Daily Intelligence System: Financial Independence-Chapter 38: Handsome and Refined Brother Tongzi
Ring ring ring——
Just after the money was split, Jiang Tao’s phone rang.
Picking up the phone, he saw it was a video call from his wife, Xu Li.
"Brother Jiang, you chat with sister-in-law, we’re heading out."
"Come on, let’s go to my place and continue playing cards!"
"We’re leaving, Brother Jiang, enjoy your time with sister-in-law~"
Liu Zhiyuan and the other two were perceptive enough to stand up and say goodbye.
"I won’t see you off then, don’t stay up too late, we’ll continue working tomorrow morning~"
Jiang Tao stood up to see them off while swiping his fingers to answer the call.
The phone screen flickered, and Xu Li appeared on the screen wearing a fluffy light pink pajama set.
"Have you eaten, husband? Quick, tell me, how much money did you make these past two days!"
On the other end, Xu Li seemed impatient.
200,000 was definitely a huge sum for their little family!
"Didn’t I borrow 50,000 yuan from you the other day?"
"Mr. Jiang, to correct you, it’s 56,000 yuan!"
"Oh right, 56,000 yuan, didn’t I say I’d pay you back double? That money is already included in today’s 200,000."
"Oh! I get it! So, you already predicted that sugar oranges would increase in price back then, so you borrowed money from me to stockpile them?"
"Wow, I didn’t expect my silly wife to become so clever today!"
"Hmph, who said I’m silly? Most of the time I’m really sharp, okay! It’s just that I was bewitched by your looks when we got married back then."
"Haha, are you indirectly praising me for being handsome?"
"It’s not indirect, I’m just praising you; my husband is the most handsome, earns money, and cares for the family, oh no..."
As Xu Li spoke, her expression changed.
"What’s wrong?"
Jiang Tao was puzzled by Xu Li’s reaction. What’s with all the surprises today?
"Husband, do you know about the impossible triangle for men?"
"What impossible triangle? Isn’t it three legs?"
"Ugh, not legs, it’s a triangle, triangle shape!"
"What do you mean..."
Jiang Tao looked down at his crotch, thinking isn’t it all the same?
"There’s a law in psychology that a man can’t simultaneously possess the triangle of handsomeness, wealth, and loyalty."
"Husband, you’re so handsome, and you’ve been making money like crazy recently; you already have two sides of the triangle, will you turn bad because of money?"
"What nonsense is this? Our family’s little money can hardly be called wealthy, right? Your husband barely scrapes by with handsome and loyal."
Jiang Tao was amused by Xu Li’s "impossible triangle for men."
However, come to think of it.
"The impossible triangle for men" and "men turn bad when they have money" seem somewhat connected.
The couple chatted for another hour and a half, and Xu Li hung up reluctantly only because Jiang Xue was tired and needed a bath before bed.
After finishing the video call with Xu Li, Jiang Tao picked up a small mirror from the table.
He gazed at the now older face with its greenish stubble and slightly weathered look.
Objectively speaking, it was somewhat handsome.
This face was also the greatest invisible wealth that Jiang Tao’s rural parents had given him.
Relatives and friends all praised Jiang Tao for marrying such a beautiful wife like Xu Li, saying it was good fortune from his ancestors.
But in reality, it was Xu Li who pursued Jiang Tao actively back then.
Of course, she won him over without breaking a sweat, that’s a fact too.
Jiang Tao and Xu Li must have been that legendary love-at-first-sight couple.
From school uniforms to wedding gowns, through all these years, their hearts only held each other and their love’s fruition.
Among many relatives and friends, they’ve also been viewed as models of an ideal couple.
Admiring himself in the mirror, Jiang Tao finally put down the mirror.
He picked up his phone and opened the Zpay app to check the balance: 245,897.66!
Jiang Tao first paid back the 160,000 he borrowed today, with a final balance of 85,897.66 remaining!
With the 200,000 he transferred to Xu Li today, the couple’s money had now surpassed the 300,000 mark!
In just over ten days, family assets transformed from a deficit of over 80,000 to over 300,000 now!
Jiang Tao, using the various intel provided by the intelligence system, had already made over 400,000, averaging over 40,000 a day!
Moreover, currently under his bed are Daughters Red Wine worth about 200,000, which he hasn’t cashed in yet, adding to his wealth!
"Thanks to Brother Tongzi for the help! Without him, it would have taken me five or six years of hard work to earn this much!"
"And now it only took 11 days! Saved myself five or six years worth of effort!"
Thinking of this, Jiang Tao felt a sudden urge and opened the main interface of the Daily Intelligence System.
[Host]: Jiang Tao (30 years old)
[System Level 1]: This level unlocks 1 intel daily.
[Warning! Ma Dongmei has just grabbed a train ticket for 4 a.m. on January 20th. After leaving Beijing this time, she won’t return!]
The more Jiang Tao looked, the more he appreciated Brother Tongzi’s neat and tidy interface.
Whoosh!
As if embarrassed by Jiang Tao’s gaze, Brother Tongzi actually closed the interface on its own.
Jiang Tao: "..."
"Presently, with each day unlocking only one piece of intelligence, you can make this much money in just over ten days."
"What if it were two, three..."
"If multiple pieces of intelligence information refresh each day, won’t the money-making speed increase too?"
Jiang Tao noticed that the intelligence system’s level is still at Level 1, and he felt a strong urge to upgrade Brother Tongzi.
"I’ll upgrade Brother Tongzi once the money from the sugar oranges is in hand tomorrow!"
"Anyway, it needs to be upgraded sooner or later."
"Now that the family’s debts are cleared, there’s nothing urgent to spend money on, the money hardly grows on its own."
"Investing 100,000 yuan into the intelligence system to unlock one more intel daily is quite the bargain!"
Although Jiang Tao understood the reasoning, spending 100,000 yuan at once to upgrade the intelligence system still pained him a bit.
"Plus, tomorrow I need to find time to visit the Red Star Wholesale Market and check up on the landlord’s romance."
"Let’s hope the old man’s lovebird won’t truly take a train ride and never come back."
Jiang Tao also noticed Ma Dongmei’s message while browsing the system’s main interface just now.
Ma Dongmei is leaving Beijing the day after tomorrow morning, and Jiang Tao only has tomorrow to act; it’s now or never.
While mentally planning tomorrow’s tasks.
After a simple wash, Jiang Tao hopped into bed.
Tonight he didn’t want to listen to books, he opened the QinDou APP first.
Checking out the sensually dressed girls there to elevate his aesthetic standards.
After his aesthetic training was done, Jiang Tao checked the moments on his social feed.
Jiang Tao’s WeChat contacts were few, only about 150, all real-life family and friends.
The first post on moments was his sister-in-law Xu Sha’s recent mall outing.
[Today is another beautiful day, feeling fabulous~]
The caption below was a nine-square grid collage of photos.
A light gray wool coat paired with a creamy white undershirt, complemented by knee-high boots.
His sister-in-law looked quite fashionable, very pretty, with a load of likes beneath.
The second post was Xu Li’s picture of Jiang Xue in new clothes.
The third post was Wang Lianming with a family photo at the hospital.
The fourth post was a message from Master Tian, the owner of the auto repair shop where Jiang Tao had his car fixed, selling a used car.
The fifth, sixth post...
Jiang Tao kept scrolling until the last post of the day before stopping.
He then opened the "Blind Date Blind Date Family" WeChat group to read the group chat.
The first post was Xu Li’s photo of Jiang Xue in her new outfit.
Grandparents, uncles, aunts were all complimenting her beauty.
His cousins flooded the chat with a series of emojis.
"The Blind Date Blind Date Family" group was quite lively with a few little ones around.
Time flies when you’re on your phone.
Before he knew it, it was already midnight.
Jiang Tao’s mind stirred and he opened the Intelligence System to check the latest intel.
