Financial freedom starts with the daily intelligence system!

After chatting for a while downstairs, the group went upstairs together, laughing and talking.

What just happened in the supermarket was quite thrilling.

However, it did not have a significant impact on Jiang Tao and Xu Li's lives.

The couple even benefited greatly from this incident.

After subduing the knife-wielding assailant, Jiang Tao not only completed the special mission of "acting bravely for a just cause" but also received a generous reward.

They also received great benefits from Gu Hongsheng, the owner of the supermarket chain.

As the saying goes, everything has two sides.

The same event was undoubtedly an extremely unfortunate thing for the victims, Gu Yao and Gu Hongsheng.

But for Jiang Tao, it was a "good thing" that brought him real benefits.

Just like a heavy rain is a good thing for farmers, but a bad thing for amusement park owners.

"Qiqi, Zhang Chao, did you two plan this together? You bought almost the same things!"

In the elevator going upstairs, several people were carrying various nutritional supplements and gift fruit boxes.

Fang Qi and Zhang Chao were invited to our home today, and naturally, they felt embarrassed to come empty-handed.

They both bought a lot of things without prior arrangement.

Moreover, they are not cheap; they cost at least three or four thousand.

For Zhang Chao now, spending this amount of money is nothing.

But for Fang Qi, today's trip cost almost half a month's salary.

Of course, she wasn't just trying to save face; she mainly wanted to gain some favor with Jiang Tao.

For Fang Qi, achieving positive performance targets for the bank is still somewhat of a challenge.

Among her relatives and friends, her cousin Xu Li and her cousin-in-law Jiang Tao are the most likely to help her.

"When visiting my cousin's family, I certainly can't come empty-handed."

Fang Qi said with a smile, emphasizing the fact that the two sides were related.

"It's just a regular get-together, a meal together, nothing special like holidays."

"When my parents see this, they'll definitely say you're wasting money."

Xu Li and her cousin, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, had always had a good relationship since childhood, and it was still the same now.

Although the two sisters haven't seen each other for a long time due to work, life, and living in different places, their relationship has not grown distant.

Upon meeting again, they quickly rekindled their initial closeness with just a few words.

"It's just a small gift, sister-in-law, you don't need to be so formal with me."

Zhang Chao's gaze kept drifting, intentionally or unintentionally, towards Fang Qi, who was standing next to Xu Li, and Fang Qi would occasionally steal a glance at him.

Father, like son.

They thought they had done it very discreetly.

But Jiang Tao and Xu Li, who were standing nearby, saw the subtle expressions on the two people's faces clearly.

The couple exchanged a glance and felt that there was a very high probability that Zhang Chao and Fang Qi would become a couple!
Hey~
While the group was talking, the elevator doors opened on the 16th floor.

"When we arrive in Qiqi, we will stay in room 1601."

After Xu Li called out to Fang Qi, the group went down the elevator together and knocked on the door.

Click~
The door opened, and standing inside was Du Yongmei, the mother-in-law, with a smile on her face.

Today, Jiang Tao and Xu Li invited Jiang Tao's mother and her family to the dinner party as well, making it more lively with more people.

"Ah... Auntie, it's been a long time. You look even better than the last time we met."

Fang Qi was slightly surprised when she saw Du Yongmei; she almost didn't recognize her.

Du Yongmei is currently taking care of herself during her pregnancy, and she is being served delicious food and drinks every day.

With no worries, I always maintain a cheerful mood.

In addition, she is currently using the whitening face mask that Xu Li gave her.

Du Yongmei looked radiant and prosperous.

No one could tell that she was already a grandmother.

Du Yongmei looks younger than many women in their early forties.

"Qiqi is here! And this handsome young man, please come in, please come in."

After greeting Fang Qi and Zhang Chao with a smile, Du Yongmei stepped back a few paces to invite everyone in, and said:

"Your uncle and aunt are busy in the kitchen. Please forgive them if we haven't been hospitable enough."

"No, no, it's us who are troubling Auntie and Uncle. This is some bird's nest I bought for you. Please try it and see if you like it."

"Oh, Qiqi, you're here now, but you bought so much stuff. It's too much of a waste."

"It's just a small token of my appreciation as your niece, I hope you won't find it offensive."

"You've always been such a sensible child. Come and sit down, come and sit down."

"Are your parents in good health? Why didn't they come together?"

"I'll come over to your house with your uncle and I to bother them another day."

Du Yongmei also likes her niece very much.

He held her hand while chatting and laughing about everyday things.

"Brother-in-law! You're famous again! You're famous again!!"

"Second brother, you're so brave! You'll always be that way in my heart!"

Before Jiang Tao and the others could even sit down on the sofa, Xu Sha and Jiang Bing rushed out of Jiang Xue's room in a great hurry.

The two of them each held a mobile phone in their hand, and both looked excited.

"What's wrong? What are you two shouting about?"

Du Yongmei is currently pregnant, and she hardly ever uses her phone anymore, so naturally she doesn't know what's happening online.

Zhang Chao and Fang Qi were also driving and didn't notice that Jiang Tao, who had already become a trending topic, was standing right in front of them.

"Mom, look! My brother-in-law just did a good deed at the supermarket and someone filmed it and posted it online. Everyone is praising my brother-in-law!"

Xu Sha happily pointed her phone screen at her mother, where a video on Kuaishou (TikTok) had already surpassed 300 million views.

Xu Sha tapped her finger, and the video started playing.

The video shows a chaotic scene inside the supermarket, with noisy shouts and footsteps, looking just like a scene from a movie.

Suddenly, a figure in the video leaps high into the air and kicks a fierce-looking man with a knife, sending him flying seven or eight meters away.

Clang!!!

The shelves collapsed, glass bottles shattered, and the burly man was buried underneath.

The entire video is only 15 seconds long, but the scene captured is still very impactful.

"Xiao Tao, Lili, what's going on?"

After seeing the video, Du Yongmei immediately recognized the person in the video as Jiang Tao.

She turned to look at Jiang Tao and Xu Li, asking them with a worried expression.

Zhang Chao and Fang Qi looked at Jiang Tao with a hint of awe.

This was the first time they had ever known that Brother Jiang and his brother-in-law had such an unknown side!
The scene of him leaping high into the air and kicking someone seven or eight meters away in the video is still replaying in their minds!
Is that something a normal person could do?

My brother-in-law and his brother-in-law are actually hidden masters?
"It's all alright now, Mom. I was shopping at the supermarket with my husband when..."

Xu Li briefly explained the cause, process, and outcome of the matter to her mother to dispel her doubts.

"It's good that you two are alright, it's good that you're alright, God bless you."

After hearing her daughter's account, Du Yongmei patted her chest, her face showing lingering fear.

She didn't say anything pointless like that we shouldn't take the risk.

The two returned home safely, which is the best outcome.

"Brother Jiang, you're amazing! To be honest, if I were in that situation, I definitely wouldn't dare to act as bravely as you."

After hearing Xu Li's account of what happened, Zhang Chao gave Jiang Tao a thumbs up. "Brother-in-law is awesome! Nobody cares about that lunatic, he just runs around like that."

Fang Qi was somewhat resentful when she liked Jiang Tao's post.

"The matter is over and resolved, let's not talk about it anymore, let's talk about something happy."

Jiang Tao chuckled and interrupted the conversation, winking at Zhang Chao and Fang Qi as he said:

"Why don't you two go to the balcony and talk to each other alone?"

"Cough cough..."

Fang Qi glanced at Zhang Chao shyly after hearing Jiang Tao's words.

She naturally understood that Jiang Tao meant for them to talk alone; he was creating an opportunity for them to have private conversations.

Xu Li chuckled from the side, "What are you waiting for, Chaozi? Take the initiative!"

"Ahem, let's go, Fang Qi, to the balcony for some fresh air."

Upon hearing Xu Li's words, Zhang Chao was the first to stand up from the sofa and extend an invitation to Fang Qi.

"okay."

Fang Qi suppressed her shyness and got up to follow Zhang Chao to the balcony.

After the two went out onto the balcony, they closed the glass door separating the two spaces, instantly cutting off the conversation from the living room.

At first, the two were a little reserved, and their conversations were mostly in a question-and-answer format.

What job do you do? What are your hobbies? What kind of food do you like to eat? And so on.

During their conversation, the two discovered they had quite a few common interests.

Zhang Chao recently bought a road bike and started riding.
Fang Qi, however, is a cyclist with more than four years of cycling experience.

Besides cycling, the two also enjoy watching movies and hiking.

With many shared interests, the two naturally had more to talk about, and the more they chatted, the more they clicked.

If Xu Li hadn't knocked on the door to tell them it was time to eat...

They can chat on the balcony all night tonight.

Their first meeting and subsequent chat quickly built up a strong rapport between Zhang Chao and Fang Qi.

Both of them felt a sense of regret for not having met sooner.

Back in the living room, everyone chatted and laughed before sitting down at a large round table.

The Jiang family, the Xu family, and then Zhang Chao and Fang Qi filled a large round table.

Xu Li also deliberately arranged for Zhang Chao and Fang Qi to sit together, so that they could continue to interact and deepen their relationship.

Xu Li, as the older sister, was very concerned about her cousin's marriage.

Although it is now common for people in their late twenties to be unmarried.

There are plenty of unmarried people in Beijing who are in their thirties or forties.

However, from the perspective of having children at the appropriate age, it is better to have them earlier.

As people age, various bodily functions decline, and the risks associated with childbirth also increase.

For older mothers like my own mother and my aunt who had unplanned pregnancies, it's especially important to pay attention.

Xu Li now accompanies her mother to prenatal checkups almost every week.

Regarding his unexpectedly arrived little brother.

As the eldest sister, she was also eagerly anticipating his arrival.

With sisters Xu Li and Xu Sha and the lively Jiang Bing at the party, the atmosphere was sure to be lively.

Everyone chatted and laughed, enjoying the delicious food while also strengthening their bonds.

Jingle Bell--

Halfway through dinner, Jiang Tao's phone rang.

I took out my phone and saw that the caller ID showed "Goat".

"Mom and Dad, Lily, please take care of Chaozi and Qiqi first. Lao Dan from the company needs to talk to me."

Jiang Tao smiled and said something to everyone before getting up and walking towards the balcony.

Shan Yang would never call Jiang Tao at this time of night unless it was something important.

The fact that he's calling so suddenly means he must have something important to report to him.

"Feed the goats."

Jiang Tao strode onto the balcony, casually pulling out a cigarette from his pocket and lighting it.

"Mr. Jiang..."

Shan Yang's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"That's it..."

"Well, what you said makes sense."

"Okay, you can do it now. Just broadcast it for a little while."

"Okay, I'm hanging up now. You should also be ready to take control of the situation."

After the call was connected, the two exchanged a few words and then ended the call.

The video of Jiang Tao's act of bravery at the supermarket is gaining popularity online.

It even received praise from several influential official media outlets.

The praise from official media outlets is like adding fuel to a burning pile of firewood.

The news about Jiang Tao's act of bravery quickly rose to the top of the trending topics on major news and short video platforms in less than three hours.

at the same time.

Jiang Tao's Douyin account has seen a surge in followers, from the initial hundreds of thousands to nearly a million!
While many netizens are paying attention to this matter, many are also concerned about Jiang Tao's safety.

The message Shan Yang just conveyed over the phone was that Jiang Tao should take advantage of this surge in viewership to start a live stream.

He can gain more followers, maybe even receive some gifts, and also update his online followers on his situation.

After a brief moment of thought, Jiang Tao felt that Shan Yang's suggestion was indeed very necessary.

This lazy "cloud anchor" should start doing what he's supposed to do as a person in this role.

"What's wrong, husband?"

Just as Jiang Tao hung up the phone, the partition door on the balcony opened, and Xu Li came out of the living room, asking him a question with a concerned look.

"Goat just called and asked me to go live for a while to let everyone know I'm safe."

Jiang Tao shrugged helplessly.

He doesn't really care about gaining followers or receiving gifts.

But as Shan Yang said.

It's indeed necessary to respond to the concerns of netizens and show up in the live stream to let them know I'm safe.

"Shan Yang's consideration is indeed thorough, and I feel it should be broadcast for a while."

Xu Li smiled gently and gave Jiang Tao a thumbs-up.

"Go live, honey, I'll control the flow for you."

"OK, then we'll broadcast it for a shorter time."

After Jiang Tao finished speaking, he took out his phone, quickly opened the Kuaishou app, and started logging into his Kuaishou account.

His account has always been operated by Shan Yang, so now he has to log in again to log in.

The moment Jiang Tao successfully logged into his account, his account's follower count also reached 100 million.

at the same time.

Two notification messages also appeared on Jiang Tao's retina.

Congratulations on completing the intermediate level of the "Path to Sports Star" challenge!
