Chapter 789 377: New Intelligence: Gu Jingzhou's Yixing Teapot and Counterfeit Wine!

He genuinely appreciated Jiang Tao and felt happy for the villagers who could benefit.

Jiang Xingguo had been dealing with the village elders all year round.

Watching the village elders holding their meager monthly retirement money, reluctant to eat, reluctant to drink.

That was truly just scraping by life!

Honestly, sometimes he felt uncomfortable watching it.

But he was just a village secretary in a poor and remote small village.

His own monthly salary was only three to four thousand, barely enough to support his family.

He wanted to do good for the villagers, but he didn't have the capacity.

Jiang Tao had the ability, but previously lacked the intention.

Jiang Xingguo couldn't use moral coercion to avoid annoying people.

Now that Jiang Tao took the initiative, he naturally agreed wholeheartedly!

"Brother Xingguo, make a plan for the community dining hall these days and give it to me once it's finished."

"You are the main person in charge of this project. List where the dining hall will be built and how many people are needed."

"The monthly food budget of 50,000 yuan does not need to be moved; I will cover the wages additionally."

This time Jiang Tao genuinely wanted to do something good for the villagers.

He didn't mind spending another ten or twenty thousand a month.

Jiang Xingguo said excitedly, "Okay, President Jiang! I will get the plan to you as soon as possible! Thank you on behalf of the villagers!"

"No need to be so polite, Brother Xingguo, I'm also a member of Jiang Family Manor."

"Doing something for the villagers within my capacity is just right."

"By the way, Brother Xingguo, you should also try to learn from that popular secretary from a while ago."

"While doing this community dining hall, also engage in some social media."

"If by chance it goes viral, it's also a project that can increase income."

Jiang Xingguo nodded and agreed:

"Okay, President Jiang, I'll check out what the secretary you mentioned did and use it as a reference."

"It's getting late, so we'll head off now."

After discussing the community dining hall, Jiang Tao raised his wrist to glance at the Richard Mille RM-29 watch Qiu Lizhen had given him.

Unknowingly, the time had already reached 11 p.m. It was indeed quite late.

Jiang Xingguo waved goodbye to Jiang Tao and Liu Yuan:

"Alright, President Jiang, President Liu, drive safely."

"Goodbye, Secretary Jiang."

"Goodbye, President Liu."

Liu Yuan waved to Jiang Xingguo, then followed Jiang Tao to go to Jia Guolin, who was quietly waiting nearby.

Liu Yuan had also drunk alcohol tonight and could not drive.

Jiang Tao thus invited her to sit in his car and asked Jia Guolin to drive her home.

Liu Yuan, for convenience, rented a place directly in Huilongguan, which is less than 10 minutes away from Xiaoshanhe.

Jiang Tao asked Jia Guolin to take Liu Yuan home first and then return him.

By the time he arrived at his apartment block, it was already around 11:30 p.m.

"Boss, I'll head off first."

After getting out of the car, Jia Guolin respectfully bid farewell to Jiang Tao.

"Drive safely, thanks for your hard work today, Old Jia."

Jiang Tao patted Old Jia's shoulder, watching him walk more than ten meters away before turning to head for his apartment block entrance.

Taking the elevator upstairs, he found his parents and Jiang Xue had already gone to sleep, only Xu Li was still waiting for him.

After the couple whispered a few words, Xu Li urged Jiang Tao to take a shower.

After freshening up, the couple further advanced their second-child plan for over an hour.

Xu Li, exhausted, fell into a satisfied sleep.

Jiang Tao checked the time and saw it was well past midnight.

Feeling inspired, he opened the system panel to check the latest intel.

[Today's Intel 01]: You had contact with Qiao Yue yesterday, obtaining related information —

Qiao Yue and Zhang Bo have a marriage compatibility of 98, truly a match made in heaven.

Bringing them together can earn lifelong friendship and gratitude from both!

…

"Another piece of intel on matchmaking, looks like I'm becoming a part-time Yue Lao."

Seeing the first piece of intel refreshed today, Jiang Tao couldn't help but chuckle.

He had already successfully paired up four or five couples!

Lü Qian Uncle Lü and Ma Dongmei, Uncle Tian Xiaoguang and Aunt Tian Mingrong.

Also Wang Zhiyuan and Liu Yuan, Zhang Chao and Fang Qi.

Tonight added Zhang Bo and Qiao Yue to the list!

Honestly, Jiang Tao wasn't familiar with Qiao Yue.

It was only at tonight's dinner party that Jiang Xingguo introduced Qiao Yue to Jiang Tao.

Qiao Yue herself was just an ordinary girl.

Average looks, average figure, average education, nothing that left a deep impression on Jiang Tao.

But Brother Tongzi said her compatibility with Zhang Bo was 98, a match made in heaven, so it must be true.

"But, I remember Zhang Bo seems to already have a girlfriend?"

"Should I wait until he breaks up to introduce Qiao Yue?"

"Forget it, I'll ask them about their situation with the current girlfriend tomorrow."

"If they're happily together, then I won't intrude unnecessarily."

After making up his mind, Jiang Tao continued to refresh for the next line of intel.

[Today's Intel 02]: You had contact with Zhang Bo yesterday, obtaining related information —

Zhang Bo's girlfriend, Tong Mengyao, is rekindling an old flame with ex-girlfriend Gao Wen at the Country Trade Hotel!

Timely reminder can help Zhang Bo stop losses promptly.

…

"What's happening? Whose ex-girlfriend? Zhang Bo or Tong Mengyao?"

Upon understanding the content of the second piece of intel, Jiang Tao almost had a dry CPU.

"These young ones have quite the complex situation!"

After repeatedly staring at the intel page for over a minute, Jiang Tao concluded that Gao Wen was likely Tong Mengyao's ex-girlfriend.

Meaning, Zhang Bo's girlfriend Tong Mengyao used to be a lesbian.

"Would that count as being cheated on?"

Jiang Tao was starting to become bewildered by the young generation's lifestyles.

"On to the next one."

[Today's Intel 03]: You drank tea at Wangfu Tea House yesterday, obtaining related information —

Among the batch of Yixing teapots sold by Wangfu Tea House, one is an authentic piece personally crafted by Gu Jingzhou.

This teapot is extremely valuable, recommended to acquire it early!

[Note]: There's 10 hours and 28 minutes remaining before the teapot is bought by someone else.

"Yixing teapot? Gu Jingzhou? Extremely valuable?"

Seeing the third intel, Jiang Tao was slightly surprised.

Brother Tongzi rarely labels a certain item as "extremely valuable."

It seems this Yixing teapot isn't cheap.

Curious, Jiang Tao searched Gu Jingzhou on his mobile browser.

The phone page quickly popped up several pieces of information related to Gu Jingzhou.

"My goodness, the top person in Yixing teapot craft?"

"A teapot auctioned for over ten million?"

Jiang Tao randomly viewed several pieces of information about Gu Jingzhou and Yixing teapots, understanding the value of Gu Jingzhou teapots and felt deeply astonished!

There are really many rich people in this world!

Just a teapot, and it could sell for over ten million!

Who are the buyers?

Would they actually use such an expensive teapot for brewing?

"I certainly wouldn't use such an expensive teapot for tea brewing."

"Being a tea house owner, if a teapot this expensive can be 'picked up,' then I won't hesitate."

After an inner sigh, Jiang Tao had his action plan.

Tomorrow morning, he'll go to Wangfu Tea House to buy the teapot!

There are more than 10 hours left before the authentic Gu Jingzhou teapot gets sold.

No need to rush at the moment.

"Continue! Next one!"

[Today's Intel 04]: You had dinner at Jinghua Pavilion yesterday, obtaining related information —

The Romanee Conti you drank with He Jing yesterday was fake wine.

Lobbying for rights can result in 10 times compensation and 3 free passes!

…

"What is this? Fake wine?"

Seeing the last piece of intel, Jiang Tao was somewhat taken aback.

Such a high-end place like Jinghua Pavilion also sells fake wine?

"Damn it, I'll definitely avoid Western wine! What a cheat for not knowing about it!"

The reason he drank wine yesterday was to have a romantic time with He Jing.

Unexpectedly, it turned into such a spectacular failure!

Jiang Tao knew little about Western wine, and if Brother Tongzi hadn't pointed it out, he'd never know he drank fake wine!

"That Romanee Conti yesterday seemed like it was 120,000, so 10 times compensation is 1.2 million."

"1.2 million as mental distress compensation, somewhat acceptable!"
