Financial freedom starts with the daily intelligence system!

I arranged a designated driver for Xu Li and the others.

Jiang Tao went outside and pressed the down elevator button at the elevator entrance.

Hey~
The elevator doors opened at that very moment, and the elevator was descending.

Jiang Tao glanced around and saw several familiar faces standing in the elevator.

"Good morning, Brother Jiang. Are you heading out?"

Good morning, Mr. Jiang.

Good morning, Mr. Jiang.

Inside the elevator, Jiao Jingtong and her father, both dressed in white sportswear, greeted Jiang Tao warmly as he stood outside.

"Uncle Jiao, Aunt Jiao, Jingtong, where are you all going?"

As Jiang Tao greeted Jiao Jingtong's family with a smile, he stepped into the elevator.

Once he entered the elevator, Jiao Jingtong pressed the close button, and the elevator continued to descend.

"Brother Jiang, we're going to the supermarket to buy some things."

"Jingtong is going to the capital, so let's get her ready."

"We will need Mr. Jiang's continued support for Jingtong in the future."

As parents, we were a little worried about our daughter going away to work for the first time.

But when she thought about the exceptionally high treatment Jiang Tao offered his daughter...

Jiao Jiankang and Cao Huifang also strongly supported their daughter working at Jiang Tao's company.

"Please rest assured, we are from the same hometown and are neighbors living upstairs and downstairs. Jingtong will not suffer any grievances while she stays with me."

Jiang Tao smiled and gave Jiao Jingtong's parents a guarantee.

He recruited Jiao Jingtong to his company because he valued her talent and wanted to nurture her properly; naturally, he wouldn't let her suffer any injustice.

"With your words, we are completely at ease."

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Jiang."

"Oh, Mom and Dad, I'm not a child anymore. I can take care of myself."

Jiao Jingtong felt a little embarrassed as her parents kept giving instructions to their boss.

Jiang Tao smiled and looked at Jiao Jingtong, asking:

"By the way, Jingtong, Lily and Sasha are heading back to Beijing this afternoon. There are still empty seats on the train, would you like to come along?"

"Oh? This...this is so embarrassing."

Jiao Jingtong actually wanted to go with Xu Sha and the others, so she could have company on the way, but she was a little embarrassed to hitch a ride with them.

"What's there to be embarrassed about? As the saying goes, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. Your sister Lily and Sasha, as well as your Uncle Xu, don't treat you like an outsider."

Jiang Tao smiled gently, thinking it was only right to give some preferential treatment to his company's "potential dark horse".

"You silly girl, hurry up and thank Brother Jiang."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Jiang! It'll be good to have company on the road and someone to look after you. Our Tongtong has never traveled far by herself before. I was even suggesting that Lao Jiao take a day off so we could drive her to Beijing. She'll be traveling with Lili and the others, which will save us a lot of trouble."

Jiao Jiankang and Cao Huifang were overjoyed and grateful when they heard Jiang Tao's words.

"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Jiang. What time do we leave this afternoon? I'll prepare in advance."

Jiao Jingtong no longer refused Jiang Tao's kindness, and looked at him with gratitude, asking about the departure time.

"Around 2 p.m., we can arrive in Beijing just before dark."

As soon as Jiang Tao finished speaking, the elevator doors opened with a ding, and they arrived at the first floor.

Jiao Jingtong nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go to your house before 2 o'clock to meet up with Sister Lili and the others."

"Okay, I'll call Lily in a bit and tell her."

"Thank you for your help, Brother Jiang."

"You're too kind. I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

Jiang Tao waved goodbye to Jiao Jingtong's family and strode towards the Mercedes-Benz G-Class parked not far from the building.

"Boss Jiang is such a good person, so kind and helpful. Tongtong, you've found a great boss this time."

"Tongtong, when we look for a partner in the future, we should look for someone like President Jiang."

Jiao Jiankang and Cao Huifang watched Jiang Tao get into the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, their faces full of envy.

"A man as outstanding as Brother Jiang is a rare find, not so easy to come by."

Jiao Jingtong's gaze was fixed on the Mercedes-Benz G-Class that was driving towards the entrance of the residential area, her mind filled with the scene of her conversation with Jiang Tao.

He's 1.82 meters tall, handsome, a great runner, very successful in his career, and loves his wife very much.

As Jiao Jingtong said, such an outstanding man is not easy to find!

……

Jiang Tao had no idea that he had become the template for Jiao Jingtong's family to find a partner.

After driving out of the residential area, his first stop was the Magnolia Hotel.

The clay pot in the casserole doesn't have legs, so it won't run away.

His meeting with the general manager of Yicheng Real Estate Agency was not in a hurry.

The most urgent task is to first resolve the deadly crystal chandelier in the main lobby of the Magnolia Hotel.

Although Baiyulan has a powerful background, what if the store experiences a major accident like the one mentioned in the intelligence?

This will likely have a significant impact on future operations.

Of course, the impact on business is secondary; human lives are at stake.

A single piece of intelligence could save two lives, which Jiang Tao considered more meaningful than how much money he could make.

At 8:30 a.m., the Mercedes-Benz G-Class drove into the parking lot amidst the warm greetings of two security guards.

After parking the car, Jiang Tao got out and walked straight towards the main entrance of the Magnolia Hotel.

Good morning, Mr. Jiang!

Good morning, Mr. Jiang!

At the hotel entrance, two tall and graceful greeters in high-slit cheongsams greeted Jiang Tao with smiles.

Jiang Tao smiled and nodded, "Good morning, has your CEO Bai arrived yet?"

One of the greeters said, "President Bai hasn't arrived yet. Why don't you go in and sit for a while, and let Manager Wu contact him for you?"

"Thanks, I'll contact her myself."

After Jiang Tao finished speaking, he reached into his pocket, took out his phone, and searched for Bai Yulan's number before stepping into the store.

As soon as he entered, his gaze involuntarily drifted up to the enormous crystal chandelier in the center of the hall.

This enormous crystal chandelier is exquisitely and intricately designed, and it looks magnificent and grand.

The main light is surrounded by a dozen or so smaller crystal chandeliers.

Eight chains extend in eight directions beneath the eight domes.

A body of flesh and blood was hit by such a large lamp...

The thought of it sends chills down my spine!

Don't walk under the light!

Seeing a client manager in a women's suit walk by under the chandelier, Jiang Tao instinctively spoke up to remind her.

"what?"

Wu Xiaolan was stunned for a moment after hearing Jiang Tao's words.

Then, she looked up at the chandelier above with a puzzled expression.

Only then did he quicken his pace and leave the area around the crystal chandelier.

"President Jiang, you've arrived. Is there something you need from President Bai? President Bai hasn't come yet."

Wu Xiaolan walked up to Jiang Tao in a few steps and greeted him respectfully.

Jiang Tao looked at Wu Xiaolan, his expression grave, and said:
"Xiao Wu, go and have a few people come over and put up a warning line under the chandelier. No one should pass under the chandelier anymore."

"Huh? Put up a cordon?"

Wu Xiaolan looked puzzled after hearing Jiang Tao's words. This matter was beyond her authority, and she couldn't make the decision.

Jiang Tao nodded and said bluntly, "Yes, I think there's something wrong with that crystal chandelier; it's at risk of falling at any moment."

"Huh? The risk of falling?"

Wu Xiaolan looked at the huge crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling, her face showing surprise and a hint of fear.

I just walked right under there!

"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Jiang. However, I can't make that decision myself. I need to contact our vice president."

After speaking, Wu Xiaolan took out her phone from her pocket, found Vice President Zou Ruoqi's number in her contacts, and dialed it. After the call connected, Wu Xiaolan explained the situation Jiang Tao had mentioned to Zou Ruoqi.

At the same time, Jiang Tao also called Bai Yulan and told her about the situation at the store.

After receiving a call from Wu Xiaolan, Zou Ruoqi hurriedly came down from her office.

Following Jiang Tao's instructions, several logistics staff members were instructed to put up a warning tape around the chandelier.

Around 9 a.m., Bai Yulan also drove to the scene.

"Mr. Bai."

"Mr. Bai."

When the senior executives of the Baiyulan Hotel saw Baiyulan, they all greeted her with great respect.

Bai Yulan simply nodded to the group as a greeting, then walked straight to Jiang Tao's side and stood there.

"Sister Bai, you've arrived."

Jiang Tao looked at Bai Yulan and greeted her in a calm tone.

"Jiang Tao, how did you figure out there was something wrong with this lamp?"

Bai Yulan looked at Jiang Tao and asked with a puzzled expression.

This crystal chandelier has been there since the Magnolia Hotel opened.

And every year, a specialist will maintain, clean, inspect, and repair it.

It's been less than a month since the last maintenance, so the chances of a problem are very small.

But Bai Yulan also knew that Jiang Tao wouldn't joke about something so serious.

"Just as I was about to walk toward the chandelier, I suddenly felt a chill down my spine and had an extremely dangerous intuition."

"Sister Bai, my intuition is usually very accurate, so I suggest you send someone up to take a look."

Jiang Tao met Bai Yulan's gaze, his eyes unwavering and filled with unwavering certainty.

"An instinct for danger..."

Although Bai Yulan found Jiang Tao's reasoning somewhat absurd, she took it very seriously.

"Old Han, you guys go upstairs and find something to look for."

Bai Yulan looked at a person in charge of the hotel's maintenance department and gave him a brief instruction.

"Okay, Mr. Bai, I'll contact the elevator."

Old Han immediately took out his phone and started making calls. In less than five minutes, several maintenance department employees pushed an elevator into the hotel lobby.

Place the elevator directly beneath the crystal chandelier.

After the two employees jumped onto the lifting platform, they fastened their safety belts to the guardrail next to the lifting machine.

creak creak creak...

The lifting platform began to climb upwards under the operation of an employee, and soon reached the top.

"Mr. Bai! Several expansion screws securing the crystal chandelier have come loose!"

Upon hearing the report from the employee above, the onlookers below unconsciously took a step back, as if afraid of being affected.

"Oh my god, thank goodness we found it in time, otherwise it would have been really dangerous!"

"I passed by it several times this morning, I'm really lucky to be alive!"

"Oh my god, how could this happen? I'm too scared to go down there again!"

"..."

A group of onlookers whispered amongst themselves, all of them still shaken.

Almost everyone who works at the hotel passes under the chandelier several times a day.

If Jiang Tao hadn't reminded him today, that unlucky guy might have been hit.

"Old Han! What kind of inspection did you conduct before? Why did such a serious safety hazard occur?!"

Bai Yulan looked at Lao Han from the repair department, her pretty face as if covered with a layer of frost.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bai. I... I don't know how this happened. Everything was fine during our checkup."

Old Han kept his head down, not daring to meet Bai Yulan's gaze. He was already drenched in sweat after hearing his subordinate's report.

He was responsible for installing the crystal chandelier on the roof, and he knew its weight best.

It's one thing if one expansion screw is loose, but what if several come loose at the same time...

That was truly a guillotine hanging over everyone's heads, ready to fall at any moment!
"From now on, the inspection cycle for crystal chandeliers will be shortened to once a week! Once a week!"

"We need to find a way to reinforce the chandelier right now."

"We were fortunate to receive Jiang Tao's reminder this time; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"This morning, Xiao Zou, you will be in charge of convening a safety meeting to raise the safety awareness of all departments."

"..."

Bai Yulan's gaze swept across the faces of several senior hotel managers, and she issued a series of instructions.

Naturally, no one dared to disobey in the slightest. After nodding in agreement, they hurriedly went to carry it out.

After giving instructions to everyone, Bai Yulan turned to look at Jiang Tao, and the frost on her face vanished instantly.

"Jiang Tao, come upstairs to my office for a while. I've arranged for the manager of the real estate agency to come and handle the transfer for you."

Bai Yulan's bright smile was like a gentle spring breeze, a stark contrast to her previous demeanor.

"Sister Bai, I appreciate Aunt Bai's kindness..."

Before Jiang Tao could finish speaking, Bai Yulan interrupted him with a smile:
"Jiang Tao, don't make things difficult for me. I've already made a solemn promise to my mother that I will definitely help her get this done."

"Haha, then I'll accept without hesitation. I can't put you in a difficult position, Sister Bai, can I?"

Seeing that Bai Yulan and her daughter were adamant, Jiang Tao stopped refusing.

An apartment in Xicheng Huafu would cost at least a million or two hundred thousand.

Even if an average person saves every penny for 30 years, they might not be able to afford one.

Only a fool wouldn't take something given to them for free!

Moreover, it's foreseeable that Bai Yulan's house is probably quite large.

"Let's go upstairs and have some tea first. The person I'm meeting will be here soon."

"Then let's go up and bother Sister Bai for a while."

After Jiang Tao finished speaking, he followed Bai Yulan toward the hotel's private elevator.

The two took the elevator upstairs together and entered Bai Yulan's office one after the other.

Upon entering, Bai Yulan personally served Jiang Tao tea and water, a level of treatment that others rarely receive.

"You've eliminated such a huge safety hazard for me this time, I owe you another favor."

Bai Yulan looked tenderly at Jiang Tao, who was sitting on the sofa to her left, and sincerely thanked him.

Jiang Tao laughed and said, "Sister Bai is being too polite with me again. There's no need for that between friends."

"Hehe, yes, we are friends, good friends."

Bai Yulan nodded earnestly.

These past few days, she has often thought back to her experience of meeting Jiang Tao.

The more I think about it, the more mysterious the fate between the two of us seems.

She naturally had a vivid memory of the scene when the two first met.

That night, if Jiang Tao hadn't suddenly appeared and pulled her out of the icy lake, she would have been saved.

She's almost finished her seventh-day memorial service.

Subsequent encounters allowed her to gain a deeper understanding of Jiang Tao.

He enjoys running just like I do, and he's exceptionally talented at it.

His sleep-inducing massages are truly miraculous.

His demeanor was poised and elegant, and he possessed great personal charm.

Yesterday, he returned his long-lost younger brother to his and his mother's side.

Today, I eliminated another major safety hazard for myself.

"Jiang Tao must be a lucky star sent to my side by God!"

"Since I met him, I've become increasingly lucky, and my mood has improved a lot."

The more they met, the more feelings Bai Yulan developed for Jiang Tao that she couldn't quite explain.

Especially when you think of his superb massage techniques that make your whole body tingle and feel comfortable to the bone.

It possesses a captivating, unforgettable charm. (End of Chapter)
