Financial freedom starts with the daily intelligence system!

Qu Yunzhu's rapid breathing finally calmed down.

His ashen face gradually regained some color.

Although still weak, it is clear that the most dangerous moment has passed.

After being helped up from the ground by Wang Ma.

Her eyes still held a sense of disorientation and exhaustion from surviving the ordeal.

"Madam! How are you feeling? You scared me to death!"

"Thank God, thank God, you're alright."

With a sob in her voice, Wang Ma held Qu Junzhu's hand tightly.

Qu Yunzhu weakly waved her hand, indicating that she was much better.

Her gaze shifted and landed on Jiang Tao, who was still half-squatting to the side.

Although she had just lost consciousness, she was not completely unconscious and still had some awareness of what was happening around her.

She vaguely remembered that it was this young man who promptly took out the life-saving medicine and fed it to her.

When Wang Ma saw Qu Junzhu's expression, she panicked, and two thoughts began to race through her mind.

Should we conceal the truth, or confess and receive leniency?

After a brief moment of thought, Wang Ma ultimately chose the latter.

There were so many people watching, including several monks from the temple.

Qu Yunzhu could easily find out the truth by asking anyone.

Furthermore, the person involved is still here.

Paper wrapped fire.

This matter can't be hidden forever, so it's better to confess and receive leniency.

"Madam, we are so grateful to this gentleman! He happened to have some nitroglycerin tablets with him!"

"It's all my fault! It's all my fault for being careless."

"I checked so many times before leaving the house, but I still forgot the most important medicine!"

"I'm sorry, Madam, please punish me! I'll accept whatever punishment you give me, I'm so sorry, so sorry..."

As Wang Ma spoke, tears streamed down her face; her crying was so heartfelt and genuine.

For a moment, it was impossible to tell whether it was an act or a genuine expression of emotion.

"Alright, Aunt Wang, everything in this world is preordained. You didn't do it on purpose, so I don't blame you."

After Qu Junzhu finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Tao and then had time to carefully examine his appearance.

When Qu Junzhu saw Jiang Tao's appearance clearly, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Isn't that the young man who played basketball at Lao Xiang's court yesterday!"

Although Qu Junzhu doesn't understand golf, she did watch the live stream of Huabin Manor yesterday because it was so popular.

Upon seeing Jiang Tao in person, she immediately recognized him as the "God Jiang" who had played basketball exceptionally well yesterday.

"Oh it's you!"

Qu Junzhu blurted out, her voice weak but carrying a hint of surprise and joy.

"Are you the young man who played golf at the Huabin Golf Course yesterday?"

Jiang Tao was not surprised that Qu Junzhu recognized him.

After all, yesterday's events caused quite a stir online, and several related posts are still trending today.

These trending topics are also continuously bringing more followers to Jiang Tao's Kuaishou and Douyin accounts.

In just one night, his account had already gained over 8 million followers, and it was on its way to 10 million.

"Madam, do you recognize me?"

Jiang Tao pretended to be confused, and his face also showed a surprised expression.

"I watched the video of you playing golf at the Huabin Golf Course yesterday. I never expected to see you in person here today."

After confirming Jiang Tao's identity, Qu Junzhu's eyes immediately shone with an even brighter light.

This not only confirmed the other person's identity, but also gave her a wonderful feeling of "fate".

She was a devout Buddhist who deeply believed in cause and effect and destiny.

I just saw this incredibly talented young man in a video yesterday.

Today, I suddenly fell seriously ill and was on the verge of death when he miraculously saved me like a divine intervention!

Isn't this a preordained arrangement by Buddha?

In addition, Jiang Tao himself is extremely handsome and pleasing to the eye.

Now, the extraordinary charm value of 89 points is exerting its influence silently.

This charm is not simply due to his good looks.

Rather, it is a complex attraction that blends strong self-confidence, composure, sincere eyes, and a pure aura.

This extraordinary attraction transcends age boundaries, making anyone who comes into contact with him unconsciously feel favorably towards him and a sense of closeness.

Qu Yunzhu was also a woman, so naturally she was no exception.

Looking at the young man in front of her who had saved her life and who happened to be the "genius" her husband praised.

Qu Junzhu's heart was filled with gratitude, appreciation, and an indescribable tenderness and affection.

"Huabin Golf Course? Oh my god, I remember now! He's the genius who scored 10 holes-in-one in a single game yesterday!"

"It really looks like him! If it weren't for the live stream, I really wouldn't believe that anyone could achieve such a record!"

"He looks even more handsome and charismatic in person than in the videos!"

"I just said it looked like it, but I wasn't sure. Now I'm pretty sure."

Several bystanders, having overheard Jiang Tao and Qu Junzhu's conversation, instantly recognized him and began whispering among themselves.

"Young man, thank you so much for today. It's crowded here, so it's not convenient to talk. Let's go somewhere else."

Qu Junzhu frowned slightly as she listened to the surrounding chatter and the curious glances directed at her and Jiang Tao.

People of her status and position do not like being in the center of public opinion, and they especially dislike being watched by others.

"it is good."

Jiang Tao also disliked being surrounded by onlookers, so he nodded in agreement to Qu Junzhu's suggestion.

Qu Junzhu looked at Wang Ma and said softly:

"Wang Ma, help me to the quiet room, and while you're at it, call Lao Xiang and tell him about what's going on here."

"I've already notified my husband, and he's on his way here."

After whispering a report, Wang Ma quickly took Qu Junzhu's arm and helped her walk out of the hall.

Seeing this, Jiang Tao also lifted his leg and followed.

After the three left the main hall, they walked along the corridor to the end, where Wang Ma pushed open a wooden door with a sign that read "Do Not Disturb," and the group entered the backyard.

Qu Yunzhu is a major pilgrim of the Wofo Temple, and his annual offerings and incense money here amount to as much as 400,000 to 500,000 yuan.

The temple held her in high esteem and specially prepared a quiet room for her, which was not open to the public, for her to use after worshipping Buddha or to discuss Buddhist scriptures with the monks.

The meditation room is located in a secluded corner of the temple's backyard. Pushing open the wooden door, you'll find the interior decorated in a simple and elegant style, with a faint scent of sandalwood burning inside.

Unlike the solemnity of the main hall, this place is more tranquil and peaceful.

Outside the window are several stalks of green bamboo. A gentle breeze rustles the bamboo leaves, adding to the Zen-like atmosphere.

The three sat down on the sandalwood chairs in the quiet room, and Wang Ma quickly brewed hot tea.

After a short rest, Qu Junzhu felt much better. She looked at Jiang Tao, growing more and more fond of him, and couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of fate once more.

The two drank tea and chatted idly.

Qu Junzhu asked Jiang Tao some basic questions, and Jiang Tao answered them politely and tactfully, creating a harmonious and warm atmosphere.

About half an hour later, a series of hurried and slightly chaotic footsteps came from outside the quiet room, accompanied by Xiang Huabin's loud but anxious voice: "Yunzhu! Yunzhu, how are you?!"

Before he could finish speaking, the door to the quiet room was pushed open, and Xiang Huabin and Xiang Yiwei hurriedly walked in.

"Hua Bin, Yi Yi, you've arrived."

Qu Junzhu smiled with relief when she saw her husband and daughter.

"I'm fine now. Thanks to Xiao Jiang today, otherwise you might not have seen me."

"Oh, Little Jiang?"

"Mr. Jiang! How could you... Ah! I know, you saved my mother?"

When Xiang Huabin and Xiang Yiwei saw Jiang Tao sitting on a chair against the west wall of the quiet room, their expressions became incredibly interesting.

"Mr. Xiang, Ms. Xiang, I didn't expect to see you again so soon."

Jiang Tao smiled and stood up to greet the Xiang family father and daughter. His expression was very calm, without any trace of acting.

"Yes, I didn't expect to see you again so soon, especially in this way!"

As Xiang Huabin spoke, he stepped forward and plopped down next to Jiang Tao.

"Mom, what exactly happened? Dad was so anxious on the phone just now, but he couldn't explain it clearly."

Xiang Yiwei walked a few steps to Qu Junzhu, reached out and took her hand, asking with concern.

"just……"

Qu Junzhu recounted everything that had happened to her husband and daughter.

During the narration, her gaze frequently drifted to Jiang Tao beside her, her gratitude towards him evident.

"Xiao Jiang, thank you for today! I owe Hua Bin a favor."

Xiang Huabin looked at Jiang Tao and said solemnly:

"Xiao Jiang, I, Xiang Huabin, don't like empty words. Today you saved my wife, and I will remember this kindness for the rest of my life!"

"From now on, in this part of Beijing, if there's anything you need from me, Xiang Huabin, just let me know!"

"As long as it doesn't violate the law or regulations, and within my capabilities, I will have no objections! This is a promise I make to someone!"

These words came from the mouth of a tycoon who controls a vast business empire and has unfathomable connections.

Its weight is far greater than that of millions or tens of millions of dollars.

He traded a few dozen yuan worth of quick-acting heart medicine for the gratitude of the bigwig's family and a promise from him.

Jiang Tao felt that Xiang Huabin's promise was even more valuable than the 1200 million yuan meteorite that was revealed in the first intelligence report of the day!

"Thank you so much, Jiang Tao. We owe you so much for today, otherwise my mom..."

Xiang Yiwei recalled her mother's previous perilous situation and was still feeling quite frightened.

If it weren't for Jiang Tao's quick-acting heart medicine today, even if my mother had been taken to the hospital, she would have suffered some harm due to the lack of timely treatment.

There is also a very high chance of dying en route to the hospital!

A sudden heart attack is no joke.

Xiang Yiwei looked at Jiang Tao with gratitude, appreciation, and a sense of having met a "benefactor in her life."

Her feelings for Jiang Tao surged even higher, reaching an unprecedented level.

[Ding! Xiang Yiwei's favorability towards you has reached 90 points; you have become best friends!]

Congratulations on winning 1 million in cash! Friendship boat +100!

As soon as Xiang Yiwei finished speaking, the azure blue system interface popped up, displaying two notification messages.

"???"

Jiang Tao was both surprised and delighted upon seeing this, and looked at Xiang Yiwei with some puzzlement.

Xiang Yiwei's affection for me has increased way too fast!

So this is a close friend?
You should know that right now, Jiang Tao and his buddies Liu Zhiyuan, Shan Yufei, Zhang Chao, and Wang Lianming only have a friendship level of around 80 points, and it hasn't reached 90 points yet.

He and Xiang Yiwei had only known each other for a little over a day or two, and had only met twice in total.

Xiang Yiwei's affection for him can be described as skyrocketing!

Of course, this is also a good thing for Jiang Tao.

No matter what, a cash reward of 100 million is still pretty tempting!
In the past, driving a truck for 10 years, even if you worked yourself to the bone, wouldn't be as rewarding as a single "ding" now.

While secretly delighted, Jiang Tao remained outwardly calm and smiled as he said:

“There’s no need for you three to be so polite. The reason we’ve met today is perhaps because you did me a favor in my past life, so I’m here to repay you in this life.”

"Little Jiang, that's an interesting point of view. I think you're quite insightful."

Qu Junzhu's eyes lit up when she heard Jiang Tao's words, and her already high level of liking for him increased even more.

"So it seems you and our family have quite a connection."

"To be honest, when I met you yesterday, I felt like we were old friends."

"Today, at this very moment, that feeling is even stronger."

Xiang Huabin chuckled and said:

"Perhaps, as you said, we might have known each other in a past life, or even been acquaintances."

"Haha, who can disagree? I had the same feeling when I saw President Xiang."

Jiang Tao laughed it off, thinking that he might as well take advantage of this opportunity to get closer to the big shot.

"Xiao Jiang, what did I tell you yesterday? Call him Brother Xiang! Stop with all that 'General Manager' stuff!"

"Use job titles when you're at work, but don't use the same titles in your personal life."

"I still prefer you to call me Brother Xiang."

Xiang Huabin spoke with a cheerful and sincere tone, without bringing the backstabbing and scheming of his work into his personal life.

Qu Yunzhu said softly, "Our old Xiang is right. From now on, calling me 'sister-in-law' is more pleasant than calling me 'Mrs. Xiang'."

"Haha, okay, then I'll call you Brother Xiang and Sister-in-law Xiang from now on. It's an honor for me to get to know you two in such a big city as Beijing."

Jiang Tao, seeing that things were going well, accepted the advances from Xiang Huabin and his wife without any qualms.

"Yiyi, from now on..."

"Mom, stop. I already told Dad yesterday that we should each do our own thing."

As soon as Xiang Yiwei saw her mother open her mouth, she knew what she was going to say, and quickly explained:

“You and my dad can call him whatever you want, but no matter what, he’s still my brother Jiang.”

"You're right, aren't you, Brother Jiang?"

After Xiang Yiwei finished speaking, she winked at Jiang Tao, looking mischievous.

"Haha, yes, I also think it sounds more comfortable to call him Brother Jiang. Calling him Uncle Jiang makes me sound so old."

Jiang Tao laughed heartily, showing he didn't care about being addressed that way.

The group chatted idly in the quiet room for over an hour.

Xiang Huabin invited Jiang Tao and his family to his home for dinner tonight, so that everyone could get to know each other.

However, Jiang Tao needed to return to his hometown this afternoon to search for meteorites, so he postponed the gathering to three days later. (End of Chapter)
