Daily Intelligence System: Financial Independence-Chapter 383 - 180: New Intel: Old Du’s Fake Watch and the Special Item, Holly Tree!
He usually doesn’t smoke or drink, but to entertain Jiang Tao, he specially went to buy a pack of good cigarettes.
"No worries, it’s no trouble, I’m just idle anyway."
When Jiang Tao talked to Jiang Hai, his gaze involuntarily drifted to the holly tree in the yard, which was faintly glowing with a dark golden light. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Yesterday, he didn’t trigger any information related to the holly tree, so even though he saw it, he didn’t recognize it as a special item.
Jiang Tao triggered the information, and it was the same holly tree, but the effect it presented in his vision was different!
"By the way, Jiang Hai, did you plant this holly yourselves or is it the landlord’s?"
Jiang Tao exhaled a puff of smoke, turned his eyes to Jiang Hai, and asked as if casually.
"It was already here when we moved in. Does Mr. Jiang like plants?"
While speaking with Jiang Tao, Jiang Hai also glanced at the holly tree to the right side of the main house.
In Jiang Hai’s sight, this holly tree was unremarkable, no different from those in the green belts along the streets outside, very common.
"Yes, I quite like plants."
"Especially when I see this one, it reminds me of the one below the balcony of my old home when I was a child."
"This size, this shape, it’s not just similar, it’s exactly the same!"
"It’s as if I’m instantly brought back to my childhood, it’s so touching."
"By the way, Jiang Hai, could you ask your landlord if he’s willing to sell this holly tree?"
"I can pay a price higher than the market price."
"1000 yuan! Ask him if he will sell it. If he agrees, I’ll dig it up today."
"Huh??"
Jiang Hai and Jiang Yi, the two siblings, were surprised by Jiang Tao’s words.
Although they didn’t have much research into greenery.
Holly is a very common plant, found everywhere in the green belts along the roadsides.
It’s obviously very cheap.
Jiang Tao offering 1000 yuan for the one in their yard was indeed a bit hard for Jiang Hai to fathom.
"Um, Jiang Tao, I know there’s a nursery not far from Huilongguan, how about I go buy you one another day?"
Jiang Yi felt spending 1000 yuan on a holly was too extravagant, so she proposed a compromise.
"No need, Teacher Jiang, I’ve taken a liking to this one, I want to buy this one, Jiang Hai, please help me ask the landlord, just at the price I mentioned."
Jiang Tao turned his gaze to Jiang Hai, insisting on buying the glowing one in the yard.
Even though they’re both holly, the difference is quite substantial!
Seeing Jiang Tao’s serious expression, Jiang Hai could tell he wasn’t joking, and he was more than happy to help with such a small matter.
"Sure, I will ask for you."
After Jiang Hai finished speaking, he took out his phone from his pocket and called the landlord.
The landlord, upon hearing someone wanted to pay 1000 yuan for a holly tree originally taken for free from outside the green belt, agreed without hesitation!
It was like picking up money for free, why not take it?
Jiang Tao, worried the landlord might change his mind, promptly transferred 1000 yuan to Jiang Hai to pass on to the landlord.
Then, with Jiang Hai’s help, he spent more than half an hour digging that holly tree out of the ground.
Jiang Yi helped wrap some plastic film around the holly’s root area, to prevent dirt from scattering everywhere.
Once it was wrapped up, Jiang Tao directly placed the holly in the trunk of a Mercedes G-Class.
After finishing all this, Jiang Tao drove and led the group onto the highway out of town.
Upon leaving the city, he drove swiftly straight to the film base in Huairou.
