Daily Intelligence System: Financial Independence

Chapter 540 - 255: Stop Buttering Me Up!

Jiang Tao laughed heartily, "Haha, just helping out when I see injustice. My old classmate is too honest, and honest people are destined to suffer big losses."

"Indeed, in today’s society, whether in life or work, it’s always good to be a bit more cautious."

"Have a good heart but be wary of others."

"Sister Bai is right, such wise words. I need to go back and reflect on what Sister Bai just said, it’s thought-provoking!"

"Oh, stop flattering me, it’s too obvious."

"Is it obvious? I don’t think so. I’m just being truthful. Sister Bai knows I like to speak the truth."

"..."

The two of them ate and chatted, and the atmosphere at the dining table was very harmonious.

A large table full of delicacies was all eaten by Jiang Tao, with nothing left.

After finishing, instead of looking satisfied, Jiang Tao seemed to still want more.

Bai Yulan saw this and asked with a smile, "Do you want some salmon fried rice?"

"Can I have two servings?"

Jiang Tao didn’t hold back with Bai Yulan and cheerfully raised two fingers.

Bai Yulan, somewhat amused and exasperated, turned to the nanny beside her and said:

"Nanny Wang, please tell the chef to make two more servings of salmon fried rice."

"Sure, ma’am."

Nanny Wang heard Bai Yulan’s words, turned around, and walked towards the kitchen to prepare the salmon fried rice for Jiang Tao.

In less than 10 minutes, two servings of steaming hot salmon fried rice were brought to the dining table, placed in front of Jiang Tao.

After politely acknowledging Bai Yulan, Jiang Tao picked up a spoon and quickly finished two large plates of salmon fried rice.

No wonder the chef at Bai Yulan’s house is so qualified; their skills are indeed top-notch.

"Burp~"

After a large table of dishes and two servings of salmon fried rice, Jiang Tao was finally full, letting out a satisfied burp.

Bai Yulan looked at Jiang Tao warmly and asked with a smile, "Are you full this time?"

Jiang Tao touched his belly and smiled, "Completely full, very satisfied."

Bai Yulan smilingly reminded, "Now that you’re full, don’t forget the main event tonight. You don’t have many days left in Ping County; I have to hurry up."

"Haha, don’t worry, Sister Bai, I came over today specifically for the main event."

Jiang Tao naturally knew what Bai Yulan was referring to, and he nodded with a grin to assure her.

"Besides the massage to aid sleep, I also brought you a gift today, Sister Bai."

As Jiang Tao spoke, he grabbed the tote bag he had placed on the chair next to him.

He pulled out the "Insomnia Terminator" pillow from the tote bag.

"Huh, is this a pillow?"

Bai Yulan, seeing Jiang Tao come over for a visit with a pillow, looked at him confusedly.

Is this supposed to be a reciprocal gift?

She gave him 10 pillows, and he returned one?

"This pillow is called—"

Jiang Tao deliberately paused to pique Bai Yulan’s curiosity.

"Called what?"

Bai Yulan, full of curiosity, looked at Jiang Tao and then at the pillow in his hand.

Jiang Tao smiled and said, "It’s called the Insomnia Terminator."

"Pfft~"

Bai Yulan was amused by the somewhat cheesy name of the pillow.

"That name, hehe..."

Bai Yulan wiped a tear of laughter from the corner of her eye and said:

"Is that really the name? It sounds a bit, hehe..."

Out of consideration for Jiang Tao, Bai Yulan didn’t explicitly say "a bit cheesy."

But clearly, that’s what she was thinking.

"..."

Jiang Tao also felt helpless; he wasn’t the one who came up with the name—Brother Tongzi did.

"Ahem, Sister Bai, while the name of this pillow might not immediately sound like a pillow..."

"The effect, however, is genuine. You’ll know after trying it tonight."

Although Jiang Tao hadn’t tried it himself, he had absolute confidence in products made by Brother Tongzi.

"Really? Genuine?"

Bai Yulan was intrigued by Jiang Tao’s words.

Insomnia Terminator...

If it’s genuine, does that mean this pillow can end insomnia?

"Yes, Sister Bai, give it a try tonight. If it works well, maybe you can recommend it to people around you."

"This pillow’s effect is definitely impressive, absolutely worth it."

To complete the special mission of "Insomnia Terminator 2," Jiang Tao began encouraging Bai Yulan to be his "promoter."

"Sure, no problem. If it’s good, I’ll buy some for my mom and brother, and use them as reciprocal gifts for clients."

Bai Yulan agreed without hesitation, not even asking about the price.

At her level, buying things doesn’t really depend on the price anymore; she buys what she wants.

In her view, a pillow, no matter how expensive, won’t be out of reach.

If even she can’t afford it, then it wouldn’t have much of a market.

"Wise choice, Sister Bai. Gifting our Insomnia Terminator to family and friends will definitely win you solid praise."

"Sleep takes up a third of life, so don’t skimp on it."

"Our Insomnia Terminator is highly effective for insomnia sufferers like Sister Bai and can significantly improve sleep quality."

Jiang Tao had great confidence in the "Insomnia Terminator" and wasn’t afraid to boast.

Bai Yulan laughed and said, "Seems like you have a lot of confidence in this product."

"Of course, if I wasn’t confident, I wouldn’t be giving it to Sister Bai."

Jiang Tao laughed, "With this Insomnia Terminator, even when I return to Beijing, Sister Bai will still be able to sleep well."

"Let’s hope so!"

After hearing Jiang Tao’s words, the scene of him giving her a massage flashed through Bai Yulan’s mind again.

If she had to choose between Jiang Tao and the "Insomnia Terminator," she would undoubtedly choose Jiang Tao without hesitation.

But she also knew it was impossible to keep Jiang Tao in Ping County to be her masseur.

If the "Insomnia Terminator" was indeed as effective as he said, it would be a good "substitute."

After a few more casual chats, Bai Yulan asked Nanny Wang to tidy up the kitchen, while she went upstairs to take a bath and change clothes.

Jiang Tao went into Bai Yulan’s study on the first floor, glancing over the books on the shelves one by one.

Of course, he wasn’t truly such a fan of studying or reading.

His intentions weren’t "pure."

"If only I could trigger another intelligence message and gain some intelligence related to books!"

Last time, in Bai Yulan’s office, he triggered special intelligence and obtained a book recognized by the system as a special item, "Tuina Massage."

After learning it, he acquired the "System Level Tuina Massage Skill," with amazing results.

"Hotel management, economics, finance..."

"For such a big boss, Sister Bai sure spends a lot of time reading."

Randomly picking a book from the shelf and opening it, there were neat notes inside.

Jiang Tao initially thought Bai Yulan, like other bosses, bought so many books just to decorate the place and appear cultured.

Unexpectedly, Bai Yulan truly reads and studies!

Knock knock knock—

A sudden knock on the door interrupted Jiang Tao’s thoughts.

"Come in."

While putting back a book on stock investment titled "The Intelligent Investor," Jiang Tao turned to look at the door.

The study door gently opened, and the nanny, whom Bai Yulan called Nanny Wang, entered the room.

"Mr. Jiang, Ms. Bai invites you to come upstairs."

Nanny Wang looked at Jiang Tao with great respect.

Having worked at Bai Yulan’s house for seven to eight years.

Jiang Tao was the only man Nanny Wang had ever seen invited to Bai Yulan’s home.

And the only one to have entered Bai Yulan’s bedroom.

It showed Jiang Tao’s significant position in Bai Yulan’s heart.

"Alright, thank you."

Jiang Tao politely nodded to Nanny Wang and headed towards the door.

Taking the elevator to the third floor.

Nanny Wang escorted Jiang Tao to the door of Bai Yulan’s bedroom, watching him enter the room.
