Sengkang City, inside the Cao family villa.
"Cao Aiqian, don't pretend to be dead, get up." A stern growling voice woke up Xia Aiqian who was lying in bed.
Xia Aiqian slowly opened her eyes, and saw a tall man in front of her with sleepy eyes. She rubbed her eyes with her hands, and her vision gradually became clearer in an instant, but her head was still aching faintly.
What the hell is this place? Who is this man in front of me?
Cao Kouwen was wearing a straight office suit, as if he was running from the office building. It must have been raining, and there were water stains on his trouser legs. He was extraordinarily tall. When he stood there, he looked like half of a city wall. His smooth and white face showed sharp edges and coldness, his deep black eyes glowed with a charming luster, and his thick black sword-shaped eyebrows , high nose, and thin lips full of ruthlessness, she swallowed involuntarily.
This is not a human being, this is obviously the Prince Charming from the fairy tale. Xia Ai looked at it with an infatuated look, and was fascinated for a moment.
Cao Kouwen looked at Xia Aiqian who looked dazed, "Are you awake? Aunt Liu, calculate how much medical money was spent in total and charge it to her account." Cao Kouwen said to the housekeeper standing beside him, his voice without any warmth. .
Accounting, this doesn’t look like being in a hospital, does it? Xia Aiqian was thinking about it and was about to ask.
"Miss, you already owe a lot of money! How about you be more lenient this time?" the housekeeper asked timidly before Xia Aiqian.
Cao Kouwen glanced at the housekeeper coldly. The housekeeper lowered his head thoughtfully and wrote something down in his notebook. Cao Kouwen walked straight out of the bedroom.
"There is also the study on the second floor after dinner." Cao Kouwen walked to the bedroom door and turned to Xia Aiqian and said in a serious tone that did not allow for any discussion.
"Oops." Just when Xia Aiqian wanted to ask about the situation, a sudden severe headache made her groan. "Miss, you have a good rest and I'll get you something to eat." After the housekeeper said that, he quickly walked out of the room in a panic.
Xia Aiqian rubbed her head and slowly lay on the bed. The pain in her head made her close her eyes. A voice came from nowhere in my ears: Welcome to another parallel time and space in the 21st world. I am the time and space administrator. You must not speak or open your eyes.
The place you are now in is Sengkang City, the capital of China. The economy and culture of this time and space are 20 years behind your original time and space. In order to achieve the economic balance of each time and space, we randomly selected some people from each advanced time and space to promote the long-term backward time and space. economic development.
I have implanted the original owner's information into your brain. Now you sign a contract with us to start your time and space journey. The validity period is ten years. After ten years, you will return to your original world.
What the hell?
Xia Ai sat up from the bed and shook her head a few times. Her head no longer hurt and there was a lot more information that was not her personal.
She had an exquisitely packaged contract document bag in her hand. She picked it up and looked at it. There were a few big words written on it: Your main task is to develop the economy of this time and space. As a reward, you can choose one of the following to bring back your original world.
1. Money 2. Men
Poof, Xia Aiqian laughed out loud when she saw the word man. What man? I am Xia Aiqian, oh, no, my name is Cao Aiqian now.
No matter what it is called, he was no different from an orphan in his own world. After his grandma passed away, he lived alone. If you insist on money, you won’t care about any man anymore. You will be poor in your original world!
It’s just that if you want me to engage in economics, you don’t need to time travel to a 16-year-old student! Besides, this high school student is the adopted daughter of the famous, arrogant and notorious Shengfeng Group in Sengkang City!
She was brought back from the orphanage 10 years ago by the Cao family, the president of Shengfeng Group, and his wife, who raised her as their own daughter. At that time, the bustling city of Sengkang was envied by everyone, but later on, under the pampering of his couple, he became a naughty boy that everyone lamented.
No, just over a month into her freshman year of high school, she bullied several girls in school. On the way out of school, these girls retaliated and pushed her into the river. If Cao Kouwen hadn't received a call from an enthusiastic citizen, , she might have drowned.
Cao Aiqian found it inexplicably funny when he thought of this. He was so hated and yet he was still engaged in the wool economy! I used to be bullied in school, but now I am a bully?
Just make peace with it as you come. After all, I traveled through a wealthy family and signed a money-making contract. I must have wanted me to use up all the wealth of this wealthy businessman.
"Hahaha" Cao Ai laughed lightly thinking of this.
As for the mission of the space-time administrator to promote the development of backward space-time economy, his thinking gradually went astray.
After a quick dinner, it was already a bit dark in Sengkang City in October.
As an interior designer, Cao Aiqian originally wanted to visit this house, but she remembered that Cao Kouwen had said in the afternoon that she should go to the study in the evening. Based on the memory of the original owner, he went to the study room on the second floor, knocked on the door gently, and walked in when no one answered.
The decoration style of the study is completely different from other study rooms. There is no gorgeous and luxurious feeling, only a simple and clean one. The bookshelves are filled with ancient books, classics, and some old-looking pen holders and ink cartridges, which reflect the maturity and solemnity of the owner of the house.
This doesn’t seem like the style that Cao Kouwen, a 25-year-old energetic boy, likes!
"Cao Aiqian, you are quite active today." A deep and cold voice came from behind.
positive? This sounds very much like a teacher educating students.
In fact, Cao Aiqian and Cao Kouwen have always been at odds with each other. It may be that her brother is very stingy and has a lot of control over her.
Being overwhelmed by all the big and small things in the company every day, and having to control her naughty sister when she got home, Cao Aiqian shook her head helplessly and amusedly when she thought of this.
"Do you know why I came to you?" While Cao Aiqian was in a daze, Cao Kouwen was already sitting on the armchair of the desk, with his arms crossed on his chest, and his eyes were looking at her seriously.
What nonsense, of course Cao Aiqian knew what it was about, and it wasn't because the original owner bullied his classmates in school.
When Cao Kouwen saw that Cao Aiqian was silent, he took out the ruler from the drawer.
What the hell, you're going to get a beating as soon as you cross over?
"Hey, I'm not your sister. Don't hit someone when we first meet." Cao Aiqian hurriedly took a few steps back and said with a panicked and timid expression. She originally wanted to tell Cao Kouwen about the time travel, but then she thought that the contract stated that her identity could not be revealed. Besides, Cao Kouwen, an old-fashioned person, probably wouldn't believe it.
Cao Kouwen walked towards her as if he hadn't heard her at all. "You haven't made trouble again and again. Now everyone in Sengkang City has made trouble and doesn't know that Shengfeng Group has an arrogant and domineering young lady!" His voice was not loud, but it revealed extremely strong pressure and momentum.
Cao Aiqian was startled. She raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of her, pretending to be calm and asked: "Then what do you want?" When she said this, her face turned red.
"I remember you promised me last time that if you continue to bully classmates in school, you will slap your palms 20 times." Cao Kowen said calmly, as if he was used to it.
20 times? I have been a good child in the eyes of my teachers and parents since I was a child. Later, when I started working, I was also a good employee in the eyes of my leaders. But having never been taught a lesson by anyone, Cao Aiqian glanced at Cao Kouwen out of the corner of her eye.
It was certain that he was really angry, and it seemed that a beating was inevitable.
"Then come on." Cao Aiqian stretched out his hand and said calmly, pretending to be calm. A trace of surprise flashed in Cao Kouwen's eyes, but he still hit him without hesitation.
pia! pia! pia!
It turned out that the palms of the legendary spankers were so painful that Cao Aiqian started to shed tears after a few blows, but she still spread her palms and bit her lips with a stubborn look on her face. "Do you know you are wrong?" Cao Kowen asked, putting down the commandments in his hands.
"Yeah, I got it," Cao Aiqian pretended to be non-committal and responded.
I know your brother-in-law, is this how you usually beat your sister? No wonder your sister hates you so much.
"If you still have medical expenses, remember to pay them to me at the end of the month, or they may be deducted directly from your living expenses for a few months," Cao Kouwen continued.
"How much does it cost to cover the cost of living expenses?" Cao Aiqian pouted and muttered, but in her heart she wanted to tear this man's heart out.
"10,000, I hired the best private doctor in Sengkang City. The previous bill was more than 40,000, including overdue interest, the total is 60,000." Cao Kouwen slowly sat down and leaned on the chair, speaking with a tone of voice He looked at her with a hint of cunning and amusement.
I'm really convinced, Cao Kouwen is really stingy, a money-mad man, and he calculates so clearly. Isn’t this family that traveled through time rich? Will my company face an economic crisis as soon as I travel through time? Cao Aiqian's cheeks were so angry that he looked down at the date on his phone: October 15, 2000, half a month before the end of the month.
"Okay, I promise you." Cao Aiqian didn't know how she had the courage to say this. Maybe it was just to show off her strength, because the next second, she regretted it in her heart.
