"Thank you for your kind words, President Du. Weâre good friends with Du Enan, and accompanying her when sheâs at her weakest is the least we can do."
Jiang Tao smiled and greeted Du Taoming while his gaze instinctively fell on the Vacheron Constantin watch on Du Taomingâs left wrist.
Du Taoming noticed Jiang Taoâs glance with amusement.
Is this kid eyeing my watch again?
Jiang Tao suddenly said, "President Du, could I borrow your watch to take a look?"
"Oh? You have an interest in watches?"
Du Taoming chuckled, glancing at the Green Water Ghost on Jiang Taoâs wrist.
He thought Jiang Tao was still wearing the one he had gifted him back then.
Actually, that watch had long been given to Third Brother by Jiang Tao.
The one Jiang Tao was currently wearing was a meeting gift from Zhang Chaoâs mother.
Jiang Tao laughed, "The most expensive one Iâve ever worn was a Patek Philippe Nautilus.
Iâve never seen such an expensive piece in person like yours.
So, Iâm hoping to borrow it to snap a photo and flaunt it on my social media or something."
"Hahaha, you young folks, here you go."
Amused by Jiang Taoâs candidness, Du Taoming grew even more fond of him.
Saying this, Du Taoming swiftly undid the strap and handed the watch to Jiang Tao.
Jiang Tao joked, "Should I get some gloves? Iâve seen watch enthusiasts wear gloves."
"Nonsense, just take it."
Du Taoming casually tossed the watch worth five or six million towards Jiang Tao.
"Whoa there, sir! Youâve got a big heart! If it were to fall, how much would it cost to repair?"
Jiang Tao exclaimed softly, carefully catching the airborne watch with both hands.
Though the watch weighed less than 1000 grams in total,
holding it gave a heavy feeling!
After all, itâs nearly a 5.8 million to 6 million watch!
For most people, touching one in real life, let alone handling it, is rare.
Jiang Tao grinned at Old Du and asked, "You donât mind if I wear it for a photo, do you?"
Old Du laughed, "As long as you donât put it on and forget to take it off."
"Hahaha, of course not! Iâll definitely take it off; do I look like someone so cunning!"
Jiang Tao chuckled with a playful laugh, promptly swapping his Green Water Ghost with Old Duâs Vacheron Constantin.
He then pulled out his phone, switched to selfie mode, and clicked away several photos of himself and the watch on his wrist.
Once he finished, Jiang Tao carefully returned the watch to Old Du, stopping for a moment to take a look at him.
[Name]: Du Taoming
[Talent]: Business.
[Professional Direction]: Commerce (5 Stars) Real Estate (3 and a Half Stars.)
Seeing Du Taomingâs talent and professional direction using the [Bo Le] title, Jiang Taoâs confidence in this [Title] increased.
Indeed, when one works in a field that matches their talent, they often achieve good results.
Old Duâs net worth is in the billions. Even with the help of the [Intelligence System], Jiang Tao canât catch up to him in a short period.
The accumulation of assets is like rolling a snowball.
Jiang Taoâs snowball is still tiny; even rolling it hundreds or thousands of times doesnât earn as much as Old Duâs big snowball does in one roll.
Around 4 PM, after chatting in Du Enanâs hospital room, Jiang Taoâs family of three bid farewell to Du Enan and her father.
The father-in-lawâs train was expected to arrive around 5 PM.
Jiang Tao parked the car in the underground parking lot on the south square of the station, and the family joyfully headed to the exit to pick them up.
...
In a bullet train car speeding towards Beijing.
Xu Wencheng, Du Yongmei, and Xu Sha sat quietly chatting in the business class seat, more comfortable than airplane first class.
It wasnât the first time for any of them to Beijing, but it was their first time in business class.
Du Yongmei had been lamenting about her eldest daughterâs extravagant spending, yet her face was clearly filled with pride.
"Your sister and brother-in-law have finally made it; life is getting better."
"In the future, Sasha, you should find someone like your brother-in-law who can earn money, take care of the family, and cherish his wife."
Du Yongmeiâs attitude towards Jiang Tao had entirely flipped 180 degrees!
The change was so stark that even Xu Sha felt embarrassed for her.
Before, Du Yongmei always used Jiang Tao as an example of what not to be and warned Xu Sha to choose wisely.
Never to pick someone like her brother-in-law, who had the looks but couldnât earn money, making his wife and kids suffer.
Now it was completely the opposite!
Whenever talking about finding a partner, she suggested Xu Sha find someone just like her brother-in-law Jiang Tao!
Xu Wencheng mentioned alongside, "I heard from your sister that your brother-in-law has started his own company."
"Ask your brother-in-law if thereâs a job opportunity for you when you visit."
Without hesitation, Xu Sha replied to her father, "Iâd rather starve than work for relatives; Iâm not going there."
"You silly girl! Your sister and brother-in-law arenât just any relatives."
Du Yongmei added, "Youâre your sisterâs only sibling.
Now that their family has made it big, any help they provide is better than you struggling on your own getting hurt."
"Still not going. You and dad go instead; ask him to look after you two as his in-laws."
Xu Sha thought of her previously strained relationship with Jiang Tao; the idea of working for him was simply impossible!
