Chapter 409 - 191: Special Mission [Give a Man a Fish, Teach a Man to Fish]
After completing the special task [Knowing People and Using Them Well] triggered by Shan Yang.
Jiang Tao’s constitution increased by 6 points to reach 88 points.
According to Brother Tongzi’s strict scoring mechanism.
His constitution at this level is definitely considered top-notch among humans.
With this palm strike, you could stun not just a fish, but even a pig.
He squeezed the fish’s belly hard with his hand.
Sure enough, Jiang Tao could clearly feel a hard strip inside the fish’s belly.
"How did this thing get inside?"
Jiang Tao leaned in to take a closer look at the fish’s belly and saw it was covered with dense stitches.
Seeing this, Jiang Tao understood the situation.
The fish was gutted to put a gold bar inside, and then sewn back up.
"Let me give you a quick end."
Jiang Tao didn’t feel any unnecessary pity for a fish.
He reached into his pocket, pulled out a fruit knife, and gutted the fish’s belly again to take out a shining gold bar.
The fish had been gutted and soaked in water for a long time, so the wound was a bit rotten and definitely not edible.
After taking out the gold bar, Jiang Tao swung the fish’s head and tossed it far away, throwing it back into the water.
He cleaned the heavy gold bar in the water.
Jiang Tao put it into the pocket of his work clothes and turned to walk towards the shore.
Once onshore, he opened the trunk at the back of the car and changed back into his original clothes.
He took out the box containing the River Stone and that gold bar from the work clothes.
Jiang Tao threw the work clothes and rubber shoes into the roadside bushes.
He got into the car, started it, and turned around to drive towards the direction of Bai Gezhuang District.
"I once dreamt of wandering the world with a sword to admire its splendor."
"A young heart is always impulsive; now you make the world your home."
On the midnight road, Jiang Tao hummed along with the song playing inside the car.
His thoughts wandered aimlessly in his mind.
Jiang Tao thought about his father-in-law, who triggered three pieces of intelligence today.
His father-in-law, Xu Wencheng, is 56 years old, a mid-level manager at a manufacturing company in Ping County.
He earns about 12,000 yuan a month.
In a small place like Ping County, that’s considered pretty good.
Over the years, with this stable income.
He’s bought a house, a car, and supported two daughters through college.
He’s also saved six to seven hundred thousand yuan for retirement.
With a house, a car, and savings, there’ll be a pension in the future.
The couple’s current life exceeds the national average.
But if there’s a "money-eating beast"...
The couple’s savings aren’t really enough.
[Ding! Congratulations on triggering the special task [Teaching a Man to Fish Rather Than Giving Him a Fish]!]
Suddenly, a ding sounded in Jiang Tao’s mind, along with a system notification.
At the same time, futuristic blue text appeared on his windshield.
[Task Name]: Teaching a Man to Fish Rather Than Giving Him a Fish.
[Task Content]: Guide Xu Wencheng into an industry highly matched with his talent to help him achieve life transformation!
[Task Reward]: Cash 1.99 million, salary card limit +50,000, constitution 10 points, charm value 5 points!
Seeing the task details on the windshield, especially the generous rewards, Jiang Tao’s eyes lit up!
The reward for this task rivals that of the special task triggered by Jiang Yi!
Moreover, the name of this task is quite thought-provoking.
"Teaching a Man to Fish Rather Than Giving Him a Fish..."
"Guide the father-in-law into an industry that highly matches his talent."
Jiang Tao used the [Bo Le] title to assess his father-in-law’s talent and suitable industry.
The top recommended profession was fisherman!
"Just in time, I’m planning to start an MCN company, I could sign him up and have him live-stream fishing?"
"Oh right, today’s intelligence includes information on a fishing hook, labeled as a special fish hook."
"I don’t know what’s special about it, but it’s probably related to fishing?"
"With the father-in-law’s skills, plus the luck from the River Stone, and a special item fish hook..."
"Combining these three, having the father-in-law stream fishing might produce some excellent live broadcast effect!"
"As for the salary... The task reward alone includes a salary card limit of 50,000!"
"Even if I offer the father-in-law 30,000, I still have 20,000 left!"
After reading the [Teaching a Man to Fish Rather Than Giving Him a Fish] task description.
Jiang Tao’s mind was racing, and he quickly thought of how to arrange for his father-in-law.
This matter is beneficial to both his father-in-law and him.
His father-in-law can get a job that matches his interests and pays far more than his current job.
Jiang Tao can receive 1.99 million in cash, 10 constitution points, 5 charm value points, and a 50,000 salary card limit!
Why wouldn’t you do such a win-win cooperation!
By the time Jiang Tao drove back to Bai Gezhuang New Village District, it was already around 1:30 a.m.
After returning home, he quietly returned to the bedroom.
He enabled [Deep Sleep Mode] and went to sleep.
...
In the same district, Building 62, Room 1504.
Xu Wencheng and Du Yongmei lay in the master bedroom, both sleepless.
Having a child in old age can be a blessing for wealthy families or childless couples.
But for Xu Wencheng and Du Yongmei, it’s a happy worry.
"Old Xu, you’re the head of our family, so you decide whether to have this child or not, I’ll listen to you."
