Cao Kun was taken aback. He had originally planned to take some time to go back in the next few days.
Recently, the company's affairs have been basically on track, and he was thinking that after everything was arranged, he would go home to see his parents.
I also want to improve my family's living conditions.
The two elderly people in the family have long been retired, they have pensions, and they are still in good health.
On ordinary days, he simply fishes, plays ball, dances, and plays cards, living a leisurely and carefree life.
The only thing that worried the elderly couple was Cao Kun's reluctance to get married and have children.
That's why Cao Kun didn't rush home after he became successful, lest he be nagged again.
But at this moment, the mother's voice was clearly off, trembling and choked with sobs.
Cao Kun's heart tightened, and he frowned, pressing for an answer:
"Mom, what happened? Don't panic, tell me slowly, what's wrong? Are you and Dad alright?"
"Your health is alright..." The mother's voice was low, sounding somewhat hesitant.
"So what exactly happened?" Cao Kun asked in a slightly somber tone.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed only by the sound of the mother taking a soft breath.
"Mom?" Cao Kun's tone became urgent.
"If you don't tell me now, I'll book a flight back right away, and I'll find out myself then. What's the point of keeping it from me?"
His shout finally broke Xu Ruyun's restraint, and she choked out, "I can't hold back anymore."
"Your dad... he participated in a fundraising project and invested all the money the family had saved for you to buy a house, but... now something bad has happened."
"What?" Cao Kun frowned sharply, his face instantly darkening.
The mother continued:
"Your dad has been acting strangely these past few days. He's locked himself in his room, not eating or sleeping, and sighing all day long."
"He finally fell asleep, so I dared to call you, Kunya. Could you come back for the National Day holiday?"
Cao Kun's heart tightened: "Just how much was lost?"
"Eight hundred thousand..."
"Only 800,000?" Cao Kun breathed a sigh of relief, his tone softening immediately.
"Mom, don't worry, it's just that we were scammed out of some money. As long as we're safe, we can always earn more."
Xu Ruyun sighed, "But this money was originally intended for your wedding and to buy you a big house... Now it's all gone, and your wedding..."
At this point, her voice choked up slightly:
"But don't blame your dad. He just saw that the project had high interest rates and thought he could save more for you. Who knew he'd get scammed, boohoo..."
Cao Kun quickly comforted her, "Mom, don't cry. This little bit of money is nothing. I just finished a big order, and the commission alone is hundreds of thousands."
"I'll transfer 200,000 yuan to you first. Don't be too sad, Dad. I'll go back to see you tomorrow."
He knew his parents' personalities very well; if he rashly told them that he had made a fortune, they wouldn't believe him.
Even if you send them a large sum of money, they won't dare to accept it; instead, they'll be worried.
Only when our own people go back and see for themselves will they feel at ease.
Xu Ruyun was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said, "Why are you sending us money? We have retirement pensions, which are enough for us. You can keep it for yourself."
Cao Kun's tone was very firm:
"Alright, stop trying to persuade me. Just listen to me. I'll take care of things at the company and go home first thing tomorrow morning."
Xu Ruyun was stunned. She usually didn't have much of her own opinion and always listened to her husband in all matters at home.
Now that my son is all grown up, it's only natural for me to listen to him.
"Oh, okay," she replied softly.
Cao Kun instructed, "You're responsible for keeping my dad calm and making sure he doesn't do anything foolish. I'm taking the early morning flight back tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Cao Kun's face darkened.
After a moment's hesitation, he went to the living room and made a phone call to the spirit fox.
A moment later, the fox spirit pushed open the door and entered: "Boss, what's the matter?"
Cao Kun briefly explained the situation to him, and said with a serious expression:
"Take a few people there immediately and investigate the specific situation."
"At the same time, establish an intelligence branch there, and depart tonight."
He paused, then added, "The money and personnel were all transferred from the security company."
The fox spirit's expression hardened, and it nodded in response, "Understood."
After saying that, he turned and left to carry out the order.
……
Early the next morning.
Cao Kun arrived at the company early and found Su Yue: "I'm going back to my hometown later, can you book me a plane ticket?"
Su Yue was taken aback: "Why go back to your hometown?"
Cao Kun gave a brief overview of the situation.
Upon hearing that Cao Kun's parents were in trouble, Su Yue became anxious and offered, "How about I go back with you?"
Cao Kun shook his head: "If you come with me, who will look after all this stuff at the company?"
Su Yue insisted, "But you can't be without a secretary, can you? Who will arrange everything—food, clothing, shelter, transportation, and all sorts of miscellaneous tasks?"
Cao Kun retorted defiantly, "Don't you think I can handle things myself without you?"
Su Yue's breath hitched. "For so many years, I've been the one handling your miscellaneous affairs. Don't you have any self-awareness?"
But who can blame us when Cao Kun is the boss?
She thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll arrange for my secretary to take care of your food, clothing, and accommodation during this period."
Cao Kun was taken aback: "Your secretary?"
Su Yue smiled and said mysteriously, "You'll definitely like it."
A short while later, a beautiful woman walked in and greeted Cao Kun and Su Yue: "Hello, boss. Hello, general manager."
She is about 1.7 meters tall, with short hair that falls over her shoulders, and has a capable yet intellectual air about her.
She is tall, fair-skinned, and has delicate features. She exudes the aura of a sophisticated urban woman in every gesture.
Cao Kun was taken aback: "I've met all your secretaries before, where did this one come from?"
Su Yue smiled and said, "Her name is Fu Die. She's a top student from Peking University. I recruited her into the company right after she graduated."
Cao Kun activated the system scan function:
Name: Fu Die
Age: 22
Education Level: University
[Bare face: 88 points]
[Body Shape: 88 points]
Number of riders: 0
[System Note: Meets requirements]
Cao Kun was taken aback, then his eyes lit up slightly. He was in a hurry to go back to his hometown this time, and he didn't plan to bring any women back with him.
Cao Kun didn't want his women to suffer the hardship of traveling. Since they were all pregnant, he didn't want them to go through the trouble of traveling.
It's quite convenient to have someone take care of his daily life.
When there's something to do, the secretary can handle it; when there's nothing to do...
Cao Kun nodded: "You arrange a plane now, and we'll go directly to Jinning."
Fu Die said, "Okay, boss." Then she turned and left.
After she left, Cao Kun turned to Su Yue and said casually, "With you here at the company, I feel at ease."
"You can decide on expenses not exceeding one million. Just let me know in advance if it's under ten million."
Su Yue felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing this, and a touch of emotion flashed in her eyes.
Cao Kun's feelings for her were not only an affirmation of her abilities, but also a trust placed in her.
She nodded earnestly and said, "Okay, boss, don't worry, I will definitely manage the company well and wait for you to come back."
