All eyes were on Jiang Tao.

Some people looked disdainful, while others were curious about who he was calling.

He Jing looked at Jiang Tao with a complicated expression.

Gratitude mingled with a touch of ambiguity.

Regardless of whether Jiang Tao can help her solve her family's problems,

She was grateful to the man who stood up for her and protected her when she was lost and helpless.

beep-

The phone rang for about 10 seconds before being answered, and Bai Yulan's familiar voice came from the other end.

"Little Jiang, you called your sister much more often today than usual. Please keep it up."

Bai Yulan's cheerful tone carried a hint of joy, clearly indicating that she did not dislike Jiang Tao's repeated calls to her today; on the contrary, she was more than happy to receive them.

Jiang Tao laughed heartily, "Sister Bai, I've troubled you again. I'm so sorry."

"Hey kid, what's there to be embarrassed about with me?"

"I'd love for you to bother me every day. So, what's the matter this time?"

Bai Yulan spoke to Jiang Tao in a tone as if they were siblings, without a trace of impatience or reluctance.

Bai Yulan initially regarded Jiang Tao as her savior.

But the longer they knew each other and the more time they spent together, the better.

After learning more about Jiang Tao, Bai Yulan developed a strong interest in him.

She loves running, and Jiang Tao's running ability is second to none in Ping County; he is undoubtedly number one.

Even on a national scale, his abilities are top-notch.

She also enjoys playing golf, and hundreds of thousands of netizens across the internet have witnessed Jiang Tao's golf skills firsthand.

His golf debut at the Huabin Golf Course amazed everyone!

In addition, Jiang Tao has a straightforward and generous personality, and a sunny and handsome appearance.

And his kindness to Bai Yulan and her family.

All these factors combined mean that Bai Yulan treats Jiang Tao even better than her own younger brother.

"That's right, Sister Bai. I have a friend whose family is in the building materials business. They have about six million yuan in project payments tied up with Longcheng Real Estate."

"My friend's family is facing some financial difficulties right now. Sister Bai, do you have any influence with Longcheng Real Estate?"

Jiang Tao didn't beat around the bush with Bai Yulan and simply recounted the story of He Jing's family.

"Sister Bai? Holy crap, could the Sister Bai he's talking about be General Manager Bai of the Magnolia Hotel?"

"No way? How could a mere internet celebrity like him be connected to someone as important as Sister Bai?"

"What if? There are several well-known Sister Bais in Ping County!"

"Maybe it really is Sister Bai."

"Even if it really is Sister Bai, she might not necessarily do him this favor. Several million yuan in project funds is not a small amount."

After overhearing the conversation between Jiang Tao and Bai Yulan, Cai Zihang and the others whispered among themselves.

"I thought it was something serious, but it's just this."

"Six million isn't a huge sum. I still have some influence with Zhou Di."

"By the way, Xiao Wu told me that Zhou Di also came to our place for dinner today, and he probably hasn't left yet."

"Wait a moment, little brother, let me call Zhou Di and tell him."

On the other end of the phone, Bai Yulan readily agreed to Jiang Tao's request.

For He Jing and her parents, the matter concerning the life and death of their family company was just a trivial matter to Bai Yulan.

Unless a zero is added after six million, it might put some pressure on the Magnolia Awards.

"Then I'll wait for Sister Bai's good news."

Jiang Tao hung up the phone after speaking and looked at He Jing, saying:
"It shouldn't be a big problem."

"Thank you so much, Brother Jiang. You've really gone to a lot of trouble this time."

He Jing looked at Jiang Tao with gratitude and deep affection.

Jiang Tao was naturally familiar with this look; he had seen it on Yuan Mengqi before, and it was exactly the same.

Could it be that He Jing has also fallen for me?

As her career grew, her charm increased.

Jiang Tao gradually came to understand the troubles of a man who is too outstanding.

"Hey, sir, is that Ms. Bai you just talked to on the phone the same Ms. Bai from the Magnolia Hotel?"

As soon as He Jing finished speaking, a girl with a patch of green hair in Cai Zihang's group asked curiously.

"Your listening comprehension is good; you should be able to get a perfect score on your English listening test."

Jiang Tao gave a sly smile and gave the girl a thumbs up.

"So what if you know Sister Bai? It's not like you don't know anyone else."

"I also have Sister Bai's phone number, but I don't usually bother her with trivial matters."

Cai Zihang looked at Jiang Tao with disdain, but his tone was clearly sour.

He did have Bai Yulan's phone number, but he found it on his father's phone and then saved it to his own phone unilaterally.

Even if he called Bai Yulan, she wouldn't know who this little brat was at all.

Young people care about their image; he just wanted to save face in front of Jiang Tao.

Looking at Cai Zihang, the "internet celebrity" who ruined his good deed, he felt a surge of hatred!

Although he is not short of girls with good looks and figures around him.

But girls like He Jing are not only beautiful and have a good figure, but also excel in their studies, have a clean background, and possess a gentle temperament.

There isn't even one person who can be found around Cai Zihang.

With other girls, he just plays around, it's all just flinging around.

But he was truly in love with He Jing and wanted to marry her!
He Jing needed his help this time, which was originally a good opportunity, but it was all ruined by Jiang Tao's sudden appearance.

"Look, look! Isn't that President Zhou from Longcheng?!"

"Oh my god, it really is President Zhou! His bodyguard is so cool!"

"In Ping County, you can count the number of people who go out with bodyguards on one hand!"

"Look at the way he walks, so impressive!"

Cai Zihang's companions suddenly looked toward the hotel's main entrance, their attention immediately drawn to a group of people who had just come out.

The group of people were all dressed formally in suits and shirts, and each of them looked very imposing.

But the most imposing one had to be the middle-aged man with a square face, tall stature, and slicked-back hair, who walked right in the middle.

The man walked towards the parking lot while making a phone call.

Upon seeing Jiang Tao and his group, especially Jiang Tao himself, the man's eyes lit up, and he quickened his pace. "Why is President Zhou coming this way, Mr. Zhou!"

"Wow, it's true! I suddenly feel so much pressure!"

"My god, no wonder he's President Zhou from Longcheng, I can feel his pressure even from a distance!"

When Cai Zihang's companions saw Zhou Di walking towards them, they all looked extremely nervous.

Although their elders were all well-known figures in Ping County.

But compared to Zhou Di of Longcheng Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., they are not even in the same league.

This powerful outsider has suppressed the local bullies in Ping County to the point that they can't even raise their heads.

Jiang Tao also looked at Zhou Di, but he wasn't as nervous as Cai Zihang and his gang of kids.

Zhou Di's abilities are still far inferior to those of Xiang Huabin of the Huabin Group and Du Taiming, the boss of MixC Mall.

Jiang Tao could talk and chat with Xiang Huabin and Du Taiming like brothers, let alone Zhou Di.

Soon, Zhou Di and his group arrived in front of Jiang Tao and his group.

Zhou Di stopped about two meters away from Jiang Tao, his gaze filled with admiration.

"Sister Bai, I saw Jiang Shen. Let's chat amongst ourselves. I'll hang up now."

After greeting Bai Yulan on the other end of the phone, Zhou Di hung up and then took two steps forward to greet Jiang Tao.

"Hello Jiang Shen, I'm Zhou Di. It's a pleasure to meet you here."

"President Zhou is right. Just call me Jiang Tao. 'God Jiang' is just a nickname that netizens are making fun of."

Jiang Tao extended his hand to shake hands with Zhou Di with neither arrogance nor servility, his face always bearing a relaxed and carefree smile.

"Haha, Jiang Shen, you're too modest. I watched your game at the Huabin Golf Club the day before yesterday, it was definitely this one~"

As Zhou Di smiled and spoke, he gave Jiang Tao a thumbs-up, offering a heartfelt compliment.

Jiang Tao smiled and said, "It's just good luck."

Zhou Di praised, "Jiang Shen, you're being too modest. We're already incredibly lucky to get one hole-in-one. For you to get 10 holes-in-one in a tournament is definitely not just good luck; it's a testament to your skill!"

Cai Zihang and his group were quite unconvinced when they heard Zhou Di praising Jiang Tao.

Even now, they still insist that the golf match Jiang Tao played at Huabin Golf Club the day before yesterday was scripted and that there must be something fishy going on!
The reason they think this way is because they know too little about Xiang Huabin, the general manager of Huabin Manor, and Du Taiming, the general manager of MixC.

Only people like Zhou Di, who have some understanding of Xiang Huabin and Du Taiming, know this.

Someone of their caliber would never use such a clumsy script to fool the public.

If the matter is exposed, the impact on the company's image will be absolutely disastrous, and the losses will outweigh the gains!

"By the way, Sister Bai just mentioned that you have a friend who still has some outstanding payments for construction work at Longcheng Real Estate, right?"

After praising Jiang Tao, Zhou Di changed the subject and talked about what Bai Yulan had just discussed with him on the phone, speaking sincerely:

"Jiang Shen, have your friend's dad bring the contract and bills to our company tomorrow to reconcile the accounts. I'll have the finance department settle the accounts in one go on the spot."

"We must give face to Jiang Shen and Sister Bai. Just consider it as making friends with Jiang Shen."

Upon hearing Zhou Di's words, He Jing, who was standing next to Jiang Tao, widened her beautiful eyes instantly, her gaze filled with disbelief!
Settlement in one lump sum!!

Mr. Zhou just said he wants to settle all his family's accounts in one lump sum!
Originally, He Jing's father thought that it would be quite good if he could get around 200 million yuan in payment through Cai Zihang's family connections.

With this 200 million, he can take on other engineering projects.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Di agreed to settle all the payments for the goods with my family in one lump sum!
That’s 600 million!

Settling accounts is a done deal!

"Thank you so much, Mr. Zhou."

Jiang Tao smiled and thanked Zhou Di, though he wasn't really grateful.

Firstly, this money originally belonged to He Jing's family.

Secondly, six million is not a large sum of money for Jiang Tao.

Even if we can't get a single penny from Zhou Di today.

He wanted to help He Jing's family, but it was just a small favor.

For the reward of the "Hero Saves the Beauty" mission.

Even if Jiang Tao had to lend He Jing's father three to five million yuan out of his own pocket, it would still be a huge profit for him.

Not counting the 88 cash reward for the mission, the rewards for physique, charm, health, and inventory alone are worth far more than three to five million!
These are things that no amount of money can buy.

Of course, this outcome is the best possible one.

"Haha, you're too kind, Jiang Shen. Paying back debts is only right!"

Zhou Di laughed heartily and said:
"I have always instructed my subordinates to settle the project payments with our cooperating contractors in a timely manner and try not to delay payment. However, due to various unforeseen circumstances, there are occasional delays."

"However, I have instructed my subordinates to prioritize settling payments for Jiang Shen's project in the future."

Zhou Di's words were a kind of guarantee for Jiang Tao, or rather, a way of giving face to Jiang Tao and Bai Yulan.

Anyone who has worked in engineering knows how important Zhou Di's promise is.

Not far away, Cai Zihang and the others listened to the conversation between Jiang Tao and Zhou Di, and their faces all showed expressions of utter shock!

They also knew the significance of Zhou Di's words!

Even for these second-generation rich kids, six million is not a small sum!

Cai Zihang's father probably only has a face worth one or two million in front of Zhou Di.

After all, on the internet where the average annual income is hundreds of thousands or millions, one or two million is not a lot of money.

In reality, only a very small number of people nationwide can afford to come up with one or two million yuan.

One or two million is an astronomical figure, let alone more than six million!
With just one phone call, Jiang Tao helped He Jing's family recover more than six million yuan in construction fees.

The influence on Cai Zihang and his group of young people is still very strong!
After a few words about He Jing's family's construction payment, Jiang Tao and Zhou Di chatted briefly for a bit more.

Finally, after exchanging contact information, Zhou Di led his group away.

As for Cai Zihang and his group of young men standing not far away...

Zhou Di didn't even glance at them, completely ignoring them!

Cai Zihang and his friends' fathers all had to lower their stance in front of Zhou Di.

There is no harm without comparison.

Zhou Di's enthusiasm and attention towards Jiang Tao, and his disregard for Cai Zihang and his group, formed a stark contrast.

The pride of that bunch of kids was instantly shattered.

"..."

"..."

"gone!"

Cai Zihang waved his hand, and the group of people glanced at Jiang Tao with complicated expressions before turning around and walking towards where they had parked their cars.

"Brother Jiang, thank you so much! You've been a huge help to our family this time."

He Jing's eyes rippled with tears as she looked at Jiang Tao; no amount of gratitude could express her thanks at that moment. (End of Chapter)
