Chapter 795 380: Paying 4 Million in Taxes at Once, Returning to Jinghua Pavilion! (Part 2)

"Should I give her a call to come over?"

Zhang Long made one final confirmation with Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao nodded and said, "Let her come over."

"Alright, I'll call her right away."

Zhang Long finished speaking and immediately pulled out his phone to make the call.

"Lili, over here..."

Less than ten minutes after Zhang Long hung up,

a woman carrying a small, professional wine-tasting toolkit,

looking to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, walked gracefully into the Boya Auction House.

She was dressed in a smart navy blue professional suit.

Her figure was tall, with long hair tied into a neat bun at the back.

Her exquisite face wore professional light makeup, and a sleek gold-rimmed pair of glasses adorned her delicate and high nose.

Her gaze was sharp yet calm, giving off an intellectual and professional vibe.

"Uncle Zhang, Xiaobo, long time no see."

After entering, Jiang Li greeted Zhang Long and his son with a smile.

"Jiang Tao, let me introduce you—this is the daughter from the family I just mentioned, Jiang Li!"

"Don't be fooled by Lili's young age; she's a bona fide wine taster with what certification?"

Zhang Long looked at Jiang Li, introducing and inquiring simultaneously.

Jiang Li smiled and added, "WSET Level 4."

"Yes, yes, that's the WSET Level 4. I heard from Lili's dad that this is equivalent to a Ph.D. in the wine industry!"

Zhang Long proudly introduced Jiang Li to Jiang Tao:

"Lili's won so many awards in wine-tasting competitions both domestically and internationally; she's a top professional in the field!"

"Nice to meet you, Miss Jiang."

Jiang Tao extended his hand to Jiang Li, naturally fond of this woman who shared his wife's name but not her surname.

Zhang Long seized the moment to continue the introduction: "Lili, let me introduce you: this is Jiang Tao, also a valued guest of ours."

Jiang Li smiled slightly and softly said:

"Uncle Zhang, I have long heard of God Jiang's reputation, and I am actually a fan of his."

"It's an honor to meet God Jiang in person; you look younger and even more charming than on the internet."

Jiang Li reached out to shake Jiang Tao's hand, her eyes filled with unhidden admiration.

"Haha, Miss Jiang, you're too kind; thank you for your help today."

Jiang Tao laughed it off, choosing not to continue the topic.

Recently, his charm value has increased by dozens of points, along with completing various special tasks.

Naturally, now he appears more charismatic than before.

You can see this from the fact that Jiang Li held onto his hand for quite a while before letting go.

"You're too polite; it's my pleasure to serve you."

After speaking, Jiang Li gently released Jiang Tao's hand, allowing him to successfully extricate himself.

Ring ring ring—

Just as Jiang Li finished speaking, Jiang Tao's phone rang.

He pulled out his phone to see that the incoming caller's name was "Silly Wife."

Earlier, while calculating taxes, Jiang Tao had messaged Xu Li, inviting her for lunch today.

Yesterday, he took He Jing to experience the luxury of Jinghua Pavilion, and today he wanted Xu Li to experience it as well.

The moment Jiang Tao swiped to answer the call, Xu Li's voice came through the receiver:

"Honey, I'm already inside the market, but I can't find Zhang Bo's house, mind coming out to get me?"

"Ah! I see it now, I see it! No need to come out, I can see it, I'll be right over."

On the other end, Xu Li finished speaking and hung up the phone.

"My wife's arrived; I'm going out to meet her."

Jiang Tao said to the group, then turned and headed towards the door.

Just as Jiang Tao stepped out of Boya Auction House's door, he saw Xu Li waving at him while briskly walking over.

"Honey~"

Xu Li quickly came forward, affectionately wrapping her arms around Jiang Tao's arm, her adorable face beaming with happiness.

Clearly, Xu Li had also carefully dressed for today's lunch.

Her new Chanel outfit complemented Xu Li's already beautiful and graceful appearance, making her look even more radiant.

No matter where she goes, she is always the most dazzling presence in the crowd.

Xu Li's 98-point charm value is genuinely authentic and without a bit of exaggeration!

"Let's go, dear, Uncle Zhang and Zhang Bo are inside, let's say hello and head out."

Jiang Tao smiled and said to Xu Li, and together they entered the auction's meeting room.

"So beautiful!"

Upon entering, even Jiang Li, as a fellow woman, was amazed.

Originally, she thought that with her looks, temperament, family background, and taking the initiative in pursuing him,

capturing Jiang Tao would be easy.

However, upon seeing Xu Li, that idea was quickly extinguished.

In front of Xu Li, even Jiang Li, who had always been confident in her looks and figure, felt less assured.

It's no exaggeration to say Jiang Li and Xu Li's beauty is on completely different levels.

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

Zhang Bo warmly greeted Xu Li upon seeing her enter.

Xu Li responded with a smile, "Hello, Zhang Bo."

"Uncle Zhang, Miss Jiang, this is my wife, Xu Li."

"Dear, this is Uncle Zhang, whom I've often mentioned to you, also Zhang Bo's father."

"This is Miss Jiang Li, a seasoned wine taster."

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Xu; it's an honor."

"Jiang Tao, you lucky guy, marrying such a beautiful wife, Xiao Xu, good match with Jiang Tao, well done."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang, for the compliment."

After Xu Li greeted Zhang Long and Jiang Li, everyone was acquainted.

"It's getting late, let's head out and chat while we eat later."

"Alright."

"Let's go!"

After some brief chats, at Jiang Tao's prompt, everyone boarded three cars, headed towards Jinghua Pavilion.

As those magnificent golden words "Jinghua Pavilion" appeared before them again,

everyone except Jiang Tao showed varying degrees of amazement on their faces.

Although Zhang Long is a seasoned collector, Jinghua Pavilion's level of private clubs is renowned but rarely accessible.

Zhang Bo and Jiang Li, visiting such a place for the first time, were visibly excited.

After parking, Jiang Tao led the group to Jinghua Pavilion's main entrance.

The two tall and cheongsam-clad reception girls at the door clearly remembered Jiang Tao as a platinum VIP client.

They spoke in unison, "Welcome back to Jinghua Pavilion, Mr. Jiang!"

Jiang Tao glanced at one of them and said flatly:

"Please call the customer manager surnamed Mu, who attended to me yesterday."

"Certainly, Mr. Jiang, please wait a moment."

Very soon, the cheongsam-clad, gracefully poised customer manager Mu Xuezhen came out to greet them.

It was she who attended to Jiang Tao and He Jing yesterday.

Seeing that the woman beside Jiang Tao had changed, but still had high looks.

Mu Xuezhen merely admired inwardly, showing no change in her expression.

"Mr. Jiang, welcome to Jinghua Pavilion! It's our honor that you visit again."

Jiang Tao nodded, saying flatly:

"Manager Mu, arrange a quiet room; today's guests are all my honored guests."

"Certainly, Mr. Jiang, please follow me."

Mu Xuezhen quickly led the group through intricate corridors to a suite more spacious and private than "Yu Tang Chun" yesterday.

After everyone was seated, Jiang Tao didn't bother looking at the menu but casually instructed Mu Xuezhen:

"Today, I want the 99,999 chef's special menu, paired with a case of Moutai."

"Additionally, bring over the bottle of red wine I stored here yesterday."

Today, lunch is likely to be complimentary, so Jiang Tao ordered the most luxurious menu.

"Alright, Mr. Jiang, please wait a moment; I'll arrange that quickly."

Mu Xuezhen's eyes brightened at Jiang Tao's words, bowing as she left to make arrangements.

Storing the wine yesterday turned out to be a key for Jiang Tao today.

Without this half-bottle of wine, proving his point without evidence would have been extraordinarily tricky.
