And this reward...
"This reward is quite generous!"
After reading the reward section of the task, Jiang Tao could barely contain his laughter!
Recovering assets of equal value?
In other words, whatever he helps Yuan Mengqi recover, he can get the same amount?
After taxes, 8 million, at least he could recover 4 million!
Moreover, since Liu Gang deliberately hid assets, legally, this is considered illegal appropriation.
If the court rules on it, they usually lean towards awarding more to the deceived party, in this case, Yuan Mengqi!
This time, if it goes publicly, Jiang Tao estimates that Yuan Mengqi will get at least 4.5 million!
In other words, if Jiang Tao helps Yuan Mengqi recover 4.5 million, he can also receive 4.5 million!
4.5 million!
Even for Jiang Tao now, thatâs no small amount!
The rewards for Constitution and Charm Value in the task are pretty standard and not too impressive.
But the final reward of +3 storage slots is also a huge surprise for Jiang Tao!
He spent 1.1 million just to unlock two storage slots, and unlocking the third slot requires 10 million!
Spending 10 million for a storage slot is something Jiang Tao, whose assets are still in the tens of millions, is unwilling to do.
With that money, he might as well upgrade the system again.
Refreshing one more system dailyâisnât that more tempting?
Of course, spending 10 million to upgrade the system to get one more piece of intel daily is also something Jiang Tao is reluctant to do.
System upgrades can only increase the number of intel, not the quality.
On a bad luck day, he might end up with four pieces of junk intel.
So, for now, having three pieces of intel a day is enough for Jiang Tao.
He doesnât have a huge demand for intel volume right now.
He plans to consider spending 10 million to upgrade the system and increase the intel volume only when he hits a small target.
After completing this task "Justiceâs Approval," the direct reward of 3 urgently needed storage slots is more valuable to him than 4.5 million in cash!
So...
Jiang Tao doesnât mind riling up Yuan Mengqiâs ex-husband, Liu Gang!
"Squad Leader Yuan, I say, letâs not waste time with that bastard ex of yours, letâs just go all out!"
"You know, Iâve got some connections in Ping County with Sister Bai."
Seeing Yuan Mengqiâs conflicted look, Jiang Tao directly gave his opinion.
Whether considering it from Yuan Mengqiâs perspective or his own interests, they must fight for as much benefit for her as possible!
The more she gets, the more he gets. Itâs a win-win!
"Then... okay, Iâll leave it to you, Jiang Tao. Once itâs done, Iâll properly thank you."
Yuan Mengqi was moved by her old classmate standing up for her and fighting for her benefits, her eyes reddening slightly.
"How do you want to thank me?"
Jiang Tao raised an eyebrow at Yuan Mengqi with a playful look.
"Well, since Iâm divorced now, is it okay if I offer myself?"
After saying that, Yuan Mengqi covered her mouth and laughed.
Yet as she laughed, she suddenly felt a pang of sadness, thinking that it would be great if Jiang Tao was also divorced now.
If that were the case, she would undoubtedly pursue him without hesitation.
"Haha, Squad Leader Yuan, thatâs such a harsh way to thank someone. Itâs like youâre getting back at me."
Jiang Tao didnât take Yuan Mengqiâs words seriously and joked back.
"What, am I not good enough for you?"
Yuan Mengqi puffed up her chest with a defiant look, as if to say, "Whatâs wrong with me?"
"Hahaha, youâre good enough, youâre good enough. Squad Leader Yuan is elegant and perfect. Itâs just that a common person like me doesnât deserve Squad Leader Yuan."
Thinking of the generous reward from "Justiceâs Judgment," Jiang Tao was in an exceptionally bright and happy mood!
After chatting for a while, Jiang Tao made a call to Bai Yulan.
On the call, Jiang Tao detailed to Bai Yulan about Yuan Mengqiâs divorce with her ex-husband and their current situation,
and the whole matter about the 8 million.
Bai Yulan, being a person full of compassion and a sense of justice,
after hearing Jiang Tao out, said she would definitely help and keep a close eye on the matter.
The phone call lasted more than an hour before they hung up.
"Alright, Squad Leader Yuan, Sister Bai has spoken. This matter is basically settled, so just wait to collect the money."
After hanging up the call with Bai Yulan, Jiang Tao looked at Yuan Mengqi, genuinely happy for his old classmate.
With more than 4 million, not only can they pay off their family debts,
but the financial crisis that Yuan Mengqiâs family is facing will also be greatly eased.
"Oh no..."
"If Squad Leader Yuanâs family no longer needs money, how am I going to recruit her brother?"
Jiang Tao suddenly thought of this issue, which slightly furrowed his brows.
"Whatâs wrong, Jiang Tao? Is there any problem?"
Seeing Jiang Tao frown, Yuan Mengqi thought it was related to her issues, so she asked with concern.
"Oh, no, everything is going smoothly. I was just thinking about something else."
Returning to his senses, Jiang Tao looked at Yuan Mengqi and smiled as he explained.
Yuan Mengqi curiously asked, "Something else? What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Tao asked, "Arenât you curious about what I want to talk about with your brother?"
"Actually, I am a bit curious about what you want to discuss with Mengjie?"
Yuan Mengqi looked at Jiang Tao curiously, honestly admitting her curiosity and how hard she found it to restrain herself from asking.
Jiang Tao openly laughed, "I want to open a claypot restaurant in Beijing and want your brother to join me."
"Join your restaurant?"
Yuan Mengqi was indeed a bit surprised after hearing Jiang Taoâs words.
She knew that her brother had long planned to resign from Qiao Claypot to start his own thing.
But he never found the right opportunity.
Recently, due to a car accident plus their motherâs severe illness,
their familyâs savings were depleted all of a sudden, and they carried tens of thousands in external debt.
In such dire straits, having a stable income is naturally a more secure choice.
Investing in entrepreneurship doesnât quite match Yuan Mengjieâs current situation.
Besides, he doesnât have the courage to burn his boats and take risks.
So, he is still working as a chef at Qiao Claypot.
In addition to taking care of his mother, he still takes time to work at the restaurant daily.
After all, although theyâve gathered enough for the surgery and medical fees,
the later rehabilitation also requires quite a bit of money.
Qiao Claypot is his only source of income.
"Yes, when I return to Beijing, I plan to open a claypot-style restaurant, like Qiao Claypot, focusing on claypot dishes."
"If the business does well, I will continue to open a second, third, and even fourth branch."
"Eventually, I plan to open my claypot restaurants all over the 16 districts of Beijing."
"At least five restaurants in each district."
As they talked about the claypot restaurant, Jiang Tao enthusiastically shared his plan with Yuan Mengqi.
Although the first restaurant hasnât even started, he has absolute confidence in the restaurant heâs about to open.
With the backing of "Delicious Claypot," making money for him is easier than drinking water!
Moreover, the claypot restaurantâs profit can be multiplied using "Monopoly Dice."
This undoubtedly adds another layer of guarantee to Jiang Taoâs entrepreneurial path.
Even if he adopts a strategy of low profit and high sales,
using "Monopoly Dice" for doubling still yields substantial additional profits.
Of course, Jiang Tao doesnât plan to employ the typical strategy of low profit and high sales.
The powerful attribute of "Delicious Claypot" allows him to pursue a high-end route.
The Qiao Claypot they had for lunch was too low in terms of spending level.
With an average spending of less than twenty, people can eat all they want, focusing on value for money.
In Beijing, where every inch of land is extremely valuable, following the strategy of Ping Countyâs claypot shop means losing money, not earning it!
Jiang Tao believes this is adapting to local conditions!
Watching Jiang Tao passionately talk about his business plans, Yuan Mengqi couldnât help but look a bit mesmerized.
Men are so handsome when theyâre serious!
