To be treated so perfunctorily in front of everyone.

Xu Lili blushed instantly, so embarrassed she wished she could disappear into the ground.

Xu Lin was about to hang up the phone.

Yue Xin spoke slowly and deliberately: "Xu Lin, it's me, Yue Xin."

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a burst of Xu Lin's delighted voice:

"Oh dear, Sister Xin! What happened?"

How did you all end up together?

Why didn't you say you knew each other sooner?

Yue Xin smiled slightly:

"I wouldn't dare presume to be associated with your sister; she's truly amazing."

She was just pointing her finger at me and saying she'd make you fire my boyfriend.

"Me? Fire your boyfriend?"

Xu Lin was stunned.

It took him a while to realize that Yue Xin's boyfriend was Cao Kun.

Fire Cao Kun? Even if Xu Lin had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't have the ability to do that!

Having figured this out, Xu Lin instantly broke out in a cold sweat, his scalp tingled, and even his voice changed tone:

"Sister Xin! Sister Xin, let me explain!"

Xu Lili and I are just ordinary distant relatives.

No, that's not right. I have absolutely no relationship with her.

I don't know her at all!

Xu Lin did not hesitate to begin clearing himself of any wrongdoing.

"Oh, really?" Yue Xin smiled gently.

"That's good. I thought my boyfriend was really going to lose his job today."

Xu Lin, on the other end of the phone, broke out in a cold sweat, already cursing Xu Lili to the core in his mind.

He understood perfectly well.

It must be that stupid idiot Xu Lili who offended Yue Xin and Cao Kun by using her own name.

Although he and Cao Kun were childhood friends, Cao Kun would never do anything to him over such a trivial matter.

But if this adds to the boss's worries during the Lunar New Year, and if Yue Xin whispers in his ear, will his future be any better?

Xu Lin quickly and solemnly assured him:

"Don't worry, Sister Xin! I've never even heard of this Xu Lili!"

This is definitely someone using my name to swindle and deceive people!

You wait, I'm calling the police right now.

Let the police arrest this fraudster and put him in jail for fraud!

Upon hearing this, Xu Lili, who was holding the phone, panicked and screamed, her face drained of color:

"Huh? This... Cousin, are you sure you haven't made a mistake? I'm Lily!"

"What 'Brother Lin' or 'Cousin Lin'?! Who's your brother?!"

Xu Lin snorted coldly without any mercy:

"How dare you impersonate my relative and cause trouble outside? You'll be getting a lawyer's letter soon!"

After saying that, Xu Lin hung up the phone as if avoiding a plague.

Hearing the busy tone from her phone, Xu Lili's face turned ashen.

At this moment, she could clearly understand that she had kicked a hornet's nest today and offended a very powerful figure!

A strong sense of regret welled up inside me.

Even her cousin, whom she regarded as a god, was trembling with fear in front of Yue Xin.

And yet, he had just dared to speak rudely and mockingly to this great Buddha!

If only time could turn back to this morning.

She vowed that she would slap herself hard twice without hesitation.

But now, it's all too late.

Looking at his daughter-in-law, who was completely dumbfounded.

Yue Jianguo's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized that the situation was not good.

He quickly put on a fawning smile, trying to smooth things over:

"Oh dear, my dear niece, look at the mess this has made! It's like the flood has washed away the Dragon King's temple!"

We're all family after all, why make things so tense?

How about this, I'll take the initiative and have Xiaopeng and Lili apologize to you.

Let's just call this a day and move on, okay?

Cao Kun slightly raised his eyelids, his gaze devoid of any warmth, and let out a cold laugh:

"You think it's okay just because you say so? You think it's fine just because you say so?"

Who do you think you are, to presume to negotiate with me?

Yue Jianguo was immediately speechless and his face turned bright red.

He had lived most of his life and had never been so mercilessly insulted to his face.

But now the situation is beyond our control; the other party doesn't even respect the general manager of Kunlun Capital.

It would be incredibly easy to crush their entire family.

Despite all the humiliation he suffered, he could only grit his teeth and swallow it down.

The once arrogant Yue Peng and Xu Lili were now slumped on the sofa like wilted eggplants.

The two men hung their heads in dejection, their eyes filled with deep fear.

They knew in their hearts that their plan to curry favor with the powerful had failed.

I'm afraid even our peaceful days will come to an end because of today's foolishness.

……

The fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Early in the morning, Cao Kun was on the phone with Su Yue.

This is their daily routine phone call.

Su Yue needs to report to Cao Kun on the progress of the company's various businesses.

"Boss, as you instructed..."

The colleagues remaining in the trading department are slowly shifting our funds towards crude oil futures.

Su Yue said methodically:

"It is expected that the entire relocation will be completed before the eighth day of the Lunar New Year."

"That's good."

During the last global silver price surge...

Cao Kun led Kunlun Capital to a staggering $35 billion.

Including his own principal, he had a total of 57 billion.

But then he wired another 20 billion US dollars back to China.

Kunlun Capital currently controls approximately US$37 billion in assets overseas.

Su Yue said somewhat solemnly:

"However, boss, I have some bad news."

Because our company made a big splash in the Silver War,

This has already alerted overseas financial groups.

Now they have joined forces to impose restrictions on us.

"From now on... we probably won't be able to use the lever anymore."

In other words, Kunlun Capital will only be able to use its own funds when trading crude oil futures going forward.

Upon hearing this, Cao Kun frowned slightly.

However, he quickly came to terms with it.

In this crude oil futures operation, he had to rely entirely on himself to make all the market judgments.

If we can't use leverage, then we can't use leverage. Playing it safe and steady is just as good.

After finishing their business, Cao Kun chatted with Su Yue for a couple more minutes.

He has been staying in his hometown of Jinning these past few days with his parents and Yue Xin.

I spend all my time either visiting relatives or staying at home, and I'm getting incredibly bored.

Upon hearing this, Su Yue took the opportunity to extend an invitation to Cao Kun.

She vividly described the stunning scenery of western Sichuan.

"I wish you were here."

She chuckled softly, "The scenery in western Sichuan is just right now. The snow hasn't melted yet, and the sky is exceptionally clear."

The light here in Xinduqiao is exceptionally clear, and the distant snow-capped mountains appear layer upon layer, like a painting.

She paused, then added, "And there are very few people around at this time of year, so every shot you take will be a stunning masterpiece."

Upon hearing this description, Cao Kun's expression shifted slightly.

"Go a little further ahead, cross Zheduo Mountain, and there's an endless snowfield beyond."

It was very quiet; you could hardly hear any of the hustle and bustle of the world.

Cao Kun was immediately moved.
