Daily Intelligence System: Financial Independence

Zhang Long looked at Jiang Tao and offered another suggestion.

Jiang Tao smiled at Zhang Long and said:

"Uncle Zhang, we are old friends, just give me a straight price. If it’s suitable, I’ll give it to you directly. I’m the kind of person who hates trouble."

"Well..."

Zhang Long paused for a moment, looked at Jiang Tao again, and said:

"Xiao Tao, I’ll make it a round figure for you, 10 million. That’s the highest price I can offer. If you think it’s reasonable, I can pay you in cash today."

"Haha, since Uncle Zhang has made an offer, I have to show respect. 10 million it is."

Jiang Tao quickly made his decision.

Selling it at the auction house would incur service fees and other expenses, and in the end, it wouldn’t necessarily be much more in his hands.

Zhang Long’s offer was actually quite generous.

If someone else brought this meteorite to him, he certainly wouldn’t offer such a high price.

"Hahaha, it’s always a pleasure to do business with someone like you, Xiao Jiang! Alright, I’ll take the meteorite, son, get the checkbook."

Zhang Long, with his straightforward personality, immediately called Zhang Bo to fetch the checkbook.

"Okay, Dad."

Zhang Bo agreed and got up to walk outside, soon returning to the reception room with a checkbook.

Zhang Long made a swift stroke and wrote a cash check of 11.2 million, handing it to Jiang Tao.

After confirming it was correct, Jiang Tao put it in his pocket.

Transaction completed, Zhang Long originally wanted Jiang Tao to visit a nearby tea house for tea and chat to strengthen their relationship.

But Jiang Tao had quite a few things to do this afternoon, so he declined the tea invitation.

Around three in the afternoon.

The Benz G-Class slowly drove into the underground parking lot of Century City Hotel.

Jiang Tao instructed Jia Guolin to standby, and he took the elevator up to the 12th floor alone.

Arriving at the door of room 1206, Jiang Tao stopped and knocked on the door.

Knock knock knock—

Click~

As Jiang Tao knocked on the door, it swung open from inside, and a fair and slender arm reached out, pulling him into the room.

Click, click—

The door closed and locked.

A warm body clung to Jiang Tao, eager to merge with him.

As they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

This time, Jiang Tao has been "on a business trip" back to his hometown, Ping County, for only three or four days.

Even though they called and video chatted daily, it was not enough to alleviate Yuan Mengqi’s longing.

As Jiang Tao entered the room, the temperature inside rapidly rose, with clothes scattered all over the floor.

One hour later...

With a complexion as rosy as peach blossoms, Yuan Mengqi lay in Jiang Tao’s arms, tracing circles on his strong pecs with her fair, slender fingers.

"Brother Tao, there’s something I’m not sure if I should tell you."

Yuan Mengqi’s soft voice carried a hint of raspiness.

"Go ahead."

Jiang Tao lowered his gaze to the naked Yuan Mengqi in his arms, already guessing what she wanted to say.

"The second day after you left for your hometown, Xu Li came to see me."

After saying this, Yuan Mengqi struggled out of Jiang Tao’s embrace, lying across his chest and gazing directly into his eyes.

Upon seeing Jiang Tao’s calm expression and profound eyes devoid of panic, Yuan Mengqi was quite surprised.

"And then what?"

Jiang Tao playfully smacked Yuan Mengqi’s backside and asked her what happened next with a smile.

"She said she already knows about us."

Yuan Mengqi hoped to see panic in Jiang Tao’s eyes but was disappointed.

With his daily briefing updates, Jiang Tao was already well aware, so he remained extraordinarily composed.

"What else?"

Jiang Tao was curious about what Xu Li would say to Yuan Mengqi.

"Xu Li said... said she wants me to have a baby for you."

Speaking of having a baby, Yuan Mengqi’s face showed an overwhelming sense of longing.

Although she had been married before, she hadn’t had any children.

Because there was no emotional foundation with her ex-husband; they were together just for the sake of living together.

She had never thought of having children with him.

However, when she was with Jiang Tao, the desire to have his children was incredibly strong.

"..."

Upon hearing Yuan Mengqi’s words, Jiang Tao’s arms momentarily stiffened, feeling more guilt and pity for Xu Li.

After ten years of marriage, he understood Xu Li better than anyone.

Xu Li probably compromised because she had been exerting herself intensely with Jiang Tao to prepare meals but had made no progress.

Everyone around has been getting pregnant this year.

First, it was Sister-in-law Zhang Xiaoyan, then Mother-in-law Du Yongmei, and then Aunt An Mingrong.

This made Xu Li, who had long wanted a second child but couldn’t conceive, quite disheartened.

Whenever she accompanied her mother and aunt for prenatal checkups, she would have herself examined too.

Even though her body showed no issues, she still couldn’t conceive, which left Xu Li speechless.

Of course, Jiang Tao’s health indicators were perfectly normal, so it wasn’t his problem.

With both of them having no issues, Xu Li naturally attributed the problem to herself.

Xu Sha was the first to know about Jiang Tao and Yuan Mengqi’s affair, accidentally discovering it during a visit to Yuan Mengqi’s home.

Getting someone to keep a secret is incredibly difficult.

After stumbling upon Jiang Tao and Yuan Mengqi’s affair, Xu Sha’s mind fell into turmoil.

She went sleepless for three days, nearly driving herself to a mental breakdown.

On one side was her idol brother-in-law, and on the other was her biological sister.

Xu Sha naturally felt closer to her sister.

Eventually, Xu Sha couldn’t keep the secret.

She told her sister about Jiang Tao and Yuan Mengqi’s affair, leaving the problem to her sister to handle.

Xu Li felt hurt upon hearing the news.

But divorcing Jiang Tao and leaving him was harder than death for her.

Moreover...

Jiang Tao’s physical strength had been increasing.

Xu Li felt she could barely manage him alone.

After secretly crying a few times, she ultimately chose to "turn a blind eye" as if nothing had happened.

During this time, Jiang Tao hadn’t neglected her in the slightest.

He had transferred her cash amounting to thirty or forty million, showing no signs of defensiveness.

Gradually, Xu Li became accustomed to Yuan Mengqi’s presence.

Since she had been unable to conceive for a long time, she even took the initiative to find Yuan Mengqi, asking her to have a baby for Jiang Tao.

You’d be hard-pressed to find a wife as silly as Xu Li.

"Brother Tao, I still stand by what I said; I don’t want anything, just you as a person."

"As long as you can come over every once in a while and be with me, I’ll be content."

"If you really don’t want to, I... won’t force you."

Seeing the slight change in Jiang Tao’s expression, Yuan Mengqi thought she might be pressuring him, tenderly touching his face.

"Silly girl, what do you mean you won’t force me?"

"I’ve already said I will be responsible for you for life. You’ll always be my woman."

Jiang Tao’s words were followed by a deep kiss on Yuan Mengqi’s lips.

With this kiss, the cooled passions reignited.

This time, Yuan Mengqi took control, initiating autopilot mode.

Around four in the afternoon.

Exhausted, Yuan Mengqi fell into a deep sleep on the hotel bed.

Jiang Tao quietly slipped out of bed to shower, then headed downstairs to Zhongbai Apartment to catch up with He Jing.

Thankfully, he had the bug-like miracle medicine, Divine Five Sons Inheriting Pill.

Otherwise, even if Jiang Tao had a stainless steel kidney, it wouldn’t be enough for his efforts.

He spent an hour and a half in He Jing’s apartment at Zhongbai.

Around 6:30 in the evening, Jiang Tao finally ended his day’s hustle and returned to Bai Gezhuang District.

Then, he hurriedly gathered the whole family into two cars for a meeting at Huabin Manor.

Today’s dinner party was arranged days earlier when Jiang Tao left Beijing.

Xu Li and the others had made quite some preparations for it.

During Jiang Tao’s visit to his hometown, Xu Li also took the entire family shopping for new clothes and jewelry.
