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

Cao Meng suddenly realized that although Lan Hong was not the woman he loved very much, because she had so much wealth, she would become the richest of all his women in the future.

However, it cannot be denied that the 12 billion yuan from Lan Hong provided a powerful impetus to Cao Meng's businesses.

This 12 billion yuan will be enough to support the development of four companies to a valuation of over 100 billion yuan, at which point they will be able to secure larger and more lenient investments.

Otherwise, if the company is small and its prospects are not bright, new investments will not only be low in amount but also have very harsh conditions. It is very likely that, like Zhang Laolan's South Beauty, they will have to sign a performance-based agreement with the other party, and will have to lose money if the listing is unsuccessful.

Cao Meng is not short of money now. The reason he attracts some capital injections is only because he sees that the capital can help him at some key times, such as helping him to go public faster.

He refused to sign any performance-based agreements with any investors, and he would never allow them to interfere with his control over the company. He insisted that if you invested money, you would get a share of the profits, and you wouldn't have to worry about anything else.

Because all four of his projects—Haidilao, Meituan, Douyin, and Pinduoduo—were successful in their respective time periods, Cao Meng has great confidence in them.

His strong confidence is even infectious to employees and investors who currently know nothing about the future.

Therefore, all four projects have progressed smoothly.

In recent days, Cao Meng has personally visited each of the key talents lacking in these projects, inviting them to sign contracts successfully.

Gan Jing helped renovate these offices. After the renovation was completed, the relevant personnel could officially move in and start working. The core teams of Douyin, Meituan, and Pinduoduo were officially established, and the three companies officially began large-scale operations.

Cao Meng has been very busy lately, but he still makes sure to keep up with his dates with his female confidantes.

Basically, every woman goes on a date every 5 days.

Because Cao Meng would start dating whenever he had the time and place.

For example, when he was inspecting the new Pinduoduo office, which was designed and decorated by Gan Jing, he would ask everyone else to leave, leaving only him and Gan Jing to have a date in his new office.

He especially liked it when Gan Jing wore a suit on their dates; when she wore a suit, Gan Jing looked like a dignified and sophisticated office lady.

This is a woman he could never have met before his rebirth. If he could meet such a mature and sophisticated woman at work, he would love to do something with her, but he never had the chance.

Now that he has this opportunity, he fully fulfills his wishes from before his rebirth... Wan.

Chapter 179 He had a date with his beautiful secretary, Li Na, in Robin's office!

Cao Meng instructed Gan Jing's design firm to urge the decoration companies to renovate the Quan Jing Law Firm, which originally belonged to Li Na, into Pinduoduo's office.

The office that originally belonged to Robin was renovated into his chairman's office.

He was having a date with Robin's former beautiful assistant, Lina, in what used to be Robin's office.

It really gives me a sense of pleasure in stealing Robin and making him a cuckold.

When Li Na made an appointment with Cao Meng to meet at "973", she said with emotion, "I really didn't expect that one day I would be able to return to this office, only with a new owner."

Robin was such a fool, not worth cherishing. Now that he's gone, I wonder if he'll regret it!

Cao Meng chuckled and said, "Why don't we send him a picture and see how he reacts!"

Li Na actually took a picture of herself and Cao Meng at the desk and sent it to Robin.

Robin now rents a small office with Dai Xi and Dai Xi's ex-boyfriend Mai Fei. It's very small, the kind of office that's shared with other people.

They've been extremely stressed lately.

Robin thought he still had influence in the industry, and that he used to be very famous, so people must be begging him for favors.

Unexpectedly, all his former clients ignored him and gave him no chance whatsoever.

Robin later discovered that because of several major clients he had offended, including Corton, the entire industry had been barred from working with Robin's partners.

This effectively blacklisted him within the industry.

Kodon is a very large multinational corporation with a particularly large volume of business in China and partners in all aspects.

Those partners were unwilling to offend their customers over such a trivial matter.

Moreover, the stupid things Robin did in a fit of rage for his lover have spread throughout the industry.

Although he felt he was very upright, all clients would consider the same question: which is more important, my company's interests or your so-called justice? What all companies need is a lawyer who can defend their own interests, not a lawyer who defends lofty but illusory justice.

So it's no wonder those people are unwilling to give him a chance. He's been working in this industry for so long, yet he's still being led around by a naive and clueless girl like Dai Xi who just graduated.

Furthermore, the relationship between Robin, Daisy, and Maifei is also quite complicated.

Robin has now realized that he has fallen in love with Dai Xi, and Mai Fei is also desperately pleading to win Dai Xi back.

This unassuming woman, Dai Xi, possessed some kind of charm that made two men fawn over her.

Robin felt very annoyed when he saw Dai Xi and Mai Fei getting close, seemingly rekindling their old flame.

At that moment, he received a WeChat photo from his former assistant secretary, Li Na.

He was shocked to discover that the place where Li Na and Cao Meng were now on a date was actually his former office.

Li Na continued in the voice message, "Robin, this used to be your office, now it's my boss's office, and I'm reporting to him right now!"

Robin regrets it now, regretting why he refused to accept Li Na in the first place.

After Cao Meng got Li Na, he was like a tiger with wings, and his career flourished. Even his ex-girlfriend Lan Hong sided with him and invested in him.

Everything Robin did was ultimately a favor to Cao Meng; he helped Cao Meng, but Cao Meng became extremely proud of him.

Chapter 180 He was on a date with the beautiful and wealthy Lan Hong at Robin's house!

After a day of feeling down, Robin discovered that his ex-girlfriend, Lan Hong, had sent him photos on WeChat again.

He clicked on it and found that Lan Hong was actually in his old house, on a date with Cao Meng.

It turns out that although Robin had made a lot of money before, he squandered it all on his extravagant lifestyle. In order to continue his business, he simply sold his original house.

The house he originally owned was the one he planned to use when he married Lan Hong. However, Lan Hong's outrageous request to add her mother's name to the deed led to their breakup.

To Robin's surprise, the person who bought the house was actually sent by Cao Meng, and the house now belongs to Cao Meng.

Cao Meng was actually having a date with Lan Hong, Robin's ex-girlfriend, in his room.

Equivalent to 11, Cao Meng got his house and also slept with his woman.

Robin was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot. Cao Meng was just too infuriating and went too far.

This cannot be entirely blamed on Cao Meng; it's because Robin still harbors deep resentment and hostility towards him.

Even after he left Quanjing Law Firm's original office in a sorry state, he didn't keep a low profile and continued to collect various facts that were detrimental to Cao Meng.

Robin actually took Mai Fei and Dai Xi to Haidilao's flagship store every day to see which diners were dissatisfied or had any conflicts, and then directly stepped forward to represent them in court, wanting to sue Haidilao.

When things come to this point, Cao Meng cannot afford to ignore it.

Cao Meng never expected that this guy had such a deep grudge against him. After being messed up by him, he still turned around and provoked him.

So Cao Meng continued to deal with him and torment him.

Robin never expected that Cao Feng, that bastard, not only managed to seduce his former secretary Li Na, but also his ex-girlfriend Lan Hong. It was simply outrageous.

Although he and Lan Hong broke up 10 years ago, he still felt a little resentful towards Lan Hong. Now, Cao Meng is actually dating Lan Hong in his old house, Robin's old house.

Robin still felt a strong sense of humiliation at being cuckolded.

He became increasingly determined to target Cao Meng, unaware that Cao Meng was deliberately provoking him, aiming to make him lose his clear judgment in extreme anger.

Robin originally wanted to expose Cao Meng's affair with several women, but then she thought that Cao Meng was not an actor or star, not an idol singer, not a public figure, and had no obligation to uphold social morality. As long as the women were willing, no one could make things difficult for him.

On the contrary, if someone were to dox him and find out that Li Na was Robin's former assistant and Lan Hong was Robin's ex-girlfriend, some people would speculate that Cao Meng cheated on him and that he was cuckolded.

In such a social environment, no one will sympathize with the man who was cuckolded; instead, they will think that the man is really incompetent and can't even keep a woman.

That's why, despite Robin's great anger, he was unwilling to expose Cao Meng's relationship with Li Na and Lan Hong.

Robin still hopes to represent Cao Meng's opponent in the lawsuit and try to ruin Cao Meng's business.

Cao Meng was really annoyed with this guy, so he directly told Li Na to inform Robin: "If you continue to fight against Cao Meng, he will seduce your sister Luo Qi!"

Robin was terrified. He had witnessed Cao Meng's methods of seducing women, which were so terrifying that they were enough to make any man shudder.

He didn't want his sister Luo Qi, who was already a bit too romantic, to be snatched away by Cao Meng, so he could only swallow his anger and not want to offend Cao Meng any further.

Chapter 181: Clues to Identity Revealed; Grandfather Holds High Position and Power!

Although Robin's sister Luo Qi looks exactly like He Yun, the beautiful policewoman in the anti-gang storm, and they are suspected to be twins, Luo Qi's charm is incomparable to He Yun's heroic and dashing appearance.

Luo Qi is not only sloppy in her appearance, but also has a very stubborn and obstinate personality, and she also has a daughter who is a burden on her family.

After all that was decided, Cao Meng wasn't very interested in her.

Unless it's a necessary task assigned by the system, Cao Meng won't make a move against her.

Cao Meng sent Li Na to warn Robin simply because he wanted some peace and quiet.

He didn't want to kill Robin completely, because if Robin died, it felt like Cao Meng was missing some of the joy in being with Li Na and Lan Hong.

The fundamental reason why the pleasure of cheating on someone with another man, having an affair with a married woman, exists is that the man in that marriage is still alive.

Otherwise, if she dies and becomes a widow, the experience becomes quite dull; if there's no divorce, the pleasure might be even stronger.

Every time Cao Meng and Li Na, Robin's former secretary, meet in Robin's old office, while Cao Meng is subduing Li Na, he inevitably feels a sense of satisfaction in trampling the once arrogant and domineering elite lawyer Robin underfoot.

Similarly, every time Cao Meng and Robin's fiancée, the eternal goddess Lan Hong, went on a date at Robin's old house, while Cao Meng was easily defeated by Lan Hong, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pleasure in trampling the once proud and arrogant elite lawyer Robin under his feet.

Why did Cao Meng target Robin so much?

What did Robin do to offend him?

Because Cao Meng particularly disliked Robin, that kind of pretentious show-off who was always trying to impress others!

I especially hate these self-righteous moral hypocrites!

Of course, if Robin hadn't targeted Cao Meng from the beginning and hadn't instigated those small hot pot restaurants and the hot pot association to deal with Cao Meng, Cao Meng wouldn't have had to be so ruthless towards him.

Robin's current sorry state is entirely his own fault.

That day, after Cao Meng and Lan Hong's date, Cao Meng suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but ask the system, "Didn't they say that if I could just easily defeat the Lan Hong and Lan Lan sisters, I would get some clues about their identities? Why haven't I received those clues yet?"

The system said, "When the master completely conquers a woman, clues to her identity will be revealed."

Now that the master has completely conquered Lan Hong, and now that the master has given a hint, then let's give the master a clue about his identity... The master's grandfather holds a high position of power!

Cao Meng asked, puzzled, "There are plenty of people in high positions of power, and even high positions of power are divided into different levels, right?"

People like Qi Tongwei, Li Dakang, and Gao Yuliang hold high positions and great power in Handong, but they are nothing in the capital.

Just how powerful and influential was my grandfather?

The system said mysteriously, "...They are definitely more powerful than those people. We'll have to wait for further clues to find out exactly how powerful they are..."

Cao Meng remained silent, carefully reviewing the clue from the system and engaging in meticulous logical reasoning.

Soon, the image of an old man appeared in his mind.

Cao Meng was startled. Could his grandfather be that old man? He must be someone of great power and influence.

However, he immediately realized that he had taken the surname Cao from his adoptive parents, but his real biological parents might not have the surname Cao. They might have other surnames. He couldn't just assume that a high-ranking and powerful old man with the surname Cao was his grandfather.

Seeing Cao Meng staring blankly, Lan Hong asked in surprise, "What are you daydreaming about? Are you still hungry?"

Chapter 182 The Beautiful and Rich Twin Sisters, Lan Hong and Chen Xi, and Their New Home Agreement!

Of course, Cao Meng couldn't tell Lan Hong such a big secret.

Lately, he has felt that Gan Jing is too tired. She has to be in charge of the design and decoration of so many projects, and she also has to go on dates with him frequently. She needs someone to share her work pressure.

Looking at Lan Hong's bright and charming face, Cao Meng suddenly remembered someone and couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have a twin sister who works in interior design?"

Lan Hong looked at Cao Meng in astonishment and said, "I really admire you for finding out even this."

I do have a twin sister who is currently doing interior design.

Her name is Chen Xi, and she works for the renowned home decoration design company, Winner!

Cao Meng now remembered that Chen Xi was from "The Promise of a New Home". She was a genius designer who was very aloof, talented, principled, kept her promises, and valued her reputation.

This story about a new home mainly revolves around events at a home decoration company. There's a middle-aged man named Yang Guang who looks like Pan Yueming and is the manager of a small decoration company.

He was insightful and only wanted to make money peacefully and take good care of his family. However, he was too lenient with his employees, which backfired and ultimately led him to work as a project manager for a large decoration company called Winner.

In this way, he and the genius designer Chen Xi were destined to be enemies.

Yang Guang and Chen Xi not only have matching names, but their collaborative philosophies are also very similar. Originally, they came from two different worlds and disliked each other due to misunderstandings. However, after working together, they became very compatible. After jointly creating conscientious and high-quality projects, they gradually eliminated their misunderstandings and became partners.

However, based on the timeline, it's clear that Chen Xi is currently the winner, as she hasn't resigned yet and doesn't know Yang Guang.

Cao Meng asked curiously, "So, you and Lanlan aren't biological sisters? No wonder you two don't look alike and your relationship is a bit awkward!"

Lan Hong said, "Lan Lan is the child of my father's second wife. She is my half-sister, but my relationship with her is pretty good."

This girl always had some issues with me, but thanks to your intervention, our relationship has improved a lot now.
