Inside the truck at the entrance of Xiaoshanhe Village.
Jiang Tao calculated the accounts on his phone.
This morning at Pang Dongdong Supermarket, he spent a total of 4497 yuan.
Received a transfer of 5250 yuan from Yu Dongdong, plus the landlord's 2400 yuan, totaling 7650 yuan.
7650-4497=3153!
He earned over 3000 yuan in just one morning!
Although not as much as he earned from selling watches yesterday, it's still very good!
After finishing the calculations, he happily smoked a cigarette.
Jiang Tao then started the car and headed straight for the Red Star Second-hand Furniture Market.
At exactly 9 AM, Jiang Tao parked the car at the furniture market entrance, waiting quietly for customers to take the bait like a fisherman.
In the past, every time he came to the furniture market, Jiang Tao started to feel anxious.
How will the business be today? How much money can I earn?
He was desperately short of money, and all he could think about was money, all he could see was money.
When business was good, and he earned a lot, he'd be very happy and excited.
When business was bad and he earned little, he'd start to feel anxious and mentally exhausted.
Every time the phone rang, he would worry if it was a creditor calling to demand payment.
With 3000 yuan in earnings today as a foundation, Jiang Tao's mood instantly relaxed a lot.
It felt like the world before his eyes had cleared up, and his breathing became smooth.
When people encounter happy events, they are full of spirit; it probably describes Jiang Tao's current state.
"Master, how much is it to take a few beds to Bai Gezhuang New Village?"
Jiang Tao had just gotten out of the car and hadn't even finished a cigarette when a job came up.
After some bargaining, they finally settled on a price of 70 yuan.
Jiang Tao got in the car, started it, and followed the customer into the wholesale market to begin his day's work.
Overall, today was quite lucky.
In the morning, he did a total of 3 jobs, earning 230 yuan.
He had a 10-yuan meal of stir-fried cake at a small restaurant by the wholesale market for lunch.
He rested in the car for about an hour at noon and did another 4 jobs in the afternoon, earning a total of 300 yuan.
At the end of the day, he made 530 yuan in total, and after deducting fuel expenses, he had a net profit of at least 400 yuan.
At 6 PM, as the sky began to darken, the market closed, ending a day's business.
Jiang Tao also finished work and drove home.
For dinner, he made tomato and egg noodles himself.
3 yuan for the noodles, 4 yuan for the tomatoes, plus 2 eggs.
The meal cost less than 10 yuan, and he was very full.
After the meal, he enjoyed a small drink with some peanuts, and life was quite delightful.
"I wonder what the intelligence will be tomorrow? It'd be great to have more money-making tips!"
As he drank, a thought crossed Jiang Tao's mind, and he opened the intelligence system, his eyes filled with anticipation.
[5 hours and 27 minutes until the next intelligence refresh, please be patient...]
Ring ring~
The phone rang, and Jiang Tao saw it was a video call from his wife, Xu Li, and he answered it with a tap.
The screen flashed, showing Xu Li's figure.
Today, Xu Li wore a light gray dress, looking tall, slim, and very elegant.
Even though they've been married for years, Jiang Tao often feels a certain urge whenever he sees his wife dressed nicely.
"Wow, whose wife is this? She's beautiful!"
"What's the use of being beautiful if it's not used by anyone."
"Haha, damn you, I wish I could use it every day. Why don't you bring our daughter to Beijing and stay for a few days?"
"Tch, I'm not living in your doghouse, will I have to sleep on the floor there?"
"If you two come over, of course, you wouldn't stay in my doghouse, we'd rent an apartment in the community."
"With spare money like that, it's better saved to buy new clothes for you and Xiao Xue for the New Year! By the way, hubby, did you sell the phone?"
"Sold it, got 4000 for it."
Jiang Tao said as he directly transferred 4000 yuan to Xu Li on WeChat.
Of course, this money wasn't from selling the phone; it was from selling watches and wine.
He didn't plan to sell the iPhone 15 he won from the iced tea; he saved it as a New Year gift for Xu Li.
"I saw on JD.com, a new one is over 4300, lost more than 300 yuan!"
Xu Li showed a painful look on her face; 300 yuan could buy milk for their daughter for two months.
"Be content, selling at this price is already good, if it weren't a bit of a loss, why would anyone buy from us instead of online?"
"True! By the way, hubby, I've got something to tell you."
"Mhm, go ahead."
"My mom transferred me 20,000 yuan today to help us out."
"Adding what you gave me before and the 4000 just now, I have over 30,000 yuan in hand."
"If someone comes to collect debt, let's discuss and pay a part first, the rest we can clear next year."
"Don't put so much pressure on yourself; money can be earned and paid back slowly. Health is always the most important."
"My daughter and I are waiting to enjoy good times with you, so please take good care of yourself."
Listening to Xu Li's chatter on the other end of the call, Jiang Tao felt deeply moved.
To have such a wife willing to endure hardships with him, understanding and considerate, it was all worth it!
"Don't worry, sweetheart, our good days aren't far off. You and our daughter just wait to enjoy life!"
Jiang Tao looked at the blue virtual panel in front of him.
It was as if he could already see the beautiful times of the three of them living happily together every day.
The couple talked for about an hour before hanging up.
Jiang Tao, having eaten and drunk enough, simply washed up and got into bed to listen to audiobooks.
A few years ago, he often went out and wandered around.
He often wandered until he reached the foot massage street.
As he gets older, his life has become simpler, and he's become more content with solitude.
Seeing that the time on his phone was already 12:01 AM.
Jiang Tao then paused the audio, closed the audiobook page.
"God of Wealth, bless me with another money-making tip!"
"Short on money, short on money, short on money! Critical matters should be said three times!"
Jiang Tao rubbed his hands, prayed to the air, and then opened the intelligence system with a thought.
[Today's Intelligence]: While waiting at the Red Star Second-hand Furniture Market, you received the following intelligence—
29800 yuan of someone's hidden personal funds is inside a second-hand single-seater sofa on sale by merchant B25!
"Someone's 29800 personal funds!"
Upon seeing the newly refreshed intelligence, Jiang Tao was instantly thrilled!
Whose good person hid money in a sofa!
Moreover, they sold it to the second-hand furniture market!
"Thank you, God of Wealth, you're like a real grandpa!"
Seeing the intelligence truly related to making money made Jiang Tao even more excited.
This was a piece of intelligence worth 29800!
Moreover, the cost was much lower than winning those three bottles of wine today!
Hence, the value for money was even higher!
If he could successfully acquire the "treasure sofa" hiding the personal funds.
The money he would earn in a day would almost equal what Jiang Tao used to earn in three hard months!
"Sleep, sleep, rest up, tomorrow I must get that sofa!"
After the excitement, Jiang Tao hurried to bed to sleep.
But as soon as he closed his eyes, his mind was full of sofas and red bills, and he couldn't fall asleep!
