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

As soon as he said that, many people around him smiled and nodded in agreement.

Huang Junhao, however, was completely confused and frowned, asking the person next to him:

"Isn't this Director Liu from the Jinling City Investment Promotion Bureau? Why does everyone call him Mayor Liu?"

The henchman next to him lowered his voice and explained:

"Young Master Huang, don't you know? Director Liu is indeed still the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau, but I heard that the appointment of the vice mayor has been finalized, and we're just waiting for the official document!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Junhao's face stiffened instantly, and he had a vague sense of unease.

At this moment, Director Liu stepped forward amidst applause from the crowd.

He was a cheerful person and not very familiar with these rural customs.

As I passed by the ancestral hall, I happened to see Huang Junhao still standing by the door.

Seeing that he was young and had a respectable appearance, Director Liu said with a smile:

"I see this young man has been standing at the door the whole time; he hasn't gone in to burn incense yet, has he?"

Huang Junhao subconsciously shook his head, forcing a smile at the corner of his mouth.

How could he, a member of the Huang family, possibly worship the ancestors of the Cao family?

Unexpectedly, Director Liu casually added:

"How about this, I'll wait until you finish praying before I start talking, so as not to delay you."

This sentence struck like a bolt from the blue.

Huang Junhao was stunned, his face instantly stiffening.

How could he possibly go in to worship at the Cao family ancestral hall?

But to refuse someone who's about to be promoted to vice mayor in front of so many officials and business tycoons...

Huang Junhao wouldn't dare either.

The atmosphere inside and outside the ancestral hall suddenly froze.

Seeing that he didn't move, Director Liu smiled and urged him again:

"Go ahead, don't be shy. Young people should know how to be polite."

Everyone in the room noticed the unusual situation and turned to look.

In an instant, countless gazes pressed down on Huang Junhao as if they were physical.

Some were curious, some were sarcastic, and some were waiting to see the joke.

Huang Junhao's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his heart was pounding.

As the center of everyone's attention, he could feel the pressure that was almost crushing him.

Cao Kun said calmly, "What's wrong, Young Master Huang? Don't waste Mayor Liu's time."

This sentence was like the last straw.

Huang Junhao felt his legs go weak and his knees buckled uncontrollably.

With a "thump," he knelt down on the ground.

The crowd erupted in uproar.

The people of Caojia Village immediately burst into a loud laugh.

"Oh dear, I only asked you to burn incense, not to kowtow!"

"The Huang family has really gone all out with this gift!"

"Fine, fine, I'll accept your kowtow on behalf of Caojia Village!"

Some people even took out their phones and filmed Huang Junhao kneeling on the ground.

Huang Junhao, his face pale, staggered out of the Cao family ancestral hall.

Without saying a word, he pulled his henchman away, looking dejected.

Amidst thunderous applause, Director Liu walked onto the stage and delivered a speech with a beaming smile.

He first praised Cao Kun and Caojiacun with great emotion:

"Caojia Village has produced such an outstanding entrepreneur as Chairman Cao, who is deeply devoted to his hometown and cherishes his native land. This is the pride of the entire Jinning!"

Director Liu said passionately, "As a native of Jinning, Chairman Cao's investment in Jinning will benefit all the people of our village..."

Then he went on and on about Kunlun Trade's investment plans and its contributions to the economy of Jinning City.

Then he abruptly changed the subject, his voice rising sharply as he announced:

"On my way here today, I saw that the village roads in Caojia Village are all dirt roads, and in some places, only one car can pass at a time!"

"This won't do! We can't let Chairman Cao's hometown roads remain in such a dilapidated state!"

"I will make arrangements immediately when I get back to have the government widen this road, turn it into a two-way four-lane road, and pave the entire surface."

"In my opinion, we should call this road 'Caojia Village Road' from now on!"

Immediately, the villagers of Caojia Village below the stage erupted in cheers.

……

night.

The Jinning International Hotel was brightly lit.

Inside the banquet hall, glasses clinked and the atmosphere was very lively.

Yue Xin, dressed in a navy blue dress, exuded elegance and was smiling as she greeted everyone.

Tonight is her celebration banquet for being promoted to branch manager of Jinning branch.

Her rapid rise from deputy bank president to bank president has made many people envious.

Especially recently, Cao Kun deposited over 10 billion yuan into the branch where she works.

This made her the only candidate for president in the eyes of the head office.

This funding almost directly cemented her status.

The banquet hall was filled with clinking glasses and cheerful conversation.

Local political and business officials, as well as bank leaders, all revolve around her.

Those greasy male colleagues were all very attentive, holding wine glasses and circling around her like a swarm of flies buzzing around a flower.

Yue Xin smiled politely but remained aloof.

She was used to such scenes and knew how to maintain a proper distance.

Just as she was about to toast a table of guests, her phone suddenly vibrated.

She glanced at it, her expression changing slightly.

She then put down her wine glass and said, "Everyone, I'm so sorry, I have something urgent to attend to and I have to leave for a bit."

"Oh dear, President Yue, tonight is your promotion banquet!"

"Yeah, if you leave, what's the point of us staying?"

Immediately, some people in the crowd started to grumble and complain.

Yue Xin maintained her smile and said firmly, "I'm really sorry, but I do have something important to attend to. Please enjoy yourselves."

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

At this moment, the head office leader from Shanghai laughed and waved his hand to smooth things over:

"Xiao Yue must have something very important to do. Don't make things difficult for her. She's a great beauty at our bank, and not just anyone can get her to come."

As he spoke, he looked at Yue Xin and said meaningfully, "Little Yue, you need to understand the head office's intention in promoting you to the position of branch manager of Jinning Branch."

"Chairman Cao is one of our key clients, so we must strengthen communication with him and maintain a good relationship with him."

"I heard you and Chairman Cao were classmates? How about you arrange a meal for me so we can get to know each other better?"

Yue Xin smiled slightly: "Okay, I will pass this on to Chairman Cao."

The head office leader waved his hand with a smile: "That's good. You go ahead and do your work. I'll take care of things here for you."

"Thank you, leader." Yue Xin nodded slightly, picked up her handbag, and left the banquet hall with graceful steps.

As night deepened, the lights outside the hotel cast dappled shadows on the ground.

Not far away, a black Maybach G650 was parked quietly.

The car door slowly opened, and Cao Kun got out of the car.

He looked at Yue Xin walking towards him and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Are you done with work?"

Yue Xin smiled slightly, her eyes gleaming with undisguised brilliance.

Cao Kun reached out and took her hand, saying gently, "Let's go, the night is beautiful tonight, let's go see the stars."

Yue Xin nodded gently and obediently let him lead her into the car.

If those bank leaders knew that Yue Xin had abandoned them to go stargazing with Cao Kun, I wonder what they would think.
