He put down his cup and got straight to the point:
"I'm here today to ask you for a favor. I have some funds I want to invest in the stock market, the leveraged kind. You have a lot of connections, could you help me figure out a way?"
Qian Xining smiled upon hearing this:
"Leave this to me! I'm the executive director of Changteng Securities. It's just a VIP account opening; I'll get it done this afternoon."
As she spoke, she picked up her phone and dialed a number: "Xiao Li, bring your documents and come to Tengjiang Auto Mall within ten minutes to open a VIP securities account for me."
Less than ten minutes after hanging up the phone, a screeching sound of brakes came from outside.
A young man wearing thick-rimmed glasses ran in carrying documents.
In less than half an hour, Cao Kun's VIP account was already available for login.
Xiao Li pushed up his glasses and introduced himself to Cao Kun:
"Mr. Cao, your account is a premium VIP account at Changteng Securities, which allows you to use leverage up to five times."
"Both buying and selling are done through a dedicated line, and the rates have already been adjusted to the lowest possible level for you. Is there anything else you need?"
Cao Kun nodded. He had thought that it would be great if he could achieve a leverage of two or three times.
Who knew Qian Xining would be so helpful, giving him the full boost right away.
Cao Kun did a quick calculation and found that if leveraged five times, it could bring in a profit of around 5 million yuan if operated properly!
"How was it? Fast enough?" Qian Xining winked at him.
Cao Kun nodded and thanked him with a smile, "Thank you for your help."
As soon as he finished speaking, a system notification sounded in his mind.
He calmly opened the system and saw that it had issued a new series of tasks:
[Task 2: Spend 6 hours in close proximity to Qian Xining (within 3 meters). Reward: 2 Surprise Blind Boxes]
Cao Kun frowned, realizing the mission was tricky.
Six hours, roughly from noon to dinner time.
What reason could I possibly have to stay by her side for so long with a legitimate reason?
He glanced at his watch; the conversation about the account and the car purchase had taken less than 40 minutes.
This task from the system is a bit too difficult!
Cao Kun narrowed his eyes, his mind racing as he considered how to create an opportunity.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he remembered Wang Meng, the bodyguard with exceptional skills that Lao Zhang had mentioned yesterday.
He put down his cup, looked at Qian Xining, and said with a hint of excitement:
"Xi Ning, I'm going to interview a bodyguard today. I've heard he's extremely skilled, one of the best in the industry. Do you want to come with me?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Xining's eyes immediately lit up.
She is a martial arts fanatic and loves to study various fighting techniques.
Hearing Cao Kun praise the bodyguard's abilities, he was immediately intrigued and eager to try his luck.
She put down the teapot and readily said, "If this bodyguard is really as strong as you say, I really need to see for myself! Let's go, let's go now!"
When Cao Kun saw that she agreed, the corners of his mouth turned up. He thought to himself: This way I can interview bodyguards and complete the system task at the same time. It's killing two birds with one stone!
He stood up and said, "Then let's stop dawdling and go!"
The two quickly left the office, jumped into Cao Kun's G-Wagon, and sped off towards Changteng City Children's Hospital with the engine roaring.
Cao Kun contacted Wang Meng by phone yesterday.
The voice on the other end sounded tired. Wang Meng simply said, "I'm at Changteng City Children's Hospital, room 701," and then hung up abruptly.
After Cao Kun hung up the phone, he vaguely felt that Wang Meng's tone was a bit off, but he didn't think much of it.
Today, with Qian Xining in tow, we roared all the way to Changteng City Children's Hospital on the G63.
Before setting off, he made a special detour to a nearby boutique store and picked out several boxes of high-end nutritional supplements and a basket of fresh fruit as gifts to visit the patient.
After thinking for a moment, he took a pink plush bear from the shelf. It was fluffy, cute, and a perfect little gift for children in the hospital ward.
Qian Xining sat in the passenger seat, somewhat surprised to see the trunk full of gifts:
"Mr. Cao, I didn't realize you were so thoughtful. You even prepared a plush bear."
Cao Kun smiled slightly: "One can't visit someone in the hospital empty-handed."
……
Nagato City Children's Hospital.
The air was filled with a faint smell of disinfectant, and the corridor was dimly lit but somewhat deserted.
Cao Kun led Qian Xining slowly to the front of ward 701. The door was not closed, but only slightly ajar.
Just as the two were about to push open the door, they saw this scene.
On the hospital bed by the window, a quiet little girl, about 7 or 8 years old, was half-lying down.
Her face was pale, like a thin sheet of paper, her lips were bloodless, and her thin arms were holding an old, yellowed rag doll.
A towering giant sat on the edge of the bed, his broad shoulders slightly hunched, his tiger-like eyes red and tears welling up in them.
The girl weakly raised her hand and gently stroked her father's cheek, whispering, "Dad, it's alright... Let's go home, we've run out of money..."
Her voice was barely audible, carrying a heartbreaking helplessness, as if even speaking was exhausting her last remaining strength.
Wang Meng's body trembled slightly uncontrollably. He gritted his teeth, his throat bobbing, trying his best to hold back his tears.
As a battle-hardened veteran, he once took down more than a dozen enemies with his bare hands.
But now, faced with his daughter's serious illness, he was powerless to help despite his many skills.
He hated it! He hated that he had such skills, which allowed him to take on side jobs and make quick money.
But every time he faced temptation, he couldn't overcome his conscience and chose to live a simple life.
Now, his daughter's medical expenses are like a mountain weighing him down, making it hard for him to breathe. He hates his own stubbornness and even hates this messed-up world.
At that moment, it was as if a demon was whispering in his ear: "You upheld your conscience, and what did you get in return? You couldn't even save your daughter's life..."
Wang Meng's heart skipped a beat, and for the first time, the scales in his heart began to falter.
He looked down at his daughter's pale face, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and a look of pain and struggle flashed in his eyes.
Cao Kun stood at the door, quietly watching this scene, his brows slightly furrowed.
He cleared his throat, walked slowly forward, and placed the nutritional supplements and fruit basket on the bedside table.
"Wang Meng, how's the child? If you're having any difficulties, just tell me."
Wang Meng turned around and immediately realized that this was the person who had spoken to him on the phone yesterday.
A glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Hello, are you Mr. Cao? Thank you for coming to see my Xiaoya."
Cao Kun shook hands with him; although Wang Meng was tired, his hand was still firm and strong.
Moreover, he had many calluses on his palms, which seemed to be the result of various combat training.
"It was Senior Zhang Zhanxi (Old Zhang) who sent me to find you. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me directly."
Cao Kun introduced him to the situation.
When Wang Meng heard the name Zhang Zhanxi, a hint of respect appeared on his face.
He was slightly taken aback when he heard Cao Kun's purpose for coming.
