After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Chapter 898: Sour grapes if you can’t eat them

Ma Zeyang said, "Of course! When our General Manager Xu was still a leader at Dongjiang No. 2 Construction Company, he treated his employees very well. I was quite envious of him!"

Song Nianyao looked at Ma Zeyang and Sun Weiqi and said, "They actually distribute welfare housing to their employees? The era of distributing welfare housing is long gone. How many companies have the financial strength to do so now? Could it be that the welfare housing distributed by Kangtai Pharmaceutical Factory is from a development that the developer couldn't sell?"

Sun Zewei joined the company after Xu Bo'an left Dongjiang No. 2 Construction Company, so he didn't know much about Xu Bo'an. After hearing Song Nianyao's words, he looked at Ma Zeyang with some doubt and said, "Song Nianyao is right. Kangtai Pharmaceutical Factory must have quite a few employees. Distributing welfare housing to so many people is something that most companies simply can't afford."
Besides, Kangtai Pharmaceutical Factory is a relatively new establishment. Any funds they have will definitely be used for factory development; they wouldn't have extra money to distribute welfare housing to employees. There must be some hidden agenda behind this, something people wouldn't understand!

Ma Zeyang said, "I heard that the welfare housing distributed by Kangtai Pharmaceutical Factory is all owned by Zhai Qingshan, the richest man in Dongjiang City and president of the Dongjiang City Chamber of Commerce. Such a powerful developer would never cut corners and build some bad buildings. If they built inferior buildings, wouldn't they be ruining the Zhai family's reputation?"

After hearing Ma Zeyang's words, Sun Weiqi said, "In that case, Xu Bo'an is indeed quite capable! This completely explains why Young Master Li entrusted all of his advertising business to Qidian Advertising Company!"

Ma Zeyang said, "Yes, since President Xu was able to reach a cooperation agreement with the Zhai family on the employee welfare housing issue, it means that he has some connection with the Zhai family! In the entire Dongjiang City, who wouldn't want to get on the good side of the Zhai family? Young Master Li is no exception. He handed over all of his family's advertising business to Qidian Advertising Company. His purpose is definitely to curry favor with President Tang's brother and get on the good side of the Zhai family, so that his family's reputation can be further enhanced!"

People who are unaware of the situation would understand the problem in this way. Ma Zeyang's speculation is completely in line with normal people's logical thinking. However, what Ma Zeyang did not know was that Xu Bo'an's status in the Zhai family was almost unmatched. The reason why Li Shao entrusted Tang Muyang with all the advertising businesses under his family was actually because of Xu Bo'an.

Sun Weiqi said, "So, if that's the case, then Mr. Tang from Qidian Advertising Company has connections with his brother. Isn't he going to make a fortune?"

Ma Zeyang said, "Of course! Needless to say, their future is limitless!"

Upon hearing Ma Zeyang's words, Sun Weiqi exclaimed, "Heavens, please grant me such a capable older brother! I'm going to become rich overnight!"

Upon hearing Sun Weiqi's words, Ma Zeyang burst into laughter and retorted, "Dream on! Do you think everyone has the luck of having a good older brother like President Tang? Stop dreaming and get back to your life as a beast of burden!"

Sun Weiqi said with a smile, "Although we don't have the good fortune of having such a capable blood relative like President Tang, we can create it ourselves! It's not impossible for us to recognize a godbrother or something!" Ma Zeyang said, "President Xu is so capable, there are plenty of people who think like you. First of all, he doesn't have that much time to recognize a godfather, and secondly, are you sure you're the lucky one who can become a godfather?"

Sun Weiqi said, "You always have to try, right? Besides, if you can't become sworn brothers with President Xu, then try his younger brother, President Tang. If you get connected with President Tang, wouldn't that indirectly connect you with President Xu? Right, Song Nianyao? We're currently in charge of liaising with President Tang on some company business, so there are plenty of opportunities to get connected with him! I can become his sworn brother, and you can become his sworn sister, or even develop a romantic relationship—that would be pretty good!"

When Song Nianyao first heard Sun Weiqi tell these things, she was somewhat skeptical. To put it bluntly, she was just being a sour grapes, unwilling to believe the truth.

Hearing Sun Weiqi's detailed account, and having just witnessed Li Shao's obsequious and flattering attitude towards Tang Muyang, Song Nianyao felt an inexplicable pang of sadness. Even if she didn't want to believe it, it was impossible.

She had abandoned Tang Muyang not long ago because he was poor, but she never expected that he would be able to open a new company in Dongjiang in such a short time, and that he would be able to get so much business to come to him in such a short time thanks to his brother's connections.

Moreover, according to Ma Zeyang, Tang Muyang could earn a few hundred thousand yuan a year just from Li Shao's business. Adding the business from other companies, Tang Muyang's annual income would easily start at a million yuan.

When Song Nianyao first joined Dongjiang Second Construction Company, she felt she finally had a stable job and looked down on Tang Muyang, who ran a small advertising company. Moreover, Tang Muyang's small advertising company wasn't doing well at the time, which is why Song Nianyao disliked Tang Muyang and turned to her current boyfriend, whom she considered excellent in every way.

But in just a few months, she never expected that Tang Muyang's situation would change so drastically. Although she now has a stable job and is doing well, her monthly salary of a few thousand yuan, even if she and her boyfriend's salaries are combined, would only amount to a maximum of 200,000 yuan a year. Even if the two of them didn't eat or drink, it would take them five years to save a million yuan!
But Tang Muyang can easily earn in just one year what the two of them couldn't earn in five years without eating or drinking. This huge difference makes Song Nianyao feel very uncomfortable. She even thinks to herself how much better it would have been if she had insisted on not breaking up with Tang Muyang back then, so that she could have realized her dream of becoming a rich wife sooner! But now it's all too late!

As Song Nianyao was lost in thought, Ma Zeyang, hearing Sun Weiqi's words, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I didn't realize you had such progressive ideas! Song Nianyao just got engaged recently, okay? You're telling her to develop a relationship with Tang Muyang? That's like pushing her into a fire! If you want to develop a relationship, go do it yourself. Don't lead others astray! That kind of thinking is unacceptable! Right, Nianyao? Don't listen to his nonsense!" (End of Chapter)
