Daily Intelligence System: Financial Independence-Chapter 148 - 118: Bounty in Hand!

This task can also train their ability to handle things.

With good training, these two kids might become my capable little helpers in the future.

"Alright! Second Uncle, just watch us! This kind of little thing is a piece of cake!"

"Second Uncle, don’t worry! We guarantee to complete the task!"

The two brothers beamed with joy at the thought of a big red envelope after completing the task!

Last time, for digging a pit for their second uncle, each of them got a 1000 yuan reward.

This time, they aren’t even asking for 1000, 200 or 300 would satisfy them.

Even if there’s nothing, 100 would do, and doing it for nothing isn’t out of the question!

Jiang Tao finally gave his eldest nephew a piece of advice:

"Pay more attention, don’t get fooled, no rabbit, no hawk, understand?"

Jiang Shijie nodded: "Understood! If there’s no money, we definitely won’t give him the dog!"

"Go ahead, I wish you swift success."

Jiang Tao patted his nephew’s shoulder and encouraged him with a smile.

Since the other party issued a reward and he brought along his two nephews who put in the effort, taking the money doesn’t trouble his conscience.

The story of Zigong redeeming a person and Zilu receiving an ox reminds people not to be shy about taking the benefits after doing good deeds.

In this day and age, being a live Lei Feng is not trendy.

"Second Uncle, wait for our good news!"

The two brothers finished speaking, held the dog, each got on a bicycle, and went out.

After watching them leave, Jiang Tao also took Little Cotton Padded Jacket home.

...

Jiang Shijie and Jiang Shaojie, each on a bicycle, stuck their butts out and pedaled hard after going out.

The chains and gears rubbed rapidly and violently, making a buzzing sound.

The little Bichon in Jiang Shaojie’s bike basket looked around, very curious about the unfamiliar world outside.

It usually takes 15 minutes to ride to Zhongshan Square in Ping County.

But today they reached it in less than 10 minutes.

After getting off the bikes, Jiang Shaojie pulled out the pants wedged into his butt crack and looked at his big brother.

"Brother, what’s the next step?"

"You go hide with the dog somewhere first, and follow my signal later."

On the way here, Jiang Shijie had already started rehearsing the action plan in his mind.

Now he appeared very calm and composed.

"Oh, oh! Then... I’ll go over there!"

Jiang Shaojie pointed to a small alley at the northwest corner of the square and was ready to ride over.

"Don’t go there, head near the bus station!"

Jiang Shijie quickly stopped his brother from going there, seeing the conspicuous "Foot Massage" sign hanging at the mouth of the alley.

That place wasn’t suitable for children; he didn’t want to open a new world for his brother.

"Oh, okay! I’ll wait for your call~"

Not questioning why after hearing his brother’s words, Jiang Shaojie directly rode his bike, taking the little dog, and headed to the long-distance bus station in Ping County.

Watching his brother ride off into the distance, Jiang Shijie dialed the number from the lost dog notice that his second uncle forwarded to him.

Beep beep beep——

While waiting for the call to connect, Jiang Shijie took a few deep breaths, adjusting his breathing.

This was his first meaningful encounter dealing with an adult.

To add to that, this transaction involved quite a large amount.

60,000 yuan, approximately a year’s salary for their dad!

It required cautious handling.

Beep beep beep——

The call connected after a few rings, and a man’s voice came through.

"Hello Mr. Tian, my brother and I found the dog from your notice."

"Yes, it’s right here with us, alive and healthy."

"We’re not going to come to you, please personally come over here!"

"We’re waiting for you at Zhongshan Square."

"By the way, cash would be best, if not, WeChat is okay."

"Alright, I’ll be waiting for you here!"

After hanging up the call, Jiang Shijie took a long breath, feeling an inexplicable sense.

It felt like he just took a very important step in his life.

Less than five minutes after hanging up, Jiang Shijie’s phone rang again, showing "Dog Owner" on the screen.

Connecting the call, it turned out Tian Jianming had arrived at Zhongshan Square, and they found each other over the phone.

"Are you still a student? Did you find my dog? Where’s the dog?"

Tian Jianming was quite surprised to see the young man in front of him.

He had imagined a young voice on the phone, but didn’t expect the person to be even younger.

This must still be a student from some school!

"Mr. Tian, let me confirm with you first, does your reward still stand?"

Jiang Shijie looked very cautious, fully practicing what his second uncle said, "no rabbit, no hawk."

"It stands, of course it stands. I put up the reward, didn’t I? It’s not like I can’t give you this bit of money."

"Where’s the dog? Let me see if it’s mine first."

"You’re the fourth to call me saying they found my dog, the first three were all trying to scam the reward."

"Young man, if that’s your intention too, I advise you to give up early, so we don’t waste each other’s time."

Tian Jianming’s tone had a warning edge toward Jiang Shijie.

He’s been driven to distraction by the lost dog situation over the past few days, leaving him short on patience.

Facing the assertive Tian Jianming, it’s false to say Jiang Shijie wasn’t nervous, yet he didn’t lose his calm.

"I can show you the dog first."

"I’m not trying to deceive you, and I hope you will be honest too."

As he spoke, Jiang Shijie found his brother Jiang Shaojie’s number on his phone and dialed it.

The call quickly connected, and the screen flashed, showing Jiang Shaojie with half his face covered by the collar of his thermal shirt, and the little dog.

"..."

Seeing his brother’s appearance, Jiang Shijie was speechless inside.
