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

Lin Xiaotang's voice suddenly rose: "I can be a live streamer! I can make short videos and become an internet celebrity!"

"Last time a talent scout contacted me, saying they wanted to sign me as an artist, you absolutely refused! Why? It's not like studying is the only way out!"

It would have been better if Lin Xiaotang hadn't brought it up; the moment she did, the proprietress's face turned even uglier.

"What do you think those talent scouts are? You're too young to understand their intricacies. They're too shrewd."

"Our family has absolutely no capital. If you believe their lies, they'll eat you alive!"

"What about Dad's illness? Are we just going to rely on this run-down noodle shop?"

With tears in her eyes, Lin Xiaotang said, "If I get the signing bonus, at least I can pay for Dad's hospital bills!"

The proprietress trembled slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she said firmly, "Tangtang, no, we can't let your father's illness harm you too!"

"Even if I agree, your father won't. Before he was hospitalized, he told me that even if we don't treat you, we can't let you suffer."

As she spoke, the proprietress wiped her eyes, seemingly quite aggrieved.

Lin Xiaotang was taken aback, and then she realized her parents' good intentions. She rushed over and hugged her mother.

The mother and daughter embraced and wept.

The atmosphere in the noodle shop was deathly silent.

Cao Kun, who had just watched a melodramatic soap opera for free, was speechless.

After listening to all this, it seems... it's all about money?

"Cough cough..."

Cao Kun coughed twice to attract the attention of the mother and daughter.

Then, smiling, he said, "How about I say a few words?"

"Boss lady, is this your daughter? The little one from back then?"

Cao Kun smiled as he looked at Lin Xiaotang, his face full of reminiscence.

He also remembered that when he was in high school, there was always a little girl following behind the landlady, serving dishes and wiping tables. She was very cute.

Unexpectedly, that little bean sprout has grown into a stunningly beautiful young woman.

He exclaimed, "Time flies! The little girl from back then has grown into a beautiful young woman."

The proprietress wiped away her tears and nodded, saying, "Yes, speaking of which, among all those students back then, Tangtang liked you the most."

"After you graduated, Tangtang would often ask, 'Why doesn't that handsome older brother come to eat anymore?'"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaotang blushed instantly and lowered her head, not daring to look at Cao Kun.

Anyone would feel a little embarrassed if their childhood was brought up.

Cao Kun smiled, stopped teasing her, and changed his tone:

"Well then, boss lady, I actually own an MCN company that specializes in training streamers and artists."

"I think Xiaotang has a good temperament and might be suitable to be an internet celebrity. If she's willing, she can come and try working with me."

The proprietress instinctively wanted to refuse.

Cao Kun waved his hand: "Don't be in such a hurry to refuse. I know a few good doctors in Changteng. I might be able to help with your husband's illness."

"Here's what we'll do. I'll give you a number. Go find my secretary, Fu Die, and she'll arrange your hospital and accommodation. All expenses will be covered by me."

"Xiaotang can use this time to receive streamer training at my MCN company. Once you're satisfied, we can consider signing a contract, okay?"

Lin Xiaotang raised her head, bit her lip, and looked at Cao Kun, a hope she had never felt before welling up in her heart for the first time.

Upon hearing Cao Kun's words, the proprietress couldn't help but feel a little tempted.

The MCN companies that had previously approached her either took advantage of her family's predicament to impose harsh conditions and ignored her husband's illness.

Either they harbor ill intentions towards Lin Xiaotang and have designs on her, which makes her, as a mother, instinctively feel disgusted with such companies.

But Cao Kun was completely different; his conditions were very sincere.

The proprietress thought for a moment, then nodded emphatically and said, "I agree!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaotang's face also showed excitement, and she looked at Cao Kun with admiration.

For her, Cao Kun's actions were far more than just providing timely help.

His casual act not only saved Lin Xiaotang's father's life but also helped her realize her life's dream.

But Cao Kun seemed completely unaware of this, simply maintaining a businesslike attitude.

He took out his phone, found Fu Die's number, handed it to Lin Xiaotang, and said:

"Contact Fu Die and tell her that I asked you to contact her. She will arrange everything for you."

"Take your parents to Changteng immediately, don't delay your father's treatment."

"Um!"

Lin Xiaotang nodded emphatically, her beautiful eyes filled with tears.

After dealing with Lin Xiaotang's matter, the spirit fox came over with a strange expression.

"Boss, Zhou Ruiguo's matter... has been taken care of."

Cao Kun was taken aback: "Didn't you say the contact wouldn't arrive for another three hours?"

The fox spirit suppressed a laugh and shook her head: "You should go and see for yourself."

Cao Kun led the group to Zhou Ruiguo's hiding place.

Upon entering the house, a comical scene unfolded:

Inside the rented room, two people were bound tightly like rice dumplings, lying on the ground, with a gleaming knife lying next to them.

Zhou Ruiguo, with a towel stuffed in his mouth, was panting heavily, his face flushed, glaring angrily at another man who had already been knocked unconscious.

Cao Kun paused for a few seconds, then turned to look at the spirit fox.

The fox shrugged and explained with a smile:

"We had barely left when our contact arrived. It seems he had been lurking nearby all along, but he didn't tell the truth on the phone."

"After that guy tricked Zhou Ruiguo into opening the door, he started interrogating him, demanding that he hand over the money he had hidden."

"When Zhou Ruiguo refused, the contact pulled out a knife and threatened him, and the two started fighting."

"Fortunately, our security team was nearby. They rushed in as soon as they heard the commotion and subdued them all in no time."

Cao Kun: "..."

……

late at night.

Cao Kun returned to the hotel and gently knocked on his parents' door.

When Xu Ruyun, the mother, opened the door and saw Cao Kun, her face immediately lit up with joy.

Just as he was about to speak, he noticed that Wang Meng behind him seemed to be carrying someone in his hand.

Xu Ruyun was taken aback: "Cao Kun, what's going on here...?"

Hearing the commotion, Cao Tianheng, who was inside the house, also came over.

Cao Kun's lips curled up slightly, and he raised his chin slightly towards Wang Meng.

Wang Meng understood immediately, and with a quick release, a "plop" was heard.

Zhou Ruiguo rolled straight to Cao Tianheng like a gourd.

Cao Kun said with a smile, "Dad, look who this is."

Zhou Ruiguo lay on the ground, his head and face covered in dirt, his hair a mess, and a rag stuffed in his mouth. He looked utterly disheveled.

Cao Tianheng narrowed his eyes slightly and examined the face carefully for a long time until the image was pieced together in his mind. Then he suddenly froze.

"You are... Zhou Ruiguo? What happened to you?"

Upon seeing Zhou Ruiguo, Cao Tianheng was instantly flooded with many unpleasant memories.

Zhou Ruiguo had previously swindled him out of his money, plunging him into hardship, and those difficult days seemed to reappear before his eyes.
