Supreme Heir Son-in-law

The next day at noon, Wang Lishan received a call from Director Zhang.

On the phone, Director Zhang’s tone was very excited, indicating he had some good news to share with him.

"Old Zhang, what kind of good news do you have that’s got you so excited?"

"Old Wang, our plan is about to be implemented. I just got some good news: there’s a piece of land in the North Suburb that’s about to go up for bidding. With our company’s strength, winning this bid is a piece of cake. But think about it, this is the company’s first large-scale bidding event recently. As the new chairman, wouldn’t Xu Ke want to look into this bidding? As long as we fake some accounts, he’ll grow suspicious of us. When he comes to investigate personally, if we lead him to the prearranged location, there’s no way he’d escape even if he had great abilities."

Upon hearing Director Zhang’s words, Wang Lishan was truly thrilled.

He had been waiting for a good opportunity, and now it had finally arrived.

This bidding process was practically tailored for them, and winning it and faking accounts would be all too easy.

Director Zhang is now in charge of the finance department, where everything is under his command.

As the new president, Xu Ke would have to investigate thoroughly to establish his authority in the company.

Yet, with people in every department, Wang Lishan would be informed at the slightest movement from Xu Ke.

As long as they followed the plan and lured Xu Ke in, wouldn’t Xu Group practically be Wang Lishan’s for the taking?

"Old Zhang, this plan of yours is brilliant! Let’s do as you say, and once it’s successful, I’ll treat you to a good time."

Director Zhang himself is in charge of the finance department, and any large-scale fund transfers, like this bidding, need to go through him.

Upon learning the news, Director Zhang immediately arranged for people to handle it. But for him, these things were almost child’s play.

He had weathered many storms in the company over the years, and a mere two billion bidding was as simple as drinking water for him.

Moreover, Xu Group held such power in the capital; wherever he was, other companies found it hard to compete with him for business.

With these means, Director Zhang had navigated the capital smoothly for many years.

He had already arranged everything within the company, with his relatives ensuring every aspect was covered.

Anything related to this bidding would reach his ears in less than five minutes.

Xu Ke was still oblivious to the bidding situation here, even though he was now nominally the company president and had not formally taken over.

Director Zhang had also locked down the information, not letting anything slip to Xu Ke’s side.

Today, Xu Ke was still busy investigating Wang Lishan’s situation, having begun to get a grasp of Wang Lishan’s personnel distribution in the company.

He was shocked to discover that Wang Lishan had replaced most employees with his own people.

It could be said that once Wang Lishan gave an order, the company might immediately be paralyzed, unable to conduct daily operations.

Since meeting Bai Lan, Murong Hai often spent time with her.

Of course, Murong Hai continued to inquire about internal company situations.

And he promptly reported this information to Xu Ke to help him respond sooner.

Today, as usual, Bai Lan invited Murong Hai to the restaurant for a meal.

But as soon as Bai Lan arrived, her face turned troubled.

"What’s wrong? You look unhappy. Did something at work upset you? Tell me, and I’ll help you sort it out."

Through these days with Bai Lan, Murong Hai gradually established a relationship with her.

Even he wasn’t sure how he ended up wooing this girl so recklessly.

"Don’t mention it. It’s just the company’s ongoing mess. Recently, isn’t there a piece of land going up for bidding in the North Suburb? Our company has taken an interest, so Director Zhang asked our design department to produce the design within three days. Usually, it takes us at least a week to complete one. Our department is so understaffed; doing it in three days is simply impossible. Yet, they just don’t care and ordered us to execute it immediately."

Listening to Bai Lan, Murong Hai sensed something was off.

How come he hadn’t heard about any bidding from the company before, and suddenly Director Zhang mobilized the entire company?

"What’s really going on with this bidding? How come I never heard about it?"

"Not just you, I never heard anything either. We only got the notice this morning, and we must finish in three days. Isn’t this making things difficult for us, not wanting us to work well?"

Thinking of this matter, Bai Lan was really angry. Usually, they tolerated Director Zhang’s actions, but now he was getting too greedy.

Did they really think the design department was easy to bully? Really, they were only afraid of the finance department.

Murong Hai perceived a hint of something wrong, realizing that company internal conflicts were more than he anticipated.

Xu Ke had previously mentioned that the company’s internal situation was very complicated.

But the current situation looked a bit severe, with such significant department conflicts. How could the business operate like this?

Xu Group currently has numerous partnerships; any company issue could trigger severe chain reactions.

"What’s going on within the company now? Why is it like this? Is there no one to stop Director Zhang’s actions? Are all the board members just doing nothing?"

Murong Hai couldn’t believe that Zhang Qiang and Li Dong would overlook such things.

Wang Lishan had done so much behind their backs; it was hard to believe they were completely unaware.

"Don’t even mention the board members. They don’t care about anything. Zhang Qiang and Li Dong haven’t been to the company in ages. Even Wang Lishan hasn’t shown up since last week. Recently, it’s been the department heads supporting everything; honestly, I don’t know how long they can keep it up."
