Caojia Village, Caojia Ancestral Hall.

The ancestral hall was still decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, as if the joyful atmosphere had not yet faded.

After the ancestral worship ceremony, Cao Kun arranged a three-day continuous feast in front of the ancestral hall.

In addition, he donated millions to repair village roads, damaged houses, and so on.

They also joined forces with other prominent figures in Caojia Village to establish a reading fund.

From now on, any member of the Cao family who has difficulty with their studies can apply for reimbursement from the foundation.

His actions earned him the thumbs-up from everyone in Caojia Village.

First, they repaired bridges and roads, and then they donated money to help students.

Even if someone is jealous, they will be silenced instantly by so many accusations.

There weren't many people in the Cao family ancestral hall that day; several clan elders and village officials were drinking tea and chatting.

Cao Tianyong rushed in, knelt down with a thud, and wailed:

"Uncles and elders, you must help me! I've been ripped off! All the money I had saved up has been stolen!"

Cao Tianyong did not have a good reputation in the village.

He loved to take advantage of small things and never wanted to suffer a loss. He often went to the ancestral hall when there was something to do.

The elders exchanged glances and whispered among themselves, "Is this guy up to his old tricks again?"

Village chief Cao Dejiu frowned and said, "Tell me slowly, what exactly happened?"

Cao Tianyong wiped his nose and cried, "It was Cao Tianheng's son, Cao Kun! He stole my money, a total of 230,000!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire ancestral hall fell silent.

The elders exchanged strange glances.

"Someone come here!"

"Close the ancestral hall door! And call a few more young men over," Cao Dejiu said.

Cao Tianyong was overjoyed. Cao Dejiu was his uncle, and he thought his uncle was going to seek justice for him.

He immediately cried out loudly, "Thank you, uncles and elders, for upholding justice for me!"

Before long, several young men arrived. Cao Dejiu sneered, "Someone come here, bring a rope, and tie him to this pillar!"

Cao Tianyong was taken aback.

"Huh? Uncle! I'm your nephew! Why are you tying me up?"

Cao Dejiu's face flushed red with anger, and his beard trembled: "Cao Kun is such a good kid, how dare you make up such a baseless accusation that he stole your money?"

"Give it a good beating!"

"Snapped!"

The leather whip cracked as it struck Cao Tianyong.

"He's a billionaire boss!"

"Snapped!"

"They've invested billions in Jinning alone!"

"Snapped!"

"Would he be after your two hundred thousand or so?!"

"Snapped!"

"Who do you think you are, to be worthy of being stolen from?!"

"Snapped!"

Cao Tianyong was beaten and howled in pain.

"Uncle, I really didn't lie—"

But nobody paid any attention; only the sound of whips echoed.

Only after he was beaten to the point of near death did Cao Dejiu coldly utter a sentence:

"Let him go, so he'll shut up and stop spouting nonsense! If he dares to falsely accuse Cao Kun again, break his legs!"

……

Nagato International Airport.

Cao Kun, accompanied by his bodyguards and assistants, filed out of the terminal building.

Because there were too many people on this trip, Fu Die simply chartered the entire private jet.

After landing, Cao Kun went directly to the underground parking lot, where a line of cars was already waiting.

The lead car was Cao Kun's modified G-Class, which had already been repaired by Qian Xining.

Following behind was a row of imposing Lexus LX570s.

"Boss!"

With a crisp sound, the door of the lead bright blue G-Class opened, and Su Yue stepped out with a smile.

Behind her, a group of security guards in black uniformly bowed their heads in salute.

Her outfit today is quite formal.

A white shirt tucked into a pencil skirt, revealing long, straight legs beneath black stockings, exuding a sophisticated yet alluring charm.

A month later, her hair had grown longer, making her look dashing and spirited.

"Why make such a big fuss?"

Cao Kun stepped forward and subconsciously patted Su Yue's head.

This has been his habit for a long time; he's liked to do this ever since Su Yue became his apprentice.

Seeing Cao Kun's slightly intimate interaction in front of so many people, Su Yue's face instantly flushed red, all the way to the tips of her ears.

"Ahem... Boss, please get in the car."

She coughed twice to calm herself down, then turned around and surveyed her surroundings with a sharp gaze.

Everyone immediately felt a chill run down their spines.

After making sure no one dared to laugh, Su Yue got into the car with Cao Kun.

The convoy started and drove out of the airport in a grand procession.

As usual, Wang Meng sat in the driver's seat, with Cao Kun and Su Yue in the back.

Su Yue took a thick stack of documents out of her briefcase and handed it over:

"Boss, this is the backlog of company business that you accumulated during your trip to Jinning. Please take a look."

Cao Kun casually flipped through a few pages, then tossed them back into her arms: "You can decide on such a small matter."

Su Yue's lips twitched, somewhat helplessly.

Cao Kun has always been like this.

He entrusted her with all the tasks he considered "unimportant," always citing "training" as the reason.

But the truth is, she was indeed trained into a capable professional woman.

As a result, Cao Kun also slacked off quite a bit.

"How's the company doing lately?"

Cao Kun asked casually.

"Everything is running normally."

Su Yue answered very decisively.

Cao Kun nodded, but he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Since Wang Shengli dared to send the Yanbian duo to assassinate him in Jinning, why didn't he directly target Kunlun Trading?

He pondered for a moment, then asked, "Has Wanhe Group made any moves recently?"

Su Yue thought for a moment, then her expression shifted: "Wanhe Group... did indeed make some small moves recently."

"They tried to interfere with our titanium alloy trading channels and steal our business."

"But strangely, the momentum was quite strong for the first few days, but suddenly there was a complete retreat. The business department said that the project was directly stopped there."

Cao Kun was slightly taken aback, and a guess instantly formed in his mind.

It seems Wang Shengli did take action, but was stopped for some reason.

"In the coming period, we may have some friction with Wanhe Group."

He spoke calmly, yet with an undeniable air of authority.

"Be extra careful and prepare in advance."

Su Yue nodded: "Understood, boss, I'll arrange it."

As clever as she is, she naturally wouldn't ask "why" too many questions; she only needs to know "how to do it."

The convoy drove towards the Fuli Garden villa area.

Upon learning that Cao Kun was returning today, the women in the villa all stayed home early, instead of going to work.

When the bright blue G-Class came to a steady stop in front of the door, a group of women immediately came up to him, chattering excitedly.

Su Yue watched this scene with a nonchalant expression and turned her head away, knowing that Cao Kun probably wouldn't have time to deal with her today.

She walked towards the Mercedes S400 and said to Fu Die and Zhu Mengmeng behind her:

"Get in the car, we're heading to the office. There's a ton of stuff to do."

Fu Die quickly followed.

Zhu Mengmeng responded somewhat reservedly, "Yes."

Su Yue looked her up and down and smiled slightly: "You must be Zhu Mengmeng? You're even prettier than in the photos."
