Seeing his astonished expression, Xu Guolong softened his tone slightly and explained:

"Xiao Cao, besides my role at work,..."

Privately, he is also the current head of the Xu family in Beijing.

If we're just chatting privately as friends today,

If you give me some tea, everything will be fine.

But not today. I'm here on behalf of my company.

Therefore, everything must be done strictly according to the rules and handled officially.

You understand what I mean, right?

Cao Kun was immediately filled with dread.

He sat up straight, his expression becoming extremely solemn:

"Then... why did your company shield me from such a huge problem?"

Xu Guolong did not rush to answer.

He slowly pulled out a crumpled box of cigarettes.

Cao Kun glanced at it.

The cigarette box packaging was extremely simple, with no product barcode or price tag. It was pure white with only a cute little panda pattern and the four inconspicuous red words "For Internal Use Only".

"I don't have any good cigarettes here, these are issued by the company, you'll have to make do with one."

Xu Guolong took one out and handed it to Cao Kun.

Cao Kun was flattered and quickly extended both hands to respectfully accept the gift, saying flatteringly:

"Brother Long, you're joking. This kind of cigarette is definitely a high-quality cigarette that you can't buy even if you have money."

Xu Guolong smiled and ignored Cao Kun's pointless flattery.

He lit one for himself, took a deep drag, and then slowly began to speak:

There's a reason why your company is willing to help you.

Because right now, the company happens to need someone who can get things done.

Cao Kun was taken aback, his hand holding the cigarette pausing slightly: "Someone capable of getting things done?"

hiss……

He gasped inwardly, his mind racing with calculations.

This kind of job isn't easy to get.

If handled well, it might bring immense wealth and honor, but if handled poorly, it could lead to utter ruin.

And even now, he still hasn't been able to confirm Xu Guolong's true identity.

"Well... Brother Long, it's my honor that you think so highly of me."

But I, Cao, am just an ordinary person, and I'm afraid my abilities are limited and I'm not up to the task..."

Cao Kun carefully considered his words, attempting to politely decline.

"Hey, Xiao Cao, you don't need to rush to refuse."

Xu Guolong waved his hand to interrupt him, and said meaningfully:

"You started as a penniless salesperson,

In just six months, he single-handedly built a behemoth like Kunlun Capital.

If you dare to say you're an ordinary person,

Then all the merchants in the world would probably line up to jump off buildings!

Xu Guolong flicked off his cigarette ash, his tone becoming deep and somber:

"Actually... the higher-ups have been watching you quietly all along."

Upon hearing this, Cao Kun felt a sudden tremor in his heart, and a layer of cold sweat instantly seeped out from his back.

What was bound to happen has finally happened.

But since the system has given him the ability to make a fortune, how could he possibly resist using it?

As long as he remains in this market, he will eventually be noticed.

Moreover, Xu Guolong was able to chat with him in a friendly manner at this moment, and even took the initiative to help him out of a predicament.

This shows that the higher-ups do not harbor much hostility towards them.

Although Cao Kun's heart was in turmoil, he remained calm and composed on the surface.

Xu Guolong took in his reaction and couldn't help but nod inwardly.

He was very satisfied with Cao Kun's performance, secretly thinking that he had indeed made the right choice this time.

"Brother Long, you really flatter me."

I was just a little luckier than others.

"I don't deserve such praise."

Cao Kun smiled wryly and said modestly.

"Hehe... Cao Kun, Cao Kun, your biggest flaw is that you are too modest."

Xu Guolong chuckled softly, his eyes suddenly becoming incredibly sharp:

"Let's not talk about business matters."

Both successive young masters of the Qian family in Jiangnan fell into your hands.

He Yinan, the young master of the He family in the capital, was so angered by you that he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage.

These methods are definitely not those of an ordinary person!

Cao Kun: "..."

Holy crap, they even found out all of this?!

"Uh... Brother Long, actually those were all just accidents..."

Cao Kun wanted to explain.

Xu Guolong waved his hand magnanimously:

"Don't worry, Xiao Cao, I'm not here to bring up old grievances with you today."

The little thing between you and the He and Qian families

Your workplace will usually step in and help you sort things out.

They will never dare to cause you trouble again.

His tone became extremely serious:

"The withdrawal of the investigation team is a demonstration of our sincerity."

And you can rest assured.

Regardless of how our discussion went today,

The investigation team will absolutely not set foot in Kunlun Capital again.

Cao Kun was completely shocked when he heard this.

The head of the He family went to great lengths and used countless connections to finally organize the investigation team.

Xu Guolong withdrew the order with just one sentence, and even gave himself sufficient assurances!

Getting things done at work is indeed very efficient.

This shows a great deal of sincerity.

Cao Kunqian chuckled twice, rubbed his hands together, and tentatively asked:

"So, what specifically do you... or rather, your company, want me to do?"

Xu Guolong didn't answer directly, but instead picked up his teacup, took a sip, and chuckled.

Let me give you a simple analogy.

"In a remote mountain village, there lived a local bully who terrorized the area."

He relied on his physical strength and numerous henchmen.

They always ruthlessly exploited and oppressed the people in the mountain villages.

All the common people were required to pay him generous tributes on time.

If you disobey his orders, he will punish you severely without mercy, perhaps even beating you half to death.

Xu Guolong's eyes deepened, and his voice grew low:

"In that village, everyone had to abide by the rules set by the bully."

If he tells you to farm, you have no choice but to obediently farm.

If he tells you to raise silkworms, then you have no choice but to raise silkworms.

Anyone who dares to do something he doesn't allow behind his back...

The bully will still gather his men to beat him until he submits.

"But one day, there was a family in the village,"

Through generations of hard work, they finally managed to have enough to eat.

After regaining their strength, the family began to train their bodies in order to protect themselves.

However, this behavior inevitably challenges the authority of the bully.

Xu Guolong stared straight at Cao Kun:

"The bully certainly wouldn't just stand by and watch this family grow stronger and stronger."

Finally, they went to challenge his rule.

What will he do then?

He could only achieve this by drafting various unfair terms and conditions, and by uniting with his other lackeys.

They continuously suppressed, blocked, and weakened this family.

"Now, let's assume you are the smartest and most successful son in this family."

What should you do if you are bullied by a thug?

Cao Kun wasn't stupid; he immediately understood the profound meaning hidden in Xu Guolong's metaphor.

The ever-changing global situation is evident to all discerning people.
