Supreme Heir Son-in-law

At that time, Zhang Fei and the others finally understood that everything Old Mr. Xu did was for the future development of the company.

However, they couldn’t figure out what exactly the direct relationship between this oil and the gas stations was.

Though gas stations also need oil, it’s generally not on a large scale.

The amount they had used over the past five years was merely one-third of what was initially planned, far from meeting Old Mr. Xu’s requirements.

After receiving the orders, Zhang Fei and the others immediately began to secretly set things up.

Initially, they maintained a one-way contact with Old Mr. Xu. But as time went on, more and more things happened within the company.

Although Zhang Fei and the others were well aware of everything outside, they were helpless as they had already detached from the Headquarters, unable to do anything.

They had been stationed there for five years by now, and Zhang Fei and the others could be said to be very dedicated and responsible.

Every year they would send a detailed report of all activities at the gas stations to Old Mr. Xu via email.

And every year, Old Mr. Xu would reply with an email, encouraging them to continue their efforts.

But Zhang Fei and the others never expected that Old Mr. Xu would abdicate so abruptly, leaving them unprepared.

They didn’t know to whom they should send their reports after Old Mr. Xu stepped down.

Upon learning that Xu Ke was Old Mr. Xu’s grandson, they immediately wanted to make contact.

However, they never had the chance, so they had to wait until today.

After listening to the manager’s account, Xu Ke finally understood the ins and outs of the situation.

However, his doubts only deepened. Why did Old Mr. Xu set up these gas stations in the first place?

After setting up these stations, he left them unattended, allowing them to develop freely.

When combined with previous assertions, this seemed somewhat contradictory.

Xu Ke found it increasingly difficult to guess what his grandfather was really thinking, nor did he know what the old gentleman truly intended.

In any country, oil is an extremely important strategic resource, and companies that control oil undoubtedly hold significant power on the international stage.

Xu Ke had a hunch that his grandfather’s act of establishing these gas stations was merely a simple test.

His real aim should be the untapped blue ocean of oil, and his years of preparation must have been for significant future moves.

However, as Old Mr. Xu’s health worsened, he could no longer hold on. As a last resort, he had to hand the company over to him.

Of course, these were all Xu Ke’s speculations; the real reason needed to be asked from his grandfather.

After all, all this was orchestrated by him back then, and only he truly understood the actual situation.

To Xu Ke, the manager in front of him was an old veteran, and Xu Ke generally would not treat such a loyal person poorly.

He understood that someone like the manager likely needed nothing material now, probably just a stable life.

"I will assign someone to take over the matters of the gas stations. If you wish to continue, you may stay. If not, you can return to Headquarters, and I will arrange a suitable position for you."

Upon hearing Xu Ke’s words, the manager was extremely moved.

Though everything was good here, something still seemed lacking.

Having been with Xu Group for eighteen years, he had long developed a deep connection with the company.

Even though he was serving Xu Group here, he felt it was inherently different.

Zhang Fei still wanted to return to Headquarters, even if it meant being an associate director again.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu. I now just wish to return to the company and take any position, as long as I don’t stay here."

Xu Ke could see that Zhang Fei had truly had enough of being here, which was quite understandable.

Dealing only with vehicles back and forth, anyone would eventually tire of it.

"Then report to the company tomorrow at this time. I remember you were previously an associate director, so when you return, you will be promoted to director. If you perform well, I will allocate 1% of company shares to you as a reward."

Xu Ke has never been stingy when it comes to loyal people.

He always understood that only when everyone was well-fed and well-clothed could they work energetically.

Only when everyone lives well-off, can they wholeheartedly contribute to the company’s development.

After hearing Xu Ke’s words, Zhang Fei felt elated. He never dreamed that one day he could become a shareholder in the company.

Though it was just 1% of the shares, it was enough for him.

He had never been particularly ambitious and had worked at the company all these years out of gratitude to Old Mr. Xu.

Indeed, the grace of being appreciated is unforgettable. It’s easy to add flowers to a brocade, but difficult to send charcoal in a snowstorm.

When Zhang Fei first joined the company, he was penniless and knew nothing.

At that time, colleagues constantly marginalized him, and some even sabotaged him, making him want to quit.

It was Old Mr. Xu who discovered him and gave him the opportunity that made him who he is now.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu. I will surely work hard to repay your kindness."

Xu Ke didn’t want to dwell on these matters now; he just wanted to quickly gather the troops.

Glancing at the time, he noticed the plane was about to land, so he became anxious.

Since this was his family’s business, Xu Ke wasn’t hesitant.

"I have an urgent matter now; quickly fill my tank."

"Alright, alright, I’ll take care of it right away." With that, Zhang Fei immediately arranged for someone to start filling up Xu Ke.

The two people in line before them were visibly displeased, wondering why Xu Ke could cut in line when they had been waiting for so long.

The owner of the BMW in the middle was unsatisfied, and immediately got out of the car to confront the manager.

The manager was still reporting the recent situation at the gas station to Xu Ke when the BMW owner, seeing this, became infuriated.

After waiting in line for so long, someone now cut in front!

"I say, how are you managing this? Don’t you understand the principle of first-come, first-served? We’ve been waiting so long, and you let this person cut in line."

Seeing the BMW owner behind, Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment but quickly realized their discontent was due to Xu Ke cutting in line.

"Sir, we’re very sorry; it’s a special situation. How about this: we’ll waive your gas fee this time. What do you think?"

Zhang Fei didn’t want to create more complications, so he thought of quickly appeasing the BMW owner.
