After Divorce, I Inherited the Game's Fortune

Chapter 626: 527, Wholly-owned Acquisition (Request for Monthly Tickets) Chapter 626: 527, Wholly-owned Acquisition (Request for Monthly Tickets) “Director Kang, let me hear any insider news you’ve got.”

Seeing Zhang Fengshou go upstairs, Wei Mingjun then spoke up.

“The big boss coming to our unit later is my niece’s boyfriend, owning assets worth over a hundred billion.

Mr.

Zheng was able to connect with him only because he attended my dad’s birthday banquet!”

Kang Zhichao said with considerable pride.

He mentioned the banquet specifically for Wei Mingjun’s benefit because Wei hadn’t attended the banquet the previous day.

Clearly, Kang Zhichao’s remark was meant to show off.

Upon hearing this, Wei Mingjun was genuinely surprised.

He and Kang Zhichao were only casually acquainted, and since Kang was lower in rank, like many others, Wei just had someone deliver a small red envelope to the banquet as a token gesture.

In Wei’s view, such occasions weren’t worth his personal attendance, especially since he had already communicated with Zheng Dongshan beforehand, who mentioned that Zheng Dapeng would represent the plant.

However, now Kang Zhichao was saying that Zheng Dongshan had gone to the banquet, which was different from the information Wei had gathered beforehand!

Even more so, Kang Zhichao also mentioned that Zheng Dongshan had met a billionaire at the banquet.

He found this quite absurd!

The idea that one of the few super-rich tycoons in the country would attend Kang Jingchun’s birthday was hardly believable.

“A billionaire big boss?”

“Should be quite well-known across the country, right?”

“Your grandfather has such connections??”

Wei Mingjun expressed his skepticism.

“Does Mr.

Yang know him?”

“It’s the Mr.

Yang who’s been very popular on the internet recently!”

Kang Zhichao immediately replied.

“The one who single-handedly took down over a dozen robbers?”

Clearly, Wei Mingjun had also seen that video and he incredulously asked in return.

“Yes, that Mr.

Yang.”

“He’s my third sister’s son-in-law, coming this time to celebrate my grandfather’s birthday, and he even brought eight gold bars just for a birthday gift!”

“Even his driver is worth several billion; they really aren’t short on money!”

Kang Zhichao boasted quite smugly.

All this time, his position at Xiangyang Steel Plant had been a bit awkward.

Being a deputy, he had little power; both higher-ups and ordinary workers were indifferent toward him.

Especially the higher-ups, who never really took him seriously, Wei Mingjun being one of them.

Today, Kang Zhichao felt he could finally hold his head high, so he didn’t hide his excitement in front of Wei.

“Eight gold bars for a birthday present!”

“Your grandfather must be rich now!”

Wei Mingjun commented, then added, “But, Director Kang, since you have such powerful connections, you should have leveraged them sooner.

Why stick around in our shabby plant?”

Mingjun, being the deputy director, had always held a status much higher than Kang Zhichao’s and somewhat despised his sudden display of smugness.

He outright expressed his thoughts.

The meaning was clear.

If you have such powerful relatives and capabilities, why bother working in the plant?

Kang Zhichao, having worked in the plant most of his life, could sense the underlying tone in Wei’s words.

In the past, he would’ve caved and not dared to argue.

But now it was different.

Yang Hao was soon to arrive at the plant to discuss a partnership, and as per his “arrangement” yesterday, Yang would sit in his office for a while.

This would definitely skyrocket his status within the plant; Zheng Dongshan might even promote him to push through the deal.

So, facing Wei Mingjun’s aggressive response, Kang Zhichao simply shrugged: “I’m about to get that opportunity to utilize it.

Once Mr.

Yang’s collaboration with our plant is finalized, me being his uncle-in-law might shake things up from my current position.”

“Right, Mr.

Wei?”

Hearing this, Wei Mingjun raised his eyebrows.

If what Kang Zhichao said was true, he really might turn things around.

After all, he was “the uncle” of Mr.

Yang, and becoming a deputy director was quite likely.

That would place them on equal footing, or depending on their family connection, Kang might even surpass him in status.

Thinking this, Wei Mingjun suddenly felt annoyed.

He really disliked Kang’s suddenly smug demeanor, but from a practical standpoint, he had to improve their relationship.

Who knew whether Mr.

Yang would succeed in investing!

Wei Mingjun, having attained the deputy director position, was certainly skilled, particularly in interpersonal relations, capable of both bending and stretching.

With circumstances changing, he could no longer afford to treat Kang Zhichao the way he had before.

Silently sighing, he switched to a smile, put an arm around Kang’s shoulder, and said, “Director Kang, I’ll have to rely on you from now on.

Let’s share any news regarding the investment.”

“Sure thing!”

“I’ll let you know as soon as I hear anything, Mr.

Wei.”

Kang Zhichao hastily agreed, happily accepting the olive branch thrown by Wei Mingjun.

“Mr.

Zheng should be arriving soon; I’ll go wait for him to ask about the situation.

Not joining Kang Zhichao in going upstairs, Wei Mingjun said goodbye and headed toward the entrance of the office building.

For someone in his position as deputy director, whether Yang Hao was investing in or acquiring Xiangyang Steel Plant was a big deal, affecting his own interests.

Thus, he was eager to know how things were progressing, and currently, the only source of information was Zheng Dongshan.
