Tiandi Resort? Wei Zhao paused in mild surprise. During the class reunion planning, they'd only mentioned the town where the resort was located — and since the town happened to have only one resort, the name had been overlooked. Now it seemed the place was run by Zou Tiandi?
"Your boss is Zou Tiandi?" Wei Zhao glanced at the guard and asked casually.
"Yes, sir. Might I ask if you know our boss, sir?" The guard didn't dare slack off — he'd noticed that both Wei Zhao and Kang Xiaofeng had arrived in luxury cars, so they very well might know the boss.
"Oh, yes, I do," Wei Zhao nodded.
"Sir, would you like me to contact the boss for you?" the guard asked politely.
"That won't be necessary." Wei Zhao waved his hand dismissively. He was only here for a class reunion — he had no business with Zou Tiandi.
"Very well, sir." The guard didn't press further.
After locking their cars, Wei Zhao, Kang Xiaofeng, and the rest headed toward the resort's lobby. Several classmates had already arrived ahead of them. When they saw Kang Xiaofeng walk in, a good number of them — men and women alike — eagerly swarmed over to greet him.
Only a handful of people close to Wei Zhao knew that he was the true owner behind Dr. Guan's Pharmaceutical; everyone else was in the dark. But the fact that Kang Xiaofeng was the company's vice president had spread like wildfire until the entire class knew.
After all, Kang Xiaofeng had been showing up at new product launches constantly and had given numerous media interviews, so his public profile had shot up several times over.
For certain calculating young women who had always overlooked him, seeing this nobody from the shadows suddenly ascend to a general-manager-caliber newcomer was enough to make them beat their breasts in regret: How had they misjudged him? Why hadn't they seen Kang Xiaofeng's potential?
And when they dug a little deeper, they discovered Kang Xiaofeng already had a girlfriend — which only deepened their regret at having failed to seize the chance while it was there.
But now, the classmates who hadn't gotten into college started scheming: if they could build a good relationship with Kang Xiaofeng, then at the very least — out of respect for their old school days — he could land them a position at the pharmaceutical company. That shouldn't be a problem.
They weren't after anything grand like a supervisor or department head; even an ordinary staff position would do. Keep in mind, Dr. Guan's Pharmaceutical was a company with enormous prospects — just working there would be a fine thing.
Wei Zhao patted Kang Xiaofeng on the shoulder, then led Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu toward a sofa in the corner. He'd never been particularly close with most of the class anyway, and on an occasion like this — where everyone was fawning over Kang Xiaofeng — he was all the more content to keep to himself.
A short while later, Zhong Yongliang and Gao Xiaofu arrived as well. They naturally became objects of flattery too, for Zhong Yongliang's family had considerable holdings, and these classmates who were unemployed the moment they graduated were looking to him for a livelihood.
"Actually, this event today was organized jointly by Brother Liang and our class monitor. Originally, the monitor proposed splitting costs equally among everyone, with any shortfall covered from the remaining class fund. But Brother Liang said he would cover the entire cost of this outing — eat well, drink well, have fun!" Gao Xiaofu, seeing that most of the attendees had arrived, announced to the crowd.
And as for the class monitor — the actual organizer of this event — he didn't step forward to take credit either. He understood perfectly well that now that they'd graduated, his title as monitor carried no real authority. With Zhong Yongliang treating everyone this time around, he might as well let Zhong Yongliang have the spotlight.
