Chapter 173 Investigating the Meteorite and Buying Beef Rolls! (3-in-1, please subscribe~~)

Today is Jiang Tao's first time driving a Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Even on the bustling streets of Beijing.

Such a large machine certainly has a lot of prestige.

Looking at the family cars on the road that cost tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Jiang Tao did indeed have a sense of looking down on everyone.

Besides enhancing one's image, luxury cars provide a sense of emotional fulfillment that far surpasses that of ordinary cars.

Jiang Tao used to not understand why those rich people would spend millions or tens of millions to buy a car.

I always thought they were just throwing money away, that they were foolish and had too much money.

Now, he gradually understands.

Once the wealthy have their material needs met, they seek stimulation on a spiritual level.

Luxury homes, luxury cars, and a lavish lifestyle can provide emotional fulfillment that most people cannot experience or even imagine.

Just like the saying goes—you can't imagine the happiness of the rich!
Now that Jiang Tao has gradually become wealthy, he has also begun to experience that kind of happiness.

He used to live alone in Beijing, going home about once a month.

After returning home, he would take Xu Li and Jiang Xue out for meals and drinks, visit the zoo, or go hiking in a scenic area.

Enjoy this rare and happy time together as a family of three.

A day's worth of food and drinks won't cost more than 500 yuan.

Of course, that was under very frugal circumstances, when traveling on a budget.

With Jiang Tao's meager salary in the past, he couldn't afford to be extravagant even if he wanted to.

He once asked his daughter, Jiang Xue, what her favorite food was.

Without even thinking, she blurted out that she loved Hu's Big Plate Chicken.

Hu's Big Plate Chicken is a well-known chain restaurant specializing in big plate chicken in Jiang Tao's hometown.

The price is not high, and the average cost per person is less than 100 yuan.

300 yuan is enough for a family of three to have a hearty meal.

But that was the best food Jiang Xue had ever eaten and the best restaurant she had ever been to.

Since arriving in Beijing this year, Jiang Tao and Xu Li have taken Jiang Xue to many high-end hotels for meals.

Du Ennan and Xu Li also took her to several famous Michelin three-star restaurants in Beijing.

In addition, most of Jiang Xue's classmates at Eddie Kindergarten came from families that were also well-off.

When the children play and chat, they often talk about things like food.

Right now, Jiang Xue's food map in Beijing is much more extensive than that of old Jiang Tao.

High-end restaurants such as Chao Shang Chao, Jing Zhao Yin, Xin Rong Ji, Jing Ji, Fu Chun Ju, Fu Rong Wu Shuang, etc.

Jiang Tao didn't know it, but the little guy was very familiar with it.

Her favorite dish, Hu's Big Plate Chicken, is no longer on her list of favorites.

I have wronged my wife and children in the past.

Now that his personal savings are growing, Jiang Tao is trying his best to make up for what he owes to Xu Li and his daughter Jiang Xue.

He would buy Xu Li clothes worth thousands or tens of thousands of yuan without batting an eye, showing no emotion whatsoever.

He can buy bags worth tens of thousands of yuan without hesitation.

An increase in wealth also significantly improves the quality of life.

"To make money, I still need to work harder!"

While driving, listening to Xu Li and Du Ennan chatting away in the back seat, Jiang Tao's thoughts wandered.

His desire for money intensified.

"With Brother Tongzi and all sorts of strange and wonderful things he discovered, making tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, in the future will be no problem!"

"With the guaranteed income from the Lucky Toad and the BAIC EU5, we have 60 yuan a month, which is enough to ensure our whole family can live comfortably."

"The development prospects of the Eight Treasures Pickles and Delicious Barbecue Sauce are also very promising. If managed well, they can generate considerable profits every year."

"And then there's... the path to becoming a sports star, or a top streamer, which seems kind of interesting?"

Who doesn't dream of becoming a star?
Previously, Jiang Tao saw that other live streamers could receive hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of gifts in one night, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't envious.

In addition, he was quite confident in his looks, so he wondered if he could also start a live stream and attract young women, wives, rich women and the like to send him gifts and earn some extra money.

Clearly, he was overthinking it.

The profession of online broadcaster can be described as two completely opposite extremes: male and female broadcasters.

Even if a female streamer has no talent, as long as she is pretty enough and shows off her shoulders and cleavage, she will have a large group of admirers showering her with gifts.

If you happen to meet a top-ranked player with decent skills, you can easily earn tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of yuan a month.

On the other hand, for male live streamers, no matter how handsome you are, if you don't have any talent or know how to create a lively atmosphere, it will be difficult to attract fans.

Not to mention getting everyone to send gifts.

Of course, some lucky male anchors can win the favor of wealthy women, and as long as they are willing to offer themselves, they can also earn a good income.

Jiang Tao had such an opportunity before, but he ultimately resisted the temptation of the rich woman and supported himself through his own efforts.

The previous attempts failed because, apart from being handsome, he was practically useless.

He's not good at singing, and he's not good at public speaking either. He has a little bit of humor, but that's about it.

Each time he goes live, the number of viewers in the live stream never exceeds 20.

With that little bit of popularity, you can't even make money, let alone cover the data charges and electricity costs.

The situation is very, very different now than before.

In addition to obtaining 'System-level Free Fighting', he also benefited from the [Body Strengthening Treadmill] and several special mission rewards.

His physical condition has far surpassed that of ordinary people.

In a sense, he is no longer an "ordinary person" but has become exceptionally outstanding.

Of course, most importantly, he is now richer and more confident than before in trying all sorts of things!

He's restarting his livestreaming career, and this time he's even more confident!
Of course, what he coveted most was the generous rewards from the [Path to Sports Star] mission!

While driving, my mind was filled with countless thoughts, and it took about an hour.

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class was parked downstairs in the Baigezhuang New Village residential area.

"Honey, Nan Nan, bye-bye! I wish you both a successful work day and a happy day."

After getting out of the car, Xu Li waved to the two people with a smile at the window, then turned around and swayed her waist as she walked towards the unit door.

"Jiang Tao, I really envy you and Lily..."

Seeing Jiang Tao and Xu Li's loving relationship, Du Ennan felt envious but also a little sad.

She thought of her husband again.

In the past, she and her husband treated each other with respect and were very happy every day.

“Look ahead, there’s still a long road ahead, don’t you think, Du Ennan?”

Jiang Tao knew about Du Ennan's situation and whispered a word of comfort.

Du Ennan laughed and said, "Hehe, yes, looking forward, I'm very lucky to have met you and Lily, to know you two as a couple. I feel much better than before."

"Whether you suffer or enjoy life, it's still just one day. Life is short, so seize the day and enjoy it while you can."

As Jiang Tao spoke, he turned the car around and drove towards MixC Mall.

It took another half hour to park the Mercedes-Benz G-Class in the B2 parking lot of MixC Shopping Mall.

"Mr. Du, we've arrived at MixC. My mission is complete. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

After parking his car in an empty parking space, Jiang Tao turned around and jokingly said something to Du Ennan with a smile.

"Jiang Tao, I've noticed you've been quite mischievous lately."

Du Ennan also jokingly teased Jiang Tao.

As they spent more time together and got to know each other better, they became increasingly familiar with each other.

The initial sense of unfamiliarity and distance gradually disappeared.

Those who know Jiang Tao well, those who can hang out with him, know that he actually has a very humorous personality.

Jiang Tao laughed heartily, "Haha, where am I being cheeky? I'm clearly a very serious person."

"Alright, enough with the chit-chat, I have to get up and get to work. Do you know why I'm driving this car today?"

Du Ennan looked at Jiang Tao with a smile and asked him a somewhat inexplicable question.

Jiang Tao laughed and said, "Because your big ox only has two seats, it can't seat three people?"

"Are you genuinely unaware, or are you just pretending to be stupid?"

Du Ennan rolled her eyes at Jiang Tao and said with a slight smile:

"Didn't you send your car for repairs? You and Lily can use this car for now."

"You can also consider it a small reward from me for helping me treat my insomnia."

"We each got what we needed, so neither of us needs to thank the other."

Jiang Tao laughed and said, "Goodness, you're so willing to lend me a car worth millions? Aren't you afraid I'll crash it too?"

Du Ennan said confidently, "With the insurance company covering it, you can drive with peace of mind."

"Haha, alright then, I won't stand on ceremony with you, after all, we're in-laws!"

Jiang Tao didn't stand on ceremony with Du Ennan and accepted her kindness with a smile.

Jiang Tao now has a better understanding of his in-laws.

Since she offered to lend me her car, she must genuinely want to lend it to me and isn't just being polite.

Moreover, I don't have a car now, so it's not very convenient for me to go anywhere.

"You're welcome. If you're going to be polite with me, I won't acknowledge you as my in-law."

Du Ennan smiled and said, "By the way, Jiang Tao, I'll have to trouble you to come to my house tonight."

"I was not hospitable enough yesterday. This morning I had Wang Ma clean the guest room."

"It's getting late, so you and Lily can stay at my place. No matter how nice the hotel is, it's not as clean and hygienic as home."

Jiang Tao laughed and said, "Look at you, being so polite again."

"Alright, I won't stand on ceremony with you anymore, and I won't waste any more words with you. I'm leaving, you can go too."

After Du Ennan finished speaking, she pushed open the back door of the car and stepped out of the car with light movements.

As she walked to the driver's seat, Du Ennan smiled and waved goodbye to Jiang Tao.

Then, she turned around and walked towards the elevator in the underground parking lot.

After watching Du Ennan walk away, Jiang Tao raised his hand and glanced at the green Submariner on his wrist.

It's only a little past 9 a.m., still very early.

There's still an hour before the streamer named Li Dagang starts broadcasting.

"Let's go check out that meteorite over at Xiaosha River first."

"That meteorite is worth 88.8 yuan, which is more than the value of a beef roll."

With that in mind, Jiang Tao started the car and drove his G-Wagon straight towards Xiaoshahe urban village.

About half an hour later, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class pulled up next to Jiang Tao's 4.2-meter truck outside Xiaoshahe urban village. "Good morning, old buddy!"

"Look what good friend I've brought you today. You two chat for a while, I have some important business to attend to."

After getting out of the car, Jiang Tao smiled and said something to his old friend before striding into the village.

He had lived in Xiaoshahe urban village for more than six years, and coming here felt like returning to his hometown, Jiangjiazhuang.

In addition, he also had the coordinates of the meteorite on his retina.

After entering the village, Jiang Tao walked for seven or eight minutes, making several turns, until he arrived at a large puddle.

This puddle is located in the very center of Xiaoshahe urban village.

The puddle is circular in shape and has a diameter of about 100 meters.

It's called a big puddle, but there's actually not much water inside; large areas of dry land are exposed.

There are also some wild-growing trees such as willows, poplars, and locusts in the puddle.

Last winter, when the temperature was still low, the puddles, big and small, were covered in ice.

After school, the children in the village often run to the ice surface of the puddles to play.

Now that the temperature has risen and the ice has melted, very few people go into the puddles to play anymore.

Hmm... or perhaps "mud puddle" would be a more accurate description!
The mud pit was full of mud, and any child who went down there would inevitably get a beating when they got home.

At this time of day, there are quite a few pedestrians passing by the puddle.

Jiang Tao tried several times to summon Tongzi Ge to retrieve the "target object" from the puddle.

But it either indicates that there are other observers nearby or that he is too far away.

Well, for that 88 yuan meteorite, Jiang Tao really has to go down into this mud pit.

Of course, not now.

Now, in broad daylight with many pedestrians around, he didn't want to become the center of attention.

"Let's wait until it's less crowded in the evening, or come back at night."

"Anyway, I doubt anyone will pick that up, and it's perfectly safe to leave it in the puddle."

After looking around for a while, Jiang Tao turned around and started to walk back to the car at the entrance of the village.

Back in the car, it was exactly 10 a.m.

Jiang Tao didn't rush to drive away; he first took out his phone and opened the Kuaishou app.

After entering the name "Li Dagang" into the search bar, several live streamers were quickly found.

One of the muscular, large men immediately caught Jiang Tao's attention.

Among the several streamers that appear after searching for "Li Dagang", he has the most fans, with more than 800 million.

On the Kuaishou and Douyin platforms, this level of fan base is considered top-tier for livestreamers.

At this moment, the icon above Li Dagang's profile picture shows that he is currently live streaming.

Jiang Tao first followed this "money-bringing boy" and then entered the live stream.

"Hey guys, today I'm bringing you whole cut beef from Inner Mongolia province."

"I've already let everyone try it, and it's definitely genuine, whole-cut beef."

"The original price was 58, and it costs 48 to supply supermarkets. Today, in our live broadcast room, I've brought down the price for our family members!"

"28! You won't regret buying this. You can get authentic Inner Mongolian beef for just 28 yuan."

"Our beef is absolutely incomparable to the synthetic beef on the market..."

"Look at the texture, look at the color, it's absolutely genuine, the real original cut beef."

Inside the live stream, Li Dagang ate a beef roll while demonstrating it in detail to the camera.

Jiang Tao looked at the beef rolls that Li Dagang was showing in the live broadcast room, and then recalled the beef rolls he had eaten last night.

The difference between the two is quite obvious.

"Logically speaking, such a big internet celebrity should cherish her reputation, so the chances of her knowingly selling fakes are not high."

"Could it be that we were scammed by the merchant who was promoting our product?"

Li Dagang has over 7 million followers and more than 10,000 viewers in his live streams, making him a popular online streamer.

Putting yourself in his shoes, if Jiang Tao were Li Dagang, he certainly wouldn't deceive his fans for such a small amount of money.

"According to Brother Tongzi's intelligence, this Li Dagang will provide compensation of ten times the price for counterfeit goods. I guess he was tricked and made a fool of this time."

While watching Li Dagang's live stream, Jiang Tao secretly analyzed the situation.

Then, he clicked on the yellow shopping cart icon in the live stream, found the beef rolls the seller was selling, and placed an order.

The daily intelligence system stipulates that a maximum of 2 yuan worth of beef rolls can be purchased, but Jiang Tao directly pushed it to the maximum limit of 2 yuan.

He bought 356 boxes of beef rolls, each costing 56 yuan, and filled in "Jiang's Food Factory" as the address.

The question is about providing benefits to their own employees.

However, most businesses won't ask customers why they're buying things, as that's their privacy.

After being charged 19936 yuan, Jiang Tao was too lazy to watch any longer and left the live stream.

"The third piece of intelligence is pending processing, the second is done, and now for the first one, how do we make a show of force..."

Jiang Tao frowned slightly in thought.

If he bypasses Jiang Yi and directly puts pressure on Han Mei, this favor won't fall on his shoulders.

Wouldn't that mean wasting money and time?
Jiang Tao wouldn't do something that was thankless and exhausting.

……

Jiang Tao was at the entrance of Xiaoshahe Village pondering how to help Jiang Yi out of her predicament and how to gain her favor.

Jiang Yi is currently being scolded in Han Mei's office.

Ever since she refused to go to a private drinking party hosted by a school board member with Han Mei.

Han Mei then started nitpicking and finding fault with her, finding fault with everything she did!

So what if she's pretty and has a good figure?
At 33 and still unmarried, everyone knows you're waiting for the right offer to snag a rich husband!
What are you pretending to be innocent in front of me?!

I came from that time when you were here!

"Alright, you can go now. Just pay more attention to your work in the future! If any parents complain about you again, it won't be as simple as just having your bonus deducted!"

After reprimanding Jiang Yi, Han Mei waved her hand and told her to leave.

"Goodbye, Director Han."

Jiang Yi had another 1000 yuan deducted from her bonus, but she dared not speak out. After saying goodbye to Han Mei, she turned and walked towards the door.

From behind, Jiang Yi's graceful figure is alluring and indeed very attractive, a fact that Han Mei has to admit.

No wonder that Chairman Liu couldn't forget her after just one meeting.

"Young people are still too young. What's wrong with finding a powerful backer?"

"I only earn a little over ten thousand yuan a month, which isn't even enough for Chairman Liu to buy a bottle of wine."

Han Mei shook her head and sighed inwardly.

Once upon a time, she was just like Jiang Yi, an ordinary kindergarten teacher.

Then, relying on her beauty, she hooked up with a school board member and gradually rose from a junior teacher to her current position as director.

Now, she owns a car, a house, and savings in Beijing, living a more affluent life than most people.

With Jiang Yi's looks, if she wanted to, marrying into a wealthy family, let alone a multi-millionaire or even a billionaire, wouldn't be difficult at all.

To say nothing of the distant past, the school board member surnamed Liu who took a liking to her already had a net worth of over 100 million.

If Jiang Yi were to date that School Chairman Liu, she would undoubtedly receive tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan in pocket money each month.

She might even be able to rise to a higher social status and become a wealthy woman.

But Jiang Yi was clearly not interested in this kind of thing, and she refused Han Mei's invitations several times without hesitation.

Even when targeted by Han Mei and fined for various reasons, Jiang Yi showed no intention of compromising.

For a time, Han Mei had no way to deal with her.

But she won't give up.

If they could bring Jiang Yi and Liu Xiaodong together, Han Mei and her husband would also reap huge benefits.

Jingle Bell--

The cell phone on my desk suddenly rang.

Han Mei turned her gaze away from Jiang Yi and looked at her phone, where she saw an unfamiliar number originating from Beijing.

This phone number is very ordinary and clean; it doesn't have any advertising, promotional, or courier service information.

"Hello."

After Han Mei answered the phone, she greeted him with a puzzled voice.

"Director Han, you don't want your husband to know about your affair with Wang Tianheng, do you?"

Hearing the man's voice on the other end of the phone, a chill instantly ran from Han Mei's tailbone to the top of her head!

He knows about his relationship with Tianheng!
If this gets out, Han Mei's fate will be more than just disgraced.

Her marriage is also coming to an end, and she may even suffer the greatest possible revenge from her husband!

The thrill of breaking taboos, the sense of transgression, is extremely tempting.

However, the consequences of being exposed are extremely serious.

"Who are you? What do you want?!"

Han Mei's voice trembled slightly as she spoke; this matter had been too damaging to her, and she dared not take any chances.

"I'm Jiang Yi's friend. Director Han, would you do me the honor of having lunch with us today?"

"I think there must be some misunderstanding between you two. If you all sit down and have a meal together, you can talk it out."

"The location is Meizhou Dongpo near MixC Mall, right?"

What do you think, Director Han?

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Tao was talking to himself and wasn't actually discussing anything with Han Mei.

He had something on Han Mei that he could use against her, so he wasn't afraid that Han Mei wouldn't give in.

"it is good……"

Han Mei hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement.

When she heard Jiang Tao claim to be Jiang Yi's friend, she vaguely guessed why he was looking for her.

It doesn't seem like they're trying to blackmail me?

"By the way, Director Han, could you add me on WeChat later? It's this phone number. I'll send you some documents."

Jiang Tao hung up the phone after saying just one sentence.

With trembling hands, Han Mei copied Jiang Tao's phone number to the WeChat friend request page and then sent a friend request.

Her friend request was accepted very quickly.

Jiang Tao also sent the evidence he downloaded in the early hours of the morning to Han Mei's phone.

After reading Jiang Tao's message, Han Mei felt a chill run down her spine.
