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

Cao Kun's lips curled slightly as he slowly and deliberately said:

"You secretly manipulated Liu Yong, leading me step by step to the Millennium Bar, wasn't it all just waiting for this day?"

"Stop hitting me... I'll talk, I'll talk, okay...?"

Yuan Xinyi's tears fell in a downpour.

Her delicate makeup was completely ruined, making her look extremely disheveled.

Despite her stubbornness, her body simply couldn't take it anymore.

"I... was sent by the New Continent Consortium of the United States."

As if she had made up her mind, Yuan Xinyi began to explain everything in detail.

"The consortium discovered that your Kunlun Trading has been helping Ukraine procure titanium alloys, and they are worried that you will affect the war between Ukraine and Belarus, so..."

"They told me to try to get close to you, gain your favor, and find a way to get you to stop supplying Ukraine."

Cao Kun scoffed, "With your level of skill, you think you can be a spy?"

Yuan Xinyi said with a sob in her voice, "I didn't want to come either. I'm just a corporate spy, not a professional agent."

"But they said... even if it's exposed, it doesn't matter, you won't do anything to me..."

"Besides, I didn't know you were going to whip me!"

She was on the verge of tears, not knowing why, but the whip felt especially painful.

Despite her training, she still couldn't keep it up.

Cao Kun: "..."

He hadn't expected the shepherd's vines to be so effective.

Since that's the case, let's just give her a few more lashes.

Cao Kun adhered to the principle of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free."

Yuan Xinyi kept begging for mercy, but in the end, she suddenly stopped moving.

Cao Kun looked down.

Huo.

Her face instantly turned bright red, and she cried even harder.

"Cao Kun, you bastard!"

……

The next morning.

"Mr. Yuan, Mr. Yuan, are you alright?"

The voice of his subordinate gently rang in his ears.

Yuan Xinyi slowly opened her eyes, and her consciousness gradually returned to her body.

The images from last night flooded back, and her cheeks burned with a mixture of shame and anger.

She quietly raised her hand to straighten her clothes and looked down to check if there was anything inappropriate about her appearance.

Seeing that the clothes were intact, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His subordinate spoke up again.

"Mr. Yuan, are you alright?"

Yuan Xinyi sat up, suppressing the surging emotions in her heart, and tried her best to make her tone sound calm.

"It's nothing, just a sore throat."

……

Kunlun Trading, Chairman's Office.

Cao Kun leaned back in the boss's chair, looking relaxed, with a hint of pleasure on his lips.

Zhu Mengmeng stood behind him, intently massaging him with gentle and soothing movements.

Wang Meng and Batel stood quietly on either side of him, like two composed statues.

Su Yue walked in carrying a stack of documents, her steps light and brisk.

Seeing that Cao Kun seemed to be in a good mood, he asked with a smile, "Boss, what's making you so happy?"

Cao Kun was still savoring the fun he had last night when he suddenly heard Su Yue speak. He immediately coughed twice to cover his embarrassment.

"Cough cough... It's nothing, what's wrong?"

Su Yue took out an itinerary and reported it to her supervisor in detail:

"Boss, here's the itinerary: Wang Meng and Batel will take you to Hongdu City, Jiangxi Province first."

"Once you've finished dealing with things in Hongdu, head straight to the airport. I've already chartered a private jet to take you to Shanghai."

After listening, Cao Kun nodded in satisfaction: "Well arranged, you're very thoughtful."

Then he casually asked, "Who will be my personal secretary on this trip to Jiangxi Province?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Mengmeng, who was standing behind him, lit up and immediately wanted to volunteer herself.

After all, she and Cao Kun had been inseparable these past few days, and she subconsciously felt that she was the best choice.

However, before she could speak, Su Yue, as if she had anticipated this, preemptively said:

"Boss, I'm afraid Mengmeng will have to stay and help out this time. There are so many things to do at the company, I really can't handle it all by myself."

Su Yue looked at Zhu Mengmeng seriously and smiled, "So this time, let Fu Die accompany you."

Zhu Mengmeng was stunned. She opened her mouth, but didn't dare to refute it at all.

Su Yue maintained a professional smile, but inwardly she scoffed:

You little rascal, you've had enough of the boss these past few days. If I let you come along, you'll start climbing all over me.

……

The wheels sped along, and the scenery outside the window rushed past.

To cope with the fatigue of the long journey, Cao Kun specially brought in the Mercedes-Benz S400L that had undergone extensive customization and modification.

The interior space has been redesigned, and the rear seats have been replaced with a large, independent airline-style sofa.

Equipped with massage and heating functions, you can hardly feel the bumps of the journey while sitting in this mobile luxury cabin.

Cao Kun sat on a large leather sofa, and Zheng Kexin sat next to him somewhat nervously, holding a cup of hot tea in both hands.

Fu Die had already flown to Shanghai to take care of some trivial matters for him.

As she got closer to her hometown, Zheng Kexin became increasingly anxious.

To ease the somewhat dull atmosphere in the car, Cao Kun opened his eyes and took the initiative to start a conversation:

Tell me about your family situation so I can be mentally prepared.

Zheng Kexin took a sip of tea: "Actually, my family isn't poor. We're just an ordinary family, not rich, but not poor either."

"My parents' salaries aren't very high, but they manage to get by."

Cao Kun asked curiously, "Since you were doing alright, why did you refuse to go back after graduation?"

"Finding a stable job back home and living with my parents would be much less stressful than struggling alone in Changting, right?"

Zheng Kexin sighed and said with a wry smile, "Actually... when I was in college at Changteng, I had a boyfriend."

"Our relationship was great back then, and we were even at the point of discussing marriage."

"When I took him home to meet my parents, my mother immediately asked for a dowry of 688,000 yuan, not a penny less."

"The boy's family is not well-off. Although he works very hard, this amount of money is an astronomical figure for him."

"In the end... that's how we ended it."

Cao Kun raised an eyebrow.

Zheng Kexin recounted the story in detail, clearly having kept it bottled up for a long time.

She looked helpless: "In their eyes, the bride price for their daughter is a matter of their own reputation."

"If the bride price is too low, it's embarrassing and will make us a laughing stock among the neighbors and relatives."

Cao Kun: "..."

"Ever since that incident, every year when I go home, I am met with an endless stream of blind dates."

"That's why I escaped to Changteng and decided not to go back. At least I can have some peace and quiet."

At this point, Zheng Kexin looked up at Cao Kun, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes: "But this time, with you here, everything is different."
