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

He shouldn't lower his own aesthetic standards to cater to others just because many people like it.

He doesn't lack women now, so why should he wrong himself?

Just like in the TV series "A Little Reunion," many people like Qiao Yingzi, but he just doesn't. He thinks Qiao Yingzi is ugly.

Just like Luo Yan in Twenty Your Life On, she's ugly.

Zhu Suosuo smiled wryly and said, "If you don't agree with her appearance, then she has a good temperament. Her temperament is quite outstanding. She was raised in a wealthy family and practiced ballet from a young age. You should be able to see that her temperament is very outstanding!"

Cao Meng nodded and said, "That is one of the reasons why I am reluctant to give up on her."

She has indeed cultivated a unique and unassuming demeanor.

But my requirements for women go beyond just temperament; temperament is just a pretty face.

When we chatted last time, I noticed that she didn't seem to have much substance; her words were empty and meaningless. She should probably read more books. What rich girl? Ha!

The last time they ate at a hot pot restaurant, everyone else was able to join in the conversation.

At first, Cao Meng thought that Jiang Nansun was too delicate and reserved, so he tried to get her to say a few words.

It turned out that this young lady truly lived up to her reputation; she was oblivious to the hardships of ordinary people and missed the point in many of her opinions.

It was from that time that his interest in Jiang Nansun plummeted. In addition, Jiang Nansun was aloof and refused to comply with his last invitation.

Cao Meng was unwilling to waste his time on her.

Zhu Suosuo quickly said, "Husband, you must have misunderstood something. Before this, when you took advantage of me for free, I was very rude to you. It was Nansun who helped me analyze that you might have been pretending to be poor to test me."

Many of her analyses were very clear and insightful, which made me less confused. You could say she was my female strategist.

She is actually quite insightful; it's just that there were too many people around, and in that atmosphere, she was a bit socially anxious, making it difficult for her to communicate smoothly with strangers.

I still hope you can give her a chance. I guarantee that once she becomes your woman, she won't let you down!

Cao Meng looked at Zhu Suosuo with some surprise and said, "Other people are afraid that their best friends will steal their men, but you're so eager to give your best friend to your man. What are you thinking?"

Zhu Suosuo revealed her true thoughts: "Husband, I don't want to lie to you. I feel that I am often confused. I need Jiang Nansun to be by my side to guide me. I feel that only when the two of us are bound together can we have a place among your women. Otherwise, if I fight alone, I am very likely to be eliminated!"

Cao Meng frowned and said, "Do you think that the women I have now are like a harem, with palace intrigues where you can't win against the other women? Why would you even have the idea of ​​fighting against other women?"

Zhu Suosuo sighed and said, "I didn't want to either, but because of my previous behavior, Peng Jiahe always shut me up every time she saw me, and Jiang Lai also hates me. I believe that if your other women knew about my previous behavior, they would definitely think I was a gold digger and would look down on me. I have no place in their eyes!"

Cao Meng chuckled coldly, "You know your previous performance was poor, so you should work harder to catch up, improve your abilities, courage, and vision, and not let them surpass you."

As for the palace intrigue you're worried about, it simply won't happen.

我不会弄一个大的宫殿，把你们全都圈『若水飞卢群』@+9!七5六3二4一0在一起，让你们自相残杀。

"I promise you, if you perform well and help me win this battle, I'll reward you with a villa—a villa worth tens of millions! You and your best friend Jiang Nansun can move in together!"

Cao Meng wanted Zhu Suosuo to spy on Jingyan's military intelligence and help him indirectly control Jingyan Real Estate Company, so he had to give her a generous reward.

A generous reward can inspire courage, and this woman will be even more motivated.

As expected, Zhu Suosuo was overjoyed when she heard that Cao Meng would reward her with a large villa.

After all, she was fed up with staying at her aunt's house these days, and she really wanted to have her own house now, even a small house of a few dozen square meters would be enough for her.

Unexpectedly, Cao Meng rewarded her with a villa worth tens of millions, which delighted her beyond measure.

Zhu Suosuo hugged Cao Meng and said sweetly, "Husband, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."

But what about Jiang Nansun?

Cao Meng chuckled and said, "You really are all looks and no brains. Think back, what information did you miss just now?"

Zhu Suosuo thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up and she said with a sweet smile, "You said 893 would let me and Jiang Nansun move into that villa together, that's great, you're willing to accept her!"

"With our sisters united, we can move mountains; we will certainly not let you down..."

Cao Meng tapped Zhu Suosuo's forehead and said, "You can't rely on Jiang Nansun completely, and you shouldn't always think of yourself as all looks and no brains. You should use your brains!"

Speaking of which, Zhu Suosuo already had a great figure, and in this timeline, her figure was two sizes larger, no less than that of Gan Jing and Yang Taolina mentioned earlier.

Therefore, the statement that she is all brawn and no brains is entirely true.

She wasn't often unintelligent; she was just too lazy to think. This laziness in thinking could sometimes lead to fatal problems in her life.

Fortunately, she has now met Cao Meng, who can spur her on in time.

She also has a close friend, Jiang Nansun, who can offer her advice and suggestions.

After they finished talking, they continued dating.

Feeling that no one was around, Zhu Suosuo began to relax and completely disregarded everything else.

Her voice carried far and quickly attracted some passersby.

Cao Meng immediately heard footsteps in the distance, as well as whispers from some people.

He quickly grabbed Zhu Suosuo, hid inside the car, opened the convertible top—it was a Ferrari LaFerrari convertible—and sped away.

Those passersby who went deeper into the woods after hearing strange noises did not see the car sex scene they were so eager to witness, but only the fragrance of women and the scent of heather.

Cao Meng and Zhu Suosuo had not achieved complete harmony in their lives, so they wanted to find another place.

But they were so frightened by what they had just witnessed that they dared not have sex in the car again.

Cao Meng then drove to the front of his hot pot restaurant.

He brought Zhu Suosuo to his office.

Zhu Suosuo's clothes were dirty, so Cao Meng made her change into a black uniform, the kind of office lady suit that Yang Tao and Li Na usually wear.

Zhu Suosuo looks quite different in it.

On the surface, Zhu Suosuo and Li Na are both charming and alluring women, but their temperaments are slightly different. Zhu Suosuo appears more naive and easily seduced.

Li Na was more shrewd, but she was unexpectedly love-struck.

While on a date with Zhu Suosuo, Cao Meng was already thinking about what it would be like to unlock Li Na's heart the next day.

More than half an hour later, Zhu Suosuo fainted.

Cao Meng then had her lie down in the break room next to the office.

The next morning, the office door opened.

Li Na, Li Na's personal assistant, walked in.

Li Na, with her exquisite makeup and charming eyes, walked in gracefully, wearing a black suit uniform.

Her figure was too voluptuous, and her black suit looked as if it might burst at any moment.

The way she walks is truly unique; her swaying waist is so captivating, it's as if it could twist a man's soul in two.

Li Na smiled charmingly and said, "Boss, why are you here so early?"

Boss, you spent the night here last night, didn't you?

Hehe, are you hiding someone?

Chapter 90: Pampering the innocent Yang Tao in the office, with the sexy Li Na serving by his side!

Cao Meng rolled his eyes at Li Na and said, "Don't pry into the boss's privacy. Tell me what your schedule is for today."

Li Na originally wanted to act coquettishly and say, "I'm also the boss's woman."

However, they haven't even kissed; their relationship hasn't reached the level of Yang Tao's.

Cao Meng still wants Li Na to be his assistant for the time being, rather than immediately making her his woman.

Because once she becomes his woman, once the boundary between boss and assistant is broken, will Li Na become arrogant and act like the boss's wife?

These are all issues that Cao Meng needs to be wary of and consider.

Looking back at that timeline, Lina was far from being Robin's woman. Just because she had followed Robin as his assistant secretary for more than 10 years, she felt that she had made great contributions and even felt that her relationship with her boss was a bit ambiguous. So she brazenly wanted the qualification of a partner in the law firm.

Isn't this a bit like taking advantage of someone's favor?

Cao Meng pondered that perhaps he should give Li Na the cold shoulder for a while, until she couldn't take it anymore, and then talk to her about principles and bottom lines, and put her under some restraint and encouragement. That way, Li Na would be truly useful.

Otherwise, she would be too easily spoiled and arrogant, always acting like the boss's wife, making it impossible for her to work properly.

Seeing Cao Meng's face darken and his expression turn serious, Li Na knew better than to make any more lighthearted jokes.

Li Na quickly said, "Boss, you'll be very busy today. I've already had the HR department contact the talents on your list from Douyin."

The problem is, Robin is still insisting on keeping the office space you chose; their Quan Jing Law Firm hasn't closed down yet, so there's no way to buy it for the time being!

Cao Meng smiled faintly and said, "They have already lost their biggest guest, and now they only have a few birds left. What are they still insisting on?"

Then buy the apartment above or below them, and after they leave, buy their entire floor as well.

In the future, Douyin will have a huge number of employees; two floors might not be enough, and they might have to buy the entire office building!

Li Na doesn't have a clear idea about the future development of Douyin, since she's not particularly familiar with the IT and internet sector.

However, she knew a little about real estate and couldn't help but ask, "Boss, wouldn't buying office buildings now tie up too much capital? Why don't we just rent?"

Cao Meng smiled faintly and said, "I predict that housing prices will soar rapidly in the next few years, including office building prices, which will also see a significant increase."

I hope that in the future we can not only make profits through company operations, but I also hope to benefit from soaring property prices by purchasing these properties.

That's why I insist on buying all our branches, never leasing them. We want to learn from McDonald's and be not only a food company, but also a real estate company!

McDonald's headquarters first selects the most suitable location for opening a store, builds the McDonald's, and then sublets the store, along with its signage and equipment, as a whole.

Cao Meng's model here combines the original Haidilao and McDonald's models, and it will be even more profitable in the future!

Li Na couldn't help but ask, "Boss, what is your basis for concluding that real estate prices are soaring?"

Housing prices have been sluggish for many years, and everyone feels that prices are already very high. Could they possibly go even higher?

Cao Meng couldn't help but want to bring up the issue of monetizing shantytowns.

But he held back from saying it, because at the end of 2013, it was still an absolute secret.

He then said to Lina, "This is my prediction; there is such a plan now."

If you have spare money, why not buy another house? You'll thank me in a few years!

Li Na said with a wry smile, "Where would I get so much money to pay the mortgage? I also have to support my father!"

Looking back now, Cao Meng realizes that Li Na also had her own share of sorrows.

Despite her radiant appearance and affable smile, she actually has a very painful past.

Li Na's current father is not her biological father at all; he is her adoptive father, but he has never raised her for more than a few days.

Not long after Li Na's mother and father got married, her mother gave birth to Li Na.

Her father concluded that the daughter was not his, but rather the child of his wife and her lover, and in a fit of anger, he left home.

For so many years, he ignored and didn't care about Li Na.

He only thought of coming back to rely on Li Na to take care of him in his old age when he could no longer make a living outside.

Li Na was very conflicted at first, but eventually she came to terms with it.

The only relative he had left in the world was his elderly father, to whom he was not related by blood.

She sent her elderly father to a nursing home and visited him frequently.

At that time, Li Na followed Robin and learned to act pretentious, arranging for her unrelated father to stay in a high-end nursing home, where she had to pay tens of thousands of yuan in monthly fees.

As an assistant secretary, her salary wasn't very high, and she loved to shop, buying a lot of designer clothes. You could tell from the fact that she changed over 60 outfits in the show "The Elite Lawyer," which meant she didn't save any money at all.

Cao Meng originally wanted to say, "If you perform well, I will give you money in the future so you can buy more houses."

But this would make Li Na feel that she is being pampered and loved, and she would become arrogant and spoiled.

Cao Meng then said calmly, "Now that you're following me, many of the things you do are investments. You should understand what makes buying something worthwhile."

Buying a house now can appreciate in value, while buying a car or clothes are consumables and don't appreciate in value. In the future, when making purchases, try to buy things that can appreciate in value.

Don't buy those flashy but impractical things that are a waste of your intelligence. I don't need pretty faces, and you shouldn't be one either!

Li Na felt a tightness in her chest. She didn't know why her boss had suddenly become so cold towards her. Weren't they doing just fine a few days ago? Didn't they agree to be together after her period ended?

It used to be said that only women's faces could change in an instant, but now it seems men's faces can change just as quickly.

She couldn't help but say coquettishly, "Boss, what's wrong with you? Have you forgotten our agreement?"

Cao Meng said calmly, "I haven't forgotten, but I feel that our relationship started a little too quickly."
