Chapter 131 - Li KangYi on the Move Again (3)
There had been rumors recently that the boss hasn't been too pleased with the boss of the construction company so Li KangYi has some ideas.
The construction company was part of the Jiang's and it was impossible for it to lose money. The only difference was making a lot versus making not so much. And a position like that offered a lot of opportunities for some under-the-table income.
But too many people had their eyes on that position. Some of them in the same office as him and others were department heads in the headquarter. Li KangYi knew full well that he had no chance against all of his competitions. Sitting in front of his desk, he was very anxious.
What would be a good way to squeeze out all of his competitions?
Li KangYi thought about it long and hard, trying to isolate any edges that he might have over the others. Suddenly, he recalled something. He flipped to his chat with his boss and found a picture.
That's it!
He had seen a child who resembled his boss a lot and wanted some reward from it but his boss didn't believe it. He was about to report it up to the empress but then his boss came asking him about the child again. He had heard nothing from the boss again after that and he, himself, had forgotten all about it over time.
He had not heard any words about the boss recognizing a son. What he heard, on the other hand, was scandal between his boss and another wealthy girl. Li KangYi was certain that the boss must have something to do with the child. There was no such thing as coincident in this world. How could the two looked so alike if they were not related by blood?
Li KangYi had no idea why his boss was keeping the news on the download but he didn't care either. Just the simple thought of the benefits that he could get from this piece of information was enough to make his chest burn from passion.
He was a very efficient person. Once he has his mind set to look into it, he had decided to not bother about faking it in the office anymore. He picked up his stuff immediately, clocked out, and headed toward the night market in his car.
He wasn't able to try the barbeque last time and, being bolted down by all sorts of other things that happened since, he hasn't been back here since. It was very cold in the winter time and businesses in the night market wasn't as good they were in the summer time. In addition to barbeque, there were also some clay pots available.
Li KangYi walked inside and ordered a bunch of barbeque meats. A slightly chubby woman handed him a plate. He placed his items on there and asked, testing water, "How come I don't see the boss today?"
"I am the boss," said the chubby lady. And, immediately after that, realized what he was asking about. "Oh, you meant the old boss? She quit."
"What? Why?!" Li KangYi was a bit emotional. How was he going to find her again if she had quit?
Xu Li had been asked this a lot so she didn't think Li KangYi's question was out of the ordinary. She placed the meats on the barbeque rack and went on, "She opened up a store, over at Rongjiang, selling lamb. Her business is doing very well."
Just like every other time, she was happy to let the customers know about Cheng Huan's new shop. And, just like every other time, Li KangYi asked for the address of Cheng Huan's shop just like most other customers.
Xu Li told him the address and the customer looked like he was about to take off.
"Hey, don't you want your barbeque?" Xu Li grabbed him.
"I have something that I need to go and take care of." Li KangYi was anxious and was no longer in the mood to try the barbeque. He pulled out a 100 yuan note and placed it into Xu Li's hand. "Here's the money. You can do with the food whatever you please."
