Urban drama: Starting with marrying the beautiful and wealthy Jiang Lai

Yang Tao was overjoyed and asked curiously, "Honey, how confident are you about this bull market?"

Cao Meng laughed and said, "Unless the sky collapses and the earth cracks, it will definitely come true."

Just like I predicted, my hot pot restaurant will definitely be a huge success.

Just like when we met at this four-star hotel, you felt disgusted with me, thinking I was a playboy, but the moment I saw you, I knew you would be my wife!

Yang Tao was completely captivated by Cao Meng's sweet words and said in a coquettish voice, "Husband, I believe in you, and you've also had a track record in stock trading."

Here's what I'll do: I'll go back and persuade my mother to mortgage our house to see if we can get 500 million yuan, so that we can have a total of 1 million yuan, which we'll give to you. We'll split the profits 55/000.

I believe that in a year and a half, I will definitely make my mother so happy she'll be flying.

She might even agree to let my sister go with you!

Yang Tao is so sensible; at this moment, she even wanted to give her sister Su Qingquan to Cao Meng.

Su Qing is her sister, who is not related to her by blood, but is her adopted older sister.

Her parents died when she was very young.

She had been living at her aunt's (Taozi's mom's) house. Her aunt treated her like her own daughter, worrying about her marriage and children.

Su Qing also has a husband, Duan Xifeng, with whom she has been married for many years.

The couple lived a simple life and were very loving, but unfortunately they had no children.

The turning point in the story occurs during Su Qing's pregnancy. Duan Xifeng, drunk, has an affair with Deng Jiajia, who is also pregnant.

Su Qing didn't make a scene or argue; she only felt silent pain and a deep reluctance to leave her family.

Cao Meng quickly shook his head and said, "Taozi, don't play matchmaker. Aren't your sister and brother-in-law's marriages very happy?"

Yang Tao's sister, Su Qing, is not pregnant yet, and Duan Xifeng has not cheated on her. Cao Meng has no intention of interfering in other people's marriages.

Of course, the most crucial reason is that Su Qing is too much of a virtuous wife and loving mother; in other words, she is not pretty enough and lacks the motivation for Cao Meng to interfere in their marriage.

Otherwise, if it were a beautiful married woman like Gu Jia, Gu Xiao B, Gu Xiao Yan, or Gu Yao, Cao Meng would have more motivation.

Yang Tao just said that casually.

Not long after, Yang Tao was exhausted and fell asleep with her head on the pillow.

Yang Tao's delicate and perfect face was filled with both fatigue and satisfaction.

"Ding dong! Congratulations to the master for successfully winning the fourth home run of Yangtao. The master is rewarded with physical enhancement, with all attributes increased by 10 points. The master's all attributes are now equivalent to 8 times that of an ordinary person!"

The owner is being rewarded with 10% of the shares in GreenTree Inn, a four-star hotel chain, valued at 10 billion yuan. These shares cannot be cashed out immediately and will be held until 2019 when GreenTree Inn's total market capitalization reaches its peak!

Cao Meng frowned slightly. He didn't really want to enter a chain hotel he wasn't familiar with, so he communicated with the system.

"I'm not very familiar with the hotel industry. Could you tell me about this hotel?"

The system introduced: "Master, you are now an investor in Lin Haotai and one of his important shareholders."

Investing in a project is essentially investing in its people. You only need to understand the founder's basic information to know that the future development is promising.

GreenTree Inn is a professional hotel management group founded in China in 2004 by Xu Shuguang and several American companies. It is now the leading brand of business chain hotels in China.

The boss himself came from China. After graduating from the Automatic Control major at Northview Institute of Technology in the 80s, he went to study in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Southern California.

This person was a top student who won a full scholarship and quickly completed the mathematics department coursework to obtain a master's degree. At the same time, he also pursued computer science and obtained a master's degree in that field ahead of schedule.

In his third year, he pursued a doctoral degree in business administration and was one of the few students to receive the highest doctoral scholarship from the USC business school.

In 116, he joined Broadway Chain Holdings, a Fortune 500 department store chain, as an intern financial analyst. Due to his outstanding performance, the company offered him the position of manager of the finance and information department.

Four years later, Xu Shuguang followed the CFO of Broadway to Santa Anita Entertainment Real Estate Investment Fund, a New York-listed company, as its CFO.

He was later hired as Chief Operating Officer of United Investment Corporation.

In Chapter 117, Xu Shuguang, who had already gained some fame in the business world, joined the American Pacific House (APH).

This is a community development company whose products are mass-market villa communities. The company has significant investments in three states.

At that time, California real estate investment had been declining since 1991 and had reached its lowest point. Many real estate investment companies were not doing well, including APH.

The company was forced to restructure, and Xu Shuguang bought 100% of the shares, becoming the chairman of APH, and led it out of its slump!

Upon hearing this, Cao Meng nodded and said, "This person is quite capable. I trust you to keep my 10% stake!"

How large is GreenTree Inns now?

The system said: "GreenTree Inn entered the domestic market in 2004, settling in Shanghai, and its first hotel opened its doors to guests."

By 2013, GreenTree Inn had expanded to over 400 cities, with more than 1700 chain hotels, of which over 1200 were already in operation!

Cao Meng is quite satisfied with the scale of GreenTree Inn.

Even if I can't cash out the shares yet, owning 10% of them can still be a valuable asset.

If Haidilao can be located near GreenTree Inn in the future, people from other places who come to Haidilao can stay at GreenTree Inn and enjoy a 10% discount. This kind of cooperation between the two brands can lead to a win-win situation!

"So, if Yang Tao gets pregnant and gives birth, will she receive corresponding GreenTree Inn stock as a reward?"

The system said, "Not necessarily, there might be other rewards later!"

Cao Meng sometimes felt bored that he could easily acquire these shares.

But that's the "easy win" system; you can win everything this way, which is pretty awesome!

After resting for a while, he called Yang Tao's ex-boyfriend's current wife.

The lobby manager, Li Li, was a stunningly beautiful married woman with exquisite features, a captivating figure, and an alluring, seductive walk.

Cao Meng wanted this woman to complete the relay with Yang Tao so that he could achieve psychological balance.

(Here's a picture of this woman; let's see if it gets any upvotes.) 10,000.

Chapter 118 Cao, the Other Man's Wife, Eats the Charming and Alluring Married Woman!

Actually, while Yang Tao was taking a shower, Cao Meng called the wife of the conman Li Wei, the charming lobby manager Li Li.

He told Li Li to come to the presidential suite right now.

When Li Li arrived at the presidential suite, the female staff waiting outside asked curiously, "Manager Li, what brings you here? They're taking a shower inside, isn't that inconvenient?"

Li Li didn't know how to tell them, so she paused for a moment and said, "It was a guest from here who called me. They have something very important to discuss with them."

You all go and rest first; I'll take care of some minor things!

The waitresses never dreamed that the male guest who stayed in the presidential suite, with his beautiful girlfriend, would actually have designs on their new hotel beauty, lobby manager Li Li.

Typically, the lobby manager of a hotel is a woman, and often the most beautiful woman in the hotel.

Just like Yang Tao, the former lobby manager of this four-star hotel, and Li Li, the current lobby manager.

There is also Xu Hongdou, the current receptionist and future front desk manager of another five-star hotel, who will also be the lobby manager.

It seems that Xu Hongdou's best friend, Chen Nanxing, is also a beautiful woman and apparently works at a hotel.

Li Li arrived at the presidential suite and met Cao Meng.

Cao Meng whispered to her, "I'm bringing you here to compensate you, and the compensation will be far greater than you expect."

But I may not have time to talk to you much right now. You should hide in the second bedroom first. Don't close the door completely; leave it ajar.

As for why, you shouldn't ask any more questions.

"Wait until my date with my girlfriend is over, then I'll give you the compensation you want!"

Because Li Li's husband is the swindler Li Wei, who previously swindled Yang Tao out of only 50 yuan.

He swindled even more money from the position he obtained by using fake academic credentials and a fake resume. He was a senior executive at the company "937," responsible for supplier management. He accepted bribes from suppliers and embezzled tens of millions of yuan of company funds. He will at least serve more than ten years in prison.

What's worse for Li Li now is that they've started paying off their mortgage. They bought a villa with a monthly payment of 5 yuan for 20 years. Originally, her husband's income plus the money he embezzled could have easily covered the cost, but now her husband is in prison.

Her villa couldn't be sold immediately, and her monthly salary of just over 1 yuan was simply not enough to support her.

So at this moment, Cao Meng became her last lifeline.

She has no idea what kind of compensation Cao Meng will give her.

I just felt that this handsome guy had a really good heart, and it wasn't for nothing that I had these inexplicable feelings for him.

Nearly an hour later, Li Li heard noises coming from the master bedroom, and she was completely flustered.

When Cao Meng rested for a while and went to the second bedroom, he found that Li Li, the charming and alluring lobby manager, was extremely shy at this moment.

She was already quite beautiful, and now with her cheeks flushed, she looked even more radiant and captivating.

However, the woman still retained a sliver of consciousness. Suppressing her racing heart, she asked, "You made me come here so early just to eavesdrop on you two? Did you want me to get all excited and then do something inappropriate with you? Aren't you afraid your girlfriend will hear and break up with you?"

Cao Meng said with a smile, "You should know that my girlfriend is your husband's ex-girlfriend. She was cheated out of hundreds of thousands of yuan by your husband."

They transferred all the money out of her account and maxed out all four of her credit cards, leaving her only a car with a loan still outstanding.

This incident dealt a huge blow to my girlfriend Yang Tao, causing her to be afraid to date for years afterward and to have nightmares constantly.

So my girlfriend agreed to let me come and seduce you, which is to cheat on your husband and get revenge on him for hurting her so much before.

So even if my girlfriend is asleep right now, or even when she's awake, she'll be fine.

The key question now is, do you want the compensation I offer?

Although Li Li, the charming and seductive lobby manager and wife of the conman Li Wei, still retains a sliver of loyalty to her husband, the pressures of life force her to cling to Cao Meng as her lifeline.

Li Li immediately asked, "What kind of compensation do you want to give me?"

Cao Meng looked at the alluring married woman with a mocking expression and said, "Because of my and Yang Tao's report, your husband was imprisoned. According to his crimes, he should serve at least ten years in prison. In other words, because of me, you lost your husband. So my compensation to you is to give you a husband!"

Li Li was stunned, completely at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

She thought Cao Meng would give her material compensation, such as tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan to help her get through the difficult times, but she never expected him to give her a husband.

Li Li said, both amused and exasperated, "The husband you're talking about, you wouldn't happen to be yourself, would you!"

Cao Meng said with a smile, "You're really smart. It seems you're not a woman with big breasts but no brains. That makes me even more interested in you."

That's right, it was me who volunteered. I caused you to lose your husband, and my compensation to you is to be your husband, to make up for the lack of a proper marital life!

Li Li was both amused and exasperated, and said in a disheveled state, "Thank you, but I'm not in the mood for that right now. What I need right now isn't a man, it's money!"

Cao Meng chuckled and said, "Isn't your husband your man responsible for making money for you? If you agree to my request, I'll give you at least 50 or even 500 million for household expenses!"

In reality, he was just trying to get something for nothing. He got the money from Li Li's husband, that damned swindler Li Wei, completely using someone else's money to help him.

If that damned swindler Li Wei knew that Cao Meng was using the money he worked so hard to earn to woo his wife, he would be furious.

Li Li had no idea that the money was originally ill-gotten gains obtained by her husband, Li Wei, through embezzlement and bribery. She thought Cao Meng was really so kind as to help her.

He's a really nice guy.

At this moment, Li Li felt grateful to Mr. Cao Meng, and her feelings for him, which she had before, were no longer suppressed but burst forth.

Li Li opened her alluring eyes and looked Cao Meng up and down, finding him increasingly pleasing to the eye.

This handsome guy is way more handsome than her husband; they're not even in the same league.

This man was not only handsome and sunny in appearance, but also tall and upright in stature.

It has a very good temperament and a strong sense of approachability. It looks harmless and honest, naturally giving people a sense of friendliness and trust.

Moreover, there was an air of nobility about him, making people feel that he came from an extraordinary background.

Moreover, and most importantly, Li Li had overheard the conversation and concluded that Cao Meng's abilities far surpassed those of her husband, Li Wei.

Because Li Wei was a scumbag who loved to deceive women when he was young, he swindled and cheated all over the place, deceiving countless women. It was because he played with too many women, and because his abilities were only average, that he was completely unable to make his current wife happy.

While not as extreme as Xu Li's ex-husband, he was still quite ordinary.

Li Li only realized after what had just happened that her husband hadn't paid his grain tax for a very long time.

She had assumed that her husband was indeed very busy, as he claimed, with work and social engagements.

She never expected that after her husband was arrested, the truth would come out: her husband not only embezzled and accepted bribes at the company, but also cheated many women out of their money.

All of Li Li's original love for her husband vanished.

The reason she still harbors some resentment towards Yang Tao and Cao Meng is because her husband was arrested and imprisoned, leaving no one to support their villa, which will put a lot of pressure on her life.

That's why, if her life could improve, she wouldn't need to hate Yang Tao and Cao Meng.

When she learned the truth, she also hated her husband, because for all these years she had been kept in the dark by this man and humiliated as if she were a fool.

Over the years, her husband has cheated on so many women; she doesn't know how many times she's been cuckolded.

So now she also wants to take revenge on her husband, Li Wei.
