Chapter 545 - 258: Rich Lady Yuan Mengqi—No, Sister Fu!
Originally, Jiang Tao planned to stay at his hometown for at most three to five more days before returning to Beijing.
But often plans can’t keep up with changes.
He ended up spending a total of seven days in his hometown, Ping County, before settling everything.
During these seven days, Jiang Tao bought 10 more houses in Shun Ning Prefecture through Yicheng Real Estate Agency, bringing the total to 20.
After a few days of interactions and persuasion, Yuan Mengqi was successfully convinced by Jiang Tao and was poached by him.
She agreed to go to Beijing to work for him as the manager of his restaurant company.
Yuan Mengqi’s mother’s surgery was very successful and she is recovering well.
Yuan Mengjie and Lin Ranran have also resigned from Qiao Claypot.
When Jiang Tao returns to Beijing, he plans to take the entire family with him.
There is a vacant house back in Bai Gezhuang, which is just perfect for the family to live in.
Also, the heroism award has been credited to Jiang Tao’s account.
The Ping County Public Security Bureau even awarded him a banner.
Jiang Tao also took some time to visit his uncle’s old house.
He spent 100,000 yuan and asked Brother Tongzi to help retrieve a red and white koi that had lived 60 years from the well.
This red and white koi is nearly 2 meters long from head to tail, exceedingly rare!
Brother Tongzi’s original estimate was 1.88 million yuan.
But Bai Yulan boldly bought it for 2 million yuan.
And specially set up a large bathtub in the lobby of Baiyulan Hotel to keep it.
This giant koi also became a landmark of Baiyulan Hotel, attracting many visitors from the downtown area to come and watch.
Of course, those visitors wouldn’t just come to Baiyulan Hotel to see the koi, they would surely spend money there too.
Baiyulan Hotel’s business boomed, by more than 30% compared to before.
It won’t take a month for them to earn back the money spent on the koi.
It must be said, Bai Yulan was able to run Baiyulan Hotel into the leading high-end hotel in Ping County.
Apart from her extensive network of connections, her capabilities and vision are indeed not something ordinary people can match.
In those seven days, Bai Yulan also ordered 80 units of "Insomnia Terminator" from Jiang Tao for social exchanges.
According to the feedback she gave to Jiang Tao, everyone unanimously praised the effect of the "Insomnia Terminator."
Through word-of-mouth promotion, "Insomnia Terminator" gained some fame in a small circle.
Many people bought "Insomnia Terminator" from Jiang Tao through Bai Yulan.
In just seven days, sales reached 280 units.
Based on the price of 8888 yuan each, the total sales amounted to 2.48 million yuan.
Jiang Tao’s purchasing price from the System Mall was 4444 yuan each.
The profit he pocketed was roughly 1.2 million yuan!
What’s a bit regrettable is, because "Insomnia Terminator" was from the system.
The profit Jiang Tao earned cannot be doubled using the "Monopoly Dice."
Otherwise, he could have earned more.
Moreover, the house in West City Mansion that Bai Yulan’s mother transferred to Jiang Tao has also smoothly completed the transfer.
This house is located in Building 8 of the community, the best-positioned building of the community.
It’s on a prime floor, located on the 16th floor.
The house’s layout is also the largest within the community, with a size of 142 square meters.
It’s south-north transparent, with four bedrooms, two living rooms, three bathrooms, and featuring a large balcony.
The house’s decoration is also luxurious, exuding extravagance everywhere.
According to Bai Yulan, the decoration alone cost over a million, and it has never been lived in a single day.
The consumption concept of the wealthy is really beyond the understanding of ordinary people.
One million yuan could buy a 100-square-meter house outright in a community like West City Mansion.
But it’s only the cost of decoration for some people.
The house, along with the decoration, the one Bai Yulan’s mom gifted to Jiang Tao, the total value is around 3 million yuan!
Jiang Tao made a huge profit from this.
The matters at his hometown in Ping County have all been resolved.
Jiang Tao and Yuan Mengqi and the others planned to return to Beijing on the morning of April 21st, which is tomorrow.
...
Ring ring——
Around 3 PM on the 20th.
Jiang Tao had just delivered 20 units of "Insomnia Terminator" to Bai Yulan and walked out of Baiyulan Hotel when his phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
He took out his phone to see that the caller ID displayed the name "Squad Leader Yuan."
"Hello Squad Leader Yuan, have you packed everything up?"
Answering the call, Jiang Tao smiled and greeted Yuan Mengqi.
"Is that so? Quite fast, congratulations on retrieving your own property. Are we celebrating tonight?"
"I’m here at Baiyulan Hotel, just stepped out."
"Never mind, I’ll come to find you, and also visit Aunt Zhao."
"Okay, see you later."
After a brief exchange with Yuan Mengqi on the phone, Jiang Tao swiped his finger to hang up the call.
The azure-colored system interface suddenly popped out, displaying three prompt messages.
[Congratulations on completing the [Justice Judgment] task!]
[Congratulations on receiving the equivalent cash of 4.8 million recovered by Yuan Mengqi!]
[Your Constitution increased by 5 points, your Charm Value increased by 5 points, your storage slots increased by 3]
Buzz~
The phone in his hand vibrated slightly.
Jiang Tao raised his hand to look at the phone screen, and indeed a notification showed that 4.8 million yuan had been credited.
At the same time, he felt a warm current rising from his dantian, spreading a warm sensation throughout his body.
Jiang Tao knew this was a sign of his Constitution increasing.
Including the 5 points just obtained, his Constitution had reached an astounding 132 points.
He had become stronger!
It’s no exaggeration to say, with his current Constitution and his mastery of System Level Free Fighting.
He could easily replicate the scene of Ip Man taking on ten men in the movies in reality.
