After Divorce, I Inherited the Game's Fortune

Chapter 631: 530, A Fox Exploiting the Tiger’s Might (Requesting Monthly Tickets) Chapter 631: 530, A Fox Exploiting the Tiger’s Might (Requesting Monthly Tickets) Xiangyang Steel Plant.

The grand auditorium was bustling with people, as staff from the logistics and plant offices were all mobilized to prepare for the upcoming staff meeting.

The related banners and seating had been mostly arranged, and the last corrections and checks were underway.

“Director Kang, please take good care of us in the future.”

“Yes, Director Kang, don’t forget us old colleagues.”

“Calling him Director Kang, I reckon it won’t be long before we have to call him Director Kang!”

A few workers from logistics and the plant office were surrounding Kang Zhichao, chattering and flattering him.

Thanks to Kang Zhichao’s deliberate promotion, his relationship with the new owner of Xiangyang Steel Plant was well known within the plant; it was common knowledge that Kang Zhichao was the new factory director’s uncle.

As a result, although there were several leaders arranging the scene with higher ranks than him, they all actively relinquished command.

Whether it was the height of the banners or the placement of flower pots, they all sought Kang Zhichao’s opinion, who had already become Yang Hao’s spokesperson in the steel plant.

After all, the steel plant was not the same as before; it used to be a large state-owned enterprise, where everyone shared the communal pot and leaders had to have a valid reason to lay off a regular employee; they could not act arbitrarily.

But now that the steel plant had become a private enterprise, who stayed and who left was entirely up to the big boss, and Kang Zhichao was the big boss’s uncle.

With that being the case, whom he chose to fire was just a matter of saying the word.

Therefore, Kang Zhichao, who did not hold a high position, suddenly became the person with the greatest “power and influence” in the plant.

Even Kang Zhichao’s direct supervisor, Sun Hai, the director of the logistics department, had no choice but to curry favor with his own subordinate, even proactively offering his large office to Kang Zhichao.@@novelbin@@

However, Kang Zhichao had not become that conceited; he tactfully declined Sun Hai’s kindness.

Listening to the surrounding words of flattery, Kang Zhichao was clearly pleased, with the corners of his mouth continuously turned up as if they were harder to suppress than an AK!

“Old Kang, Mr.

Zheng and the others will be here in half an hour.”

“See if there’s anything else that needs adjusting.”

That’s when Sun Hai came over, his position as the director of logistics quite authoritative.

Although he felt a fire burning inside, his surface treatment of his subordinate Kang Zhichao was extremely courteous.

There was no helping it; Sun Hai, like many other employees, had spent most of his life working at Xiangyang Steel Plant.

If they had to leave the steel plant, they wouldn’t know what else they could do.

So, Sun Hai, along with most of the employees, naturally hoped to stay in the plant.

To them, maintaining a good relationship with Kang Zhichao seemed crucial for staying.

Sun Hai’s lowly attitude naturally pleased Kang Zhichao.

Back when he was under Sun Hai, the latter had not spared any effort to suppress him, slamming the table and cursing at him more than once.

Now that the tables had turned and Sun Hai was so polite, it naturally satisfied Kang Zhichao immensely.

However, Kang Zhichao was the type to hold grudges, no matter how much Sun Hai tried to ingratiate himself.

The past grievances could not be forgotten; Kang Zhichao had already made up his mind that once he was promoted, he would surely take his revenge.

“Director Sun, if you think it’s fine then that’s enough.”

“Or, you can ask Director Liu!”

Kang Zhichao pointed to Liu Guomin, the head of the director’s office, not far away.

His rank was the same as Sun Hai’s, but the plant office staff was usually revolving around several senior leaders, thus generally holding a slightly higher status than the logistics department.

“If you feel it’s fine, then it’s okay.”

Sun Hai’s gaze only swept towards Liu Guomin briefly before he turned his attention back, deciding it was more important to please Kang Zhichao at this time.

As for Liu Guomin of the plant office, he was Zheng Dongshan’s man.

As the saying goes, “Once the emperor changes, so do his courtiers.” It was highly likely that Liu Guomin, the head of the director’s office, would be replaced – at best he might get a different position, at worst, he might be fired outright.

Having mixed in the state enterprise for most of his life, Kang Zhichao naturally understood that Sun Hai had made his choice and was determined to cling to his own coattails.

Well, if this was his attitude, then forgiveness wasn’t out of the question.

Returning the previous grievances bit by bit in future work wasn’t a bad way to take revenge.

Kang Zhichao thought contentedly to himself and then looked around ostentatiously before nodding: “I think it’s fine.”

“`

“There’s no problem then!”

“`

Sun Hai gave a forced smile and then shouted at a staff member of the factory office who was still fussling with a flowerpot, “Xiao Yu, stop fussing with that flowerpot!”

“Director Kang said it’s okay!”

Under normal circumstances, the factory office wouldn’t take orders from the logistics department, but the situation was different this time.

Everyone knew that Kang Zhichao was the uncle of the big boss, and who dared to disobey his orders?

So the man called “Xiao Yu” hurriedly stopped and even nodded obsequiously towards Kang Zhichao, “Director Kang, if you think anything is amiss, just call me.”

“Mm, everything’s fine.”

Kang Zhichao nodded in satisfaction, pleased with Xiao Yu’s attitude.

This is what’s called knowing the times is what makes a man wise.

As the time for the staff meeting was drawing near, workers were already starting to enter the auditorium.

Xiangyang Steel Plant had a total of 16,000 employees; naturally, not everyone could be present on-site.

Those who could attend the big meeting in the auditorium were either from positions that were not too busy or outstanding employee representatives.

The people arriving now were from the steel refining factory and the Cold Rolling Factory, led by Zhang Fengshou, the vice director in charge of production.

Today, Zhang Fengshou wore a suit, which he seldom wore, his hair combed impeccably, and his beard was shaved clean.

In fact, in the past few days, Zhang Fengshou’s image and personal state had greatly changed from before.

He used to be in work clothes almost all the time, and he was always soaked in various subsidiary factories and workshops.

But recently he had started to pay attention to his image, and he was no longer in that previously desolate state.

“Zhang Fengshou must be keeping a mistress outside, why else is he getting more flamboyant by the day?”

Sun Hai knew that the relationship between Kang Zhichao and Zhang Fengshou had soured, and he deliberately started gossiping in front of Kang Zhichao.

“Who knows!”

“It wouldn’t surprise me if he really was.”

Kang Zhichao sneered disdainfully, harboring resentment towards the “rebel” raised by his father.

Already a vice director and still not giving me a hand!

Acting above it all, huh?!

Kang Zhichao glanced over at Zhang Fengshou and others, then looked at the nameplates on the podium and immediately found a mistake because Zhang Fengshou was placed in the position of the first vice director, yet he was ranked last out of the four vice directors.

“Director Sun, who arranged these nameplates?”

“The position is obviously wrong!”

Kang Zhichao said with a tense face, and without waiting for Sun Hai to respond, he walked straight to the table and moved Zhang Fengshou’s nameplate from the position of the first vice director to the side.

The podium was under the spotlight, and Kang Zhichao’s action was so conspicuous that everyone present could see it clearly.

Just arriving at the auditorium and still below the stage, Zhang Fengshou naturally saw it too.

The plant director of a subsidiary factory and two workshop directors who were following him also noticed, and all three subconsciously looked at Zhang Fengshou.

Kang Zhichao had plenty of chances to change the nameplate’s position earlier or later, but he chose to do it just when Zhang Fengshou arrived, the provocative intent all too apparent.

“Fengshou brother, Kang is being a bit too much.”

“Yeah, Kang Zhichao is clearly trying to make you look bad!”

After all, Zhang Fengshou was the vice director, and he had been in the plant for so long; he had several staunch supporters, and the two speaking up for him were among them.
