Shortly after, the three of them left the hotel together and took a car to the Jinning City Investment Promotion Bureau.

Wang Meng was driving, Xu Lin was in the passenger seat, and Zhu Mengmeng was in the back seat with Cao Kun.

The group of people inside the car chatted happily in a relaxed atmosphere.

Zhu Mengmeng glanced at Cao Kun's calm profile, a subtle flutter rising in her heart.

Jinning City Investment Promotion Bureau.

As soon as Cao Kun and his two companions arrived at the conference room door, Director Liu, the top leader, personally came out to greet them.

He smiled broadly at Xu Lin and said, "Mr. Xu, welcome, welcome! And this gentleman beside you is...?"

Xu Lin immediately introduced, "Director Liu, this is Mr. Cao Kun, the chairman of Kunlun Trading."

"So it's Chairman Cao!"

Director Liu's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward, grasping Cao Kun's hands tightly with both of them, his tone very enthusiastic:

"I've heard so much about you! So you're the head of Kunlun Trading. You're truly young and accomplished."

Under Su Yue's guidance, Kunlun Trade has gradually begun to emerge on the domestic stage.

In particular, with its business spanning several sectors including foreign trade and MCN, it quickly gained popularity thanks to the hype from its own media.

Although the company is not large, it has become a rising star.

Cao Kun smiled and nodded: "Director Liu, you flatter me."

"No, no!"

Director Liu waved his hand repeatedly: "It is a blessing for Jinning that an entrepreneur like you is willing to invest here."

"Our mission at China Merchants Group is to provide the best conditions for high-quality companies like yours."

He changed the subject, tentatively saying, "President Cao, to be honest, Jinning has been focusing on developing several industrial parks in recent years."

"If your company is willing to invest in more projects here, I can offer the most favorable policy support within my authority."

Cao Kun smiled, picked up his teacup and took a sip: "I appreciate Director Liu's kindness, but when it comes to investment, it depends on the company's overall plan."

Director Liu understood the implication in his words, but as long as he didn't refuse on the spot, there was still a chance, so he immediately said:

"In any case, as long as you develop in Jinning, my word still carries weight."

He patted his chest, exuding a touch of bravado: "Anyone who dares to harm you on my turf is going against me, Liu!"

Cao Kun smiled slightly: "Thank you for your support, Director Liu."

"Absolutely!" Director Liu laughed and took out his phone: "Let's add each other's contact information. You can contact me directly if you need anything."

Cao Kun took out his phone, and the two exchanged contact information.

Director Liu grinned from ear to ear: "President Cao, if you need anything in the future, just tell me, and I will do my best to cooperate."

"Then thank you very much, Director Liu." Cao Kun stood up and politely shook hands with him again.

"Don't be so polite! We're all family."

After the meeting, Director Liu personally escorted the three to the door, his humble attitude almost surprising Zhu Mengmeng.

Standing behind Cao Kun, watching him chat and laugh with Director Liu, her eyes welled up with tears again.

She had met Director Liu once before when he visited her real estate company, acting all arrogant and haughty.

Even the chairman, who usually acts arrogantly, has to be humble and speak with a smile in front of him.

But now, Director Liu is all smiles and pleasantries in front of Cao Kun, his tone completely different from before.

Zhu Mengmeng's heart was pounding.

……

When I returned from the China Merchants Group, it was already getting dark.

Cao Kun returned to the hotel, where Yue Xin had already finished work and was waiting for him in the presidential suite.

When he pushed open the door, a hint of shyness flashed in Yue Xin's eyes.

She said casually, "I told my parents today that they'd like to meet you and invite you over tonight."

Cao Kun smiled slightly: "Alright, it's time to meet your uncle and aunt."

Yue Xin looked a little shy, tossed her hair, and whispered, "Then let's go together later."

The two prepared gifts and rode in Yue Xin's Panamera to Yue Xin's house.

Yue Xin's home is located on a quiet street in the old city of Jinning, surrounded by an elegant environment and shady trees.

It was a three-story villa with beige paint on the exterior walls and flowers and plants growing on the windowsills.

The house is quite old, but it doesn't look worn out; instead, it exudes refinement and sophistication.

This is commonly known as "old money style".

Cao Kun nodded to himself.

Such a house is clearly not inhabited by nouveau riche, but by a wealthy family with a solid foundation.

Yue Xin pushed open the door to her home, which was brightly lit and filled with laughter, but no one came forward to greet her.

Cao Kun frowned slightly and paused in his steps.

What does this mean? Are you trying to intimidate me?

Yue Xin's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant.

She glanced back at Cao Kun with some difficulty, her bright eyes filled with worry.

Yue Xin hadn't expected this to happen.

Her parents had been urging her to remarry soon, and when they heard that she was bringing someone back, they specifically asked her to bring him over to meet them.

But the current situation is clearly not right.

Cao Kun remained calm, gently patted her hand, and spoke in a low voice.

"It's alright, let's go inside and take a look first."

The two entered the villa, where the interior was exquisitely decorated, with a spacious and bright living room occupying an entire floor.

A crystal chandelier casts a soft light on the ceiling, while the walls are lined with expensive mahogany furniture, and the coffee table is laden with various fruits and snacks.

Seven or eight people were sitting on the sofa, each dressed smartly and exuding an air of authority, chatting and laughing.

They immediately noticed Yue Xin and Cao Kun's appearance, and their laughter came to an abrupt halt.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.

Cao Kun remained calm, his gaze sweeping over the crowd indifferently.

Yue Xin's brows furrowed; she had a vague premonition that this meeting would not be so easy.

She pulled Cao Kun along and pointed to a middle-aged couple on the sofa to the left, introducing them as follows:

"Cao Kun, these are my parents."

Cao Kun smiled and nodded, handing the gift he had brought to the nanny: "Hello, uncle and aunt, my name is Cao Kun."

Yue Xin's father, Yue Jianhua, nodded and smiled at him, about to say something, but was stopped by his wife, Zhao Wanru.

Yue Xin turned her gaze to the sofa on the right, where two men were sitting.

Their eyes held undisguised hostility as they coldly sized up Cao Kun.

The first to be hit was a short, stout middle-aged man.

His name is Zhao Guoqiang, and he is Yue Xin's maternal uncle.

The moment Yue Xin saw him, a hint of annoyance flashed in her eyes.

This Zhao Guoqiang, under the guise of "caring for his niece," has been arranging various blind dates for her without her consent.

He dared to bring all sorts of oddly shaped nephews and nieces over to show Yue Xin.

Unfortunately, Yue Xin's parents were most susceptible to his charm, making them one of the people who gave her the biggest headache.

Upon seeing the two enter, Zhao Guoqiang immediately put down his teacup, put on a smile, and said in a loud voice:

"Oh, Xiaoxin, you're finally back! Come on, don't just stand there, sit down!"
