King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

As her ex-husband, Gao Kai must have had a key to Xu Meijuan's office.

He just got a cold shoulder on the phone, but he's not giving up... so he came here to wait for her!

Upon seeing me, Gao Kai didn't show any annoyance; he merely slightly raised his eyelids, maintaining a calm and indifferent expression...

It was a kind of contempt that went "deep into the bone," just like the expression on the young girl's face at the hospital window when I accompanied my mother to apply for chronic and special medical treatment... colder than explicit disdain!

It was as if I were just a fly that flew in, not even worthy of his contempt...

"Where is your General Manager Xu?" Gao Kai asked, frowning slightly.

"They're probably in a meeting... uh!"

I frowned and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Please have a seat. She'll be here after her meeting."

Since they're not in the same league, there's no need for too much interaction!

I walked to Xu Meijuan's desk, opened the drawer and rummaged through it, and sure enough, I found a brand new set of toiletries...

Then I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth.

Xu Meijuan's plan is for me to have my wedding with Teacher Sun this week, and the more publicity the better!

If Gao Kai keeps pressing me with his questions, I won't be able to explain myself at all. The best thing to do is to finish what I need to do and run away as soon as possible!

However, just as I finished brushing my teeth and was about to leave, Gao Kai smiled and waved to me, gesturing for me to sit down.

His expression was completely different; he seemed much kinder and gentler...

"Young man! Have a seat!"

"Well......"

There was nothing I could do but obediently sit on the sofa.

"How was your rest at my place last night?" Gao Kai asked with a smile.

"Uh...uh..."

I frowned and lowered my head, not knowing what to say.

"hehe!"

Gao Kai laughed and said, "Your CEO Xu has a serious case of mysophobia... When I was at home, I would take two showers a day. What? You live at my house and you don't even need to brush your teeth?"

Now I understand why he laughed.

indeed!

Xu Meijuan's house is exceptionally clean, especially her bedroom... it's spotless!

And since I hadn't brushed my teeth, logically... Xu Meijuan couldn't possibly have touched me!

His nearly 20 years of married life experience made him "understand" what was going on, and naturally, all the resentment in his heart disappeared...

"What's with your clothes? Did you get into a fight?" Gao Kai asked with a smile.

I remained silent, head bowed, brows furrowed. In my heart, I thought, "Think what you want to think..."

"Song Cheng? Is that right!"

Gao Kai smiled and tossed me a cigarette: "I understand your situation. You're a pitiful kid... Sigh! Young people, just entering society, face many temptations, all dreaming of instant success! But... many temptations, seemingly like a windfall, are actually traps. Don't take any job or do anything for money, that will ruin you..."

Gao Kai's earnest words were not annoying, and his expression showed genuine concern...

I lit the cigarette he gave me and silently took a puff.

Seeing that I didn't seem to mind, Gao Kai laughed heartily, "Your boss Xu has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She's angry with me and is using you to provoke me, but don't worry! Haha! I understand what happened and I won't make things difficult for you. You're innocent... However, young man, there's something else I need to talk to you about..."

His expression became much more serious. After taking a drag of his cigarette, he pondered, "Didn't you go for a paternity test the day before yesterday? What? You're so young, and you already have a child?"

Upon hearing this, a chill ran down my spine!

Right!

I fucking forgot!

This guy... is the head of education, healthcare, and sports.

And then I went to the affiliated institution of the medical university to do a paternity test, which is equivalent to exposing myself directly in front of him, isn't it?

Depend on!

I never considered this aspect!

Even though I know that what he did was illegal and against the rules!

But what does breaking the law or violating regulations mean in the face of the "hatred of having one's wife stolen"?

He must have been busy all night yesterday, investigating me thoroughly!

It's not that his methods are particularly powerful.

It's not that he has a "former brother-in-law" like Xu Shaokun!

Although Xu Shaokun's intelligence network is all Xu Meijuan's people, he can tell Gao Kai some things he already knows!

They even added fuel to the fire, fueling Gao Kai's hatred even more!

Conversely, Gao Kai could also tell Xu Shaokun the information he had gathered!

First of all, congratulations!

Gao Kai laughed and said, "The child is indeed yours! But... who is the child's mother? Your girlfriend from university? Or...?"

Before he could finish speaking, I interrupted him, saying, "This is my personal privacy! Your prying into my personal life seems inappropriate for someone of your status as a high-ranking leader. Besides... this is illegal!"

"hehe!"

Gao Kai laughed and said, "Young man, don't get so worked up! The fact that I'm talking to you so openly... means I have no ill intentions towards you and consider you a brother. If I really had a grudge against you... I wouldn't have said so much to you, and I would even be happy to see you make a fool of yourself, watching you step by step... walk into the abyss! In the end, you won't even be able to remain a 'knowing ghost'..."

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

He smacked his lips, frowned, and continued, "You're absolutely right! Every citizen's privacy should be fully protected by law, but some things... if it involves a life, then the right to privacy must give way to the right to life, right? I don't know if you've seen the news, but a tragedy happened yesterday. A medical student killed his girlfriend because of a romantic entanglement; a vibrant life was lost... I don't want such a thing to happen again!"

"What do you mean?" I asked, frowning.

Gao Kai took a drag of his cigarette and said with a faint smile, "The child's mother should be Lin Lan, the current wife of the Xu family's young master, right? You two were boyfriend and girlfriend during your university years. This... everyone among your teachers and classmates knows it... Moreover, you didn't date during your graduate studies. You spent your days doing experiments in the pigsty."

Hearing this, my scalp tingled!

What does it mean to have "connections to all levels of society"?

What does it mean to be "omniscient"?

If Gao Kai wants to investigate... he can have people ask my teachers and classmates. What's wrong with me? He can find out everything about me.

"No......"

I frowned and said, "It wasn't her, don't talk nonsense!"

"hehe!"

Gao Kai smiled faintly: "Whether it's hers or not, you know the answer in your heart! That's not the point I want to make!"

He flicked his cigarette ash and continued, "Young man, there are some things you know, but some things you don't! I understand... you two are trying to pull the same old trick as Lord Chunshen and King Chu, using a substitute to have that bastard Xu Shaokun raise your child, but... your girlfriend is no pushover! There's a whole trap here!"

Gao Kai stood up, pacing back and forth as he said, "The Xu family... they're businessmen! Besides being filthy with greed, they're incredibly dirty. They'll stop at nothing to achieve their goals. You can't outsmart them! My brother-in-law has been a cuckold for a long time, but he doesn't know the child is yours. He just thinks it's the child of Song Guolong, the owner of Song's Capital..."

Gao Kai bluntly recounted the dirty dealings between the Song and Xu families... much like what Xu Meijuan had told him last night.

"Surprised?"

After Gao Kai finished speaking, he looked at me with a mischievous grin.

I frowned, remaining silent.

"Your girlfriend... probably didn't tell you these details, right?"

Gao Kai grinned wickedly, "You think you've cheated on Shao Kun? Actually, you've cheated on Boss Song... Xu Shao Kun doesn't care whose child it is, but if Boss Song finds out, what do you think the consequences will be?"

My heart was pounding!

The situation is far more serious than Gao Kai described!

As for Boss Song's side, I think that's nonsense... Duoduo isn't his child, so at most he'll feel like he wasted his money, right?

The key point is that Xu Shaokun doesn't dare to touch Duoduo... because he thinks Duoduo is Song Guolong's child!

But if he finds out that Duoduo is my daughter, he'll be overjoyed! He'll manipulate me even more, and he won't even need to pretend anymore!

My feelings today are incredibly complicated!

On the one hand, I am relieved to know that the test results were scientific and objective, and that no one had tampered with them; Duoduo is indeed my daughter.

On the other hand... the danger level for the daughter has clearly escalated!

"Young man! Don't be nervous! Don't be afraid!"

Gao Kai walked up to me, patted me on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "I won't tell anyone about this! I've said it before, my thought is to prevent further tragedies and deaths!"

"cough......!"

I sighed deeply: "Xu Shaokun knows too, right?"

"snort!"

Gao Kai looked at me meaningfully and smiled faintly: "Why should I tell him? He's not involved. Besides, if Xu Shaokun knew, wouldn't he be able to control you even better?"

wipe!

His words directly revealed my current predicament...

So Gao Kai knew that I was being manipulated by Xu Shaokun!

"I'll say it again!"

Gao Kai frowned and said, "My thought is, let's avoid causing any more deaths! It's better to avoid trouble!"

"Vice Mayor Gao, thank you!" I looked up at him earnestly.

"Oh!"

Gao Kai laughed, "You're welcome! I know, the whole thing between you and Meijuan was a setup by Xu Shaokun... some shady business between a male assistant and a female CEO, deliberately trying to disgust me, to cause a rift between Meijuan and her father, so that the old man would listen to Meijuan's stepmother more... Cough! I was emotional yesterday too, and almost fell for it! After all, I still love Meijuan very much... Meijuan is impulsive and harbors resentment towards me, so she fell for Xu Shaokun's scheme!"

He paused, then continued, "Young man, would you be willing to cooperate with me?"

"How about we team up?"

"Um!"

Gao Kai nodded slyly, and was about to speak when the door suddenly opened and Xu Meijuan walked in!
