Bai Gezhuang New Village District.
On the big bed in Room 1601 of Building 28.
After finishing their game of poker, Xu Li rested her head on Jiang Taoās arm, whispering to him about some things that happened during the day in the neighborhood.
A neighbor got arrested, two elderly women downstairs quarreled with hands on their hips, and community workers came for household inspections.
Quite a few things happened on what seemed to be an ordinary day.
"Honey, even my parents have jobs now, and Iām at home every day doing nothing meaningful. Isnāt that useless?"
As Xu Li touched the flab on Jiang Taoās belly, she spoke in a wistful tone.
Back home, the kindergarten conditions were rudimentary, with no place for lunch or nap.
Every morning after dropping off the child, Xu Li had to bring Jiang Xue back home for lunch and accompany her nap at noon.
After nap time, she would take her back to kindergarten and pick her up after school.
Xu Li wanted to find a job, but couldnāt find anything suitable, so she could only be a full-time mom at home.
Since coming to Beijing, with Jiang Xue attending Eddy International Kindergarten, the school bus picks her up and drops her off downstairs every day.
Besides breakfast, lunch, and dinner, there are also various snacks, fruits, fully nutritious and diverse.
Parents donāt have to worry about anything, just entrust the child to the school with peace of mind.
After all, with an annual tuition of 180,000 yuan, it wouldnāt make sense if the service wasnāt comprehensive enough.
Jiang Tao lightly patted Xu Liās perky bottom and laughed:
"Didnāt we agree when we got married? Iām responsible for making money and supporting the family, and youāre responsible for being beautiful as a flower; we divide the work and each performs our role."
"But, I also really want to do something. Although staying at home every day is fulfilling, I still feel useless."
"Silly, stop overthinking. Itās enough for our family to have me earning money; you and our daughter just need to be responsible for spending it."
"Didnāt Xiao Xue want to learn ballet? Letās enroll her in a class, and you can take her to learn."
"She is likely to only have a three-minute enthusiasm, liking it for less than two days."
"What if she really likes it? How would you know if you donāt try? If she doesnāt like this, weāll try another. Thereās always something she truly enjoys."
"Finding a childās genuine interest and nurturing it from a young age can avoid many detours."
Xu Li nodded and said:
"Alright then, tomorrow after school, Iāll take her to a dance class outside the community to see if anyone teaches ballet and sign her up for some trial classes to let her experience it."
Jiang Tao said, "In the past, we didnāt have the means, it wasnāt possible to nurture even if we wanted to. Now that we have the means, we should cultivate well."
Xu Li adjusted herself into a comfortable position in Jiang Taoās arm, grinning cheekily:
"While Iām not busy, thereās another very important matter we can take care of."
Jiang Tao asked curiously, "What important matter?"
"What do you think?"
Xu Li turned over and let her actions explain instead.
From around 11 p.m., they fooled around until midnight.
Watching the already asleep Xu Li beside him, Jiang Tao, feeling moved, opened the Daily Intelligence System to check todayās intelligence.
[Todayās Intelligence 01]:
Yesterday, you had contact with Jiang Yi and obtained related intelligenceā
Jiang Yiās brother, Jiang Haiās daughter, Jiang Anāanās condition worsened, urgently needing 400,000 for surgery, and currently short of 150,000.
Offering help could earn the gratitude of Jiang Haiās family and Jiang Yiās most genuine friendship.
[Drop of Waterās Kindness]: Jiang Anāan will become a film star in the future; the return on investment this time is 10,000%!
...
"Jiang Yiās niece? Drop of Waterās Kindness?"
Seeing todayās refreshed first intelligence, especially that super high return of 10,000%, Jiang Taoās eyes lit up.
That is to say, if he lends Jiang Yiās brother 150,000 now for the surgery, he could receive at least 15 million in returns in the future?
Although... this investment might take a long time to see returns.
But such an ultra-high return rate is still worth the investment!
After all, for Jiang Tao now, 150,000 isnāt a significant amount of money.
Just treat it as putting aside a term deposit!
150,000 turning into 15 million, even banks in paradise donāt offer such high interest rates!
Moreover, since Jiang Tao met Jiang Yi at Eddy International Kindergarten, several pieces of intelligence triggered by her brought millions in earnings to Jiang Tao.
Plus, he also got a formula that can be parsed and optimized by the system from Jiang Yi.
Taking out 150,000 to help her family through a rough patch didnāt seem like much to Jiang Tao.
"Iāll ask Jiang Yi tomorrow to see whatās the situation."
With his mind set, Jiang Tao continued to flip through the second intelligence of the day.
[Todayās Intelligence 02]:
Yesterday, you had contact with Qi Dongqiang, the General Manager of Jingxin Fisheries, and obtained related intelligenceā
Qi Dongqiangās wife, Dong Mei, has been unfaithful with his nephew, Tian Huilong.
...
"Rich people do have some peculiar ways of having fun..."
Seeing todayās second intelligence, Jiang Tao was left speechless.
Rich people love seeking thrill rather than leading a good life.
Even Qi Dongqiang, a general manager of such a big enterprise, couldnāt escape being cheated on.
"Dong Mei..."
"Why does this name sound familiar?"
Jiang Tao suddenly remembered.
Before, when he and Xu Li went to Eddy International Kindergarten to inquire about enrollment, one of the principals who received them had this name.
With a mental cue, Jiang Tao focused his attention on the name "Dong Mei."
Instantly, the image of Dong Mei appeared in his mind.
About 1.6 meters tall, well-proportioned, wearing a pair of pomegranate-red glasses, with permed curly hair.
An image of intellectual elegance and grace.
