After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Xu Bo'an always felt that the fact that he was about to leave office was kept pretty well confidential and not many people should know about it.

But now, when he heard someone say "the real boss of Dongjiang Erjian", Xu Bo'an felt like a puppet.

With seven parts of doubt and three parts of anger in his heart, Xu Boan pushed open the door and walked in.

Hearing someone coming in, the people in the room subconsciously looked towards the door.

When Liu Quan saw Xu Bo'an, his eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly walked over and said, "Mr. Xu, you're here."

Shi Changliang also followed closely and stood beside Malu, greeting him, "Brother-in-law, Brother Xu, I'm sorry to trouble you." While speaking, Shi Changliang did not forget to look at Liu Wei who was standing side by side with Malu, with a strange look in his eyes.

It's not that Shi Changliang fell in love with Liu Wei, but seeing Ma Lu getting so close to this woman gave Shi Changliang a sense of crisis. After all, he always regarded Ma Lu as his brother-in-law. If Ma Lu married someone else, how could he call him "brother-in-law" in the future?
Moreover, Shi Changliang has been waiting for his sister and Malu to remarry! What if Malu really finds a new lover, what will his sister do?
Malu didn't notice Shi Changliang's strange look, he just looked at the people opposite with a cold face.

Needless to say, it was those people who bullied Shi Changliang.

Seeing the commotion here, several people on the opposite side also looked over with grim expressions.

Someone immediately shouted impatiently: "What are you yelling about! Who among you is from Dongjiang No. 2 Construction?"

The man who was speaking was short and wore an unbuttoned suit, revealing a large gold chain around his neck. It was unclear whether it was real or fake.

Xu Boan glanced at the man, and then he heard Liu Quan approach him and whispered to him, "Boss Xu, this guy just came here not long ago, and he was very noisy, saying that he knew many leaders in our company. I asked him a few questions, but I haven't gotten anything out of him yet."

Xu Bo'an nodded, took two steps forward, and then said to the man, "Let's be frank. I'm from Dongjiang Erjian! Now it's my turn to ask you, who are you and what are you doing here?"

The man wearing the big gold chain ignored Xu Boan and said arrogantly: "Who am I? I just want to ask you one question. Since you are from Dongjiang No. 2 Construction, do you know Brother Mao?"

Cat brother?
Xu Boan shook his head. What the hell? He had never heard of this name.

When did such a "brother" appear in Dongjiang Second Construction? Am I ignorant? This shouldn't be the case. I haven't resigned from the position of chief engineer of Dongjiang Second Construction yet. If there are any new personnel changes, I should be the first to know about it.

What's more, he had just met and chatted with Zheng Qiudong, the human resources director of the Construction Group, last night. Given their relationship, if there were major personnel changes, it would be impossible for him not to tell him anything at all.

"Never heard of it!" Xu Boan shook his head matter-of-factly.

The man opposite saw Xu Bo'an like this, and a look of contempt appeared on his face. He said disdainfully: "You don't even know Brother Mao, and you still have the nerve to say that you are a leader! I said, Dongjiang Erjian is such a big company, with so many projects, so many departments and positions on the projects, and so many business channels. If someone can make it to the point where his family has to run away to do small business, he must not be doing well."

Hearing the other party's disdainful tone, Xu Bo'an remained unmoved. He frowned and asked in confusion: "So, who is Brother Mao?"

Seeing that Xu Boan really didn't even know who Brother Mao was, and looked sincere and curious, the man wearing the big gold chain seemed even more imposing.

He picked up a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Just as he was about to light it, he heard a Wanda Plaza staff member come forward to dissuade him: "Sir, this is a smoke-free mall. Smoking is not allowed."

The man glared at me and shouted in dissatisfaction, "Why are you yelling? You used my stones a lot from the beginning of construction. I don't know how many times your Vice President Liu and I have eaten together. I have smoked a lot in his office. Why don't you call him to tell me not to smoke?"

The staff member seemed to want to say something, but his companion quietly pulled him aside and whispered, "Okay, Xiao Ding, it's better to have less trouble than more. We are here to let them adjust. Don't get involved to avoid getting yourself into trouble. Why do you have to work so hard to earn such a small amount of money? Isn't it better to get off work on time?"
Xiao Ding wanted to say something, but finally moved his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself, but he still didn't say anything more.

The man with the big gold chain seemed very satisfied with his dignity and airs. He took a deep puff of his cigarette, blew out smoke rings proudly, looked at Xu Boan teasingly, and said, "Listen carefully, kid. Brother Mao is the largest material supplier for your Dongjiang Erjian. Almost half of your company's projects use Brother Mao's sand and gravel."

Sand and gravel! Cat brother?

When Xu Boan heard this, he suddenly understood.

What cat brother? It turns out to be an old cat!
It turns out that the Brother Mao this guy was talking about was not a staff member of Dongjiang Erjian.

He is the supplier of sand and gravel for several projects under the company, and I paved the way for him myself.

Originally, Lao Mao was a sand and gravel dealer whom Xu Boan met when he was working on a project in Xihe County, which is under the jurisdiction of Dongjiang City. Therefore, he got to know Xu Boan and made a lot of money on that project.

Later, not long ago, because Xu Boan suppressed the Chen father and son, the original major supplier of sand and gravel for Dongjiang Erjian, a lot of sand and gravel supply business was freed up for many projects. Because of Xu Boan's face, Lao Mao's business developed and grew rapidly.

In other words, it's not that Xu Boan has never heard of the great Cat Brother mentioned by this guy with a big gold chain, but he has never thought about it in that way at all.

Xu Boan felt a bit amused and helpless for a moment. After all the trouble, he found out that the green bull under the seat of Taishang Laojun had turned into a spirit.

It wasn't just Xu Boan who suddenly realized something. Liu Quan standing next to him was also stunned for a moment, and then he relaxed completely.

Wow, after such a big turn, the support behind this arrogant man on the other side turned out to be Mr. Xu's younger brother!
Liu Quan also knew Lao Mao. On several occasions at dinner parties, Lao Mao would sincerely lower his wine glass, respectfully call himself "Director Liu", and then drink it all in one gulp. His attitude was very appropriate.

After all, Liu Quan is not only the internal manager of Dongjiang Erjian, but also Xu Boan's right-hand man in the company, so the old cat naturally has to respect him.

Even the old cat knew to be restrained in front of him, but he didn't expect that this guy who came out of nowhere would want to bully him. Xu Boan looked at the short man in front of him with amusement, pretending to be stupid and asked again: "Haha, it turns out that the cat brother you are talking about is not an employee of our Dongjiang Second Construction, I thought..."

Before Xu Boan could finish his words, the man interrupted him impatiently and said with disdain, "What do you think? You look like a nobody. You don't even have the acumen to understand the workplace. Have you ever thought about why Brother Mao can become the largest material supplier for your company?

Xu Bo watched him perform happily, and continued to ask with an honest look: "Why?"

The man curled his lips in disdain and said with contempt, "Idiot, of course it's because of his strong background. You don't know yet, Brother Mao and your company's most powerful leader, Mr. Xu Bo'an, are sworn brothers. You must know Xu Bo'an, right? He is your company's!"

As he spoke, the man raised his thumb and shook it a few times, and continued, "Don't underestimate him because he is only the chief engineer of your company and not the general manager. He is the de facto boss and the real boss of Dongjiang Erjian! It is because of Mr. Xu's care that Brother Mao has such a big business today."

When the man said this, several acquaintances other than Liu Quan also came to their senses.

Others may not know who Lao Mao is because they have no contact with him, but they know exactly who Xu Bo'an is.

My goodness, the other party has been talking for so long, it turns out that the big backer he relies on is actually his enemy.

Is this play so interesting?
It's just like you had a fight with a stranger on the street, and went back home to complain, only to find out that the person you beat was your own mother and fourth uncle whom you haven't seen for many years and whom you can't afford to offend.

Withstanding the risk of bursting out laughing, Xu Bo pretended to have suddenly understood something, nodded, and said excitedly, "I see. So you are Brother Mao. I'm so sorry."

The man with the big gold chain angrily scolded: "What are you looking at? I'm not Brother Cat! Didn't I say I'm Brother Cat?"

Xu Bo'an seemed to be relieved and said, "Oh... So you are not Brother Cat. You have been telling me how powerful Brother Cat is for a long time. I thought it was you!"

The man with the big gold chain shouted angrily: "Brother Mao, you have a point. To tell you the truth, Brother Mao is my big brother, and I am his right-hand man. Because Brother Mao's business is too big now, he can't handle it alone, so he assigned me two projects to follow."

Xu Bo'an nodded and said, "So that's how it is. It seems that Old Cat really thinks highly of you!"

The man with the gold chain said viciously, "What do you mean by old cat? You are the one who called me old cat. If Brother Cat knew that you were so disrespectful to him, he would teach you a lesson."

Xu Boan smiled disapprovingly and said, "Haha, sorry, I'm used to calling you that."

The man sneered and said, "Are you used to calling them that? Boy, I think you are used to calling them dad and mom. Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty here? I've already seen it just now. You don't even know who Brother Cat is!"

Xu Bo'an said calmly: "You said you are Lao Mao and your elder brother, so you should know his phone number."

The man with the gold chain rolled his eyes and said, "Nonsense, I know Brother Mao's phone number by heart. Not to mention that I have it in my phone book, even if someone calls me on my landline, I can recognize Brother Mao's phone number. And, I'll say it again, call Brother Mao!"

Xu Boan nodded and said, "That's easy. Take a look and see if this number is from the big brother you mentioned, Brother Cat!"

As he was talking, Xu Bo'an picked up his cell phone and opened the address book. He found Lao Mao's phone page and presented it to the man with the gold chain, asking him to identify it carefully.

"Old Mao, 131XXX... What? This is Brother Mao's cell phone number. Didn't you say you don't know Brother Mao?" The man with the gold chain looked at Xu Boan in astonishment.

Xu Boan said expressionlessly: "I said I don't know Brother Cat, I didn't say I don't know Old Cat."

"You... who are you?" The man frowned and looked at Xu Boan, his eyes full of vigilance and questioning.

Xu Boan did not answer the man's question, but clicked the dial button on the phone book page, and immediately, the call was made to Lao Mao.

The call was answered after only three seconds of ringing, and a smiling greeting came from the phone.

"Boss Xu, haha, I was saying that my left eyelid has been twitching non-stop since I woke up this morning. It turns out that something good has happened. You actually thought of me while helping me!"

Hearing the voice on the phone, the man with the gold chain suddenly froze, and then looked at the small phone in disbelief, as if there was a huge demon hidden inside.

Xu Bo'an did not respond to Lao Mao immediately, but asked the shocked man softly, "Are you familiar with this voice?"

The man with the gold chain no longer had the arrogance on his face. He nodded with difficulty and said, "It's... it's Brother Mao's voice."

Xu Bo'an then said to the phone: "Old Mao, I'm calling for nothing. Someone just asked me if I knew Brother Mao. I said no, and he ridiculed me severely."

Hearing Xu Bo'an's words, the old cat on the other end of the phone suddenly became anxious and said hurriedly: "What? Mr. Xu! Don't be angry, which bastard is talking nonsense like this? I will deal with him immediately and give you a satisfactory answer."

Xu Bo'an didn't give Lao Mao any face at all, nor did he follow up his topic to give him any hints. He just said coldly: "What is there to ask? A willing person doesn't need to be taught, and a careless person can't be taught. Don't you know what kind of people you employ? You are such a grown-up, but you can't even manage your own people. What great things can you do? Well, that's it. I'm not very happy now and don't want to talk much."

After that, Xu Boan hung up the phone, looked at the dumbfounded man with the big gold chain with a playful look, and said: "Okay, now let's talk about some business. Please tell me how my brother offended you just now and let you bully him like this!" (End of this chapter)
