Chen Lu was taken aback, and suddenly felt a tightness in her chest.

Cao Kun was the key to changing her life, and she absolutely cannot let go of him!

She looked at Li Meiwei, as if she had suddenly understood something, staring at her in disbelief:

"Sister Wei, you're taking Cao Kun's side so seriously, you wouldn't... be one of them, would you?"

Li Meiwei nodded helplessly.

Chen Lu felt as if the sky had fallen, her voice trembling slightly: "Sister Wei, how could you do this?"

Li Meiwei smiled wryly:

"I don't want to either, but like I said, capable men always have women around them, so why can't I be one of them?"

After a long silence, Chen Lu seemed to have figured it out. Her eyes hardened, and she said to Li Meiwei:

"Let's join forces! We can't let those two vixens steal Cao Kun away!"

……

"Let's join forces! We can't let those two vixens steal Cao Kun away!"

In Zheng Kexin's room, Xu Yisha sat opposite her.

Since Xu Yisha arrived at Fuli Garden yesterday, she has been ostracized by the two men.

Chen Lu acted as if she were the mistress of the villa, and her attitude was very arrogant.

However, based on her understanding of Cao Kun, she knew that Cao Kun would definitely not let Li Meiwei, who was beside Chen Lu, go.

The two women pretended to be very close, which she found utterly ridiculous.

Xu Yisha spoke first:

"You saw their condescending attitude. We're all Cao Kun's women, why should we put up with their arrogance?"

Zheng Kexin frowned slightly and said helplessly, "I know, but what can I do?"

She wasn't the type to swallow her anger; she was just new here and didn't know how to handle things.

Xu Yisha said earnestly, "We can join forces. You were given a hard time as soon as you came in. Don't you want to get revenge?"

"Of course I want to vent my anger, but what good will it do if we unite?"

"If we join forces, our standing in Cao Kun's eyes will naturally increase. Are you willing to always be overshadowed by them?"

Zheng Kexin pondered for a moment: "What you said seems to make some sense. In that case, let's give it a try!"

……

Dinner time.

Inside the restaurant, the areas were clearly divided.

Chen Lu and Li Meiwei sat on one side, while Xu Yisha and Zheng Kexin sat opposite them.

Cao Kun and Dongniya sat facing each other.

Chen Lu changed her cold attitude and became very friendly and affectionate with Cao Kun at the dinner table.

Li Meiwei also acted out of character, constantly putting food on Cao Kun's plate.

Cao Kun couldn't help but look surprised. Li Meiwei would never dare to act like this in front of Chen Lu.

Have these two women already talked things out?

On the other side, Zheng Kexin and Xu Yisha were equally competitive, addressing each other as sisters and behaving very warmly.

Zheng Kexin suddenly spoke up: "Brother Cao, I don't want to work at Tengjiang Luxury Car Mall anymore."

Xu Yisha immediately chimed in, "The sales department is short of a secretary. Xiao Ke, you've always worked in sales, so you'd be perfect to be my secretary."

Cao Kun nodded: "Okay, this is simple. Go to the company tomorrow and find Su Yue to complete the onboarding process."

Xu Yisha's eyes darted around, and she continued, "Boss, Xiao Ke is new to the company and doesn't know much about it."

"How about I take her to your room later, and we'll give her a proper introduction to the company?"

"Wow... such a good thing?"

Cao Kun instantly understood the implication in Xu Yisha's words, and couldn't help but smile and nod hurriedly.

Hearing this, Chen Lu's face turned green instantly, and she dug her fingertips into her palms.

Seeing this, Donya rolled her eyes and didn't even want to say a word to Cao Kun.

……

Zhongjiang Normal University.

After Su Yue accompanied Liu Xin through the enrollment procedures, the two strolled slowly along the tree-lined path.

Freshmen hurried past along the way, carrying their books, exuding youthful energy.

Walking on the university campus, everything around Liu Xin was new and exciting.

At that moment, Liu Xin's phone rang.

A middle-aged man's voice, thick with a Guizhou accent, came through the receiver, his voice hoarse: "Xinwazi..."

"Ah Da, what's wrong?" Liu Xin stopped in his tracks.

Liu Qiong hesitated for a long time on the other end of the phone before finally managing to say with difficulty, "Could you... could you transfer another 50,000 yuan?"

Liu Xin stood there, stunned: "Didn't I just transfer 70,000 yuan to Liu Hongjie?"

Liu Qiong named Liu Xin "Xin" in the hope that she would bring good fortune.

However, naming his son "Hongjie" was a way of hoping that he would achieve great things and have a bright future.

"Rongrong's family said... a banquet costing 70,000 yuan is too meager." Liu Qiong's voice trailed off: "They also want to give three gold items... we don't have enough money."

Zhang Rongrong is Liu Xin's younger brother's fiancée.

A wave of annoyance washed over Liu Xin.

For her younger brother's wedding, she gave up the opportunity to go to university and left her hometown to work as a foot masseuse in Changteng.

If she hadn't met Cao Kun, she couldn't imagine what her fate would have been like.

But thinking of her aging father and frail mother, Liu Xin ultimately softened.

He sighed and said, "Okay, I'll transfer another 50,000 yuan to you."

After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, Liu Qiong hesitated before speaking, "Xinwa... you've only been in Zhongjiang Province for less than a month, where did you get so much money?"

Liu Xin was taken aback, and stammered, "It's...it's an advance on my salary from the company."

Meanwhile, in a remote mountain village in Guizhou Province.

An unfinished two-story brick house stands alone on the hillside. Only the first floor is simply tiled, while the second floor is unfinished and the red bricks are exposed.

Liu Qiong came out of the inner room with her phone in her hand, her brows furrowed.

This lean, dark-skinned middle-aged man nervously rubbed his calloused hands together.

His wife, Wang Cuilan, stood uneasily in the center of the main room, her equally thin body slightly hunched, her hands constantly wiping on her apron.

Inside the main room, a middle-aged man stood there with a furrowed brow and a shrewd look in his eyes, exuding the cunning of a petty bourgeois.

This middle-aged man is Zhang Rongrong's father, Zhang Sixi.

"Hey Lao Liu, have you raised the money yet?" Zhang Sixi urged impatiently.

Liu Qiong hesitated before saying, "We've managed to scrape together the money. Xinwa will transfer 50,000 yuan to us later, and we'll pick it up at the agricultural cooperative this afternoon."

Zhang Sixi was taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

It's truly unexpected that Liu Qiong, from this poor mountain village, could produce a "golden phoenix" who knows how to make money.

He originally looked down on Liu Qiong's family, especially his good-for-nothing son Liu Hongjie.

If it weren't for the fact that his daughter was pregnant out of wedlock, and the whole affair had become a hot topic in the surrounding villages, ruining his reputation, he would never have married his daughter to him.

To vent his anger, he deliberately inflated the bride price and wedding expenses, all to embarrass the Liu family.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xin sent 70,000 yuan to Zhongjiang not long after she arrived.

Zhang Sixi had ventured out into the world when he was young and had seen a bit of the world.

After thinking it over, he guessed that Liu Xin was either being kept by her boss or doing something dishonorable and despicable.

Regardless, it seems like making money is quite easy.
