After Divorce, I Inherited the Game's Fortune

Chapter 638: 534, The Beauty Left Behind in Jiangcheng (Requesting Monthly Tickets)_2 Chapter 638: 534, The Beauty Left Behind in Jiangcheng (Requesting Monthly Tickets)_2 “What’s gotten into Director Kang?”

“Is it because he didn’t get promoted?”

“His relationship with the new boss can’t be a sham, can it?”

“It shouldn’t be.

The new boss even attended Old Master Kang’s birthday banquet!”

After Kang Zhichao entered the office, everyone immediately started discussing animatedly.

While Sun Hai, who had always been keeping an eye on Kang Zhichao’s movements, walked into Kang Zhichao’s office carrying a small box of tea leaves.

He placed the tea leaves on the desk and smiled, “A friend sent this new tea, try it out.”

“Director Sun, you’re too kind,”

Kang Zhichao managed a forced smile as he thanked him, fully aware of the other’s intentions.

Thus, although he hadn’t secured any promises from Yang Hao, he still had to maintain his “Imperial Family” persona and tried hard to act as usual.

“Old Kang, didn’t you go see Mr.

Yang?”

“What did he say?”

As expected, Sun Hai’s gift of tea was just a cover, and his real motive was to fish for information.

“I directly mentioned that Zhang Fengshou isn’t suitable to be the factory director.

Yang said he would consider it seriously,”

“However, since Zhang Fengshou was only just appointed at the staff meeting, it wouldn’t be good to change orders overnight…”

Kang Zhichao said, while making excuses for himself.

“What about your own position?”

“They can’t just let you continue to linger in the logistics department, right?”

Sun Hai probed again.

“Well, for me…”

Kang Zhichao dragged out his words, then said seriously, “Yang said I could go to any department I want, just let him know.

But, I haven’t decided yet.”

“Moreover, I am Yang’s uncle after all.

It wouldn’t look good if he promoted me right after taking over.

It would seem like he’s playing favorites.”

“So, I was thinking of waiting until the factory’s situation stabilizes completely.

We’ve just completed the privatization, and it’s probably going to be chaotic for a while,”

Although Kang Zhichao’s response seemed rational, it couldn’t fool an old fox like Sun Hai.

When all the flowery talk was stripped away, the reality was that Zhang Fengshou’s position as factory director couldn’t be shaken, and Kang Zhichao’s position hadn’t been adjusted at all; he was still just an assistant director in the logistics department.

“Director Kang, that’s some high awareness you have there,”

“I still have a lot to learn from Director Kang,”

Sun Hai replied perfunctorily, then left Kang Zhichao’s office, already scheming how to get on Zhang Fengshou’s good side.

Because from the current situation, Zhang Fengshou was the real deal!

And Kang Zhichao, this so-called “Imperial Family,” was all show and no substance, just a title with no real use.

After Sun Hai left, Kang Zhichao immediately locked the office door, pondered for a moment, and then dialed his elder sister, Kang Huizhi’s phone.

“Sister, I need your help with something,”

As soon as the call went through, Kang Zhichao started with a crying tone, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

“Zhi Chao, if there’s something wrong, just talk about it,”

On the other end of the phone, Kang Huizhi was startled.

Her younger brother, Kang Zhichao, was already fifty years old, yet he was crying on the phone.@@novelbin@@

Instinctively, Kang Huizhi felt it must be something serious.

“Sister, it’s like this, Yang just acquired our steel factory, and he ended up making my arch-enemy the factory director.

If it were just that, I could probably bear it, but he’s been promoting so many people, except for me.

Everyone in the factory knows I’m his uncle, tell me how am I supposed to mix in the factory now!”

Kang Zhichao was undoubtedly a good actor, speaking with a crying tone, trying to provoke Kang Huizhi’s sympathy with his uncontrolled reaction.

However, Kang Zhichao had chosen the wrong person.

Kang Huizhi knew her brother well and, given that he was clearly in the wrong in this situation, she naturally couldn’t feel sympathy for him; instead, she furrowed her brows.”

While the siblings were talking, Li Baojun was right there.

After hearing his brother-in-law’s complaints, he was speechless and couldn’t help commenting, “Zhi Chao, if you think you can’t handle it at the factory, you might as well quit.

We don’t need to take this kind of nonsense.”

“Uh…..”

After hearing Li Baojun’s words, Kang Zhichao, who had been fostering his emotions, was suddenly stunned.

He even wanted to curse!

Quit if you can’t handle it?

Isn’t that absurd!

Kang Zhichao took a deep breath, calmed his raging emotions, which he would have ordinarily let loose on by screaming, but times had changed.

After all, Li Baojun was Yang Hao’s father-in-law; offending him could completely ruin any chance of his promotion.

“Brother-in-law, you know I’ve been working at the factory for over twenty years, how can I just quit like that!”

“Besides, the steel factory is now Yang’s, it’s our family’s business.

It only makes sense that I help keep an eye on things since Yang is so busy!”

Kang Zhichao argued passionately, his words brimming with righteous indignation.

“He didn’t promote you because he doesn’t want to turn the factory into a family-run business!”

“Zhi Chao, if you really want to support Yang, then don’t cause trouble.

Just do your job well!”

Li Baojun retorted, easily discerning Kang Zhichao’s underlying complaint about not being promoted.

You can’t force someone to promote you, especially when your only reason is being a relative!

Such self-entitlement at your age, and yet so lacking in boundaries!

Kang Zhichao was left speechless by the rebuke, aware that he was in the wrong, but he didn’t really want to reason, or else he wouldn’t have made this call to Kang Huizhi.
