He sensed a quality from Jiang Tao called calm confidence.
Xu Jiantao, who runs a supermarket and encounters all kinds of people every day, has so expertise in judging people.
The quality Jiang Tao exudes, and his calm deanor, are similar to that of the wealthy bosses who frequently co to shop at Xu Jiantao’s store.
Isn’t Jiang Tao’s brother-in-law driving a truck in Beijing?
How suddenly...
At this mont, Xu Jiantao suddenly felt a bit unfamiliar with this brother-in-law he had known for more than six years.
Or rather, seeing Jiang Tao this ti refreshed his stereotypical impression of him.
Xu Jiantao joked with Jiang Tao with a hearty laughter:
"Looks like you’ve been doing quite well in Beijing these past two years, driving a rcedes Benz now."
"If my supermarket can’t hold up one day, I’ll co join you."
"Haha, brother, don’t make fun of . You earn hundreds of thousands a year with your supermarket; I’m just ssing around in Beijing, can’t compare with you."
"How can’t you compare? You’re much better than . You’re driving a luxury car worth millions, I must hitch a ride with you soti."
"Haha, no problem, no problem, anyti you want to experience it!"
The two brothers chatted casually while loading boxes of fireworks into the car’s trunk and then closed the trunk door.
After chatting a few more words with Xu Jiantao, Xu Li asked about their uncle and aunt’s recent situation before saying goodbye and leaving.
It was already past 7 PM by the ti the three of them got ho.
As night fell, the village was filled with the sound of firecrackers popping here and there.
Fireworks whizzed into the sky with a sizzling sound, turning the dark night into a colorful palette.
Jiang Tao had bought 3,000 yuan worth of fireworks this ti, intending for everyone to have a good ti.
Joy is better shared than kept to oneself.
He called his two nephews from his elder brother’s house to join in.
A large group of people cheered and set off fireworks, having an absolute blast.
The festive New Year atmosphere sprang to life instantly!
Whiz, whiz, whiz~
Pop, pop, pop~
Crackle, crackle, crackle~
In less than half an hour, the fireworks worth thousands were all set off.
In the end, only a pile of hardened paper shells, unwanted by even rag-and-bone n, remained.
If it were in the past, half of Jiang Tao’s monthly salary would have been spent, and he’d never have been able to bear it.
At the old ho, the tradition of staying up the entire night on New Year’s Eve still remains.
After setting off the fireworks, Jiang Tao didn’t wait for his elder brother Jiang He to get off from work.
Jiang Tao had to take his two nephews to visit uncles and elders in the village.
The news of him coming back with a rcedes was now known throughout the village.
This year, Jiang Tao beca the hot topic of the entire Jiang Family Manor.
No matter whose house he visited, talk naturally turned to the rcedes and praises for him.
It’s no exaggeration to say that the complints Jiang Tao received tonight surpassed those he had accumulated over the past thirty years by several tis.
Their praise, envy, and admiration made Jiang Tao feel a bit elated.
He had never before experienced this sense of affirmation and respect from others.
It was past eleven at night when Jiang Tao finally returned ho.
Xu Li and her daughter, plus Jiang Bing, who was sticking around like a stubborn toffee, still refused to leave Jiang Tao’s house.
The three of them sat on the living room sofa, snacking on nuts and watching the Spring Festival Gala, waiting to count down the New Year together.
As the clock struck midnight, Jiang Tao officially bid farewell to his thirtieth year, marking another year of growth.
After ringing in the New Year, Jiang Bing went ho, while Xu Lixian took Jiang Xue for a bath.
Jiang Tao half-reclined on the sofa and opened the Intelligence System interface.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Hopefully, luck will be in his favor, and he’ll uncover two high-value pieces of intelligence!
