Daily Intelligence System: Financial Independence-Chapter 143 - 116: Intel Worth a Million!

"Oh no! I just remembered there’s something really important I haven’t finished at my shop! Mom, you guys chat, I’m heading back now, byebye!"

Jiang Bing was happily eavesdropping on the sidelines, then suddenly realized the topic had shifted to her. She wiped her mouth, sprinted away like a rabbit.

"Don’t go! Your Aunt Wang wants to introduce you to someone. See when you have time to meet up!"

"Huh? What did you say? I can’t heeeear you~~~"

In just a few seconds, Jiang Bing had already dashed out the front gate.

"That Third Child! She’s already 27 this year! People her age have had three kids already, what’s she doing? Does she want to be a spinster for life!"

Whenever Tian Xiaomei brought up her youngest daughter’s marriage, she got angry. She’d nagged about marriage over a hundred times these past years—no effect at all.

"Lili, Third Child listens to you and her second brother. She’s staying at your place now too, help Mom urge her a bit. She’s not young anymore—if she doesn’t get married and have kids soon, she’ll end up a geriatric mom."

"Okay, Mom, I’ll talk to her. Third Child has her own ideas, you don’t need to worry too much. With her conditions, we’re not worried she’ll never get married."

"..."

Jiang Tao and Xu Li kept their mom company, chatting until 9:30 p.m. Jiang Xue played outside with her two cousins until she was exhausted and sleepy. Only then did the family of three head home hand in hand.

"Mom and Dad, I had so much fun these days. If only every day could be like this~"

Xiao Jiang held her dad’s hand in her left, her mom’s in her right, her cheeks flushed as she dreamed of such a happy life.

Xu Li laughed and exposed her, "You just don’t want to go to school and you’re making excuses, admit it."

Jiang Xue replied in a sweet, kiddy voice, "No way, that’s not true! Dad said after school starts, he’ll send me to learn ballet. I can’t wait for school to start, okay~ I’ve been dreaming about dancing ballet at night lately—it’s so much fun!"

Xu Li rolled her eyes coquettishly at Old Jiang, "When did you two plan this? Why didn’t you tell me?"

"That’s a little secret between me and Dad. Oh no—Dad, I accidentally let our secret slip!"

Only then did Jiang Xue realize she’d spilled the beans, and quickly covered her mouth.

Little Cotton Padded Jacket looked apologetically at her dad, her little face so innocent—like she was saying, "I really didn’t mean to!"

"Didn’t our Xiao Xue always want to learn ballet? When we’re in Beijing, we’ll sign her up for a class and let her chase her little dancing dream."

Now Jiang Tao spoke with full confidence, grinning:

"It’s just a dance class. If she wants to try, let her. If she doesn’t like it, we’ll switch to something else. Kids should try more things to see what they truly enjoy."

"I bet she won’t like it for more than a week. Go on and spoil her,"

Xu Li shook her head, smiling. No one in the world knows her daughter better.

Afraid her dad would change his mind, Xiao Jiang Xue hurriedly raised her hand to swear:

"No way! I’ll always love it, I promise~"

The family of three chatted and laughed, soon reaching home.

There’s not much entertainment in the countryside.

Back home, they watched TV in the living room for a bit, then Xu Li took Jiang Xue to shower first.

Jiang Tao sat on the couch in the living room, sneaking a scroll through today’s Moments. You never know what kind of intel might pop up.

"Huh? A 60,000 yuan reward? That thing’s worth four or five thousand at most."

Seeing a lost dog post that Tian Jianming just shared on WeChat, Jiang Tao shook his head, smiling.

He really didn’t get how rich people thought sometimes.

He barely glanced at it and kept scrolling—checking out Zhang Bo’s latest antique posts.

The Yuan Shikai coins Zhang Bo had recently bought from him were now up on his Moments.

And, judging by the comments, they were selling well—he’d shifted dozens in just a few days.

Then there was a post from his sister-in-law, celebrating Wang Xiaohong’s birthday. Who knows if she did it on purpose or not.

In one of the photos, Jiang Tao saw his eldest nephew and Wang Xiaohong sharing a kiss over a birthday cake—mouth to mouth.

"Young people these days really move fast."

Jiang Tao wasn’t for or against Jiang Shijie and Wang Xiaohong being together—he planned to keep his mouth shut.

The two of them are mutually willing—it’s not his place as an elder to have an opinion. Just send his blessings and that’s it.

Plus, his nephew and Wang Xiaohong were a good match, and she was even supposed to be lucky for her husband.

So Jiang Tao had even less reason to object.

The only thing he worried about was: one’s in high school, one’s in college—don’t accidentally end up with a baby.

After about ten minutes, just as Jiang Tao finished scrolling, Xu Li and Jiang Xue had also finished showering.

The two beauties—one big, one small—wrapped in pink and purple towels: one sexy, one cute.

As Old Jiang was admiring his two beauties, a figure whooshed past him.

Soon, he heard the bathroom door slam and the Third Child’s cheerful humming.

And there it goes—sneaked in by Third Child again, that little rascal.

Xu Li took Jiang Xue to blow-dry her hair, and Jiang Tao was the last to shower, finishing after 11 p.m.

The couple cuddled up and whispered for a bit, then Xu Li fell asleep first.

Jiang Tao stayed up until midnight, waiting for new intel to refresh in case he missed any good opportunities.

[Today’s Intel 01]:

You met with your uncle Tian Xiaoguang yesterday and received the following intel— 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Tian Xiaoguang’s best marriage match [Tian Mingrong] is currently in Ping County town.

Their compatibility is 94%—that’s a very good match.

This intel has triggered the special mission [Continue the Family Line]!

[Continue the Family Line]: Once Tian Xiaoguang fathers a child for the Tian family, the host will get a 999,999 yuan cash reward!

...

"Uncle’s perfect match? 990,000 yuan cash reward!"

Seeing the first intel refreshed today,

Jiang Tao, who’d been feeling sleepy, was instantly wide awake—not an ounce of sleepiness left!

Just 1 yuan short of a million!

This is a million-yuan tip, again!

And...

Introducing a partner to Uncle, helping keep the Tian family line going.

Even without the system reward, this meant a lot to Jiang Tao personally.

Just last night, Mom was sighing gloomily about Uncle’s situation.

Now, there was a chance to solve Uncle’s marriage problem and pocket a huge cash reward. Talk about killing two birds with one stone!

With the Beijing success stories of Old Lü & Ma Dongmei, and Wang Xiaohong & his nephew, both high-compatibility matches—

Jiang Tao felt Uncle would mesh well with this Tian Mingrong too.

And as luck would have it, they both had the surname Tian.
