Financial freedom starts with the daily intelligence system!

Jiang Tao and his daughter Yuan Mengqi chatted idly in the living room for more than ten minutes.

Yuan Mengjie and Lin Ranran began serving dishes to the table.

Unlike in the past, today the dishes used to serve food have changed from plates to earthenware pots.

Furthermore, these casseroles were all taken by Jiang Tao from the system warehouse and had the "deliciousness +3" attribute.

Jiang Tao is now the most honored guest of the Yuan family.

The level of hospitality he received was extremely high.

On a large round dining table, twelve casserole dishes were placed in full.

It is filled with a variety of brightly colored ingredients that exude an enticing aroma.

"Brother Jiang, your clay pot is truly amazing!"

"Same ingredients, same cooking method as before, but the results are so different!"

"With the help of your casserole, I have 1000% confidence in our Jiang's Delicious Casserole!"

"Our casserole shop will definitely become a huge hit in a short time after it opens!"

After everyone sat down at the dining table, Yuan Mengjie looked at Jiang Tao with excitement, equally filled with anticipation for the future.

"Haha, that's for sure. This casserole dish isn't cheap; I spent a lot of money to get it from a friend."

"They invested at least tens of millions of yuan to develop this kind of casserole that can bring out the flavor of ingredients to the fullest."

"Now, it looks like it's a success."

"Everyone, try it and see if it's any different from before."

As Jiang Tao spoke, he urged everyone to serve him food.

Yuan Mengjie and Lin Ranran had already sneaked a taste of the dish while it was being cooked in the kitchen, so they naturally knew how extraordinary the casserole was.

Yuan Mengqi and Zhao Huilan also picked up their chopsticks and each took a piece of boiled fish and a piece of shrimp from the vermicelli and shrimp dish, respectively.

"This fish tastes fresher, more tender, and more fragrant than the fish I've had before! Is this all thanks to the clay pot?"

Yuan Mengqi took a bite of the boiled fish and her eyes lit up. She looked at the casserole dish with disbelief, then at Jiang Tao.

"These shrimp are especially delicious. I've lived most of my life and never eaten such delicious shrimp."

Zhao Huilan took a bite of the shrimp and praised it highly.

"As the saying goes, 'A skilled craftsman must first have the right tools,' and this casserole is the secret weapon that makes our Jiang Family Delicious Casserole stand out in the culinary world."

As Jiang Tao put a slice of boiled beef into his bowl, he looked up at Yuan Mengqi and the others and said:
"Mengqi, Mengjie, Aunt Zhao, Ranran, this casserole is our secret weapon for victory, and also the biggest secret of our Jiang Family Delicious Casserole."

"I've only told you guys about the casserole, because I consider you all my own people and have absolute trust in you."

"At the same time, I hope everyone can keep this secret and not let a sixth person know."

Jiang Tao's eyes were unusually serious as he spoke. Yuan Mengqi and the others exchanged glances, knowing exactly what to do.

"Brother Tao, you can rest assured, we will never tell anyone about this, and we will never betray your trust in us!"

As Yuan Mengqi made the promise, she was also deeply moved and gratified.

Jiang Tao's words, "I treat you all as my own people," made her feel especially happy.

When she was with Jiang Tao, she never thought of replacing anyone, nor did she ever think of breaking up his family or taking him to her side.

She wasn't greedy; she just wanted a little bit of love from Jiang Tao.

But Jiang Tao gave her and her family far more care and help than she had imagined.

The rent for the apartment we're currently living in, which is around 100,000 yuan a year, is paid by Jiang Tao.

He arranged jobs for himself, his younger brother, and his sister-in-law, all of which were important positions with extremely high salaries.

In addition, Jiang Tao told his family the biggest secret of Jiang's Delicious Casserole.

He truly doesn't treat himself and his family as outsiders at all!

Moved, Yuan Mengqi looked at Jiang Tao with even more infatuation, and her love for him deepened.

Although she had only been with Jiang Tao for a little over two days, her love for him surpassed that of anyone else before!

"Don't worry, Brother Jiang! I, Yuan Mengjie, would rather die than betray you!"

Yuan Mengjie pounded his chest loudly; his feelings for Jiang Tao were complex yet sincere, and he was also sufficiently loyal.

"Don't talk nonsense, kid. It's not that serious."

Jiang Tao was amused by Yuan Mengjie's words, but he was also pleased with his attitude and saw his determination.

Lin Ranran also raised her hand and promised, "Brother Jiang, I promise I will never talk nonsense. If I break this promise, may I be unlucky for the rest of my life!"

Zhao Huilan's vow was even more ruthless: "Xiao Jiang, if Auntie talks nonsense, may I die a horrible death!"

“Mengqi, Mengjie, Auntie, Ranran, I know you won’t talk nonsense, and I trust you, so I’m telling you this top secret.”

"You don't need to give me any guarantees, because this matter is closely related to everyone's interests."

"The casserole restaurant in Century City is our first, but not the only one."

"In my plan, we will use the high-tech casserole as our trump card to open more branches."

"Mengqi, Mengjie, Ranran, you should also look to the future and not limit yourselves to grassroots positions."

"You are all my right-hand men, my support. All future branches will also need your management, supervision and guidance."

"You need to put yourselves in the shoes of managers when looking at problems."

"Of course, your current salary is just a transitional wage for the initial stage."

"In the future, once our business grows bigger and stronger, you guys will be our veteran management team, earning millions a year won't be a problem!"

Jiang Tao appealed to his emotions and reasoned with him, along with his rosy vision of the future.

This instantly stirred the emotions of Yuan Mengqi and her friends!
Veteran management team, annual income in the millions!
These are things that Yuan Mengqi and her brother never even dared to dream of!

The 15K salary Jiang Tao is offering them is already a high salary they've never received before!

Lin Ranran was also amazed by Jiang Tao's wonderful vision of earning millions a year in the future!

How could someone as ordinary as me, a college graduate with no special skills, get the opportunity to earn millions a year?

Lin Ranran's gaze towards Jiang Tao also became fervent, her eyes filled with admiration.

At this moment, Jiang Tao is her biggest idol and the good boss she will follow for the rest of her life!

Jiang Tao looked at Yuan Mengqi and Lin Ranran and said:
"By the way, Mengqi, Ranran, during the shop renovation, I plan to enroll you in an offline business management training course by Action Education."

"Corporate management training courses?"

Yuan Mengqi was surprised and deeply moved when she heard Jiang Tao's words.

In this light, the bright future that Jiang Tao painted for everyone was not just empty talk, but a genuine attempt to help them grow.

"Offline courses for action-oriented education!"

Lin Ranran gasped in surprise upon hearing Jiang Tao's words, her face showing utter astonishment.

Yuan Mengjie also exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, Ranran, isn't that the training company you interned at when you were in Shijiazhuang?"

Yuan Mengqi asked curiously, "Do you two know about this company?"

"Yes, sis! This Action Education is a training institution listed on the A-share market. Their training targets are the core management of companies." "Their cheapest offline course is at least 39,800 yuan!"

Lin Ranran excitedly explained the concept of action education to Yuan Mengqi.

She had previously interned at a branch office in Shijiazhuang selling courses, but unfortunately, she wasn't able to get a full-time position.

Now that Lin Ranran heard Jiang Tao say he wanted to enroll her and Yuan Mengqi in Action Education training courses, she was even more certain that he genuinely wanted to cultivate her into a core management team, and that he wasn't just saying it.

"Even the cheapest course costs 4 yuan?"

Yuan Mengqi's mouth dropped open slightly in surprise when she heard the price.

She previously worked as a real estate agent, earning only about 70,000 to 80,000 yuan a year.

They can sell just one course for 4!
Jiang Tao smiled and said, "The expenses will be handled by the company, and the company will reimburse you."

"Thank you, Brother Jiang!"

After hearing Jiang Tao's words, Lin Ranran thanked him excitedly!

She never dreamed that she would one day be attending a 4 yuan corporate management training course!

"I listen to you."

Although Yuan Mengqi felt a little sorry for Jiang Tao for spending the money, she fully complied with all his arrangements.

If Jiang Tao tells her to go east, she won't go west; she'll do whatever he tells her to do.

Jiang Tao looked at Lin Ranran and said:
"Since Ranran has some understanding of action education, then the matter of enrolling in the class will be left to you. You and Mengqi will also have normal attendance during the training period."

Lin Ranran said excitedly, "Okay, Brother Jiang! I'll get this sorted out as soon as I get to work tomorrow!"

"Yes, I believe you can do it."

Jiang Tao finally turned his gaze to Yuan Mengjie beside him:
"Mengjie, keep an eye on the shop's renovation first. There's a lot of shady stuff going on there, so be careful."

"Once the first store is on track, you can go for further training."

"In addition, during the renovation and pre-opening period, you also need to recruit enough service staff for both the front and back of house."

"Hire as many people as you need. Just decide how many people to hire based on the store's situation."

"As for wages, they can be set according to the wages of restaurant waiters in Beijing, and can be about 10% higher than those in the same industry."

"Okay, Brother Jiang! I understand! Don't worry, I guarantee I'll handle this perfectly!"

Yuan Mengjie patted his chest loudly, a confident look on his face.

"Eat, eat, eat! Don't just listen to me, everyone pick up your chopsticks, eat the dishes, eat the dishes."

Seeing that everyone had put down their chopsticks and were all listening attentively, Jiang Tao was both amused and exasperated, and urged everyone to continue eating.

"Brother Tao, try the soup of this clay pot meatballs, it really tastes much better than before."

As Yuan Mengqi spoke, she scooped a small bowl of meatball soup with a small spoon and handed it to Jiang Tao.

"Okay, thank you, Mengqi."

Jiang Tao picked up the small bowl and drank the meatball soup in one gulp. The taste had indeed improved.

"This one, and this one, and this one..."

Yuan Mengqi acted like a considerate wife, constantly putting food on Jiang Tao's plate, as if afraid he wouldn't be able to reach it.

Soon, the small plate in front of Jiang Tao was full of various dishes that Yuan Mengqi had put on his plate.

The others at the dinner table watched Yuan Mengqi and Jiang Tao's affectionate display and were immediately fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

The meal lasted from around 7 p.m. until after 9 p.m.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Jiang Tao chatted with Yuan Mengqi's family for another half hour.

It was almost 10 o'clock when I got up to say goodbye.

Zhao Huilan, Yuan Mengjie, and Lin Ranran escorted Jiang Tao to the elevator.

Yuan Mengqi then took the elevator downstairs with him.

She escorted Jiang Tao to the car and got in with him.

Yuan Mengqi is the kind of person who forgets the pain as soon as the wound heals.

When I checked out of the Century Hotel in the afternoon, my walking posture was somewhat distorted.

After getting into the Mercedes-Benz G-Class with Jiang Tao, we entered autonomous driving mode for more than half an hour.

Fortunately, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class has a large enough weight and a stable enough chassis.

People were coming and going in the neighborhood, and no one noticed that someone was driving the car.

"Miss me."

Yuan Mengqi gave Jiang Tao a light kiss on the lips before reluctantly getting out of the car and limping towards the stairwell.

Watching Yuan Mengqi disappear into the stairwell, Jiang Tao rolled down all the car windows and took out a cigarette from his pocket, lighting one.

After finishing his cigarette and the smell in the car had mostly dissipated, Jiang Tao texted Lao Jia on his phone, asking him to come and drive.

Less than five minutes after Jiang Tao sent the message, Jia Guilin jogged to the car, opened the door, and sat in the driver's seat.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, boss."

After getting into the car, Jia Guilin greeted Jiang Tao respectfully.

Jiang Tao said calmly, "It's nothing. Let's go back to Baigezhuang New Village."

"Okay, boss, please have a seat."

After calling out to Jiang Tao, Jia Guilin skillfully started the car and turned it around, heading towards Baigezhuang New Village.

Jiang Tao, bored in the back row, took out his phone and started scrolling through it, focusing mainly on finance.

Based on his observations over this period, he discovered that browsing trending news is also a way to trigger intelligence.

Before the Lunar New Year, he and his third brother made 80,000 to 90,000 yuan from Ultraman hair clips.

That piece of information was triggered by him seeing Liu Tianxian's trending Weibo post while browsing the news.

It takes about 40 minutes to get from Century City to Baigezhuang New Village.

After browsing the trending news, Jiang Tao also browsed his friends' news again.

Jiang Tao gave a thumbs up to a post Yuan Mengqi made 20 minutes earlier.

I start missing you the moment we part, and the thought only stops the moment I see you again.

The accompanying photo is a selfie of her left wrist.

On her fair wrist was a bracelet made of river-dug stones, a gift from Jiang Tao.

This bracelet is neither gold nor jade, nor even wood.

It's just an ordinary-looking stone.

But its value is definitely a thousand times or a hundred times more precious than the same weight of gold!
Many of Yuan Mengqi's friends commented that she might be in a relationship.

Some people also "condemned" her for showing off her relationship on social media.

Some people commented on how unique her bracelet was, asking where she bought it and how much it cost. (End of Chapter)
