Chapter 83: New Intelligence: The Accountant Who Embezzled Public Funds For Male Escorts And The Flying Pig Popcorn Bucket
A reunion after a long separation.
The couple seemed to have endless things to talk about.
They chatted until 12 o’clock at night.
Jiang Tao listened as Xu Li chattered on about their plan for the next day.
His mind moved, and he opened the interface of the Daily Intelligence System.
The azure virtual interface in front of him was only visible to him.
There was no need to worry about Xu Li discovering anything unusual.
【 Daily Intelligence 01】: You had contact with Du Ennan, the manager of Wanxiang Hui’s Finance Department, yesterday, and obtained related intelligence—
Du Ennan has currently embezzled 2.08 million yuan of company funds to seek pleasure and hire male escorts at bars.
Remind Du Ennan to cut her losses promptly and you can receive a New Year’s Red Envelope of 88,888 yuan.
【 Daily Intelligence 02】: You ran into Wang Xiaohong at KFC yesterday and obtained related intelligence—
Wang Xiaohong’s elder sister, Wang Xiaobai, has brought 10,000 units of the Nezha: The Devil Child Has Come Ashore merchandise, the Flying Pig Popcorn Bucket, as spot inventory for sales work in Ping County.
The Flying Pig Popcorn Bucket will increase in price by over 1000% within the next week. It is recommended to buy all the spot inventory from Wang Xiaobai at （ 20 yuan/unit ） and resell them at a high price when the opportunity arises.
…
Seeing the first piece of intelligence updated today, Jiang Tao couldn’t help but click his tongue.
He had met with Du Ennan mentioned in the intelligence yesterday.
Du Ennan was in her fifties.
Her appearance was the kind that looked dignified at first glance, giving one the feeling of a virtuous wife and loving mother.
Truly, you can know a person’s face but not their heart!
This elder sister was so bold as to embezzle over 2 million yuan of company funds for pleasure and male escorts!
This is already considered malicious embezzlement of company property, and the amount is substantial.
Moreover, the more than 2 million yuan that has already been spent is likely gone forever.
Seeing this piece of intelligence, Jiang Tao felt sorry for Du Ennan.
That’s over 2 million yuan!
Money that many people can’t earn in a lifetime, squandered like that.
This matter is different from the child’s situation, not as urgent.
Coupled with the late hour and Xu Li’s presence, Jiang Tao didn’t rush to contact Du Ennan.
He would find an opportunity to tell her this information tomorrow.
Since the lost over 2 million yuan is difficult to recover, he would help her cut her losses in time!
After reading the first message, Jiang Tao turned the page to look at the second.
Seeing that the price of the popcorn bucket mentioned in the intelligence had a price increase of up to 1000%.
Jiang Tao’s heart fluttered with excitement again.
This thing was even more profitable than the Ultraman Hair Clip project!
The Ultraman Hair Clip only saw a surge in sales, but the price didn’t fluctuate much.
After all, it was just a small hair clip that unexpectedly became popular because of Liu Tianxian, with no other added value.
However, the Flying Pig Popcorn Bucket mentioned in this intelligence is a derivative product of 《 Nezha 2》, and it has IP value.
Jiang Tao had naturally heard of this animation that had already gained a great reputation in the country.
《 Nezha 2》 is scheduled to premiere during the Spring Festival period, and many professional institutions have used their big data models to predict its box office.
The lowest prediction is 3.7 billion, and the highest is 6.5 billion!
The optimistic prediction of 《 Nezha 2》’s box office by big data models has also astounded people in the film industry.
If the highest box office prediction of 6.5 billion is taken.
《 Nezha 2》 will surpass the 5.775 billion box office record set by 《 The Battle at Lake Changjin 》, becoming the first film in Chinese film history to break the 6 billion yuan box office mark!
Combined with the 5 billion from the previous work, 《 Nezha: The Devil Child Has Come Ashore 》, it will create a Chinese film history miracle of “over 10 billion sold from 2 films.”
With the box office success, the topic of discussion will naturally become more and more frequent.
The sales of derivative products will soar, leading to a shortage and inevitable price increases.
It’s just…
Seeing the intelligence from System Brother mentioning a price increase of up to 1000%, Jiang Tao still felt it was a bit exaggerated.
1000%!
Ten times the profit!
However, System Brother never makes mistakes; that is beyond doubt.
The Flying Pig Popcorn Bucket, this project must be secured, and they will make a fortune!
“Ah, husband, you’re pinching me too hard.”
In his excitement, Old Jiang’s hands were rough as he kneaded the dough, causing Xu Li to glare at him with a coquettish pout.
After reading the intelligence, Jiang Tao continued to chat idly with Xu Li.
Finally, they had another 25-minute friendly match before falling asleep in each other’s arms.
The night passed uneventfully.
Jiang Tao slept until he woke up naturally.
Upon opening his eyes, he found that Xu Li was nowhere to be seen.
From the kitchen came the sound of a range hood and the aroma of stir-frying.
On the bedside table, the clean clothes Xu Li had given him were neatly laid out.
The warmth of home was something no high-end hotel outside could compare to.
Picking up his mobile phone from the nightstand, it was already 8:18 AM.
Jiang Tao pondered for a moment, then edited a WeChat message and sent it to Du Ennan.
As for the matter mentioned in the message, whether she believed it was up to her.
After sending the message to Du Ennan, Jiang Tao then put on his clothes and got out of bed.
“Husband, go wake up your daughter. We’re about to eat.”
As soon as Jiang Tao went out, he heard Xu Li issuing the task from the kitchen.
“Will do~”
Jiang Tao strode to his daughter’s room and successfully coaxed his “little cotton jacket” out of her warm quilt with a set of Barbie dolls.
Breakfast consisted of millet pumpkin porridge, several steamed bun slices coated in egg batter, and a plate of stir-fried cabbage.
Simple and warm.
After breakfast, Xu Li went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Jiang Xue, on the other hand, impatiently pulled Jiang Tao out, wanting to go for a drive.
As soon as they went outside, Jiang Tao saw more than a dozen young juniors from the village gathered outside, both male and female.
“Good morning, Uncle Tao! Are you going out?”
“Good morning, Uncle Tao.”
“Brother Tao.”
“Uncle Tao! Your car is so cool! We just took some photos, don’t worry, we didn’t touch your car!”
Seeing Jiang Tao, a group of young men and women greeted him with fawning smiles.
“Take pictures, take as many as you want, I’ll drive after you’re done.”
Jiang Tao said with a smile, showing great tolerance towards the village children; who hasn’t been young before?
“We’re done taking pictures, Uncle Tao, you can use the car now.”
“Let’s go, let’s go, goodbye Brother Tao.”
The group of youngsters was sensible and, seeing that Jiang Tao was about to drive, they left tactfully.
“Dad, do they also really like our new car?”
Jiang Tao chuckled at the proud look on Xiao Xue’s little face as she spoke.
“Yes, they like our car too. Let’s go, get in.”
Jiang Tao chuckled, holding his “little cotton jacket’s” hand as he walked to the car and opened the door for her.
Xiao Xue kicked her little legs and got into the car, sitting in the soft, comfortable back seat and excitedly touching everything.
Jiang Tao drove with Jiang Xue for over half an hour.
When they returned home, Xu Li had already changed her clothes and applied a little light makeup.
After the friendly matches last night, Xu Li was radiant and alluring, like a delicate rose.
She vividly embodied the saying that a person can be more beautiful than a flower.
Jiang Tao pointed at Xu Li and chuckled, “Xiao Xue, look quickly, a fairy has fallen from the sky into our home~”
Xiao Xue’s bright, watery eyes darted around, and she clapped her hands happily, laughing:
“Mom is a fairy, then I’m a little fairy, yay~ I’m a little fairy! I’m a little fairy~”
“Uh… let’s not be a ‘little fairy,’ you’ll always be Dad’s thoughtful little cotton jacket.”
Jiang Tao rubbed his forehead, speechless.
He now felt a chill down his spine whenever he heard the words “little fairy,” as if he might be fleeced at any moment.
Xu Li watched the father and daughter playfully tease each other and was also amused, giggling heartily as a feeling of happiness flowed through her.
