Chapter 546 - 258: Rich Lady Yuan Mengqi—No, Sister Fu!
"Squad Leader Yuan truly is my lucky charm."
"In just a few days, I’ve made 4.8 million off her, averaging about 700,000 a day!"
"Of course, what’s even more precious are the two item list slots I got as a reward. Opening those on my own would have cost millions."
With the rewards safe in hand, Jiang Tao felt elated and instinctively closed the system interface.
Then, he first went to the largest and most well-stocked supermarket, the Reputation Building, in Ping County to buy some nutritional supplements for the elderly.
A round in the supermarket cost him over 4,000 yuan.
For Jiang Tao, who had just received 4.8 million, this expense was trivial.
After buying the things, Jiang Tao drove off toward Ping County Hospital.
In 10 minutes, a Beijing-licensed Mercedes-Benz G-Class appeared in front of the inpatient building of Ping County Hospital.
Yuan Mengqi, who had been waiting downstairs for quite some time, smiled immediately when she saw the license plate.
Once the car stopped and the door opened, Yuan Mengqi joyfully walked up to greet Jiang Tao.
"Jiang Tao!"
There was joy in Yuan Mengqi’s voice, and her smile was so wide her mouth could hardly close.
During this trial, the lawyer Jiang Tao found for her managed to get a 4.8 million settlement from her ex-husband Liu Gang!
After deducting the lawyer’s fees, Yuan Mengqi still received about 4.6 million!
4.6 million!
For Yuan Mengqi and her family, that was definitely a huge sum!
Moreover, the way this money came was almost magical, more absurd than some mindless short series.
If it weren’t for Jiang Tao’s reminder.
Yuan Mengqi’s family would never have thought that someone like Liu Gang could win a lottery, and a jackpot at that!
So, in being able to obtain this substantial property, Yuan Mengqi gave Jiang Tao credit.
A very significant credit at that!
She knew that if it weren’t for Jiang Tao establishing connections and exerting immense pressure on Liu Gang,
Liu Gang wouldn’t have obediently given back the millions he had already tasted.
The lawyer handling the case also revealed some insider information to Yuan Mengqi.
If Jiang Tao hadn’t helped her find these connections, Liu Gang could have indefinitely prolonged the proceedings!
A lawsuit like this could drag on for three to five years.
By that time, he would have already transferred all his assets, and even if she applied to the court for enforcement, not much could be recovered.
The fact that they managed to secure 4.8 million in compensation smoothly even took the lawyer by surprise.
"Congratulations, Squad Leader Yuan! Should I call you a rich lady now?"
Seeing how happy Yuan Mengqi was, Jiang Tao jokingly teased her.
Yuan Mengqi rolled her eyes at Jiang Tao and playfully retorted, "Rich lady? Do I look that old?"
"Haha, Sister Fu, it’s Sister Fu, I misspoke."
"Alright, stop teasing me already. Others might not know your worth, but I do!"
"My mere two cents are nothing in front of you, completely incomparable to a real tycoon like you."
Yuan Mengqi gazed gently at her old schoolmate.
At this moment, she felt that no words could express her gratitude enough.
After so many years, they met again, though they only spent about ten days together.
But those days felt more profound and memorable than the three years spent in the same classroom back then.
After all, she was considered a good student back then.
Though they were in the same class in high school, her focus was wholly on studying.
In three years as classmates, they probably hadn’t spoken as much as they had in these ten days.
And they didn’t share any unforgettable moments.
This time, Jiang Tao lent Yuan Mengqi money for her mother’s treatment, bought a house from her, acquiring a total of 20 units,
and also used his connections to secure a 4.8 million fortune from her ex-husband!
In just ten days, the benefits Jiang Tao brought to Yuan Mengqi exceeded 5 million!
In her thirty years, her savings amounted to just two or three hundred thousand.
The 5 million from the lawsuit was astronomical to Yuan Mengqi!
A dream sum she never dared to imagine!
And all of this was brought to her by Jiang Tao.
If she hadn’t met Jiang Tao, she’d probably never have had this fortune!
No wonder, in recent days, strange thoughts kept popping up in Yuan Mengqi’s head.
She felt Jiang Tao was her "hero."
Sent by heaven to rescue her from her plight.
The "hero" who saved her from the depths of suffering.
"Haha, Sister Fu, don’t be so modest, are you worried I’d ask you for a loan?"
Jiang Tao teased as he opened the car trunk with his keys.
"I bought some things for Aunt Zhao, help me take them up."
"If you seriously need to use money, you can tell me, I’ll lend you however much you need."
As Yuan Mengqi spoke, she walked over to the trunk of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
Seeing Jiang Tao continuously taking things out warmed her heart.
"Thank you, Jiang Tao, for going to the trouble again."
"Why so polite? Just a little token, take it."
Jiang Tao casually said as he handed over two boxes of nutritional supplements to Yuan Mengqi.
Yuan Mengqi reached to take the boxes, saying:
"By the way, Jiang Tao, did you see the transfer I made to you? I just transferred some money to your ZPay."
Jiang Tao, while closing the trunk, casually replied, "I was driving earlier, didn’t notice."
"Check it later; it’s the 300,000 you lent me before, without interest."
Walking side by side towards the hospital entrance, Yuan Mengqi said with a smile.
Previously, Jiang Tao lent her 300,000 for her mother’s treatment.
To her, it was the biggest favor, immeasurable by money.
So, when repaying, she didn’t calculate interest for Jiang Tao.
Instead, she decided to owe him this favor and repay it in the future when an opportunity arose.
If she calculated the interest on this loan, the nature of things might have changed.
It would be like saying: You lent me money, I’ve repaid both principal and interest, we’re all settled, owe nothing to each other.
Jiang Tao laughed while walking, "No interest is fine too, just treat me to a meal someday, a little celebration?"
"That’s a must, pick any place you want, not just one meal, even 10 or 100 meals, I’ll treat you."
The smile on Yuan Mengqi’s face shone with charming brilliance in the sunlight.
She didn’t understand why, but with Jiang Tao by her side, she felt ten years younger.
Her mood also lightened up considerably, feeling more relaxed and cheerful.
Moreover...
Yuan Mengqi didn’t know if it was her illusion.
Or if she viewed Jiang Tao through rose-tinted glasses.
She felt her old classmate looked a bit lighter and more handsome?
In fact, it wasn’t her illusion.
And it had nothing to do with "rose-tinted glasses."
Recently, during this time.
Jiang Tao completed several special tasks, and the rewards included "Charm Value."
As his Charm Value increased, his appearance also improved noticeably.
After some observation over this time.
Jiang Tao realized that the "Charm Value" feedback was a comprehensive enhancement for him.
Not only did it enhance his aura,
but it subtly refined his features.
For example, his lips originally inherited from his father Jiang Wen.
At first glance, they seemed fine.
But upon closer inspection, they were somewhat thick.
After his Charm Value increased by dozens of points,
Jiang Tao noticed his lips had become a bit thinner.
The shape became more perfect than before.
Also, his eyebrows became denser and more shapely.
His nose bridge also increased a tiny bit in height.
These subtle, imperceptible changes.
Even Xu Li, who slept next to Jiang Tao every night, hadn’t noticed.
Everyone assumed it was his aura and dressing sense that had changed.
Thus giving him a new overall look.
No one thought Jiang Tao’s features had actually changed.
But that was, precisely, the truth of the matter.
