Financial freedom starts with the daily intelligence system!

Chapter 167 Feeding Jiang Yi increases her favorability! (3-in-1, please subscribe~~)

Jiang Jiaqi's parents both do odd jobs, not even temporary ones.

The boss who works for you will at most provide you with an accident insurance policy worth a little over 100 yuan a year.

In case of any unexpected events, there will be a safety net.

They had never even heard of the "five social insurances and one housing fund".

To put it bluntly, the older generation in rural areas are trading their time and health for money.

Every penny earned is hard-earned money.

They will be forced to retire when they get old and no one wants them anymore.

Jiang Tao had heard his mother say before that the oldest woman who used to work odd jobs on their truck was over 80 years old.

Rural elderly people without social insurance and housing fund are like living in two completely different worlds compared to urban retirees who do.

The salary offered by Jiang Tao is not low, and more importantly, it includes five social insurances and one housing fund.

Moreover, because a legitimate company has been registered, social security can be handled in Beijing.

Based on a net monthly pay of 5000 yuan, the gross salary should be at least 7000 yuan!

If parents can have jobs with such good benefits, they can enjoy their old age with a decent pension after retirement.

They no longer have to struggle to make ends meet like the elderly folks in the village who rely on the meager monthly allowance of just over one hundred yuan from the government.

"Thank you, Uncle Tao, for giving my parents such a wonderful opportunity."

"I'll ask them after work and give you an answer on my phone tonight, okay?"

Jiang Jiaqi looked at Jiang Tao with eyes full of gratitude.

She could easily tell that Uncle Tao wanted to help his parents.

Jiang Tao nodded and smiled, "Okay, ask them. It would be best if they could come, but we won't force them if they don't want to."

Jiang Jiaqi quickly said, "With such a good job and such good benefits, I think they will definitely come!"

"How's your work going here? Do you have any comments or suggestions?"

As Jiang Tao walked toward the door, he chatted casually with Jiang Jiaqi.

"No complaints, everything is great! Working with Uncle Tao feels fantastic!"

Jiang Jiaqi's words were not actually flattery towards Jiang Tao.

Every word she spoke was the honest truth in her heart.

Currently, only she, Jiang Tao's parents, and others are at the Jiang's Food Factory.

Jiang Jiaqi's family is considered junior in the village's hierarchy, so she has to call Jiang Tao's parents "grandpa" and "grandma."

Mr. and Mrs. Jiang took good care of their granddaughter from the same village, treating her like family.

We would bring her some of the best food and drinks we could find.

She would bring any leftover fruit she bought at home to the company to share with Jiang Jiaqi, feeding her all sorts of things.

I even brought her over 5 jin (2.5 catties) of braised beef from my hometown yesterday.

Based on market prices, this 5-plus kilograms of braised beef is worth two or three hundred yuan.

Jiang Jiaqi feels like she's found her tribe at the food factory. She goes to work happily every day and leaves happily every day.

After working for almost a year after graduation, she experienced the joy of work for the first time.

This was also the first time I truly liked a job.

She felt she could work at Jiang's Food Factory for the rest of her life!

She also wants to make it a lifelong career.

At least, that's the case so far.

While chatting, Jiang Tao and Jiang Jiaqi walked out of the control room together and returned to the food factory's office.

The food factory currently has only three small offices in its office area.

One of them was the general manager's office reserved for Jiang Tao, the general manager.

The room was furnished with an office desk and chair set and a desktop computer.

The room right next to it was Jiang Bing's office, the vice president's office.

The last room is the office for Jiang's parents and Jiang Jiaqi.

"Alright, Xiaoqi, go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about me. I'll stay in the office by myself for a while."

"Okay, Uncle Tao, just call me if you need anything."

After Jiang Jiaqi led Jiang Tao on the tour, she turned around and went out to her office to continue working.

After watching Jiang Jiaqi leave, Jiang Tao sat down in the executive chair behind his desk.

Then I took out my phone from my pocket and found more than a dozen comments on Xianyu (a second-hand marketplace app).

Some wanted to bargain, while others said their students wanted Jiang Tao to give it to them for free—all sorts of oddballs were there.

There was only one person who seemed genuinely interested in buying, but when he asked if he could negotiate a discount, Jiang Tao directly refused.

He's not in a hurry to sell this thing; if the price isn't right, he'll wait.

After browsing Xianyu (a second-hand marketplace app) for a while, Jiang Tao scrolled through his WeChat Moments again.

After that, I browsed the trending news for a while.

Then, in the small group chat of Tianjiazhuang Cattle Farm, I chatted with my uncle and Liu Zhiyuan about the progress of their work at the cattle farm.

In recent days, as the international trade situation has become increasingly tense, beef prices have remained stable and are showing a positive trend.

The price of live cattle has remained stable at around 25 yuan without much change.

The cattle sale at the cattle farm is still ongoing.

We sold over 40 more this morning, bringing the total sales to over 70 yuan.

The situation is very good.

Based on the current sales situation, the entire project will be sold out in about a week, marking the successful completion of the project.

By then, it will be almost time for the Qingming Festival holiday.

My parents are going back to their hometown to pay respects to their ancestors.

Jiang Tao also planned to take Xu Li, Jiang Xue, and Lao San on a vacation and go back to his hometown.

We'll also gather the shareholders together then and distribute the money in the common account.

Before we knew it, it was 5:30 pm.

It's time for Jiang's Food Factory to close for the day.

Seeing this, Jiang Tao put away his phone, got up, and went next door to call Jiang Jiaqi to leave work together.

"Uncle Tao, this afternoon I talked to my dad and mom about the recruitment situation here."

"They both said they wanted to come when they heard about the offer you made! They asked me to ask you when they could come."

Jiang Jiaqi looked at Jiang Tao with a beaming smile, so happy she felt like she could fly. Her eyes also held a hint of admiration as she looked at him.

She felt a great sense of accomplishment as a daughter for being able to find such a well-paid, clean, and easy job for her parents.

Jiang Tao laughed and said, "They can come anytime once they've settled things at home. Oh, and tell them to keep their train tickets safe; I'll reimburse them when they arrive."

"Yes, thank you, Uncle Tao! I thank you on behalf of my parents!"

"You still know to call me uncle? You don't need to be so formal with your uncle in the future."

"Hehe, this isn't about being polite with Uncle Tao. One should know how to repay kindness!"

"Uncle Tao has helped our family so much. If I don't even say thank you, wouldn't I be an ingrate?"

"Haha, you actually have a conscience."

"That's right! From now on, I will definitely follow Uncle Tao without wavering. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. If you tell me to chase a dog, I will never chase a chicken."

"Haha, where did you learn all these rhymes, you little rascal?"

Jiang Tao was amused by Jiang Jiaqi's fluent, rhyming speech.

“This isn’t just a rhyme; it’s my sincere feeling for Uncle Tao.”

The two chatted and laughed as they walked.

After stepping out of the gate, Jiang Jiaqi first locked the large iron gate.

They then continued walking alongside Jiang Tao toward the bus stop near the food factory.

They took the same bus home, but in completely opposite directions.

The bus on Jiang Tao's side arrived first. After he boarded, scanned the QR code, and waved goodbye to Jiang Jiaqi through the window, the bus drove away from the station.

[Ding! Jiang Jiaqi's affection for you has increased to 70 points, and your friendship level has reached 70 points!]

"what……"

Seeing the virtual interface pop up automatically in front of everyone without warning, Jiang Tao wasn't panicked, just a little surprised.

He hadn't actually considered Jiang Jiaqi as one of his friends before.

I've always treated her as my junior.

"It was an unexpected bonus."

With a thought, Jiang Tao closed the system interface and continued to look at the scenery rushing past the window.

Speaking of which, he hasn't taken the bus in a while since winning that Mercedes-Benz GLS in the lottery.

Taking a ride occasionally allows me to reflect on my past life, and it always brings back many memories.

After more than six years of living in Beijing, I finally settled down in the capital this year.

He now has a house that is entirely his own.

And it wasn't just one set, it was three sets, and all paid in full!

From a migrant worker living in a rented apartment in an urban village, he transformed into a landlord.

He went from being a laborer struggling in the lower strata of society to a middle-class individual with considerable wealth.

This step directly crosses two social strata.

Jiang Tao is getting closer and closer to achieving his grand dream of financial freedom.

If we're lucky, a single piece of intelligence might be enough to make it happen!
At 6 p.m., bus route 463 stopped at the Baigezhuang Xincun residential area stop.

After swiping his card and getting off the bus, Jiang Tao walked towards the main gate of the residential area.

Jingle Bell--

Jiang Tao had only taken a few steps when his cell phone rang.

I took out my phone and saw that the caller ID showed "Wife".

"Hey, wife."

"I'm almost at the entrance of the residential area."

"Okay, I'll come find you."

"okay bye."

After exchanging a few brief words on the phone, Jiang Tao turned and crossed the road, heading towards the Jingkelong supermarket across the street from his residential complex.

I met up with Xu Li and Du Ennan in the fresh produce section of the supermarket.

"Jiang Tao, I'm here to freeload at your house again."

When Du Ennan saw Jiang Tao, she chuckled and greeted him, even making a self-deprecating remark.

"Haha, you are a very important guest in our family. We would welcome you even if you came every day."

Jiang Tao genuinely doesn't mind Du Ennan coming to his house for a meal at all, and he's not bothered by it at all.

Du Ennan's father, Du Taiming, has a net worth similar to Zhang Chao's father, Wang Minglong, which is at least two or three billion.

Moreover, Du Taiming is not like Wang Minglong, a womanizer who flirts with women everywhere.

He and his wife were devoted to each other for their entire lives, and they only had one daughter, Du Ennan.

To put it bluntly, after he passes away, all his assets will belong to Du Ennan.

Therefore, Du Ennan is definitely a rich and beautiful woman, a young and wealthy woman.

So many people would love to befriend her, but they don't even have the opportunity.

The three of them pushed a shopping cart and did a lot of shopping in the supermarket.

They bought all sorts of vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, and dairy products, filling the cart to the brim. When it came time to pay, Xu Li used the shopping card with a stored value of 4999 yuan that Jiang Tao had drawn earlier to pay over 1200 yuan.

As the three of them were leaving, the third brother also came home from get off work and drove straight to the supermarket entrance.

After the four of them drove back to their apartment building, Jiang Tao, Xu Li, and Jiang Bing finished carrying all the bags and packages.

As for Du Ennan, she is now close to her due date, so naturally she cannot be allowed to carry things.

The four of them had just returned home when their parents also came home from get off work.

When Du Ennan came to visit, the two elders welcomed her warmly and prepared a delicious meal.

This is Du Ennan's third visit to our home, and she has already become quite familiar with Lao Jiang's family.

Three women make a drama, so there are four women in total.

Xu Li, Du Ennan, Mom, and Lao San—the four women chatted enthusiastically, one topic after another.

Jiang Tao and his father opened a bottle of Moutai and chatted while drinking.

Everyone chatted about their own things, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

The meal started around 7 p.m. and didn't end until after 8 p.m.

After a satisfying meal, Xu Li, Du Ennan, and Jiang Bing decided to go to a beauty salon called "Zhu Yan Women's High-End Club" in Huilongguan for a facial.

Du Ennan is a VIP member of that store, and Xu Li and Jiang Bing can share the balance in her membership card.

She said she went to the hospital very little after she got pregnant, and she still had more than 30 yuan in her account.

Mom wasn't interested in beauty treatments or anything like that, so she went downstairs to dance with Dad.

The elderly couple has now become obsessed with dancing and goes every day.

It's a good way to get physical activity and also to lift your spirits, and Jiang Tao and Xu Li both support their hobbies.

After resting for more than half an hour after dinner, Jiang Tao changed into his workout gear and got on the treadmill to continue his workout for the day!

Running on the [Body Strengthening Treadmill] for an hour has a high chance of increasing your physique by 1 point.

My physical condition has recovered from the initial weakness to normal during this period, and the effect is quite obvious.

After getting his footing on the tracks, Jiang Tao took a deep breath and pressed the start button.

As the tracks began to rotate at a steady speed, he adjusted his breathing rhythm, swung his arms naturally, and gradually quickened his pace.

After a period of running training, his running technique has improved considerably.

The treadmill speed has been increased from a little over 4 o'clock to over 8 o'clock, more than doubling in speed.

Swish swish, swish swish——

The sounds of tracks turning, engines humming, footsteps pattering, and soft breathing.

The Bluetooth headphones are playing music at a frequency of 180 beats per minute.

Sweat quickly soaked through the sports vest, rolling down the neck and splashing tiny droplets on the metal pedals of the treadmill.

Jiang Tao's calf muscles were taut like a bowstring, and with each step he took, the anti-slip treads on the soles of his feet rubbed against the tracks, producing a subtle sound.

1 minute, 2 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes...

An hour passed quickly.

The mileage on the treadmill has reached 10 kilometers.

From a complete novice runner to now running 10 kilometers in an hour.

This is related to Jiang Tao's persistence recently.

It is also related to the physical fitness boost brought by the [Body Strengthening Treadmill].

Suddenly, Jiang Tao felt a burning sensation spread from his chest to his limbs and bones.

It felt as if countless tiny electric currents were coursing through my veins.

He was all too familiar with this feeling; it was the feeling of receiving rewards after acquiring the physique!

My legs, which were already feeling a little heavy, suddenly felt lighter.

The burning sensation in the lungs transforms into a torrent of cool oxygen.

Even the world in front of me became exceptionally clear.

[You've exercised on the fitness treadmill for 1 hour. Congratulations! You've gained 1 point of fitness bonus!]

Your current physical condition score is 62 (normal).

A deep blue virtual interface suddenly appeared, displaying two notification messages.

I saw the reward settlement screen.

Jiang Tao reached out and pressed the "STOP" button on the treadmill panel, stopping his workout for the day.

"Whoo~"

As he wiped away sweat with a towel draped over the treadmill, Jiang Tao glanced down at his stomach.

Although he didn't specifically train his abs, he just ran on the "fitness treadmill" every day.

But as his physique improved, the excess fat on his stomach decreased significantly, and the outline of his abdominal muscles began to appear faintly.

As my physical condition continues to improve, my physical fitness gets better day by day.

This kind of effort pays off; you get positive feedback immediately after each workout, which is really quite addictive.

"I wonder what would happen if I raised my constitution to 100? Or 1000 points?"

As he walked toward the bathroom, Jiang Tao's mind was wandering to all sorts of random thoughts.

Others can only increase their constitution by a maximum of 30 points using the [Body Strengthening Treadmill].

He himself had no limitations or upper limits.

In theory, his physique can be raised to 1000 points, or even 10000 points!

Judging from the description of "physical condition" by Tongzi Ge and its harsh evaluation criteria.

The upper limit of human physical fitness is estimated to be 100 points.

Moreover, most people would never reach 100 points.

However, Jiang Tao can break through the limitations of the human body and achieve higher values ​​through the [Body Strengthening Treadmill].

Of course, that's a story for another time.

Jiang Tao only has 62 points right now, and Tongzi's evaluation of him is just average.

Reaching the maximum of 100 points is still a long way off.

Jingle Bell--

Before Jiang Tao even reached the bathroom door, his phone, which was on the coffee table in the living room, rang.

I walked over, picked up the phone, and saw it was Xu Li calling.

"Hey, wife."

"Oh, okay, I just finished running, I'll take a shower and then come over."

"Okay, take your time, no rush, bye."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Tao put his phone back on the coffee table and walked towards the bathroom.

I took a hot shower in fifteen minutes.

Then she found a clean set of new clothes in the bedroom closet and changed into them.

Jiang Tao picked up the keys to his BAIC EU5 car hanging in the entryway and went downstairs.

After exiting the building, Jiang Tao quickly found the BAIC EU5 that his father had parked on the side of the road.

The number of gold coins displayed on the roof of the car had reached 1, and Jiang Tao collected them on a whim.

Crackle, clackle——

Countless gold coins rushed towards him, which he exchanged for 1 yuan in cash in his bank card.

Around 9:30 pm.

The BAIC EU5 was parked downstairs at Building 26 of Longzeyuan.

After getting out of the car, Jiang Tao took out several shopping bags from the trunk, walked into the building entrance, and took the elevator to the door of room 1203 on the 12th floor.

Before even entering the room, Jiang Tao could hear Jiang Xue's clear, cheerful laughter.

Now, every day after school, Jiang Yi would bring Jiang Xue home to tutor her and cook all sorts of delicious food for her.

The two spent every day together and their relationship grew closer. When they walked on the street, they were often mistaken for a mother and daughter.

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

Jiang Tao knocked on the door with his free left hand.

"Teacher Jiang, my mom's here! I'll go open the door!"

Click~
The door opened, and Jiang Xue, dressed in a small yoga outfit, was quite surprised to see Jiang Tao standing in the doorway.

"Dad! Why are you picking me up today? Where's Mom?"

"Your mom and godmother went to get a beauty treatment. What, you're not welcoming Dad?"

Jiang Tao smiled and patted the little girl's head before stepping into the room.

Upon entering, Jiang Tao saw Jiang Yi, dressed in a light yoga outfit, get up from a blue yoga mat in the living room with a slightly flustered expression.

Jiang Yi was wearing a white sports bra that exposed a large portion of her neck and bulged out her lower abdomen.

She wore a pair of lake-blue tight yoga pants that accentuated her perfect hip and leg shape.

Her long black hair was tied into a high ponytail at the back of her head.

Her pretty face was flushed and covered in fine beads of sweat, indicating that she had just been doing yoga.

"Ahem, Jiang, Jiang Tao, it's your turn to pick up Xiaoxue today."

Jiang Yi got up from the yoga mat and stepped barefoot onto it, her expression slightly embarrassed as she brushed a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

At this moment, feeling Jiang Tao's subtle gaze fixed on her, Jiang Yi wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground!
She truly hadn't expected Jiang Tao to suddenly visit tonight, catching her completely off guard.

"Her mother had some business with a friend, so I came. I'm sorry to bother you, Teacher Jiang."

As Jiang Tao spoke, he stepped forward and placed the shopping bags he was carrying on the coffee table in the middle of the living room.

"Thank you, Teacher Jiang, for taking care of Xiaoxue during this time. I bought you some fruit at the supermarket outside our community."

"Yay! More fruit to eat! Wow, there are cherries too! Dad, get up and wash some, I want to eat some."

Foodie Jiang Xue's eyes were instantly drawn to the fruit on the coffee table.

With nimble hands, she took out a box of tempting-looking cherries from the shopping bag and asked Jiang Tao to wash them.

Jiang Tao chuckled speechlessly, "This is for your teacher. If you want some, I'll wash it for you when we get home."

"No, I want to eat it now. Teacher Jiang and I are the best of friends. We're inseparable, right, Teacher Jiang?"

Jiang Xue looked at Jiang Yi with a slightly arrogant expression. She didn't treat herself as a guest at all in front of Jiang Yi; she acted like a little hostess.

"Of course, we are best friends."

When Jiang Yi heard Jiang Xue's innocent and childlike words, she smiled, and her fleeting charm made Jiang Tao pause for a moment.

"However, your father is a guest at the teacher's house, so we can't make him do chores."

After giving Jiang Xue a word of instruction with a smile, Jiang Yi looked at Jiang Tao and smiled slightly:

"Thank you for the fruit, Jiang Tao. I'll accept it this time, but please don't be so polite next time."

Jiang Yi's affection for you has increased by 1 point; her current affection level is 74 points (good friend).

[Your friendship with Jiang Yi has improved, reaching 74 points.]

As soon as Jiang Yi finished speaking, a bright blue virtual panel appeared in front of Jiang Tao, displaying two notification messages.

"Sure enough!"

Jiang Tao was overjoyed to see the system notification that his favorability had increased by 1 point, and he wished he could feed him every day from now on.

If you raise your favorability rating to 90, you can get a reward of 1 million and a "Friendship Boat" that can be exchanged for a yacht.

Only a fool wouldn't do something so good!

"Okay, I won't be so polite with you anymore."

Jiang Tao said with a smile, then secretly added in his mind, "Yeah, right."
