Daily Intelligence System: Financial Independence

As long as he had the ability, he was also willing to lend a hand to his former "brothers in hardship."

Now, whether it was Liu Zhiyuan, Shan Yufei, or Wang Lianming.

They all followed Jiang Tao now.

Their monthly salary had increased several times compared to before!

Wang Zhiyuan was in charge of the sales and promotion of Jiang’s Eight Treasure Pickles, with last month’s salary and commission totaling over 40,000.

Shan Yufei, on the other hand, was primarily responsible for the sales of Jiang’s Delicious Barbecue Sauce.

But due to issues with raw materials, the factory’s production capacity was severely lacking, making his salary over 10,000 less than Wang Zhiyuan’s.

However, once the agricultural base over in Xiaoshanhe began formal production and raw material supply was sufficient, his salary would equal Liu Zhiyuan’s.

Wang Lianming and He Fang were the last ones to join Jiang Tao, and they hadn’t received any salary yet.

But Jiang Tao had promised them a guaranteed salary of over 20,000 a month.

Once they were familiar with the business in the future, they could earn even more.

Jiang Tao was indeed generous with his close friends and family around him.

Everyone admired him in their hearts, even considering him their "spiritual belief."

"Brother Jiang, you are so good to me, apart from my parents, no one, no one has ever treated me so well."

He Jing’s eyes turned red, and tears streamed down her face again.

After saying just one sentence, she suddenly stepped forward and hugged Jiang Tao tightly, wrapping her arms around his waist.

As Jiang Tao’s constitution rapidly improved, his height also increased from the original 1.82m to the present 1.85m.

He Jing’s height was about 1.73m.

The two of them embracing each other appeared harmonious and well-matched.

"Ahem..."

Jia Guolin, standing nearby, hurriedly turned around and looked up at the sky, searching for a UFO.

Of course, this driver, being Jiang Tao’s sidekick, knew best about his boss’s affinity with women.

At home, there was such a beautiful boss lady, and in Century City, there was such a beautiful close female friend.

The girl before him, who was willingly throwing herself into the boss’s arms, was also an extraordinary beauty in terms of height and looks.

Sure enough, comparing oneself with others could be infuriating, the boss is the boss!

"Brother Jiang, let me hold you for a while, okay? Being by your side makes me feel so safe."

He Jing clung to Jiang Tao, voicing her thoughts in a voice almost only she could hear.

"I’ll give you 5 minutes."

Jiang Tao gently patted He Jing’s back, feeling the firmness of her skin beneath his palm.

From his elevated perspective, he could see the flowing, natural lines from He Jing’s shoulders to her waist, without any excess.

"Brother Jiang... I... I..."

He Jing suddenly looked up, gazing seriously and sincerely at Jiang Tao, but the words she wanted to say faltered on her lips.

He Jing, of course, knew Jiang Tao was married and had a very beautiful wife.

She had dined with Xu Li a few times.

Xu Li had always been enthusiastic and polite to her.

So, right now, He Jing’s heart was filled with inner turmoil.

She liked Jiang Tao, loved him passionately, and even felt that she would never like another man.

At the same time, she knew that doing so was immoral, interfering in someone else’s marriage.

But she couldn’t control her emotions.

Especially after the events of today.

He Jing’s emotions toward Jiang Tao erupted like a volcano, uncontrollable.

Her bold hug of Jiang Tao moments ago was a tentative step, trying to see if Jiang Tao would reject her.

Jiang Tao did not refuse, did not push her away.

This fact made the volcano in He Jing’s heart even more active.

Taking the first step in any situation is the hardest.

Once the first step is taken, the second becomes much easier.

"Brother Jiang, I like you, really, really, really like you..."

"I know this affection might be unnecessary for you, but it’s the only one for me."

"I swear, in this lifetime, I’ll only like you and never fall for another man."

"I don’t care that you’re married, and I don’t care if you have other women in the future. I want to be with you."

He Jing mustered all her courage to express what was in her heart.

Her tear-filled eyes stubbornly gazed at Jiang Tao, waiting for his response.

Or rather, awaiting his judgment on this affection of hers.

But even if she were sentenced to death, He Jing would not regret it.

[Ding! He Jing’s affection for you has reached 100 points. Congratulations on becoming intimate lovers.]

[Congratulations! You have received 1 million in cash and a Friendship Boat ×1!]

[An exclusive random-amount consumption fund will be unlocked once intimate lovers confirm their relationship!]

Shua!

While waiting for a response to her confession, the azure system interface suddenly popped up.

Seeing the new notifications above, Jiang Tao was surprised.

Generally, reaching 90 points of affection makes one a Close Friend, granting rewards.

For example, Du Enan and Jiang Yi’s affection for him slowly climbed from 70-80 to 90 points.

Yuan Mengqi was also a Close Friend above 90 points before eventually reaching 100 points.

A situation like He Jing’s, jumping directly from over 80 points to a full 100, was the first time.

"Upon confirming a romantic relationship, unlock a random-amount consumption fund..."

Jiang Tao’s eyes fell on the last piece of notification. He was no stranger to this so-called exclusive consumption fund.

After he confirmed a romantic relationship with Yuan Mengqi, they unlocked an exclusive consumption fund of over 180 million!

Although this money couldn’t be used for his personal, unrestricted spending and indulgence.

There were many ways to legitimately use this money.

For instance, when he gave 30% of Jiang’s Agricultural Company’s shares to Yuan Mengqi, he was able to use her exclusive consumption fund for investment.

This money, although labeled as Yuan Mengqi’s exclusive consumption fund, was actually managed by Jiang Tao.

Simply put, Jiang Tao was like a parent safekeeping a child’s New Year money.

How this money was spent was ultimately up to Jiang Tao.

After all, Yuan Mengqi wasn’t even aware of the fund’s existence.

Now, the system suggested that He Jing could also unlock an exclusive consumption fund.

Was Brother Tongzi blatantly hinting for him to be with He Jing!

Putting aside this exclusive consumption fund, focusing back on personal emotions.

Jiang Tao was naturally also fond of He Jing.

Young, pretty, with a good figure, good temperament, and nice personality.

Someone like He Jing would likely be considered a campus goddess by many male students.

Which man could resist such a beautiful girl’s pursuit?

"Brother Jiang..."

Seeing that Jiang Tao hadn’t explicitly rejected her, He Jing’s courage grew significantly.

She boldly tiptoed, tilting her chin, and moved her red lips towards Jiang Tao’s lips.

At the moment their lips touched, He Jing felt as if an electric current ran from her scalp to her feet.

It was as though all her strength was sapped away, and she leaned into Jiang Tao, feeling soft and weak.

Given how forward the girl already was and with Brother Tongzi’s encouragement on the side.

Ultimately, Jiang Tao followed his heart and made his choice, responding to He Jing.

"Mmm..."

Sensing Jiang Tao’s somewhat dominant response, He Jing felt surrounded by happiness, with joyful tears streaming once more.

Is this the taste of love?

Is this the feeling of happiness?

At this moment, He Jing felt she was the happiest woman in the world!

Even if she was just one of them, that was enough.

Once the veil between them was lifted, everything proceeded naturally.

He Jing didn’t go home.

She followed Jiang Tao back to his room at the Baiyulan Hotel, her face flushed with shyness.

After an entanglement, He Jing curled up like a kitten in Jiang Tao’s arms, falling asleep out of exhaustion.

Jiang Tao leaned against the bedhead, smoking a cigarette, his gaze shifting from the blood-stained sheet on the nearby sofa to He Jing’s tear-streaked face.

He felt a newfound tenderness for the girl.

Suddenly, the azure system interface appeared once more, displaying three new notifications!

[Congratulations on confirming a romantic relationship with He Jing!]

[Unlocking He Jing’s exclusive consumption fund...]

[Congratulations! You have received a 99,999,999 He Jing exclusive consumption fund!]

"Ten hundred thousand ten thousand hundred thousand million..."

"99.99 million? Uh, why is it just this much this time?"

With the previous 180 million from Yuan Mengqi setting the standard.

The sight of He Jing’s exclusive consumption fund just shy of 100 million left Jiang Tao with a much calmer mood.

Nonetheless, this sum was more than enough to support He Jing for a lifetime.

A life of luxury!
