Daily Intelligence System: Financial Independence-Chapter 161 - 123: Golden Toad Acquired!

On the slightly dim counter at the entrance, the Money-Attracting Toad glowed with a dark golden hue in his vision.

Confirmed, it’s that toad!

However, this kind of restaurant, which only serves lunch and dinner, doesn’t open in the morning.

Usually, it opens around nine or ten in the morning.

There’s nothing Jiang Tao can do in his hurry now, but wait for them to open and then try to get his hands on that Golden Toad.

Just as Jiang Tao was about to leave to buy breakfast, the door of Yu Xiang Renjia suddenly opened from the inside.

A young man with a few strands of bleached yellow hair, wearing ankle-baring pants even in this cold winter, yawned as he walked out.

He~tui!

After stepping out, Xiao Huang - the young bleach-haired man - spat a glob of phlegm into a small flowerbed in front of his house.

Then, he reached into his back pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes, took one out, and lit it, puffing clouds of smoke.

Jiang Tao still had an impression of this bleach-haired kid who walked out from the restaurant.

Last night when he was paying the bill after dinner, he heard the girl at the cashier call him Brother Amao.

Jiang Tao figured that this bleach-haired kid was either the owner of the restaurant or the owner’s son.

With his cocky and carefree demeanor, he definitely wasn’t a waiter or anything like that.

Jiang Tao watched the bleach-haired kid, contemplating for over ten seconds.

It was as if the bleach-haired kid sensed Jiang Tao looking at him, so he turned his head towards Jiang Tao, and their eyes met.

Jiang Tao took a deep breath, put on a smile, and walked towards the bleach-haired kid.

"Diao Mao, no, handsome guy, can I ask you something?"

Damn!

Jiang Tao realized his mistake after blurting out "Diao Mao," and quickly corrected himself.

While he was walking over, he had been frantically rehearsing his lines in his head, and in his nervousness, the term "Diao Mao" slipped out.

"What is it?"

Huang Mou looked at Jiang Tao with some irritation; he had clearly heard the term "Diao Mao" just now.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Jiang Tao was taller and seemed more formidable, he would’ve already been at him.

Jiang Tao’s appearance was rather memorable; after all, he had dined at his family’s restaurant last night.

Moreover, Jiang Tao’s looks are not ordinary; even though he’s now in the uncle category, he’s quite handsome and leaves a lasting impression.

Of course, the reason Huang Mou remembered him so well was mostly thanks to Xu Li.

Huang Mou frequently visited nightclubs and night venues, and had seen countless beautiful women.

But someone as beautiful as Xu Li, with such charm and figure, a rare stylish housewife indeed, is almost impossible to find.

Last night while Jiang Tao was settling the bill, the scene of Xu Li intimately holding his arm made Huang Mou envious for quite a while.

"Last night, when I came to your restaurant, I felt that the Golden Toad on your counter seemed quite spiritual."

"Handsome guy, is it convenient for you to tell me where you bought that Golden Toad? How much was it?"

"I also want to buy one to bring home for good luck."

Ancient poet Cao Zhi could make a poem in seven steps, and now Old Jiang could concoct a poor excuse in less than seven steps just to bluff his way through.

Huang Mou took a puff of his cigarette and said impatiently:

"That thing was bought by my parents; I don’t know where they got it from."

Jiang Tao coaxed: "I noticed you guys are thinking of transferring the restaurant? Are you not planning to run it anymore?"

Huang Mou said: "Something came up at home, so we aren’t planning to keep it going. If you have an interest in our place, we can discuss it further inside."

"Haha, brother, I’m just interested in that Golden Toad on your counter. Since you’re planning to transfer the restaurant, how about selling that Golden Toad to me?"

After some small talk with Huang Mou, Jiang Tao revealed his true objective focused on that Golden Toad.

"You want to buy that Golden Toad?"

When Huang Mou heard Jiang Tao’s words, his eyes lit up, thinking it’s not a bad idea.

After all, he didn’t plan to continue running this restaurant.

And as an outstanding young person of the new era, he didn’t believe in all those superstitious things.

If a Lucky Cat could really bring wealth, why isn’t every household placing one?

Place a hundred, a thousand, wouldn’t it mean you’d be busy with endless business?

It’s just self-deception; that thing is utterly useless!

"Yes, I have a good eye for that Golden Toad on your counter."

"I went home and searched online for a long time, but couldn’t find an identical one."

"So I thought I’d come over and ask where you bought it."

"If you, handsome, would be willing to part with it, I’m sure we can negotiate a price."

Jiang Tao smiled, even though he really wanted that Golden Toad with attributes that hadn’t been activated yet.

But the expression on his face was restrained, not showing any urgency.

Huang Mou’s little eyes shifted, and he said:

"That thing was bought by my parents; I don’t know the exact price."

"Bro, if you’re sincere about wanting it, you can go to the liquor store next door and buy me a pack of cigarettes; you can take the Golden Toad with you."

While speaking, Huang Mou pointed to the liquor store next door and named his price.

"Hahaha, brother, you’re so straightforward. If I were still hesitating, it would be my fault."

"Alright! A pack of cigarettes is a pack of cigarettes; I’ll get it for you."

"Because I seem to have a connection with that Golden Toad."

After saying this, Jiang Tao walked straight to the liquor store next to Yu Xiang Renjia that had already opened for business.

Stores like roadside liquor shops are truly examples of getting rich quietly.

You might pass by every day and see the owner leisurely leaning against the counter, browsing their phone.

You might think the place looks deserted and could go out of business at any time.

But in reality, the money they make in a day could be equivalent to your monthly salary.
