Chapter 725 - 346: No Comparison, No Harm
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Jiang Tao.
Some showed disdain, while others were curious about who he was calling.
He Jing’s gaze toward Jiang Tao was somewhat complicated.
Gratitude mixed with some vague feelings.
No matter if Jiang Tao could help her solve her family’s troubles,
she was grateful to this man who stood up to protect her when she was lost and helpless.
Beep beep beep—
The phone was picked up about ten seconds after dialing, and Bai Yulan’s familiar voice came through.
"Brother Xiao Jiang, you’ve been calling Sister much more frequently today than usual. Please keep it up in the future."
Bai Yulan’s cheerful tone carried a hint of joy; clearly, she didn’t mind Jiang Tao calling her multiple times today, instead she welcomed it.
Jiang Tao laughed heartily: "Sister Bai, I’m bothering you with something again, quite embarrassing."
"You rascal, what’s embarrassing between us?"
"Sister would love for you to bother her every day, tell me, what’s the issue this time."
Bai Yulan’s tone with Jiang Tao was like that of true siblings, without a hint of impatience or reluctance.
Bai Yulan initially regarded Jiang Tao as her lifesaver.
But as their acquaintance lasted and their interactions grew longer,
after Bai Yulan learned more about Jiang Tao, she developed a deep interest in him.
She liked running, and Jiang Tao’s ability in running was the best in Ping County, unquestionably number one.
Even on a national level, his skills were top-notch.
She also liked golfing, and Jiang Tao’s golf skills were witnessed by tens of thousands of netizens online.
His debut at the Huabin Golf Course amazed everyone!
Add to this Jiang Tao’s straightforward and generous nature, sunny and handsome appearance,
and his kindness toward Bai Yulan herself and her family.
All these factors combined, Bai Yulan was even closer to Jiang Tao than to her own brother.
"It’s like this, Sister Bai, I have a friend’s family who are into building materials, and they have about six million yuan of project payments stuck with Longcheng Real Estate."
"My friend’s family is currently experiencing some financial tightness. Sister Bai, can you speak on their behalf at Longcheng Real Estate?"
Jiang Tao didn’t beat around the bush with Bai Yulan and directly explained He Jing’s family situation.
"Sister Bai? Oh gosh, is the Sister Bai he’s talking about the President Bai of Baiyulan Hotel?"
"That can’t be? He’s just an online influencer; how could he be connected with such a high-profile figure like Sister Bai."
"What if, though? How many Sister Bai’s of note are there in Ping County!"
"Could really be Sister Bai."
"Even if it is Sister Bai, she might not necessarily grant him such a favor, several million in project payments is no small sum."
Cai Zihang and his friends, after overhearing the content of Jiang Tao’s conversation with Bai Yulan, murmured and whispered among themselves.
"I wondered what it was, just this?"
"Six million isn’t that much, I still have some clout with Zhou Di."
"Oh, Xiao Wu mentioned to me that Zhou Di happened to be dining at our place today, he probably hasn’t left yet."
"Wait up, little brother, I’ll make a call to Zhou Di and mention it."
On the other end, Bai Yulan, hearing what Jiang Tao asked her to help with, responded smoothly.
For He Jing and her parents, the matter concerning the survival of their company, was for Bai Yulan just a trivial task.
Unless you added another zero after the six million, perhaps it might bring a slight pressure to Bai Yulan.
"Then I’ll wait for Sister Bai’s good news."
After speaking, Jiang Tao hung up the phone, then met He Jing’s eyes and said:
"The problem should be manageable."
"Thank you, Brother Jiang; this is really too much trouble for you."
He Jing’s gaze toward Jiang Tao contained not only gratitude, but intense affection.
This kind of gaze, Jiang Tao was familiar with; he had seen it from Yuan Mengqi, almost identical.
Could He Jing also have fallen for her brother?
As his career grew larger, his charm value increased.
Jiang Tao gradually understood the trouble of being a man too outstanding.
"Hey uncle, was the Sister Bai you just spoke with the President Bai of Baiyulan Hotel?"
Right after He Jing spoke, a girl from Cai Zihang’s group with a tuft of green-dyed hair asked out of curiosity.
"Great listening skills, your English listening should score full marks."
Jiang Tao chuckled and gave the girl a thumbs up.
"It’s just knowing Sister Bai, like nobody else knows her."
"I also have Sister Bai’s number, just that I don’t usually disturb her with trivial matters."
Cai Zihang looked at Jiang Tao with disdain, but his tone was quite bitter.
He did indeed have Bai Yulan’s number, but it was picked from his father’s phone and unilaterally stored on his own.
Even if he called Bai Yulan, she didn’t really know who this little kid was.
Young people care about their image, he just wanted to save a bit of face in front of Jiang Tao.
Looking at this "internet celebrity" who spoiled his plans, Cai Zihang was inwardly resentful!
Though he wasn’t lacking in girls with good looks and figures around him.
Yet someone like He Jing who was not only beautiful, with a good figure, studied well, was of good family, and had a gentle demeanor,
he indeed couldn’t find even one around him.
With other girls, he only played and joked at best.
But with He Jing, he was genuinely serious and wanted to marry her!
