Daily Intelligence System: Financial Independence-Chapter 183 - 129: A 500,000 Prepaid Card and Two Rolexes, Thank You for the Generous Gift!
Certainly, here is your translation:
The reason it was so fast is first, because Jiang Tao isn’t short on money right now.
He also wanted to buy Xu Li a few more outfits to make a splash and dress his wife up beautifully.
The moms of Jiang Xue’s kindergarten friends wear quite a bit of Chanel or LV, Prada.
Furthermore, Xu Li’s figure is even better than those dummy models in the store, so she looks great in anything she wears.
After buying for Xu Li, he hurried to the Dior children’s clothing store on the third floor and bought two dresses for Jiang Xue, spending over 40,000.
After purchasing clothes in a blitz, on the way to the dinner appointment at the Beijing Grand Hotel, Xu Li was still aching over spending so much money in one go.
Back in the day when Jiang Tao drove a truck, even working hard for a year without spending a cent, he would only earn about 130,000 or 140,000.
He had just spent an entire year’s salary in such a short time, how could Xu Li not feel the pain?
"Wife, you’ll have to change this mindset of yours going forward."
"Today is not like the old days, your husband is not a nobody anymore, you’ll enjoy a wonderful life in the future!"
While driving, Jiang Tao comforted Xu Li.
Xu Li of course knows that ever since Jiang Tao apprenticed under Master Sun, he learned many money-making skills, and indeed today is not like the past.
But just like Jiang Tao said, her spending habits were still stuck in the past and not able to change over quickly.
"Hubby, you’re so good to me, marrying you was the best decision I’ve ever made."
Xu Li extended her hand to grasp Jiang Tao’s right hand, which wasn’t on the wheel, placing it on her lap, her eyes filled with tenderness as she gazed at him.
"Ew, that’s so mushy~"
Jiang Xue, sitting in the child seat in the back munching on an Alps lollipop, smacked her lips, accidentally eating up the dog food thrown by her mom and dad.
Though time was a bit tight.
Jiang Tao still parked the car in the Beijing Grand Hotel’s underground parking lot by 7:50 pm.
Taking the elevator upstairs, Jiang Tao reported Du Enan’s name and room number.
The family of three was led by a waiter, wearing a fitted lady’s suit, to a private room upstairs.
"Jiang Tao, long time no see~"
As soon as Jiang Tao’s family of three entered, the pregnant Du Enan stood up enthusiastically to greet them, with a sincere smile on her face.
Although Du Enan had only met Jiang Tao twice when drawing lots for cars.
But Du Enan had a different feeling towards this saver of her child’s life.
Additionally, because of Jiang Tao’s reminder before the New Year, the company was able to stop losses in time, avoiding bigger losses.
Du Enan was even more grateful to Jiang Tao.
This time, she invited Jiang Tao’s family to dinner for two reasons.
One was to give them a warm welcome.
The second was to express her gratitude to Jiang Tao.
"Hello Du Enan, this is my wife Xu Li, and this is my daughter Jiang Xue."
"Lili, this is the general manager of Wanxianghui, Du Enan, whom I often talk to you about."
"Hello, President Du."
"Hi Aunt Du~"
"No need for formalities, just call me Du Enan or Enan."
While exchanging pleasantries, Jiang Tao noticed there was also a man with a very steady aura in the room, sitting in his seat with a smile looking at everyone.
"Jiang Tao, let me introduce you, this is my dad."
Upon being introduced, Du Taoming stood up from his seat with a smile.
"Jiang Tao, I’ve wanted to thank you face-to-face for a long time."
"But some matters delayed it; I’m pleased to meet your family."
Du Taoming’s face appeared very serious, his speaking tone carrying an air of long-time authority, with a commanding CEO demeanor.
"Hello President Du, I’ve heard so much about you."
"Hello President Du, thank you for tonight’s hospitality."
"Good evening, Grandpa~"
Jiang Tao’s family also greeted Du Taoming very courteously.
"Little one, what did you just call me?"
Du Taoming’s eyes lit up upon hearing Jiang Xue’s form of address, with the wrinkles on his face relaxing somewhat.
As he aged and entered the ranks of grandfathers, quite a few kids from his old friends’ homes called him Grandpa Du.
But being called "Grandpa," Jiang Xue was actually the first!
Grandpa Du and Grandpa, though there’s just a word difference.
To the ears of the person, it feels distinctly different!
"I just... called you Grandpa, did I call you wrong? Then, should I call you Uncle instead?"
Jiang Xue thought she might have called incorrectly, her little face showing a hint of nervousness.
"Hahahaha..."
Du Taoming burst into laughter upon hearing Jiang Xue’s words, the laughter resonating in the private room.
Du Enan looked at her dad with some surprise in her eyes.
Since her mother passed away, she hadn’t seen her dad laugh so heartily for over twenty years.
Jiang Tao’s family of three was also bewildered by Du Taoming’s boisterous laughter, thinking the old man might be... off.
It took a while for Du Taoming to stop laughing, and then he looked at Jiang Xue and said:
"Little girl, in the future, just call me Grandpa when we meet, Grandpa likes hearing it."
"And, calling me grandpa benefits you in this case."
As he spoke, Du Taoming reached into the inside pocket of his suit and took out a shiny golden card inscribed with "Wanxianghui Supreme Membership Card," handing it to Jiang Tao.
Seeing her father take out the card, Du Enan was surprised again; this card is the highest level membership card at Wanxianghui.
Such a membership card was typically reserved for important strategic partners.
Du Taoming looked at Jiang Tao and said:
