Many children, many blessings; the story begins with revenge against the beautiful boss.

Cao Kun patted him on the shoulder: "All of this is in the past. Don't worry, your future will only get better."

Xu Lin nodded vigorously.

Since losing his job, no one has ever looked at him properly. Whether it's strangers, classmates, or family, no one has ever given him a shred of real respect.

It was Cao Kun who helped him pick up the dignity he had lost on the ground.

He touched the bank card with ten million in his pocket and secretly vowed to help Cao Kun make the company bigger and stronger.

When we arrived at "Zeng Ji Private Kitchen", the business was indeed booming. It was packed with people inside and out, and even parking was difficult to find.

Cao Kun and Xu Lin got out of the car. Cao Kun instructed Wang Meng, "Find a place to park the car. You two can find a seat at the restaurant and have something to eat."

Wang Meng nodded and led his men to park the car.

Cao Kun and Xu Lin entered the restaurant and went straight to the private room they had arranged.

The private room was very large, with three large round tables arranged in a triangular shape, which could seat more than thirty people.

There were already more than twenty men and women inside, some sitting and some standing.

Cao Kun squinted and looked at them one by one, seemingly recognizing each one somewhat.

However, because so much time has passed, everyone has gained weight, and some have even gone bald, making them difficult to identify.

Xu Lin looked around and whispered to Cao Kun, "Your goddess hasn't arrived yet."

Cao Kun was speechless and kicked him directly.

The atmosphere in the private room was lively. Since everyone hadn't seen each other for over a decade, they naturally had a lot to talk about.

However, the distinctions between them remain clear.

Although they were all classmates, they formed several small cliques.

At the largest round table in the center of the room, everyone was surrounding one person like a star fawning over the moon.

Cao Kun took one look and saw that the short, chubby man with a gold necklace around his neck and a mole on his face was Zeng Gang.

Zeng Gang was surrounded by the crowd and looked rather smug.

He was also holding a woman in his arms. The woman had heavy makeup on her face, but she had a pretty good figure, with a curvy figure.

Cao Kun looked at the woman and felt that she looked somewhat familiar.

Xu Lin introduced him, saying, "That's our high school classmate, Pang Lijuan."

Cao Kun frowned: "Didn't I remember Pang Lijuan marry someone from the northern province?"

Xu Lin shook his head: "I heard that she divorced her husband and returned to Jinning alone. Now she works as a fitness instructor at a gym."

"I don't know how, but I ended up getting involved with Zeng Gang."

Just then, Zeng Gang, who was boasting about himself, suddenly saw Xu Lin walk in with Cao Kun.

He immediately laughed. He was just about to show off when you walked in. It's like a pillow being delivered to someone who's sleepy.

Zeng Gang deliberately spoke loudly:

"Eat and drink as much as you like, it's all on me today! I specially reserved this private room for us old classmates."

"Normally, this private room would earn me several thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan a night, but I'm only letting you use it tonight because you're my classmates."

He looked at Xu Lin as he walked in and said sarcastically, "Old Xu, you deliver so many takeout orders, you must know how good my business is, right? Hahahaha!"

After he finished speaking, he burst into laughter, and the people around him joined in the laughter.

If Xu Lin, who was working as a food delivery driver before, had heard this, he probably would have just silently endured it.

But now, with ten million in his pocket and having just won a great victory in front of his wife's family, Xu Lin has regained his confidence.

Xu Lin rolled up his sleeves and said disdainfully, "What? Zeng Gang, you stinking idiot, want a beating?"

Zeng Gang shrank back, instantly recalling how Xu Lin used to boss him around like a little brother during high school, and his scalp tingled.

But then he thought again, wait a minute, I'm the boss now, what the hell are you, a deliveryman, acting all high and mighty for?

At this moment, the classmate next to them quickly pulled the two apart and began to smooth things over: "You're all classmates, talk things out and don't hurt each other's feelings."

Zeng Gang then gave Xu Lin a provocative look.

Xu Lin raised an eyebrow, ready to make a move.

Cao Kun stepped forward and stopped him, and Xu Lin finally gave up.

Everyone turned their attention to Cao Kun behind Xu Lin. Seeing his extraordinary bearing and recognizing him as somewhat familiar, they all asked Xu Lin, "Who is this...?"

Xu Lin grinned: "What, you don't recognize Cao Kun anymore?"

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on, whispering among themselves, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Even Pang Lijuan, who was standing next to Zeng Gang, couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.

The table Zeng Gang was sitting at was the main table, and it was already full of people.

Cao Kun then led Xu Lin to sit at a table to the left of the main table, right next to Zeng Gang.

At this point, Zeng Gang, having lost face, grew increasingly angry and couldn't help but provoke him:

"Tell me, so what if you were good at studying and fighting in high school?"

"I just went to a culinary school, and now I drive a Mercedes, wear a gold necklace, and am dressed in designer clothes!"

He hugged Pang Lijuan tightly beside him and said smugly, "Having a beauty in my arms, I'm so happy!"

Pang Liju gave a dry laugh, and the scene immediately became somewhat awkward.

Cao Kun was taken aback. These words were clearly not only directed at Xu Lin, but also included him.

Back in high school, he was a good student and a skilled fighter; Zeng Gang wasn't even worthy of carrying his shoes or being his underling.

Now they're getting all worked up, trying to stir up trouble?

He squinted and thought to himself: Why did you have to come and provoke me?

Upon hearing Zeng Gang's words, Xu Lin was filled with rage and almost jumped up to punch him.

Cao Kun reached out to stop him, smiling faintly: "Don't rush to deal with him, Yue Xin hasn't arrived yet."

Xu Lin was stunned for a moment before he calmed himself down, took a deep breath, and sat back down in his chair.

He thought for a moment, then suddenly whispered to Cao Kun, "I've gone to their kitchen to get meals many times, and I know their family situation inside and out."

"The reason Zeng Gang's restaurant is so popular is entirely due to his head chef. He hired an exceptionally talented team of chefs, even though he himself doesn't know anything about cooking."

"Moreover, in order to make more money, he deliberately used pre-made dishes and inferior oil for his customers, saying that the customers wouldn't be able to tell the difference anyway."

"The head chef advised him many times, saying that something bad would happen sooner or later, but Zeng Gang wouldn't listen at all, and the two of them even argued about it several times."

Cao Kun nodded, indicating that he understood.

Without making a sound, he picked up his phone, sent the information to Fu Die, and ordered, "Poach the entire chef team from this restaurant."

Fu Die replied instantly: "Received!"

Cao Kun's lips curled slightly as he put away his phone, leaned back in his chair, and calmly watched Zeng Gang continue his performance.

Sometimes, that's just how fate works. When you're arrogant and domineering, and your arrogance reaches its limit, that's often when you're closest to death.

The more prosperous and glamorous things are, the less clear it becomes of the path we came from.

Zeng Gang never imagined that he would offend Cao Kun just because he said one wrong thing.

What kind of changes are about to occur in his career and his life?
