Getting up early and coming ho late, working hard for a month, you only make seven or eight thousand yuan.
In a tropolis like Beijing, that inco—straight up bottom tier.
If I had introduced you to Tian Jianhui and Xiao Jiang earlier, you wouldn’t have even looked at him!
In just a few months, Lü Qian witnessed with his own eyes how Jiang Tao went from an ordinary truck driver to a millionaire rolling around in a luxury ride.
"Xiao Jiang was never just a fish in a small pond, stuck at the bottom for twenty or thirty years."
"Now he finally t his turning point, and instantly beca a soaring dragon!"
Lü Qian’s no youngster, so seeing Jiang Tao get rich quick, it’s not really envy—more like satisfaction and genuine blessing.
The three brothers stood around chatting outside Brother Fatty’s Barbecue for another ten minutes or so.
When Jiang Tao’s designated driver arrived, the two old pals reluctantly walked him all the way to the village gate, watching him get into that rcedes G-Wagon.
Seeing Jiang Tao off, Lü Qian and Tian Jianhui said their goodbyes at the gate, each heading back to their own hos and their own moms.
Around 2:30 in the afternoon.
The rcedes G-Wagon pulled into an underground parking lot near the Pan Garden Antiques Market.
After giving the driver a five-star review, Jiang Tao also casually pulled out 200 yuan cash from his pocket as a tip.
This driver looked about the sa age as Jiang Tao.
Seeing him, Jiang Tao couldn’t help but think of his old self, and felt the struggle of those at the bottom of society.
Jiang Tao still isn’t in a position to save the world, but when he encounters soone or sothing that moves him—
Giving a small surprise is his way of doing a good deed for the day.
"Thank you, boss, thank you! My na’s He Yang, here’s my business card."
"If you ever need a ride again, just call ."
He Yang took Jiang Tao’s 200 yuan tip and the five-star review.
Then he thanked Jiang Tao earnestly, handing him a card with his number on it.
Jiang Tao nodded coolly and said, "No need to thank . Go do your thing."
"Okay boss, see ya!"
He Yang said his thanks and spun around to pick up his next gig.
Jiang Tao tossed He Yang’s business card into the armrest console before getting out.
He popped the trunk and pulled out so stuff he’d stashed at his old ho.
One item was the Auspicious Ingot he dredged up at Qisan Reservoir.
The system valued that thing at around 600,000 yuan at the ti.
And then there’s the Key USB Drive with bitcoin he picked up at the D State service station.
Jiang Tao doesn’t get the technical side, but with the system’s appraisal he wasn’t worried about getting ripped off.
Plus, he’d worked with Zhang Bo a bunch of tis already—they had trust built up.
Now Zhang Bo had even joined his company, signing on as a strear at Jiang Entertainnt Company.
Obviously, Zhang Bo wouldn’t try to scam his own boss.
When Jiang Tao arrived at Boya Auction House, he saw Zhang Bo in the middle of a livestream.
Every other word was "bros," "fam," talking super friendly.
"Brother Jiang! Finally, you’re back! Co on in, co on in! Missed you like crazy!"
"You must’ve brought back loads of cool stuff from your hotown again!"
"Guys, let introduce you: this is my Brother Jiang, also my boss!"
"When my boss makes a move, it’s always sothing priceless."
"Those watching today are in for a treat—gonna learn sothing new soon."
Zhang Bo spotted Jiang Tao at the door, called out with a big grin, and warmly invited him in.
He handled things smartly—his stream cara pointed only below Jiang Tao’s neck, no face reveal.
"Well, Zhang Bo, look at you! This many people in your stream nowadays."
Jiang Tao opened his own Kuaishou-TikTok livestream app, joined Zhang Bo’s room, and saw his account had over 30,000 followers.
There were more than 300 people online in the stream.
Even though it wasn’t peak hours, holding that number was pretty solid.
But to complete the special task [Helping Others, Achieving Yourself], there’s still a long way to go.
When Jiang Tao triggered that task, he had to help Zhang Bo’s account hit 500,000 followers.
He could get 6.66 million cash, plus 10 points each to Constitution, Charm Value, and Health Value.
And you couldn’t just buy the followers by throwing money at gifts.
Every follower had to be a real living person.
And they had to be genuinely attracted by Zhang Bo’s personal charm.
After Zhang Bo signed with his company, Jiang Tao told him to figure out streaming on his own.
Getting 30,000 fans in just over two weeks is actually pretty impressive.
Of course, compared to his sister-in-law Xu Sha, who gained over 200,000 in two weeks, there’s still so room to grow.
Since he was already here, Jiang Tao wasn’t stingy—he dropped a Carnival in Zhang Bo’s livestream.
"Thank you, Brother Jiang!!! Guys, can we just say my Brother Jiang is a big spender or what!"
Zhang Bo saw Jiang Tao’s Carnival pop up and shrieked so loudly, he almost made Jiang Tao jump.
This dude’s been turning into a real social butterfly ever since joining the streaming world.
Gotta admit, your surroundings and your job really do change you.
"Looking at soone else’s boss, shedding tears of envy!"
"Damn, boss, got any openings for lead strear? I wanna join too!"
"Man, look at that gap between people—and bosses! Why is it so huge!!"
"My boss just keeps fining us all day. Once I find a new job, I’m quitting ASAP!"
"Wait, that ID looks kinda familiar!"
"Ah! It’s Brother Jiang! The missing man returns!"
"Wow, it really is Brother Jiang! Never thought I’d run into my favorite running strear in a totally unrelated room!"
"What a legendary crossover! Brother Jiang, you’re so cool! Lead strear, show Brother Jiang’s face—I’ll send you gifts!"
"Strear, do us a solid, let us see Brother Jiang!"
"Who’s Brother Jiang?"
Soone recognized Jiang Tao’s ID in Zhang Bo’s livestream, and instantly all the comnts on the public screen went off track.
Even though Jiang Tao hadn’t stread lately, his championship win back in Ping County caused a stir in the running community.
His account picked up over 120,000 followers—small or not, he was still a minor internet celeb.
Running into his own fans in Zhang Bo’s livestream was a long shot, but yeah—coincidence happens.
"Brother Jiang, wanna show your face and say hi to everyone in the stream?"
Zhang Bo didn’t overstep, laughing as he got Jiang Tao’s OK.
"Of course."
Jiang Tao’s not that socially awkward—he agreed right away.
"See? Our Brother Jiang loves his fans this much!"
Zhang Bo grinned and shifted his stream phone to catch Jiang Tao’s face.
"Wow! Brother Bo’s boss is so handso! Must be amazing working for him!"
"Oh my god! Is this the legendary domineering CEO? Too hot, too stylish!"
"If my boss were even a tenth as good-looking, I wouldn’t daydream about quitting every day!"
"With a boss like that, I’d work for him my whole life!"
"Wait sis, you an you’d work for him in the professional sense, right?"
"Why does Brother Jiang look even hotter now? See! Exercise DOES make you good-looking, the internet wasn’t lying!"
"Starting today, I’m gonna start running—nobody stop !"
The stream regulars went wild when they saw Jiang Tao’s real face. Whether fans or newbies, everyone was pumped and amazed.
Lately, Jiang Tao’s completed a few special tasks, bumping up his Charm Value big ti.
His looks had really improved, super photogenic now.
Plus, with his Constitution going up, his build was getting more and more perfect.
Shoulders broader, waist slimr, back narrower, his deltoids showing on their own now.
Guy sleeps in every day, barely works out.
But he’s sporting a clean eight-pack on his abs.
Pecs and his bi’s and tri’s—those muscle shapes are dialed in.
All those changes are physical feedback from his rising Constitution.
Sky-high looks, plus a body even "model-er" than a model’s.
And that calm, understated, unflappable vibe he carried.
Soon as Jiang Tao showed up, he instantly stole Zhang Bo’s strear spotlight.
