Financial freedom starts with the daily intelligence system!

Chapter 230 10 Yuan for Fortune Telling!

Bai Yulan was also among Han Mingrui and his group.

Moreover, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that she is the undisputed protagonist among this group.

"Jiang Tao, Lili, Mr. Xu, Mrs. Xu, you've arrived."

"Let me introduce you. This is Gao Aiguo, the executive deputy county head of Ping County."

"Who is this……"

When Bai Yulan saw Jiang Tao and his group arrive, she greeted them with a smile and took the initiative to introduce them to each other.

Xu Li and her family of four listened as Bai Yulan introduced various officials, including a county magistrate, a party secretary, and a bureau chief.

Seeing how polite everyone was to Jiang Tao.

They were immediately filled with a strong sense of pride!

It's time for a break!
My husband and son-in-law have finally made something of themselves!

So many county leaders treated Jiang Tao with such courtesy, as if he were an honored guest.

Furthermore, when Jiang Tao greeted everyone, his expression was very relaxed and he didn't seem restrained at all.

Where is the trace of the truck driver Jiang Tao of today?

In just a few months, Jiang Tao has undergone tremendous changes; even describing it as a metamorphosis would be an understatement!
It's like he's become a completely different person!
After introducing themselves, everyone went into a large reception hall inside the guesthouse.

There were four large round tables inside, and staff members invited everyone to sit down.

There were no opening remarks or speeches; after everyone sat down, the waiters began serving the dishes.

Because of the special nature of today's reception, the dishes served were not as luxurious as those served yesterday when Wang Xinguo hosted a dinner at the Magnolia Hotel.

But it's not shabby either.

Chicken, duck, fish, beef, mutton, braised pork knuckle, and prawns are still available.

The liquor they drank was a type of baijiu (Chinese white liquor) whose name Jiang Tao had never heard of, but which had the words "special supply" written on the bottle.

Although this liquor is not as good as Maotai, it tastes just as good as some of the liquors sold on the market that cost one or two hundred yuan.

During the meal, Bai Yulan introduced Jiang Tao to the other leaders again, had a drink, and exchanged contact information.

We only introduced ourselves at the entrance; we didn't really know each other.

Only after drinking and exchanging contact information can we be considered to have truly gotten to know each other.

During the gathering, everyone noticed Bai Yulan's enthusiastic attitude towards Jiang Tao and began to speculate about the relationship between the two.

Although I can't figure out why.

But everyone present was a seasoned pro at interpersonal relationships, and it was clear that the two had a special relationship.

Therefore, everyone was very enthusiastic towards Jiang Tao, and the importance they attached to him was not limited to his winning the championship today.

To be honest, although today's health run is the first of its kind in Ping County.

But if someone else had won the championship, it wouldn't have been necessary for a group of county leaders to personally receive him and invite him to dinner.

At most, we'll exchange a few polite words and take some promotional photos, that's all.

The meal lasted from a little after 1 p.m. until after 3 p.m.

The whole event was lively and the atmosphere was incredibly harmonious.

On this occasion, everyone present is a respectable person; no one is urging or forcing anyone to drink.

But Jiang Tao toasted so many leaders and drank quite a bit of alcohol.

Fortunately, as his physique improved, his body's metabolic capacity was also greatly enhanced.

I drank more than 3 jin (1.5 catties) of baijiu (Chinese liquor) at lunch today, but my face didn't turn red and I wasn't out of breath. I was just like a normal person.

His drinking capacity surprised everyone once again.

After eating and drinking their fill, everyone parted ways at the entrance of the guesthouse.

Jiang Tao and his family of three returned to his father-in-law's house.

After returning home, Jiang Tao, feeling the effects of the alcohol, went straight to his room to sleep.

……

at the same time.

Inside the General Manager's Office at the Magnolia Hotel.

Bai Yulan was in a good mood today, until she received a call from her assistant.

Back in her office, she looked at the financial statements her assistant had placed on her desk.

Bai Yulan's pretty face was instantly clouded with gloom, as cold as frost.

Pfft!
"Big sister, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong."

"I'm sorry, sister, please give me another chance. I promise I won't do it again."

Seeing the expression on his cousin's face, Bai Jianfeng guessed that his secret had been exposed.

He knelt down with a thud and kept kowtowing to Bai Yulan in apology.

"Jianfeng, Jianfeng, what could you do with that 500 million? Go buy lottery tickets!"

"I knew you weren't very bright, but I never imagined you were this stupid!"

"To put it bluntly, this is just a game of rock-paper-scissors. How can you win if you always get to go first?"

Bai Yulan flung her hand and slammed the financial statements in her hand onto the floor in front of her desk with a clatter.

Five million is not a large sum of money for Baiyulan.

She was angry because her cousin, Bai Jianfeng, had secretly embezzled public funds behind her back!
If it weren't for the fact that they were sisters, this amount would be enough for Bai Jianfeng to live there for seven or eight years!
"I'm sorry, sister, I was just confused for a moment, I got a little carried away, I'm so sorry..."

The incident has already occurred and the evidence is conclusive. Bai Jianfeng knows that anything he says now would be superfluous, so he might as well sincerely admit his mistake and beg his cousin for forgiveness.

The Bai family was not prosperous in their generation; they only had four siblings.

Therefore, Bai Yulan took good care of her younger siblings and used her connections to make arrangements for them.

"This matter ends here, and I will no longer pursue your responsibility."

"but……"

"Trust those you employ, and don't employ those you don't trust. Go back and pack your things and go home. The hotel will give you N+2 compensation."

"Let's go."

Bai Yulan waved her hand, indicating that Bai Jianfeng could leave.

The N+2 compensation was her last act of care for Bai Jianfeng, as his older sister.

"Sister, I..."

"Walk."

Bai Yulan's tone contained a hint of anger.

"Okay, sis, I'm off then."

Bai Jianfeng knew his cousin's temper, so he obediently shut up and left.

Click.

The door closed gently, leaving Bai Yulan alone in the office.

"Losing money, losing money..."

"Jiang Tao was right."

"If it weren't for his reminder, I don't know how much money that idiot Jianfeng would have cost me."

At this moment, Bai Yulan recalled what Jiang Tao had said in her office the day before yesterday, and she became even more convinced of his face reading skills.

I picked up my phone from my desk, opened WeChat, and found Jiang Tao's contact information.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yulan transferred 10 yuan directly to Jiang Tao, with the note "fortune-telling fee".

After transferring the money to Jiang Tao, Bai Yulan leaned back in her chair, and the scene of Jiang Tao massaging her that day suddenly came to mind again.

And the several hours of high-quality sleep that follow the massage.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yulan sent Jiang Tao another text message on WeChat.

The sleep-aid massage last time was very effective. When do you have time to come back and give me another massage?

After sending the message, Bai Yulan looked at the content of her message and felt it was becoming more and more ambiguous.

She quickly clicked "recall" to delete the message.

"He probably didn't see it..."

Upon seeing the words "withdrawal successful," Bai Yulan felt a little guilty.

but……

She really, really wanted to experience Jiang Tao's sleep-aiding massage again.

But it seems a bit inappropriate for her to bring it up with Jiang Tao herself, so she's really torn! [The sleep-inducing massage last time was very effective; could you come over and teach me sometime?]

My mother has a sleep disorder, and I'd like to learn about it so I can try it on her when I get home.

If it's inconvenient, then never mind.

Bai Yulan ultimately refused to give up the idea of ​​having Jiang Tao give her a sleep-inducing massage, so she had to bring her mother along.

Of course, what she said was true.

The elderly lady in my family also often suffers from insomnia and has trouble sleeping.

Bai Yulan wasn't in a hurry after waiting for a while without receiving a reply from Jiang Tao.

She knew that Jiang Tao had drunk quite a bit during the lunch they had eaten together.

"They're probably taking a lunch break!"

After considering this possibility, Bai Yulan stopped waiting for Jiang Tao's reply and started working on the computer.

……

3 pm.

Pingxian Industrial Park.

The entrance to Jinwei Welding Materials Co., Ltd.

A 4.2-meter flatbed truck was stopped by the security guard at the gate.

"Stop, stop, stop! What are you doing? Why don't you have passes?"

The security guard is a long-time employee of Jinwei Welding Materials, with more than 20 years of experience.

He was familiar with all the drivers who came and went from the company to pick up goods every day.

Upon seeing Niu Baoguo and Liu Haiqin, two unfamiliar faces, they immediately stopped them.

"Brother, we're here to collect scrap metal. Have a smoke, have a smoke."

Niu Baoguo opened the car window and handed an unopened package of Yuxi cigarettes to the security guard.

Since it was my first time here and I was unfamiliar with the place, it was quite necessary to get along well with the gatekeeper.

"You're here to collect scrap? Isn't Xiao Su the one who collects scrap?"

The security guard asked with a puzzled look.

Niu Baoguo smiled and said, "From now on, it will be us coming. We've already spoken to your General Manager Zhu about it."

"Wait a minute..."

After the security guard finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the duty room, where he used his old-fashioned mobile phone to make a call to a manager in charge of waste recycling.

"Manager Qi, there's a new scrap collector at the entrance..."

"What's your name?"

"Niu Baoguo."

"Call him Niu Baoguo. Oh, okay, okay, I understand."

After the security guard confirmed Niu Baoguo and his wife's information with the manager, he opened the electronic gate without saying a word and let the couple pass.

Rumble, rumble, rumble—

The truck, billowing blue smoke, drove into the factory area and came directly to the office building.

After parking his car, Niu Baoguo did not immediately go to find the manager in charge of waste recycling to collect the waste.

He told Liu Haiqin to leave her in the car, and then he got out and went into the office building.

I went up the stairs to the 5th floor and found my way to the door of the general manager's office.

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

Niu Baoguo took a deep breath to calm his nerves before knocking on the door.

"come in."

Hearing voices inside, Niu Baoguo pushed open the door and entered.

"Hey, who are you?"

When Zhu Haibin looked up and saw Niu Baoguo entering, a look of confusion appeared on his face.

"Hello, Mr. Zhu, my name is Niu Baoguo. Jiang Tao asked me to come and see you."

Niu Baoguo stepped forward, looked at Zhu Haibin sincerely, and introduced himself.

"Oh, it's you. You've come."

"Just contact Manager Qi in our production department directly."

"Manager Qi is in charge of waste recycling."

Zhu Haibin nodded and said in a very calm tone.

He valued Jiang Tao highly, but he wasn't as enthusiastic about Niu Baoguo, whom Jiang Tao introduced.

"Okay, Mr. Zhu."

"Besides meeting you today, there's something else I'd like to discuss with you."

Niu Baoguo looked at Zhu Haibin and said earnestly.

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Zhu Haibin looked at Niu Baoguo with some confusion.

Niu Baoguo suddenly took a few steps forward and stopped right next to Zhu Haibin's desk, leaving Zhu Haibin stunned and wondering what he was going to do.

"Mr. Zhu, please take a look at this. Is it something from your company?"

Niu Baoguo took out his phone from his pocket, found a few pictures, and showed them to Zhu Haibin.

These photos were "evidence" that Jiang Tao purchased from the intelligence system for 1000 yuan.

He didn't contact Zhu Haibin directly, but instead went through Niu Baoguo to inform him.

This way, Niu Baoguo can improve his standing with Zhu Haibin.

Jiang Tao is a shareholder of Jinwei Welding Materials and has a connection with Sister Bai Yulan, so he no longer needs to try to win Zhu Haibin's favor.

"This is……"

When Zhu Haibin saw the photo on Niu Baoguo's phone, his brows furrowed instantly.

The background of the photo is a warehouse at a scrap metal recycling station.

A wooden pallet was placed on the warehouse floor.

Several stainless steel buckets labeled "Jinwei Welding Materials Specializes in Nickel Powder" were placed on a wooden pallet.

How did our own company's nickel powder drum end up in a scrap metal recycling station?
Nickel powder is a major raw material for making welding materials, and it is very expensive.

The price of one ton of nickel powder is as high as 13 yuan!
The nickel powder barrel in the picture weighs 100 kg each, and the purchase price is 1.3 yuan per barrel.

“When I was drinking with a colleague, he said that Su Zhiyong and a team leader in your company’s nickel powder mixing team had been stealing nickel powder from the company for profit for many years.”

“These photos were taken secretly by him at Su Zhiyong’s scrap metal recycling station.”

"Although I don't know if this is true or not, I feel I should still tell you."

"If it's fake, you can strengthen your management in this area to prevent problems before they occur."

"If it's true, you can find out early and stop the loss in time."

"You haven't told anyone about this yet, have you?"

Zhu Haibin looked at Niu Baoguo and said something with a solemn expression.

Niu Baoguo nodded and said, "No, you're the first to know."

"Okay, let's not make this public for now, so as not to alert them."

"We will thoroughly investigate and collect evidence regarding this matter."

Zhu Haibin took a deep breath; he had realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Yes, Mr. Zhu, please rest assured, I will keep my mouth shut."

Niu Baoguo nodded, indicating that he was not the kind of person who spoke carelessly.

Zhu Haibin added one last sentence:
"Send me the photos on your phone. Just go about your business as usual. As if nothing happened."

"Okay, Mr. Zhu."

Niu Baoguo and Zhu Haibin added each other on WeChat and Niu Baoguo sent him all 10 photos from his phone.

After sending the photos, Niu Baoguo said goodbye to Zhu Haibin before turning and leaving.

Zhu Haibin looked at the dozens of buckets of nickel powder labeled with his company's name in the photo on his phone, his expression shifting between light and dark.
