Chapter 395 - 184: Special Banknotes, Mahjong Dice, and the Mother-in-law Expecting Her Third Child!
Also, Jiang Tao gently reminded Old Du.
He hinted that his Vacheron Constantin was counterfeit, but it was up to him to believe it or not.
This past week, Jiang Tao and Xu Li have been living quite a fulfilling life.
On the evening of March 30.
After finishing a game of cards, Xu Li snuggled up in Jiang Tao’s arms, her face showing a small expression of happiness and satisfaction.
"Honey, my mom wants Sasha to find a job here in Beijing. Can we help her out?"
"If she can have a stable job, my parents wouldn’t have to worry so much."
"They’ve asked friends and family to find about seven or eight jobs for Sasha, but none lasted long."
"Although she was a bit immature before, she’s my only sister. Can you forgive her?"
Xu Li softly traced circles on Jiang Tao’s belly with her delicate fingers, gently asking for Jiang Tao’s opinion.
In this household, although Jiang Tao lets her manage the money, the final say still rests with him.
Of course, the money she manages, in her eyes, is a small fortune, but compared to Jiang Tao’s little treasury, it’s quite meager.
If Jiang Tao decided not to help with the job, Xu Li would at most be a bit upset.
She wouldn’t blame him or get angry over it.
Xu Li cares deeply for her sister but isn’t obsessed with spoiling her.
For all major and minor decisions, Jiang Tao’s opinion remains paramount.
"Silly, there’s nothing I can’t forgive. Your sister is my sister too."
"You don’t think I’d get angry with a kid like Sasha, do you?"
Jiang Tao chuckled and gave Xu Li’s perky bottom a playful pat, shaking his head with a smile.
Whether during their humble beginnings or now with assets in the millions,
Jiang Tao has never fussed over his sister-in-law, always considering her like a child.
"My husband is so generous~ Mwah."
Xu Li leans in and gives him a big kiss on the cheek, feeling pure bliss inside after hearing Jiang Tao’s words.
While gently rubbing Xu Li’s smooth, jade-like back, Jiang Tao said:
"I’m planning to set up a live-streaming account for our food factory."
"Doesn’t Sasha often livestream on KwaiDou?"
"Plus, she has quite the gift of gab."
"Ask her tomorrow if she’d like to be a livestream sales host at our food factory."
"In terms of salary, a base of 10,000, and if she boosts sales, she can earn commission bonuses."
Jiang Tao has been observing Xu Sha with his [Bo Le] title these past days.
He found that girl’s eloquence quite impressive, making her the perfect fit for the live-stream selling industry.
Coincidentally, Jiang Tao has been planning on managing a livestream account for his company as well.
If the livestream account works out, they could employ dual-channel sales strategies, both online and offline, in the future.
And Xu Sha is perfectly suited for the live-stream selling industry.
Hiring Xu Sha into the company not only reassures Xu Li and her parents but also guides Xu Sha onto a suitable career path.
There’s a possibility it could even yield significant benefits for himself in the future.
Such a win-win situation naturally wouldn’t be compromised by any past minor disagreements Jiang Tao had with Xu Sha.
"Uh, honey, isn’t that salary a bit too high?"
Xu Li asked, slightly surprised, upon hearing the generous offer Jiang Tao proposed for her sister.
Xu Sha’s KwaiDou account only has about four to five thousand followers.
Each livestream only attracts about a dozen viewers, half of whom are friends joining for fun.
Honestly, Xu Li never saw any talent in her sister for live streaming.
Excluding the benefits, a guaranteed salary of 10,000 is hardly available even in their hometown, Ping County.
Even in their hometown’s city center, such a good job offer is hard to come by!
Xu Li felt Jiang Tao’s job offer for her sister was giving her major face.
She felt both touched and indescribably happy inside.
"I offer Third Brother a salary over 10,000. I can’t just favor one over the other, right?"
"Let your sister keep staying at the 62 Building."
"She can stay as long as she wants."
"Then, when your parents come to Beijing for vacation, they’ll have a place to stay."
"Honey, you’re the best! Marrying you is the best decision I’ve ever made."
Xu Li’s eyes turned red with emotion at Jiang Tao’s words, touching the softest part of her heart deeply.
Despite her sister’s past rudeness, he could repay her missteps with kindness. This is the husband she loves!
"Having such a beautiful, gentle, and considerate wife, I’m the one who’s truly blessed."
Jiang Tao chuckled, stroking Xu Li’s head, grateful for her unwavering support during his difficult days.
While holding her in his embrace, Jiang Tao activated [Sleep Mode] for Xu Li, and she fell asleep in less than three minutes.
The [Deep Sleep Mode] is as effective as ever, acting immediately.
Once Xu Li was asleep, Jiang Tao focused his thoughts, opened the system interface, and checked the day’s intel.
"After a week of bad luck, it’s about time some high-value intel came through!"
"Brother Shitou! Give me some strength here!"
Jiang Tao glanced at the seemingly ordinary "River Stone" on his bracelet and silently prayed.
[Today’s Intel 01]:
You had some interaction with Du Yongmei yesterday, and gathered the following intel—
Among the 1,000 pocket money Du Yongmei gave to Jiang Xue, one hundred-yuan note is a special item.
Once you obtain ownership, you can activate it and gain a random attribute!
...
"Brother Tongzi, Brother Shitou, finally something worthwhile again!"
Seeing the first piece of updated intel revealing a special item,
Jiang Tao clenched his fist with excitement!
Based on past experiences,
Whenever it’s a special item, the attribute isn’t likely to be disappointing upon activation!
Wealth-Attracting Golden Toad, salary card, Delicious Pickle Jar, Beiqi EU5, treadmill, holly tree...
These items are living examples.
Relying on the unique attributes of these activated special items,
Jiang Tao can now live his life leisurely, even if he decides to take it easy.
"A hundred-yuan note, turns out to be a special item too."
"These special items really encompass everything; anything can be possible!"
"I wonder what attribute this time might be activated?"
After reading the first piece of intel, Jiang Tao’s anticipation surged.
However, it was already late at night, and Jiang Xue was fast asleep.
He couldn’t possibly steal to obtain the ownership of that note; he had to outsmart her.
To truly gain its "ownership," Jiang Xue must willingly hand it over.
Jiang Tao focused, continued refreshing the intel, and glanced at the second piece.
[Today’s Intel 02]:
You had some interaction with Du Yongmei yesterday, and gathered the following intel—
Among the set of mahjong tiles Du Yongmei brought from home, one dice is a special item.
Once you obtain ownership, you can activate it to gain a random attribute!
...
"What’s going on, another special item?"
"And once again, it’s related to my mother-in-law!"
Upon seeing the second piece of updated intel,
Jiang Tao’s eyes widened!
Discovering two special items in one day, that’s quite lucky!
Could it be that heaven is compensating him for a week without discovering any high-value intel?
"Mahjong dice? Quite interesting."
"I just wonder what attribute this will unlock!"
Jiang Tao knew that his mother-in-law loves playing mahjong.
While traveling with the family to Beijing, besides a couple of changes of clothes, she even brought her favorite set of mahjong!
Three nights ago, Jiang Tao and Xu Li even accompanied his mother-in-law in a few rounds of mahjong.
However, without a hint from Brother Tongzi,
Even special items under one’s nose remain unnoticed.
Like the Wealth-Attracting Golden Toad, salary card, Beiqi EU5, and Body Building Treadmill Jiang Tao acquired before.
Each of those items originally had owners.
And they had been with their original owners for a long time.
But their original owners, unaware of their special nature, discarded or sold them.
Jiang Tao recognized these special items only with Brother Tongzi’s hints.
Without those hints, he too would have missed out on each special item.
"Tomorrow I must find a way to get my hands on my mother-in-law’s dice!"
After reading the second intel, Jiang Tao continued to the third one.
[Today’s Intel 03]:
You had some interaction with Du Yongmei yesterday, and gathered the following intel—
Du Yongmei accidentally got pregnant with a third child last night.
Advise her to supplement folic acid, protein, calcium, iron, and various vitamins timely.
For the sake of the proper development of the fetus.
