Chapter 615: 521, Can’t Hide the Trillion Worth Anymore (Request for Monthly Pass) Chapter 615: 521, Can’t Hide the Trillion Worth Anymore (Request for Monthly Pass) Yang Hao didn’t return to the hotel last night, and Miss Color was quite disappointed.
After all, it had been a long time since they had seen each other, and even though they finally met, Miss Color still wanted to have a deeper exchange.
She thought about teasing him today and had plans to slip away to the upstairs or the car to make up for what they hadn’t done last night after the birthday banquet.
Just as Miss Color was trying to set the mood, Zheng Donglai already arrived at the main table, flanked by Zheng Dapeng and Kang Zhichao.
“I didn’t expect my old birthday to cause such a stir that Mr.
Zheng would come.”
Kang Jingchun got up to exchange pleasantries.
Although he hadn’t waited for Zheng Dongshan to start the banquet, as a host, Old Master Kang had to be courteous now that the guest had arrived.
…
“It’s only right.
Director Kang was an outstanding employee of Xiangyang Steel Plant.”
“If I hadn’t just returned from a meeting in the provincial city, I would have been here earlier.”
As Zheng Dongshan spoke, he gave Liu a look, and Liu immediately handed over two bottles of Maotai.
Although Zheng Dapeng had already presented a birthday gift on behalf of the factory, Zheng Dongshan, as the head of a big factory, couldn’t possibly arrive empty-handed.
“Mr.
Zheng, please take a seat.”
“I’ve had the waiter replace the cutlery with new ones and ordered them to make some new dishes as well!”
Kang Zhichao eagerly pointed to his own seat, having arranged with the waiter to order some substantial dishes while going to meet Zheng Dongshan.
Kang Zhichao was quite proud of this move of his, thinking that since everyone disagreed with the idea of setting up a new table, ordering a few dishes should be fine, right?
Indeed, from Kang Zhichao’s perspective, there wasn’t anything wrong with what he had done, as Zheng Dongshan was the director of the Xiangyang Steel Plant and held Kang Zhichao’s future in his hands.
A little flattering certainly wasn’t excessive.
“Mr.
Zheng, despite your busy schedule, you still made time to wish the old man a happy birthday.
I really appreciate it and would like to toast to you!”
Once Zheng Dongshan was seated, Kang Zhifei started to make conversation while holding a glass of wine.
As a businessman, Kang Zhifei’s main approach was to be amiable, and though Old Master Kang had sided with Yang Hao, he agreed with it, but he also didn’t want to offend Zheng Dongshan.
For him, both Yang Hao and Zheng Dongshan were important figures, and forming a good relationship with them was the best outcome.
“Old Kang, I heard your company has been doing well recently.”
“At a meeting in the provincial city, someone mentioned your company as well.”
Zheng Dongshan clinked his glass with Kang Zhifei, took a small sip, and chatted.
The two were of the same age and had known each other for a long time, but they didn’t interact much due to the differences in status and identity.
“Just doing some small business to make a living,” Kang Zhifei said with a modest smile.
“Old Kang, you’re too modest.”
“Being your own boss is much more comfortable than being a factory director like me.”
Zheng Dongshan sighed, even though he managed a group worth over ten billion.
The factory was state-owned, after all, and the amount of money he could pocket personally was limited; moreover, if you pocketed too much, there was a great risk involved.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zheng Dongshan toasted the birthday celebrant, Kang Jingchun, and inquired about his health and living situation, promising that the factory would find ways to help if there were any difficulties.
Zheng Dongshan’s words were partly out of politeness and partly for the benefit of the Xiangyang Steel Plant employees in attendance.
As an old fox, Kang Jingchun didn’t take his words seriously and just responded with a few courteous replies.
“There are not a few young people at today’s gathering.”
“They must be the third generation of the Kang family.”
Putting down his wine glass, Zheng Dongshan glanced at Li Manni, Huang Qing, and Yang Hao, among others.
In fact, he had recognized upon arriving at the main table that the person his son was interested in must be Li Manni.
Even though Huang Qing was also attractive, the two women were very different in style.
What Zheng Dapeng had told him was that Kang Jingchun’s granddaughter was gentle and kind-hearted, a type that Huang Qing obviously wasn’t.
“Yes, there are grandchildren and granddaughters, as well as grandsons and granddaughters from outside the family.”
Kang Jingchun, unaware of Zheng Dongshan’s intentions, casually replied.
“Mr.
Zheng, this is my son Kang Xiaowei.
You’ve met him when he was a child.”
Seeing that Zheng Dongshan seemed interested in the third generation of the Kang family, Kang Zhifei immediately pointed to his son Kang Xiaowei and introduced him, while giving his own son a meaningful look.
“Uncle Zheng, I’d like to toast to you.”
“I’ll finish my drink, and you can do as you please.”
Kang Xiaowei had always been learning right beside his father, and he understood exactly what his father’s look meant.

He stood up, raised his glass, drank it all at once, and then turned the glass upside down to show it was empty.
“You’ve all grown up so much, in my memory, you are still in high school!”
Zheng Dongshan laughed heartily, lifted his glass, and sipped a little.
Since the younger generation was giving a toast, it wasn’t necessary to drink it all, but it was still polite to reciprocate the gesture.
“Mr.
Zheng, I need to make a special introduction here.”
After introducing his own son, Kang Zhifei stood up from his seat, and carrying his wine glass, he made his way over to Yang Hao.
Kang Zhifei had thought Zheng Dongshan came specifically because of Yang Hao, but when Zheng Dongshan sat down, he either chatted with Kang Zhifei or engaged in small talk with Kang Jingchun, without taking any initiative to speak to Yang Hao, even when discussing the younger generation.
Obviously, he was unaware of Yang Hao’s status.
Otherwise, someone as savvy as Zheng Dongshan wouldn’t have overlooked Yang Hao.
So, after introducing his own son, Kang Zhifei hurriedly introduced Yang Hao.
“Mr.
Zheng, this is Yang Hao, the owner of both Tianmei Media and Maetian Entertainment, two giant entertainment companies in the country.”
