The annual meeting concluded successfully, and the employees of Kunlun Capital began to leave one after another.

Everyone had a smile on their face, holding their own gifts in their arms.

Those who won the grand prize were naturally overjoyed, while those who didn't receive a gift weren't discouraged.

Being able to work for such a great company is an immense stroke of luck; what more could one ask for?

Cao Kun turned around and returned to the main table.

At this moment, Yu Ziqi's eyes were full of stars when she looked at him, and the affection in her eyes was almost like a pool of spring water.

The executives present were very perceptive and, seeing this, all stood up to take their leave.

Su Yue also needs to rush back to the company to take charge.

Kunlun Capital has just experienced a large-scale online smear campaign.

Although Cao Kun's intervention temporarily eliminated the negative impact.

However, there is still a possibility that online public opinion could resurface.

Therefore, she had to rush back to the company immediately to try to completely eliminate the aftermath.

Cao Kun and Yu Ziqi left the Beichen InterContinental Hotel one after the other.

The two remained quiet throughout the journey.

Yu Ziqi silently watched Cao Kun's broad back.

Her heart was pounding, and she didn't know how to break the silence.

The two walked to the car, and Yu Ziqi stood obediently to the side, ready to watch Cao Kun get into the car.

Just then, her stomach betrayed her and started rumbling in protest.

Cao Kun paused, looking at her with some surprise: "Didn't you eat at the company's annual party?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Ziqi blushed deeply with embarrassment.

At the banquet, because she was sitting next to Cao Kun, she was so focused on maintaining her ladylike image that she didn't dare to touch her chopsticks much.

Later, he was busy with live streaming and didn't even have time to eat anything.

It's only natural to be hungry after all this late.

Seeing her embarrassed appearance, Cao Kun suddenly chuckled and said, "Get in the car, I'll take you to get something to eat."

"Okay!" Yu Ziqi's face lit up with joy, and she happily climbed into the car.

Cao Kun drove her to the nearby Yangfan Night Market.

This is the largest night market street in Nagato City.

Hundreds of stalls set up every night, and business hours continue until two or three in the morning.

Despite being in the dead of winter and with the Lunar New Year approaching, the atmosphere here is still lively and bustling with activity.

Cao Kun naturally took Yu Ziqi's small hand and led her inside.

The cold night wind made her delicate little face rosy red.

But Yu Ziqi felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey, and felt incredibly happy at this moment.

Not far inside, Cao Kun spotted a familiar face in the crowd.

Chen Anni was wearing a thick white winter coat, which covered her tall figure completely.

He was carrying steaming hot fried rice and moving back and forth between a few simple tables and chairs.

Not far away, Chen Zhiqiang and his wife were standing behind a brand-new stainless steel late-night snack cart, enthusiastically stir-frying rice.

Chen Anni was actually helping her parents sell fried rice at the night market.

In just a few days, Chen Zhiqiang actually bought a new night market food cart and resumed his old business at Yangfan Night Market.

His cooking skills were excellent, and a long line of customers had already formed in front of his stall, eagerly waiting to pick up their food in the cold wind.

This is a stark contrast to his previous gloomy and miserable appearance when he was being pressured for repayment of debts.

Now, Chen Zhiqiang's family members all have relaxed and happy smiles on their faces.

The family of three occasionally exchanged glances amidst their busy work, their eyes revealing genuine smiles.

The suffocating debt pressure is gone.

They worked with great enthusiasm, and the scene of the family supporting each other was particularly warm and happy.

Cao Kun led Yu Ziqi to an empty seat in a corner and turned to ask, "Would you like some fried rice with egg?"

As Yu Ziqi smelled the aroma of scallion oil and eggs wafting in the air, her stomach began to rumble even louder.

But when she looked at the long queue, she hesitated for a moment and then shook her head.

Cao Kun raised an eyebrow: "Don't you like fried rice?"

Yu Ziqi quickly waved her hand and explained, "No, I want to eat it."

But there are so many people ahead of me, I can't just leave you here waiting, can I?

Cao Kun smiled slightly upon hearing this: "Believe it or not, I can just use facial recognition there and skip the queue?"

Yu Ziqi stared at him with her big, watery eyes, her face full of disbelief.

Cao Kun chuckled, stood up, and walked straight toward Chen Anni.

"Annie, what are you doing here?"

Chen Anni was tidying up the table when she suddenly noticed someone approaching and was startled.

She looked up and took a closer look, only to find that the person who had come was actually Cao Kun.

A bright smile immediately bloomed on her face: "Honey, what brings you here? Isn't the company having its annual party today?"

Today is her regular day off.

The other women in the villa were too far along in their pregnancies to go out, so they didn't join in the fun at the annual party. She decided to go and spend time with her family instead.

Cao Kun replied gently, "I just finished the annual meeting and happened to pass by the night market, so I came in for a look."

He pointed to the smoky, oily food stall and asked, "What are you doing here...?"

Chen Anni smiled a little shyly.

Ever since Cao Kun stepped in to help resolve the family's huge debts.

Chen Zhiqiang, the father, suddenly found himself with nothing to do. He felt restless and uncomfortable all over, as if everything around him was irritating.

After discussing it, the elderly couple decided to set up a stall again at the night market near their home, which could be considered as returning to their old profession.

However, this time, without the heavy burden of debt repayment, the elderly couple simply wanted to find something to do.

They only operate from 5 pm to 10 pm each day.

When Chen Anni occasionally goes home to visit her parents, she will come over to help serve the dishes.

Seeing her father looking radiant after taking over the cooking again, she didn't stop him anymore.

Cao Kun nodded in understanding.

Chen Anni asked sweetly, "Honey, are you hungry? I'll ask my dad to fry you some rice."

Cao Kun nodded in agreement: "Two bowls, please. I've brought a guest with me tonight."

After saying that, he turned around and pointed to Yu Ziqi, who was sitting obediently not far away.

Chen Anni looked in the direction he pointed, and froze the moment her gaze fell on that figure.

She naturally recognized Yu Ziqi, who is currently Kunlun Media's most sought-after and popular leading lady.

There have been some rumors circulating within the company.

Rumors circulate that the big boss Cao Kun and this innocent-looking female anchor have a close relationship.

Seeing the two of them strolling through the night market together late at night, her expression immediately became somewhat strained, and she felt a pang of sadness.

Chen Anni tried hard to suppress the strange feeling in her heart and forced a smile:

"Okay, okay, I'll go ask my dad to cook it right away, and I'll bring it over to you in a bit."

Before long, two steaming bowls of egg fried rice were served.

Because Chen Anni had specifically instructed him, Chen Zhiqiang put in his best effort.

These two bowls of fried rice were perfectly cooked, with each grain of rice distinct and coated evenly with golden egg. They were also topped with bright green scallions, making them a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate.
