Chapter 578 - 274: The Future Vision of Jiang’s Delicious Claypot

"President Jiang!"

Jia Guolin stood in front of Jiang Tao, greeting him with utmost respect.

"Old Jia, have you completed all the entry formalities?"

Jiang Tao also smiled as he greeted Jia Guolin, having changed his address from Master Jia to Old Jia.

"Yes, it’s all done. Thank you, President Jiang, for this opportunity. I will serve you diligently from now on!"

Jia Guolin looked at Jiang Tao with gratitude in his eyes.

The compensation Jiang Tao offered him was almost double that of his peers!

Last night, when Jia Guolin shared the news with his wife at home, she could hardly believe it, thinking he might have encountered a scam.

Honestly, Jia Guolin didn’t sleep well the whole night, constantly thinking about Jiang Tao poaching him.

Why would someone offer him such a high salary?

What could he possibly bring to the table?

To be honest, the more Jia Guolin thought about it, the more he felt uneasy, thinking that the salary Jiang Tao offered was absurdly high and without any rationale.

It wasn’t until this morning, when Jia Guolin went to the Walden Lake Villa District according to the address Jiang Tao provided, that he saw the company’s office space and scale.

It wasn’t until Jiang Jiaqi completed his entry formalities that he dared to believe he was truly blessed, having met his benefactor!

Yes!

At this moment, in Jia Guolin’s eyes, Jiang Tao was not only his boss.

He was also his benefactor!

His Bo Le!

"Working with me won’t let you down. Let’s go, to Century Jinyuan Hotel."

Jiang Tao patted Old Jia on the shoulder, announced an address, and then opened the back door of the car to sit in the back seat and started resting his eyes.

Without saying much, Jia Guolin drove straight to the Century Jinyuan Hotel near Century City.

In 49 minutes, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class pulled into the parking lot of the Century Jinyuan Hotel.

Jiang Tao gave Jia Guolin 500 yuan to find a café and have some coffee.

He himself took the elevator in the accommodation section upstairs.

Ding~

When the elevator opened on the 20th floor, Jiang Tao stepped out and walked down the corridor to the door of Room 2012.

Ring-dong~

Ka!

Almost the instant Jiang Tao rang the doorbell, the door opened a crack.

A slender figure exploded with great force, pulling him entirely into the room.

Bam!

Ka!

The door closed and locked again.

Jiang Tao felt a warmth on his lips, already kissed by a pair of passionate lips.

Immediately, a soft body pressed against him.

The room’s curtains were drawn, effectively blocking out the light.

Even though it was still afternoon outside with bright daylight, the room was dim as night, full of ambiance.

One piece of clothing after another fell off, stretching from the doorway to the large bed at the center of the room.

Soon, the room echoed with the soft murmurs of Yuan Mengqi, accompanied by gasps.

minutes later...

Yuan Mengqi, with cheeks like peaches, lay in Jiang Tao’s arms, tracing circles on his hard chest muscles with her slender, fair fingers.

Entwined intimately, they quietly chatted for over ten minutes before heading to the bathroom for a wash.

A wash that normally took just a few minutes stretched to nearly an hour for them.

After washing up, Yuan Mengqi had no strength left to walk and was carried out of the bathroom by Jiang Tao.

They rested on the large bed in the room for about an hour.

Only then did they take the elevator downstairs together to check out.

When Jiang Tao entered the Century Hotel, it was only around four or five in the afternoon.

By the time they left, it was already evening, with the sun setting in the west.

Originally, Jiang Tao intended to invite Yuan Mengqi’s mother and her siblings to Century Hotel for dinner.

But Yuan Mengqi said her mother and brother were already prepared at home.

Tonight was the first time her family was cooking after moving into their new home, which held significant meaning.

After checking out, Jiang Tao and Yuan Mengqi got into his car, letting Jia Guolin drive them downstairs.

"Old Jia, find somewhere to have dinner yourself. I’ll call you when we’re ready to leave."

When getting off the car, Jiang Tao casually handed another 500 yuan to Jia Guolin for dinner.

"Thank you, boss! I am at your service anytime!"

Jia Guolin accepted the money without hesitation, thanking Jiang Tao gratefully.

In just half a day today, Jiang Tao had already tipped Jia Guolin 1,000 yuan!

At this moment, Jia Guolin felt fortunate to have chosen the right boss in Jiang Tao!

"Let’s go."

After seeing off Old Jia, Jiang Tao, with his arm around the slightly wobbly Yuan Mengqi, entered the building and took the elevator upstairs.

Ding~

The elevator opened on the 20th floor.

Jiang Tao and Yuan Mengqi walked out of the elevator, heading to Room 2001 to ring the doorbell.

Ring-dong~

"Coming, coming."

The moment Jiang Tao rang the doorbell, the voice of Yuan Mengqi’s mother, Zhao Huilan, came from inside.

Soon, the door opened, and the smiling face of Zhao Huilan appeared at the entrance.

"Qiqi, Xiao Jiang, you’re back, come in, come in."

Seeing her daughter and Jiang Tao outside, Zhao Huilan warmly invited them in while her eyes were blazing with curiosity!

Zhao Huilan, having been through it herself, knew exactly what had transpired after just a glance at her daughter’s affectionate eyes when she opened the door.

"Good evening, Aunt Zhao."

Jiang Tao greeted Zhao Huilan with a smile as he stepped inside.

"Good, good, thanks to you, Xiao Jiang, our family is doing well. Harmony brings wealth."

While closing the door, Zhao Huilan spoke to Jiang Tao with laughter in her voice.

After moving to Beijing, Zhao Huilan seemed like a changed person.

Not only did she appear healthier, but her outlook also underwent a significant transformation, becoming more optimistic and upbeat.

This life now is beyond what she ever dreamed of, and it’s the life she loves.

She was grateful to Jiang Tao, knowing he was the one who brought about all these changes for her family.

"Brother Jiang, you’re here! Chat with my sister and mom for a bit; dinner will be ready in about ten minutes."

Busy in the kitchen, Yuan Mengjie came out to greet Jiang Tao upon hearing the commotion outside.

"Good evening, Brother Jiang."

Lin Ranran also greeted Jiang Tao respectfully.

Jiang Tao laughed, "You two have worked hard, make sure to eat well later."

Yuan Mengjie scratched his head and chuckled, "It’s nothing, not hard at all. Brother Jiang, I tried a few new dishes today, let you taste first!"

Jiang Tao laughed heartily, "Sure, I look forward to the skills of our chief chef at Jiang’s Delicious Claypot."

"You’ll see! Ah, my soup!!"

Before Yuan Mengjie could finish his sentence, the sound of sizzling from the kitchen interrupted him.

Turning his head, he saw his boiling soup spilling over the pot’s edge, and, exclaiming, he dashed back into the kitchen!

"Brother Jiang, please continue chatting, I’ll go help Brother Jie."

After greeting Jiang Tao, Lin Ranran turned back to the kitchen to continue her work.

Jiang Tao, Yuan Mengqi, and Zhao Huilan sat down in the living room around a large tea table and began their chat.

The topic of conversation primarily revolved around Jiang’s Delicious Claypot.

Yesterday, Yuan Mengqi and Yuan Mengjie, according to Jiang Tao’s instructions, acquired the shop outside the community that was up for transfer.

The shop was two stories, with a total area of about 300 square meters, an adequate size.

For operating a claypot-style restaurant, it barely sufficed.

As for the rent, it was certainly not cheap, 720,000 yuan per year!

The annual rent was almost enough to buy a 100-square-meter house back in their hometown of Ping County upfront!

The lease was signed and paid for yesterday, and Yuan Mengqi was still lamenting over it!

Without Jiang Tao’s strong support, the seventy-something thousand rental fee alone would have discouraged the Yuan siblings.

"Brother Tao, starting by renting such an expensive shop, I’m not confident at all."

Yuan Mengqi looked at Jiang Tao with a pained expression, unsure where his strong confidence came from.

"Don’t worry, I believe in my vision and in your and Xiao Jie’s management abilities."

"Our first store will definitely succeed, and in the future, there will also be a second, a third, and a tenth store opening."

"Before long, I aim to open our Jiang’s Delicious Claypots all over Beijing and across the country."

Jiang Tao’s full confidence in depicting future ambitions made him seem incredibly charming to Yuan Mengqi!
