Chapter 522: Chapter 246: Mission Complete, Reward Received!

At Yicheng Real Estate, he’s the boss, but in front of Bai Yulan, he’s the lowliest of the low, as humble as one can be.

"Squad Leader Yuan? Haha, what a coincidence, I was planning to visit you this afternoon, didn’t expect to run into you here early in the morning."

Jiang Tao looked up and saw Yuan Mengqi following Chai Zijie in the door, feeling a bit surprised, he stood up with a grin to greet her.

"Yes, yes, I didn’t expect to meet you here either."

Yuan Mengqi also smiled and greeted Jiang Tao.

For this old classmate whom she hadn’t seen for a long time but helped her a lot upon meeting, besides gratitude, there was also some flutter from the reunion after a long time.

"You two know each other?"

Bai Yulan’s gaze swept across Jiang Tao and Yuan Mengqi’s faces, curiously inquiring.

"We are high school classmates."

Jiang Tao didn’t hide the fact about his relationship with Yuan Mengqi, there was no need to anyway.

"I see, what a coincidence you two meet here at my place, working with acquaintances is more reliable."

Bai Yulan smiled, not caring much about the relationship between Jiang Tao and Yuan Mengqi.

On the other hand, Chai Zijie, listening to the conversation between Yuan Mengqi and Jiang Tao, and observing Bai Yulan’s attitude towards her, suddenly had many thoughts rushing through his mind.

Yuan Mengqi’s old classmate, the wealthy guy planning to buy 20 properties in Shun Ning Prefecture at his agency?

Moreover, it seems this rich guy’s relationship with Sister Bai is quite good too.

Indeed, those who can mingle in Sister Bai’s circle are never ordinary people.

"Manager Chai, this is my mom’s property at West City Mansion, I’m now gifting it unconditionally to Jiang Tao, please handle the paperwork."

"I’ll cover all the fees."

Bai Yulan didn’t waste words with Chai Zijie, after greeting, she immediately assigned the task to him.

"Alright, President Bai, don’t worry, we’ll handle it efficiently and expedite the process, everything will be done within 2 days."

Having received Bai Yulan’s "instructions", Chai Zijie didn’t hesitate, agreeing directly and proposing a specific timeline.

Then, Jiang Tao and Bai Yulan signed several contracts, along with several agency contracts with Yicheng Real Estate Agency.

It took more than an hour for everything to be completed.

Bai Yulan concluded with a word of advice:

"Little Chai, expedite this, don’t let it drag on."

"Sure, Sister Bai, we’ll act swiftly!"

Chai Zijie nodded conscientiously, treating Bai Yulan’s instructions even more seriously than his own business.

"Get busy then, I won’t keep you for lunch."

Bai Yulan stood up, indicating it was time to see them off.

She wasn’t familiar with Chai Zijie and Yuan Mengqi, naturally not wanting to dine with them.

"Alright, Sister Bai, you can expect the good news from me!"

Though Chai Zijie wished to dine with Bai Yulan.

That could definitely be bragging rights for him among peers in the future.

But seeing Bai Yulan had no intention of inviting them, he dared not impose and linger.

"President Bai, Jiang Tao, I’m off too."

Yuan Mengqi also got up to bid farewell, turning to leave with Chai Zijie.

As a guest, Jiang Tao saw Bai Yulan had no plan to invite them to dine, naturally refrained from insisting, watching the two exit.

Knock, knock, knock──

Less than a minute after Chai Zijie and Yuan Mengqi left, the door was knocked again.

"Come in."

Bai Yulan glanced toward the door, softly spoke.

Squeak~

The door opened, and the familiar face of Zou Ruqi, Vice President Zou, whom Jiang Tao had met downstairs earlier, enters the office.

"President Bai, the crystal chandelier on the first floor has been reinforced, adding 10 more supporting points."

"Ensuring today’s safety issue won’t recur."

"We’ve also conducted a comprehensive inspection of the hotel..."

After entering, Zou Ruqi reported to Bai Yulan the progress regarding the day’s rectification and hazard screenings.

Due to the issue with the crystal chandelier on the 1st floor, the Baiyulan Hotel had voluntarily closed for self-inspection today.

After listening to Zou Ruqi’s report, Bai Yulan waved her off.

She then proceeded to call the head chef of the kitchen, ordering a few signature dishes to be sent directly to her office.

After about 20 minutes, several hotel waiters delivered lunch on a serving cart to Bai Yulan’s office.

The tea table meant for guest entertainment served as the dining table.

Jiang Tao and Bai Yulan sat facing each other, chatting while dining, the atmosphere was remarkably pleasant.

Upon knowing Jiang Tao was soon leaving Ping County for Beijing, Bai Yulan felt a sense of regret.

But her character inherently wouldn’t allow her to express any words of persuasion.

Their conversation wasn’t just idle chat; during their exchange, they reached a collaboration agreement.

Bai Yulan showed great interest in the delicious Eight Treasure Pickles from Jiang Tao’s company.

Jiang Tao arranged for the logistics department of the food factory to send 50 pounds of samples to Bai Yulan’s side.

If the taste of the Eight Treasure Pickles was up to par, the cooperation would deepen moving forward.

The lunch commenced at around 11 AM and concluded at approximately 1 PM.

A delightful lunch finally concluded.

Having satiated their hunger, Jiang Tao and Bai Yulan took the elevator downstairs together.

They drove off separately in two vehicles, headed towards Bai Yulan’s villa located at Anaxi Town.

At 1:30 PM, a Land Rover Range Rover and a Mercedes G-Class were parked outside a villa.

After parking, Bai Yulan and Jiang Tao entered the villa together.

Without extra pleasantries or idle talk, Jiang Tao patiently waited for Bai Yulan to wash up and change into a moonlight-colored silk nightgown.

The two then proceeded to Bai Yulan’s bedroom for today’s sleep-aid massage.

Previously, Jiang Tao’s so-called "sleep-aid massage" was actually deceptive rhetoric.

When massaging Du Enan and Bai Yulan, he’d secretly activate [Deep Sleep Mode] for them.

Under [Deep Sleep Mode], even a hyperactive child would obediently sleep.

Yet ever since Jiang Tao mastered the [Massage Skill], his massage was bona fide.

Both Bai Yulan and Xu Li highly praised his technique.

Twenty minutes later...

Noticing Bai Yulan had already fallen asleep, Jiang Tao’s hand withdrew from her neck.

The dazzling blue system interface suddenly popped up automatically.

Displaying two prompt messages.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the [Insomnia Terminator] special task, rewards being issued, please stay tuned...]

[Congratulations, you’ve received 660,000 cash, salary card limit +20,000, Constitution +1, Charm Value +1!]

Buzz~

Simultaneously, the phone in Jiang Tao’s pocket, silenced by him, buzzed slightly.

Upon checking his phone, indeed, there was a bank notification of a 660,000 deposit.

After 3 massages, earning 660,000, along with 1 Constitution point and 1 Charm point.

The rewards were decent enough.

Having accepted the system rewards, Jiang Tao mentally closed the system interface.

Then he gently adjusted Bai Yulan’s head on her pillow before standing up from the stool by the bedside.

Exiting the room, Jiang Tao hung a "Resting, Do Not Disturb" sign on Bai Yulan’s door.

Upon descending the stairs, Jiang Tao glanced at his wristwatch, the time was now 2:03 PM.

Ring, ring, ring──

The phone in his pocket rang abruptly, checking it, it was a call from Xu Li.

"Hello, honey."

"I’m with a client now, just finished, I’ll be home shortly."

"Alright, arriving in about 15 minutes."

Ending the call with Xu Li, Jiang Tao informed Bai Yulan’s nanny before leaving the villa.

Leaving the villa, he drove the Mercedes G-Class toward the direction of West City Hua Fu District.

At 2:20 PM.

As Jiang Tao arrived downstairs at Xu Li’s residence, he saw a large crowd gathering below.

Among the crowd were Xu Li’s family, Jiao Jingtong’s family.

And several neighbors either bidding farewell or simply there for the spectacle.

Seeing Jiang Tao disembark from the Mercedes G-Class, the neighbors’ gaze towards him was filled with envy and a hint of admiration.
