Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Both Pieces of Intel Are Linked to the Lottery!

Ring ring ring—

The phone suddenly rang; it was a video call from Xu Li.

Today was the birthday of one of Xu Li’s close friends, and the three women had stuffed themselves and then went to the karaoke bar to sing all night.

Xu Li had informed Jiang Tao in advance and sent quite a few pictures of them eating and singing.

Both of Xu Li’s close friends were well-known to Jiang Tao.

One was an unmarried older single woman, the other divorced and single.

An all-women gathering, coming home a bit late, Jiang Tao didn’t need to worry about any trouble.

Jiang Tao put down the empty wine glass in his hand and swiped a finger to accept the video call.

The screen flashed, and Xu Li appeared on the screen wearing a light blue silk nightgown.

The smooth fabric of the nightgown shimmered slightly under the soft light.

Her long hair was casually tied into a loose bun, with a few strands falling on her shoulders, adding a touch of casual elegance.

Most of her fair shoulders were exposed as Xu Li once again played the role of the "temptation to return home."

Today’s outfit was even more alluring than yesterday’s.

"Honey, does this nightgown look good?"

Xu Li said while placing the phone on the nightstand to capture her whole body.

She even spun around on the floor, showing off a 360-degree view.

"Yao Jing, eat my Old Jiang’s stick!"

"No way."

"By the way, honey, did you ask Shan Yufei yet? You know Sun Na, she’s great; I think they could give it a shot."

After showing off her outfit, Xu Li cuddled up with the phone on the bed, jabbering away.

After discussing setting up her friend, they chatted about what they ate and drank.

Who they ran into while shopping, and what happened while singing.

The couple chatted via video call for over two hours before hanging up.

After ending the call, Jiang Tao checked the time on his phone.

Without realizing it, it was already 11:41 PM.

In less than 20 minutes, tomorrow’s intelligence system would refresh. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Jiang Tao naturally wasn’t sleepy, lit a cigarette, and waited for the update.

...

Meanwhile.

In a small one-bedroom apartment in Ping County.

A woman in a fluffy sleepwear with a messy hair bun was sitting in front of her computer, pulling her hair.

"I’m going insane!"

"A whole day, and sales are at zero!"

"What’s wrong with Second Brother’s taste!"

"What to do, what to do! That’s over 60,000 yuan! The manufacturer probably won’t take returns!"

"Why did I answer his call, why did I help the wrongdoer~~"

At this moment, Jiang Bing deeply regretted helping her second brother find the original manufacturer.

She regretted even more assisting him in placing an order for 10,000 Ultraman hairpins!

After buying the hairpins for her second brother, Jiang Bing listed them on her store as instructed.

As a result, a day passed, and the sales of the Ultraman hairpins remained at zero!

Just thinking about the 10,000 hairpins she had on hand made Jiang Bing feel overwhelmed!

How could someone cause such a huge mess!

Jiang Bing no longer even cared about the big red envelope her second brother promised. She just hoped he and her second sister-in-law wouldn’t fight over the New Year.

The time on the bottom right corner of the computer hit midnight.

Jiang Bing was about to get up to brush her teeth and sleep when a notification suddenly dinged from the store manager, popping up with a message.

"Huh? Two orders just got placed!"

Seeing the store manager’s message indicating someone ordered the Ultraman hairpins, Jiang Bing’s eyes lit up.

She quickly grabbed the mouse and opened her seller dashboard.

The Ultraman hairpins Jiang Tao stocked came in two styles, blue and pink, each priced at 19.8 yuan.

Just now, a customer ordered one of each, totaling 39.6 yuan!

Ding dong!

While reviewing the first order, another new one popped up.

"Another Ultraman hairpin?"

Seeing the seller dashboard’s repeated alerts for Ultraman hairpins made Jiang Bing slightly frown.

"Could it be Second Brother trying to inflate sales since his hairpins weren’t selling?"

Ding dong!

As Jiang Bing the "Sherlock Holmes" was deducing the truth, another order notification popped up.

Unsurprisingly, it was another Ultraman hairpin order!

Ding dong!

Ding dong!

Ding dong!

Seeing the orders continually popping up, Jiang Bing realized the situation wasn’t how she thought.

Opening the dashboard, she checked the order statistics.

In just one minute, more than a dozen people ordered the Ultraman hairpins.

The total sales were 51 items, amounting to 1009.8 yuan!

In her six years of running the store, this was her quickest sale to surpass a thousand yuan!

In less than a minute, to be precise, 53 seconds, the store’s revenue broke a thousand!

"What’s happening, how did it suddenly explode in sales!"

Just minutes ago, Jiang Bing was worried about the Ultraman hairpins’ sales.

And then, a few minutes later, sales started exploding!

Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong—

Listening to the constant ding-dong sound from the seller dashboard.

Jiang Bing was instantly as thrilled as if she’d taken a stimulant, all sleepiness gone!

Over her six-year store history, she’d never witnessed such a scene!

"Forget sleep!

"Tonight, I’m witnessing history!"

...

In Beijing, in the Xiaoshanhe Urban Village, in Jiang Tao’s rental room.

At midnight, Jiang Tao also turned off his phone to open the intelligence system’s panel and clicked refresh.

[Today’s Intelligence 01]: Yesterday, while stopping by the lottery shop in Xiaoshanhe Village, relevant intelligence was gathered—

Among the scratch cards currently sold in the shop, one can yield a 20,000 yuan prize!

[Today’s Intelligence 02]: Yesterday, when you and Xu Li talked about the prize Sun Na won at her company’s annual meeting, relevant intelligence was gathered—

The 10 yuan lottery ticket Sun Na won will yield a 3,000 yuan prize tomorrow!

[Note]: The winning ticket of Sun Na can be replicated by the host up to 10 times.

Exceeding this limit will cause the winning number to change due to irresistible forces.

...

"One is a scratch card, the other a lottery ticket; both pieces of today’s intelligence are related to lottery tickets!"

Seeing the two latest pieces of intelligence refreshed today, Jiang Tao’s eyes lit up!

Last night, when Xu Li chatted with Jiang Tao, she mentioned that Sun Na had a bit of bad luck this year.

During her company’s annual meeting, Sun Na only won a consolation prize worth 10 yuan, including five lottery tickets.

Who would’ve thought that consolation prize turned out to be a winner, and not just that—a third prize!

Good thing it was only a third prize.

If it had been a first prize, Sun Na’s company might have sued her for it.

"Sadly, it can only be replicated ten times."

"If there were no limit on replicating, just this piece of intelligence would be enough for financial freedom!"

"Tomorrow, I’ll have Xu Li ask Sun Na for the lottery number and play it ten times. It’s like free money."

"The scratch card at the lottery shop..."

"I’ll need to scratch it early tomorrow morning, or I might get scooped if I go late."

"Looks like I’ll need to take another day off tomorrow! But it’ll be worth it!"

Having analyzed the two pieces of intelligence, Jiang Tao had plans in mind.

Lights off, time for bed!
