Financial freedom starts with the daily intelligence system!

6:50 p.m.

As darkness fell, streetlights came on everywhere.

A black Mercedes-Benz G-Class and a Mercedes-Benz GLS drove into the Huabin Manor one after the other.

The two cars drove for a good three or four minutes along a tree-lined avenue inside the estate, with tall plane trees on both sides.

Finally, they arrived at a magnificent and imposing bronze gate.

The gate is elegantly and imposingly designed, and is carved with various auspicious cloud and flying crane patterns.

Through the crack in the gate, one can glimpse the vast green space inside, resembling a park, and the faint outlines of classical buildings in the distance.

The security personnel at the entrance, dressed in crisp uniforms and wearing headsets, had already received their instructions.

After briefly confirming the identities of Jiang Tao and his group, they bowed respectfully and let them pass.

When the vehicle actually entered the manor, only Jiang Tao, who had been there before, remained relatively calm.

Everyone else was speechless with shock at the sight before them.

Where is this supposed to be a residence?
This is clearly a private royal garden!

The first thing that catches the eye is a vast, flat lawn that stretches as far as the eye can see, like green velvet.

Even in the twilight, its meticulously crafted texture can be felt.

In the distance from the lawn, there is a huge artificial lake with shimmering waves.

In the center of the lake stands a magnificent ancient pavilion.

The driveway winds and twists, flanked by meticulously designed garden landscapes that blend Chinese and Western styles.

Rare Podocarpus macrophyllus trees, towering camphor trees, and well-arranged artificial mountains and waterfalls.

And various exquisitely designed landscape lights that shine as brightly as day even at night.

Everything in sight creates a picture of ultimate luxury and tranquility.

"Good heavens, in a place like the capital, how much would it cost to build such a huge estate?"

Jiang Wen looked out the window at the luxurious manor and couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

This is the capital city where land is incredibly valuable, not a small rural village like Jiangjiazhuang where an acre of land is only worth a few thousand yuan!

"As expected of the capital city, there are so many rich people..."

Tian Xiaomei couldn't imagine what it would be like to live in such a manor.

"Mom, this place is even prettier and bigger than the park outside our neighborhood. I love it here! Let's buy a house here!"

Even though she was still young, Jiang Xue opened her big, bright eyes wide and loved the place very much.

"Haha, although this place is luxurious, it's still a bit inconvenient for going to school. How about we buy a house here when you go to university?"

Jiang Tao affectionately patted the little guy's head, his eyes brimming with confidence.

It will be more than ten years before Jiang Xue goes to university.

Given Jiang Tao's rate of wealth growth, he could probably buy the entire Huabin Manor by then.

"Really? It's a deal, let's pinky swear!"

After hearing her father's words, Jiang Xue smiled and made a pinky promise with him.

"You just spoil your daughter."

Xu Li smiled gently, her eyes filled with tenderness as she looked at Jiang Tao and her daughter.

Jiang Tao and Jiang Xue's banter lightened the atmosphere in the car considerably, and everyone recovered from their initial shock at seeing the Huabin Manor.

Guided by the butler, the vehicle continued its journey along the smooth asphalt road, which resembled a racetrack.

Finally, it stopped in front of a main building that blends European classical and modern design elements.

This is a huge three-story villa.

The exterior walls are made of light-colored stone, with huge arched doors and windows, and in front of the door are a wide Roman colonnade and a meticulously maintained garden.

Warm yellow light shone through the windows, making the entire building look like a castle from a fairy tale.

As soon as the car came to a stop, the main building's heavy, intricately carved wooden door was opened from the inside.

Wearing a well-tailored dark Zhongshan suit, looking energetic and with a sincere smile, Xiang Huabin was the first to step out.

Beside Xiang Huabin was Qu Yunzhu, who was dressed in an elegant cheongsam, with a gentle temperament and a very good complexion.

Following behind her parents, Xiang Yiwei, dressed in a haute couture suit, also had a warm smile on her face.

Given Xiang Huabin's status and position, there are very few guests in Beijing who would have him personally greet them at the door.

This fully demonstrates his gratitude and respect for Jiang Tao.

"Jiang Tao! And all distinguished guests, welcome! You must be tired from your journey!"

Xiang Huabin strode forward, grasped Jiang Tao's hand, and shook it vigorously.

His gaze swept over the crowd, his eyes full of smiles.

Xiang Huabin's warm and sincere attitude, without the slightest airs of a top tycoon, instantly eased the tension and restraint of Jiang Tao's family.

"Xiao Jiang, you've finally arrived! I've been looking forward to seeing you every day these past few days."

Qu Junzhu smiled gently and greeted Jiang Tao, then looked at Xu Li and Jiang Xue, her tone soft:

"This must be your beloved Xiao Xu, right? She's very beautiful and a perfect match for you. Your daughter is adorable too."

Qu Yunzhu spoke in a very gentle tone, which was both gentle and intimate, making people feel very comfortable.

"Xiang Dong, Aunt Qu, Yi Wei, these are my parents, Jiang Wen, and Tian Xiaomei."

“These are my father-in-law and mother-in-law, Xu Wencheng and Du Yongmei.”

"My wife is Xu Li, my daughter is Xiaoxue, and Xiaoxue's aunt is Xu Sha."

"This is Mr. Xiang and Mrs. Qu Junzhu of Huabin Manor, as well as Mr. Xiang's daughter, Xiang Yiwei."

After shaking hands with Xiang Huabin, Jiang Tao, with a smile on his face, introduced his family members one by one, and then introduced the three members of the Xiang family to everyone.

In the past, if Jiang Tao had met such an important figure as Xiang Huabin, he would have been extremely nervous and would have been unable to speak fluently.

Because at that time, a big shot like Xiang Huabin was someone he could only look up to and never reach in his entire life!
But now, there is a daily intelligence system, as well as special items that you can obtain by completing various special tasks.

In just about six months, he had already acquired wealth that ordinary people could not obtain in dozens or even hundreds of lifetimes.

Furthermore, all of my businesses are still in their early stages of development, or rather, in their "budding stage."

Once their various businesses have grown and expanded, and the snowball effect has started, then...

The speed at which you acquire wealth can increase by thousands, or even tens of thousands of times!
Reaching Xiang Huabin's current level, or even surpassing him and leaving him far behind, is only a matter of time!

Therefore, when facing a big shot like Xiang Huabin now, Jiang Tao can treat him with a normal attitude, without any sense of awe.

"Hello, Mr. Xiang, Mrs. Xiang, Miss Xiang."

"President Xiang..."

Jiang Wen and the others greeted the three members of the Xiang family one by one.

Clearly, they couldn't remain as calm as Jiang Tao.

Mr. and Mrs. Jiang had lived in the countryside for most of their lives and had only been in Beijing for a few months.

Charles Heung was the most important person they had ever met, so it was understandable that they were nervous. However, Charles Heung and his wife were completely unconcerned, treating him like the family of an old friend.

Qu Junzhu even squatted down and teased Jiang Xue, who was holding Xu Li's hand.

The approachable nature of Xiang Huabin and his wife completely put Jiang Tao's family at ease.

People's goodwill towards Xiang Huabin's family instantly soared.

"Brother Jiang, sister-in-law, and all the uncles and aunts, you must be tired from your journey. Please come inside and sit down so we can have a chat."

Xiang Yiwei also greeted everyone in a graceful and generous manner.

Her gaze lingered on Xu Li for a moment longer, filled with kind appreciation, before she thoughtfully guided everyone into the villa.

The group passed through a magnificent, high-ceilinged lobby that rivaled that of a five-star hotel.

Underfoot was gleaming Italian imported marble, above was a dazzling giant crystal chandelier, and on the walls hung oil paintings with profound artistic conception. Finally, we arrived at the restaurant where the banquet would be held tonight.

When the waiter pushed open the two double, exquisitely carved solid wood doors of the restaurant.

The Jiang family members, who had just calmed down a bit, were once again shocked by the scene before them and gasped in astonishment!
This restaurant is extremely spacious, comparable to a small banquet hall.

The overall style is understated luxury, with walls upholstered in high-end warm colors and huge floor-to-ceiling windows offering meticulously designed night views.

The most eye-catching feature is the huge rectangular dining table in the center of the restaurant, which is over five meters long and nearly two meters wide!

The dining table is crafted from a single piece of precious ebony wood, with a warm and lustrous texture and picturesque grain.

The table was covered with a top-quality linen tablecloth that was ironed without a single wrinkle.

Each high-backed dining chair is upholstered in soft, supple calfskin.

Three sets of crystal goblets of different sizes were neatly arranged on the dining table in front of the chair.

The tableware consisted of heavy sterling silver knives and forks and bone china plates with gold rims, shimmering with a low-key yet luxurious glow under the lights.

The napkin was folded into an elegant swan shape and placed in the center of the plate.

At this point, the appetizers and cold dishes have been served.

At the center of the table is a giant swan ice sculpture made of ice blocks, serving as decoration.

The swan ice sculpture exuded a chill, surrounded by a plate of imported caviar that shimmered like black pearls.

And a platter of fresh sashimi bigger than the palm of your hand.

The platter includes bluefin tuna belly, New Zealand king salmon, and botan shrimp.

The meat of these premium ingredients is crystal clear, like works of art displayed on a plate.

After everyone was seated, the pan-fried foie gras, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, served with figs and port wine sauce, was quickly brought to the table.

The lobster meat is carefully removed and paired with vegetables to create a colorful Australian lobster salad.

There are also dishes that look simple, but are actually made with very high-quality ingredients and are quite expensive, such as Parma ham with melon and black truffle onsen eggs.

The air inside the restaurant was filled with the enticing aroma of food mixed with the subtle fragrance of flowers.

Everyone who saw this couldn't help but swallow hard.

Although, under Jiang Tao's leadership, everyone has achieved a much more comfortable life than ordinary families.

However, it still falls short of the top-tier luxury that has been cultivated over generations by the Xiang family.

Before the banquet began, Xiang Huabin raised his glass, stood up, and his expression became unusually solemn:

"Today, I am very happy and honored to have Jiang Tao and everyone else as guests at my home."

Xiang Huabin's gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Jiang Tao, and he continued:
"On this occasion, I, Xiang Huabin, along with my wife Qu Junzhu and my daughter Xiang Yiwei, would like to once again express our sincerest and deepest gratitude to Jiang Tao!"

Xiang Huabin took a deep breath, his tone becoming heavier:

"Last time at the Reclining Buddha Temple, if Jiang Tao hadn't appeared in time to save my wife, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"We, the Xiang family, will never forget this life-saving grace! From now on, Jiang Tao and everyone here will be my friends for life!"

"This first drink, Jiang Tao, is a toast to you!"

After saying that, Xiang Huabin downed the wine in his glass in one gulp.

"Xiao Jiang, thank you."

"Thank you, Brother Jiang."

Qu Yunzhu and Xiang Yiwei followed suit, raising their glasses to Jiang Tao in gratitude, their eyes filled with genuine thanks.

Jiang Tao quickly stood up and responded humbly:

"Mr. Xiang, Aunt Qu, Yiwei, you are too kind."

"In that situation, anyone would have offered help."

"I just happened to be there and did what I was supposed to do. There's no need for everyone to be so polite."

Jiang Tao's tactful response made the Xiang family of three appreciate him even more.

After a few more pleasantries, the dinner officially began at Xiang Huabin's invitation.

Under the skillful leadership of Xiang Huabin, Qu Yunzhu, and Xiang Yiwei, the atmosphere of the banquet remained warm and harmonious throughout.

Xiang Huabin is knowledgeable and witty. He can chat with Jiang Wen and Xu Wencheng about health, current events, and even speak a few words of their hometown dialect.

He can also have in-depth discussions with Jiang Tao about business trends and golf skills, and he can make meaningful statements about anything.

Qu Junzhu was mainly responsible for taking care of Tian Xiaomei and Du Yongmei, two ladies who were about the same age as her.

She spoke in a gentle tone, and the conversation revolved around children, family, and health, without any airs of a wealthy woman.

Qu Junzhu quickly won the favor and trust of Tian Xiaomei and Du Yongmei, and the conversations among the group became more relaxed and pleasant.

As the daughter of the Xiang family, Xiang Yiwei received various forms of education from a young age and is very adept at dealing with people and situations.

She could chat with Xu Li about fashion and parenting, thus building a closer relationship.

She can also discuss current popular variety shows and online hot topics with the young and lively Xu Sha.

He treated Jiang Tao's parents and in-laws with great respect and humility, making everyone feel valued and cared for.

The three members of the Xiang family, father and daughters, seemed to possess a kind of magic, always able to find suitable topics and skillfully guide the atmosphere at the dinner table, ensuring that no one was neglected while also stirring up everyone's emotions.

He can handle a wide range of topics with ease, from international affairs to local anecdotes, from culture and art to everyday family matters, all seamlessly connected.

The exquisite food, the fine wine, and the pleasant, relaxed conversation made this dinner a truly enjoyable experience.

After the meal, Jiang Tao was deeply impressed by the social skills of the three members of the Xiang family.

This is the true style and demeanor of a distinguished family that has been refined over generations.

Their influence is subtle and pervasive, allowing people to feel their sincerity and strength in an extremely comfortable environment.

Dinner lasted for nearly two hours, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely.

After the meal, everyone enjoyed some fruit and dessert in the living room and chatted for a while longer.

Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Tao and his family got up to say goodbye.

Before parting, Xiang Yiwei had her servants bring several exquisitely packaged gift boxes that had been prepared beforehand.

Another gift was given to each person. (End of Chapter)
