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

Cao Kun stood up and stretched:

"Alright, everyone, thank you for your hard work. That concludes this week's work."

Have a good rest over the weekend, and come back to work on Monday.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Li sighed with a wry smile:

"Hey boss, how am I supposed to get a proper rest?"

"Such a large sum of money is hanging in mid-air."

It felt like the Sword of Damocles was constantly hanging over my head.

I don't think I'll be able to sleep this weekend.

I had to keep refreshing the news day and night, praying that no bad news would come out.

Xiao Li looked very worried:

"Otherwise, given today's strong closing trend,

The market will likely continue its upward trend when it opens next Monday.

Cao Kun walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled calmly:

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

……

Saturday, Flourishing Garden.

Cao Kun sat in his study, casually flipping through the work briefing that had just been delivered.

Cao Kun frowned slightly as he looked at it.

The report shows that the acquisition of the four short video companies that Cao Kun used as a smokescreen to lure He Yinan into competing for were actually progressing very slowly on He Yinan's side.

Su Yue only found out after asking that this young master He wanted to show off but didn't want to spend much money.

They are using the He family's power to put pressure on those companies, attempting to "get something for nothing."

"Damn it, they're nothing special, stingy and cheap, and they dare call themselves a prominent family in the capital?"

Cao Kun chuckled, his eyes darting around, a wicked smile creeping onto his lips:

"It seems the fire isn't burning bright enough; we need to add more fuel."

After saying that, he picked up his phone and dialed He Yinan's private number directly.

……

The He family's villa in the capital.

He Yinan was quite surprised to see the name "Cao Kun" on the caller ID.

What did Cao Kun want when he called at that moment?

Could it be that he knows he can't compete with the He family and wants to admit defeat?

As soon as the call connected, He Yinan's smug voice came through:

"Hey, Cao Kun? What's this? Planning to call and admit defeat? Hahahaha..."

"Hehe, Young Master He is overthinking it."

Cao Kun's lazy voice came from the other end of the phone, tinged with sarcasm:

"I'm just really puzzled. These are the companies I've been eyeing, but they probably won't be of much use to you, right?"

Why do you insist on following behind and acquiring this thing?

He Yinan felt a surge of pride, thinking he had finally gained the upper hand, and said arrogantly:

"I'm useful, of course I'm useful! That's my strategic vision!"

However... if you're willing to beg me, kneel down and call me grandpa, maybe I'll be in a good mood and leave you some scraps...

"Begging you? Who do you think you are?"

He Yinan was stunned, not expecting Cao Kun to start cursing right away, and was furious:

"Kid, do you know who you're talking to? Do you know the consequences of talking like that?"

Cao Kun sneered: "What, you'll let me go if I say something nice?"

No matter what I say, aren't you just trying to mess with me?

"Since you're going to mess with me anyway, why should I be polite?"

He Yinan: "..."

He was speechless for a moment.

He was born into a wealthy family and was taught aristocratic etiquette and gentlemanly manners.

He's good at plotting and scheming behind people's backs and bullying others.

However, when it comes to cursing, even eight He Yinans tied together wouldn't be a match for Cao Kun.

"You...you rude bastard! You just wait!"

Cao Kun gave him no chance to breathe, continuing his taunts and attacks:

"Alright, alright, stop spouting nonsense."

Looking at your pathetic state, you even have to use connections to exert pressure to buy a lousy company, and even have to pay in installments.

Are you broke? You're a penniless loser.

"If you don't have money, go home and drink milk instead of embarrassing yourself in the business world."

"I'm different from you. I buy companies with real money, I just throw money at them!"

I'll show you what it means to spend money like water, and what true power is!

"Just you wait, I'll go buy all of these companies right now and show you! You poor bastard!"

beep...

After saying that, Cao Kun hung up the phone.

He Yinan was completely dumbfounded, holding the phone.

He grew up in luxury, a privileged second-generation heir born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

I never imagined that one day I would be called a "poor bastard" to my face.

"Damn it! He dares to call me a poor bastard?! He actually dares to call me a bastard?!"

He Yinan was so angry that he trembled all over. He flew into a rage and smashed his phone on the ground.

The bodyguards and assistants around him were stunned.

As a wealthy and influential family in Beijing, the He family was incredibly rich and could not possibly be poor.

"Young Master He, please calm down. Cao Kun is just a nouveau riche who has never seen the world and is arrogant."

"Yes, yes, what does he know? You don't need to get angry with him."

Everyone rushed forward to comfort him.

Ren Tong hesitated for a moment, then cautiously said to He Yinan:

"Young Master He, Cao Kun is using reverse psychology."

"If we were to acquire all of these short video companies, it could be a huge burden on our cash flow..."

"Or, could we get some mediocre companies to work for him..."

"No! Absolutely not!" He Yinan shouted, his eyes bloodshot.

"You simply don't understand my business acumen!"

These companies will produce future industry monopolists!

He Yinan, already dazed by Cao Kun's insults, roared even more confidently:

Even if we let one company escape today

Tomorrow, it could become a game-changer for the entire industry.

This is a business worth hundreds of billions! We absolutely cannot let a small gain lead to a big loss!

"Who does Cao Kun think he is, daring to compete with me? Daring to call me poor?"

"Ren Tong! Help me contact the heads of those companies."

Forget about methods, just throw money at them! I'm going to take them down as soon as possible!

I'll show that nouveau riche Cao Kun who the real power is!

"Yes, Young Master He!" Ren Tong dared not persuade him any further and could only accept the order and leave.

……

After hanging up the phone, Cao Kun leaned back in his boss's chair, smiling as he enjoyed a massage from his secretary, Zhu Mengmeng.

Shortly after, my phone vibrated; Linghu had sent me an encrypted message:

"Boss, the fish has taken the bait."

Enraged, He Yinan decided to abandon pressure tactics and instead opt for a high-priced cash acquisition, targeting the four major short video platforms.

Cao Kun looked at the screen, his smile gradually spreading across his face, like a hunter looking at a silly roe deer that had fallen into a trap.

……

The next morning.

Sunlight streamed into the bedroom, where Cao Kun was fast asleep, his arms around Yuan Xinyi, whose body was as soft as a board.

A sudden, urgent phone call woke him up.

Cao Kun reached for his phone with his eyes closed, and answered it without even looking at it:

"Hey? He Yinan, you're paying your respects to your father so early in the morning?"

He Yinan on the other end of the phone was almost furious at those words. He took a deep breath before yelling:

"You bastard, all you're good at is talking! Didn't you say I was a poor bastard?"

"I'm just asking you, who's got those short video companies now? Huh?"
