Chapter 181 The Change in Attitudes of the Mother-in-Law and Sister-in-Law! (3-in-1, please subscribe~~)

I saw two different career paths on the task panel.

Jiang Tao naturally typed 1 without hesitation!

The rewards for profession 1 and profession 2 differ by a factor of 10!
"We can no longer stand by and watch Jiang Yi waste her time in a career that is not suitable for her."

"We must guide her into a suitable career!"

Jiang Tao looked away from the task panel and glanced at Jiang Yi, who was chatting happily with the two children in the back seat.

She has a pure and beautiful appearance, a gentle and kind personality, and a sweet and charming voice.

It has so many advantages.

Even if she sang children's songs like "dig, dig," she would still become a huge hit!

"Let's find an opportunity to have a good talk with Jiang Yi!"

Jiang Tao hadn't figured out how to talk to Jiang Yi yet, so he put the idea aside for the time being.

You can't just ask someone to quit their job at kindergarten to become a singer for no reason, can you?

But for the 500 million and 10 points of physical fitness reward, he definitely has to complete this task!
Why not do something that benefits both yourself and others?
Jiang Tao put aside his thoughts and looked at Jiang An'an with a smile:
"What would An'an like to eat for lunch today? It's on me, let's celebrate!"

Jiang Hai quickly said, "Mr. Jiang, I'll treat you to lunch today, it has to be me. You already went to a lot of trouble last night."

"Moreover, we only found out about this great opportunity today because you reminded us. Our family owes you a huge favor again."

Jiang An'an also smiled mischievously:

"Uncle Jiang Tao, what would you like to eat? It's on us! Thank you for introducing me to such a great job."

Jiang Yi smiled and looked at Jiang Tao, saying, "My brother is right. We should definitely treat you to lunch today."

"Haha, alright, we can't refuse your kind invitation, so let's go to the Haoyunlai restaurant in Dongxin Store."

"I think the name of this restaurant is quite good. It means that everyone will have good luck and good fortune in the future."

Seeing that Jiang Yi and Jiang Hai insisted on treating everyone, Jiang Tao let them have their way and readily specified the location for the meal.

However, Jiang Hai and his sister were somewhat surprised when they heard that Jiang Tao had specified a place for the dinner.

"Good Luck" is just an inconspicuous roadside eatery in Dongxindian urban village.

If you treat someone to a meal at Haoyunlai Restaurant, even if you eat as much as you want, the cost of a meal will not exceed 1000 yuan.

Compared to the 1800 RMB Xinrongji dinner that Jiang Tao treated us to last night, it was far inferior.

"Um, Mr. Jiang, how about we go to a nicer place?"

Jiang Hai thought Jiang Tao was trying to save him money, so he suggested changing locations.

Jiang Tao laughed and said, "No need, let's just stay there. We'll have a simple meal when we get back. Xiaoxue and I are going to the train station this afternoon to pick up her grandma and the others."

"Oh well!"

Seeing that Jiang Tao insisted on going to Haoyunlai, Jiang Hai didn't say anything more.

After agreeing on where to eat, Jiang Tao started the car and drove back the way he came, heading towards Dongxindian.

Around 1 a.m.

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class has returned to the outskirts of Dongxindian urban village.

After Jiang Tao parked the car, the group got out and walked into the village, chatting and laughing, before entering the Good Luck Restaurant.

The restaurant is only about 20 square meters in size, with just a few tables set up inside.

With five people—three adults and two children—sitting at one table, it wasn't crowded at all.

Each person ordered one dish, and then a meatball soup, making a total of six dishes: five dishes and one soup.

Jiang Tao had to pick up his mother-in-law's family from the train station in the afternoon, so he didn't drink alcohol; instead, everyone drank lactic acid bacteria yogurt.

The meal cost less than 200 yuan.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Jiang Tao reluctantly bid farewell to Jiang Yi and his daughter Jiang An'an.

The father and son went straight to Peking Union Medical College Hospital to pick up Xu Li.

Throughout the journey, Jiang Xue chattered incessantly, clearly having a great time with Jiang An'an these past two days.

It took Jiang Tao more than half an hour to park his car downstairs at the inpatient department of Xiehe Hospital.

After the father and son got out of the car together, they took the private elevator in the VIP ward area on the first floor to the obstetrics and gynecology department upstairs and arrived outside Du Ennan's ward.

After Jiang Tao knocked on the door, a childcare worker from Xinyuehui opened it.

"Mr. Jiang, you've arrived. Please come in."

The childcare worker had met Jiang Tao before, and upon seeing him, she smiled and invited him and Jiang Xue inside.

"Thank you."

After thanking him with a smile, Jiang Tao led Jiang Xue into the room.

"Mom, Godmother! Good afternoon, Grandpa Du!"

"I have amazing news to share! Sister An'an has been selected!"

As soon as she entered the door, Jiang Xue couldn't wait to share the good news about Jiang An'an with Xu Li and Du Ennan.

"Really? That's really impressive."

"Xiaoxue is going to have a big star friend."

Xu Li and Du Ennan smiled after hearing Jiang Xue's words.

They also knew something about Jiang Xuexin's new good friend.

They were happy for Jiang An'an when they heard that she had successfully won the script.

"Yes, yes! Mom, godmother, let's watch An'an's short drama together when it airs!"

"Okay! We also want to see just how amazing your sister An'an is."

"Yes, yes, Sister An'an is amazing! You'll all like her when you meet her!"

Jiang Xue started chattering away to tell Xu Li and Du Ennan how wonderful her good friend, Sister An'an, was.

The little expression on her face was just like that of Jiang An'an's little fangirl.

"Jiang Tao, you're here. Thank you and Xiao Xu for your help these past two days."

Du Taiming, who was standing to the side, showed little interest in the topic of women and children.

He looked at Jiang Tao, smiled, and greeted him.

"Mr. Du, you're too kind. We're good friends with Du Ennan, and it's only right that we stay with her when she's at her weakest."

As Jiang Tao greeted Du Taiming with a smile, his gaze involuntarily drifted to the Vacheron Constantin watch on Du Taiming's left wrist.

Du Taiming keenly noticed Jiang Tao's scrutinizing gaze and thought to himself with amusement.

Is this kid up to his old watch again?
Jiang Tao suddenly spoke up: "Mr. Du, could I borrow that watch you're wearing to take a look?"

"Oh? You're interested in watches?"

Du Taiming smiled and looked at the green Submariner on Jiang Tao's wrist.

He still thought Jiang Tao was wearing the same one he had given him back then.

Actually, Jiang Tao had already given that piece to the third brother.

The bracelet Jiang Tao is wearing now was a gift from Zhang Chao's biological mother when they first met.

Jiang Tao laughed and said, "The most expensive thing I've ever handled is a Patek Philippe Nautilus."

This is the first time I've ever seen something this expensive.

So I wanted to borrow your watch to take a picture, maybe post it on my WeChat Moments to show off a bit.

"Haha, you young people, here you go."

Du Taiming laughed heartily twice; Jiang Tao's honesty only made him like him more.

As he spoke, Du Taiming deftly unstrap the watch strap, took off the wristwatch he was wearing, and handed it to Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao laughed and said, "How about I go find some gloves? I've noticed that all those watch enthusiasts wear gloves."

"Stop talking nonsense, take it."

After Du Taiming finished speaking, he threw the watch in his hand, worth five or six million, at Jiang Tao.

"Oh my goodness, old man, you're so careless! If you had fallen and hurt yourself, how much would it have cost to repair it!"

Jiang Tao gasped softly and quickly reached out with both hands to carefully catch the watch that was thrown at him.

Although the total weight of this watch is less than 1000 grams.

But when you hold it in your hand, it feels quite heavy!
After all, it's a watch worth over 580 million, nearly 600 million!
Most people would never even get to touch one in their lifetime, let alone see one in real life.

Jiang Tao smiled and looked at Lao Du, asking, "You don't mind if I take a picture with you, do you?"

Old Du laughed and said, "As long as it's not something you can't take off once you put it on, that's fine."

"Hahaha, how could that be! I have to be able to take it off. Do I look like such a cunning person?"

Jiang Tao laughed it off and immediately took off his green Submariner and put on Lao Du's Vacheron Constantin.

Then he took out his phone, switched to selfie mode, and snapped a bunch of photos of himself and his wristwatch.

After taking the photos, Jiang Tao took the watch off and returned it to Lao Du, his gaze lingering on him for a few seconds.

Name: Du Taiming

[Talent]: Business acumen.

[Career Path]: Shopping malls (5 stars), Real estate (3 stars).
After seeing Du Taiming's talent and career path through the "Talent Scout" title, Jiang Tao's confidence in the title increased even more.

Indeed, people often achieve good results when they work in a field that matches their talents.

Old Du is worth billions, and even with the help of an "intelligence system," Jiang Tao can't catch up with him anytime soon.

The accumulation of assets is like a snowball rolling downhill.

Jiang Tao's snowball is still small; rolling it a hundred times, a thousand times, won't earn him as much as Lao Du's big snowball earns in just one roll.

Jiang Tao and his family of three chatted in Du Ennan's hospital room until about 4 p.m. before saying goodbye to Du Ennan and her father.

My father-in-law's high-speed train will arrive at the station around 5 o'clock.

After Jiang Tao parked the car in the underground parking lot at the south square of the station, the family of three chatted and laughed as they went to the exit to pick up the person.

……

Inside a high-speed train carriage speeding towards Beijing.

Xu Wencheng, Du Yongmei, and Xu Sha sat in the business class seats, which were even more comfortable than first class on an airplane, chatting quietly.

None of the three had been to Beijing for the first time, but it was their first time sitting in business class.

Du Yongmei kept grumbling about her eldest daughter's wasteful spending the whole way, but the smile on her face clearly showed how smug she was.

"Your sister and brother-in-law have finally made it through the tough times, and life is getting better."

"Sasha, when you look for a partner in the future, you should also look for someone like your brother-in-law who can make money, take care of his family, and know how to love his wife."

Du Yongmei's attitude towards Jiang Tao has now completely changed!
The difference before and after was so great that Xu Sha, who was standing next to her, felt embarrassed for her.

In the past, Du Yongmei would always use Jiang Tao as a negative example to warn Xu Sha to keep her eyes open when looking for a partner in the future.

Never date someone like her brother-in-law, who's all looks and no substance but can't earn money and makes his wife and kids suffer.

Now it's completely reversed!

Whenever the topic of finding a partner comes up, Xu Sha is told to look for someone like her brother-in-law, Jiang Tao!
Xu Wencheng also said from the side:
“I heard from your sister that your brother-in-law started his own company.”

"When you go this time, you can ask your brother-in-law if he can arrange a job for you too."

Upon hearing her father's words, Xu Sha replied without hesitation:
"I'd rather starve than work for a relative. I don't want to go to his place." "You silly girl! How can your sister and brother-in-law be the same as relatives?"

Du Yongmei said from the side, "Your sister only has one younger sister."

"Now that their family is doing well, even a little help from them is better than you struggling and getting hurt on your own."

“Then I won’t go either. If you want to go, you should go with my dad and let him take care of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.”

Xu Sha thought about how strained her relationship with Jiang Tao had been before, and she would never allow herself to work for him!
"You're such a stubborn kid, a real mule! I think you haven't been beaten down enough by society yet. You'll regret it someday."

Du Yongmei knew her second daughter's stubborn temper and was too lazy to say anything more to her.

Fortunately, girls have one more advantage than boys by nature.

Even if you don't have a job and can't earn money, you still have the option of getting married as a fallback.

"Dear passengers, we are about to arrive at the last stop, Beijing West Station. Please take your luggage and prepare to disembark."

"Thank you for your support and companionship along the way."

As soon as Du Yongmei finished speaking, the high-speed train began to slow down and was about to enter the station.

The three of them traveled light to Beijing this time, each only bringing two sets of clothes to change into.

At 5:06 PM, the train came to a smooth stop at the platform.

Xu Wencheng and his family of three followed the flow of people and walked towards the exit according to the signs inside the station.

"Grandma and Grandpa, we're here!"

Jiang Xue, with her sharp eyes, was the first to spot her grandparents and excitedly jumped up and waved to them.

"Mom and Dad~ Sasha! You must be tired from the journey!"

"Lily! Jiang Tao."

When Du Yongmei calls Jiang Tao now, her tone is much more polite and warm.

"Mom and Dad, Sasha, welcome to Beijing! You must be tired from your journey."

Jiang Tao smiled and greeted the group, saying that the past was the past.

Jiang Tao also showed magnanimity towards Xu Li's parents and sister.

It's not like in novels and short dramas, where someone suddenly becomes rich and then constantly slaps their mother-in-law and sister-in-law in the face; that's not very interesting.

Harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things.

"Sister, you're so beautiful and have such a great presence!"

After not seeing her sister for over a month, Xu Sha was incredibly surprised to see her again.

Xu Li is still the same Xu Li, but she is not the same Xu Li either.

She used to be reluctant to spend money and rarely dressed up.

A complete outfit from head to toe costs no more than 500 yuan.

Nowadays, the Cartier necklace that Du Ennan gave her, which she wears around her neck, is worth more than 9 yuan.

Today, to welcome her parents, she changed into the Hermes Chanel-style New Year suit that Jiang Tao had bought for her for over 8 yuan.

The boots she's wearing are also a new Bulgari design this year, costing over 2 yuan.

Xu Li's outfit today, including the necklace, bracelet, and watch, was stunning.

The whole package will cost around 300,000 to 400,000 yuan.

The shabby appearance she once exuded has disappeared, and she now has the air of a noblewoman.

Previously, Xu Li could only be considered a "mature version" at best.

The Xu Li who is now displaying endless charm and confidence is the ultimate version.

Xu Wencheng and Du Yongmei also looked at Xu Li, and they too sensed the tremendous changes in her.

Seeing their eldest daughter's life getting better and better, the two of them were genuinely happy for her.

Although Du Yongmei is somewhat snobbish, she is not a bad person at heart.

She looked down on Jiang Tao when he was poor.

Now that she sees that Jiang Tao has posted it, her attitude towards him has changed.

Whenever she talks about her son-in-law, she always feels ashamed in front of her neighbors and can't hold her head up high.

Now, her son-in-law has become her pride and something she can talk about with her neighbors!
After the group successfully reunited, they chatted for a few moments before Jiang Tao turned and led them towards the parking lot.

When I saw that boxy, imposing Mercedes-Benz G-Class in the parking space.

The father-in-law and his family of three were dumbfounded again.

Xu Wencheng said, "Huh, why did you switch to a G-Class? I remember you drove home a GLS or two before the New Year."

"My GLS was in a minor accident and was sent for repairs. This car was a gift from a friend."

Jiang Tao spoke in a very gentle tone, but to his father-in-law and his family of three, it sounded like a huge roar.

The three looked at Jiang Tao with a mixture of shock, interest in the project, and confusion.

A car worth millions, given away just like that, what kind of friend is that!

In Ping County, a large house of over 130 square meters can be bought for just over a million yuan in cash.

Isn't this equivalent to getting two houses for free?

You can tell whether a person is doing well or not just by looking at the people they come into contact with.

It seems that my son-in-law has really made something of himself and is successful now!

Previously, Du Yongmei couldn't wait for her daughter to divorce Jiang Tao.

Now she's starting to worry about them getting divorced.

"Men with money go bad. I need to remind Lily to keep a close eye on Jiang Tao so he doesn't get cheated on."

"Jiang Tao shouldn't be that kind of person, right?"

Du Yongmei generally approves of Jiang Tao's character, but she still suppresses some worries.

"Let's go, get in the car. I'll take you back to your accommodation first. I've booked a welcome dinner for you tonight."

After inviting the group to get in the car, Jiang Tao drove towards Baigezhuang New Village.

It was rush hour in the afternoon, and it took me an hour and a half to get from the train station back to my apartment building.

After parking the car downstairs, Jiang Tao and Xu Li took Jiang Tao's father-in-law and his family of three upstairs to look at the house.

"Mom and Dad, this house belongs to my husband and me. Just treat it as your own home. Do whatever makes you comfortable and at ease."

"The bedding, household items, and tableware in the house were all newly bought by my parents-in-law."

"Tell me what else you need."

After Xu Li brought her parents in, she showed them around the house.

"It's great, it's great to have such a big house in Beijing, it's really great."

Du Yongmei looked at the size, decoration, and furnishings of the house and kept praising it.

In Beijing, you can't buy a house for less than three to five million yuan. The houses in Pingxian County are simply incomparable!
The value of Jiang Tao's house has already exceeded the wealth that Xu Wencheng has accumulated through most of his life's hard work!

Xu Sha looked at her sister's big house with envy in her eyes.

Previously, one of her criteria for choosing a partner was that he must own a house in Ping County that was fully paid for and had an area of ​​no less than 130 square meters.

She doesn't want to have to tighten her belt and become a mortgage slave after marriage, paying off loans!

Now, looking at the big house that my sister's family offered for me and my parents to live in.

She began to envy her sister again, and at the same time, she was thinking about it.

Should I raise my standards to owning an apartment in Beijing?
Not long after, Jiang Tao's parents also came over to meet and chat with their in-laws.

That evening, Jiang Tao and his father drove two cars, carrying the whole family, straight to the Beijing Grand Hotel.

Jiang Tao booked a lavish meal costing 18888 yuan to welcome his father-in-law's family.

It wasn't that he was intentionally showing off.

Because it's almost the end of the month, besides the more than 5 yuan that Jiang Tao recently spent on filial piety towards his parents, there's still more than 4 yuan left in the [Filial Piety Card]!
Today's feast is to welcome my father-in-law's family back, and it can be paid for with the money in my "Filial Piety Card".

Jiang Tao also wanted to take advantage of his father-in-law and mother-in-law's fame and experience the legendary super-luxury meal.

Upon entering, Xu Wencheng and Du Yongmei were once again filled with admiration for the opulent and magnificent decor.

Xu Wencheng's family has already paid off the mortgage on the house they live in, and they still have 700,000 to 800,000 yuan in savings.

He himself also has a stable job with a monthly income of over 1 yuan.

The Xu family in Ping County belonged to the middle class, a group that was neither rich nor poor.

I have basically achieved freedom in terms of food and fruit.

After all, Pingxian is a small, second-tier county town, so the cost of living is just so-so.

Without comparison, there is no harm. Compared with the high cost of living in Beijing, it is so much worse!

Jiang Tao's meal tonight cost almost half a year's salary for an ordinary grassroots employee in Ping County.

Even Xu Wencheng, who earns over ten thousand yuan a month, has never had such a high-class banquet in his entire life.

The waiter led me into a private room, and after a short while, the dishes began to be served.

In the very center of the table was a platter of glittering caviar.

It contained beluga sturgeon caviar imported from Russia.

Each caviar is round, plump, and crystal clear, as if it contains the essence of the sea and exudes a rich and unique marine aroma.

They were carefully piled into a small mountain, and decorated with fresh ice and delicate lemon slices.

This one serving of caviar alone costs two or three thousand yuan.

Next to the caviar was an Australian Wagyu beef steak.

This Wagyu beef is treated much better than the beef cattle that Jiang Tao and his family raise in Tianjiazhuang.

In fact, they live better than many people.

Born on a top-quality ranch in Australia, she grew up listening to music and enjoying massages from ranch workers.

The meat of this type of beef is delicate and tender, and the marbling of each steak is clear and beautiful.

Served on a plate as white as jade, it looks like a work of art!
The blue lobster from Country F is also considered the finest among lobsters.

Blue lobsters are large in size, with a mesmerizing deep blue shell that shimmers with a unique luster under the light.

After the chef carefully cleaned it, he cooked it with a variety of seasonings such as butter, minced garlic, and herbs.

It perfectly blends its tender meat with its rich seafood flavor, allowing you to experience the bounty of the ocean with every bite.

The seafood platter included fresh Mitsubishi scallops, Norwegian king crab legs, and New Zealand mussels.

All of them are high-end ingredients imported directly from their place of origin.

There's also white truffle soup and matsutake risotto.

And other dishes that just look very high-end.

If it weren't for the waiter's detailed explanation, none of us would have recognized a single dish from this sumptuous feast.

Extreme luxury!
Judging from the scale of today's welcome banquet, Mr. and Mrs. Xu Wencheng felt that their son-in-law valued them highly.

The meal lasted from around 7 p.m. until after 9 p.m.

Back in the neighborhood, everyone chatted until after 10 p.m. in the house that Jiang Tao and Xu Li had prepared for their father-in-law's family.
