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

After hanging up the phone, Cao Kun felt confident, but he remained outwardly calm.

Not long after, the low hum of an engine came from afar, and a black bus with a Jinning City license plate slowly drove into front of the Cao Family Ancestral Hall.

The ancestral hall greeter strode forward and called out in a loud voice:

"A warm welcome to Director Liu of the Jinning City Investment Promotion Bureau for visiting the Cao Family Ancestral Hall to burn incense!"

This shout attracted everyone's attention.

The Huang family members, who had been swaggering around in front of the Cao family ancestral hall, all turned to look at the car.

The car door opened, and a middle-aged man in a sharp suit with an air of distinction stepped out, followed by two men who appeared to be his secretaries.

Huang Junhao was taken aback for a moment, then sneered, "Tch, turns out he's just a section-level cadre. I thought he was some big shot."

As soon as he finished speaking, the loudspeaker at the Huang Family Ancestral Hall across the street started blaring again.

"A warm welcome to the County Head of Linchuan County for visiting the Huang Family Ancestral Hall to burn incense and pay homage to our ancestors!"

Huang Junhao immediately raised his chin and smiled smugly: "Look, we also have a division-level cadre here, and he's even the county head. Isn't his rank higher than his?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across the faces of many people at the Cao Family Ancestral Hall.

Just as Director Liu entered the ancestral hall and was about to offer incense, he suddenly heard an announcement from the Huang Family Ancestral Hall across the street, and his brows furrowed slightly.

He glanced at the empty guest seats, a thought struck him, and he casually said to his secretary beside him:

"Xiao Zhang, call the county magistrate of Linchuan County and tell him I'm at the Cao Family Ancestral Hall."

The secretary understood immediately and went to the side to dial the number.

Huangjia Village.

The Huang Family Ancestral Hall was also brightly decorated, with gongs and drums beating and firecrackers exploding.

On the stage, the actors are singing and performing "Farewell My Concubine".

As Yu Ji on stage sang "I am willing to die for the king," applause erupted from below, and the Huang family members couldn't stop smiling.

Unlike the solemn and dignified atmosphere at the Cao Family Ancestral Hall, this place was more lively and bustling, with guests gathered and a joyous atmosphere prevailing.

Just then, the county head of Linchuan County received a phone call.

After hearing just a few words, the county magistrate's expression changed.

With each sentence he heard, his back bent more and more, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on his back.

"Hey, Secretary Zhang, this is Xiao Wu..." County Chief Wu bowed and scraped.

"Yes, yes, I'm in Huangjia Village right now. No, no... I just came to take a look."

"Ah? Director Liu...!" County Magistrate Wu looked somewhat surprised.

"Yes, yes, I understand, I'll be right there!"

County Chief Wu hung up the phone, his expression turning serious. Facing the Huang family, his friendly demeanor vanished.

Before Huang Wenshan could even try to persuade him to stay, County Magistrate Wu had already turned around and strode out of the ancestral hall.

"County Magistrate Wu? County Magistrate Wu! What brings you here—"

Huang Wenshan chased after him, but County Chief Wu didn't even turn his head.

"I have urgent business to attend to, please excuse me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he got into the car.

With a roar of the engine, the car sped away, heading straight for Caojia Village across the street.

As the head of a county, his actions touched the hearts of many.

Soon, a rumor began to circulate among the people.

"Do you know why County Chief Wu left? It's said that Director Liu from the Investment Promotion Bureau is sitting right across from us in Caojia Village!"

"Really?! Even a fool knows that Director Liu becoming the vice mayor is a done deal!"

"Yes! I heard that a very capable person came from Caojia Village across the street. He invested over a billion yuan in Jinning, which is why Director Liu got his position!"

"Director Liu is here to support him!"

"Hiss...is it really appropriate for us to stay here?"

"This isn't just inappropriate, it's downright inappropriate! If you ask me, let's get out of here!"

As some people got up and left their seats, more people followed suit.

The guests initially left in small, scattered groups, but soon they began to leave in waves.

Before long, the once bustling ancestral hall gradually became deserted.

Huang Wenshan's face turned ashen.

He wanted to stop these people, but he was just the richest man in the village. If the county magistrate and other county leaders wanted to leave, could he stop them?

……

Cao Family Ancestral Hall.

More and more celebrities from all walks of life are coming to burn incense.

Not only officials, but also prominent figures from the surrounding villages all came when they heard that Director Liu was here.

The guest seating area originally prepared by Caojia Village was almost full, and even with the addition of several rows of chairs, it was still not enough.

The scene was extremely lively, far surpassing the atmosphere of the Huang family's gathering that morning.

Huang Junhao's face turned ashen.

Looking at the guests in Caojia Village, many of them had just been chatting happily with him in Huangjia's seats.

At this moment, however, he was sitting in the Cao family's seat, chatting and laughing with the Cao family members.

He could imagine what a scene it had become in front of the Huang Family Ancestral Hall.

The scene before him made his face turn extremely pale.

The noise and firecrackers coming from the Cao Family Ancestral Hall felt like slaps to his face.

At this moment, Cao Kun walked over.

Huang Junhao looked at Cao Kun and took two steps back in fear.

There was nothing he could do; ever since that day he was hit and fell into the ditch, he had developed a psychological trauma towards Cao Kun.

Cao Kun raised his voice, "Didn't you just say you were coming to our Cao family ancestral hall to burn incense? Hurry up, stop dawdling!"

Everyone present turned their attention to Huang Junhao, watching his every move with curiosity.

Everyone knows that Huangjia Village and Caojia Village are at odds, and his father, Huang Wenshan, is the richest man in Huangjia Village.

If Huang Junhao were to visit the Cao family's ancestral hall, it would be tantamount to Huangjia Village surrendering to Caojia Village.

You should know that Caojia Village has been suppressed by Huangjia Village for so many years, but no one has ever gone to worship at Huangjia Ancestral Hall!

Huang Junhao was taken aback: When did I ever say I was going to burn incense at the Cao family ancestral hall?

He may be a bit dim-witted, but he's not stupid. Of course, he understands what it would mean if someone of his status went to the Cao family ancestral hall to burn incense.

But seeing Cao Kun's ambiguous smile, Huang Junhao felt a chill run down his spine.

He was terrified that Cao Kun would take a hard line against him.

There are some people in this world who, before encountering a truly ruthless person, always enjoy being brave and aggressive.

They thought that their usual bullying behavior was ruthless.

But when they encounter someone like Cao Kun, who is unreasonable and ruthless, they become cowardly.

Because Cao Kun really dared to take his life.

Huang Junhao quickly stepped back two steps, standing just outside the ancestral hall.

Here, near the guest seating area outside the ancestral hall, Cao Kun couldn't very well make a move against him directly under everyone's watchful eyes.

"I'm standing right here, with so many people watching me, and you can't do anything about it."

Huang Junhao thought to himself smugly.

As the sacrificial ceremony was about to begin, the drums and music gradually subsided, and the noise inside and outside the ancestral hall gradually quieted down.

Several respected elders exchanged glances, then walked to Director Liu's side and respectfully said:

"Mayor Liu, since you are of the highest rank, please say a few words first."

Director Liu quickly waved his hand, smiling as he declined:

"Hey, don't call me that. I'm still the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau. The appointment hasn't been officially announced yet, so you can't say anything carelessly."
