The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

Chapter 1159


Seeing Chen Fang's serious expression,

Mei Yiru also sat up.

Ignoring the lively Big White Rabbits on her chest, she asked, "Go on."

"Mei Jianxue, have you heard this name before?"

Just after Chen Fang asked,

Mei Yiru lay back down, pulled the quilt over her body, and showed an unhappy expression.

Chen Fang was also puzzled.

He was just asking about a name, why did her mood change so suddenly?

"What's wrong? I'm just asking about someone, is it worth making such a fuss?"

Mei Yiru snorted coldly.

She said, "I was wondering why you came looking for me so late at night. So that's it, you're asking about another vixen? You're a Disciplinary Committee Secretary, isn't it easy for you to find out about someone? Do you have to come to me and annoy me?"

"What do you mean? I don't understand,"

Chen Fang scratched his head and asked.

Mei Yiru said icily, "Yes, you can't understand because you're blinded by a vixen. Go find her then, that kind of person can swallow you whole."

It seemed she misunderstood.

Chen Fang quickly got out of bed.

He took out an envelope from his pocket.

After opening it, he placed a stack of photos in front of her.

Perhaps because of jealousy,

Mei Yiru originally didn't want to take them.

But after catching a glimpse of the first photo from the corner of her eye,

she shuddered, grabbed the photos suddenly, and began to look at them seriously, full of surprise.

"Oh my God, I can't believe Mei Jianxue is having an affair with Secretary Tang. No wonder Jianhai Group is doing so well. So that's the reason?"

After exclaiming,

Mei Yiru looked at Chen Fang and asked, "Where did you get these photos?"

Chen Fang explained the process of receiving a tip-off letter.

Mei Yiru immediately waved her hand and said, "Ah Fang, I know your character, but we shouldn't get involved in this matter. Mei Jianxue is a tricky person. Ji Shuzhen and Li Xuan are just small fry compared to her. If you get involved with her, you'll have big trouble."

"That's exactly why I'm asking you about Mei Jianxue,"

Chen Fang said.

Mei Yiru pondered for a moment.

She said, "I can tell you who she is, but again, this woman is untouchable. One touch could lead to death…"

Mei Jianxue is about thirty years old.

She's of mixed heritage.

Her height is around 1.78 meters.

Her father, Mei Qicheng, is the founder of the Jiancheng Group.

Her mother is a French woman named Alia.

Regarding Mei Jianxue's background,

it should start with Mei Qicheng.

Mei Qicheng worked at the French embassy in his early years.

Due to work reasons,

he met the French woman Alia.

They fell in love at first sight and quickly found themselves in a whirlwind romance.

But at that time, the national situation was quite special. If Mei Qicheng wanted to be with Alia, he had to resign from his public service position.

Even if it meant giving up a stable job and a great future,

Mei Qicheng resolutely handed in his resignation.

After struggling in France for a few years, he achieved nothing.

Which led Alia to gradually resent him.

In the fifth year after they got married,

the romance came to an end.

Mei Qicheng took their daughter Mei Jianxue back to China, where he began his journey of comeback.

This story is the legend of the Jiancheng Group. No one knows if it's true.

Mei Qicheng is from Shangqing City in Jiuhai Province.

More than twenty years ago,

the Shangqing City branch of Huakang Group decided to withdraw.

Mei Qicheng sold the old house, borrowed a large sum of money from relatives, friends, and colleagues, and took over one of Huakang Group's manganese mine sites in Shangqing City.

At that time, everyone thought this move was undoubtedly crazy.

After all, the reason Huakang withdrew was because decades of mining had exhausted the manganese ore in the mine.

But who would have thought that later developments would surprise everyone.

The year after Mei Qicheng took over the mine, he announced the discovery of a substantial manganese ore deposit.

The same year,

Jiancheng Group was founded.

And thus, Mei Qicheng's fame as a mining tycoon began.

Starting with manganese mines, Jiancheng Group grew step by step and, seven or eight years ago, had become the largest private mining group in Jiuhai Province and even several southern provinces.

Its market value once reached an astonishing over a hundred billion.

Its mines were not only spread throughout the country, it had business even in some African and American countries.

"Of course, these are all urban legends, no one knows if they're true. Jiancheng Group's headquarters was in our Shangqing City back then. Many people's parents worked for this group, and many grew up hearing these legendary stories."

Mei Yiru exhaled deeply and said.

Chen Fang understood her words.

Huakang Group is the country's number one mining group. If the mine Mei Qicheng contracted was rich in manganese ore, it wouldn't have been contracted at a low price.

So, whether there's something fishy here,

perhaps only insiders know.

He frowned and asked, "You said 'back then,' that Jiancheng Group doesn't exist anymore, does it?"

After all, Chen Fang had been in Shangqing City for some time.

If there was such a giant group in Shangqing City, he couldn't possibly not know about it.

Mei Yiru nodded.

She said, "It's not so much that it doesn't exist, but that it's been overhauled. To talk about the change in Jiancheng Group, we have to mention our protagonist, Mei Jianxue…"

Mei Jianxue was sent abroad to study at the age of 16.

She returned to the country after graduating at 22.

It was also around that time that Jiancheng Group went through changes, and its founder Mei Qicheng had a stroke.

Thrust into a critical situation,

the young Mei Jianxue had to take over Jiancheng Group in an emergency at that time.

This involved a bloody and stormy business rivalry.

Though Mei Qicheng was the founder of Jiancheng Group, by that time Jiancheng Group was already a listed company with a large number of shareholders, and since Mei Jianxue didn't have a firm foundation, after taking over the group, she faced a lot of pushback from the old-timers.

Not long after.

Mei Jianxue announced her resignation from Jiancheng Group.

It was speculated externally that Mei Jianxue's resignation was due to her defeat in the internal power struggle of the group.

Just when everyone thought this wealth battle was coming to an end,

just six months later,

Jiancheng Group announced again that Mei Jianxue was reassuming the position of chairman and CEO, and at the same time, Jiancheng Group underwent a name change, from then on becoming Jianhai Group.

No one knows what happened in between.

The whole time,

it turned out that Jianhai Group's predecessor was Jiancheng Group.

Mentioning this Jianhai Group,

Chen Fang had heard of it.

Not only had Chen Fang heard of it, but it was almost universally known throughout Shangqing City.

The largest private enterprise in Shangqing City, last year's revenue reached an astounding 150 billion.

It is one of only two private listed companies with a market value exceeding a hundred billion in Jiuhai Province on the main board.
