"Haha, you seem pretty confident in your massage skills."

Bai Yulan laughed until her whole body shook, and from Jiang Tao’s angle, it was somewhat arousing.

Jiang Tao quickly chanted in his heart "see no evil" and looked elsewhere, but his hands didn’t stop moving.

Of course, his massage technique could hardly be called professional; it was completely just for show, with no real sleep-inducing effect.

Everything he did was merely to cover for the [Deep Sleep Mode].

"Facts speak louder than words; Sister Bai, you’ll know how effective it is after a nap."

"Hmm..."

Bai Yulan merely hummed softly, stopped chit-chatting with Jiang Tao, and began to relax and enjoy the massage.

Three minutes later...

Bai Yulan’s breathing gradually became even, and she fell asleep.

[Deep Sleep Mode] has never disappointed in treating insomnia.

[Insomnia Terminator mission progress 1/3.]

Seeing the prompt float across his retina.

Jiang Tao smiled satisfactorily and concluded the massage session.

"Sweet dreams, Sister Bai~"

He said softly, stood up from the chair, turned, and walked toward the office door.

After leaving the room, Jiang Tao gently closed the door and hung a "Do Not Disturb: Resting" sign on it.

After doing all this, Jiang Tao took the dedicated elevator of the Baiyulan Hotel to go downstairs.

"Take care, President Jiang, I’ll see you off."

As Jiang Tao passed through the atrium, Wu Xiaolan saw him and eagerly stepped forward to bid him farewell.

"Manager Wu, are you free now?"

"It’s not busy right now; it usually gets busy around noon."

"The hotel’s business is pretty good, isn’t it?"

"It’s alright."

Jiang Tao didn’t refuse Wu Xiaolan’s offer to see him off, and they chatted aimlessly as they headed to the parking lot together.

"President Jiang, are you leaving!"

"Welcome back next time, President Jiang!"

In the parking lot, two security guards whom Jiang Tao bribed with a pack of cigarettes greeted him eagerly.

Hearing the crowd calling him President Jiang, Jiang Tao felt a bit secretly pleased, finding his emotional value greatly satisfied.

After bidding farewell to several people, Jiang Tao got into his car and drove away.

Ring ring ring—

He hadn’t driven 500 meters from the Baiyulan Hotel before the car’s phone rang.

The incoming call number displayed on the screen was "father-in-law."

"Hello, Dad."

While driving, Jiang Tao used the multifunction steering wheel to answer the call.

"Are you coming over now? Okay, I’ll pick you up downstairs from your place."

"Alright, see you later."

After hanging up his father-in-law Xu Wencheng’s call, Jiang Tao turned right at the upcoming intersection and headed towards his father-in-law’s neighborhood.

At 11 AM, the Mercedes G-Class drove into West City Hua Fu District and finally stopped downstairs from his father-in-law’s place.

"Look, look, Old Xu’s son-in-law has arrived, see that big Mercedes, it’s so impressive!"

"I remember during the New Year two years ago, his son-in-law visited on the third day driving a Jetta, and now, just a few years later, it’s a Mercedes."

"Ah, if it’s meant for you to strike it rich, it can happen in a year or two; if it’s not meant to be, you’ll stay poor your whole life!"

"Now who still says Old Du’s elder daughter married poorly? How many son-in-laws with big Mercedes do we have in our neighborhood!"

"No more than ten in total!"

"I heard Old Xu and Old Du went to Beijing to enjoy a good life with their elder daughter."

"I know about this, I have reliable information, it’s true, this time they came home for the festival and ancestor worship, they’ll leave again after it’s over."

"Oh! If only our son-in-law had his capabilities, we old couple could also bask in the glory!"

Once Jiang Tao got out of the car, he heard several old folks downstairs gathering in a shady spot, quietly chatting about something.

The crowd occasionally glanced in his direction.

"Jiang Tao, sorry for keeping you waiting."

Xu Wencheng hurried out from the unit door, apologizing upon seeing Jiang Tao already parked and waiting.

"I just arrived as well. Get in, Dad, you know the way, you can drive."

Jiang Tao smiled and gestured for his father-in-law to get in, and they both entered the car.

This time he sat in the passenger seat, allowing Xu Wencheng to drive.

Xu Wencheng didn’t hesitate, entering the car, shifting to D gear, and driving out of the neighborhood, heading towards his former workplace.

At 11:20 AM.

The Mercedes G-Class parked at the entrance of "Jinwei Welding Materials."

"Oh! Isn’t this Leader Xu! I wondered where you’ve been lately, where have you been making money?"

A security guard came out of the duty room, surprised to see Xu Wencheng sitting in the Mercedes G-Class, hailing him with amazement.

"Haha, this is my son-in-law’s car, Old Liu, open the gate, we have an appointment with Manager Zhu."

Xu Wencheng laughed and told Security Guard Old Liu to open the gate quickly.

Screech screech screech—

Upon hearing Xu Wencheng say he had an appointment with Manager Zhu, Old Liu readily granted passage.

"I heard Leader Xu is resigning, where are you moving up to?"

As he opened the gate, Old Liu chatted with Xu Wencheng, looking at him full of envy.

"Don’t pry into what doesn’t concern you; after I leave, who knows how you guys will gossip about me."

Obviously familiar with Old Liu, Xu Wencheng jokingly scolded and drove off.

"That Old Xu, he speaks more assertively than before, that big Mercedes is beautiful!"

Old Liu gazed at the receding Mercedes G-Class with envy.

Entering the factory area, Xu Wencheng skillfully drove the car in front of a three-story building freshly painted yellow.

They were lucky today; there was a free parking spot in front of the building.

After parking, the two got out of the car.

"Hey, isn’t it Old Xu! Are you here to handle your resignation today?"

"Why the sudden departure?"

"Without you at Jinwei, it’ll be dull."

Just as Jiang Tao and Xu Wencheng got out, a tall and fat middle-aged man holding a stack of documents walked by their car.

The man, seeing Xu Wencheng, smiled mockingly to greet him.

"Yes, I’m here for my resignation, Manager Wang, good morning."

Seeing the man, Xu Wencheng’s smile vanished, and his expression became a little stiff.

Obviously, his relationship with Manager Wang was unpleasant at work.

Jiang Tao observed their exchange and felt a sudden aversion towards the large man.

"Haha, Old Xu, what’s with the fuss at your age?"

"Stay here and earn some easy money."

"Without Jinwei, you’d have to be a watchman’s dog."

While speaking, Wang Xingguo reached to pat Xu Wencheng on the shoulder.

Clap!

Just as Wang Xingguo’s hand approached Xu Wencheng’s shoulder, a big hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.

"Who are you calling a dog?"

Jiang Tao glared at Wang Xingguo, unable to contain his anger anymore.

Wang Xingguo spoke to Xu Wencheng with an air of superiority, looking down at him with superiority and disdain.

Insulting his father-in-law before him was like a slap to Jiang Tao’s face.

"Who the hell are you! Why are you butting in on my conversation with Old Xu?"

With his wrist held by Jiang Tao, Wang Xingguo glared fiercely at him!

As he spoke, he tried to withdraw his wrist from Jiang Tao’s grasp but failed repeatedly.

"Let go of me!"

Enraged, Wang Xingguo tried to slap Jiang Tao with his left hand, throwing the stack of documents at his head.
