Chapter 610: 518, The Beautiful Employee is a Premium Resource (Requesting Monthly Votes) Chapter 610: 518, The Beautiful Employee is a Premium Resource (Requesting Monthly Votes) Is it unclear what a man who asks for a beautiful woman’s WeChat on their first meeting is up to?
Kang Zhichao, who has lived half a century, knows exactly what’s going on!
He’s just feigning ignorance, that’s all!
He even considered his niece Li Manni, a pretty and already famous hostess, as one of his resources.
After all, if Li Manni were to really add Zheng Dapeng on WeChat to please him, Kang Zhichao could definitely get something good out of Zheng Dapeng – the man would even owe him a favor.
It’s not hard to imagine that because of this matter, Zheng Dapeng would have a higher opinion of Kang Zhichao, and later, there would be a great possibility he’d ask Kang Zhichao to help arrange a meal or something with Li Manni.
Practices like these are quite common in some public institutions or schools; otherwise, there wouldn’t be the saying that young and beautiful female employees (or female teachers) are premium resources.
…
In these public institutions or schools, leaders often introduce young and beautiful female staff to “friends” with interest ties or the sons of higher-ups, and occasionally bring these young and pretty female employees to banquets.
Li Manni had previously been an intern journalist at Jiangcheng Evening News and had encountered such incidents more than once.
Hence, Kang Zhichao’s request immediately reminded her of some unpleasant experiences during her internship, which was why she rejected him so decisively.
At this moment, Zheng Dapeng’s mood had calmed down, for after Kang Zhichao introduced Yang Hao’s status, he immediately connected Yang Hao with the recently famous Mr.
Yang online.
The rumors claim that Mr.
Yang is not only skilled in kung fu but is also a billionaire worth hundreds of billions.
That’s hundreds of billions!
The peak market value of Xiangyang Steel Plant was only around 18 billion, and now its market value had plummeted to about 11 billion, on top of which were large debts and negative assets.
Reliable sources indicate that the province is currently looking to sell the controlling stake in Xiangyang Steel Plant, responding to the national call to complete the deep reform of state-owned enterprises (SOEs).
After the reform, Xiangyang Steel Plant would also become a jointly controlled enterprise by both the state and private sector.
According to the reform experience of other large SOEs, the state is expected to still hold absolute control but will not be involved in the management.
Just comparing Yang Hao’s net worth to the market value of Xiangyang Steel Plant, Zheng Dapeng suddenly felt somewhat intimidated.
If the online rumors were true, the market value of Xiangyang Steel Plant would be merely a fraction of Yang Hao’s net worth.
Even if Xiangyang Steel Plant wasn’t actually his father’s, even if it were, he would still be totally outclassed by someone else in terms of wealth.
Zheng Dapeng, though arrogant and used to being a bully in Xiangyang, wasn’t foolish.
He knew who to mess with and who he couldn’t afford to provoke.
Stirring trouble with a billionaire worth hundreds of billions was clearly not a smart move.
“Zheng Dapeng, I’ve already received the plant’s intention.”
“There are many guests today, so I won’t keep you here for the meal!”
Seeing his youngest son, Kang Zhichao, getting involved, Kang Jingchun gave him an angry glare for his lack of competitiveness, then directly issued an eviction order to Zheng Dapeng.
As a workshop director at a large plant like Xiangyang Steel Plant, Kang Jingchun certainly understood the principle of needing to be wholeheartedly on one side.
Once you’ve chosen a side, you have to stick to it firmly and clearly; you can’t give off the impression of being a fence-sitter.
Otherwise, you might as well not have taken a side at all.
For example, at this moment, Kang Jingchun chose to stand with Yang Hao, so he had to be resolute and no longer waver or compromise.
“Director Kang, I won’t disturb you any further then.”
Having learned about Yang Hao’s identity, Zheng Dapeng didn’t make any more fuss.
Although being sent away like this was somewhat of an embarrassment, he didn’t have a better way to deal with it, especially since Kang Jingchun had spoken, and he certainly couldn’t stick around making a scene at the birthday banquet.
If he did, not only would the guests present have a spectacle to watch, but once back home, his father, Zheng Dongshan, would definitely scold him fiercely.
After all, his visit this time was actually a show on behalf of the plant, to let the employees see that under Zheng Dongshan’s leadership, Xiangyang Steel Plant was humane and had not forgotten the old comrades who had contributed to the plant for decades.
Zheng Dapeng stood up and left his seat, then took a careful look at Yang Hao before turning and walking away.
“Director Zheng, let me see you out.”
Kang Zhichao hurriedly followed him with quick steps; he worked at Xiangyang Steel Plant after all and dared not offend Zheng Dapeng.
Thus, with an eager face, Kang Zhichao escorted Zheng Dapeng out of the banquet hall.
At the door, he turned to glance back into the hall, then whispered, “Director Zheng, don’t take offense at Manni, young people can get a bit carried away with a bit of fame.
I’ll definitely give her a talking-to when I get back.”
“What exactly is Mr.
Yang’s background?”
Zheng Dapeng didn’t hurry off, pulling out a cigarette and putting it in his mouth while offering one to Kang Zhichao as well.
“He, it’s said he’s no small deal…”
Kang Zhichao hurriedly took out a lighter to help Zheng Dapeng light his cigarette, then he lit his own.
After taking a puff, he continued, “Actually, I don’t know the specific details, but the birthday gift he sent to our old man yesterday was pretty valuable, just the gold bars alone there were eight!
And that’s not even counting the cases of Maotai, Wuliangye, and Huazi!”
“Hmm?”
“Eight gold bars!”
Zheng Dapeng was also startled.
Although his family was not short of money, the idea of giving eight gold bars as a birthday gift was still shocking, especially since Kang Jingchun wasn’t of any particular value.
If those gold bars were given to a leader’s father, there would be potential value to that.
But Zheng Dapeng was well aware of Kang Jingchun’s situation.
An eighty-year-old man with no real power, those eight gold bars meant nothing more than throwing money into the water.
In other words, Yang Hao had reached the level where he could casually throw away eight gold bars, which indeed corroborated the rumors of his net worth being in the tens of billions.

“Director Zheng, you and Mr.
Yang are both important figures, better to keep things harmonious and make money together,”
Kang Zhichao advised with a chuckle.
“Hmm, Director Kang is right.”
“Harmony brings wealth, after all.”
Zheng Dapeng nodded, and then casually exhaled a puff of smoke.
However, as his gaze shifted, he noticed two beautiful women walking towards his direction.
One wore a black bodycon mini skirt, revealing her snowy white long legs, while the other was clad in a black business suit, her legs wrapped in flesh-toned stockings.
Both women were about the same height, but the beauty in the business suit had a cool and elegant temperament and was clearly more gorgeous.
As they approached, the difference became even clearer.
The woman in the bodycon dress might look pretty, but her face had the hallmark of an internet celebrity and showed obvious signs of plastic surgery, while the cool and elegant beauty seemed all natural, her face free of any traces of cosmetic procedures.
Stunning!
She could even rival Li Manni!
Zheng Dapeng’s gaze lingered on the cool and elegant beauty in the business suit and couldn’t look away.
Even the cigarette ashes fluttered down onto the back of his hand unnoticed.
While Zheng Dapeng was lost in his reverie, the two beauties had reached the entrance of the banquet hall.
Zheng Dapeng hurriedly flicked off the falling ash, then approached them with a smile, “Ladies, are you here for the birthday banquet?”
“Yes, is there something you need?”
Ye Wei stopped and glanced at Zheng Dapeng.
Dealing with such situations usually fell to her.
“I’m also here for the banquet.
Here’s my business card.”
“May I ask how the lady might be addressed?”
As Zheng Dapeng handed over his business card, he also asked.
Ye Wei took the card and glanced at it, then offered her name, “My name is Ye Wei.”
“And this beauty?”
Zheng Dapeng then turned his attention to Huang Qing, his actual target.
