Daily Intelligence System: Financial Independence

Chapter 661: Chapter 314: So Close, So Beautiful—Weekend in Hebei! Grand Prize of One Million! (Part 2)

"Son, you’re now an internet sensation, definitely the top influencer in Ping County."

Tian Xiaomei looked at her second son, her eyes filled with immense satisfaction and joy.

Watching her son grow better and better, this old mother couldn’t be happier!

Look at that, that’s the son we raised!

"Haha, I really didn’t expect the netizens to be so supportive. This was just a case of unintended success."

Jiang Tao laughed carefree.

He really hadn’t put much effort into his Kwai account, yet it inexplicably blew up.

On the other hand, Shan Yang and sister-in-law Xu Sha along with Jiao Jingtong were diligently planning what to shoot every day.

During filming, they always gave their best effort to ensure quality.

They livestreamed for several hours each day.

But in front of the "talent monster" Jiang Tao, all their hard work seemed so powerless!

They might not reach Jiang Tao’s current heights just by relying on their own efforts in this lifetime.

"Comparing people really makes you frustrated. My brother-in-law gained a lifetime of followers in just one day~"

Xu Sha transitioned from initially finding Jiang Tao disagreeable to becoming his little fangirl.

Now, she increasingly understands the phrase ’bias in people’s hearts is like a mountain.’

Back when she harbored resentment towards Jiang Tao, no matter how she looked at him, he was displeasing from every angle.

Seeing him inexplicably annoyed her.

Now, with the bias gone, she feels her brother-in-law is the most handsome man in the universe!

She’s even started comparing her standard for finding a partner to her brother-in-law.

"Second brother, second brother, teach me, I want to learn martial arts from you!"

"With my beauty, I can easily be harassed when out and about. As a girl, I need to learn to protect myself."

Jiang Bing approached with a giggly smile, intimately hugging Jiang Tao’s arm, her face showing pride in him.

Jiang Tao turned his head to look at Third Brother, jokingly teasing her:

"You? What’s your connection to beauty in any way?"

"Bad second brother! I’ll give you one more chance to reword that!"

Upon hearing his words, Jiang Bing immediately ceased smiling, pinching the soft flesh on his waist.

Tian Xiaomei interjected from the side: "Third brother is getting older, don’t mess with your second brother anymore, it’s late at night, don’t make people laugh."

"Mom, you definitely are second brother’s biological mom, always favoring him since childhood!"

Jiang Bing muttered, recalling the bitterness of growing up.

Clearly, she was the youngest in the family, but every time they argued, mom would always favor second brother.

Now second brother is settled down, and it’s still the same.

Jiang Tao, adding salt to the wound remarked:

"Hehe, who said you were picked up from the trash can."

"You are, you are, you are~"

"They’ve been messing around since they were kids, probably won’t change for life."

Mr. Jiang looked at his sons and daughters joking around, feeling comforted in his heart.

Compared to those siblings who act like strangers even after growing up, barely exchanging any words.

He preferred his second and third ones to be like this.

Playful, lively, this is the way siblings should be.

"In-laws, it’s getting late, we won’t disturb you upstairs."

"Mom, Dad, you should go rest early."

"In-laws take care."

"We’ll gather again another day."

"Goodbye sister and brother-in-law."

"Goodbye sister-in-law."

Amidst laughter downstairs, the group bid farewell to each other and returned home.

By the time Jiang Tao and his family got home, it was around 11 PM.

After taking turns to wash up, they retired to their rooms.

Jiang Tao and Xu Li continued working on their second child plan for over an hour before settling down.

Xu Li, exhausted but satisfied, smiled herself to sleep.

Leaning on the headboard, Jiang Tao activated his Daily Intelligence System to check today’s intel.

[Congratulations, you have completed the system upgrade, at the current stage you can unlock 4 pieces of intel daily!]

Upon opening the system panel, the first thing that appeared was the successful upgrade notification.

Spending 10 million to upgrade the system to unlock one more intel daily.

It seemed less than worthwhile, but from a long-term perspective, it was actually quite cost-effective.

After all, Jiang Tao wouldn’t settle for level 3 system in this life, satisfied with just refreshing three pieces of intel daily.

He would eventually upgrade the system to much higher levels.

Currently, with ample funds and no major expenses.

Upgrading the system early to enjoy the higher benefits is indeed a good choice.

[Today’s Intel 01]:

You had an encounter with Wang Xiaobai yesterday and received related intel—

Wang Xiaobai is meticulous, and after some training, she can competently fill the role of an assistant.

She is naturally compatible with Xu Li, making her Xu Li’s predestined assistant.

...

"Wang Xiaobai?"

Reading the first piece of intel content brought to mind the little townsfolk he met at Wangfu Tea House the day before.

Only...

Xu Li hadn’t even started filming, yet Brother Tongzi had already arranged an assistant?

"The script probably is coming soon, it wouldn’t hurt to bring her into our company for some early training."

Seeing the system’s evaluation of Wang Xiaobai ignited Jiang Tao’s intention to hire her.

Especially seeing the phrase "compatibility matched," he was even more determined to bring her over.

Finding Xu Li a responsible assistant would surely lighten his worries.

After reading the first intel, Jiang Tao proceeded to check the next one.

[Daily Intel 02]:

While drinking tea at Wangfu Tea House yesterday, you obtained the related intel—

The lottery point behind Wangfu Tea House holds a scratch-off ticket named "So Close and Beautiful, Weekend in Hebei" which can win a 1 million prize!

...

"A scratch-off ticket that can win a million!"

Upon seeing today’s second intel, Jiang Tao’s eyes widened, filled with joy!

"Could it be the upgrade has also increased the prize value of the intel?"

On the first day of the system upgrade, he harvested a piece of intel worth millions.

Instantly, Jiang Tao realized how wise it was to upgrade the system!

Of course, whether it’s really related can’t be said for sure.

But he decided it is, as it would make him happier.

"I need to go to the store tomorrow morning to grab that scratch-off ticket."

"Speaking of which, Old Jia’s house isn’t far from Wangfu Tea House."

"I can ask him to bring it over in the morning, saving me an extra trip."

"A booklet of scratch-off tickets costs no more than a thousand bucks."

"Moreover, as a big boss, going to a lottery store for scratch-offs feels undignified."

Jiang Tao was living well now but felt going to the lottery store was beneath him.

Thinking so, he immediately opened VX, found Old Jia, and sent him a message, also transferring him 5000 yuan.

Asking him to buy all "So Close and Beautiful, Weekend in Hebei" tickets from the store.

If the money wasn’t enough, he should let him know.

[Sure boss! I’ll go early tomorrow morning.]

At night, it hadn’t been a minute since Jiang Tao sent the message when he received Jia Guolin’s reply.

After instructing Jia Guolin, Jiang Tao proceeded to refresh the intel.

[Today’s Intel 03]:

You encountered Zhang Erlong yesterday and received related intel—

The attack on Gu Yao by Zhang Erlong was orchestrated by Yu Dongdong from Pang Dongdong Supermarket.

Yu Dongdong’s cousin [Huang Wei] planned the action, aiming for Pang Dongdong Supermarket to replace Supermarket Fa and capture more traffic in the shopping district post-opening.

...

"Pang Dongdong Supermarket, Yu Dongdong?"

Seeing the supermarket name and person mentioned in the third intel surprised Jiang Tao slightly.

He focused on the name "Yu Dongdong."

Swipe!

On the system interface, appeared a young man looking amiable and rotund.

"It really is him! You truly can’t judge a book by its cover..."

Jiang Tao truly didn’t expect, that seemingly amiable Pang Dongdong Supermarket’s boss Yu Dongdong, could resort to such actions.

"Real business battles are straightforward and unembellished..."
