Many children, many blessings; the story begins with revenge against the beautiful boss.
Chapter 113 High School Classmates
Zhu Mengmeng returned to the sales center to organize the documents.
Cao Kun politely offered her a ride, but she declined, smiling and saying, "Thank you, Mr. Cao, but I'll drive there myself later."
The convoy arrived at the most famous "Jintai Hotel" in Jinning.
The hall was resplendent in gold, and its antique-style decor exuded an understated luxury.
The Jintai Hotel was extremely busy; they arrived late, and all the private rooms were already occupied.
The group had no choice but to find a spot in the lobby, where they chatted while waiting for Zhu Mengmeng.
Time passed slowly, but Zhu Mengmeng still hadn't appeared.
Cao Kun didn't have the habit of waiting for others; he directly instructed Fu Die, "Have the waiter bring the dishes directly."
Fu Die nodded and turned to leave.
Just then, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind Cao Kun:
"Kun...Ah Kun? Are you Ah Kun?"
Cao Kun frowned slightly upon hearing this.
He left Jinning to attend university and later settled in Changteng. It's been a long time since anyone has called him that.
Cao Kun turned around and saw a man in a worn-out yellow delivery uniform standing there.
Perhaps because he saw that there were many people at Cao Kun's table, his tone was not very confident and his movements were somewhat timid.
The man had several oil stains on his clothes, and several abrasions on his face and exposed arms, which had already scabbed over.
Under the lamplight, there was a hint of weariness in the man's eyes that he could hardly conceal.
Cao Kun was taken aback: "You...aren't you Xu Lin?"
The two were best friends in high school; they fought together, wrote self-criticisms together, and even got locked up together.
Later, Cao Kun went to Changteng University, while Xu Lin stayed in Jinning.
After graduation, he joined a large local company in Jinning, where, like Cao Kun, he worked in sales.
At that time, Xu Lin was doing very well and was a top salesman that everyone envied.
Cao Kun had once envied him, after all, Xu Lin did the same job as him, but didn't have to leave his hometown.
Every time they returned to their hometown, the two would find an opportunity to have a drink together.
But now, when I see him again, the once spirited young man has become like this.
Cao Kun was somewhat incredulous: "How did you end up like this?"
Xu Lin scratched his helmet with a wry smile: "Sigh, don't even mention it. It's all fate that I've ended up like this."
I'm thirty-five this year.
He sighed, his voice hoarse: "I overworked myself too much a few years ago, often drinking and staying up late, which damaged my stomach and liver."
"Later, the company fired me because they thought I couldn't work overtime or drink alcohol."
"I was thinking of taking a break, but my wife wouldn't allow it. She said the household expenses were too high and forced me to go back to delivering food."
"There's no other way. There are six people in my family: me, my wife, my son, my wife's parents, and her younger brother."
At this point, a helpless, bitter smile flashed across his face.
"She said her parents were there to help take care of the baby, but their arrival actually made me feel more pressured."
"We don't have many rooms. She shares one with her child, her parents share one, her brother shares one, and I have to sleep on the sofa in the living room."
"The elderly often get up at night, keeping me awake. A few days ago, I was so tired that I fell while riding my bike to deliver food..."
Upon hearing this, Cao Kun was speechless.
He frowned: "You should send your wife's family back to their hometown. Is this still your own home?"
Xu Lin shook his head with a wry smile, a hint of weariness in his eyes.
"I've brought it up before, but every time I do, she gives me the silent treatment, doesn't talk to me, ignores me, takes the child and wants to go back to her parents' house, and even says that we can just get a divorce."
"My child had just been born then. Could I really make a scene like that? I could only endure it."
He chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Looking back now, I really shouldn't have gotten married."
"My biggest mistake in life was listening to my parents too much and thinking that a man should be settled down and start a family by the age of thirty."
"And what was the result? Home became a shackle binding us."
"For their sake, I have to work day and night like a donkey."
At this point, he looked up at Cao Kun.
He was impeccably dressed in a suit, exuded confidence, surrounded by beautiful women, and had bodyguards protecting him.
And what about yourself?
Xu Lin's eyes suddenly filled with a lot of complex emotions.
He sighed deeply: "Ah, I really envy you. You live so freely, and no one uses your children and family to hold you hostage."
He glanced at the time and said with a hint of helplessness, "Ah Kun, I still have to deliver food, I have to go now."
Cao Kun patted him on the shoulder and said seriously, "Come to my hotel tonight, let's have a good drink, brothers."
Xu Lin was slightly taken aback, then silently nodded in agreement.
Cao Kun watched his figure disappear.
Just then, Zhu Mengmeng drove up to the restaurant in a car with chopped chili fish head.
Her eyes were red, and as soon as she came in, she apologized to Cao Kun repeatedly: "I'm so sorry, Mr. Cao, I'm late."
Cao Kun waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's alright, sit down and eat first."
Zhu Mengmeng pursed her lips, still looking somewhat indignant.
"Mr. Cao, I just... went back to the company, that's why I'm late. I'm sorry."
She said with a wry smile, "I was originally going to ask the manager when my salary and bonus would be paid, since it's been delayed for two or three months already."
But the manager kept giving her bureaucratic answers, making excuses and even subtly implying that she should "be more sensible," which made her feel extremely disheartened.
Fortunately, she was quick-witted and didn't reveal the large order she had in hand beforehand.
Seeing the manager's expression, Zhu Mengmeng understood that even if she could close the deal, she wouldn't get a commission or bonus.
With this in mind, she secretly made up her mind.
Zhu Mengmeng took a deep breath and said:
"Mr. Cao, I'll waive the commission. Tomorrow I'll do my best to negotiate a lower price for you, and try to keep the total price below 80 million!"
"Don't worry, I know the ins and outs, and I'm sure I can save you a lot of money."
Cao Kun asked with some doubt, "What's the benefit of you doing this?"
Zhu Mengmeng gritted her teeth and told him everything that had happened to her, saying frankly that she had long since given up on working at the company.
After listening, Cao Kun smiled, his tone carrying a hint of appreciation:
"I understand. Here's what we'll do: you can come work for my company. You don't need to waste any more time on that dead-end job. Start work tomorrow."
Zhu Mengmeng was stunned for a moment, then her face lit up with joy: "Really? That's wonderful!"
Since the company had been in arrears with her salary for several months, she felt no guilt about changing jobs.
This Mr. Cao is quite capable; following him is much better than suffering mistreatment at my previous company.
……
Late at night, Xu Lin finished his day's work and dragged his tired body to the hotel where Cao Kun was.
He stood somewhat reserved in front of Jinning's top five-star hotel, wearing a yellow delivery uniform.
However, Cao Kun had already given instructions, and a bodyguard had been waiting for him downstairs for a long time.
He walked through the magnificent lobby and went straight to the presidential suite on the top floor.
Stepping into the incredibly luxurious room, Xu Lin was stunned by the furnishings before him.
