Chapter 161 The Guanyin Statue That Turns Misfortune into Good Fortune! (3-in-1, please subscribe~~)

Although Jiang Tao didn't know the exact price of the jade Guanyin statue that Kang Huijun had given him.

But he knew that this thing was indeed very precious!

Extremely precious!

This is a special item that Brother Tongzi has identified as such!

Whether it's the "Lucky Toad," the "Salary Card," or the "Body Strengthening Treadmill," it's all about these.

Items designated as special items by Brother Tongzi have incredibly powerful attributes once activated.

Its value cannot be measured in money!

If you give any one of these items to an ordinary person, it might not be enough to achieve a complete turnaround in life, but it would certainly be enough to ensure they have enough to eat and wear.

but……

As it was a special item recognized by the system, Jiang Tao couldn't explain too much to Xu Li about it.

"Honey, go take a shower first. Let's have some alone time this morning, and I'll take you out for a nice lunch."

Jiang Tao reached out and patted Xu Li's pert buttocks, smiling as he gestured for her to go take a shower first.

Earning a million a day is such a joyous occasion that it's naturally worth celebrating.

After celebrating at noon, we'll celebrate again in the evening with my parents and the third child.

"Okay, I'll go now~"

Xu Li gave Jiang Tao another kiss on the cheek before getting up from the bed.

After getting out of bed, she casually put on a blue silk nightgown, gave Jiang Tao one last alluring look, and then turned and left.

After sending Xu Li to take a shower, Jiang Tao started the binding process, binding the jade Guanyin statue first.

[Jade Guanyin statue successfully bound. Do you understand the activation process?]

You will see a system prompt on the system interface.

Jiang Tao then tried to activate the Jade Guanyin using the same method he had used before to activate special items like the "Wealth-Bringing Toad".

I gently pricked the pad of my left thumb with the needle from the back of the phone case.

Squeeze out a drop of blood and let it drip onto the jade Guanyin statue.

The moment the blood droplet fell, it transformed into a hazy, red, thin mist, completely enveloping the jade Guanyin.

[The Jade Guanyin has been successfully activated and has gained new attributes!]

Upon seeing the system prompt, Jiang Tao had an idea and opened the details page of the jade Guanyin.

【Item Name】: Guanyin statue for turning misfortune into good fortune.

[Attribute]: Protects against misfortune (can shield the wearer from 3 fatal threats).
……

Upon seeing the attributes of the jade Guanyin statue after it was activated, Jiang Tao's eyes lit up.

He withstood three fatal blows...

This thing is supposed to be precious, but it doesn't seem to be of much use.

Jiang Tao lived for over thirty years without encountering any fatal disasters or calamities.

But if you say it's useless, it can save your life in critical moments, and it can save you three times!
"It's not bad, I guess."

“Lily and I have a stone from the river, and Xiaoxue will carry this Guanyin amulet as a talisman.”

After seeing the attributes of the jade Guanyin after it was activated, Jiang Tao's first thought was of his own daughter.

When parents have something good, they always think of their own children first, and there's nothing wrong with that.

After reading the description of the Guanyin statue that brings good fortune and wards off evil, Jiang Tao carefully put it back into the box.

Then, he got out of bed and went out, walked to the bathroom door, and pulled open the frosted glass door with a whoosh before entering.

What should have been a ten-minute shower took more than half an hour when the two of them took it together.

After his physique increased to 60 points, Jiang Tao's already strong abilities became even stronger.

Xu Li gradually found herself unable to cope.

Jingle Bell--

Jiang Tao and Xu Li had just finished showering and getting dressed when his phone, which he had left on the coffee table in the living room, rang.

Stepping out of the bedroom and onto the coffee table, I saw the caller ID on the phone screen read "Director An".

Jiang Tao slapped his forehead.

Oh no! I was so focused on celebrating my good fortune with Xu Li today that I completely forgot about Director An!

He and An Menglin arranged to meet at 10 a.m. today, and it's already 9:58 a.m.

Jingle bells, jingle bells—

Looking at his ringing phone, Jiang Tao thought for a moment before swiping his finger to answer the call.

"Hey Director An, have you arrived at Cui Village yet?"

"I'll be there in about 20 minutes. I had a flat tire on the way, which caused a little delay. Please bear with me."

"Please go to our greenhouse first. Our company's Vice President Jiang Bing will be there to receive you."

"I'm so sorry, let Vice President Jiang Bing show you the items first."

"Okay, thank you for your understanding. That's all for now, see you later."

After telling An Menglin a brief lie over the phone, Jiang Tao hurriedly walked to the bedroom door.

"Honey, the plans have changed, we need to hurry up and head out."

"I had an appointment to meet a guest at 10 o'clock at the greenhouse, but I just forgot about it."

"Okay, I'll be right there, just three more minutes~"

Xu Li doesn't usually wear much makeup; she just needs to moisturize her skin and apply some lip balm.

In less than three minutes, Xu Li had finished her makeup and quickly changed into her travel attire.

She wore light gray sharkskin pants that stretched her slender, long legs straight and made them appear even longer.

The plaid leather ankle boots paired with high-top white striped cotton socks also served as a great finishing touch.

She was wearing a white Canada Goose parka that Jiang Tao had just bought for her a few days ago.

Because her hair wasn't completely dry, she wore a black woolen hat on her head.

Her outfit made her look youthful, beautiful, and incredibly charming.

Even Jiang Tao, who spends every day with Xu Li, was tempted by her outfit and wished he could have another match with her.

"Do I look alright? Won't I embarrass you, my husband, if I go out like this?"

Xu Li smiled and twirled in front of Jiang Tao.

The intense gaze Jiang Tao gave her was the highest praise he could give her.

My wife looks beautiful in everything she wears, she's perfect!

Jiang Tao smiled and gave Xu Li a thumbs up, offering a sincere compliment.

The saying "Clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse" is absolutely true for Xu Li.

Compared to the past, when the entire outfit cost less than 1000 yuan, this is a significant improvement.

At this moment, Xu Li's Canada Goose parka alone costs more than 15,000 yuan.

The seemingly simple shark pants she wore were also a product of the well-known brand Lululemon, priced at over 2000.

The checkered leather ankle boots she's wearing are also a new style from Burberry, priced at over 8000.

Xu Li used to be beautiful, but she lacked confidence.

Furthermore, their clothing and appearance always give off a cheap vibe.

Xu Li is now dressed head-to-toe in designer brands.

She looks incredibly elegant and sophisticated, and is also more confident and charming than ever before.

"Hehe~ As long as I don't embarrass my husband."

Xu Li chuckled twice, took a few steps forward and put her arm around Jiang Tao's arm. The two chatted and laughed as they went out together and took the elevator downstairs.

10:19 am.

The Mercedes-Benz GLS was parked outside the greenhouse that Jiang Tao had rented.

After getting off the bus, Jiang Tao saw that outside the greenhouse, besides the van that Du Jun used to take people to and from get off work, there was also a ZTO Express delivery truck.

There was also a bright pink Nissan Qashqai with a Beijing license plate.

I guess this car belongs to Director An.

Xu Li nimbly jumped out of the passenger seat, walked around the front of the car to Jiang Tao's side, and took his arm.

"Come on, let me show you our blueberry farm."

Jiang Tao said with a smile, and led Xu Li into the greenhouse.

"Good morning, Mr. Jiang. Is this your wife? She's so beautiful! She looks like she stepped out of a painting!"

"Good morning, Mr. Jiang..."

Good morning, Mr. Jiang.

Inside the greenhouse, the workers who were packing up greeted Jiang Tao and Xu Li warmly as they entered.

"good morning."

"good morning guys."

Jiang Tao and Xu Li responded to everyone's greetings without any airs.

"President Jiang, Lily! What brings you here today!"

When Du Jun saw Xu Li from afar, he put down what he was doing, walked a few steps forward, and greeted Jiang Tao and Xu Li with a smile.

In fact, Du Jun and Xu Li are still within the fifth degree of kinship, proper relatives.

“Brother Jun, I’ve heard from my husband that you’re working here.”

"I had nothing to do at home today, so I came with him to visit. I'd like to invite you to my home sometime so you can get acquainted with the place."

When Xu Li saw Du Jun, she greeted him with a smile.

"Okay, okay, definitely. We've been able to work in such a great environment thanks to my brother-in-law's care during this time."

"At my brother-in-law's place, I'm sheltered from the wind and cold, and he pays me promptly. Dealing with him is such a pleasure."

While chatting with Xu Li, Du Jun didn't forget to praise Jiang Tao as well.

After all, Jiang Tao is the boss here, the one who provides him with a living.

"Brother Jun, you're too kind. It's not like I've done anything special for you. We just have a normal employer-employee relationship."

"The smooth progress of the work during this period is all thanks to Brother Jun and his brothers and sisters."

"Once this project is finished, I'll treat everyone to a good meal."

Du Jun laughed and said, "Alright! It's settled then. Once everyone knows this news, they'll definitely work even harder."

After chatting with Du Jun for a few minutes, Jiang Tao left with Xu Li. The two of them went to the office door and knocked on it.

"come in."

Hearing voices inside, Jiang Tao and Xu Li entered one after the other.

"The third child."

Xu Li greeted Jiang Bing with a smile as she entered the room.

Her beautiful eyes darted around, quickly locking onto the elegant woman who had just gotten up from the ground.

Clearly, this woman must be the Director An that my husband mentioned.

"Second brother, sister-in-law, you're here!"

When Jiang Bing saw her second brother and sister-in-law, she stood up from her seat with a smile and greeted them, her face beaming with joy.

"Director An, we're sorry to have kept you waiting. We're late."

Jiang Tao smiled apologetically and greeted An Menglin.

"It's alright, I've only been here for about ten minutes, and Miss Jiang Bing has already shown me the four blueberry plants." An Menglin stood up to greet Jiang Tao and Xu Li with a smile.

"Director An has already seen those four mutated blueberry plants? I wonder if your hospital would be interested?"

Jiang Tao asked his question, looking intently at An Menglin, waiting for her answer.

"Those four blueberry plants, as you said, have indeed undergone genetic mutation."

"And it's a very rare mutation in fruit color."

“Our research institute at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is indeed very interested in this kind of genetically mutated plant.”

"Regarding the price... Mr. Jiang, how many are you planning to sell? Per plant?"

An Menglin looked at Jiang Tao and asked about the price, which was her biggest concern.

"20 yuan per tree."

Jiang Tao didn't waste any words with An Menglin and directly told her the expected price that Brother Tongzi had given him.

"20... per tree!"

Xu Li and Jiang Bing, who were standing nearby, were startled when they heard Jiang Tao's offer!
Although the two already knew that Jiang Tao had discovered four genetically mutated blueberry bonsai.

But neither of them ever imagined that this thing would be so valuable!

Spending 20 yuan to buy a blueberry plant is, in their eyes, absolutely "a crazy thing"!

That’s 20 million!

If it were Jiang Tao back when he drove a truck to haul goods...

He would have to save up for more than three years by living frugally to earn 20 yuan!

An Menglin looked at Jiang Tao with some surprise after hearing his offer.

The price of 20 was clearly beyond her expectations, much more expensive than she had anticipated.

"20... Is there any room for negotiation on this price?"

An Menglin looked at Jiang Tao; she really wanted to buy those four mutated blueberry bushes.

"I'm sorry, Director An, this is the lowest price I can offer you."

“The agricultural research institute in my hometown of northern Hebei is also very interested in our mutant blueberry tree.”

"That's the price I gave them too."

“These four mutated blueberry bushes are the ones I carefully selected from 100,000 bushes. You can understand how precious they are.”

"This price is really fair."

To create a sense of urgency for An Menglin, Jiang Tao fabricated another buyer who never existed.

"Mr. Jiang, this price is beyond my capabilities."

"I need to go back and report the situation to my superiors, and then apply for special funding support."

Faced with the expensive blueberry bonsai, An Menglin did not give a definite answer on the spot.

It wasn't that she really wanted to ignore Jiang Tao.

She definitely needs to go back to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to apply for sufficient financial support.

"Of course, I look forward to your good news."

Jiang Tao smiled and nodded. He could understand An Menglin's feelings at the moment and was willing to give them time to consider.

Jiang Tao was not in a hurry to sell these four genetically mutated blueberry plants.

Hold it in your hand, wait for the right price, and sell it to whoever can afford it.

After all, he himself had never intended to work in the cultivation industry long-term.

This time, it was just by chance that this intelligence was triggered, so I came in to make a quick buck.

After making that profit, he planned to quit.

After finishing their business, Jiang Tao took An Menglin to see the four mutated blueberry bushes.

An Menglin took many photos from various angles with her mobile phone as materials for the application fee.

Jiang Tao raised his hand and glanced at the new green Submariner he was wearing on his wrist.

Before I knew it, it was already around 11:30 in the morning.

So he invited:

"Director An, it's almost noon. Let's find a place to have lunch together."

"Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Jiang, but it's really not necessary. I can just eat at the cafeteria."

An Menglin smiled at Jiang Tao, politely declined his offer to treat her to dinner, and then said goodbye:

"It's getting late, and I've finished taking the photos, so I won't disturb Mr. Jiang's work any longer. I'll head back to the hospital now."

"Then I'll see Director An off."

Jiang Tao didn't force An Menglin. He escorted her all the way to the entrance of the greenhouse and watched her drive away in her red Qashqai before turning back inside the greenhouse.

"Second brother, are those four blueberry bushes really that valuable?"

Seeing Jiang Tao return after seeing An Menglin off, Jiang Bing stepped forward with a curious expression and asked him.

Before today, Jiang Tao had been instructing her third sister to take good care of the four genetically mutated blueberry plants.

But he only told her that the four blueberry bushes were very precious, without mentioning their value.

Today I overheard Jiang Tao and An Menglin mentioning the price; one pot costs a whopping 20!
Jiang Bing still finds it incredible!
If one pot can really sell for 200,000, then four pots would be worth 800,000.

The cost of 10 potted blueberry plants was recouped immediately!
Wouldn't the rest be pure profit?
How much money do you have to make?
Based on the current profit of 20 yuan per potted blueberry plant.

10 pots, that's 200 million!
Even after deducting the rental costs of the greenhouses and the wages of the workers.

Finally, a conservative estimate puts the net profit at around 190 million!
I'll split it 20/80 with my second brother, so I'll get 380,000!

In less than a month, he made a whopping 38 yuan!
Just thinking about the share she would receive made Jiang Bing feel as if countless banknotes were flying towards her!

The revenue share from the previous sale of stainless steel paper cups, plus the revenue share from this sale of blueberry potted plants.

Jiang Bing's income this past month is about to break 40!

If you add the money you made selling Flying Pig popcorn buckets during the Chinese New Year.

Her total income this year has exceeded one million!

Earning a million a year!!

This is something she never dared to dream of before, but now it has become a reality!

Following my second brother's lead, a meteoric rise to success is just around the corner!
"The rarer it is, the more valuable it is. There are probably only four rainbow-colored blueberries like ours in the world."

"20 yuan a pot, the price is already very reasonable."

"I reckon Director An and her team will eventually come and buy it."

Jiang Tao wasn't worried at all about not being able to sell the four pots of genetically mutated blueberries; a confident smile radiated from his face.

After chatting for a while, it was lunchtime. Jiang Tao waved to Xu Li, who was squatting on the ground studying the blueberry bonsai.

"Honey, let's take two pots home and grow them. They're both beautiful and practical."

Xu Li walked over to Jiang Tao and hugged his arm affectionately. Her smile was so sweet that Jiang Bing felt her blood sugar rise a little.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Seeing her second brother and sister-in-law's lovey-dovey behavior, Jiang Bing clicked her tongue in amazement.

With this kind of adorable affection, they don't seem like an old married couple who have been married for six or seven years at all!
Anyone who didn't know better would think the two had just started dating and were deeply in love!

"Okay, you can bring as many as you want, they're all ours."

Jiang Tao's doting expression made Jiang Bing incredibly envious, prompting her to protest from the side:

"Hey you two, are you going to call us for lunch or not? I'm almost full from eating your dog food!"

Jiang Tao laughed and said, "Hehe, who told you to be a single dog? What else would you eat if not dog food?"

"Second sister-in-law! Look at my second brother! He called me a single dog! What kind of brother talks to his sister like that!"

Jiang Bing pouted, hugged Xu Li's arm, and began to whine sweetly:

"My young heart has been severely traumatized, and it can only be healed by having a big meal at noon today."

"Okay, okay! I'll treat you to a big meal! You can choose the place; wherever you want to go, that's where we'll go."

Xu Li smiled and patted her sister-in-law's head, her eyes filled with doting affection.

The saying "an elder sister-in-law is like a mother" perfectly describes the relationship between Xu Li and Jiang Bing.

Although both are sisters-in-law, Jiang Bing clearly didn't feel as comfortable with Zhang Xiaoyan as she did with Xu Li.

When she's in front of Xu Li, she can act cute and charming, laugh and joke without caring about her image, and be herself as she pleases.

Xu Li is not only her second sister-in-law, but also her best friend and confidante.

She could share any of her innermost thoughts with Xu Li; there were no secrets between them.

"Let's go to Black Angus BBQ at MixC! I need to eat lots of meat to heal my emotional wounds~"

Jiang Bing didn't stand on ceremony with Xu Li and readily decided on the location for lunch today.

Black Bull BBQ is located in the food court on the 5th floor of MixC Mall. It's very popular and is known as the "queue king" of MixC Mall.

Both the food and service were excellent, and the average cost per person was around 300 yuan, which is considered a middle-class level of spending.

"Okay, let's go to Black Bull BBQ. I'm craving some meat anyway."

Xu Li looked at Jiang Tao and gave him a look that said, "You'd better figure it out."

Jiang Tao shrugged indifferently and said, "Alright, wherever you two say we'll go, I'm easygoing."

Jiang Bing exclaimed happily, "Let's set off now! I didn't even have time for breakfast this morning, and my stomach is growling."

"Let's go, let's go."

Jiang Tao raised his hand and glanced at his watch; it was already past 11:40 a.m.

I estimate that it will be past noon by the time I drive to MixC, which will be lunchtime.

The three of them left chatting and laughing. Jiang Tao drove the two of them to MixC Mall and parked the car directly in the B3 parking lot.

Take the elevator directly up to the 5th floor food court.

From afar, you can see a large group of people queuing up outside the Black Bull Barbecue restaurant.

"This restaurant is incredibly popular! With an average cost of 300 yuan per person, how much must they be making in a day?!"

Seeing the booming business of Heiniu Barbecue, Jiang Bing clicked her tongue in amazement, her face full of envy.

Jiang Tao laughed and said, "Why do I care how much they earn in a day? They're just giving you a dollar, aren't they?"

"Second brother, I still prefer the way you swipe your card without saying a word."

Jiang Bing rolled her eyes and muttered a speechless complaint.

Xu Li was amused by the lively conversation between the two siblings, which drew the attention of many passersby.

She already had a great figure, was beautiful, and loved to laugh.

A woman like this has an off-the-charts level of charm.

Seeing that there were still quite a few people waiting in line for food, Jiang Bing's eyes lit up, and she suggested:
"Second brother, why don't you wait in line here first? My sister-in-law and I will go shopping for clothes this afternoon."

"No need to queue, look after your second brother."

Jiang Tao smiled smugly and strode towards the service counter of Black Bull Barbecue.

"Hello sir, welcome to Black Bull BBQ."

"The restaurant is currently full and you will need to wait in line for your meal. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."

"Would you like me to get you a queue number?"

The receptionist, dressed in a maroon women's suit skirt, was quite friendly.

"Hello beautiful, could you please arrange a table for me as soon as possible?"

As Jiang Tao spoke, he reached out and handed the MixC VIP card that Du Taiming had given him earlier to the waiter.

This MixC Premium VIP Card is valid at all stores within the mall.
