Daily Intelligence System: Financial Independence-Chapter 220 - 139: New Intel: Self-Ignited BMW at the Garage and Losses Worth Millions! (Triple Combo)
Li Ming saw Zhang Bo coming in and jokingly teased him.
"Her company suddenly had something come up and she had to work overtime. Forget about her, without someone nagging next to me, my ears can finally have some peace."
Zhang Bo smiled helplessly in response to Li Ming, then turned to Jiang Tao and Xu Li to greet them.
"Brother Jiang and sister-in-law, it’s not often that this kid Li Ming treats us. He’s a bona fide rich second generation, so don’t hold back when ordering tonight."
Jiang Tao laughed heartily, "Hahaha, that’s a must. It’s rare for Li Ming to treat us, we have to take full advantage of it."
Li Ming laughed and cursed on the side, "Damn you, Zhang Bo, your family’s wealth is even greater than mine. Just wait till it’s your turn to treat us, see how we’ll order then."
After a round of laughter and teasing, the four of them sat down and started ordering dishes.
Clear soup with bird’s nest, braised shark fin, braised abalone, stewed sea cucumber, steamed chicken with mushrooms;
Braised sea cucumber with green onions, abalone in oyster sauce, silverwood vegetarian stew, two-color prawns, and roast duck.
Zhang Bo was serious about his words, he showed no mercy when taking advantage of Li Ming’s treat.
He ordered all ten of Tan’s most iconic dishes, humorously calling it a "Ten Perfect," making Li Ming curse a storm.
However, words are just words, and fun is just fun.
Since Li Ming invited everyone for dinner, he didn’t mind Zhang Bo ordering a few more dishes.
Moreover, this restaurant is different from the ones outside, focusing on flavor and delicacy.
The braised abalone served one per person with just a broccoli. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
The stewed sea cucumber was just one dark sea cucumber with a few goji berries and quail eggs.
The steamed chicken with mushrooms was only one or two pieces of chicken per person.
Though it seemed like a lot of dishes were ordered, they weren’t meant to be filling, mostly for tasting.
The drinks for this meal were a bottle of Maotai and a bottle of red wine.
The trio ate, drank, and chatted. Though it was their first time having a meal together at the same table, they got along well, with endless topics.
The meal started at around 7 PM and lasted until about 9 PM.
When Li Ming paid the bill, it cost more than 5000 yuan, a little over 1000 per person, which wasn’t too expensive.
Previously, when Du Enan and his daughter invited Jiang Tao’s family to the Beijing Grand Hotel, they had Tan’s cuisine too.
That day, it was a little over 1500 per person, plus a 15% service charge.
Comparing the two, Jiang Tao didn’t feel much of a difference.
The four of them said their goodbyes at the restaurant entrance, and Li Ming and Zhang Bo took a taxi to Sanlitun for some fun.
Xu Li drove Jiang Tao toward the Bai Gezhuang New Village District.
The car she just returned ended up back in her hands after a turn, and the more Xu Li thought about it, the more amazing it seemed.
"Honey, after tonight’s meeting, I feel Li Ming is quite nice. Do you think we can introduce him to Third Brother?"
While driving, Xu Li didn’t forget to find a spouse for her sister-in-law.
Jiang Tao laughed and shook his head: "I don’t think it’ll work. With Third Brother’s personality, Li Ming might not be able to handle her."
"How would you know if you don’t try! Third Brother is also at the age of talking about marriage, it’s time to plan for it."
"In the village, among Third Brother’s classmates, she’s the only one unmarried."
"I heard from our mom that among her classmates, the ones who married early have already had their third child."
"Haha, what do you think Third Brother would be like as a mom? I can’t help but laugh thinking about her being a mom."
Jiang Tao imagined Third Brother holding a child and it made him laugh.
"How can you say that as a brother? Marriage and having kids aren’t the same! Everyone starts as new moms."
Xu Li thought about their first time being parents and a sweet smile appeared on her lips.
Back then, when their daughter pooped, they would stare in disbelief and gag for a while.
The couple chatted and joked, and around 10 PM, they drove back to the residential area.
When they took the elevator upstairs and got home, the main living room light was off, leaving only a circle of warm yellow light strips.
Seeing the couple return, their parents felt relieved and went to their room to sleep after a brief chat.
Seeing the parents enter the bedroom, Jiang Tao didn’t hide anything and directly went to the bathroom with Xu Li for a shower.
It was probably related to the abalone and sea cucumber they had tonight.
Normally, it would take only twenty minutes to shower, but it took them over an hour this time.
Back in the bedroom, an exhausted Xu Li soon fell asleep.
Jiang Tao, as usual, stayed up until midnight for the intelligence refresh.
[Today’s Intelligence 01]:
You met Li Ming from Old Li’s Premium Used Cars yesterday, and gained related intelligence—

If you alert him in time, you can help Li Ming avoid an economic loss of 12,345,678 yuan.
You could receive a gratitude red envelope of 200,000 yuan from Li Ming, as well as his long-lasting close friendship.
...
Upon seeing today’s first piece of intelligence,
Jiang Tao’s relaxed expression instantly turned grave, and he shot up from the bed!
