Chapter 197: A mansion and sunglasses with a 1000% appreciation rate for the Holy Body!

Jingle Bell--

After Jiang Tao returned home, he slept until six or seven in the evening before being woken up by a cell phone ringing.

I groggily opened my eyes and picked up my phone to take a look.

The caller ID showed the name as "Wife".

"Hey, wife."

"I'm at...I'm at...Oh, I'm at home."

Jiang Tao was still a little dazed.

It took me a while to realize that I was in my own home.

"Open-air barbecue?"

"Okay, I'll wash my face and be right there."

"Oh right, is the third sister over there? Have her drive over and pick me up."

"I drank alcohol at noon, so I won't drive."

"OK Bye Bye."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Tao rubbed his face before getting out of bed.

After quickly washing up in the restroom, Jiang Tao went straight out and took the elevator downstairs.

After waiting downstairs for about three minutes, a black Mercedes-Benz GLS pulled up in front of Jiang Tao.

The driver's side window opened, revealing a fair-skinned smiling face wearing a pair of somewhat cyberpunk-style sunglasses.

"two……"

"Third brother, are you sick? Why are you wearing sunglasses so late?"

"You idiot! Get in the car! I shouldn't have driven here to pick you up!"

Upon hearing her second brother's words, Jiang Bing's smile vanished instantly, and the word "second brother" that was on the tip of her tongue turned into "idiot."

As Jiang Tao opened the car door and got in, he said, "Were you wearing sunglasses last time you rear-ended someone?"

"Can we please stop bringing up things that are hard to talk about?"

"I don't wear it while driving! I only put it on after I parked!"

"I just bought these new sunglasses and wanted you to see if they look good! You have no sense of style at all!"

Jiang Bing pouted, looking aggrieved, and with a huff, drove off before Jiang Tao could fasten his seatbelt.

"Let me see, these glasses are actually quite stylish. Hmm, they seem to suit me well."

Jiang Tao shamelessly picked up the glasses that Jiang Bing had placed in the glasses case on the center console and put them on his face.

I lowered the sun visor on the passenger side, looked at myself in the mirror, and couldn't help but boast a little.

"So handsome!"

"Ugh~"

"We're all getting on in years, can you stop being so narcissistic? You call this handsome?"

Jiang Bing, who was driving, rolled her eyes and made a sarcastic remark.

"Third brother, now I know why you can't find a girlfriend. Your standards are too high!"

"If I'm not handsome in your eyes, then there are very few people on Earth who would catch your eye. You'd have to find an alien."

"Who says a person has to find a partner? Being in a relationship is too much trouble, and it's never as comfortable as being alone."

"You'd better not let our old folks know about this idea, or you'll upset them."

"..."

The brother and sister chatted casually for a while, and soon drove to the gate of Jiang's Food Factory.

At this moment, the gate of the food factory is open, and a group of people are chatting and laughing in the yard, doing their jobs in an orderly manner.

Father-in-law Xu Wencheng was grilling skewers by the barbecue grill, holding a palm-leaf fan.

Jiang Jianjun and his wife were skewering marinated mutton from a stainless steel basin onto iron skewers.

The mother-in-law and Xu Li were placing some ready-made cooked food and cold dishes that they had bought from outside onto a large table.

Jiang Jiaqi and Xu Sha were busy setting up stools.

My parents were chatting and laughing with Lao Lü and Ma Dongmei.

Jiang Tao also saw He Jing, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, bending over to wash fruit by the pool.

The courtyard was bustling with activity.

"Xiao Tao is here."

"Uncle Tao is here!"

"Brother-in-law!"

"Husband~"

When everyone saw Jiang Tao, they all greeted him with smiles.

The reason this group of people is able to come together today is entirely because of Jiang Tao.

Everyone present was his relative, friend, and close friend; there were no outsiders.

Before heading back to my hometown for the Qingming Festival holiday, it would be nice for friends to get together for a barbecue and have some fun.

After greeting everyone with a smile, Jiang Tao quickly blended in.

"Brother Lü and his wife are here too. It's been a few days since I last saw you. You both look radiant and in good health!"

"Haha, you kid."

When Lü Qian heard Jiang Tao address Ma Dongmei as "sister-in-law," his wrinkled face broke into a wide smile.

"Brother Jiang, long time no see. How have you been lately? Here, have a peach."

He Jing carried a basin of washed peaches to Jiang Tao, greeted him with a smile, and picked up a peach from the basin and handed it to him.

"Thanks, He Jing. I'm doing well lately. How are you doing at school?"

Jiang Tao didn't stand on ceremony with He Jing. After greeting her with a smile, he reached out and took the peach from her hand.

[Ding! He Jing is very happy to see you. Your friendship level has increased by 2 points, currently at 71 points (Closest Friend)!]

As Jiang Tao was talking to He Jing, a notification message suddenly flashed across his retina.

The message indicated that his friendship level with He Jing had increased.

And it increased by 2 points at once!
Jiang Tao was delighted, but also somewhat surprised and bewildered by the two friendship points he received.

I didn't do anything, just met up and said hello, and the friendship level increased?
Furthermore, it added 2 points at once!
Not bad!

Although I don't know why it increased.

But Jiang Tao was very satisfied with the result!

"Yes, I'm doing fine at school."

When He Jing was talking to Jiang Tao, her eyes would always involuntarily steal glances at Xu Li standing to the side.

She felt inexplicably guilty.

She also knew that it was very unethical of her to fall in love with a married man.

But she simply couldn't suppress her feelings for Jiang Tao.

Every time I see him, my mood becomes really, really good.

When I encounter any troubles in life, just sending him a few simple greetings on WeChat can make me feel better.

After a brief chat, He Jing reluctantly took the fruit platter to serve fruit to everyone, and then went to wash other fruits.

"Something's not right. The way He Jing is looking at Second Brother is a bit strange."

"That Teacher Jiang isn't quite right either, and with He Jing on top of that, Second Brother's love life is really booming this year!"

Sitting on a small stool to the side, holding a skewer of lamb and showing it off, Jiang Bing's eyes gleamed as she looked at He Jing.

She seemed to have discovered something important.

Around 7 o'clock, Jiang Yi also took a taxi with Jiang Xue to join the fun barbecue activity.

The barbecue didn't end until around 9 p.m.

After everyone worked together to clean up the battlefield, they parted ways at the entrance of the food factory and went home.

After returning home, everyone was exhausted. They washed up and went to their rooms to sleep.

Xu Li's period suddenly started today, so she took a rare break and went to bed early.

Jiang Tao insisted on waiting until midnight to refresh the intelligence system.

Today's Intelligence 01:
You had contact with the designated driver Jia Guilin yesterday and obtained relevant information—

Jia Guilin is a born chauffeur; recruiting him will ensure your eternal safety.

……

"A born driver's sacred body..."

Upon seeing Tongzi's comments about Jia Guilin, Jiang Tao laughed rather unkindly. While it was a bit ridiculous, it was definitely something worth considering.

Once the company is established and things get busier, we'll really need to recruit a few full-time drivers to pick up and drop off passengers.

Master Jia Guilin is indeed a good choice.

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

【Today's News 02:】

You had contact with Lü Qian yesterday and obtained relevant intelligence—

Sun Xiangxiang, the widowed niece-in-law of Lü Qian, is preparing to sell a house in Xiaoshahe Village and return to her hometown.

This house is expected to appreciate by as much as 1000% within the next ten years, making it a worthwhile purchase.

[Note:] Sun Xiangxiang's target price is 210 million yuan!

……

"A house in Xiaoshahe, appreciating in value by 1000%??"

"Could it be that Xiaoshahe will be demolished within the next ten years?"

When Jiang Tao saw the first piece of information refreshed today, his eyes lit up.

Although Tongzi didn't explicitly state it, he considered a possibility based on this information.

Generally speaking, old Beijingers would definitely be reluctant to sell their own houses.

Everyone is waiting and hoping for the demolition and relocation.

There aren't many people like Lao Lü's nephew's wife who are willing to sell their old house and return to their hometown.

but……

Rumors of impending demolition have been circulating in the Xiaoshahe area for the past 30 years.

But as the news spread and year after year passed, there was still no sign of any demolition.

In recent years, measures to alleviate the burden of non-down payment functions have begun to show results.

In addition, the demolition plan for urban villages in Beijing has been slowed down.

The chances of demolishing and relocating urban villages outside the Sixth Ring Road are becoming increasingly slim.

When it comes to demolition and relocation, the urban areas will definitely be prioritized first.

There are hundreds, even thousands, of urban villages like Xiaoshahe outside the Sixth Ring Road.

The idea of ​​"hoping for demolition and relocation" is so prevalent that it's not an exaggeration to call it a "lifetime dream" series!
"Buying a house for 210 million yuan and expecting it to appreciate by 1000% within the next ten years is a pretty good return."

"It's worth considering holding onto it for the long term."

After reading the second piece of intelligence, Jiang Tao secretly pondered and decided to make contact with Sun Xiangxiang tomorrow.

210 million is not a huge sum for Jiang Tao now.

If we can reach an agreement, it's fine to treat it as a transaction.

"Next!"

After analyzing the second piece of intelligence, Jiang Tao had an idea and continued to look at the next one.

Today's Intelligence 03:
You had contact with Jiang Bing yesterday and obtained relevant information—

The Oakley sports glasses that Jiang Bing bought yesterday, worth 1888 yuan, are special items.

Once you acquire ownership, you can activate it to gain random attributes.

……

"Huh, even a pair of sunglasses is a special item!"

"My luck has been off the charts these past few days!"

"That third brother has done a great job again!"

Upon seeing that the last intelligence report of the day was also related to special items, Jiang Tao couldn't stop smiling.

Items that can be identified as special items by Brother Tongzi are definitely not ordinary items; their attributes are all very powerful.

"I wonder what kind of attribute will be activated this time."

"Let's get those sunglasses from the third brother first tomorrow."

Jiang Tao was quite confident that he would acquire "ownership" of the third brother's sunglasses.

This is almost no difficult task.

If he asks, the third brother will definitely not refuse.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep, I'll go to sleep first, I'll be busy again tomorrow."

After reading the three intelligence reports, Jiang Tao closed the system interface with a thought.

He turned around and hugged Xu Li's slender waist from behind.

I switched to [sleep mode] and went to sleep.

……

Early the next morning.

Jiang Tao was woken up by his little darling pinching his nose.

"Lazybones Dad, wake up! The sun's already high in the sky!"

"Hehe, Daddy's even drooling!"

"Were you dreaming about secretly eating something delicious?"

Jiang Xue saw the drool stains on her father's mouth, giggled, and tapped Jiang Tao's face with her finger.

After sleeping for more than six hours in [deep sleep mode], Jiang Tao was woken up with a clear mind and felt refreshed all over.

But he didn't open his eyes immediately; instead, he pleaded with the little girl for help:

"Oh no! I've been sealed by the witch's magic and can't move! Xiaoxue, please save Daddy!"

"Hehehe, Daddy's lying! He thinks I'm a three-year-old!"

Jiang Xue stood aside, laughing and putting her hands on her hips; she wasn't going to fall for it.

"How could Daddy lie to our clever, brave, and intelligent Xiaoxue!"

"I know that no scheme or trick can hide from our Little Snow Princess!"

"Yes, you're right! This princess isn't so easily fooled."

Jiang Xue gradually lost herself amidst Lao Deng's constant praise.

"So, I'm sure I wasn't lying, I really was sealed away by the witch in my dream."

"So, how can I help you?"

Jiang Xue looked at Lao Deng, who was "deeply immersed in the role," with a smile.

She suddenly wanted to try acting like Jiang An'an.

"You just need to kiss me on both cheeks to break the witch's spell, please, Princess Snow."

When the old man tricked the young woman, he didn't even blush.

"Unsealing you will cost me a great deal of my magical power. What benefit would I gain from helping you?"

Jiang Xue crossed her arms, her big, bright eyes darting around as she started asking Old Jiang for something in return.

"..."

Old Jiang was speechless after hearing what his little darling said.

This little guy is really "profit-driven" these days!
The fact that she went to her aunt for "financing" when Jiang Tao "borrowed" money from her last time suggested something was amiss.

Jiang Tao asked in cooperation, "What benefits does Princess Xiaoxue want?"

"I want a little sister! Dad, can you and Mom give me another little sister? My godmother's little sister is so cute!"

Jiang Xue stepped forward, hugged Jiang Tao's arm, and began to shake it, her tone full of affection for her younger sister.

"Haha, so this is what you wanted. No problem, I'll arrange it!"

Old Jiang felt comforted after hearing what his daughter said.

He thought the little guy really wanted something from him.

Although he would give Jiang Xue whatever she wanted, he still wanted the little one to have more of her innocence.

"Pinky promise, no turning back! This princess will break the seal for you right now~"

"Mumma~ Mumma~"

Jiang Xue hooked Lao Deng's finger with hers and then gave him a quick kiss on each cheek.

"I'm finally saved, thank you, our Little Snow Princess."

After the seal was broken, Jiang Tao opened his eyes, smiled, and hugged the little girl by the bedside, feeling a sense of happiness enveloping him.

Jiang Xue pressed, "When can I have a little sister? I can't wait to see her."

Old Jiang laughed heartily and said, "It'll be here soon."
