Jiang Tao nodded, "Yes, and I want the largest unit, as soon as possible."
The Intelligence System limits purchases to 20 units, but there’s no limit on the square footage.
To maximize profits, Jiang Tao naturally chose the largest unit size.
Jiang Tao added one more thing:
"I have a lot of work to do with my company in Beijing, so I won’t stay long in Ping County."
"You shouldn’t have to wait long; there are many owners in Shun Ning Prefecture looking to offload their properties. It’s lucky they ran into soone like you who’s willing to spend."
"As long as the funds are ready, I can get you 200 units, never mind 20!"
Yuan ngqi looked at her old classmate with a complex expression, feeling even more conflicted inside.
Both of them erged as top students from small rural towns.
He’s driving a luxury car worth over two million, easily investing millions in real estate.
anwhile, she’s been dragged into poverty by her mother’s serious illness, becoming a person who juggles credit card debt every month.
The gap between people can be so wide!
After that, Jiang Tao and Yuan ngqi discussed so details regarding housing prices and financial transactions.
Upon learning that Jiang Tao had prepared over 10 million cash, intending to pay in full for the 20 units this ti.
Yuan ngqi was once again shocked by her old classmate’s financial prowess.
She initially thought Jiang Tao was planning to just put downpaynts on the 20 units and then take a mortgage from the bank.
To her surprise, Jiang Tao actually prepared the full paynt!
They chatted in the coffee shop until around noon.
Jiang Tao and Yuan ngqi had reached a preliminary agreent on cooperation.
In the afternoon, Yuan ngqi would return to her company to draft a detailed cooperation plan for Jiang Tao.
After both parties signed the formal contract, Jiang Tao would entrust the entire process of purchasing 20 properties in Shun Ning Prefecture to Yuan ngqi’s company.
He only had to pay the required purchase amount, transfer fees, service charges, and a certain percentage of service fees.
Simply put, he just needed to co up with the money while Yuan ngqi’s company handled everything else.
According to Brother Tongzi’s information, the Shun Ning Prefecture project had a return rate as high as 100%.
Taking out a portion of the profit, Jiang Tao didn’t feel a pinch from being idle.
Jiang Tao raised his wrist and glanced at his Green Water Ghost watch; it was already past 12:30 PM.
Jiang Tao looked up at Squad Leader Yuan, who had criticized him twice, and smiled:
"Let’s find a place to grab a simple al; it’s on . I still need my old classmate to put in more effort for this project."
Yuan ngqi looked at Jiang Tao and smiled:
"If it were another custor, I’d definitely have to treat them to a al.
After all, they’re giving such a significant order.
But since you’re treating, I won’t miss the chance to take advantage of a big spender!"
"Haha, then I’ll give you a chance to feast on the big spender, pick any place you like."
Old classmates eting after a long ti, Jiang Tao was in a good mood, and treating Yuan ngqi to a al was no burden.
"Let’s go to Qiao Claypot by our office, their claypot dishes are really good."
"I used to go there with colleagues every now and then for a little treat."
Yuan ngqi pointed with a smile at a small restaurant diagonally across from Starbucks.
"Alright~ wherever you say."
They agreed in a flash, crossed the street together, and arrived at the entrance of Qiao Claypot as Yuan ngqi suggested.
Stepping inside, Jiang Tao saw that the place was no more than 50 square ters, and the entrance imdiately led to the dining area.
The dining area had only eight simple four-person tables and chairs.
During the lunch peak, seven tables were already occupied by diners, with only the one nearest the door unoccupied.
"Let’s sit here; it’s more ventilated near the door~"
After entering, Yuan ngqi took off her little blazer and placed it on a nearby chair before gesturing for Jiang Tao to sit.
"I’ll follow Squad Leader Yuan’s arrangent."
Jiang Tao said this and naturally settled into the chair opposite Yuan ngqi.
He could enjoy dining in high-end hotels like the Baiyulan Hotel.
He could also savor als at roadside eateries like Qiao Claypot.
"Welco to Qiao Claypot, you two can order at your leisure."
Just as Jiang Tao and Yuan ngqi sat down, a waiter in a red uniform brought over a simple laminated nu and placed it on the table.
The waiter also graciously set a thermos with 50-degree warm boiled water on the table.
"Squad Leader Yuan, go ahead; order whatever you want."
Jiang Tao glanced at the nu and found most dishes were claypot types, the most expensive not exceeding 60 yuan.
With his current wealth, even if he declared that he was covering the al for everyone present, it wouldn’t cost much.
Although Yuan ngqi joked about "feasting on the big spender," choosing this place was a sign she didn’t want Jiang Tao to spend too much.
"Alright! Today I’ll bask in the light of my wealthy old classmate and improve my life a bit."
Yuan ngqi said with a smile, not being polite at all to Jiang Tao, and deftly ordered from the nu:
"One serving of spicy boiled pork slices, one Kung Pao chicken, so braised pork, and a serving of chicken stew."
"Jiang Tao, do you eat skewers?"
"I do."
"Okay, then let’s get 10 skewers."
"Would 10 skewers even fill your teeth? Make it 30. I rember when you were in school, Squad Leader Yuan, you could finish 20 skewers alone."
"Hey, hey, hey, are my teeth that gapped? That was then, this is now."
"When I was young, I could eat without gaining weight, but not anymore. Once you hit middle age, it’s easy to gain weight without noticing."
"Now I dare not eat too much. Let’s make it 20 skewers, 10 for you and 10 for ."
"That’s it for now; make it quick, thanks."
After efficiently placing the order, Yuan ngqi handed the nu back to the waiter.
"Alright, please wait a mont."
The waiter took the nu and headed to the kitchen to relay the order.
While waiting for the food, Jiang Tao rinsed his stainless-steel cup on the table.
Then he picked up the kettle and poured a cup of water for both himself and Yuan ngqi.
"Squad Leader Yuan, I heard from classmates that your mom is hospitalized? It sounds quite serious?"
At Jiang Tao’s words, the smile on Yuan ngqi’s face instantly disappeared.
"Sigh! Liver cancer, but fortunately it was caught early, in the early stages. If the surgery is successful, the survival rate is still high."
Talking about her mother’s illness, Yuan ngqi thought of the huge dical expenses required for surgery, and her mood instantly darkened.
Even the nearby diners, who could overhear Jiang Tao and Yuan ngqi’s conversation, lowered their voices out of sympathy for her plight.
Cancer is a heavy burden, like a mountain, for ordinary families.
"If it can be treated early, then do so. If there’s anything you need, just let know. We’re classmates; if I can help, I definitely will."
Jiang Tao looked directly into Yuan ngqi’s eyes, his tone soft and sincere.
Honestly, even if the special task [Friendship Forever] hadn’t been triggered...
If Yuan ngqi had co asking to borrow money, he might hesitate, but he would surely lend it.
28,000 is undoubtedly a huge sum for an ordinary family.
But to Jiang Tao now, it’s really not a big deal.
Ever since gaining the Daily Intelligence System a few months ago, he’d earned millions using various intelligence reports.
Two properties in Beijing, two luxury cars, plus over 17 million in cash.
And several special items generating a steady inco of 10,000 per day.
It wouldn’t take a year for him to achieve a small financial goal of his own.
Furthermore, he still has many good days and money-making opportunities ahead.
Shelling out 28,000 to help a friend is sothing he’s more than willing to do.
"Jiang Tao, you..."
Yuan ngqi, hearing Jiang Tao’s offer, felt her eyes well up as tears fell.
Her husband, upon learning of her mother’s cancer, first thought of leaving her.
Yet Jiang Tao, an unrelated classmate, upon hearing about her mother, offered help without hesitation.
The stark contrast hit Yuan ngqi hard internally.
Just like the lyrics from a song by her favorite band Mayday:
The thing I fear most is sudden silence, the thing I fear most is unexpected care from a friend.
