As if it matters!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, today is different, I encountered something great, so I had a couple of celebratory drinks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? What great thing happened? Some rich woman wants to keep you? If so, hurry and agree and send the money to the two of us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Li finished her sentence and burst out laughing on the other side of the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You cheeky woman, always daydreaming about something great! Am I that easily tempted by rich women?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You probably wouldn’t believe me if I told you, but today while driving, I randomly bought a bottle of iced tea from a convenience store, and guess what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Li rolled her eyes: \"Win another bottle? Is that worth celebrating?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What ’win another bottle’! I, your husband, today was blessed with great fortune, a swipe of the phone, click! Guess what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Li curiously asked: \"Took a picture?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Tao was speechless and directly revealed the truth:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, you’d probably never guess even if you thought about it with a pig’s brain—I scanned and won an iPhone 15, first prize!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heeheehee... You scanned and won first prize for iced tea? I also won the first prize for the lottery!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Xu Li laughed so hard she swayed hearing Jiang Tao’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could scanning a bottle cap of iced tea win a prize?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sounded even less reliable than her own husband!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Tao knew that Xu Li wouldn’t believe him no matter how much he explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, if it hadn’t actually happened, he wouldn’t have believed such promotions for iced tea could actually win!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the facts were right there, you had to believe it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Tao didn’t explain any further and directly sent Xu Li the screenshot of his winning interface and the filled-in address information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way, hubby? You really won!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the screenshot sent by Jiang Tao, Xu Li was surprised and delighted, her mood soaring instantly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Tao humorously said: \"How could it be fake? You don’t think I’d be bored enough to Photoshop a winning screenshot, do you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I believe you wouldn’t! Even if you wanted to Photoshop, you’d still need to know how!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh... that’s true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hubby, you’re amazing! To actually win like this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Xue, Xiao Xue, come quick, I’ve got good news!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your dad achieved something amazing today! He actually won a big prize!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the call, after Xu Li praised Jiang Tao, she excitedly ran off with her phone to share the good news with their daughter Jiang Xue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his silly wife be as happy as a second idiot, Jiang Tao also laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, if only he could see his wife this happy every day!\u003C\u002Fp>",1285,"2026-05-30T11:56:10.692Z","2026-06-01T04:31:10.297Z",1,"novelbin.me","808ec9ea38a15659b7088ac8c9d51094e2a958cc56e1b63557389f8c2a0a97dd","daily-intelligence-system-financial-independence-chapter-4","daily-intelligence-system-financial-independence-chapter-2",544,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdaily-intelligence-system-financial-independence-cover.jpg"]
