Financial freedom starts with the daily intelligence system!

Chapter 168 Special Mission [The Hearts of Parents Amidst Universal Pity] and Generous Rewards! (3-in-1, Please Subscribe~)

Although Jiang Xue was present, Jiang Tao and Jiang Yi were not exactly a single man and woman alone.

But in the middle of the night, when two people of the opposite sex are together, the atmosphere is somewhat ambiguous.

Jiang Tao didn't wait for Jiang Yi to change her clothes before washing the cherries for him and Jiang Xue.

When she suggested going back to her bedroom to change clothes, she simply took Jiang Xue, who was pouting and looking unwilling, downstairs and left.

The father and son got home around 10 p.m., a little later than usual.

My parents have already finished washing up and are waiting in the living room.

Xu Li and Jiang Bing also went home one after the other.

They've already washed, so they don't need to wash again.

The family chatted briefly before going to their respective rooms to sleep.

11:58pm.

When Jiang Tao put the whole family into "sleep mode," he hoped that his third son wouldn't cause any more trouble.

Three new pieces of intelligence were updated shortly after midnight.

【Daily Intelligence 01】:
You had contact with Xu Li yesterday and obtained relevant information—

Xu Li had been unable to conceive for a long time, and she was worried that there might be something wrong with her body.

Actually, you are both in good health; it's just that your time hasn't come yet.

……

Upon seeing the first intelligence report of the day, Jiang Tao turned to look at Xu Li, who was fast asleep beside him.

"Silly wife, these things can't be rushed."

Jiang Tao reached out and gently stroked Xu Li's smooth, silky shoulders exposed outside the blanket, a happy and content smile on his face.

He is satisfied with his current life and is not in a hurry to have a second child.

With a thought, he continued to look at the second piece of information for the day.

Today's Intelligence 02:
You had contact with Jiang Bing yesterday and obtained relevant information—

Jiang Bing's best friend, Li Susu, wanted to borrow 8 yuan from her to open a clothing store, but she never intended to pay it back.

……

"What kind of best friends are these? They're trying to steal the third brother's gold coins!"

"The third brother has a bad eye for making friends."

“Eight thousand yuan is still money. We can’t let it go to outsiders for nothing. I need to give her a few pointers tomorrow.”

After reading the second piece of information, Jiang Tao mentally grumbled a couple of times before continuing to read the third piece.

【Today's Intelligence 03】

You had contact with Jiang Yi yesterday and obtained relevant information——

Han Mei invited Jiang Yi to a private dinner hosted by a school board member, but Jiang Yi declined.

Han Mei harbored resentment and would make things difficult for her at work.

Helping Jiang Yi solve her problems will earn you her favor and friendship.

……

"..."

Upon seeing the third piece of intelligence, Jiang Tao was speechless.

The three pieces of information that appeared today are quite different from those from the past few days!
Surprisingly, not a single piece of intelligence was of high value and could be immediately monetized.

"Jiang Yi was made difficult by Han Mei..."

After seeing the information mentioned in the intelligence report, Jiang Tao pictured a middle-aged woman with curly hair and pink glasses lying down in his mind.

When he and Xu Li went to Eddie Kindergarten for an inspection, it was Han Mei, who was in charge of enrollment, who received them.

Subsequently, Han Mei arranged for Jiang Yi to receive Jiang Tao and Xu Li.

Jiang Tao did have some impression of Han Mei.

That woman, judging from her appearance, was the kind of person who was very shrewd and cunning.

"Inviting Jiang Yi to some private dinner with the school board members is probably just an attempt to pimp out that principal."

"Jiang Yi's ability to withstand the pressure and not go is quite in line with her personality."

"However, this time we've offended Han Mei, and her days with Eddie probably won't be easy from now on."

"Jiang Yi's goodwill and friendship... the key question is, how can I help her?"

For a moment, Jiang Tao was also at a loss.

He only learned about Eddie Kindergarten when he was looking for a school for his daughter.

He only knew Jiang Yi at school and had no other connections or resources.

He wanted to help Jiang Yi, but there was nothing he could do to help her.

"Forget it, I can't come up with any ideas by just thinking about it here. Let's just take it one step at a time."

"If she really can't keep working at Eddie Kindergarten, I'll just help her find a job."

"With Jiang Yi's qualifications, finding a job with a higher salary than at Eddie Kindergarten wouldn't be difficult."

"It's getting late, time to sleep."

After reviewing the three intelligence reports for the day, Jiang Tao finally closed the system interface.

He turned around, put his arm around Xu Li's waist, and started to sleep.

Early the next morning.

After breakfast, the family members went to their respective posts to begin a new day of work.

My parents continued to pickle eight-treasure vegetables at the food factory, and then went back to the market to give them away for free samples.

Although I haven't earned a single penny these past few days, Jiang's Eight Treasures Pickles have become a household name in the Baigezhuang New Village area.

Jiang's Eight Treasure Pickles have won unanimous praise for their unique flavor.

From opening in the morning to closing in the afternoon, several hundred customers come to the store every day to pick up small samples.

Jiang Tao accepted Du Ennan's suggestion and created several WeChat groups for Jiang's Eight Treasures Pickles.

In just a few days, two large groups of 500 people each have been added, bringing together thousands of potential customers from the surrounding communities.

Today is the first day of official sales, and the price is still the same as what Jiang Tao set at 99 yuan per jin.

We will not make any concessions on price.

Once prices drop, it's difficult to raise them back up.

However, during the grand opening promotion period, all customers who join the group can enjoy a buy-one-get-one-free offer as a temporary measure.

Once the promotional offer ends, the price will return to normal.

Give customers a buffer period so they can gradually accept the price of Jiang's Eight Treasures Pickles.

Many customers left the group after hearing the message Jiang Tao announced.

These customers are not part of Jiang's Eight Treasures Pickles' target customer group, and Jiang Tao will not try to retain them.

The price of the Eight Treasures Pickles meant that there wouldn't be many customers, a fact that Jiang Tao had long been aware of.

Moreover, he doesn't need to capture all customers; capturing a small portion is enough.

Offline brick-and-mortar store sales are one aspect, but in the future, Jiang Tao also plans to develop online sales channels, adopting a two-pronged approach.

The food factory can only produce about 500 jin (250 catties) of product every two days, which is not a high output and the sales target is not large.

To maximize profits, Jiang's Eight Treasures Pickles can only and must take the "high-quality route".

Moreover, it benefits from the optimized recipe provided by Tongzige and the double boost of the [Delicious Pickled Vegetable Jar].

Jiang Tao wasn't happy even though he sold it too cheaply.

Jiang Bing continued as before, going to the greenhouses in Cui Village to sell blueberries.

In the morning, Jiang Tao went to Heiniu Barbecue again.

He tried to get Tongzi to directly analyze and optimize Black Bull BBQ's secret barbecue sauce, hoping to find a loophole, but there was no response.

It seems to be the same secret recipe for Eight Treasures Pickles that I learned from Jiang Yi before.

I need to learn the recipe for Black Bull BBQ's barbecue sauce before I can have Brother Tongzi analyze and optimize it.

It looks like we can't save money on buying the formula.

At 11 a.m., Jiang Tao took the internal staff elevator of MixC Mall to the top floor, the 7th floor.

Led by a staff member, they arrived at Du Ennan's office and knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

After hearing Du Ennan's voice inside, Jiang Tao gently pushed the door open and entered.

"Hey, Jiang Tao, it's you. Didn't Lily come along?"

When Du Ennan saw Jiang Tao push open the door and enter the room, she stood up with a smile to greet him and asked about Xu Li's whereabouts.

"Haha, aren't you welcome if I come by myself?"

Jiang Tao didn't act like an outsider at all. He laughed twice after entering the room and plopped down on the guest sofa against the wall.

"You must only come to me when you need something! So, what do you want?"

Du Ennan smiled and said something, then turned around and came out from behind the desk, walking to the sofa opposite Jiang Tao and sitting down.

"As expected, nothing can be hidden from you, Ennan!"

"That's right, Ennan. Yesterday, when Lily, Lao San, and I went to the Black Bull BBQ downstairs, we found that their secret barbecue sauce was delicious."

"Don't you know their boss, Mr. Tian? I'd like to ask Mr. Tian if they sell their barbecue sauce."

Jiang Tao didn't beat around the bush with Du Ennan and directly stated the purpose of his visit.

"Why are you buying Black Angus BBQ's barbecue sauce? Are you planning to open a BBQ restaurant too?"

Du Ennan looked at Jiang Tao with some surprise and confusion upon hearing his words.

"That's something we've considered."

Jiang Tao smiled frankly, making no attempt to hide his true purpose.

He really wanted to open a barbecue restaurant for his parents.

This would not only fulfill their dream of opening a shop, but also allow them to develop it as their own business.

If we could get our hands on the Black Bull BBQ's meat sauce recipe, and then have Brother Tong analyze, optimize, and upgrade it...

The quality of the barbecue sauce will definitely reach a new level.

At that time, it will be hard for my family's barbecue restaurant not to be popular, and it will definitely have a constant stream of customers, just like Black Bull Barbecue.

It's only a matter of time before it becomes a popular restaurant.

"Since you have this idea, I'll act as a go-between for you and Mr. Tian and introduce you two."

"As for their special recipe, you know it's special, it's the core technology of their barbecue restaurant."

"Whether they sell to you or not is beyond my control."

Du Ennan smiled as she looked at Jiang Tao. She liked Jiang Tao very much because he was ambitious and dared to think and act.

For her, connecting Jiang Tao with Mr. Tian from Black Bull Barbecue was not a difficult task.

She was happy to do Jiang Tao a favor.

Jiang Tao nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble Ennan to help me contact that General Manager Tian."

"Okay, I'll call her now."

Du Ennan readily agreed to the request from her in-law Jiang Tao and took it very seriously.

He immediately got up, went back to his desk, picked up his phone, found Tian Wei's number, and dialed it.

beep-

The call was quickly connected, and a woman's clear and pleasant voice came from the other end.

"Hey Ennan, this is like the sun rising in the west today. This is the first time you've called me since we've known each other for so long."

"Is this the first time? You must be mistaken. I remember calling you several times. Weiwei, were you at the store today?"

Du Ennan smiled and said something to Tian Wei, then got straight to the point.

"That's perfect! A good friend of mine is very interested in your barbecue sauce and would like to discuss it with you in person. Are you free now?" "Hehe, thank you for giving me such a big favor. Let's go for a beauty treatment together sometime."

"Okay, I'm in my office. Come on up, I'll wait for you."

After a brief exchange with Tian Wei on the phone, Du Ennan hung up and smiled as she snapped her fingers at Jiang Tao.

"It's done."

Jiang Tao laughed and said, "Thanks, Ennan. I'll treat you to dinner another day."

Du Ennan laughed and said, "Let's not change the date, let's do it today, and I'll go to your house again."

Jiang Tao laughed heartily, "Haha, okay, no problem! You've helped me so much, I should treat you properly."

"If I go there every day, won't you get annoyed with me?"

"I don't know if Lily and the others are annoyed with you, but I'm definitely annoyed."

"what?"

"Haha, slip of the tongue, I'm definitely not annoyed."

"I think you accidentally blurted out your true feelings."

"I swear to God, it was 100% a slip of the tongue!"

Du Ennan and Jiang Tao's friendship level has reached 90 points, earning them the title of "best friend".

In addition, the two are in-laws.

Jiang Xue recognized Du Ennan as her godmother, and after Du Ennan's unborn child is born, it will have to call Jiang Tao and Xu Li godfather and godmother.

The two families are now incredibly close, sharing an extremely good relationship, and can joke around freely with each other.

"By the way, Ennan, have you been having trouble sleeping lately? I've noticed you often post updates on your WeChat Moments late at night."

As they chatted, the topic turned to Du Ennan's long-standing problem of insomnia.

"This is an old problem of mine that I've been used to for years. When I'm too tired to stay awake any longer, I just fall asleep."

Du Ennan smiled helplessly; she herself knew the reason for her insomnia.

After her husband died in the line of duty, she was depressed and anxious for a long time.

She was plagued by various negative emotions for more than two months, and even almost took her own life due to a severe bout of depression.

While hospitalized for depression, Du Ennan accidentally discovered that she was pregnant.

It was the little life inside her that helped her out of the dark cloud that had shrouded her life, helped her overcome depression, and gave her a new lease on life.

Although she regained hope in life and was no longer depressed, her chronic insomnia did not improve much.

Jiang Tao noticed that she had heavy eye bags and looked very tired, which is why he asked her that question.

It's only right to show appropriate concern for Du Ennan, our in-law.

Jiang Tao continued, "Doesn't the hospital have any good solutions either?"

"The doctor said I need to take medicine for my symptoms, but for the health of the baby in my belly, I can persevere."

Du Ennan smiled gently and stroked her round belly, her face radiating a loving glow.

[Ding! Congratulations on triggering the special quest [The Hearts of Parents Are Full of Love]!]

[Task Name]: The Hearts of Parents Are Full of Love and Pity.

[Task Content]: Help Du Ennan overcome sleep disorders and improve sleep quality.

[Task Reward]: 66 RMB in cash, +5 to Constitution, and +3 to Charm!

Just as Jiang Tao opened his mouth to say something, the system interface suddenly appeared without warning.

A special task panel appears above.

"The hearts of parents are always full of love and concern for their children."

"Special mission!"

Upon seeing the special mission panel that suddenly appeared, Jiang Tao's eyes lit up and he was overjoyed!
Originally, he was just asking casually, out of concern for Du Ennan's sleep quality and physical health.

Now, by sheer accident, a special mission has been triggered, and completing it will yield generous rewards.

In this way, Jiang Tao would have no choice but to help!
Moreover, this matter was very simple for him.

It only costs 66 yuan to enable [sleep mode] for Du Ennan.

If it doesn't work the first time, try it twice, three times, or four times.

This task was a complete "easy question" for Jiang Tao, with a difficulty level of only "easy"!

Jiang Tao thought for a moment, then looked at Du Ennan and said, "Ennan, do you know anything about hypnosis?"

"I tried it, but it didn't work for me."

Du Ennan shook his head with a wry smile.

With her financial resources, she naturally tried many methods to treat her insomnia, but none of them were effective.

Jiang Tao laughed and said, "Hehe, that's because others haven't mastered the skills. Why don't you try my cooking?"

"You? You can hypnotize people? Jiang Tao, are you kidding me?"

Du Ennan looked at Jiang Tao with a surprised expression, her face full of disbelief.

The two have known each other for almost two months now.

We wouldn't say we know each other inside and out, but we do have some basic information about each other and a certain understanding of each other's character.

Otherwise, the two would not have become such close friends.

The fact that Jiang Tao could hypnotize people was truly beyond Du Ennan's expectations.

"Hehe, this is a skill I learned from my master. Not to mention you, even Xu Li doesn't know it."

"Besides, I'm still in the theoretical stage and haven't put it into practice yet, so the specific effects are unknown."

As Jiang Tao spoke, he spread his ten fingers and waved his hands in front of Du Ennan.

"So you want me to be your guinea pig?!"

Du Ennan chuckled after hearing Jiang Tao's words, and gave him a playful eye roll.

"There's no harm in giving it a try. Maybe I can really help you solve your insomnia problem completely! Then you'll see how you thank me."

To Du Ennan, Jiang Tao's confident smile seemed a bit too confident.

Du Ennan had also talked to Xu Li about Jiang Tao's deceased mentor, Lao Sun.

In a sense, Old Sun also did a great favor for the Jiang family.

Because of Old Sun's kindness, the Jiang family was able to establish themselves and settle down in the capital.

Old Sun's five houses and more than two million yuan in savings allowed Jiang Tao and his parents to skip seventy or eighty years of hard work and achieve upward social mobility in a short period of time.

Du Ennan laughed and said, "If you can really cure my insomnia without injections or medicine, I'll give you whatever you want. I really want to get a good night's sleep."

Jiang Tao laughed and said, "Okay, there's no time like the present, let's do it tonight. Xu Li and I will come to your house tonight to make arrangements for you."

"Are you serious?"

Du Ennan was somewhat surprised to see that Jiang Tao looked serious and didn't seem to be joking.

She was just being polite and joking with Jiang Tao.

Even a top-tier hospital like Jiang Tao was helpless with his condition, let alone a self-taught "barefoot doctor."

Du Ennan always thought Jiang Tao was joking with her and didn't take it seriously.

But judging from Jiang Tao's expression, he really intends to help himself cure his insomnia!
"Of course it's true, you don't think I'm just making this up, do you?"

Jiang Tao was amused by Du Ennan's reaction and said:

“No, Du Ennan, in your heart, am I that unreliable? How could I joke about something like this?”

"Uh...no, it's just...it's quite surprising. You're quite talented, hehe."

Du Ennan covered her mouth and chuckled, then said:

"Alright, then I'll be your guinea pig and let you practice."

Jiang Tao added:

"You can rest assured about safety. There will be absolutely no side effects for you or your baby. I can assure you of that."

"Well, I believe you."

Du Ennan smiled and nodded.

She wouldn't have agreed to be his guinea pig if she didn't fully trust Jiang Tao.

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

As the two were talking, there was a soft knocking on the door.

Du Ennan looked towards the door and said softly, "Come in."

Crunch!

The office door was pushed open from the outside.

A tall woman with delicate, three-dimensional features, who looked to be in her thirties, walked gracefully into the office.

The top is a brown plaid collared shirt jacket with a stylish design.

Underneath the coat was a light gray base layer.

She wore a pair of light blue wide-leg jeans and Bulgari checkered diamond high heels.

The woman had exquisite makeup on her face and medium-length hair, about chin length.

The hairstyle features natural and soft curls, with the ends slightly curled inwards, giving it a very refined look.

This hairstyle is both fashionable and elegant, and it can also effectively modify the face shape while adding a touch of femininity.

Her dark brown hair color matched her overall makeup and clothing very well.

Da da da--

The soles of the high heels made a crisp, pleasant sound as they stepped on the floor.

"Ennan, is this your very good friend?"

As Tian Wei entered with a smile and greeted Du Ennan, her gaze fell upon Jiang Tao, who had just stood up from the sofa to greet her.

Seeing Jiang Tao get up to greet her, Tian Wei was quite satisfied with his performance; his handsome face easily won over women.

"Hello, Mr. Tian. It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Jiang Tao. I look forward to your guidance."

Jiang Tao greeted Tian Wei with a smile, neither humble nor arrogant.

Although he really wanted Tian Wei's formula, he wasn't about to fawn over her.

"Hello Jiang Tao, my name is Tian Wei."

Tian Wei walked up to Jiang Tao and took the initiative to shake his hand.

Her cheerful personality is quite fitting for her appearance and clothing.

He gives off a very refreshing feeling from the inside out.

"Hello, Mr. Tian."

Jiang Tao reached out and shook hands with Tian Wei, but the hand was removed immediately, showing great manners.

The office's occupant, Du Ennan, greeted the two with a smile:

"We're all on the same side, let's sit down and talk it over."

"Please, Mr. Tian."

"Please, Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Tao and Tian Wei exchanged a smile and sat down on the sofa next to the coffee table almost simultaneously.

"Jiang Tao, I've brought the people for you. The rest is up to you."

Du Ennan smiled at Jiang Tao. Her words seemed like an excuse, but she was actually helping Jiang Tao.

She steered the conversation directly to the main topic, skipping the tedious small talk.

"Mr. Tian, ​​does your company sell your barbecue sauce recipe?"

Jiang Tao didn't waste any words with Tian Wei and went straight to the point.

When Tian Wei heard that Jiang Tao had come for the barbecue sauce, her narrow, almond-shaped eyes blinked slightly.
