Jiang Tao slept until he woke up naturally.

I picked up my phone from the bedside table and glanced at it; it was already 8:12 a.m.

"Comfortable~"

Jiang Tao got out of bed, stretched, and looked at his body with a satisfied expression.

I slept for almost 8 hours in [deep sleep mode], and it felt like my body was fully charged, leaving me feeling incredibly energetic.

His mental state is also excellent.

The only thing that wasn't quite right was that I was a little hungry.

Gollum-

Jiang Tao's current physical fitness level has reached 115 points, far exceeding that of ordinary people.

Correspondingly, his various bodily functions and metabolism far exceed those of ordinary people.

Today, his appetite has more than doubled, and he gets hungry very quickly.

No wonder some fantasy novels always say that scholars are poor and warriors are rich.

The daily energy expenditure of a martial artist is far greater than that of a scholar.

They also need to supplement with a lot of high-quality protein, and their appetite is much larger than that of a scholar.

Furthermore, injuries like bruises and sprains also cost money to heal faster.

"Oh, right, a delicious casserole!"

Jiang Tao suddenly remembered the delicious casserole he had just acquired yesterday.

With a thought, he opened the warehouse interface on the system panel and looked at the fourth storage compartment.

[Delicious Casserole] x11!

really!

[Delicious Casserole] Now there are 11 servings instead of one!
Fortunately, identical items can be folded.

Otherwise, Jiang Tao's storage compartments really wouldn't be enough to hold so many clay pots.

With a thought, Jiang Tao reached both hands into the fourth storage compartment.

The next second, as if by magic, he took out 10 stacked casserole dishes directly from the system warehouse.

[Delicious Casserole]: Deliciousness +3!

The properties of the casserole are displayed on the top.

Although it also has the attribute of "delicious +3", it lacks the attribute of "split".

In other words, these casserole dishes only serve to enhance the flavor.

It cannot be split into more casseroles like the first casserole.

Jiang Tao was actually aware of this as well.

If the casserole dish that splits apart can split even further, the scene would be too out of control.

1个变10个,10个变100个,100个变1000个……

In less than a month, there will be enough clay pots for everyone in the world.

In less than a year, the entire Earth will be filled with the split-off clay pots.

"Ten a day, 300 a month, that's about enough for one store."

As Jiang Tao pondered this, he placed the 10 split [Delicious Casserole] pieces into an empty box.

Afterwards, he went to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth.

I tidied myself up and changed into clean and refreshing clothes before going out.

Hey~
Jiang Tao pressed the elevator button at the elevator entrance, and less than a minute later, the downward elevator on his right stopped.

The elevator doors opened, revealing eight or nine people standing inside; it was already packed with people.

Seeing this, Jiang Tao intended to wait for the next elevator, as he wasn't in a hurry to leave, so he didn't go forward.

"Mr. Jiang, there's still a little space here. Everyone, please squeeze in so Mr. Jiang can come up."

Suddenly, a woman's voice came from inside the elevator.

Jiang Tao looked in the direction the sound came from and saw Liu Huifang waving at him from inside the elevator.

Jiao Jingtong is now an employee of Jiang Tao's company, earning a high salary and enjoying top-notch benefits.

As a mother, Liu Huifang, even if she doesn't have to be eternally grateful to her precious daughter's boss, should at least show him basic respect and enthusiasm.

"No need, you guys go first, I'm not in a hurry, I'll wait for the next trip."

Jiang Tao stood still, smiling and waving to Liu Huifang as a greeting.

After all, they are family members of one's own company employees. It's only polite to respond when someone greets you.

"President Jiang, please come in, please come in, there's still one more person."

Besides Liu Huifang, an elderly man in his fifties standing on the outside also recognized Jiang Tao.

He went downstairs yesterday to see off Jiang Tao's father-in-law and his family.

Of course, he recognized Jiang Tao, but Jiang Tao didn't remember him at all.

As the old man spoke, he squeezed in a little, making room for himself at the doorway.

"President Jiang, please come quickly, please come quickly, I'm going down there in one go."

The old man waved enthusiastically at Jiang Tao.

"alright."

Jiang Tao felt embarrassed to refuse the other party's kindness again, so he stepped into the elevator.

Beep beep beep, beep beep beep, beep beep beep—

However, as soon as Jiang Tao entered the elevator, the overload warning sounded.

The elevator is overloaded!
"Never mind, you guys go down first, I'll wait for the next trip."

Just as Jiang Tao was about to leave, a figure darted out before him, waving and saying:

"Mr. Jiang, you can go down first. I have plenty of time, no rush to go downstairs!"

Jiang Tao recognized the speaker as an older woman. As he was about to step out of the elevator, he said somewhat apologetically:

"Don't mention it, Auntie, I'm so embarrassed. I was the last one to come up."

"Close the door, Lao Liu, close the door. You all go down first!"

The older woman pushed Jiang Tao away from the elevator with one hand, while gesturing to another woman who looked to be about the same age as her to close the door.

Inside the elevator, the other people who didn't recognize Jiang Tao all had dumbfounded expressions on their faces.

Wait, who is this guy?
In the past, whenever the elderly people in the community took the elevator, they would rely on their age to make the younger people give up their seats for them.

Is the sun rising in the west today?
How come everyone's awareness is so high?
Amidst the urging of the older woman outside the elevator, the elevator doors closed and the elevator continued its descent.

Several people in the elevator who recognized Jiang Tao greeted him warmly, showing him great enthusiasm.

Jiang Tao has now become a "star" in Xu Li's building.

As soon as the elevator doors opened on the first floor, a large crowd surged out of the elevator.

Jiang Tao didn't say much to Jiao Jingtong's mother.

After a brief greeting and farewell, I went out to look for my car in the neighborhood.

After finding the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, Jiang Tao opened the car door, got in, and drove off towards the main entrance of the residential area.

Three minutes later, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class pulled up in front of a popular breakfast shop near the residential area.

After parking his car, Jiang Tao stepped into the breakfast shop.

"Boss, give me two steamers of xiaolongbao, one serving each of pork and scallion and chives and egg."

"A bowl of wonton soup, extra cilantro, and two tea eggs."

Jiang Tao entered and found an empty seat. Less than five minutes later, an auntie brought his breakfast to the table. Although he was now worth millions, he wasn't particularly particular about breakfast.

He can enjoy the gourmet meals at high-end hotels like the Magnolia Hotel, and he can also savor the simple breakfasts at roadside stalls.

After all the breakfast items were served, Jiang Tao took apart a pair of disposable chopsticks and started showing off!
While eating breakfast, he was planning out the things he needed to do that day.

Although he hasn't had a proper job during this period, he hasn't actually had much free time either.

There's a lot to do today.

First of all, I made an appointment with Yicheng Real Estate to go and sign the contract today.

Chai Zijie and his team have already negotiated deals for 10 houses, which is exactly half of Jiang Tao's goal.

Although this meeting was postponed again and again, Chai Zijie dared not utter a single complaint.

Firstly, Jiang Tao was the biggest client their real estate agency had ever encountered in all these years.

Although the houses in Shun Ning Mansion are cheap, the 20 largest properties still cost tens of millions!
Moreover, Jiang Tao settles his accounts in cash, so he doesn't need to apply for a bank loan!

In Ping County, there are very few people who can come up with 1000 million yuan in cash!

Also, I saw Jiang Tao in the general manager's office of the Magnolia Hotel yesterday.

Observing his words and actions when interacting with Bai Yulan, Chai Zijie intuitively felt that their relationship was not ordinary.

Chai Zijie was trying his best to curry favor with such a wealthy and well-connected tycoon!

Besides buying a house from Yicheng Real Estate, Jiang Tao also needs to poach people from Qiaoshaguo and find a way to get his hands on Bai Yulan's cushions.

While eating, Jiang Tao directly found Bai Yulan's contact information on WeChat.

While carefully choosing his words, he edited a message and sent it over.

at the same time.

In the villa of Bai Yulan in Anna Creek Town.

wow~
Wearing a moon-white silk nightgown, Bai Yulan drew back the curtains, letting sunlight stream into the wooden floor of the room.

The morning sunlight also shone on her face.

In [deep sleep mode], she slept from around 4 pm yesterday until 8 am this morning.

For someone like Bai Yulan who suffers from chronic insomnia and severe sleep deprivation.

It's not something that can be restored by just one or two sessions of [deep sleep mode].

While sleeping for 16 hours straight may seem exaggerated, it is beneficial and harmless to her health.

At this moment, she felt refreshed and full of energy.

Even the air outside the window felt much fresher, as if it had a faint sweet smell.

The gentle breeze blowing into the room softly lifted the strands of hair on her forehead, as gentle as a pair of invisible hands caressing her face.

At that moment, Bai Yulan suddenly recalled the scene of Jiang Tao giving her a sleep-inducing massage yesterday.

I thought of his hands, which seemed to have magic power.

Wherever the large hand touched, the tingling, electric-like sensation was incredibly pleasurable.

Bai Yulan is not short of money; she is a regular customer of a high-end beauty salon in the city that spends more than 50 yuan a year.

Get beauty treatments, including body care and massages for different parts of the body.

The technicians at that high-end beauty salon are all top-notch in the industry, with superb skills.

But compared to Jiang Tao's massage, it pales in comparison; there's no comparison at all!
However, Bai Yulan couldn't tell whether it was Jiang Tao's skill that was truly impressive, or her physiological reaction to contact with the opposite sex.

After all, she usually gets massages and the like done by female masseuses.

Jiang Tao was the first and only man to have had intimate physical contact with her.

ding dong~
As Bai Yulan's thoughts wandered, her phone, which was on the dressing table, suddenly rang.

After regaining her senses, Bai Yulan suddenly felt that something was off about her when she thought about what she had just been thinking.

Composing herself, Bai Yulan turned around and walked briskly to the dressing table, picking up the latest tri-fold mobile phone that was placed there.

After unlocking the screen, Bai Yulan saw a message from Jiang Tao, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

[Sister Bai, I visited your home yesterday, and I really liked the throw pillows on your living room sofa.]

After sending the message, Jiang Tao sent another message: a little figure blinking repeatedly, with the words "Crazy Hint" written in the bubble.

Upon seeing Jiang Tao's message, Bai Yulan smiled and typed a reply with her slender, white fingers on the keyboard.

[I bought this cushion at IKEA in the city. If you like it, I'll give you 10 new ones.]

After sending the message, Bai Yulan added a smiley face emoji.

The more she looked at it, the more she felt that the emoji perfectly captured her current mood, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily curved into a smile.

Jiang Tao: [I don't want the new ones, I just want the ones on Sister Bai's sofa.]

Upon seeing Jiang Tao's reply, Bai Yulan was taken aback, and a look of doubt appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"What...does he mean? Why does he only want those few on my sofa?"

Magnolia: [? ? ?]

Bai Yulan sent a few question marks.

[They've been by Sister Bai's side for so long, they must have picked up a lot of her scent.]

[Sister Bai is destined for great wealth and honor; she possesses an aura of good fortune. I also want to bask in her aura.]

Jiang Tao's explanation does fit the "fortune teller" persona he established when he gave Bai Yulan her fortune reading.

Bai Yulan: [Since you're so eloquent, I'll give you a few of my throw pillows. Please take good care of them.]

After sending the message, Bai Yulan added a smiley face emoji.

Being praised so early in the morning made Bai Yulan, who was already in a good mood, even better.

Jiang Tao: [Sister Bai is so generous!]

Consider this a thank you for the sleep-inducing massage last night. By the way, are you free tonight? I'd like to get another good night's sleep before you return to Beijing.

Bai Yulan looked at the message she had sent, and her heart suddenly started pounding rapidly.

OK! It has to be arranged, as a way of thanking Sister Bai for the pillow.

Seeing Jiang Tao's prompt reply, Bai Yulan's wildly beating heart suddenly calmed down a lot.

Maybe I'm overthinking it.

He has a wife, and she's very beautiful.

Perhaps, he really only saw me as a friend and a client?

Thinking about all this, Bai Yulan suddenly felt a little disappointed.

The two chatted back and forth for another ten minutes or so before ending their conversation.

Bai Yulan immediately went downstairs and instructed a nanny to put all eight cushions on the living room sofa into clean bags.

Then he instructed the driver to take Jiang Tao to Xicheng Huafu.

Inside the breakfast shop.

Jiang Tao ate breakfast while chatting with Bai Yulan.

"It's done!"

I saw the reply from Bai Yulan.

Jiang Tao tossed the last small steamed bun into his mouth and swallowed it whole.

Today's breakfast has come to a pleasant end.

In the time it takes to eat a meal, he got his hands on the pillow mentioned in the third intelligence report of the day.

"I wonder what attributes this pillow will have?"

As Jiang Tao scanned the code to pay, he was already looking forward to binding and activating the pillow's attributes. (End of Chapter)
