Financial freedom starts with the daily intelligence system!

Although collecting recyclables is not a respectable job, it's really lucrative!

Niu Baoguo and Liu Haiqin, a married couple, run a waste recycling station on the outer ring road of the county town.

It's only about three or four acres in size, it doesn't look very big.

But the monthly turnover is still three to four hundred thousand, and the net profit is still thirty to forty thousand.

Don't be fooled by the couple's simple clothes; they look filthy while working during the day.

But he bought two houses for his two sons in Ping County outright and married them two wives.

If you really think about it, this couple is more powerful than Xu Wencheng and his wife.

Niu Baoguo and Xu Wencheng were classmates and good friends for six years in junior and senior high school.

Even after graduating for many years, the two brothers have always kept in touch.

After getting married and having children, the couple even recognized each other as godfathers for their first child.

Before Xu Li got married, she would visit her godparents' home every year during the Spring Festival, bringing gifts with her.

After getting married and having children, Xu Li began to prioritize her family and stopped going there.

But the relationship between Lao Xu and Lao Niu did not weaken because of this.

The two would occasionally get together for a small gathering, perhaps with a few drinks.

After everyone sat down and exchanged a few pleasantries, their camaraderie deepened.

This is the case with some close relatives.

We might not see each other for more than a year, and we don't usually contact each other by phone.

But as soon as they sit down together and chat for a bit, a sense of closeness immediately arises.

Liu Haiqin, Xu Li's godmother, held her hand and kept praising her for being lucky to have found such a good husband.

Niu Baoguo, her godfather, even forced 500 yuan on Jiang Xue, who was standing to the side with her big, bright eyes, and told her to use it to buy candy.

Although Jiang Xue likes money, she is not a greedy child. She only accepted Grandpa Niu's money after getting her mother's permission.

A sweet, childlike "Thank you, Grandpa Niu" made everyone burst into laughter.

We chatted until around 8 o'clock.

Xu Wencheng suggested that we go to a Sichuan restaurant outside the residential area for dinner.

When the in-laws come to visit, we definitely have to treat them well.

This Sichuan restaurant, named "Pretty Wife," is small, with only two floors, but the ambiance and food are quite good.

When there are important guests at home, Lao Xu always brings them here to entertain them.

We chose a large private room and ordered more than a dozen dishes.

After all the food and drinks were served, everyone ate and chatted, creating a lively atmosphere.

Three women and one drama.

Xu Li, her mother-in-law, and Liu Haiqin chatted amongst themselves, occasionally bursting into laughter.

Sisters-in-law Xu Sha and Jiang Xue, two lively girls, started a live stream on Kuaishou right in the private room.

The two chatted with viewers in the live stream while eating, creating a very cheerful atmosphere.

Jiang Tao and his father-in-law Xu Wencheng chatted and drank with Niu Baoguo, Xu Li's godfather.

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, Niu Baoguo finally prepared to get down to business, saying:

"Old Xu, Jiang Tao, to be honest, Haiqin and I saw you two at the Magnolia Hotel around noon today."

Xu Wencheng looked at Niu Baoguo and scolded him:

"Old Niu, this is where you're wrong. You didn't even say hello to us. What do you mean by that?"

"Hey! Haiqin and I were sorting through the recyclables over there at the time."

“Weren’t you two having dinner with the two CEOs of Jinwei Welding Materials at the time? We were afraid of embarrassing you.”

Niu Baoguo really thought so at the time, which is why he didn't go up to greet the father and son.

"You, you old ox, what am I supposed to say to you? You keep doing this to me!"

Xu Wencheng tapped Niu Baoguo a few times with his finger, shook his head with a smile and sighed a couple of times, but didn't say anything more.

As a longtime friend, he could understand Niu Baoguo's thoughts at the time.

Put yourself in Niu Baoguo's shoes.

He was too embarrassed to go up and greet them in that kind of setting.

Niu Baoguo asked curiously, "Old Xu, you're doing quite well at Jinwei, aren't you? You can even sit at the same table with a leader of President Zhu's caliber?"

Xu Wencheng smiled and said, "After decades of working, I'm just a team leader in the end, and I've already left Jinwei."

"Huh? You resigned? You've worked there for almost thirty years, haven't you? How come you just quit like that?"

Niu Baoguo was surprised and puzzled when he heard the news of Xu Wencheng's departure.

Xu Wencheng is nearing retirement age, and now that he has left Jinwei, it will be difficult for him to find a new company willing to hire him and offer him the same salary and benefits.

After all, every year there are so many recent college graduates who are both cheap and young.

Given the same salary and benefits, companies will naturally choose young and cheaper recent college graduates without hesitation.

It's extremely difficult for someone like Xu Wencheng, who is already in his fifties or sixties, to find new employment!
"I'm currently hanging out with my eldest son-in-law, and I'll be going back to Beijing in a couple of days."

"I'll keep the specifics of what I'm going to do a secret for now. I'll tell you all about it once I've made something of myself."

As Xu Wencheng spoke with a smile, his gaze towards Jiang Tao was filled with satisfaction and pride.

Although he is now a full-time employee of Jiang's Entertainment Company.

But before he had achieved anything, he was too embarrassed to be honest about his profession in front of his in-laws.

Niu Baoguo also broadcasts live from time to time, and his special profession of collecting recyclables has attracted a lot of fans.

Xu Wencheng's live streaming account hasn't even started to take shape yet, and he doesn't have even a thousand followers yet, which is less than Niu Baoguo's account.

Naturally, I was too embarrassed to tell him that I had started working as a live streamer.

"Hehe, so you've gone to join Jiang Tao. Well, that's fine."

“Working with my son-in-law is definitely better than working at Jinwei.”

Ma Baoguo also smiled at Jiang Tao, his smile full of approval.

Although he didn't know what Jiang Tao was doing at the moment, he knew that Jiang Tao was definitely doing quite well in Beijing.

This afternoon, in the parking lot of the Magnolia Hotel, Zhu Haibin and Wang Xinguo observed their attitude towards Jiang Tao.

This is definitely not how a company CEO treats ordinary people.

Jinwei Welding Materials, with a market value of over 6000 million yuan and supporting more than 100 workers, is nothing special in big cities.

But in a small county like Pingxian, to rank among the top 20 in terms of strength is to be considered a star enterprise.

Zhu Haibin, that boss, also has a certain influence in Ping County.

"By the way, Jiang Tao, I noticed that General Manager Zhu and General Manager Wang of Jinwei were quite polite to you. Do you have any influence at Jinwei?"

After probing a few times, Niu Baoguo stopped beating around the bush and looked at Jiang Tao, choosing to get straight to the point and talk about business.

"Oh, is there something you need, Godfather?"

Jiang Tao was very polite to Xu Li, his godfather.

Although he wasn't very familiar with Niu Baoguo and hadn't had much contact with him.

But he remembered that when he and Xu Li got married, most relatives and friends would give a hundred or two yuan as a wedding gift.

Xu Li's godfather gave a gift of 1000 yuan.

"Ahem, it's kind of embarrassing to say."

Niu Baoguo scratched his head, chuckled sheepishly, and said:
“Jinwei generates a lot of waste every day, including cardboard and scrap welding wire.”

"What I mean is, I want you to ask Mr. Zhu if we can take over Jinwei's waste recycling business."

"In terms of price, it will definitely not be lower than the current person in charge, and the site will be cleaned more thoroughly and hygienically."

After saying this, Niu Baoguo looked at Jiang Tao expectantly.

If this works out, earning an extra ten thousand yuan a month would be pretty good!
“Okay, I’ll ask around for you.” Jiang Tao didn’t hesitate at all after hearing Niu Baoguo’s request.

He agreed on the spot and, in front of Niu Baoguo, took out his phone and dialed Zhu Haibin's number.

Hearing what Jiang Tao and his group were talking about, and hearing Jiang Tao making a phone call, everyone in the room fell silent.

All eyes turned to Jiang Tao.

Niu Baoguo and Liu Haiqin's hearts began to pound faster.

This was extremely important to them.

beep-

The phone rang several times before being answered, and a deep, confident male voice came from the other end.

"Mr. Jiang? I'm sorry, I was just washing my hands."

"I hope I didn't disturb Mr. Zhu by calling him suddenly."

"No, no, is there something you need, Mr. Jiang?"

"That's right, Mr. Zhu, he's my wife's godfather..."

Jiang Tao explained Niu Baoguo's situation in detail to Zhu Haibin, as well as his desire to contract the Jinwei Welding Materials waste recycling business.

"Haha, no problem, no problem. Since President Jiang has spoken up, we must give him face."

"Have Mr. Niu go to our factory tomorrow morning to see Manager Huang in the production department."

"I'll tell Manager Huang that Jinwei's waste recycling work will be handed over to Mr. Niu from now on."

On the other end of the phone, Zhu Haibin listened to Jiang Tao's words without the slightest hesitation.

He immediately agreed to let Niu Baoguo take over the waste recycling business.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhu. I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow night and introduce you to my godfather."

"Let's meet at the Magnolia Hotel again, see you there."

Jiang Tao wasn't a stingy person; Zhu Haibin had given him face, so he felt he should reciprocate in kind.

"Haha, okay, okay, see you tomorrow."

Zhu Haibin also wanted to spend more time with Jiang Tao and get closer to him, so he readily agreed to the invitation.

"Then I won't bother you any longer, Mr. Zhu. Please continue with your work."

"See you tomorrow, Mr. Jiang."

After confirming the dinner arrangement, Jiang Tao and Zhu Haibin hung up the phone.

"Thank you so much, Jiang Tao! I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow."

"You've already helped us so much, we can't let you spend any more money!"

After seeing Jiang Tao hang up the phone, Niu Baoguo happily took on the task of treating everyone to dinner.

He's currently in charge of waste recycling at the Magnolia Hotel, so he knows a bit about the hotel.

The Magnolia Hotel is undoubtedly the premier luxury hotel in Pingxian County.

A casual meal can cost two or three thousand, or even three or four thousand.

For a meal like the one Jiang Tao and his group had at noon today, the cost even exceeded 1 yuan.

In Pingxian County, where the average wage is less than 3000 yuan, this is definitely a top-tier luxury hotel.

Most people really can't afford it!

People like Xu Wencheng, who earn over ten thousand yuan a month, can barely afford to spend, but they are reluctant to do so.

Jiang Tao had done him a great favor today, so Niu Baoguo naturally couldn't let Jiang Tao spend money to treat him to a meal at the Magnolia Hotel.

"Thank you so much, Jiang Tao! You've been a huge help to us today!"

Liu Haiqin also expressed her gratitude to Jiang Tao, and looked at him with more respect.

With just one phone call, Mr. Zhu, the general manager of Jinwei Welding Materials, handed over a business with an annual income of over 100,000 yuan to his company.

This clearly demonstrates Jiang Tao's exceptional influence with Jinwei Welding Materials!
This godson-in-law has really made something of himself!
"Godfather and godmother, please don't be so formal with me. I'm treating you to dinner not just because of you."

“I have some cooperation with General Manager Zhu. He invited me yesterday, so I'll invite them tomorrow. It's just a matter of reciprocity.”

Jiang Tao politely declined Niu Baoguo's invitation to dinner, saying that the thought was enough for him.

A meal at the Magnolia Hotel was nothing to Jiang Tao.

This time, we helped Niu Baoguo secure Jinwei's waste recycling business.

Consider this a small way of repaying him for his care and concern for Xu Li over the years.

Xu Li also said with a smile, "Godfather, godmother, you two shouldn't compete with my husband. You should save your money for your retirement."

"Look, look, our Lily knows how to care for people. She's much better than those two heartless ingrates in our family."

After hearing Xu Li's words, Liu Haiqin took her hand and patted it gently, feeling so moved that she almost cried.

After Xu Li's two godbrothers got married, they both became henpecked husbands.

The two brothers only cared about their wives and children; they had no regard for their parents.

Today I'm broke and can't pay my credit card bill, so I'm going to my parents' place to borrow 5,000 yuan.

Tomorrow, the one who doesn't have money to buy baby formula will have to spend 5,000 yuan.

The elderly couple were frugal with their food and clothing, working diligently and conscientiously.

Most of the money I earn each month goes to my two sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren.

Even so, the two daughters-in-law in the family don't appreciate the good things the old couple did for each other.

She complained that they never helped with childcare and that they didn't give her as much money as her best friend's in-laws.

"Hey~ Why bring up those two things on such a nice day!"

Niu Baoguo waved his hand to interrupt his wife, not wanting to talk about their two sons.

To be honest, he's really envious of his old buddy Xu Wencheng now.

Although they don't have sons, only two daughters, these two daughters are much more filial than their sons!
Niu Baoguo and Liu Haiqin's biggest regret in life is that they were unable to have a daughter.

He initially adopted Xu Li as his goddaughter to make up for this regret.

After finishing their business, everyone continued chatting, drinking, and eating.

The meal lasted from around 8 p.m. until after 10 p.m.

Originally, Xu Wencheng was going to treat everyone, since Niu Baoguo was visiting his home and the meal was being held right in front of his house.

As the host, it's certainly not reasonable for the guests to treat us.

As a result, Niu Baoguo secretly paid the bill at the front desk while he was in the restroom.

In addition, the two old men had been drinking, and they almost came to blows while pushing and shoving each other at the restaurant entrance.

He even threatened to sever ties with the other party.

In the end, it was Jiang Tao and Xu Li who separated the two brothers.

As for breaking off relations, it's impossible for us to actually do so.

These two old guys have broken up more than ten times, but every time they sober up, they make up as if nothing happened.

After saying goodbye at the hotel entrance, Liu Haiqin drove a minivan with Niu Baoguo back to the scrap yard.

Jiang Tao and his family of three also followed his father-in-law and his family of three back to their home.

The starting point of the first Pingxian Health Run, which he will be participating in tomorrow morning, is less than 500 meters from his father-in-law's house.

I'll stay at my father-in-law's house tonight, which will make it easier to get to the competition tomorrow morning.

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

Jiang Xue was sent to her aunt's room to sleep with her aunt again.

After returning to their room, Xu Li and Jiang Tao quietly made a fuss for another hour before finally going to sleep.

Although I have to get up at 5 a.m. tomorrow to go to the starting point of the health run to sign in.

But Jiang Tao still waited until midnight when the intelligence update came out. (End of Chapter)
