to strike, ready to display its might at any moment.
Standing next to it, one could feel an invisible aura, the luxury and nobility that had been refined by time.
From now on, this Mercedes-Benz GLS was his!
Beep!
Jiang Tao pressed the car key, and the daytime running lights lit up, like a ferocious beast opening its eyes, exuding even more dominance.
After the joy and excitement subsided, Jiang Tao took a deep breath through his nose, trying to calm himself down as much as possible before turning to look at the staff member who had brought him.
“Thanks, beautiful. Everything’s fine here now, you can go back to your work. I troubled you today.”
“Okay, I’ll head back then. I wish Mr. Jiang a pleasant drive and also wish you a Happy New Year in advance.”
The staff member politely smiled and bid farewell to Jiang Tao before turning and walking towards the direction of the elevator.
After seeing off the staff member, Jiang Tao opened the car door and got in.
At this moment, his mood was inexplicably excited, like a groom entering the bridal chamber.
From a 4.2-meter truck to an old used Audi, and now to this Mercedes-Benz GLS!
It had only been about ten days since he found the Daily Intelligence until today.
He was now driving a luxury car worth millions!
You have to admit, System Brother’s intelligence was effective!
Jiang Tao’s current feeling was like being carried by a super expert in a game.
Without System Brother, he probably wouldn’t have had the chance to get close to his dream car in this lifetime.
After admiring his beloved car, Jiang Tao pressed the one-touch start button.
The low and powerful roar of the Mercedes-Benz GLS was particularly pleasant in the underground parking lot.
Sitting in the car, Jiang Tao felt as if its heart was accelerating.
It felt as though he had become a part of its heart, integrated into its power.
This was a feeling he couldn’t experience with his 4.2-meter truck or his old Audi.
“With the Mercedes, there’s no need to keep that old used Audi anymore.”
“I still have to go through the transfer and registration after going back, it’s too much trouble.”
After experiencing the brand new Mercedes-Benz GLS, Jiang Tao instantly felt less impressed with the old Audi.
He immediately took out his mobile phone and contacted Li Ming from the used car dealership, telling him about his idea of returning the car.
Li Ming was definitely unwilling to accept the return.
Who would be willing to give up profit that was already in their grasp?
However, with the connection to Zhang Bo, Li Ming was a bit more patient with Jiang Tao.
If he absolutely had to return it, it wasn’t impossible, but a usage fee of 1000 yuan per day would be charged.
Jiang Tao thought it wasn’t expensive and readily agreed, telling him to send someone to Wanxiang Hui to pick up the car.
He didn’t buy the old Audi back then just because it was old, but because of the four gold bars hidden in its car door.
Now that he had the gold bars and his brand new Mercedes-Benz GLS,
there was no great use for the old car, so it was better to return it and recoup some funds.
While waiting for someone from the used car dealership to arrive.
Jiang Tao moved the New Year Goods from the old Audi’s trunk to the Mercedes-Benz GLS’s trunk.
After finishing, Jiang Tao got back into the Mercedes-Benz GLS.
While waiting, he started thinking about how to explain this car to Xu Li.
For an ordinary worker earning a few thousand a month, suddenly buying a luxury car worth over a million was indeed difficult to explain.
“How about I tell her it was from a lucky draw, with only 3 years of usage rights?”
After thinking it over again, Jiang Tao felt that this excuse was quite reasonable.
Moreover, when he won the Grand Prize Ticket before, he had also taken photos, which could serve as evidence.
“I’ll just try to fool her for a while. My silly wife probably doesn’t have that many tricks up her sleeve to think about other things.”
“After the Spring Festival, when I bring Xu Li and our daughter to the Capital City, I’ll have to find a way to change my job and identity.”
“I can’t keep hauling goods at the used car market every day.”
“What kind of new identity should I use…”
Sitting in the car, Jiang Tao’s mind raced, contemplating his future path.
Currently, his various assets combined put his net worth close to 2 million.
He no longer cared about the salary from hauling goods.
If not hauling goods, what else should he do?
Jiang Tao was still a bit lost at this point, without a clear direction.
However, he was too lazy to waste brain cells on these matters.
The Spring Festival was approaching, so he would focus on happily celebrating the holiday first.
Perhaps an idea would pop into his head at some point.
Sometimes, things you can’t figure out by thinking hard can be suddenly understood when you’re completely relaxed and having fun, as if struck by inspiration.
Jiang Tao stayed in the car for about forty minutes before a master from Li Ming’s used car dealership arrived, fashionably late.
The master thoroughly inspected and verified the Audi A6.
After the inspection passed, he issued a pickup receipt to Jiang Tao and drove the car away.
Li Ming was also prompt in refunding Jiang Tao; by the time the master had probably not even returned, he had already transferred the money to Jiang Tao.
In 3 days, 120,000 turned into 117,000.
He lost 3,000 in cash but gained 4 gold bars of 100g each.
This meant Jiang Tao bought 400g of gold bars for 3,000 yuan, which was equivalent to 7.5 yuan per gram!
It seemed like a loss of 3,000, but in reality, it was a huge profit!
Including the more than 110,000 that Li Ming had just transferred, Jiang Tao’s deposit balance returned to over 280,000.
He was too lazy to go back upstairs to buy gold again.
With the little money he had on hand, even if he bought all gold, he wouldn’t make much profit.
Keeping more cash on hand would prevent him from having to borrow from old Z if a profitable business opportunity arose.
