Financial freedom starts with the daily intelligence system!

I paid the bill at the breakfast shop.

Jiang Tao drove his Mercedes-Benz G-Class towards the location of Yicheng Real Estate.

Yesterday evening, he and Yuan Mengqi arranged to meet at the real estate agency at 9 a.m. today, as soon as they started work.

Ping County is very small; it took less than 5 minutes for the Mercedes-Benz G-Class to pull up in front of Yicheng Real Estate.

I got out of the car and looked into the house through the huge glass doorway.

Jiang Tao saw that there were more than a dozen people in the room, some standing and some sitting.

If I'm not mistaken, these should all be homeowners in Shun Ning Prefecture who are waiting to sell their properties, cash out, and leave.

If they knew that the property prices in Shun Ning Prefecture would skyrocket in two months...

"Relying on physical labor and working hard your whole life, you can't earn as much as someone with an information gap earns in a day."

"How can ordinary people compare themselves to those privileged second-generation rich kids who can get advantageous information in advance?"

With a sigh in his heart, Jiang Tao lifted his leg and walked towards the door of the real estate agency.

As for making money by taking advantage of information asymmetry to hoard houses in Shun Ning Mansion, Jiang Tao didn't feel any guilt.

He's willing to pay for these homeowners' houses today; they might even thank him.

Of course, two months later, when housing prices start to skyrocket.

The more grateful these people are to him now, the more they will hate him later.

Thinking of this, Jiang Tao stopped halfway and turned to walk towards the Starbucks where he first met Yuan Mengqi.

It's better to avoid trouble; it's best to avoid meeting these homeowners altogether.

Ping County is so small, you might bump into someone on the street any day.

Although Jiang Tao doesn't back down from anyone, he prefers to avoid trouble.

If you happen to encounter someone who can't take a joke and has an extreme personality, it can be a real problem.

There wasn't a single customer in Starbucks this morning, so it was quite quiet.

As soon as Jiang Tao entered, the young women at the service desk all turned to look at him.

He was already good-looking, and now he's wearing designer clothes that cost thousands of dollars.

Calm and reserved, yet with a touch of nobility.

In addition, his charm value increased significantly after completing several missions.

Nowadays, Jiang Tao has become the kind of "charming uncle" that people talk about online.

It's very attractive to women of all ages!

Wow, what a handsome older man! I wonder if he has a girlfriend?

"Of course he's handsome, he must have a girlfriend!"

"I wonder if he would mind having another girlfriend?"

"Xiao Liu, are you crazy? If that's how you think, then we can forget about being sisters. How dare you have designs on my boyfriend!"

The girls, having nothing better to do, whispered and joked among themselves, but their eyes would occasionally glance in the direction of Jiang Tao.

One of the girls was quick-witted and grabbed the ordering device, running towards Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao casually found a seat by the window, ordered himself an iced Americano, and ordered Yuan Mengqi the cappuccino she had last time.

He casually ordered some snacks before calling Yuan Mengqi.

Less than three minutes after hanging up the phone, Yuan Mengqi, dressed in a light gray business suit, arrived at Starbucks with Chai Zijie, whom Jiang Tao had met the day before.

"Mr. Jiang, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting!"

When Chai Zijie met Jiang Tao, he greeted him politely, his eyes full of respect.

After meeting Jiang Tao in Bai Yulan's office yesterday, Chai Zijie's regard for him has increased significantly.

This person is not only rich, but also has connections with Sister Bai, which means that his background is not simple!
"Mr. Jiang..."

In front of her manager, Yuan Mengqi changed her way of addressing Jiang Tao from calling him by his first name yesterday to "General Manager Jiang".

"Manager Chai, Mengqi, please make yourself at home. There are no outsiders here."

"Manager Chai, please order whatever you like, it's on me."

Jiang Tao didn't get up, but smiled and pointed to the two seats opposite him, inviting the two to sit down.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Jiang. I'll have an iced Americano too."

As he spoke, Chai Zijie sat down opposite Jiang Tao with a respectful expression.

Yuan Mengqi also sat down.

After sitting down and exchanging a few casual words, they began their formal discussion.

As of now, Chai Zijie and Yuan Mengqi have acquired 10 apartments in Shun Ningfu.

Furthermore, all of them were built according to Jiang Tao's requirements, and were all the largest possible apartment sizes.

Jiang Tao only needed to provide the money; all the other procedures were handled by Yicheng Real Estate Agency.

After signing several contracts, Jiang Tao readily transferred 600 million yuan to Chai Zijie's company account as payment for the house.

The three of them stayed at Starbucks until around noon before heading out together.

"Mr. Jiang, lunch is on me today. What kind of food would you like?"

Chai Zijie looked at Jiang Tao with a respectful expression and spoke in a very polite tone.

Jiang Tao has been so supportive of their agency's business this time, so it's only right that he, as the boss, treats them to a meal.

Seeing her boss's respectful attitude towards her old classmate, Yuan Mengqi felt quite emotional.

My old classmate has really made something of himself now!

Jiang Tao pointed to the delicious casserole dish opposite him and said:

"How about we go to Qiao Casserole across the street? Mengqi and I ate there once, and it was pretty good."

"Where to? Sure! Wherever Mr. Jiang says we'll go, we'll go!"

Chai Zijie said with a smile, "I often go to Qiao Shaguo too, the food is really good!"

"Besides, Mengqi's younger brother is the head chef of that Qiao Casserole restaurant, right, Mengqi?"

As Chai Zijie spoke, his gaze fell upon Yuan Mengqi beside him.

Yuan Mengqi nodded in agreement:

"Yes, but my younger brother has been taking care of my mother at the hospital and hasn't come over for quite a few days."

"Hmm? Your younger brother is the head chef at this Qiao Casserole restaurant?"

Upon hearing Yuan Mengqi's words and recalling the chef's name mentioned in the intelligence report, Jiang Tao's face immediately showed a surprised expression.

Yuan Mengjie...

Could this Yuan Mengjie be Yuan Mengqi's younger brother?

"Yes, he's been working at this store for almost four years."

Upon hearing Yuan Mengqi's answer, Jiang Tao was basically certain that the chef mentioned in the intelligence was Yuan Mengqi's younger brother.

"Your younger brother's name is Yuan Mengjie?"

"Do you know my brother?"

"We know each other!"

Jiang Tao laughed when he heard Yuan Mengqi's answer. They really are siblings!

"By the way, Mengqi, could you arrange for me to meet with your brother? I'd like to talk to him about something."

"Talking to my brother?"

Yuan Mengqi looked curious after hearing Jiang Tao's words.

Jiang Tao nodded and said, "Yes."

Yuan Mengqi: "Sure, when are you free?"

Jiang Tao thought for a moment and said, "This afternoon."

Yuan Mengqi: "Okay, what time? Where?"

Jiang Tao raised his hand to check the time, thought for a moment, and said:

"Let's go to Starbucks, at 5 pm."

"Okay! I'll talk to him about it later."

Yuan Mengqi nodded. In front of Chai Zijie, she didn't ask Jiang Tao why he wanted to see her brother. The group walked and talked, and before they knew it, they arrived at the entrance of Qiao Shaguo.

"President Jiang, President Chai, please go first."

After Yuan Mengqi opened the door, she first invited Jiang Tao and Chai Zijie in before entering herself.

As soon as the group entered, a girl dressed in a stylish casserole uniform walked briskly toward them.

"Sister Mengqi, you're here! Are there three of you? Please have a seat here."

When Lin Ranran saw Yuan Mengqi, she greeted her warmly, her gaze lingering on Jiang Tao's face for a moment.

She still remembered Jiang Tao, who came to the store to buy a casserole yesterday, and was especially impressed by the Mercedes-Benz G-Class he drove!

"Ranran, you're back at work."

When Yuan Mengqi saw Lin Ranran, she smiled and greeted her.

"Yes, yes, I've finished taking care of things at home. Mengqi, you can come over here."

Lin Ranran nodded in response and led the three to an empty table at the back, where she arranged for them to sit down.

"slowly?"

Hearing Yuan Mengqi address Lin Ranran, Jiang Tao couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.

This should be the person Yuan Mengjie was mentioned in the intelligence report.

Lin Ranran was also part of his plan to poach talent.

These two "lurked" in the hot pot restaurant, one as a chef and the other as a waiter, which is quite ingenious.

"Mr. Jiang, please order whatever you like. Would you like some drinks?"

After the group sat down, Chai Zijie greeted Jiang Tao with great enthusiasm.

"No drinking, I have to drive later. How about a bottle..."

Jiang Tao turned his head and glanced at the freezer in the store, and said:

"Give me a big bottle of jujube juice."

"Okay, then let's have some juice. I'll treat you to drinks another time."

Chai Zijie naturally didn't dare to persuade Jiang Tao to drink, and readily agreed.

"One serving of boiled sliced ​​pork, another serving of spicy beef, one serving of Kung Pao chicken, and another serving of braised chicken with mushrooms. I'm all set."

Jiang Tao didn't stand on ceremony with Chai Zijie and then ordered several dishes that he and Yuan Mengqi had eaten last time.

After taking the iPad from Chai Zijie, he casually ordered four more dishes and then told Lin Ranran to hurry up and serve them.

The prices at Qiao Shaguo are very reasonable; eight dishes cost less than 300 yuan, so Chai Zijie naturally wouldn't mind spending that little bit.

With Lin Ranran, an acquaintance, present, the food at Jiang Tao's table was served much faster than at the other tables.

Less than five minutes later, four steaming hot casseroles were served on the table, along with four other dishes on plates.

"President Jiang, let me toast you to thank you for your trust in Yicheng."

Chai Zijie picked up the juice in front of him and offered it to Jiang Tao.

This time, Jiang Tao purchased 20 properties in Shun Ning Mansion from Yicheng Real Estate, with a total value of approximately 1000 million yuan.

Real estate agents like Chai Zijie can easily earn around 20 yuan in commission.

Chai Zijie naturally treated his sugar daddy with the utmost respect.

"Mr. Chai, you're too kind. I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

Jiang Tao smiled and clinked his glass of juice with Chai Zijie's, looking very calm.

"President Jiang, I also want to toast you."

Yuan Mengqi followed suit, picking up her glass of juice to toast Jiang Tao.

"Haha, Squad Leader Yuan, let's not be so polite. Just call me by my name. It feels really awkward when you call me General Manager Jiang."

Jiang Tao picked up his juice and clinked it against Yuan Mengqi's, saying with a smile.

Chai Zijie chimed in with a smile:
"Mr. Jiang is right, Mengqi, you old classmates don't need to be so formal."

"You two should keep in touch. If Mr. Jiang has any business opportunities, he'll think of taking care of you."

Chai Zijie's words were quite sincere.

Jiang Tao takes care of Yuan Mengqi's business, and he also benefits from it.

"Okay, then I'll still call you Jiang Tao. To be honest, calling you President Jiang feels a little awkward."

Yuan Mengqi smiled and readily accepted Jiang Tao's suggestion.

When old classmates reunited after a long separation, Jiang Tao had helped her so much.

In addition to gratitude, Yuan Mengqi also felt a sense of closeness to Jiang Tao that she had never felt before.

Although the two had been classmates for several years, that was all.

In fact, the two were just ordinary classmates in school and didn't have much interaction.

This time, Jiang Tao voluntarily lent Yuan Mengqi 30 yuan to help her solve her mother's urgent need for medical treatment.

Only then did their life trajectories intersect, or rather, their destinies become intertwined.

At least... that's how Yuan Mengqi sees it.

She will never forget the help Jiang Tao gave her family this time, and she will be grateful to Jiang Tao for the rest of her life.

While feeling grateful to Jiang Tao, she also psychologically elevated his status to that of her best friend.

Of course, she wasn't trying to get close to Jiang Tao or build a relationship with him just because he's now successful and wealthy.

Although these are also facts.

But she never intended to squeeze any more benefits out of Jiang Tao.

All she wants to do now is work hard, earn more money, and pay back the 30 yuan that Jiang Tao lent her as soon as possible.

The meal lasted from around noon until around 1:30 pm.

Chai Zijie rushed to pay the bill, and the three of them walked out of the restaurant together.

"Mr. Chai, you should go back first. I want to talk to Mengqi alone for a bit."

After leaving the house, Jiang Tao looked at Chai Zijie and said something to him with a smile.

"Alright! You old classmates, have a good chat."

Chai Zijie chuckled and responded, then looked at Yuan Mengqi and said:
"Mengqi, you don't need to go to the store this afternoon. Just keep Mr. Jiang company."

"Ahem, yes, Mr. Chai."

Yuan Mengqi brushed a strand of hair that had fallen beside her ear with a slightly embarrassed expression.

Mr. Chai's words sound so easily misinterpreted!

Chai Zijie smiled and waved his hand, saying:
"President Jiang, I'll head back now. If you need anything, just call me or Mengqi."

"Okay, thank you for lunch, Mr. Chai. Goodbye."

Jiang Tao smiled and waved to Chai Zijie, watching him walk towards the direction of Yicheng Real Estate.

"What do you want to talk to me about in private?"

After Chai Zijie left, Yuan Mengqi looked at Jiang Tao curiously, her face filled with questions.

"Let's talk in my car, this place is perfect."

After Jiang Tao finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards his Mercedes-Benz G-Class parked nearby.

"Shall we talk in the car?"

Yuan Mengqi watched Jiang Tao's retreating figure with a slightly surprised expression.

"Let's go? What are you thinking about? Are you afraid I'll eat you up in the car?"

Jiang Tao didn't hear the commotion behind him. He turned around and saw Yuan Mengqi still standing there in a daze. He then smiled and teased her.

"Cough cough, who's afraid? I'm not."

Upon hearing Jiang Tao's words, Yuan Mengqi blushed, brushed her hair aside, and took small steps to get into the car with him.

Bang!
Bang!
After closing the car door, Jiang Tao first opened the car window a crack and lit a cigarette.

Then he turned to look at Yuan Mengqi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and said:

"Yuan Mengqi, do you know about your ex-husband Liu Gang winning 1000 million yuan?" (End of Chapter)
