A piece of high-value information casually refreshed can be worth a whole year of his busy business operations.
While browsing through his social media feed, he lets his thoughts wander, and time quickly flies by.
Bzzz bzzz bzzzâ
The first alarm clock on Jiang Taoâs phone rang, and he hurriedly exited the social media feed.
He found the public account of Black Bull Barbecue and clicked in, then went into the lottery page.
Afterward, Jiang Tao looked at the "Green Water Ghost" watch on his wrist, waiting for the "lucky moment" to come.
When the minute hand reached 0:43 and the second hand ticked to 10 seconds, Jiang Tao decisively clicked the lottery button on the phone screen!
Whoosh whoosh whooshâ
The pointer on the lottery page spun, then jumped out with the words "Thanks for participating!"
"Damn! Didnât win!"
The draw took 2 seconds, leaving only 3 seconds left!
Jiang Tao didnât hesitate for a second and quickly clicked the lottery button again!
Whoosh whoosh whooshâ
The pointer on the lottery page spun again.
"Congratulations, you won a Black Bull Barbecue annual card!"
"Whew! Finally got you!"
Seeing the prompt message on the phone screen, Jiang Tao finally let out a sigh of relief!
He opened the details of the "Black Bull Barbecue Annual Card" for a look.
With the Black Bull Barbecue Annual Card, one can dine at Black Bull Barbecue and enjoy a free meal service once a day.
This card is for single-person use only and cannot be shared with others.
The annual card Jiang Tao drew has not been registered for real-name authentication yet.
He just needs to enter his phone number and identity information to complete the final step of authentication and activation.
Jiang Tao is not very interested in this annual card.
Having buffet occasionally is fine, but every day would be unbearable!
Immediately, Jiang Tao opened Xianyu, ready to list it for sale.
First, he typed "Black Bull Barbecue Annual Card" into the search bar.
And what do you know, there it was, not just one, but seven or eight of them!
It seems there are quite a few lucky ones like him who also drew annual cards.
Moreover, these cards were also sold!
The prices ranged between 55,000 to 58,000.
Jiang Tao couldnât tell if these were real transactions, if sellers were just creating hype, or if the business was buying them back?
He had no way to verify any of this.
"55,000... thatâs still okay! Almost half price."
"If this thing falls into the hands of a foodie, having a big meal every day at half price is a great value."
"Iâll try listing it for 58,000 first! If I can make an extra 3,000, itâs 3,000 more!"
Jiang Tao, after a simple check, followed those sellers he found and posted a resale message.
Selling price 58,000, no negotiations accepted.
Once listed, Jiang Tao finally put down the phone, turned, and hugged Xu Li.
Spent 66 yuan to put himself in [Deep Sleep Mode] as well.
Time to sleep!
...
a.m. the next morning.
The door to Jiang Bing and Jiang Xueâs bedroom opened as Xu Li stepped inside.
Seeing her little sister-in-law and daughter sleeping soundly, Xu Li smiled.
"Xiao Bing, Xiao Xue, time to get up~"
"The school bus is about to arrive downstairs~"
Xu Li walked to the bedside, one hand on each, pinching their noses to wake them up.
Soon, both Jiang Bing and Jiang Xue were awake.
"Mommy, how many days until Sunday? School is so tiring~"
Jiang Xue sat up from under the covers, pouting as she murmured.
The little one has five days each week where she doesnât want to go to school, truly a chronic morning riser.
"Second sister-in-law, I donât have work until 9, let me sleep for another hour, no need to save breakfast for me, you all eat yourselves."
Jiang Bing was lazier than Jiang Xue, turning over, ready to sleep some more.
Suddenly, realizing something was wrong, she jolted and her eyes shot open!
Seeing the well-covered blanket on her, Jiang Bingâs heart, which was almost in her throat, finally settled back into her chest.
Yet the expression on her face changed from pale to red, with a dense sense of awkwardness amid the peculiarity!
Careless!
How did I just... fall asleep like that last night!
Thankfully, the blanket was on.
Otherwise, if the second sister-in-law had seen, it would have been the ultimate social death scene!
"Skipping breakfast isnât good, it easily leads to gallstones."
"If you want to sleep, sleep for another half an hour, your second brother isnât awake yet, Iâll call you later."
"Xiao Xue, hurry up and get dressed, the school bus will arrive downstairs in half an hour."
"Ahh! Why can adults sleep in but kids canât~"
Though Jiang Xue complained and was unwilling.
But she didnât stop for a moment while getting dressed and quickly put on her school uniform.
Xu Li skillfully tied Jiang Xueâs hair into a bun at the dresser, the mother and daughter left the house talking and laughing.
As Jiang Bing watched them leave, she didnât bother with lazy sleep and hurriedly started damage control.
